"A SETTING MATCH.
An Arkansas Incident Out of the Usual Run of That Sort of
 Thing.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, April 7. - Gov. James P. Clarke and Representative w. K. Jones of Mason county had an altercation in the lobby of Gleason's hotel this eve ming, which came near resulting in very serious afflir. Yesterday. wheu the charges of bribery were made in the house against certain members in con nection with the railroad commission, MT. Jones rose to question of privilege, and stated that Governor Clarke was responsible for the charges; that he had gone about in the dark like an assassin with knife up his sleeve, stabbing in the back men who were his peers in every respect.
 About 2 o'clock this afternoon Governor Clarke called at Gleason's hotel, where he met Jones in the lobby. He requested a private interview with Jones in order that he might have an understanding with him. Jones replied that he would settle here with him, and that if he had any business with him he could transact it where they were. This angered the governor and he spat in Jones' lace. Jones spat back at the governor, who drew a large pistol, but was prevented from shooting by several by standers. Governor Clarke was arrested by a constable, but was released on his own recognizance. The governor will plead guilty tomorrow in a justice court to as-

ONE MORE VICTIM
Is Notched by "Railroad Bill,n the Negro Desperate of South
 Alabama.

MOBILE, April "A special to the Daily Herald from Bay Minette, a small station on the Louisville and Nashville railroad twenty five miles above Mobile, tells of the killing at 12 o'clock last night of James Stewart, az, 30 years, by negro desper- ado, known only by the name of Railroad Bill.p
 The negro has terrorizsd Baldwin and Es- cambia counties for some months past. On the morning of March he was found asleep at tank at Hurricane bayou by freight conductor, who, assisted by several otthe trainmen, covered the negro with a Win chester rife, and then awoke him. Greatly to the surprise of his would be captors, the desperate pulled two big revolvers, and in the hot fight that followed made the entire train crew seek shelter in Q house near by. A seco nd freight train came up few moments later, and the negro captured 1t, rode up to where the. .im prisoned crew was and filled the house with lead.
 Since then every effort has been made to capture the daring and reckless negro, but without success. He was seen last night at 10 o'clock by two white men, on whom he opened fire, wound1ng one slightly. They organized q posse and found their man two and a half miles from Bay Minette. A midnight battle ensued, during which Chief James Stewart received rife ball through his heart. The negro escaped Sheriff McMillan of Brewton arrived on the scene at O clock this morning with blood hounds, but heavy rain prevented suc- cessful trail.

CHINESE OFFICIALS PROFESS IGNORANCE
 OF THE ARMIsTIcE.
 LONDON, April 7.-The Central News' corresp on dent in Tokio says that the stories about the killing of the wounded at the battle of Tien Chang eminated exclusively from Chinese sources. The Japanese main- tain that the wounded were treated by them with customary humanity.
 A dispatch was sent from Hiroshima to Lieutenant General Nodzu, commander of the Japanese troops in Msnchuria, briefly explanation. He telegraphed back that the stories were baseless calumnies. Letters were written by reporters from the head quarters o;s three divisions in Manchuria supporting this denial in every respect.
 Lieutenant General Nodzu reported from Hai- Chang on April that General Yis had sent him message to the effect that the Chinese commanders know nothing of the conclusion of an armistice. Moreover, the governor of Liao Yang answered the news of the armistice with insolent let ter, denying that he had been uniformed of the arrangement.
 When Lii Hung Chang was told of the re- plies sent by Yis and the governor, he ex- pressed deep regret. 1t Is supposed that telegrsphic communication with the Chi nese forces has been interrupted. Mounted courers could not have got from Pekin to General Yis' Headquarters in fewer than five days, and, although sent, they proba' bly had not arrived when the Japanese messengers went into the Chinese camp. The Tartar soldiers, moreover, are utterly ignorant of the civilized customs of war and have no understanding of a truce.

THE BEARS UGLY PAW
Is in the Trouble Between Nor way and Sweden-Germany
 ReSentS-The War Cloud.

BERLIN, April 7.-The maturing conflict between Norway and Sweden has given rise to strange reports in Berlin. Since Tues day 1t has been a common statement that should the two kingdoms resort to force, Emperor William would take up arms rather than permit the threatened interfer- ence Of Russia. He is said to have prom ised King Oscar as much - Although the official circle discredits this report, the mere thought of it has sufficel to fastsn general attention upon the swift course of events in the Scandinavian peninsula.
 Yesterdays dispatches from Stockholm, :, while not confirming the predictions of war, describe the situation as very serious.
 Since King Oscar returned to Stockholm negotiations have been resumed in Christi ana between Michelet of the conservative right, Minister Stang aud the liberal leader, Steen, but with little prospect of success, as Stang insists upon his resigna- tion. Michelet admlts that he cannot form ministry with any hopes of governing un- der Inc constitution, and Steen threatens to impeach the members of any cabinet try ing to override the majority. Although this deadlock seems to lender any peace able settlement i'm possible, it is still 8 good way this side of civil war.
 Russia's attitude as to the con ntiict is in doubt, but, as usual, she is suspected of designs upon Norway.
 With the alarmist rumors of the emper- OTIS promise to King Oscar has come a batch of gossip as 10 the relations between St. Petersburg and Berlin. The two courts are supposed to be jess friendly now than a few weeks ago.
 The Iageblatt says the czar gave Em- peror William no advance information as To Prince Lobenoff's appointment 10 the ministry of foreign affairs, although the prince at the time was am bassador- elect 10 Germany. The German emperor first learned the news from Emperor Franz Joseph. The Tageblatt says Emperor Viii liam was so chagrlned by this snub that he at once recalled General Won Werder, whose business it was to learn the change of plan iu St. Petersburg.

