RIoToUS FAREWELL TO MOST
Meeting to Pay Respects to Sentenced
Anarchists Ends I'm Threat
ening BrawI.

NE WYoRK. May 5.-About 1000 persons
gathered in a Brooke street hall tonight to
say farewell to Johann Most, the anarchist.
Herr Most is booked to go to Jail tomor-
row, under sentence of having printed In
his paper an article on murder. Tonight's
meeting was turned into a riotous demon
stration against the police. Three city de-
~tectives had been attracted to the hall by
loud cheering. They went In when Will
liam Mcqueen, editor OF a local paper, was
assailing the government and declaring him
self an anarchist. BY the time the officers
reached the stage Most was addressing the
crowd in German.
The detectives placed the two speakers
under arrest. This was the signal for a
riotous outbreak. The detectives had to
fight their way to the street with their
prisoners, and the crowd then grew so
threatening that the reserves were called
out. After some dif1culty Most, Mcqueen
and one other man were taken to a police
station and locked up.

object to Lacey Lease Bill.

PIERRE. s.. D., May 5.-(special)-
stockmen in this section who favor a range
leasing bill are not in favor Of the Lacey
lease bill which has been introduced in
congress. They object to a proviso which
allows a homesteader to file rights on this
leased land at any time which. they say,
kills the leasing benefits of the measure as
1t would stop any holder of a lease from
fencing. He might had a homesteader set
thing down in the middle of his pasture
the day after his fence was completed, and,
in fact. would expect one to be there to
get advantage Of the fence for his own
stock after IL had been constructed at the
expense of the leaseholder.

Captain H. C. DeRooy, late Of General
Delarey's stan, who is delivering lectures
throughout the United states on behalf Of
the Beers and organizing branches of the
Trsnsvaal league, addressed an audience OF
200 people at the German Evangelical
church Sunday evening.
His address all through was a denuncia-
ton Of the English and Mr.. Chamberlain
THE Beers will never give up" he said.
They have all the resources necessary at
their command and can easily defeat the
English II left alone. People wonder where
they get their supplies. Kitchener, al
though a British commander. is the Beers
commissary general. Whenever they need
anything they make q raid on a British
camp and generally secure enough supplies
to last several months"
The captain urged that the United States
stop permitting the British to ship mules
from this country to South Africa and
said that IL that was done the Beers would
win, and win quickly.
Captain DeRooy had announced his inten-
ton of presenting a set Of resolutions to
his audience requesting President Roose-
welt to offer his friendly offices for an ar
bitration Of the Boer-British difficulties,
but he did not. He stated, however, that
It was proposed to try to secure an arbi-
tration board to consist OF the president
Of the United States, the president Of the
Swiss republic and the queen OF Holland.
The formation OF a local branch Of the
Transvaal league was referred to Rev. Mr..
Sassman, to be taken up later.
From here Captain DeRooy will go to
Omaha, where he is booked for a lecture.
From omaha he expects to go to Lincoln
to confer with w. J. Bryan.
