LvNcHED BY SOLDIERS.
The Murder Of Private Miller
Avenged by His Comrades.

WALLA WALLA, Wash, April 25.-
lSpeciall-D. j. Hunt, the slayer of
Private Miller, Wednesday night, was
lynched last evening by soldiers from
the garrison, and fell in the courthouse
yard riddled with sixteen bullets. four
OF which entered his head. Early in the
evening Sheriff Mcfarland received in
telllgence that an attempt would be
made to lynch Hunt and, in company
with Prosecuting Attorney Bland ford,
repaired to the garrison and told Colonel
Compton what they feared, and asked
him to assist them.
THIS he promised to do by having
the check rolls called after taps. The
sheriff returned and engaged an extra
number Of guards. But all had not ar
rived when the crowd, probably seventy
soldiers, appeared and demanded that
the officers open the doors of the Jail.
when the demand was refused the SOL
dlerS began work on the doors with
immors ard chisels. Finding this
SLOW work they threatened the use of
dynamite.
Further resistance being useless the
doors were opened and thi' ty or forty
cooked revolvcrs were leveled at the
heads OF all inside and the keys to tho
oeiiS "erc ueinanueu. IheSe were given
them and when Hunts cell was shown
them they quickly took him out to the
courthouse yard and shot him. En-
citcment was int nse and q crowd of
2s,Ono people surgcd about the streets in
front Of the Jail until after midnight.
Immediately after the shooting the
soldiers went to their quarters and it
Will be difficult to identify those con-
cerned in the shooting, though many
were not masked.
The soldiers actually took possession
OF the town and would allow no one to
pass along the streets in the vicinity of
the Jail. They compelled merchants to
put out their lights.
Hunt, who was n gambler, met Miller
last wednesday night in q saloon. The
two began drinking and soon became in
VOWED in quarrel. Hunt drew his re-
revolver and fatally shot the soldier.

THE MINISTRY TO HAYTI

Hon. Fredrick Douglass, United
States Minister to Hayti, has OBJ
tanned a leave of absence and is now
returning home on q visit. 1t IS
Confidently asserted that he will
not return, because he does not find
the position congenial and that he
does not crave the honors which it
bestows. This may or may not be
true, but we believe that if he had
been accorded that courtesy and
distinction in this governments ne
gDtiations with the government Of
Hayti, and to which his position as
the accredited representative Of the
United States entitled him, he
would not now be coming home
with the intention OF resignIng his
post.
When Hon. Fredrick Douglass
received the appointment Of Minis
ter to Hayti, as representative OF
our race, many people believed
that it would have been better had
a Younger man been given the place,
lot because Mr.. Douglass was not
worthy and qualified for the posi-
ton, but because large and pro
gressive element Of our people be-
lieve that the future development
Of the Afro-American in this coun-
try depends upon the younger men
hnV
have been many honors heaped
npon q tew and while we rejoice
that such has been the case we be-
lieve it is time to give the younger
generation a chance. Nevertheless
after the appointment had been
made it was the duty Of the State
Department t. act through him in
its negotiations with Hayti But
this was not done. Secretary Blaine
seemed to take particular care that
in our governments negotiations tor
securing the Mole st. Nicholas as q
coaIing station, Fredrick Douglass
should cut very little Of a figure.
lie was ignored and the business
entrusted to Admiral Gherardi who
showed his superior ability % accom-
- -oiio - utterly falling "
lomacy Ne desired and now MI.
blaine will be under the necessity
Of making another effort in some
other direction. 1t may be that be
would have been more successful II
he had allowed Minister Douglass to
perform the diplomatic duties which
properly belonged to him. One
thing IS certain, Douglass could not
have done less. We hope if q sue
cessor is to be appointed to Minis
ter Douglass that he will be col
ored man and young one. W.
would also suggest that in our GOV
ernment business with Hayti, Mr.
Blaine bear in mind that the MAJ
appointed as Minister from thl
government, has some intelligence
and ability OF he would not p
there.

Peter acksOn Talks.
He FoUGHT TO WIN THE PURSE, AL
THOUGH DISABLED.

SAN Francisco, Cal-Peter Jack
son, on being interviewed, said that
he was surprised that several news
papers did not do him Justice in ret
erence to his battle with Jem Cor
bett. He fought to win the purse
and the many bets that had been
wagered. The reason he failed to
win was not because he did not pos
sess hitting powers and courage,
but because he only had one leg tlt
to stand on after ten rounds had
been fought. Jackson said after he
was thrown out of the wagon and
dislocated his ankle he would have
tried to postpone the contest to a
later date, but he supposed If his
leg was half we'll he could defeat
Corbett. Said Jackson: ~ am will
llng to fight Corbett again in any
club that will put up purse, but
Police Gazette rules which provide
for no draw must govern. Mark
nv words, Corbett will not dare
fight again, even with myself as- or
SIavin and the public nts Ga" +o aoain

To the women of the State of Ill
inois, Greeting,

To the women of the State of HI
inois, Greeting,
Dear Sisters: The
time has fully come for us to fall in
line and help push forward the
cause of our blessed Master. All
ready the work of organizing has
been started by few of our deter
mined leaders,. who with the help
of God purpose to go forward.
The work was commenced in De-
catur, October 14th, 1890, by or
ganizing a State body for our wo-
men, which appointed sister Julia
E. Terry, of Lebanon, II. AS gener-
al agent to organize local circles in
connection with each Baptist
Church in the State, assisted by the
pastors Of the various churches.
She is expected to visit all churches
and organize wherever it is possible
to do so. Over twenty organiza
tions are now in existence, with
membership of near five hundred.
We hope to have thousand added
to the list by the State meeting. To
do so, we must have the aid of all
willing workers. Remember dear
co-laborers you can do much for the
Master in this way, and what we
now want is united push in the
work and the end in view will be
reached.
The plan and object of our Gen
eral body isto collect and apply
means to home and foreign missions,
to assist with the education of our
young men for the ministry, en-
courage moral training among the
youths OF our land, and indoctrinate
them in the teaching Of the scrip
ture. We therefore appeal to all in
behalf of the work, to give it your
most serious attention and prayer
full aid. 1t is hoped you will be
fully prepared by our next meeting
to furnish us with means enough to
put all the machinery in operation
and let the world see We mean to
take it for Christ. Our aim will be
to furnish you from time to time
such information as is necessary,
and we solicit the correspondence
of those interested in the work.