HE Is ANGRY.
Warmth as to Scandal Mongers in Pulpit or Press.

WAsHINGToN, April 7.-When the re- port of a speech made in a Methodist con ference at Salem, Mass. by the Rev. Dr. Lansing, and a subsequent published inter- view with the same gentleman, accusing the president of intenperance, was shown to President Cleveland this evening, he said with considerable warmth:
 uThis is simply an outrage. Though it is not the first time thing of this kind has been attempted, cannot avoid feeling of indignation that any man who makes any claim to decency, and especially by one who assumes the role of a Christian minis ter, should permit himself to become a dis. not less stupid than they are cruel and wicked.
 tsl easily recall other occasions when these more or less entitled to be called min isters of the gospel have been instru- mental in putting into circulation the most scandalous falsehoods concerning my conduct and character. The elements or factors of the most approved outfit for placing false and bare- faced accusation before the public appears to be first, some one with baseness and motives sufficient to invent it; second, a minister with more gullability and love of notoriety than piety, greedily willing to listen to it, and gabble it; and, third, newspaper anx- iously willing to publish it.
 ''For the sake of the Christian religion l am thankful that these scandal mo gering ministers are few, and on every account am glad that the American people love fair play and justice, and that in spite of all efforts to misead them they are apt to form a correct estimate of the character aud labors of their public servants.p

VOTED TO STRIKE.

PROVIDENCE. R. l., April 7.-The weavers at the Atlantic mills in Olneyville held meeting this afternoon and voted to strike for restoration of the scale of Wages paid prior to the last cut down of 22 per cent which was made year ago. They asked a week ago to have the old wages re- stored and the request was refused. Dress goods of cotton, wool and mixtures are made at these mills, which give employment to 2400 opera lives. This concern is not supposed to be affiliated with the Manufacturers club, but with the organization of mill owners, which threatened to shut down all of the wooden and worsted mills in OIney- vile o.morrow if the operatives in any of them were not satisfied to work for the pre- sent scale of wages.
 The Atlantic mill owners will continue at work until the vote to strike is sanctioned by tbeldistrict council of the Textile union :, which meets next Tuesday night.

SALISBURY EXPLAINS.

LONDON, April 7.-In the last parlia- mentary debate on the Welsh disestablish- ment sir William Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer, said that Lord Salisbury voted for Irish disesta bIishment in 1869 and therefore must approve of the policy. In a letter to the Times Lord Salisbury now ex plains:
 before 1S69 but spoke and voted for it in 1869 because the general election taken in that year on the Irish disesta blish ment resulted in an adverse verdict from all parts of the United Kingdom. l did not change my vote because had changed my opinion, but because higher authority than the house of lords had spoken.''

then the lieutenant did not know his brother

then the lieutenant did not know his brother was dead.
 The lieutenant led the negro towards the city jail, which was more than a mile away, followed by n immense crowd clam bring for the negr ro's blood. Nsar the city jiil Policeman Ed Holland approached with pistol drawn, swearing he would kill the negro and avenge his brother officer, Ed Minor. The lieutenant placed his pistol against Hollands head and said: ''rhis man is a prisoner and as such sacred. You shoot him and l will
 BLOW OUT YOUR BRAINs.''
 So Lieutenant Minor brought the negro safely to jail. This was about ''ck, , and by g o'clock there were rumors A mob was forming 10 storm the jaii5 lynch the negro. The mob was sald to composed of negroes as we'll as whitemen, as the former were enraged over the killing of Sucks by Glenn. This rumor lroved untrue, but the officers, in order to run no risk removed the negro secretly from inc jail, rowed him acroes the st. John's river, hagged down the train for St. Aug us inc when it passed and carried the negro to the ancient city, where he was placed in jail. The officers were confident of thelr ability to protect the negro, but the excite ment in Jacksonville was so great that they feared bloody conflict might result unless the negro was removed to a distant county.
 Brit Glenn, the murderer, came here from Columbia, s. c. He was once train nbDQ Ou tn0 OOluulDld buu 0T00uNiilO road. He is about 80 years old and is noted among he negroes as a desperado.
 Policeman Ed Minor, who was killed in the battle at the barn, was 23 years old and was fearless officer who was very popular in Jacksonville.
 Jim Clemens, or 'Rag Jim,' who so persstently pursued Glenn, and who was probably fatally shot, is familiar figure in Jacksonville, and the white people are loud in praise of his conduct.
 Lieut.. Jim Minor has been on the police force only few years. He is z5 years old and has captured more murderers single handed than all other mem bers Of the force. His wound in the ankle is slight.
 The battle occurred near Hotel Roseland, which was full of guests, and the shooting caused the greatest excitement among them. Frequent snrieks came from the ladies.
 The "Rabbit Foot'' saloon, in which Sucks was killed by Glenn is noted for the frequency of the murders occurring therein. Sucks is the sixth man killed there in two years, and not one of the murders has been followed by hanging. The last one un- doubtedly will be,

 WICHITA, Kans. April 7.-Wilder Scott shot and killed his wife in the entrance of the Christian church at noon today and then placed the pistol in his mouth and fired a bullet into his brain. Both died instantly. Scott was q years old and his wife 19. The tragedy occurred just as the worshippers were leaving the church and was witnessed by & large number of people.
 Scott and his wife were married two years ago, but the young mans dissipated habits clused his wife to leave him. Re- gently Scott decided to reform, and today attended religious services. After the con- gregation was dismissed and the people were leaving the edifice, the murderer and suicide met hls wife who was accompanied by her father.
