Deplorable State of Affairs Existing I'm the
Northern District of Texas.


WAsHINGToN, Nov. 21.-Attorney-g general
Miller has received a long report from Mr.
Eugene Marshall, United States attorney
for the Northern district of Texas. in re-
gard to the difficulty of administering the
federal laws in that community, in conse-
quence of a feeling of hostility on the part
of certain State officials toward the federal
officers. According to the district attor-
ney, the trouble arose from the steps taken
by federal officers for the protection of the
four Marlowe brothers, who were held as
government witnesses in several pending
suits. A portion of the community became
exasperated at these men. he says, and
attempted to wreak summary ven-
geance upon them. They were con-
fined IN the jail at Graham, and. as
that building was not regarded as secure.
it was thought best to take them to safer
place. Guards were provided and they
started away from Graham. but had not
proceeded far when they were attacked by
amob and fierce fight ensued Two of
the Marlowes were killed Gt the first on
slaught. The other two wrested weapons
from their assailants, with which they am
putated the feet of their dead brothers. to
whom they were manacled. and then He'd
to neighboring farmhouse, where they
held the mob at bay until assistance ar
rived. Three of the mob were killed and q
number were wounded. Among those who
have since been indicted for completely in
this attack on government prisoners the
district attorney says. are two copstables,
the sheriff. q deputy sheriff. the county at
torney and a son of the county jndge.
In closing his report. the district attor-
ney says: The laws of the United States
contemplate that the State will provide
suitable Jail for the use OF the courts of the
United States. The State, acting through
its agency. the municipal government of
Young county, has failed 10 do this, but, on

White fought at 11s pounds, and Morgan
at 12s. The fight began. and prettier or
more scientific battle has never been wit
messed in America. White outfought his
man from the start and proved himself a
second Jack Dempsey. He was badly ad-
yised, however. and should have won IN
twenty rounds. but owing to his waiting
tactics the hight was prolonged to over
three hours. Morgan being terribly pun

THE CLAY COUNTY STRIKE.

Importing Colored Miners-Awaitiug the Re-
suit of To-Day's Mass-Meeting.
Bpecia, TO the Indianapolis Journal
BRAZIL. Ind, Nov. 2l.-The block-coal
operators have taken decided action in re-
gard to importing colored miners to sup
plant the strikers Some of the miners
arrived last night. Others are to come as
orders for coal come in. Just how many
colored miners have been engaged is uncer-
tain, but perhaps enough TO take the place
of all strikers yet out-four or i've hundred.
If the strikers, tomorrow, in their mass
meeting. decide to return to work at the
reduction, it will. no doubt. limit the i'm
portation very materially. The operators
are now independent of the strikers in the
matter of miners Heretofore they have
made no effort at importation. hoping that
the strikers would return TO work; but now
orders are coming in a little better, and
they desire to hold trade and secure more.
What the result of the mass-meeting to-
morrow will be cannot be foretold. but the
strike is likely TO be formally declared of.
Whatever the action of the executive COM
mittee may be- the number of miners re-
turning to work is increasing daily. More
miners are now. at work at the reduction
than are striking against it.
