Twas Simply Gossip.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA story was spread broadcast Monday night, which seemed to have it's origin in gossip at the Metropolitan club, in this city, that there were strong dissensions in the abinet on the Hawaiian situation. The rumor was definite as to the cabinet officers who were not in accord with the administration, and named Secretaries Hoke Smith and Morton. It stated that they had rendered their resignations at a past cabinet meeting or would do so at the next one. Secre- tary Morton was seen at the Portland and he gave an absolute denial to the rumor, stating that he had not re- signed and that he had never thought of doing so. It can be further said that Secretary Morton is in accord with the president on his Hawaiian policy and that Secretary Hoke Smith has not in any manner given public expression to a disagreement or given reason to suppose that he entertains opinions differing from those of the president on the matter.

THE MEMPHIS FIRE.
A Loss of S1oo. 900 and Probably Three
 Human Lives.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 1.-The re- port that a number of members of the Young Mems Christian Association were burned in Monday nights fire seems to be without foundation, except as to Thomas H. Bond. who can not be found It is thought that he perished in the flames. Joe Watkins, the col bred porter, lcaped from the third story of the building and was probably fatally injured. Secretary F.. A. Per kins. who jumped from the building and fractured his skull, will die Will Boardman jumped and fell across the telegraph wires, but when he struck the ground his ankle was fractured and his arm broken in two places. Will Boardman and c. R. White are seriously injured. The loss is SlO0.- poo, scattered among three firms and the Young Mems Christian association. All of those who escaped from the building unite in saying that there was an old prey-haired man in the Y. M. C. A. rooms when the alarm of fire was given. No one has seen him since, none saw him escape from the building and it is probable that he perished in the flames. He is thought to be some eountryman that came to Memphis to attend the Sam Jones revival.

Terrible Fate of n Negro Murderer Ne"r
 Warner, Lincoln County-Dragged from
 Jail by a lob of Coiored People, Suspend-
 ed to a Limb. Filled with Duilets ana

 derncath the Wretch.
 PINE BLUFF, Ark. Nov. l4.-Tremen- dous excitement reigns at Warner station on the Iron Mountain road 2o miles south of here. over the lynchlng, shooting and burning carly this morn inr of n negro named Nelson, who a week ago murdered another negro.
 A mob, consisting exclusively of col pred people. broke down the jail doors' hung Nelson to a convenient tree, rid dled his body with bullets and set fire to it.
 This morning fragments of the body were found dangling from the limb. It had been raining hard all night, and the moisture saved part of the body which was an almost unrecognizable mass of roasted flesh.
 The Terrible Story Confirmed.
 LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. 14.-Word reached here this morning of the horri- ble execution of a negro named D. T. Nelson at Warner last night, by mob composed entirely of negroes.
 Last week Nelson murdered Ben Betts, another negro. and since then he has been confined in the small jail at Warner, which is a little station on the Iron Mountain railroad. and in a sparsely-settled country. The friends of the murdered man gathered at the jail last night and breaking down the doors dragged the trembling wretch out into the rain and darkness. They tied rope about his neck and dragged him to tree, where he was quickly swung up. In the meantime the poor wretch yelled for mercy and proclaimed his innocence.
 The evidence against him was too strong. however, and the mob. turned deaf ear to his appeals. As soon as his body was fastened to the tree, the mob fired volley of bullets into the slowly-revolving figure. They then gathered quantity of wood and set fire to it. The flames quickly reached the suspended figure ani his clothing ignited and his flesh began to burn. The mob then withdrew after warning all concerned not to extinguish the flames.
 The heavy rain which was pouring down quenched the flames, and saved the body from incineration. Early this morning the body of Nelson was found lying in the jail yard with the clothing partly burned off. The au- thorities are trying to learn the identity of the mob. but with poor prospects of success

THROUGHOUT ARKANSAS.
A Description ot the State.

Gov. Fishback in darpers Weekly.
 We have in Arkansas one church So every 322 and one schoolhouse to every Y75 inhabitants. One college or semi- nary to every 9 ,O0O inhabitants.
 In no country in the world of equal population are the laws more generally enforced and obeyed.
 Our climate could hardly be improved. Our death rate, including even the swamp and overflowed districts, IS much smaller than our birth rate, nearly double that of most of the northern states.
 The negro population is confined to the alluvial districts mostly. l tray eled 300 miles in carriage last sum- mer in Arkansas, and did not see nall a dozen negroes on the entire route.
 Our fruits have taken the premiums all over the United States, and but the other day, am informed. the agricul- tural department at Washington re ported Arkansas sorghum to be the best in the United States.
 The census of 1880 shows the cash value per acre of our farm products ex- ceeds that of any other state except Louisiana.
 We have inexhaustible mineral re- sources, except the precious metals, and timber resources are enormous, and comprise thirty odd varieties ot commercial value. We have perhaps the most extensive and one of the finest marble fields in the Union. Our zine supplv is inexhaustible.
 Our fields of enterprise are all new, and many of them entirely unoccu- pied Fortune awaits energy and en- terprise in almost every department of life here.

The production for 1892 was 739. 300 tons, the decrease be- ing accounted for by the almost total suspension of mining operations during the spring and summer of 1893.

TAKEN TO TASK.

Rabbi Rubenstein of Little Rock. in l1t- ter to a daily paper has the following to say:
 His excellency Gov. Ffshhack used a cer- tain phrase in his Thanksgiving proclamation which lays him open, l think, to some crit- cism I hope he will not construe lntO iack of respect for him as governor if point out that the reference to a particular religion was out or place in such a proclamation issued un- der his official hand and seal He requests the people of Arkansas to observe a Thanksgiving day in acknowledgement of the goodness or God. and in obedience to a time e-honored custom, reason than which none can be greater lie adds however. as a further reason ''in duty to a Christian people" In my humble judgment in duty to a Christian people is no reason Tor issuing his Thanksgiving proclamation ana should have been omired Being one who mas sworn under the constitution to recognize all religious creeds alike in the state Gov. Fisn- back can not give such official indorsement Of Christianity without appearing ungracious to those of other creeds and without acting Tn manifest contradiction to the spirit of the laws he has sworn to maintain. President Cleye- land did not say that he issued his ThanksglV- ing proclamation in duty to Christian peo- pie He issued 1t in duty to all who trace the blessings of peace and prosperity to the mercy of Heaven, without regard to Christian. Jewish or any other creed. Among the blessings of Heaven one of the greatest surely is that the American constitution rec ogniZes no religion as national thereby 1nsur- ing forever within the territory of tho United States the complete liberty of the religious conscience. The founders of the republic never intended that the country or any integral part of it should be officially declared as Christian in point of religious belief His excellcncy, Gov. Fishback. therefore. was in error when, in the capacity of governor of Arkansas, he issued proclamation requesting the people all the people-of the state to observe day or thanksgiving to God" in duty to. or in the name of the Christian portion of them. as II Christianity were the only religion recognized and sanctioned by the nation and the state.
