Tacoma, May ia riot took place
between LOO striking longshoremen Of
Tacoma and eighteen strike breakers
nrought over from Seattle. BY the
steamship Centennial last night, in
which three men are supposed to have
been drowned and ten or twelve were
badly beaten.
The Centennial had taken on the
men at Seattle to have them in readi-
ness to load the vessel should there be
any labor troubles here. When the
vessel entered the harbor she pulled
alongside the Commercial dock coal
bunkers to take on fuel. fe
As the Centennial es sed up to the
wharf scores Of men armed with re-
volvers. slungshots, billies and clubs,
leaped from the wharf to her dock and
Immediately rushed the Seattle men,
who were unarmed. Capt. Pearce and
officers Of the vessel declare that thirty
shots were fired by the strikers and
they are surprised, they say, that q
dozen were not killed.
When the Hoting broke out q call
was made for the police, but it requir-
ed some time for. the patrol wagon
with six officers, to reach the bunkers.
Meantime the Seattle men had taken
refuge in various places about the YES
sci, some barricading themselves in
rooms where they could not be reach
ed. Others ran ashore and took to
their heels. At q. m. Capt. Pearce
had but seven out of the eighteen me,,
with which he left Seattle aboard the
vessel. IT
Officers of the Centennial are certain
that one man was drowned. The mate
and others saw him struck with q be-
laying pin and tumble over the side of
the vessel into the bay. Others say
that two more Of the Seattle contingent
went overheard in like manner. Ow-
ing to the absence of the eleven, it is
impossible to make q count or to ascer-
tain names. When the patrol wagon
arrived only thirty Of the strikers were
at the wharf and these ran.

HOCH DEFENSE RESTS
It Is Thought That Verdict Win Be
 Reached This Week.

Chicago. May 16.-The defense in the trial of Johann HOch charged with wife murder. rested its case today It is expected that a verdict will be reach ed on Saturday. To rebut the testimo- ny of Dr. Kolisher, the expert of the defense. in regard to symptoms of ar senical poisoning, Dr. Mover, Profess or De Lafontaine. Hactoon and w. $. Haines were called. All denied that the symptoms given by pr. Kolisher as necessary to death by arsenica1 pOis- oning need be present in the corpse of a. person who had died by poison ad- ministered short time before death.
 Tn analysing the evidence for the jury States Attorney Healey pictured Hocf as a cold blooded murdered. Attorney Healey dwelt on the sufferings of Mrs Walcker Hoch in her last moments and pictured HOch fiendishly watching and waiting for the end. Pointing an ac- cusing finger at the prisoner the states attorney denounced Hoch as a schem- ing murderer a fiend and a criminal of the lowest type.
 Hoch shifted uneasily at the scath- ing words of the prosecuting attorney and continually shook his head as though to deny the accusation.

THE OCEAN YACHT RACE
Fog Made 1t Necessary to Postpone

New York, May 16.-Eight Of the eleven yachts which had been entered for a 5000 mile race. across the Allan tic Ocean for the $5,OOO cup. offered by the German emperor lay snugiy at an chor within the shelter of Sandy Hook tonight. until the start of the race had been postponed until noon tomorrow because of the fog. A dense blanket of mist hung all day over the Hook and the sea outside. where the start
 was to have been made, and at night fall there was nothing to indicate clear
 CT weather tomorrow.
 The smallest yacht in the fleet, the American schooner Fleuer de Lis, owned by Dr. Lewis A. StiInson of the New York Yacht club. was run down
 by scow in tow while the yacht was at anchor in the Lower Bay before daylight today. She was towed into. Erie Basin and the damage was re-
 paired. Dr- Stilnson announced that ; he would be ready to start in the race tomorrow. The start of the race had
 been set for ?: 15 p. m. but at that hour only six Of the yachts lay at shore t;sh ship Valhalla and the American schooners Eutowana, Atlantic. Thistle, Hildegarde and EndymiOn. The Sun

TWIN INVESTIGATIONS
A Statement Before the Senate Com mittee Relative to Exclusive Con- tracts for Transportation of Fruit. The Grand Jury Searching Out.

