THE SPORTS RECEIVE A BLOW.
Justice Cole, of Washington, Sits
Down Upon Them.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Winter racing
in the District of Columbia received a
hard blow today by a decision by
Justice Cole of the criminal court in
sustaining the indictments against the
bookmakers of the Ivy City track
Justice Cole said the question of
violating the statute depended on the
nature of the contrivance and not
its name and the law applied many
to the keeping of places for gambling.
1t was held the later act had no re-
pealing effect. The racing men have
requested an early trial and they will
probably be arraigned next week They
have given up the idea of resuming
the meeting. George H. Engemar,
president of the Ivy City club, will
also be tried. The officials of the Ben
nings club, which gives a meeting in
the spring and autumn, fear the decis-
ion is so broad that it will prevent the

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 16.-Governor
Fishback has received information Of
a reign of terror which exists among
the colored population of the town OF
Black Rock.
Black Rock is the center of large
manufacturing and lumber district.
and owing to the present financial
stringency a large number of men are
out of employment. Among them are
many lawless characters, who have
organized for the purpose of driving
all the negroes out of the town. They
have succeeded in intimidating many
factory owners so far that they have
discharged all the negroes in their en-
ploy.
Last Friday night the following no
tice was posted in public place:
"All negroes must leave this town
inside of ten days or take what fol-
lows, and all who have a house rented
to them must fire them, or we will fire
the houses inside of ten days Ne
groes, 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 prop
erty would be burned. The mills and
factories are guarded and the streets
are patrolled by men armed with Win
chesters. The other side claims it has
outside help. and serious trouble seems
to be imminent
The colored population, which NUM-
bers about 300, is completely cowed.
About one-third have left and most OF
the others will go, if the mill men
should follow the advice of the White
cans

Jacksonville, Jan. 16.-Manager Bow
denis GRAND in Tallahassee was the
principle subject of conversation among
the followers of the Corbett-Mitchell
contest Although the dispatches this
afternoon announced that the inter
view with Governor Mitchell was of
private nature, the statement that
the situation was unchanged gives

that nothing has developed adverse to

insult and resign his position 1t is
impossible to~locate the sheriff, how

out the milietia to prevent the contest.
| Speeches were made of a fiery nature,
some of the most prominent men in

adopted:
Whereas, 1t is currently reported

panies throughout the state to report

Whereas, There are no indications
| of any breach of peace; with which
the civil authorities of the city and
county are not fully able to deal; and
| Whereas, We deem the massing of
troops in this city under the circum-
stances unwarranted by law, and a
serious reflection upon the character
of our citizens and a detriment to the
business interests of the city;
! Therefore, the City of Jacksonville

TO PAY PENSIONS IN BONDS.
sibIey, of Pennsylvania, Has a New
Idea.

Washington, Jan. 16.-sibley Demo
crat, of Pennsylvania, has prepared d
bill to pay pensions in a new issue Of
two per cent bonds. He proposes to
offer it in the House, in case bill is
presented for a general issue of bonds
The bill is designed to give pensioners
the benefits usually accruing from
bonds and give the government ready
means of meeting its pension obliga-
tons. The plan is to make denomina-
lions of one dollar to one hundred and
make them legal tender, which would
allow them to circulate as money
His plan contemplates the issue of
such bonds until the amount reaches
$50 per capita for the population of the
country.

THE QUEEN Is FIRM.
She Has No Intention of Giving Up
Any Rights,

ANY Ak1SntS.s
San Francisco, Jan 16.-As a result
of the published rumor to the effect
that Queen Liliuokalinai had definitely
abandoned the idea of restoration to
the throne and would bring action for
pecuniary damages against the United
States, Samuel Parker, prime minis
ter and minister of foreign affairs Of
the ex-queen. is now here.
Last night he sent a strong telegram
to Secretary Gresham, signed with his
full official title, positively denying the
assertions, and declaring that the queen
has submitted her case to the arbitra-
ton of the United States and will pa
tiently await the verdict. Parker said
in an interview last night that he saw
the queen half an hour before he sailed
from Honolulu, and she was firm in
her determination to maintain her
claim to the throne. At no time did
she or any of her advisers mention the
possibility of presenting a claim to the
United States for pecuniary damages.

Tallahassee, Fla, Jan. 16.-If Cover
nor Mitchell has any intention of
abandoning his fight against the Duval
Athletic Club, he dosen't show any
signs of it, On the contrary, he seems
more determined than ever and has
laid plans which he says cannot fail.
When approached today he said: you
can announce that I'm going to pre-
vent this prize fight, for that's what
it is; no matter how many other terms
are applied to it."
But it is limited the Jacksonville
militia has declined to aid you," was
suggested.
1EThat's not rue" said the governor
sharply "But if they did happen to
SO decline, it would not affect my plans
in the slightest degree. I'm going TO
prevent that fight, and that's all there
is about it. Corbett and Mitchell can
not fight in this state
"Have you read that the club has
several other places in view if Jack
sonville is abandoned?" was asked.
81 have said Governor Mitchell,
shall be prevented in the state of
Florida. 1 grant you, they may sneak
off in the woods somewhere and have
it out l shall not call upon the Jack
sonville militia. Some of them are in
favor of the fight and who have friends
who are interested"
''Then you will employ the militia
of some other point in the state?"
"You may draw your own conclu-
sions. The adjutant general has
planned to cover every point which
might be available and his men are
men who may be depended upon. I
am prepared in any event"
"Now, them said the governor in
conclusion, II think 1 have made my
self plain. If anybody comes to Flor
he can only blame himself. There will,
I repeat once more, be no prize fight
here
The adjutant general would say
nothing of his plans, further than the
fight would surely be prevented.

that the ex-queen is contemplating a
suit for damages against the United
States for having ousted her from the
throne 1t is inquired, very pertinently,
where will she bring suit? There is no
court in which she has the privilege
of bringing a suit. The only means
of enforcing a decision could be to
wage a war. She might, indeed, file a
claim with Congress, but she would
be entirely dependent upon legislati ton.
