Police Have a Hot Time With q Mob
, in Harleln,


Police Have a Hot Time With a Mob
in Harlem,
New York, Dec. PA race skirmish
between whites and blacks in Harlem
yesterday developed serious proportions
and kept the police busy for time
The negroes, 100 strong, were armed
with revolvers and clubs, while equally
as many whites used stones dis weap-
ons. The negroes had the advantage,
but were driven hack into their tene-
ments by the police after they had
charged on the whites with pistols and
razors. Fifteen negroes were arrested.
Four whites, including a policeman,
were badly shot or cut.
The shooting began when some white
boys stoned two colored girls where
upon a dozen negroes seized the white
boys and beat them. The boys, when
released, told their story to white men
in the vicinity, and an organized at
tack was made on the negroes, who
were driven back to their tenements
under a shower of stores. The con-
fusion increased when the white men
began to lombard the tenement with
stones and other missiles, and the ne
groes fired from their windows into the
crowd. The whites, surprised by the
shooting, and seeing men fall wounded,
turned and ran, followed by thes ne
groes. who used knives and clubs tree
ly. At this point squad of policemen
arrived on the scene and with drawn
clubs stopped the rioting, chasing the
negroes into their houses.

ON THE WARpATH.
Pawnec Indians Eat Buffalo Meat
and Become Very UrIy

Pawnec Indians Eat Buffalo Meat
and Become Very Ugly.
Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 27.-The Pawnee
Indians are on the warpath. An i'm
mense buffalo bull was so injured in
transferring from the Santa Fe stock
yards to Pawnee Bills ranch, south of
Guthrie, that he had to be killed. The
meat was given by Maj. Lille to the
Indians for a buffalo dance. The In
dams have been dancing and pow-wow-
ing ever since. They claim the vast
herds Of buffalo are coming back to
this country and many of the Indians
have notified the white lessees to va
cate their ranches at once, as they
wish to lay the fences low so the buff
alo will have full sway of the country.
The white people in the remote parts
of the reservation are coming to Paw
nee, and report that the Indians are
oCting in a threatening manner toward
them. Pawnee Bill has placed mount
Il guards around his buffalo ranch, as
the Indians are camping in the timber
west of there and in sight of the herd,
and from their suspicious actions he
thinks they intend to liberate the herd.
The United States Indian agent at
that point has been notified and has
made a report to the commissioner Of
Indian affairs at Washington.

GERMANY IS MAD.
Will Make n Naval Demonstration
Against Venezuela,

Will Make n Naval Demonstration
Against Venezuela.
La Guayra, Venez., Dec. 29-The Ger
man cruiser Vineta yesterday anch-
ored off this port. The event caused
great excitement, as it was taken for
granted that the arrival of the vessel
meant that Germany's threatened ma
val demonstration was on.
An interesting incident occurred early
in the day. When the Venezuelan
health officer went alongside the Vineta
a. o'clock in the morning he was not
allowed to board her. The Venezuelan
officials Immediately interpreted the
action of the German officers to mean
that the cruiser had visited La Guayra
on warlike business in connection with
the claims of German citizens. But at
8 o'clock a German officer called on the
authorities and explained that the re-
fusal to allow the health officer to
board the Vinata was due to the fact
that he went alongside the cruiser at
too early an hour.
Naval Demonstration.
Washington, Dec. 29.-The gathering
OF German warships in the vicinity Of
Venezuela and the presence in the same
locality of many American, British,
French, and other foreign warships, is
directing attention to the imminence
of the naval demonstrat ton Germany is
about to make against Venezuela. Thus
ia. the German government has not
made known the exact details of her
proposed move the official conlmunica-
lions to the United States being con-
fined to an inquiry as to the attitude
of this government on the question of
demonstration in view of the purpose
on the part Of Germany not to acquire
any permanent foothold in Venezuela.
The answer of this government was
entirely satisfactory to the German
authorities who since have proceeded
with the execution of their plans for
coercing Venezuela. It is said to be
probable that the first move by Ger
many will be the. establishment of
blockade of Venezuelan ports SO as to
prevent the introduction of food prod
ucts into Venezuela, ard thus starve
tn besieged into submission. Ven
ezuela, it is said, is entirely dependent
on the outside world for it's supply of
corn, which is staple among the Ven
ezuelans. The Germans are expected
to occupy one or more of the main
ports Of Venezuela, probably La
Guayra and Maracaibo. In this connec-
ton most, positive assurances have
been given to the United States gov
eminent that the occupation is to be
temporary and only for such length Of
time as will permit the collection of the
debt due to Germans, thps disposing Of
the report that there Is any Interior
purpose to establish German coaling
station on Venezuelan soil.

WIRELESS FOR THE NAVY.
MarcOni's System Will BE Tried OF
WarshfDS.

MarcOnfs system VIII BE Tried on
Warships.
Washington, Dec. 2S.-The navy de-
partment has taken the initial steps
toward the adoption Of wireless tel
egraphy as means of signalling be-
tween warships at sea. To this end
AGmiral Bradford. Of the bureau Of
equipments, has asked that the ar
mored cruisers Of the Pennsylvania
class have their nasts and rigging SO
arranged that the wireless system can
b, introduced. This will necessitate
the frightening of the masts of the
ships and the Insulation of the metal
rigging by the use of hemp covering for
halyards. It is intended to get test
sets Of instruments of the various
wireless systems now being operated.
These include the Marconi system.
Thus far, however, the navy depart
nent has not adopted definitely any
System, but the construction Of the
new ships is regarded as preliminary
to the adoption of a system whenever
Its practicability is established fully.
The British navy already has num-
Der of its ships equipped with the wire
less system, but this is the first move
on the part of the American navy to
make use Of the wireless plan.

PRESIDENTS Personal CHOICE
NO oND SUGGESTED THAT SHAW
BE INVITED TO TAKE THE
PLACE.
SECRETARY WILSON WILL STAY
IOWA WILL HAVE TWO MEMBERS
AT THE CABINET TA-
BILE.

Washington, Dec. q. Official an
nourcement was made from the White
House last evening that Gov. Leslie NJ.
Shaw of Iowa will become secretary of
the treasury, and that his acceptance
of a position in President Roosevelts
cabinet will not affect the position Of
Secretary Wilson.
This official announcement settles the
question as to the presidents attitude
toward Secretary Wilson. 1t has been
known among the mutual friends Of
the president and Secretary Wilson for
some time that they held such cordial
relations as to indicate the continuance
of the latter as member of the cabi-
net regardless of other cabinet changes.
Pre- siGent Roosevelt has never had any
intention of allowing Secretary Wilson
to retire from the cabinet if he could
persuade him 20 remain He feels the
need of just such counsel as that of the
ard-headed-farmer member, not only
in reference to the questions arising in
the department of agriculture, but also
on all questions which touch the great
body Of the people.
Gov. Shaw is the presidents own
choice for secretary of the treasury.
No one made the suggestion that he in
vite Shaw into his cabinet. But he
knew the popularity Of Shaw in his
own state and the West, and he knew
that his financial views, in perfect ac-
cord with the Republican platform,
were supported by the Republicans of
the West.
Iowa will have two members of the
cabinet but both of them are more
than Iowa men. They are both West
ern men, who represent the great ag-
ricultural section of the country, as
popular in Illinois, Nebraska and the
West as in their own home state.
1t is supposed that Gov. Shaw will be
indicted into his new Office some time
in January. He will be succeeded as
governor next week by A. B. Cunnmins,
who was elected Nov. last
