THE NEGROES GRUMBI.E,
But Il Is Not Thought They Will
Attempt Revenge.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May "A rumor
was circulated in this city alta late hour
last night to the effect that large body
of armed negroes had assembled and
would shortly march to Goodlettsyille.
More than two hundred of the best citi-
zens OF that town armed themselves and
waited to resist any movement on the
part of the negroes.
While the negroes are doing a great
deal of grumbling among themselves
strictly not within hearing of white peo'
pie, as several were severely dubbed for
this offence on the day of the lynching
it is not believed that they have the
courage to attempt and open demonstra,
ton. Up to this hour it is not believed
that any have left this city for Good

WASHINGTON, May 2.-ln the senate
today numerous petitions were presented
against legislation for closing the
Worlds fair on Sunday. They came
from he states of Vermont, New Hamp-
shire, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Colorado,
Missouri and Arkansas, many of them
from religious bodies; also one from a
Methodist church in New Hampshire,
urgently protesting against further ad-
verse legislation against the Chinese.
In presenting petition for legislation
for the closing of the Worlds fair on
Sunday, Mr.. Vest described it as a ma
chine petition" 1t had been originally,
he said, addressed to two Ohio senator's
and il contained remarkable resolution,
plcdging sgncrs to refuse henceforth to
support for any office opposition of trust
any senator or member who should
vote for further aid of any kind for the
Worlds fair, except on the conditions
named in the memorial. Whatever
might be his vote he said, on the ques-
ton, he should certainly pay no atten.
| ton to that sort of resolution. He did
not hold the people who had sent him
the petition responsible for it. 1t has
obviously been prepared in the city Of
Washington as a sort of POLITICAL black
mail. If that sort OF practice were to
continue, and if he were expected to vote
for bill which he might believe uncon
stitutional he did not want to hold
office on any such conditions.
AS to closing the Worlds fair on Sun
day, that question was before the com
mittee of which he was a member, anC
was being considered very carefully. 4
much more serious question, however
was as to the expenditures that hat
been already made about the Columbian
exposition, among which he had noticed
that of the five millions contributed
by the city of Chicago 100000 had beer
expended for the location of the expOsi
ton in that city. He hoped that tn
committee which had lately visited Chi
cago had investigated that question, t.
see whether that expenditure was neces
sary, how it was expended, ard who 60
the money. He had expressed the opln
ion when the bill was first presented Il
the senate, that after expcnding five mil
lions, the city of Chicago would come t.
congress and say that it was nccessar.
for the honor of the entire country, tina
the exposition should be worthy OF tn
people of the United States.

Reed in the Fight.

WASHINGTON May 2.-During the past
week it has been made apparent to the
republican party managers in Washing.
ton that Thos. B. Reed has come to the
conclusion that there is a fair chance for
his friends to bring about his nomina-
ton. Mr.. Reed is shrewd man, and a
cold.blooded politician, and when he
goes into fight he does not do so as a
matter of sentiment, but because he has
made calculation that shows him to
have fair chance of winning. He is a
man of strong convictions, and he was
never in his life more earnest than he is
in the present determination to help kill
off Harrison.
