John II. Garrett Declares the Staying of
the Malta Was Government by the
People.
John B. Garrett made an address upon
the New Orleans lynching before the
Peace Society of the Philadelphia (Ortho-
doxl Yearly Meeting Monday. His adj
dress was that those desiring peace should
not be deceived by apparent peace, but
work on and not wait for war to quicken
their efforts. II was in New Orleans" he
said, during the recent massacre. The
night before its occurrence was informed
by one of the executive committee that
had met in secret that night that the
public will would be invited to take its
course.
'There was so much deliberation in the
preliminaries that could scarcely believe
my eyes when next morning | heard the
call for public meeting. Everything was
calm, but everyone's ears tingled with
strange sensation. On the day of the oc-
currence saw the people assembling from
my hotel porch, and then went to a re-
mote part of the city
"Upon my return, three hours later,
there was look of relief on every counte-
nance. In the street cars and on street
corners / heard men whisper. It's all
over | did not know what it meant until
three hours later the newsboys cried
Extra, with accounts of the lynching. /
don call it lynching. Lynching is when
man is executed without a trial. Here
there was trial and justice misoarried. 1t
then became the government of the people,
not of municipality.
after it was over quiet reigned. So
quiet had this city become within few
hours that we passed through square in
which two men had been hung and we
were not aware of it. That evening sew
eral of the ladies of our party went to a
s1f
of dread. / cite this to show that in this
country there are feelings so at variance
with our own that we can scarcely measure
the yastness of our work"

TROUBLE .4HEAD.
Portuguese Outrages Upon English Sub
jects in South Africa May Lead to Open
Rupture

Portuguese Outrages upon English sum
jects in South Africa May Lead TO Open
Rupture.
LONDON, April 2o.-Dispatches re-
ceived here from Durham, South Africa,
show that the Portuguese authorities
are taking high hand in Mashonaland.
The latest instance of their hostility to
the British interests in that district is
likely to cause a further tension in the
relations between the governments of
Great Britain and Portugal. There are a
number of British colonists who have set
tied in Mashonaland and mails destined
to them are carried by way of Beira, a
Portuguese settlement. A short time
ago, upon the arrival of the British
mail sacks at Beira, the Portuguese
authorities held them and refused to
allow them to be carried to their desti-
nation. Great Indignation on the part
of the British colonists has been aroused
by this high handed proceeding of the
Portuguese.
Further details regarding the firing
upon the British steamer Agnes, which
was engaged in conveying the expedi-
ton under the command of Colonel
Willoughby, and the seizure of the
cargo boats engaged in the same SER
vice, show that Colonel Willoughby en-
deavored to secure the release of his
vessels by paying the usual customs
duty of three per cent imposed by the
Portuguese. The officials who com
manded the force which seized the
boats refused to accept this payment
and ordering the British flag hauled
down, hoisted the Portuguese flag in
its place.
The Portuguese declare that the
British are excluded from the Pengive
river, which the boats were navigating
when seized and which is the chief
water route to Mashonaland. Several
of the British colonists have been i'm
prisoned, and most of the British set
tiers have been returned from Mashon
aland on account of the arbitrary action
of the Portuguese. There is every evi.
dence that serious rupture is impend
ing between the Portuguese and British
authorities.

TWO HUNDRED MINERS PERIL.
Imprisoned in the Mines for II Hours
Ennd Through a Small Hole.


LONDON, April 20.-A serious acct
dent, by which the lives of 200 miners
were imperilled, has taken place near
Longton Statfordshire. Two large cages
or cars, used for hoisting and lowering
men and materials In colliery in the
Longton coal district, and while one of
them was being hoisted and the other
was being lowered, they came into
violent collision and were smashed to
pieces. The result of this smash up
was that the shaft was badly damaged
and choked up with debris, thus cutting
off communication with 200 miners,
whom the accident imprisoned in the
mine below.
For IA hours the miners were shut up
in the mine. This was period of ter
rible suspense for their families and
friends, who crowded about the pit
mouth in state Of great agitation and
distress. Eventually small hole was
pierced through the mass of wreckage
and earth clogging the shaft, and it was
found possible to lower food by means
of rope to the miners imprisoned by
the accident in the shaft Further work
upon the passage through which the
food supplies were passed enabled the
men engaged in the work of rescue to
haul the 200 miners, one by one, out of
the mine.

restoring Two Navy Yards.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Under au-
thority conferred by Congress the Sec
rotary of the Navy is making arrange
ments to reopen the Boston and League
Island navy yards for constructive and
repair work. The docking of the cruiser
Newark at League Island Saturday was
the first work of any sort that has been
done at Philadelphia on a naval yes
sci under government auspices for six
years. The last vessel repaired
there was the U. S. s. 0ssipe when she
was locked preparatory to her voyage
to China. Bids have been opened for
the furnishing of tools for the Boston
and Philadelphia yards, but contracts
have not yet been awarded. Naval
constructor Mintonye has been ordered
TO report at Boston to superintend the
asselnblage of the. plant, and it may be
that some carpentering repairs can be
made on vessels this summer.

