zie Yates, the five-year-ol victim of an
assault by Joe Coe, disreputable negro,
had died. Coe was confined in the city
Jail. @We'll lynch the Niger" was soon
heard on every SIDE There came a con-
fused sound of tramping feet hurrying
along the paved street toward the county
sail, and iu a remarkably short time the
jail was surrounded. There was no organ
ization apparent. No leader seemed to
control the crowd. The entire police
force of ninety men were carried away
bodily, fremen with lines of hose were
hustled off the scene, and desperate men
tore up street-car rails to use as gathering
rams upon the formidable steel gates and
doors within. The covering victim was
taken out, and in a twinkling was strung
up to an electric trolley wire. The mob
then dispersed, and it became known that

Business Improving, Though Prices Are
Low and Collections Slow.
r. G. Dun & Co. IS weekly review of trade
says:
From all parts of the West and South come
advices that business is gradually improv-
ing, and the improvement is felt in Eastern
centers. There is still a most encour-
aging absence in any trade of that
speculative excitement and over-co
fdence which is so often presage
of disaster Purchases are governed by
unusual conservatism, and yet are large
in volume. Failures are rather numerous.
but are in nearly all cases the results of
long continued commercial strain, since
the foreign disaster Of last November. 1t is
true that prices of nearly all products are
very low, and the margin for profit is very
narrow while competition is severe; but the
volume of trade is larger than in any
previous year, In spite Of the fact that some
branches of business are retarded. 1t is
also true that collections in some quarters
are slow, but the latest reports from vari-
Gus sections are on the whole more favor
able. The news regarding the chief indus
tries is decidedly favorable

The East Is Humbled.

Allerton is king. Fully 10000 people saw
the son of Jaybird wrest all claim to the
title from Nelson in the $40, 900 race between
the two stations on the fast Grand Rapids

from an ideal racing day. The sky
was overcast all the afternoon, and
once or twice fugitive raindrops found
their way to the ground. The weather was
miider than the previous day, butstill chilly
enough to preclude any hope of record

in 2:13, but Allerton took the next three
straight, in 2:141a, 1:15, and 2:1619.

lady Mayor, Mrs. Paxton, and have petit
toned her to resign. The business men,

THE GILLIAN IMBROGLIO.

The Junta Maintains Its Threatening
Attitude Toward Refugees at the Amer
lean Legation.
The CHILEAN Government has so far
evinced no intention of abandoning it's
position that it has perfect right 70
arrest persons as they enter or leave the
American Legation at Santiago. But
while strenuously insisting upon the
possession of this abstract right, the
Government is at present making no
attempt to put it in practice. The par
tisans of Balmaceda who took refuge
under Minister Egan's roof are still
there, and no arres ts have been made.
1t cannot be learned that the Govern
ment has in contemplation any plan for
asserting in the near future The right of
arrest that is claimed. But it is thought
that the present unsatisfactory situa-
ton cannot be of long continuance.
In accordance with instructions. Min
lister Egan has given the Junta to I'M
derstand that if the CHILEAN authorities
continue to maintain their present atti-
tude, the friendly relations between
Chill and the United States will be in
terruptad The Junta's reply to this
notice is awaited with great interest
What Minister Egan's next tap will be
in case the reply is unfavorable is not
known.
The United States flagship San Fran
cisco is expected to reach Valparaiso at

American Minister will ask the Gillian
Government to allow the refugees now
at the United States Legation to go on

from Gillian territory.
