Serious Riot of Students.

VIENNA March 11.-Serious rioting be-
tween German and Czech students occurred
today in front of the university About TOO
Germans held an elevated approach to the
university and 200 Czechs stormed the po-
sition. Both factions were armed with
sticks, and the fighting ragged fiercely.
The Germans by sheer force of numbers
finally overpowered their assailants, whom
they pitched down the steps and over the
balustrades. Forty students were wounded.
The police had difficulty in restoring order.
Reports from Prague, Bohemia, say the
police stations there are filled with students
and other rioters. The ultimate proclama-
ton of martial law at Prague is threatened.

Traffic of Suez Canal Increased.

In spite of reduction of transporta ton
charges of 10 cents ton. says Consul Gen.
eral Guenther at Frankfort, Germany. In a
report to the Department of Commerce and
Labor. the receipts from the traffic OF the
Suez canal for the year 1903 are only lit
tie less than those of the previous year, so
that a further considerable increase of
traffic can be stated. The receipts were
$50 100. .O0e. or 10000 less than in 1902 II
the tolls had not been reduced the traffic
would have yielded a revenue of sci 500, 600
against $50 100000 in 1902 and not quite
so 00o0.000 In 1901. The consul states that
German vessels have largely contributed to
this increase in traffic. relatively more so
than the English.
