In a battle lasting all day the sheriffs
of four northern Nebraska counties cap
tured the three Herring brothers, des-
peradoes and alleged bank robbers, cfter
wounding two of the kerrings and hay-
ing one of the posse badly hurt. The
Kerrings had taken refuge in fortified
stone house on the edge of the Sioux
reservation and from this point Of van
tage held off the officers with rifles. For
the last two years numerous bank rob
berries and other thefts have occurred in
northern Nebraska. All efforts to cap
ture the three thieves were unavailing.
Two weeks ago the bank at Naper was
dynamited and every cent of cash se-
cured. Suspicion pointed TO the Ker-
rings. Posses were formed which in
cluded sheriffs from four counties and
search was made for the suspected per
sens. IL was discovered that the Ker-
rings lad left their own homes and had
taken refuge in stone house which they
had built for the purpose. At daylight
the place was surrounded and demand
for surrender was made to one of the
Kerrings who was on guard, He an
swered with shot from rifle and his
brothers within the house joined in the
shooting. which became general. One Of
the denGties was wounded early IN the
fight. After dark the deputies ceased
firing for several hours, when the I<er-
rings, surprising they had Withdrawn,
made dash and attempted to escape. In
the fight which followed two OF them
were badly wounded and the third sur
rendered.

Attack on Port Arthur.

AttaGh on FORT Arthur
Vicsroy -Alexieff reports that two Jap
anese torpedo boats and eight fireahips
were sunk by the Russian squadron
while they we're attempting to block the
harbor entrance. E'ew details are given,
but i is said that Vice Admiral Togo
made another desperate effort to bottle
up Port Arthur and that section of the
Russian feet was sent out by Alexietf to
meet the japanese fleet, which consisted
of a number of fireships conveyed by two
torpedo boats. All were sunk by the
Russ.c torpedo boats and the FIRE from
the land batteries, leaving the channel
clear. The Russians succeeded in saw
ing a few members OF the crews of the
fire ships, including two officers.
The fire ships We're discovered, by
means of the searchlights of the bat
teries and guard ships, creeping toward
Port Arthur from the east and southeas;
shortly after midnight. The torpedo
boats and torpedo-boat destroyers We're
ordered out. but none of the larger war
ships. Admiral Alexeff himself went
out on board the coast defense vessel
Otvashni. The guard ships at tile en-
trance of the harbor and the forts opened
a fierce FIRE on the fire boats, which last
ed until o'clock in the m, ming, when
the last fire ship went down.
The official report does not specify the
exact spot where the steamers were
sunk. but it is plain that japanese at

were armed with Hotchkiss and Maxim
guns and responded hotly to the Russian

TALKS ON CHICAGO RIOTS
Cleveland Defends His Action in Sends
ing Troops in 1894.

Former President Grover Cleveland
delivered a lecture at Princeton, n. j.,
the other day, in which he Congratulate
ed" himself-to use his own words-on
his course in sending federal troops to
Chicago to suppress the riots during the
great railroad strike Of 1894, and read
the correspondence wherein he severely
criticised the late Gov. John r. Altgeld
for his resentment of federal interior
ence.
Mr. Cleveland's address was the first
of the Henry Stafford Little Lectures
on Public Affairs" q series founded by
his personal friend, Mr.. Little prince
ton 40, who died about week ago.
1t was Mr.. Cleveland's first lecture in
two years.
Mr.. Cleveland's condemnation OF the
dead Illinois executive was unequivocal.
He said:
This official not only refused to re-
gard the riotous disturbances within the
borders of his State as a sufficient cause
for an application to the federal govern
ment for its protection against domestic
violence under the mandate of the con-
stitution, but actually protested against
the presence of federal troops sent into
the State upon the general governments
initiative aud for the purpose of defend
ing itself in the clearly defined exercise
of its legitimate functions"
The correspondence Lhat followed was
illuminative of the whole question of
State rights aud federal supremacy, con-
Guiding with this dispatch from Mr..
Cleveland:
while I am still persuaded that /
have neither Transcribed my authority
nor duty in the emergency that confronts
US, it seems to me that in this hour Of
danger and distress discussion may well
give way to active efforts on the part of
all in authority to restore obedience to
the law and to protect life and prop
erty."
This" said Mr. Cleveland, CLOSED a
discussion which, in its net results. dem
onstrated how far ones disposition and
field Of argument"
Outlining his reasons for sending
troops to Chicago, Mr. Cleveland said:
Attorney General Olney, in his official
report. correctly stated the purpose and
design of this outbreak in these lords:
To compel a settlement Of disputes be-
tween the Pullman company and a por-
ton of its employees, nothing else was
meditated or aimed at than a complete
stoppage of all the railroad transporta-
tiCn Of the country, State and interstate,
and freight as we'll as passenger.
Mr.. Cleveland then described the re-
peated bur Intellectual attempts by the
United States Court injunctions and the
use of deputy marshals to prevent riots
and the obstruction of commerce and
nails
