COLUMBIA STUDENTS
 IN A SERIOUS RIOT
POLICE RESERVES CALLED OUT
 TO oUELL IT.

Trouble Brought About by Attempt of
 Freshman Class to Hold an Enter

 Released by Their cIassmates-
 Reign of Terror for q Time.
 New York, Sept. 2s.-The freshman class Of Columbia university gathered tonight for the first time in its his- tcry to hold q vaudeville entertain ment. The affairs was held in Terrace Garden. Before the entertainment six teen sonhomores had been imprisoned. When their classmates learned of this 300 of them stoned the Garden, forced an entrance and fought with the fresh men. It took the police reserves of two stations to part the combatants and end the pummeling.
 Clothing was torn and hats smashed, and many persons were bruised but the police would not make any arrests. The hall was considerably damager, chaiss being demolished and other appurte- nances made to suffer
 The diners at the garden were kept in a state of excitement while the fighting lasted
 The freshmen marched to the Garden with a big moving van in which were the sixteen sophomores, bound hand and foot and gagged Two hundred freshmen escorted the sophomores up to the dance hall, slid them across 1t on their backs and placed them in closet, shut the door and began their enter tainment.
 The sophomores had been on the watch and discovered where the enter tainment was to take place. They gain ed an entrance and a rush and fight followed. The dash of the 300 sopho- mores on 200 freshmen made the latter give way, but they did 1t bitterly. Af- ter the first onslaught noses were bleed- ing in every part of the hall
 The sophomores pushed their way to the closet where their comrades were locked up. The freshmen made another stand here but the sophomores unlock ed the doors and started to carry them | off.
 It was then the reserves came up.
 The freshmen finished their entertain. ment under police guard.

s1rUAr1oN AT PORT ARTHUR.
VIadivostok Hears Fortress Can Hold
 Out Three Months Longer.

St. Petersburg, Sept. So.-2:5O a. m.-- The absence of the emperor, who has gone to Odessa, is causing an even greater dearth of official news from the front than has been experi- eneed heretofore.
 Communication with Mukden has been practically suspended and St. Petersburg is therefore suffering anoth- CT period of anxiety and suspense at just the time when the intimation had been given that important developments are imminent between the armies of General Kuropatkin and Marshal Oya- ma. Port Arthur is more isolated than ever and the only news from that place comes by way of Vladivostok. It con- tains, however, the hopeful intimation that the garrison is confident of being able to hold out until the first of the year.
 It was reported last night that Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch's com mission as commander of the Manchu- rian armies has been made out, but the statement cannot be confirmed. The re- port was coupled with the revival of the story that Viceroy Alexieff will re- turn to St. Petersburg and become chancellor of the empire. The latter report is not credited in the best in formed circles, although it is admitted that the viceroy will probably return if Grand Duke Nicholas is sent to the Far East,
 The only position to which. he could succeed, in the opinion of those who be lieye that Alexieff still enjoys the em- peror's confidence, is that of chancellor.
 The cruiser Oleg, which was prepar- ing for sea at Cronstadt, broke her cylinder while making her trial trip, and probably six weeks will be require ed to make the necessary repairs. The other ships of the Baltic squadron are still engaged in target practice at the fleet manoeuvres at Reval.
 MT. Berg, representing Charles R. Flint & Co, of New York, is here, 1t is reported, in connection with business with the admiralty.
 News has been received here from Muk- den to the effect that the Japanese have at last assumed the offensive. They have captured Da pass and are pressing on General Kuropatkin's left flank.

Report of Tug Just Arrived From
 Alaska.

Bellingham, Wash, Sept. 29.-Mem- bers of the crew of the Pacific Packing and Navigation company's tug c, c. Cherry just arrived in port from Alas ka. report sighting a Russian gunboat.
 A heavy storm prevailed during the second day out from Nushaki, and in the evening the Captain of the Cherry decided it was best to tie up for the night rather than to run the risk of being beached in the uncertain wa ters. When Unimak pass was reached anchor was dropped. The Russian gum boat was anchored in the same pass, not half milet from the Cherry, and was plainly visible to the crew of the American vessel. The Russians seemed to take no notice of the boat. In the morning the anchor of the Cherry was lifted and she continued on her way, leaving the gunboat still in the pass.

 There continues dearth os news from the armies in the Far East. Re- ports from Russian. sources tell of ter rife ravages by disease in the Japanese armies. The Liao river is said to have been damned abreast of Liao Yang, in order that a flooded country may pro- tect the left flank of the Japanese army threatening Mukden. In St. Petersburg it seems to be the expectation that General Kurooatkin will not make a stubborn fight for the possession of Mukden. Vladivostok has heard that the Port Arthur garrison is confident of being able to hold out at least three months longer. Another stroke of i'll fortune has befallen the Russian navy in an accident to the cruiser Oleg, which was ordered to be ready about this time for sea with other ships of the Baltic squadron.
