lice station. and four Italians were
wounded by revolvers in riot at an
early hour today.
The trouble started in a saloon. A post
election argument was started and sew
eral blows We're struck. The crowd,
composed chiefly of Italians, then surged
out to the sidewalk. where pistols and
knives were drawn. When the police and
detectives arrived Frank Winch was
found lying unconscious in the street.
The others had either scattered or had
gone to the floor above the saloon
Lieutenant Moore took half of his men
up the stairway and rapping on the door
ordered those inside to open it. He was
greeted with a volley OF shots, one of
which grazed his head and another en-
tered his right arm. Despite this ne drew
his revolver with his left hand and with
the officers battered down the door. As
the police entered the lamp which had
lighted the place was put out, leaving
the room in darkness. Another was pro-
cured and more than dozen men were
arrested.

strangers into a town. where they spend
their money literally so that everybody
is benefited. 1t is the rag-tag carnivals
that have brought the name and fame of
the good ones into disrepute Cheap ag-

fair ground grafters, with tawdry tents
dirty and ragged canvass, dingy old
painted fronts and the most immoral and

poor house events are called carnivals

carnival companies to uplift it however,
and this is what the Gaskill- Mundy-

class are doing They are making good

General Hayes is sixty years old, but
look far younger. He talks most inter
ostingly about his experiences in Cuba

that the United States proper will be
confined to this continent and that some
time it will be only a protectorate that
we will exercise over the islands that

ippines. The Colonel being sick he was
in command.
In the Philippines he was with Cen
erals Lawton and Young in the Northern
campaign in Luzon. With his command
he assisted in chasing Agunaldo from his
capital at Tarlac when he was striking
for Byombong. After this campaign he
came back to Manila and Middle Luzon,
where he was with General Lawton till
the latters death on December 10, 1899.
He went out twenty seven miles from
Manila for General Lawtons body and
made the round trip-fifty four miles-in

He went into the Southern Luzon cam
paign in June, 1900, in command of parts

Attempts to Burn Cup Defender.
lRv the Associated PressN

Bristol, r. l., April 10.-Indications that
twice during the last week attempts have
been made to burn the HerreshoH boat
shops and the new cup defender Reliance
have just come to light. The matter was
not reported to the police but extra pre-
caution has been taken to guard the
property. Two years ago an attempt was
made to burn the boat shop and the yacht
Constitution which was being built, and
the Would-be incendary was captured
and subsequently was declared to be in
sane. 1t is thought that the present at
tempts have been due to q similar cause.
Apparently every effort has been made
to keep the facts from becoming public.
1t appears, however, that last Monday
evening, the Waterman at the Herreshoff
Works found some grease saturated gar
ments piled near the staging about the
Reliance and on top of the pile was a
lighted candle which had burned to within
an inch of the refuse. The Waterman
acted quickly and prevented a fire.OSteps
were taken to guard against a recurrence
of such an experience. but on Tuesday
night another pile of refuse was found
near the boat No attempt had beer
made to fire it. The workmen are of the
opinion that the second attempt at least
was only matter of carelessness on the
part of some one about the shop.