RUDlNl ON BLAINE'S PAPER.
Italy viii Not Admit the Irrespon-
slbuity of United States

For Act Committed by One of the States
--He Does Not Think There Will be
Serious Difficulties Between the Two
Governments.
ROME, April 16.-The Marquis di
Rudini, in the chamber of deputies to-
day, was questioned in regard to Mr..
Blaine's answer to the last communica-
ton the United States Secretary of
State had received from the Italian
premier on the subject of the New
Orleans lynchings. The marquis during
the course of his reply to the interro-
CATION said that Italy could not admit
the responsibility of the United States
in regard to the acts of the single states
of the Union. This was question, he
added, which interests every civilized
government as well as Italy. In con-
clusion the marquis said that he did not
fear political difficulties between Italy
and the United States, but it was a
matter of regret that so highly civilized
q country as the United States should
not fulfil the duties of morality. The
concluding remark of the MARQUIS di
Rudini was greeted with an outbreak of
general applause.
7 POLITICAL CIRCLES DISAPPOINTED.

WnIIace's Book be Purchased?
CHICAGO, April 20.-one of the great
est gathering Of breeders and owners of
trotting horses that ever convened in
this country will meet at the Hotel We'll
lington in this city next Wednesday to
decide whether the Wallace register
shall be superseded by new one
started, owned and controlled by the
breeders or whether they shall buy out
the publications now conducted by Wal
lace and put them under Management
of their own choosing.
The questions at issue are of such
profound interest to the breeders that it
Is expected that fully 25 states will be
represented in the convention and
scarcely breeder of any note will be
absent. The trotting horse breeders OF
Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Vermont, New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and the New Eng
land Trotting Horse Breeders Associa-
ton have met and elected delegates and
alternates so that it is quite evident that
the east will be fully represented. In
the west, California, Michigan and
Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri,
Tennessee, Iowa, Minnesota and Wis
consin and West Virginia, have also
elected their representatives To these
there must be added Connecticut in the
east and Kansas and Colorado and Ne
braska and the Northwestern Breeders
Association besides the members of the
executive committee of the National
Breeders Association who is eX-officio
will be able to represent their respective
states.
Regarding the controversy concern
ing a turf register John II. Wallace,
proprietor of the Register, said last
night: My price is not cent less than
100000. The register is five years
older than the National Breeders Asso-
citation. The register earns $17,797 in
the six months from October list, 1890,
to March list, 1891. That is nearly 36
per cent on the capital stock of 100000,
or IS per cent on my price, 5000, 900.
II the register is left in my hands shall
at once reduce the fee for registration
one half. My stronghold is in the mum
beers attached to the horses in it which
were assigned in my office and accen-
tuate my rights under the copyright
law. If another register is started the
registration fee will not be reduced
must, in that event, fight my opponents
in the courts out of the registers in
come. | own 81 per cent of the
register stock. The Kentucky influence,
which has always taken everything in
the trotting- horse line, is that which is
most pronounced against me.

CHIoAG0 oOCK RIoTs.
Non-union Sailors Driven OF Their Ships
and Cruelty Treated.

CHICAGO, April 21.-Harbor rioting for
the season of 1891 began yesterday. The
schooner Fay was lying in Central Ele-
vator Slip q, fitting out. a non-union crew
being on board. During the afternoon a
body of men, numbering fully So. made q
sudden raid on the vessel. Central Slip 9
is away down at the mouth of the harbor.
The police do not go there at all and the
attacking party had it all their own way.
The crew of the schooner were at work
aloft and on the booms. Without the
slightest warming the attacking party
boarded the vessel and the crew were
hustled down on the deck. Two of the
men made some resistance. but they were
quickly overcome, aud all of them were
thrown on the dock and driven away. In
his report of the matter to the police the
captain says: The greatest violence
and brutality was used toward the
men and they were driven off
without their bags and without
their pay. The reporter interviewed the
masters and crews of the steamers who
witnessed the raid, and asked il the attack
ing party were sailors. They could not
say, but could not see who else but sailors
would be interested in driving off this nom
union crew. The seamans know nothing
of the affair and thus the matter stands.
As the non-union crew took to their heels
as soon as allowed to go none of them
could be found by the reporter.
The seamans union, like all the other
organizations are very strongly organized
this spring all over the lakes The wages
for seamen are fixed at 81 per diem and
the mates and cooks must be members of
the union as well as the crews.
