MOB WRECKS ARENA.
Crowd of 1000 Starts Wild Riot When
Police Prevent Bull Fight.


Instead Of Spanish bull fight Sunday
the arena OF the Norris Amusement
Company in ST Louis was the scene of
fierce riot, in which the grand stand,
seating $4,000 persons, was burned, the
office buildings demolished and several
persons hurt
More than 1000 persons were in the
great amphitheater awaiting the entry OF
the bull when Deputy Sheriff Ossenfort,
Of st. Louis County, appeared. He spoke
to Ring Manager II. a. Colledge, who
expostulated a moment and then turned
toward the grand stand There will
be no performance to-day" he shouted.
THE authorities have interfered.
For a moment there was hush. Then
q human avalanche swept over the rail
Of the amphitheater into the tanbark
arena. Manager Norris and his wife fled
to the office building where three deputy
sheriffs and eight officers from the Gold
en- Chain Humane Society were on
guard. The mob followed.
Give us back our money" they
clanored. And although Manager Nor
ris sought to explain he was driven from
the door by a storm Of stones. In a
few minutes the building was wrecked.
Doors were battered down, windows
were broken and even the sides OF the
house were crushed by heavy stones.
Under guard of the officers the manager
and his wife were escorted to a street
car and taken in safety to the city, al
though Mrs. Norris was cut on the face
by flying stone.
It's victims fled, the mob turned its at
tention to the amphitheater. Some one
set fire to a pile OF straw beneath the
big structure, which was built Of pine.
1t was dry as finder, and in a few min
utes was a roaring furnace. Employees
Of the amusement company by hard
work managed to save the horses and
the bulls that were to have-met death in
the ring. All the other property prac-
tically was destroyed.
SO iercely did the grand stand burn
that for a time it was feared the flames
would spread to the worlds fair grounds
adjoining. An emergency call was sent
to the city for fire apparatus. The single
engine that responded stuck in the mud
q half mile from the scene and could not
be released in time to be available. The
department of the exposition was called
out, but lucky change in the wind

ton buildings.
For two hours the mob ragged over the
ground, completing the work OF destruc-
ton. Police were hurried to the scene,
but they were powerless in the face of
the crowd, which had been increased by
hundreds from the worlds fair grounds
and the vicinity. Only four arrests were
made More would have been attempted
had the police not all they could do to
get the quartet of prisoners away. The
mob came to the rescue Of the prisoners
| and the progress of the patrol wagon
was blocked. Only by vigorous use of
their clubs were the officers able to make
way for it. Many were hurt in the me-
lee, and scores were taken by friends to
offices Of physicians near by, where their
| wounds were dressed.

FIRE IN SPIRITS KILLS.
Ten Die in Flames Started by Explosion
in Peoria Distillcry.

III Peoria DIStIllcry.
The explosion Of lantern carried by
a workman in the distillery Of Franklyn
Il. Corning & Co. in Peoria, ILL.,, started
a fire in which fourteen men were burn
ed to death and a property loss OF about
81 100000 was caused.
The Corning distilery was the second
largest establishment Of the kind in the
country. The property destroyed COM
prises a large warehouse, eleven stories
high, made largely Of corrugated iron, in
which was stored 10000 barrels Of high
proof spirits, the cistern and fermenting
departments, each in a threestory brick
building, and the cattle sheds, containing
5000 head of cattle, all of which were
burned to death. Only the cookers are
left, Of the entire plant.
The fire started in the warehouse.
Bursting barrels released q stream Of
ignited spirits, which quickly spread the
flames to oil parts of the immense struc-
ture and soon the explosion of thou
sands of casks FASTENED the destruction
Of lives and property, and made noise
that terrorzed all that part Of the city.
In short time the warehouse fell,
crushing the smaller buildings near 1t,
liberating a mass of burning debris. A
stream of blazing spirits was turned into
the cattle pens, turning them into
seething pool of flame, which quickly
killed the animals confined there. The
cattle were the property of Dodd & Kei-
fer, of Chicago, and T.. G. White q Co.,
of Peoria.
The fermenting houses were the next
to go followed by the cistern depart
ment, in which was $1,000 gallons Of
spirits This added fuel intensified the
heat and made it almost impossible for
firemen to get near enough to the build
ings to work effectively. A high wind
famed the flames toward the Monarch
distillery, and that was threat ned. ibis
made it necessary for the frenen to con-
fine their efforts almost entirely to Pre-
venting a spread of the fire. In spite
of them the flames were communicated
to the stock yards, block distant, but
the damage done there was slight.

SIEGE OF PORT ARTHUR.
Japanese Sure to Pay "A Tremendous
Price for City's Fail.

The earlier reports OF the battle OF
Kinchau and the storming Of the de-
lenses of Port Arthur were to the effect
that the Japanese had sustained the
appalling loss of 1900 men killed. The
Russian loss was not known, but was
supposed to be nearly as heavy.
The totals are still large, but it APP
pears that the Japanese loss is only
about one-fourth that originally report
ed, 5000 killed and wounded, while the
Russians left 400 dead on the field. The
Russian losses are doubtless not so heavy
as those of the japanese because they
were fighting behind trenches, while the
Japanese were the assaulting party.
The loss is heavy enough, however,
to suggest the desperate nature OF the
contest and establish the reputation OF
the Japanese soldier for GOODNESS and
courage under fire. In fact, the supe-
riority of the japanese over the Russian
soldier appears to be well demonstrated.
He not only overmatches the Russian In
courage, but he fights with greater intel
ligence, greater enthusiasm, and with
a reckless disregard of the value Of his
own life which makes him most dan

STATUS OF MRS. CHIN AS
WIFE OF AN AMERICAN
Chinese Woman Who Had Been Or

Son and Beats the Courts.

Whether woman take the civil and

the Chinese exclusion act will be de-
termined next Monday morning by the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
in the habeas corpus proceedings on
behalf of Mrs. Chin King Sung, for
merly Miss Wooey Ho, a Chinese
woman. Three years ago she applied
for admission into the United States
but the Chinese Bureau decided that
she was not admissible. Then she
came before the United States District
Court on habeas corpus, alleging that
she was a native of the United States.
Judge de Haven was not convinced of
the truth of the claim and ordered her
deported to China. Then she went be-
fore the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals and finally to the Supreme
Court of the United States and her
claims were rejected.
Since her last appeal was filed she
married Chin King Sung, who alleges
that he is native of this country and
that his wife is therefore entitled to
remain here with him.
There is every likelihood that the
woman will be permitted to remain.
