people go tlere to play. One
night this week, a party went into
another bar and found some white
men playing st one table and a
crowd Of negroes at another. We

THE HExiCAh MISTAKE.

Statement of the Recent Encounter
Between American ana Mexican
Troops.
Washington, Feb. 5-Senor Romero,
Mexican minister at Washington, has
received from the governor of the state
of Chihuahua, Mexico. an official report
of the unfortunate encounter which the
Mexican forces had with United States
troops, commanded by Capt. Crawford,
at the mountains of Bayis, Chihuahua,
on the l1th ult. 1t is stated in the re-.
port that Mexican force, commanded
by Maj Maurice Corredor, arrived on
that day at place called Tlopar, in the
Sierra of Bavis, where they knew that
the Apache Indians who had revolted
under the leadership of Geronimo were.
The Mexicans fired on the United States
troops in the belief that they were
hostile. In the fight which ensued Maj.
Maurice Corredor, First Lieut. Juan de
LaCruz and privates Mariana Madid
and Luz Estrada, were killed, and four
other soldiers wounded; that as soon as
tie Mexican forces found out that they
were firing on United Stetes soldiers
they stopped firing and expressed to the
latter their regret at the losses occas-
ioned to both commands, The report
gives as On excuse for the above mistake
the difficulty OF distinguishing renegade
Indians from scouts, and says that
while the latter generally behaved them
selves when in their camp and under
view Of their officers, when they get out
under the pretext OF hunting or looking
for hostile Indians. or others, they some
times commit great depreciation or

to the general government not to allow

There is still much discussion In
Washington over the refusal of the prea-
ident to make public the charges
against suspended officials and gentle
man who stands very close to the presi-
dent has just expressed himself on the
subject as follows:
I do not think it ID fair to place all of
the blame for the refusal to furnish the
papers IN suspended cases on MIR. Oleye-
land. The democratic members of the
senate and house have been in terri
BILE etate OF anxiety ever since the
question was raised, and have actually
been on their knees at the white house.
praying the president not to disclose the
the facts. Many of them would be in q
bad way if the papers were sent to
the senate and the methods they have
used to get republicans out of Office were
published. Whenever they have come
here to get man removed, the presi-
dent has required them to file charges,
and some of the charges would, if
known, ereate decided sensation where
those against whom they were made are
known. One Ohio congressman, for
example, from the eastern portion of
the state, would be in dreadful box in
case one prominent suspended official
were to learn what he was suspended
for. The congressman owes him large
sum of money long since due, and the
making OF the note came very near to q
case of forgery. The suspended official
was generous enough not to give the af-
fair away, for he knew very well that it
would blight the prospects of the con-
gresham, who is not over popular
and was reelected by the
aid of the votes of republicans
who preferred him to the other demo-
crat because OF his activity in protecting
local interest to which his rival was
opposed. The man who holds the note
occupied an office of some prominence
and was suspended at the instance of
the congressman last summer, who made
charges rejecting upon his personal
character and official integrity. The
congressman has always claimed that he
had nothing to do with the Suspension
and his creditor believed him; but there
| are papers on file that would make O
very lively row if disclosed. This is
only one of many similar cases. have
argued that the president owes it te
himself to send in all the papers and lei
| those that have made the charges face
the odium; but you might as well ash
the capitol building to get up and 20 tx
the other end of Washington as to argue
with the president when his mind ii
fixed.

that the employer will refuse to arbitrate,

will be changed and a better one take its

TRIAL OF CHICAGO,s ANARCHISTS.
Further Continuation of the Proceedings
Testimony Against Liugg Regarding
HIS Bomb Making.

CHICAGO, July 81.
In the anarchist trial Wednesday, William
Seliger testified that Louis Lingg boarded
with him, and that the witness worked on
number of bombs and put them in order He
saw dynamite in Linggs room, and the latter
told him the bombs were fodder for capitalists
and that there was to be an agitation. He
wanted the bombs completed by Tuesday
night, as they were to be used that night.
Witness with Lingg carried the bombs from
the house in small trunk. They were all
loaded with dynamite and had caps to explode
them. They were carried to Nef1's Hall on
Clvbourn Avenue.
They took the trunk full of bombs into the
hallway where the trunk was opened. The
witness and several others helped themselves
to the bombs and put them in their pockets
Disturbances were to be created on the north
side that night, and it was arranged that dis
turbances should occur at various other
points to prevent the police from massing.
When the patrol wagon passed them Lingg
wanted to throw bombs into the wagon, but
witness persuaded him not to do so. Lingx
showed the witness a copy of the Arbetier
Zeitung, and pointed to the word "ruke,"
which he said meant there was to be a meet
ing and everything was to be turned upside
down.
The word "ruke" signifed for all armed
men to assemble on the west side. and meant
there was to be trouble. On the night of the
Haymarket trouble Lingg and the witness
reached home about midnight, and hid the
bombs under the sidewalk. The witness
identified a number of the implements used
by them in the manufacture of bombs.
Counsel for the prosecution held up piece
of gas pipe and asked the witness if that was
the way bomb looked when ready to be
fred off.
The court inquired if that bomb was load
ed, and the counsel replied that it was.
The court said this was no place for such
things, and ordered that The bombs be imme-
diately taken from the room.
The bombs were then taken to the LAKE
front to be destroyed.
The witness then gave further testimony
in regard to arming and drilling the soca-
lisiic groups, and named several persons who
were mpmbers OF these groups, including the
defendants.
The Witness was severely cross-examiaed
but his testimony was mistaken, and at one
o'clo * a recess was taken.
The crosse Examination of Seliger was re-
sumed after recess. His wife next took the
witness chair, and her testimony was the
most damaging Her cross-examination
closed the days proceedings.

HIS JUST DUES.
A Negro Killed in Jail for Assaulting a
Woman.

SANTE FE. July 81
A special from Luiing, Texas, says: Last
night this town was thrown into state of ex-
ctement by the advent of mob of masked
men, who, entering the town about | / o'clock
and overpowering the guard around the Jail,
entered, and literally riddled Porter SorreIl, a
negro about 20 years old, with bullets, killing
him instantly. Tuesday afternoon Sorrell
went to the residence of Robert Dukes. who
resides four OF five miles northwest of Luling,
and demanded of Mrs. Dukes money which
he claimed was due him. The lady referred
him to her husband who was at work in the
field. Sorrell became insolent and Mrs.
Dukes becoming alarmed took out a revolver
and commanded the negro to leave. He
stepped outside and taking up a hatchet re-
turned and again demanded his money. She
ordered him to leave, when be sprang upon
her, disabling her arm with a blow from the
hstchet, and wrestling the pistol from her
beat her over the head with it in frightful
manner. Some dogs, attracted by the noise
attacked the negro so viciously that he was
compelled to flee. A posse found him at his
mothers cabin and placed him in jail, where
his corpse now is. Mrs. Dukes is dying.
