ONLY ONE SHoT.-The situation ia
very quiet in Spring Valley, Ill. The
negroes are making no effort to come
back. The reports about armed negrot 9
coming from Peoria and Chicago to
avenge Sundays affair caused no un-
usual excitement at Spring Valley.
They would not have only the Italian
miners to deal with, but every white
miner in the city as well, numbering
in the neighborhood of two thousand.
Word was sent in from Ladd and
Toluca yesterday promising the whites
all the assistance necessary in case of
an invasion of blacks from other towns.
In case of an invasion 5000 white
miners could be mustered together in
Spring Valley in less than two hours.
The whites of that section do not ap-
prehend any danger in that direction.
They do not express the least sorrow
over the event of Sunday, and invite
fair and impartial investigation. They
claim to have endured the outrages of
the blacks az long as they could, but
they are severe in their criticisms of the
sensational tales told. A correspondent
who was on the ground and witnessed
Sundays battle from beginning to end,
has succeeded in discovering but one
negro shot, and the injury is only
flesh wound ofno serious nature. About
ten or twelve were assailed with sticks
or stones, but no attempts were made
to kill. The prime object, as stated on
the ground while the fighting was at its
height, was to scare them into leaving
and never come back again. Every
thing has gone along smoothly since the
negroes were driven out.

When Hon Horace Chiffon was call

In Texas

1t Shows the Strength OF Free Silver
in Texas.
''This Is one of the most remarkable
conventions ever held In Texas, re-
marked a prominent Democrat to a
Gazette representative yesterday. III
you will think of 1t moment lie VIII
strike YOU In the same light
what is there so remarkable about
the convention" querled the Gazette
man.
"The attendance. 1t IS the biggest
convention ever held In Texas, and
will prove 1t to you. II you VIII re-
member, there Is no candldate-no
mans personality mergS Into this
great coming together Of the Demo-
cratic party. There is no rally OF any
mans friends to his standard. 1t is
simply the coming together of the
friends of silver, each thoroughly I'M
bued with the determination that JUS
tlce shall be done the money of the
constitution. If devotion to the cause
of the white metal can assemble such
a crowd OF representative Democrats,
in an off year, when no campaign Is on,
! tell you II means something. Put out
a straight free silver Democrat to
lead the party next year, and place him
on a sound free silver platform, and
we will literally set the woods afire.
This convention is going to put a good
many people to thinking, too, for 1t
viii materially widen them between the

were charged with completely In the
assassination OF chief OF Police u. G..
Hcnnessy. That AFFAIR was terrific and
frlghtful In its effects, yet the excite
ment which followed WAS not gre iter
than the excitement which has fol-
lowed today as a result OF tho riot and
bloudshcd on the levce.
About the cotton exchange there was
the widest excitement. Prominent
members OF that great commercial
body collected at an early hour, and
were very much worked up over the
occurrence. They We're loud In their
denunclatons OF Mayor Fitzpatrick,
while many OF them condemned uev.
Foster In unmeasured terms for his
failure to do anything that would put
an end to the trouble. Many made re-
ference TO the United states nuthori-
ties. There was talk heard OF an APP
peal to the central government and
the advlsabllity OF communicating with
the president with reference 10 having
troops sent TO the scene Of action
Most OF the leading members OF the
exchange FASTENED to consult with their
lawyers
All OF the attorneys who represent
the ship agents and the steyedores
were early IN consultation with refer
cnce TO the terrible occurrences OF this
lllAt mus
About the board OF trade the riot
was discussed with less passion than
at the cotton exchange. The members
OF the trade body are not 20 directly
interested as the membes.s OF the cot
ton exchange, but Ia a certain sense
they have been generally more clearly
Identified with the people, The riot
was condemned In unmeasured terms,
while there could be heard talk Of hav-
ing meeting. so that the opinion
OF the body could be expressed.
Among the general merchants the
riot was discussed and while the kill
ing Of the negroes was condemned, 1t
was conceded that the ship agents
were largely responsible for the trou-
BILE by bringing negro screwmon from
Texas to take the places Of the home
men. II was regarded that such action
was like throwing spark into pow
der magazine and was certainly the
most ill-adyised thing which could have
happened Men who were dislnterested
condemned the ship agents and held
