Twenty Killed. Masy Wounded
Rangoon, Juae 23 For several da ys
the Moslems have been prepranng to
celebrate a reliirioua festival today. This
morning they were forbidden by Mr
Fleming, the British magistrate, to sac
nhce a cow near tbe Hindoo temple
Mr Fleming had threatened yesterday
to issue this order, aod the Mohammed
8D8 were greatly ex"ted before the hour
lor the sacrifice When the police ap
peared near the tern le wrh the an
nouncement the Mohammedans litgnn
onmg'bem. 1 be police charged with
out firing, but tbe Mohnmmedaorj he d
their ground stubltorn'y and fouuht btck
with sticks and stODes. Mr Ulemtng,
wbo bad gone to the spot as soon as
rouble became imminent, aud several
po Icemen, were wounded Tbe police
withdrew, obtained reinforcements and
charged again, but without effect. Mr.
Fleming then ordered tbem to fire. The
oiley was delivered a close quarters.
Tventy Mohammedans fell dead and
man? more were severels wounded. As
the Mohammedans still refused to dis
perse the military were called out Fur
companies charged on the ilou'ile quick
with Sx d bayonets Tbe Mohammed
ans dispersed slowly, still nghtmg. al
though many of them had been wouuded
in the charge of the troops. They gatb
er- d again, however, in a s'reet a short
stance from the temple. Tbey were
hardly difpetstd before they reas-embied
in another s'reet. A desultory figot be
ween them and the troops has been in
progress all the afternoon Al' tbe mili
tary are occupied. in clearing the streets.
Mmy Mohammedaos and Hindoos have
been killed and scores have been
wounded. evertheless thev show no
signs of Yielding, but as fast as they are
diiven from ooe district tbey gather
again in another. The regulars are re
(forded as unequal to tbe work of sub

called upon to do duty io the streets. -
Ke&u t of the Bye-Elections.
Berlin June 24 Tbe progie.-s of to
day's bye-electi-ms appiars to support
tbe government calcu.a'ion that the re
balloting.wiil give it 69 seats. Tbe gov
ernment aid thus have in tbe new rtich
stag 199 votes out of 397. A bare ma
jority of one vote is not much to rejoice
over, yet the government organs express
content witn the resnlt of the voting. Io
Berlin tbe second dirt ict today tbe
united sireogtb of the three parties was
not sufficient to defeat Herr Fischer,' the
candidate ot tbe tocial Democrats, in
tbe second Berlin district, Dr. Lenger
baus, Kicbterist, scored tbe first success
yet credited to tbat party or taction
The speech of tbe Emperor William at
the opening tension of tbe reichstag is
awaited with mucb aoxiety, as tbe report
widens that his language ' will menace
tho restriction of suffrage. Io an inter
view today a prominent minister said
the government neither anticipated fur'
tber dissolution of tbe reichstag nor any
encroachment on tbe suffrage Chan
cellor -von Capri vi, Dr. Miguei, Dr. Ste
phaD and other political notables voted
for Leogerhaus today. With this de-
cisivti example before tnem ot the min
isters actually supporting an opponent
ot tbe bin rather than allow tbe socialists
to triumph, adhesion by the electors to
the government candidates, where tbey
were opposed by tbe socialists, has be
come secured. Herr Richter will prob
ably be retired lr-ni tbe leadership of
the Freisinmoge party. Tbe organs de
mand bis resignation, as they bold him
responsible for tbe extinction, of tbe
party.

The Spokane Review is authority for the

opening to the mine is close to tbe track

ir'is furthermore claimed, is equal to tbe

from these Saturday missionary tours with

These deduction were caused by jHr, Phil
lips appearing yesterday at the door of a
bouse where a reporter of thi paper re
sides witb a mess of trout, one of which
measured twelve inches in length, and the
phosphorescent expansion of tbe cellular
tissue of the gray matter of the brain con
