NO NEED OF A VESSEL.
Time for Hawaii to Establish Her stand
ing Among Nations.

SAN Francisco, September 10.-Rear-
Admiral Beardslee, who has recently sue
ceeded to command of the Pacific station,
expects to remain in California for two
months until his flagship, the Philadel-
phia, is again ready for sea. 1.-The re-
pairs on the Philadelphia will take fully
two months" he said. Concerning the
possible need of a cruisers presence at
Honolulu during the approaching cleo
ton he said the commander OF the
Charleston, which has probably arrived
at Honolulu by this time, can use his
own discretion as to whether he had
better remain there or proceed direct to
Yokohama. Without speaking otfici-
allv." he continued, 1T may be the
policy of the government to deem the
presence of a war vessel at Honolulu an
indication that it is a necessity. If it is
not a necessity, there could be no reason
WHY it should be there. | should say
that, if the government of Hawaii is ever
to have any standing with the nations OF
the earth, it is time for it to be permitted
to establish the standing without out
side assistance. There is no reason why
the Hawaiian Islands should be visited
by the vessels of the squadron in prefer
ence to other important points, such as
Peru, where a revolution is impending.
There are now no vessels on the Central
or South American coasts, though the
unsettled state of affairs in several To-
calities would seem to suggest that it
might be advisable to have a cruiser
there to protect American interests. 1t
is very doubtful if Hawaii will be given
the attention that it received during the
past year, as the prospective harmonious
conditions there do not demandit. There
are, however, no orders as yet, and /
have not the slightest idea where shall
be ordered when the Philadelphia is
ready for sea-"

WASHINGTON, September 8. - Some
changes in the force of special agents
of the general land office will be required
unless an additional appropriation for
the service is made early in the next
session of Congress. The present APP
preparation for that work is 100000,
which is said to be inadequate for the
expenses of the force OF between thirty
and thirty-fve agents. None have been
dismissed so far, but some may be sus-
pended pending a further appropriation,
which is expected to be made. The APP
preparation for last year was $45, 1000, and
later on an additional appropriation OF
$40, 900 was made. Commissioner La
moureaux has just ordered the dismissal
of twelve agents, and the names of twelve
more will be dropped from the rolls
December s. This action will reduce the
force to about ten at the end OF the year.

THE TARIFF.
Mexican OmciaIs Much Interested in
Our New Law.


Our New Law.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, September TO-
Ex-Governor r. T. Crittenden, Consul
General of the United States to Mexico,
arrived in Kansas City this morning.
Speaking of Mexico, Mr.. Crittenden
said:
"The Mexican officials are much in
terested in our new tariff law. 1t will
tend to increase trade between the two
Republics, but it is not as liberal as |
should have liked to have seen it. Lead
ore ought to have been free. The reduc-
ton of the tariff on cattle will be bene-
fetal. | saw it stated just before | left
that the reduction of tariff will bring
100, 900 head of Mexican cattle into the
American markets within year. | do
not know that this is true, but | give it
as it came to me. The Mexican govern
ment would reduce the high tariff it
maintains if it could. Its financial con-
dition is unfortunate, and the depreci-
alton in silver has been hard on Mexico.
Still it is paying the interest on its debts,
and the principal as it natures, which
is more than any other SpanishAmeri-
can State can do. Our American people
are beginning to understand Mexico, and
we have a good number of Americans
there engaged in business and running
plantations. DR.. Cockrell, son OF the
Senator, is now in the United States
buying machinery for his coffee and sugar
haciendas. Others who are there are
making money. Coffee-growing is an
inviting field"

THE WHOLE PLOT.
Authorities Succeed in Ferret
ing Out the Lynchers.
ASSISTANT JAILER INDICTED.

The Evidence Shows That the Dastardly
Crime Committed Near Millington
Was Carefully Planned-SherilT's Son
Exposes the COnspirators.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, September 10.-The
whole plot of the lynching of the six al
legged negro incendiaries near Milling
ton the night of August % has been
laid bare, and before many hours elapse
every man implicated in the conspiracy
will be in jail. Robert McCarver, son Of
J. A. McCarver, Sheriff of Shelby county,
is the man who exposed the conspirators.
He was before the grand jury last night,
and told the whole story. In his testl-
mony he said he was invited to partici-
pate in the lynching by H. N. Smith,
one of the men now in Jail under in
dictment for completely in the lynching.
Smith gave McCarver the names of the
men who were to compose the mob, and
told him how the negroes would be ar
rested by Detective w. S. Richardson,
placed in a wagon and driven to Big
creek swamp, where they would be in
waiting. When the invitation to par
ticipate was given to young McCarver,
it was represented that his father knew
of it, and that Judge Cooper of the
Criminal Court was not in the dark.
These representations were untrue, and
were made by Smith with the intention,
if possible, to mix Sheriff McCarver in
the affair through his son, so that his
hands would be tied if any investigation
should be instituted by the authorities.
Young McCarver declined to join the
mob, and the day after the lynching
disclosed the details OF the plot to Joseph
Theirs and Hoffman. 1t was through
these men that the grand jury obtained
it's first information about the conspiracy
and the importance of McCarver's testi-
monv. In the Criminal Court to-day
Judge Cooper after hearing McCarver's
statements ordered him placed under
$4,000 bonds to insure his presence at
the trial of the lynchers.
ASSISTANT WARDEN INDICTED.
MEMPHIS, September 10.-The grand
Jury has sprung a sensation with an in
dictment against William Cox, the as
sistant warden at the county jail, charg-
my nm WIN POI Jui III NOiSA' W va
the lynching Of the six alleged negro in
cendiaries near Millington week ago.
1t is alleged in the indictment that Cox
was cognizant of and party to a con-
spiracy to lynch the negroes, and that he
told Joseph Theirs and others the day
before they were. murdered that there
would be necktie party in the vicinity
of Kerrville and Millington Friday night.
Cox denied this statement when he was
called before the grand jury, and the
Indictment for perjury followed. Cox
was arrested and locked up.

