NEW ORLEANS, March lS.-The thick
fog early yesterday morning was the
veil behind which desperate white
lsvee laborers gathered, and which
they penetrated with Winchester rife
balls, aimed at the colored non.union
workmen ct the shipa The work Of
riotinR and bloodshsd began 1t 7
o'clock and resulted In the killing OF
two men and the wholesale discharge
Of FIRE arms In two different sections
Of the city. After Q o'clock Monday
evening, though there was intense ex-
citement along the levee and many
drunken workmen were present, there
were no deeds Of violence. The police
were msssed in the Sixth precinct po-
lice station and had remained there
oil night Everything WAS reported
quiet, and they were hopeful
that everything would remain 80, when
there came message that dozen men
had been killed In front Of jackson
square and that terrible riot was In
progress. The police were at once
hustled into the patrol wagons, which
wore ct the station, and were hurried
away 70 the scene Of the trouble
They had barely time when
Sergt. Richard Walsh. in command
OF the precinct, heard . volley
Of shots from the direction Of the
levee in front IT the station. Among
the freight cara on the levee, between
Philip and Nyss streets, he found Q
crowd Of negroes They surrounded
their wounded companion The mans
head was covered with blood. He was
shot In the mouth. The negro, who
was unknown was taken to the sta.
ton. When the negro's body was re.
moved the sergeant and squad Of
officers went up the levee and found
mob OF $50 men armed with Winches-
tiers and shotguns. They were sober
and acted with elaboration.
While this was going on the vicinity

ment. A bloody riot had occurred
