fjOME EDITION VOLUME XIV. No. 151. APACHES FIRE ON BDY SCOOTS -r* One Was Seriously Wounded and Many Others Hurt —Old- est Lad Was 18 Years Old. Paris.—One was serlousiy wounded auJ many others hurt slightly in a battle here between a patrol of French Boy Scouts (Eclairuers) and a big gang of the ruffians called Apa ches. The Scouts were returning from a visit to the Bourget Memorial in honor of the soldiers who fell in the war of 1870. It was about eight in the evening and night had fallen. They were fifty strong marching along to music of bugles and drums. The youngest was 11 and the oldest 18 years old. A halt was called in a lane when suddenly a shower of stones was hurl ed at the boys by the /.paches fhom they had encountered in the march earlier in the day. The alert was sounded and tjie Boy Scouts rushed to the fray brandishing their staves. The desperadoes then fiered their re volvers at the boys and one a bugler, was wounded in the groin. Five of the lads hung on pluckily to the burly ruffian who seemed to be the leader and belabored him with their scout poles until he wrenched himself free and fled. Desperados. Half a dozen other desperados were overcome by sheer force of numbers but as the Apaches received rein forcements, the scout master deem ed it prudent to order a retreat. Meanwhile the gendarmerie, arrived to cover the Scouts who retired still under fire by the Apaches. The ruf fians finally fled before the police. A roll call of the Scouts was taken after the battle at the police station. Several scouts had bruised heads and cut faces but with the exception of the bugler, who was shot, there were no serious injuries. The trophies of war captured by the boys were a dozen caps, a ‘kun ckle-duster,’ a waistcoat, three red mufflers and two revolvers. It was a famous victory. Third of New Black Sea Dreadnaughts, Ekaterina 11, to Soon Be Launched Odessa The third of the new Black Sea Dreadnoughts, the Ekaterina 11, will be lauched at Nikolaieff on June E. The two Dreadnoughts previously launched are the Imperatrista Marie and the Alexander 111. A fourth and additional Dreadnought to be called the Ivan Gronzi, (Ivan the Terrible) will be laid down on the slip to be vacated by the Ekaterina 11. At least two years will elapse between the launching and commissioning of these new battle-cruisers. The destroyers and submarines in cluded in the Nikolaieff program are already completed; the program at the Bugport consists of four battle-cruis ers, six destroyers, two armored cruis ers, six submarines and a gigantic floating dock, which will probably be the largest in the world, and is being constructed to carry a vessel of 40,000 tons, at a cost of $2,000,000. The new dreadnoughts wdll be armed with 12 inch guns, and it is pointed out that the two warships acquired by Turkey, one by purchase from the Brazilian government, and the other completing at the Els wick ward of Armstrong, will be armed respectively with 13 inch and 15 inch guns. In the event therefore, of an armed collision between Russia and Turkey, the lat ter would have a decided superiority in the longer range of the guns of the two Dreadnoughts she will very short - tly possess. It is not Russia, but Greece, however, who for the moment is anxiously evereised at the immed iate prospect of Turkey's possession of those two formidable battle cruisers. Naturalization Bill and the Imperial Government London.—The Imperial Govern ment has found itself in a rather em barrassing position In connection with the naturalization bill. Under an agreement made at the last Colo nial conterence. the naturalization laws in the varoius parts of the em- I ire were to be so changed that a man naturalized 1n one of the Do minions should he recognized as a British subject either in the United Kingdom or the other Dominions. It was agreed that uniform laws on this point should be passed, but the Cana dians Australians and New Zealan ders insisted that a clause should be inserted which would enable them to exclude Asiatics or any undesirables, even though they had taken out nab uralization papers In some other part of the empire. In settlement of this point it was finally agreed that an alien mast have, as a consideration of natuaW,nation, "an adequate knowl edge of the English language." The Canadian and Australian par liaments have passed the bill with this clause, and the measure has al so passed the House of Lords and was awaiting consideration In the House of Commons, when the Jewish organization in London brought up a protest that the clause making “an adequate knowledge of the English language" necessary would operate to the prejudice of large bodies of de sirable Jews. Their request that this provision be left out was heeded by the Imperial Parliament, and the v/hole question of who should be ad mitted or refused, was left to the Home Olflce authorities. The clause stands, however, in the Canadian and Australian legislation, so the origi nal agreement for uniform laws ar p'-ar for the time w»«. m. least, to be defeated.
