All hope for the safety of the fisher

THE INFANTRY MEANT TO LYNCH HIM

San Francisco, Cal, June 1.--soldiers
to the number of five or six hundred in
dulged in riot last night and wrecked
one of the many drinking places Just
outside the Presidio reservation.
There are many conflicting stories as
to the origin Of the trouble. The SOL
diers of the Forty Sixth Volunteer In
fantry were mustered out of the service
yesterday and the men given their dis
charges and pay. Most OF the men had
several hundred dollars coming to them
and they did considerable drinking in the
Preside resorts.
A man by the name of Morgan, Of the
Forty Sixth, was found unconscious in the
front of Mrs. Powers saloon Two of
Morgan's companions went to camp to
summon aid The doctor pronounced it
a case where drugs had been administer
ed. The news spread about the camp
and soon there were dozen or more
men running to Mrs. Powers saloon
Tf@a demanded reparation for the drug
ging Of their comrade, but any knowledge
of the affair was denied. Two or three
men lounging about the place sided ia
with the woman and ordered the soldiers
from the premises. They went back Tor
reinforcements and spread the report that
two of their companions had been killed
in the saloon.
a mob made up of members of the For
ty-Fifth and Forty Sixth regiments then
rushed pell nell through the Preside
gates to the saloon which was entirely
wrecked
The place caught fire from the over
turned lamps. One Of the tenders
was severely beaten and cutr There were
threats to lynch him when a squadron Of
cavalry and provost guard of sixty from
the Forty Fifth regiment arrived ana
rescued him.
The efforts of the cavalry and guard
to disperse the crowd were futile until
the fire department turned the hose upon
them. This and the entire guard OF the
post helped to restore order.
A careful investigation of the report
that some of the soldiers had died from
dIugged liquor proved that such was not
the case. Morgan, of the Forty-Sixth
regiment, was the only man whom it is
thought might have been the victim of a
drug
An investigation Of the riot will be
made by the police and military officials.

ON THE NEW EMPIRE
A Statement by Bryan on the
Supreme Courts
Decision.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Lincoln, Neb., June Taking for his
text the words Emperor Mckinley" w.
J. Bryan tonight gave out an extended
statement bearing on the Supreme court
decision in the insular cases. Mr.. Bry
an declared the Supreme court has joined
hands with the President and Congress
in an effort to change our form of Gov
ernment and he calls on the people to
repudiate the verdict. Mr.. Bryan says in
part:
by vote Of five to four the Supreme
court has declared President Mckinley
Emperor of Porto Rico, and according
to the press dispatchs the Emperor has
gladly and gratefully accepted the title
conferred upon him by the highest judi
cial tribunal of the land.
Those who were encouraged to be-
lieve that the Constitution had caught UP
with the flag were doomed to disappoint-
ment. In the Downes case, decided i'm
mediately afterwards. a majority of the
court composed of Justices Brown, Gray
White, Shiras and McKenna, held that
Congress could deal with Porto Rico, and
the same logic applies to the Philippines,
without regard to the limitations of the
Constitution Chief Justice Fuller and
Associate Justices Harlem, Peclham and
Brewer dissented in strong and vigorous
language, but the opinion of the ma
jority-even a majority of one stands un-
til it is reversed. This is one of the
most important decisions, if not the most
important, ever rendered by the court;
it not only declares that Congress is
greater than the Constitution which
created 1.-THE creature greater than the
creator-but it denies the necessity for
a written constitution.

Richmond, Va, June 1.-Richmond
was outplayed today, and Raleigh, in a
good game, won the fourth of the series
between the two clubs. The attendance
was the best of the season, and the
crowd was the most enthusiastic. Many
old timers were there and "Rooter's
Row. had it's old ring about it. The
Richmond club is playing good ball, and
in acknowledgement of that fact the
fans are attending the game.
Unfortunately for Richmond yester-
day, Hooker, who went in to pitch first,
was out of shape, and in the very first
INNING he allowed three hits, one of
them for two bags which, in addition
to two errors, one by Big5ie and one
by Collifiower, resulted in four runs for
Raleigh. This knocked the ginger out
of the locals for moment but they
braced up and played a splendid uphill
game. Hooker displayed weakness,
however for in the fourth and fifth in
nings he gave four hits and three
passes, netting three more runs.
Thomas was then put in, and not
cnCthcr run was made and but two hits.
ichr1Cnd'a runs We're made singly.
The first one came over in the third.
Darby secured first on a choice, went to
third on Fillman's single, and scored
on Bigbie's put out at first. The sec
ond run was made in the next INNING
Traeger walked to first, went to second
on Hennagers error took third on
Bass out at first and scored on Hook
er's single. In the fifth another run
was made. Fillman singled, caught
second on Bigbies out at first, and
scored on Soffle's hit. The last was
made in the eighth. Soffle singled and
scored on Colliflower's two bagger.
That ended it for Richmond. Raleigh
won the game in the first. Sorber, af-
ter Stanley had gone out to Bass, safed
at first on a tumble of his grounder by
Bigbie and went to third on CollifioW
er's tumble of Hennager's grounder,
scoring a moment later on Atz's single.
The latter stole second and Hennager
went to third. A two bagger by Kelly
brought both men in and he himself
scored on eaver's hit
