Russia Awaits Criticism.

St. Petersburg. July 1s.-The news
that the Russian volunteer steamers
Smolensk and St. Petersburg, now
cruising in the Red Sea, are stopping
ships of neutral nations and searching
them for contraband of war. is caus-
ing the liveliest- interest in all circles.
Russia has evidently weighed the
question believes herself to be within
her rights, and neither fears nor an
ticipates international trouble. Indeed.
some of the powers may have been
sounded by Russia on the subject. New
ertheless foreign opinion is awaited ca
gerly and more or less criticism is ex-
pected.
Members of the diplomatic corps are
keenly anxious to ascertain the views
their governments will take of the
passage through the Dardanelles of
these vessels of the volunteer feet as
merchantmen and their subsequent
conversion into ships of war. The gen
eral view in diplomatic circles, even
where sentiment is not particularly
friendly to Russia, is that, while the
passage Of the Dardanelles might be
considered a piece of sharp practice
on the part Of Russia, 1t is an accom-
plished fact. and the powers will not
now regard it as violation of the
treaty of Paris, but will guard against
its repetition.

Meat Riot in New York

New York, July ia fierce meat
riot occurred at Forty-fourth street
and First avenue this afternoon in
which 500 East Side kosher butchers
and striking employees of the big pack
ing house took part.
Just before the riot began some 200
kosher butchers, who at meeting last
night pledged themselves not to buy
any meat from the wholesale dealers
at the prices demanded. arrived at
Forty-fourth street and First avenue
to see what the prices were.
At the packing houses of Guggen-
helm & Co., Meyers Sons and II. Rod
man & Co., they were informed that
the wholesale price for carcass beef
was from ~ to 13 cents pound. All
but four of them refused to buy.
The four who persisted in buying
the meat were not molested until they
left Guggenheim's packing house. lug
ging the meat they had purchased.
AS soon as the butchers saw them a
great yell of anger went up and with
one accord they made for the four
men. In the van was a butcher who
has a store at 156 Allen street. He
knocked down the first of the four
men, then he reached another butcher.
Then, grabbing a side of beef from his
arms, he began to beat him on the
head with it. The others rushed in
and at the same time large number
of strikers who had been lettering in
the vicinity of the packing houses
Joined in the fight.
The fight became general. The four
men were lost sight of and everybody
struck out right and left. Men
sprawled in the street by the score.
At this juncture ten policemen
charged the mob with their night
sticks. which they used freely. The
mob swept down Forty-fourth stree,
to the river where finally the police
succeeded in dispensing the fighters
They did not go far, however, but
gathered about a block away from the
packing house. threatening violence.

Decision Affecting immigrants.

Washington, July 15.-Secretary
Metcalf of the Department Of Com
merce and Labor decided a rather nov
ell case to-day, involving the right of
an alien Mormon to enter the United
States. Mr.. Metcalf ordered that the
alien be permitted to land, holding
that the law bars those only who are
in and practice polygamy, while the
foreigner in question is Mormon but
is content with one marriage.
The case arose at the port OF New
York. The alien Mormon is an Eng
lish woman of more than ordinary In
telligence. The law of 1891 forbids
the landing of polygamists, but does
not go into a detailed description Of
what constitutes polygamy, and does
not define the belief that such acts as
bar against coming into this coun-
try.
Although the law has been on the
statute books for more than dozen
years, this is the first time the ques-
ton of its enforcement has come up.
The immigration authorities are scru-
tinizing aliens with fine-tooth comb
and the examiners singled out the
English woman as subject for in
vestigation before being released.

HARTMAN WINS A POINT.
Court Enjoins Jim Hill from Distrib-
utins Assets Of Northern seeuri-
ties Company.

Trenton, N. j., July 15.-Judge Brad
ford to-day granted a preliminary In
junction in the suit brought by Edward
H. Hartman, Winslow Speyer and 9TH
ers to restrain the proposed pro rata
distribution of the assets of the North
ern Securities Company. This is a
defeat for the Hill interests. The
opinion is fifty typewriter pages in
length.
The litigation turned largely on the
question as to the title of the North
ern Pacific stock which E. H. Harri-
man and Winslow Pierce put into the
combination. and which amounted to
about $79,O00,O00. The contention OF
the Northern Securities Company was
that the stock had become the abso-
lutte property of that company and that
it was perfectly legal for the Northern
Securities Company to carry out the
pro rata plan of distribution upon
which the company had agreed. Harri-
man contended that by reason of the
corporation being declared illegal by
the United States Supreme Court title
had not been passed from Hartman
and Pierce, and in consequence they
were entitled to have returned to them
the particular stock they had put into
the combination and which involved
control of the Northern Pacific Com

RAID GAMBLERS
EVANS RESORTS CLEANED OUT.
sheriffs Posse Captured a Quantity of
ParaphernaIia in Four Places.

Denver, July 16.-A special from
Greeley to the Republican says: Mar
shal Camp and five deputies raided
the gambling houses of Evans tonight,
confiscated the gambling parapherna-
liza and arrested Jack and Jim O'Grady.
NJ. P. Peltari, Joseph Judelowitz and
Mrs. Paul Henchell, the proprietors of
the gambling houses, on charge OF
violating the state ordinance govern
ing gambling.
The raid was planned quietly by the
marshal and no warning preceded him.
On arriving at Evans deputy was
placed in each of the five resorts to
take charge of the slot machines on
the lower floor. In short time $50
people. composed mostly of the rough
er element of the town, gathered about
the buildings.
Jack O'Grady, who runs the finest
saloon in the place, is a stalwart Irish
man, and he determined to resist the
removal of his property. Finding that
angry words and curses were OF no
avail, he attempted to draw gun on
the marshal. BY this time twenty or
thirty of the better citizens OF the
town had arrived and placed them
selves at the disposal of the marshal
to aid him in enforcing law and order.
O'Grady was persuaded to offer no
more resistance and gave up his gun.
Eighteen slot machines were taken
from the houses. Six of these be-
longed to Jack O'Grady and each of
the other houses was running three.
1t is reported that $4,000 are in these
machines, and 1t has been some time
since they were relieved of tneir con-
tents.
AS soon as the heavy machines were
placed on two heavy drays sent from
Greeley the deputies were put in
charge of the upper rooms to remove
from them all gambling contrivances.
While in one OF the upper rooms Ell
mer Waters, one of the deputies. was
struck over the head and pummeled
by several habitues Of the place.
Waters attempted to defend himself
with a chair. but was knocked to the
floor. his face bruised and cut, and his
nose broken. He was taken home and
placed under the care of surgeon.
After the belongings of the gambling
rooms were loaded on the drays the
gangs around the saloons ordered the
drivers down from their seats and un-
hitched the horses from the wagons.
The marshal and his men then told
the crowd what it might expect II 1t
offered further resistance. The horses
were harnessed again and the big
wagons started for Greeley.
In the meantime word reached
Greeley that Marshal Camp was hav-
ing trouble and an armed force start
ed for his assistance. 1t met the mar
shall and his plunder one mile from
town and escorted him home. On ar
irving here at 10 O'Clock the company
was met by 200 people.
