TIL. Arkansas Investigation.

LITTLE Rock, April 24.-The Clayton
breckenridge investigation committee ex-
amined about 75 witnesses to-day. nearly
all Of whom were negroes. The latter
testified that they cast straight republican
tickets containing the name Of John Clay
ton rs candidate for congress. The ma
jority Of negroes who testified were unable
To read and could not tell whether the
tickets shown them were the ones they
voted or not. They were positive, how
ever, OF having voted for Clayton. In a
they voted for breckenridge. In this
state a number is written on the ticket
corresponding 10 the number opposite the
name OF the voter i'm the poll books, SO
that II is very easy to ascertain the ticket
cast by each voter. In nearly all cases
where a negro unable To read had cast his
vote the ballot produced was strait demo-
cratic.

BISMARCK INTERVIEWED
Views Of the Veteran Statesman on
The SocialisHc Problem.
A Subject That VIII Cause Much
Trouble In the Future - His
3OpinIon on the Coming
Demonstration.

LONDON, April 25.-The Herald to-day
publishes an interesting interview with
Bismarck. The prince said II II was In
his power he would not interfere with the
workmeu on May day. Neither would he
display anxiety, which would only increase
the aggressiveness Of the agitators. The
antagonism between the employers and
the employed was natural law
and necessity. Human pro-
gress would cease should men ever be-
come satisfied. He dwelt upon the need
OF combating socialism, the victory OF
which, he said, would mean govern
ment by the least intelligent. He pre-
dicted that socialism would give a great
deal OF trouble yet. He said the man
who would yield TO the present manifes-
tation was a coward and il was some
times true benevolence to shed the blood
of the riotous minority in defense of the
law abiding majority. He declared that
May day was not dangerous enemy.
The naming of that day for an assault
need not be dreaded. II would be merely
a sham fight like that of the Salvation
army.
