RIOTS AT SAN JUAN.
City In Dark ness.-Two Killed by
 Mob of Strikers.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico. Aug. B. There were several riots here as the result of strike of teamsters. The police have maintained order with great difficulty. Mobs stoned police men in various parts of the city. The arc lights were destroyed and the city was left in darkness Serious riots oc- cured, in which two persons were killed and thirty wounded.
 The timely arrival of an officer of the Porto Rico regiment averted serious conflict between the police and the sol diers. The police had passed the guard line in attempting to disperse the mob and the soldiers had drawn their bayo- nets. There had been bad feeling be- tween the soldiers and the police.
 The situation is well in hand now, and re-enforcements of insular police are arriving from the interior. The majority of the dead and injured were not strikers.

sented him with set of resolutions adopt
ed by the Camp Fire Club of America elect
ing him an honorary member of the club.
The President was pleased to receive the
resolutions. The club has an existence for
the purpose of protecting as far as possible
the game and forests of the country.
Two of the new, members-elect of Con-
gress from Ohio called on the President to-
day. Both had no idea when nominated
that they would ever be in Congress, and
were immensely surprised when they
learned of their election. Grant Mouser
will succeed Representative Jackson, while
Mr.. Taylor will succeed Representative
Badger, democrat. Both are from what
are known as democratic districts of Ohio,
although Representative jackson is a re-
publican. Mr.. Jackson beat James A. Nor
ton. democrat, by the closest kind of a
vote two years ago. He regarded his cleo
ton as accidental, and was so sure that he
could not be elected again that he declined
another nomination, his business interests
preventing him giving his time to what APP
peared to be losing affair. The repub-
iicans nominated Grant Mouser, and he was
elected by good majority. The same was
true Of Mr.. Taylor.
