FRANCES FORCE IN DAHoMEY.
Anxiety Concerning Its Safety Re

Anxiety ConcerninR Its Safety Re-
moved by a Dispatch.
PARIS, Oct. ia dispatch has been re-
ceiVed at the ministry Of marine that re-
moves whatever little anxiety was felt re-
garding the safety Of the French forces in
Dahoney. Col. Dodds, commander of the ex
pedition, telegraphs that the progress OF the
troops in the direction of Abomey, the cap-
itol Of Dahomey, has been delayed by heavy
rains. The French operations win therefore
necessarily be more difficult than when good
weather favored them.

A telegram to the government from Col.
Dodds, dated Oct. IT. says: "We continued
our forward march on Got 49, and having
turned the enemy's position occupied an
important point which they had recently
evacuated. The Dahomeyans after ward
attacked our bivouRc north Of the village OF
Kato. We defeated this attack and q series
of others, and finally inflicted a heavy loss
by taking the enemy between two crGss
fires. These battles occupied Oct. Ia and Is.
Our loss was Is killed, including / officer,
aud S5 wounded, including 10 officers. On
Oct. 10 we established bivouao west of

Track In Poor Condition and the
Air Too Raw for Record Breaking.
Other Events on the Turf.
NASHVILLE, TENN, Oct. 19.-Rain made
the track a trils heavy to-day and the air
was not favorable for record breaking.
Owing to the long programme it was nearly
O'Clock p. N. before Nancy Hanks ap-
pesred for her tilt against time and as the
sun had fallen behind the surrounding hills,
the atmosphere was raw and damp. Under
these conditions good judges placed 200 as
the best that could be expected, but oncs
more the little mare was equal TO her un.
expected performance. Going away at the
first attempt, the quarter was reached In
Sl15 seconds and the half mile pole In / 1sO2l<<.
Then for the first time Dobls
gave her free rein and covering
the third quarter In 0:3Ok. She was at the
pole in :3253. "She will beat the record %
shouted the crowd, but the heavy footing
and raw air began Co have the inevitable
effect and she finished the mile strong and
true In 2:O5. All things considered 1t was
the greatest performance of her career.
The 2:l9 stake race furnished the surprise
OF the day. Martha Wilkes was deemed
invincible, and before the start she sold ae
100 20 20 over the field. Retta was laid up
in the third heat and then the race went

ARKANSAS RACE WAR.
A Negro Uprising in Which the Blacks
Got the Worst of 1t.


Got the Worst of 1t.
PINE BLUFF, Ark, Sept. 20.-The
Associated Press correspondent received
the first reliable information tonight
from the scene OF the race war in CAL
houn county. 1t dates back six months,
when colored woman was whipped by
whitecaps for insulting white woman.
Trouble has been brewing ever since,
and the negroes have been recently or
ganizing with the alleged purpose of
killing all the whitecaps. The white
people learned of the movement and q
posse went in search of the
negroes. They met last Satur-
day and five of the negroes were
killed outright, and white man wound
ed. Jim Harrison, the leader of the ne
groes, was hanged. As nothing has been
heard from there today, it seems that
the matter has quieted down. The
trouble was hastened to crisis by rows
around election time, and one Unsill, a
white man, is charged by some with en-
couraging the negroes in their aggres-
sions.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept. 20.-A spe-
cial to the Gazette from Thornton, Ark
says negroes who were arrested in Cal
houn county made an affidavit that the
object of their organization was to kill
Sheriff Tomlinson, Clerk Means and sew
erai other citizens. A number of mem
bers of the organization are still in hid
ing. The negroes, according to the COR
respondent, openly assert that Unsill is
the cause Of the trouble.