MEMPHIS, September 10.-A call was
issued yesterday by the pastors OF all the
negro churches for mass meeting to-
night for the purpose of publicly thank,
ing Governor Turner, Judge Cooper and
the white citizens OF Memphis for the
determination they have shown to bring
the Millington lynchers to justice. Funds
will also be raised for the widows and
orphans of the six negroes who were
murdered by the mob.

A horse is worth just what can be got fol

Don't drive promising colt to death

A seller should never expect buyer to

The whip inflicts great pain and worry
and helps immensely to wear out horse.
Ownership has limitations and bestows
no right to mutilate, abuse or neglect any
animal.
The best horsemen of our time condemn
the whip and believe that much more is
lost than gained by it.
Enter your colt where you think he has a
chance to win. Don't put him in race
when you know he is outclassed
The horseman of today should breed the
best to the best and take care of both indi-
viduality and pedigree as he proceeds.
If all drivers were struck each time they
strike a horse, whips would soon disap-
pear The necessity" for them would
cease.
How many of your yearlings in training
last year went wrong in the legs? Next
season resolve to be a little bit easier on
them.
A breeder who wishes to succeed nova
days must keep step with the procession
and as near the band wagon as possible.
He can't afford to try doubtful expert
ments.
There is no objection in having little
thoroughbred blood in a trotter, provided

DIVERSE OPINIONS.

| In Regard to Proposed improvements
in the brooklyn District.
The property owners on South Riverside
street and Washington avenue have not
yet signed the paper drawn up by
the city attorney, to the effect that they
would not ask for damages on account of
the change of grade in these streets.
One of them said to-day: II shall not
| sign any such paper, nor do think that
many of the property owners on these
streets will sign it. When the city makes
simply righting a grievious wrong done to
the property owners of South Riverside
street The street was cut too low in the

all run down on South Riverside and re-
manned there, forming regular cesspool
| All this was done without asking the
property owners to sign petition not to
ask for damages. We all suffered on &C.
count of the grade made n few years ago
and none of us have made any demand for

Another man said he signed the petition
and would be pleased to see the change
made at once. In fact all the property
owners on the street believe that the
| change of grade is needed and should have
| been made long ago. But it is different
with those owning property on Washing

of the property owners. when questioned
about the matter. ''Yes sir, l shall de-
mand damages and will have no difficulty
| in proving to any sane man that l am en-
titled to damages" He said he could not
estimate the amount of money it would
cost him to make the necessary changes
around his place if the proposed change of
grade would be carried out.
Another said: "There seems to be some
misunderstanding on the part of the prop

tween Bank street and Washington avenue
about the paper which they are asked to

at a Prize Fight.
RIDGEwOoD, n. Y, Jan. 30.-The bout
between Billy Vernon, the Haverstraw
brickmaker, and Billy Ernst, the Brook
Ign lightweight, came to sudden ending
when Deputy Sheriff Williams of Queens
county, with so other deputies, broke into
the Casino in Ridgewood park and ordered
the fight to cease. The appearance of the
deputies caused panic in the Casino. In
the wild rush of the spectators to get out
of the building doors were broken down,
windows smashed and chairs and benches
wrecked One mans leg was broken and
anothers head badly cut.
The raid was not unexpected. Sheriff
Norton of Queens county announced that
if an attempt was made to pull off the
Vern on-E Ernst affair there would be trCu-
BILE. The fight was under the Eagle Ath-
letic clubs management and was held at
Benefits Ridgewood park. 1t is a large
structure, capable of seating over 1000.
and 800 sports journeyed to the park.
Men fell down and were trampled on.
Others jumped out of the windows. AT
last the door in the rear of the hall was
broken down and was quickly damned
with fighting and cursing men. In the
meanwhile the deputy sheriffs continued
to fight their way through the hall, and
several of them climbed on the stage, where
the ring had been pitched. During the
scramble to get out of the hall a number
of persons were very seriously injured,
while many more were struck and bruised.
No arrests were made, and it was not at
tempted to take into custody any of the
principals or the managers of the show.

The special correspondent of the DEMO
Graf, at Washington, wires to-day
Representative Pigott called on the post
master-general this morning to learn if
possible what action would be taken re-
garding some of the offices in his district

up with a weary air, and said ITO tell
the truth, Mr.. Pigott, have been too busy
to reach a conclusion in any of these cases.
The routine business of the department is
so heavy that am compelled to work at
my house at night in order to bring up the
arrears. Tell your constituents to put the
blame on me for not having acted more
promptly in the matter, and say to them
that hope to do something soon.'
Mr. Pigott made a speech before the
house judiciary committee to-day, in be-
half of the resolution introduced by him,
directing the Judiciary committee to in
quire and report what states, if any, have
failed to comply with the law directing the
several states to apportion their congress
sional districts, so that said districts shall
be composed of contiguous territory and
contain, as nearly as practicable, an equal
number of inhabitants.
