FLEET HAS GOOD INFLUENCE
ADMIRAL CHADWICK THUS IN
FORMS NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Tangier in Great Religious Excite
ment Due to Annual Moham-
medan Pilgrimages.

Washington, June 6.--Admiral Chad
wick Saturday cabled to the navy de-
partment that the presence of the Amer
lean feet at Tangier has had a salutary
influence, but that the community is
in state of great religious excitement
The cablegram also reported that the
Marietta, which was sent to Gibraltar for
stores, has rejoined the feet at Tan
gier; that an Italian man-of-war had ar
rived, and that an English warship was
expected to arrive at the Morocco port.
Admiral Chadwick's cablegram is I'M
derstood to be in reply to certain criti-
cisms, mainly from British sources, upon
the wisdom of sending American war
ships to Morocco at this juncture. The
British view is that the release of the
kidnapped men, Perdicaris and Marley,
can be more safely obtained by refrain
ing from adding to the antiforeign feeling
of the Moors, and that the government
therefore has so far sent to Moorish wa
tiers nothing more formidable in a naval
way than a small dispatch boat, the Sur
prise, and is relying entirely upon the
efforts of the British minister resi-
dent.
The religious excitement mentioned
as prevailing among the Moors is be-
lieved here to be incident primarily to
one of the annual Mohammedan pill
grimages occurring at this season. I'm
doubtedly, however, the presence of the
seven American warships at Tangier,
with promise of reinforcement, If
necessary, by the big battleship squad
ron, is regarded as threatening Moorish
integrity and the Mohammedan reli-
gion, and has contributed to the excite
ment.
Paris, June 6-The Temps says lit
understands the efforts to secure the
release of Ion Perdicaris from the bri-
gands have failed. Anxiety is felt lest
Rear Admiral Chadwick, commander of
the American squadron at Tangier,
will precipitate a crisis by adopting
stern measures.

lowing the uncolored product to escape
with tax of one-quarter of a cent a

not only that the law is constitutional,

artificially colored within the meaning

ANGRY RIOTERS
APPLY THE TORCH
SERIOUS DISTURBANCE NEAR
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS.
SUNDAY RIOT I'M ST. LOUIS
Spectators Enraged at Failure to See
Bull Fight, Set Fire to Build
ing-Show Is Preventel by
Governors Orders.

st. Louis, June 6.-IncenSed over their
failure to see genuine Spanish bull
fight" which the authorities had or
dered stopped, riot was started in an
arena near the worlds fair grounds
Sunday evening by a crowd of $500
and boys, who were unable to get their
money back, and the building was
burned to the ground. The price of ad-
mission charged was one dollar. Four
men were placed under arrest by the
authorities of st. Louis county, charged
with the destruction of the property.
The crowd, thinking these men were
connected with the show, made an at
tempt to mob them and in their en-
counter with the deputy sheriffs
number were roughly handled and
some received scalp wounds. The
building is said to have cost $4,000. 1t
is a total loss, with no insurance, it is
reported.
Stopped by the Governor.
The initial performance by the COM
pany of Spanish bull fighters had been
advertised widely for Sunday, but
Gov. Dockery, to whom numerous pro-
tests had been made by religious and
humane societies, ordered that 1t
should not be allowed to take place
Despite these orders a large crowd as
sembled in the arena at the advertised
time of opening. Before the regular
performance a number OF cowboys
drove in some bulls which they ran
around the arena in true wild west
style. The crowd soon became tired Of
this and called for the bull fight. The
announcement was then made that the
bull fight would be proceeded with. AS
thematadors came into the ring coun-
ty official stepped up to the announcer
and handed him paper informing him
that the proposed show could not take
place.
Crowd Vents It's Fury.
When this became known to the
crowd, they leaped into the arena and
demanded the return of their money
Failing to get this the crowd went to
the office, which was located in q small
building outside the arena, and began
to stone the structure. This was fol-
lowed by attempts to burn the arena,
which is an immense building con-
structed of pine. Bits of burning pa
per were thrown at the woodwork. and
finally some one went inside and
dropped a lighted match in pile of
hay under the arena. The whole struc-
ture was soon on fire and before long
was in ruins.
A call was made for the fire depart
ment, but the single engine that re-
sponded stuck in the mud and there
was nothing to stop the progress OF
the flames. The fire department of
the worlds fair was called out TO pro-
tect the exposition buildings, should 1t
become necessary, but as the wind blew
in another direction there was no dan
ger.
