resolution (which was referred to the
committee on judiciary proposing an
appointment to the constitution for the
election Of United Stltes senator's by a
direct vote OF the people.
Sherman asked for immediate action

tive officers were now embarrassed from
the fact hat duties were being levied in
violation of the treaty. and that fact was
disturbing very seriously the condition of
American affairs in the Islands After
some discussion Sherman said hat in the

the bill now, but would ask the mate to
consider it at the very earliest moment

SCAB MINERS SHOT
Four Men Killed and Five
Others Wounded.
Both Sides Getting Ready for
a Bloody Conflict.
Two Females who Think They
Can Fight.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb -Four ne
gIoes were shot dead and five others
severely wounded, three Of them per,
haps fatally, at Carbon Hill mines. in
Walker county. fifty miles west Of this
city, last night The only offense of the
dead and wounded negroes. 50 far as is
known, that Observation-Disclosures of
white miners during the strike. aud when
the strke'was settled the company would
not discharge them. The nine negroes
were surrounded while asleep 10 their
cabin. aud shot down like wild beasts be
foie they had an opportunity t. attempt
escape or resistance. White miners are
suspected Of the crime, but there seems
to be no evidence against any one, as up
to last counts no arrests had been made.
The wounded negroes say the men who
shot them down we're white, but they
were unable to identify any of them. 1t
is believed another bloody conflict will oc-
cur between white aud .colored miners 10.
night or tomorrow. Repeating rifles aud
cartridges in large numbers have been
ordered by both sides.
1t Is reported that the officers of the
company operating the mines have an
nounced that they will protect all colored
miners in their employ. This may pre-
vent further bloodsheG, but it is doubtful.
A very bloody and bitter feeling is said to
exist between the white miners and the
negroes who were put to work during the
strike. The shooting OF nine of their
number has raised the other colored men
to the fighting point. The men shot last
night all worked together and occupied
the same cabin at night. About mid
night their cabin was surrounded, doors
and windows broken open, and as they
leaped out of bed a storm of bullets
poured in upon them. None ofthe negroes
were armed and they were shot down in
side OF their cabin. As soon as they had
all fallen to the floor the asssssins ceased
firing and looked in to see il their bloody
work was complete. The wounded men
lay still, sud doubtless believing that all
were dead, the mob went away.
The men killed were VIM. Denmore,
John Williamson, Ned johnson and Frank
Moore. The names OF the wounded have
not been obtained. The only evidence
tending to identity the perpetrators of the
outrage ia the statement of some negroes,
who are not employed in the mines, to the
effect that they heard some white strikers
say Yesterday that they would clean out
one cabin last night. The officers of the
mining company are having the affair in
vestieated, ard will do all in their power
to have the guilty parties brought to JUS
tice.
Reports from Carbon Hill tonight arc
TO the effect that a very uneasy feeling
prevails there, and a serious race war is
feared as a result of the butchery last
night. Whites and blacks are armed, and
the slightest disturbance would precipitate
a serious outbreak.

a check should be banked with a
reasonable diligence after it comes into

arc sometimes very careless about this

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Jan Mrs.
Nellie Burdick, a cook ina restaurant in
this city, was found burned to death in
bed at No. 2ll State street this morning.
She retired shortly after 10 O'Clock last
