A REIGN OF TERROR.
NEGROES ORDERED TO LEAVE BLACK
ROCK.

Lawless Character Organize and Threaten
to Burn the Buildings In which the Col
ored People Reside--Factories Guarded
and the streets OF the Town Patroied by
Armed Men.
LITTLE Rock, Jan. 17.-Governor
Fishback has received information OF
q reign Of terror which exists among
the colored population of the town OF
Black Rock. According to the gov
ernor's information very serious con-
dition of affairs exists there which may
result in bloodshed.
Black Rock is the center of a large
manufacturing and lumber district and
owing to the present financial strin-
gency a large number of men are
thrown out of employment. Among
them are many lawless characters who
have organized for the purpose of driv-
ing all the negroes out of town. They
have succeeded in the intimidation Of
many factory owners, 80 far that they
have discharged all of the negroes in
their employ in fear of the possible con-
sequences which might follow their re-
fusing to accede to the demands of the
White Caps.
On last Friday night the following
notice was posted in a public places
"All negroes must leave this town in
side of 10 days or take what follows,
and all who have houses rented to them
must fire them or we will fire the
houses inside of 10 DAYS. Negroes,
don't let this slip your mind"
This was followed by verbal and
written notices to the mill and factory
men that they must discharge every
negro in their employ or their property
would be burned. The mills and fac
tories are guarded, the streets are
patroled by men armed with Win
chesters.
The other side claims that they have
promise of outside help and serious
trouble seems imminent. The colored
population, which numbers about 300,
Is completely cowed. About one-third
of them have left. and most of the
others will go If the mill men should
follow, the advice of the White Caps.

Through the suez Canal.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 1.-THE orders
first given for the United States ship
Lancaster to return home from China
around the Cape of Good Hope have
been changed so as to allow her to come
through the Suez canal. Coal is much
cheaper along this route and it is so
much shorter that a much less number
of coalings will bring her home. The
pay of the crew also will be for a
shorter time. These economies will
compensate for the expense Of canal
tows and the journey home will be
about 80 days instead of 140.

The Hawaiian Question Debated In the
Senate Tuesday.


Senate Tuesday.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE Ha-
waiian controversy was again brought
to the attention of the senate Tuesday
and there was half hours spirited
discussion between Senator'S Hoar,
Gray and Daniels.
The presidents message commune
eating ike recent diplomatic cor
respondence afforded Senator Hoar an
opportunity to speak on the matter and
he showed by quoting from the Ha-
waiian constitution that the queen in
her recent protest that she could not
promise amnesty to the members of the
provisional government, was only con-
fining herself to the limitations OF con-
stitution, which does not confer on the
crown such absolute right of granting
amnesty, but requires that pardon can
be granted only by the concurrence of
the cabinet and other constitutional
officers. Senators Gray Oem., DELI
and Daniels Oem., Va.) made some
pertinent Interruptions and threw upon
Minister Stevens and his initiative ac-
tons all the responsibility for what
ever irregular methods of procedure
had necessarily grown out of the Ha-
waiian imbroglio.
The bill for the repeal of the federal
elections law coming up in the regular
order, Senator Palmor Dem, Ills.)
opened the discussion in an argument
In favor of the bill. At the conclusion
of his speech the senate adjourned.
Tariff Bill Made Little Progress.
WASHINGTON, Jan. livery little
ments to the tariff bill Tuesday. The
Republicans, under the leadership of
Mr.. Burrows, made another struggle
to secure the right to offer amendments
alternately with Mr.. Wilson, but the
chairman held, in view of the precedent
Of procedure when the Mckinley bill
was under consideration, that Mr.. Will
son. on behalf of the majority of the
committee, was entitled to perfect the
bill before it was thrown open to mis-
cellaneous amendments.
Several miLor amendments were
agreed to, the most important being
that to increase duty ON condensed
milk to cents pound.
Almost the entire afternoon was
spent in discussing the date upon
which free wool and the corresponding
reduction on wool should go into effect.
No conclusion was reached.
