Mixture OF weapons That Was Used
by Blacks and Whites in a Christ
mas Riot at Harlem.
FOUR PERSONS SHOT OR CUT
BEFORE THE POLICE PUT AN END TO
THE GRACE skIRMIsH."
Fifteen Negroes Under Arrest and
Four Whites Suffering from Sc
rious WOunds-Other Crimes.

NEW YORK, Dec. Pa race skirmish
between whites and blacks in Harlem to-
day developed serious proportions and
kept the police busy for time. The
negroes. 100 strong, were armed with re-
volvers and clubs. while equally as many
whites used stones as weapons. The
negroes had the advantage, but were
driven back into their tenements by the
police after they had charged on the
whites with pistols and razors. Fifteen
negroes were arrested. Four whites, in
Guiding a policeman, were badly shot or
cut.
The rioting began when some white boys
stoned two colored girls, whereupon a
dozen negroes seized the white boys and
beat them. The white boys, when released
told their story to white men in the vicin-
on the negroes, who were driven back to
their tenements under a shower of stones.
The confusion increased when the white
men began to lombard the tenements with
stones and other missiles, and the negroes
fired from their windows into the crowd.
The whites, surprised by the shooting
and seeing men fall wounded, turned and
ran, followed by the negroes, who used
knives and clubs freely. At this point a
squad of policemen arrived on the scene
and with drawn clubs stopped the rioting,
chasing the negroes into their houses.

MIR. BRUSH IN HIDING.
Even IL He Were willing to Talk
Reporters Could Not Find Him.

Just how seriously John T. Brush takes
the story from Cincinnati regarding his
being ousted from baseball in that city
will not be known for few days, at least,
as efforts TO have talk upon the matter
last night were entirely fruitless The
story goes that a syndicate of Cincin-
natians purpose 10 place National League
team in Cincinnati regardless of Mr..
Brush's wishes This evidently actuated
Santa Claus TO present Mr.. Brush with
a device whereby he can fade away and
retire completely from the scrutiny OF
newspaper men who have been seeking
him. he faded away last night and could
not be found He was somewhere in the
city, IL is said. but his hiding place could
not be found. Inquiry at his residence
made repeatedly during the early evening
and later at night brought no response
Late in the afternoon il was given out at
has home that he was not there and no one
knew where he was. At a mass meeting
OF correspondents and local newspaper
men IL was agreed to sc after the willy
baseball magnate with concerted efforts
but after working all evening on the lob
the scouts reported that he had evidently
taken refuge in a secret place that would
put the ones told about in romantic novels
TO shame y few accused him of being at
home refusing to answer telephone calls
or calls at his door. while others said he
had sought a hiding place in the city
Wherever he was he could not be found
and the baseball world will have to wait
for news from him. which will no doubt
be 10 the effect that he does not care TO
discuss the matter.

VIOLET CURE FOR CANCER.
Was 1t an Actual Cure or Merely n
Special Affinity:
Salt Lake Tribune.

The cure of cancer with violet leaves
was reported some time ago, and ere
ated some attention. Just what the claim
of cure rested upon has not been clear till
recently The facts are thus given. Lady
Margaret Marsham was afflicted with a
malignant cancer, which defied surgery.
She lay apparently in extremis, and was so
believed to be by her physicians. A lady
friend who called TO bid her the long fare
well mentioned a story told by an old
nurse that cancer could be cured by violet
leaves. The doctors made no objection to
the experiment being tried as the ladys
span of life was not supposed 20 extend
beyond few hours at most. So a bunch
of violets was obtained and macerated in a
quart of water Lint was soaked in the
greenish infusion and applied to the cam
cerous growth. The lady did not die. The
violet treatment was repeated daily, and
coincidently with il the malignant growth
gradually suhsided and finally disappea red
altogether and the lady is now reported in
good health. The London Daily News tells
the story, with the assurance that the facts
are as stated These facts make an appar-
emily strong case for the violet leaves, but
the News carefully avoids making any
claim that the violet-leaf infusion effected
the cure The doctors refused to pass
judgment on the curative value of violets

cation of the above facts created a violet

they had such SPECIFIC value as a cure as
one would naturally suppose from a read

there ought TO have been many corrobora-
tive cures; but no others are reported. The
question is, then, what cured the lady

MONTPELIER, Ind, Dec. 25.-Operations
in the greater Indiana oil field for the
month of December, now closing. show that
237 wells were completed of which thirty
seven failed to produce oil. The output of
the rest amounts to 3,460 barrels a day. or
an average per well per day of 17.S barrels.
This is a decrease in completed wells from
the November figures Of thirty-one and of
$40 barrels in new production. In new work
under way there is also a net decline of
thirty-seven, being twenty-five less drilling
wells and twelve less rigs up. This usually
has been the case during this month in
past seasons. Tie extreme cold weather
and the holidays are accountable for the
drop in operations. The runs from the
wells are holding up remarkably well for
the weather experienced. Leases have been
put into the best of producing shape and
not as much trouble will be experienced
with frozen oil lines as in previous years.
The annual figures for the year will APP

the crude product has been declining and
the oil men are taking things easy. The

Comment on Stead's Characterization
of the World

LONDON, Dec. 25.-The Daily News this
morning, in an editorial discussing William
T. Stead's pamphlet on 1.-The Americaniza-
ton of the World" admits that Mr.. Glad
stones prophecy that the United States
would replace Great Britain as the premier
commercial nation has been, on the whole
realized; but it declares it to be utterly
impossible that Great Britain, as Mr.. Stead
extravagantly suggests, could ever enter
an American union, except after a series
of disasters rendering separate existence
impossible. The paper considers any kind
of an Anglo-American federation unlikely,
owing to the Britons Unsuitable love of
caste, which led Golden to insist that Eng
lishmen were aristocrats rather than demo-
Gratis. For the rest it confesses the enor-
nous influence which the United States
yields over the British colonies and that
a majority of Irishmen would vote for fed
Grafton with the United States. The ar
ticle further says it would be interesting
to see what might happen IL the United
States should drop their protectionist policy
and should offer to Jamaica, Canada or
even Australasia the immense bride of ad-
mission on reciprocal terms to their vast,
overwhelming markets.

WASHINGTON. Dec 25-A. G. Spalding
left here tonight for South Carolina, but
before leaving gave out a statement in
answer to the communication given out by
Andrew j. Freedman's attorney regarding
Mr.. Spalding's announcement that he
would not act further as president-secre-

Inc quotation that this New York at

leading as everything that Mr. Freedman

tack on Mr.. Freedman and his methods as

BERLIN, Dec. 25.-The government,

titude regarding the tariff bill. will pro-
pose, when the committee having the mat
ter in charge meets, that the minimum
grain duties be stricken out. These mini

fix a limit under which concessions could
not be made in the commercial treaty
negotiations. The elisions leave the Min
istry free to meet the views of Russia re-
speeding grain and hay. Thus far it has
not made any representations concerning
the tariff, being advised to wait until it
was seen in what form the measure would
be apt to pass.
