STARTED WITH GLASS RUSH.
Police Had to Draw RevoIvers and

Students Are Arrested.

Su1CdSO, vi. 90. lHGulJ-uNe DO-
licemen and 200 students of the Chi
cago College of Dental Surgery, en-
gagged in fierce fight this afternoon,
and before order had been restored,
fifteen of the students had been ar
rested. At one point during the fight
the police were forced to fire shots
over the heads of the students to
scare them back.
The freshman and junior classes of
the institution met in their annual
class rush and the battle became so
desperate that riot call was sent in
to the two police stations in the vi
cinity. When the police arrived on
the scene the battle between the stu
dents had been in progress for half an
hour, and had blocked all the street
car and wagon traffic in nearby
streets. The students who were in
the thick of the fight joined forces as
soon as they saw the approach of the
patrol wagons, and the bluecoats were
pelted on all sides with stones and
vegetables, while water was poured
on them by students from the upper
floors of the college
After this state of affairs had been
going on for some time and the police
were getting decidedly the worst of
the battle, the bluecoats drew their
reyolvers and fired several shots. This
brought the students to their senses
and they ran in all directions, but the
police succeeded in making fifteen cap
lures.
All the students bore signs of the
number of them suffered severe cuts
about their heads and faces from the
punishment administered by the po-
lice
An investigation has been begun by
the faculty and the ringleaders of the
disturbance will be punished.
GERMANY AFFECTED.
Berlin, Oct 30-The conditions in
Russia are beginning to have mark
ed effect on the financial and COM
mercial life of Berlin. The grain mar
ket was wildly excited through the
interruption of arrivals from Russia
and the prices jumped up and down
spasmodically. The suspension of the
Russian freight movement is doing
special damage to German trade be-
cause of the unusually heavy stocks
of agricultural products which are
now due to arrive from Russia Ow-
ing to the near approach of the time
when the new commercial treaty be-
tween Russia and Germany goes into
effect, German merchants have been
buying for speculative purposes.
The news from Russia also affect
ed the bourse most adversely and Rus
sian bonds gave way to an extent
greater than that at Lao Yang and
Mukden.
The weakness spread to all depart
ments of the market and domestic
iron and coal shares suffered severe
ly, especially the shares of companies
dependent on Russian trade. Anoth-
er feature developed on the bourse
was the heavy speculative selling of
Russian exchange. 1t is explained
that these sales were made partly by
the holders of Russian securities as in
surance against depreciation.

Russian Editor Speaks Out

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. D.
President Roosevelt was today urged
to take action looking to the termina.
tMn of the Russo-Japanese war.
The request was made by the inter.
parliamentary union through the pres
ident Of the organization. Represen-
tative Bartholdt, of. Missouri. DR.
Bartholdt explained 10 the president
that the concensus Of opinion OF mem.
bers of the union and among Europe
an parliamentarians with whom he is
in correspondence was that the pres
ident of the United States was the
only man. with the possible exception
of the emperor of Germany who in.
dicated no disposition to bring the
war to an end. who might be listen
ed to on the subject with favor by
Russia. The president gave DR..
Barthoidt no definite assurances be-
yond promising to consider the mat
ter with Secretary Hay. 1t is known
TO be quite unlikely that this govern
ment will take any action looking to
mediation until some assurances
have been received from the other
parties 10 the pending conflict that
such action would not be unwelcome.
Big Battle Expected.

prevails here that the impending battle

try into slushy bog, and render the

There Is a strong probability that
the house may concur in all the
amendments Of the senate without
sending the bill to conference al.
though Senator Beveridge said tonight
that he believed the house would not
concur in9tbe amendment giving state.

by any action that might be taken.
There is high authority for the pre-
diction that the house will take the
same view of the matter as the ma.
Jority In the senate did today. and
concur in the action of the upper
chamber without much formality.
An amendment was offered by Sen

was the amendment to allow Oklaho.