Washington. May 16.-Before the senate committee on interstate com merce Investigating railroad rates. President Geo. R. Robbins of the Ar mour car lines company today admitted that the company had twenty or thirty exclusive contracts with railroads for fruit transportation business and acknowledged a monopoly of that traf- fic in parts Of the west and south. Wherever these exclusive contracts applied, hs admitted that producers and shippers of fruit had to accept the rates laid down by the Armours. He claimed that his company was a Dri- vate one and therefore not subjecteto interstate commerce laws
 MT. Robbins. who was the star wit ness of the day and appeared to con tniue his testimony of yesterday was closel.. examined by the committee re- sarlmg the operation of the Armour interests These exclusive contracts with the railroads. he said, were gener- ally private contracts. though exhibit ed when requested. He asserted thas the Armours do not get any advant- o-Co oNGi l--e bdGkEES ln these cars Replying to Chairman EIkins. the wifi ness snGd that his company did nos want to he subject to interstate com merce laws.
 NIT. Robbins denied that the Ar mouTs were interested in any Of the frIdt companies in California. or that the Armours had a mOnoDOy for the. transportation of California fruit acknowledging, however. that his com pany has a monopoly of fruit transpor- tation in the Pere Marquette region and in Georgia and Florida The Ar moUrs be admitted, had exclusive con tracts with all the south Atlantic coast railroads. exclusive contracts in east Tenne ssee and on certain roads in Mis- sourI and Arkansas on the Southern Paeifi. road.
 The Santa Fe was a competing line in thetsrtii business in California. Fruit producers and shippers on these sx- elusive lines had to accept the rates ! of the Armour company. but MT Rob bins said that satisfied eighty per cent of the shippers.

Russians Have Ready to Send to the Far East
1T WILL TURN HE SCALE
In Case RojestvensHy and Togo Find Themselves Equally Crippled After the Coming Titanic Engagement. The Supposed Salvation of Russia.

St. Petersburg, May 16.-The naval game in the far east is watched with intense interest but the admiralty is able to throw little light on the situa~ tion. It gives no confirmation of the To- ldO report that Admiral Rojestvensl1y returned to Hong Kohe bay. The Rus si;tn admiral is keeping his movements ard plans secret, not communicating even with the home authorities.
 Elary wild reports emanating from olIio are attributed to the agitated state of mind of the Japanese over the result O: the coming battle. The story that sailors from the crews of the in termed Russian ships at Shanghai are being sent to complete a comple- nsnt of Rojestvensky's fleet is non sense as is the previous story that a large number of mercenaries were shipped at Madagascar.
 The admiralty considers that there is no harm now in divulging the fact that EoJestvensSy's ships are Overmanned instead Of undermanned as when they left Libau there was still hope that the Chilean and Argentine warships could be purchased and portions of the crews designed for them were carried on board the Russian fleet.
 Many naval men incline to the opin- ion that Rojestvensky will pass out of the China sea into the Pacific through Ballintang Channel north of the Island of Luzon, Phillipine Islands, and give Formosa 9 wide berth instead of sail ing through the 200 mile stretch of straits Of FOrmosa tn which the Rus sians might be subject to a torpedo at tack.
 Another division of reinforcements for Rojestvensky is almost ready at Cronstadt and will be sent out under command of Rear Admiral Parenago. It will consist of two fine new battle ships. the Slava and Emperor Alex ander II, two cruisers, a torpedo crui- ser gunboat, a transport and several minor units. he division is now en- gagged in speed trials and maneuevFing off Cronstadt. The appearance of this reserve division in the far east in course of the summer should the hostile fleets suffer equally in the coming battle is counted on to give Russia the neces- sary decisive preponderance on the sea The possession of this division, naval men believe. may eventually prove Russia's salvation.
