NEGROES GREATLY EXCITED.
They Demand That Colored Miners
Illinois M, Protected,

They Demand That Colored Miners in
Illinois be Protected.
CHICAGO, Aug. Give hundred ex-
cited negroes today in mass meeting
adopted resolution demanding that
Governor Altgeld protect the colored
people in Spring Valley, ILL.,, and as
serting their determination to leave
for that place tonight in the event of
the refusal of the governor to take
such action. The speeches were vio-
lent and determined.
The colored people decided to stay
in session all day and a committee OF
four was sent to Spring Valley to re-
port on the situation. The committee
was expected to reach the mines at
$3.50 this afternoon, and it was decided
that if they reported by Telegraph that
their brothers were not being properly
protected by the state authorities a
company of rescuers would leave
Chicago at 4:10 P. NJ. and go directly to
the aid of the colored miners.
A white lawyer named Waters at
tempted to advise moderation, and was
promptly thrown through the window.
The Italian consul asked that the
police prevent the men from leaving
the city. Mayor Swift and Chief
Badenoch held conference, and it
was decided that if the colored men
attempt to board train for Spring
Valley they would be stopped by
policemen.

Made q Small Haul.

RosEBURG, Or, Aug. 6.-The Coos
bay stage. which left here at A. NJ.
today, was held up on top of Camas
mountain, 20 miles from Roseburg,
about l1:30 A. NJ. today. George Lain
gor was driving. When near the top
of the mountain, a small, heavy.set
man, wearing a white mask and hav-
ing a pistol in each hand. stepped out
from the brush and ordered Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s box thrown out. The
driver replied he had none. The rob-
ber then ordered him to throw out the
mail sacks. He was then ordered to
drive on, which he did. On reaching
Camas he notified several persons, who
went back to the scene of the robbery.
and in short time found the pouches
cut open. There were only two or
three through registered packages in
the pouch. SO the robber was not very
we'll paid for his trouble.

A CHANGE OF VENUE.
1t May be Granted in the Durrant Murder
Case After All.


Case After All.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Theodore
Durrant may not be tried in San Fran
cisco after all. The reason for this il
the tangle in which the attorneys in
the case find themselves in regard tC
jurors. After much care and delibera
tion seven jurors have been selected
to try the case, only to find two Jurors
objectionable in more ways than one
In this respect the prosecution seems
to have got the worst of it. Juror
Walter S. Brown is said to have stood
for the acquittal of M. D. Howell in
his trial for counterfeiting, his reason
being that he did not believe in con.
victing on circumstantial evidence.
Charles P. Nathan, another accepted
juror, has record in Sacramento for
objecting to the death penalty in cases
of circumstantial evidence.
AS the evidence against Durrant is
altogether circumstantial the dis
covery fills District Attorney Barnes
and Detective Captain Lees with
dismay.
In view of these matters it is said
that when IL men shall have been
may ask leave to challenge the two
jurors. The defendants counsel will
probably object to this, but may con-
sent to the dismissal of the entire jury.
This would clear the way for renewal
of the motion for change of venue.
Judge Murphy upon mature reflection
may find himself impelled to grant
this renewed motion if it is made. The
case seems to be almost hopelessly
mixed according to the opinions of
prominent attorneys.

Justice jackson Dead.

NASHVILLE, Aug. S.-The Hon.
Howell Edmunds jackson, associate
jnstice of the supreme court of the
United States, died at his residence at
West Meade, six miles west of this
city, this afternoon in the 64th year Of
his age, of consumption.
Judge jackson had been in failing
health for the past four years, but it
has been only in the past eight or nine
months that the progress of the dis
ease began to cause his family and
friends uneasiness. Last year he went
on lengthy trip to the far west, In
search of health. Later he went to
Thomasville, Tenn, where 1t was
hoped the mild and bracing climate
would restore his once vigorous con-
stitution. The trip did him little good,
and after time he was brought home.

THE OLD GUARD.

The members of the "Old Guard
of equal freedom-whicb the abolition.
lists of ante-bellum days have been
properly termed-have nearly all
passed to the silent majority, and the
last among these to take the long jour-
ney was Rev. Edward Bucher, who
died few days ago at the advanced
age of 90 years. He championed the
cause of Lovejoy in Illinois in 1888,
and made fearless onslaughts on slav-
cry and the slaveocracy of the country
from the pulpits in that state. Now,
when the curse of slavery has ceased
to exist for over thirty years, one can
read the history of that irrepressible
conflict without prejudice and with a
thrill of pride in the action of those
stalwart characters, such as Phillips,
Garrison, Loyejoy and Beecher, who
made every possible sacrifice for the
freedom of mankind. There were
giants in those days, and they have
left their impress upon the nation
which will last through all ages. Illi-
nois will erect q monument to Lovejoy.
and none more worthy of having his
name handed down to posterity ever
lived in that state. The great Lincoln
abolished slavery as a war measure;
but public sentiment was prepared for
it by those grand men who, often at
the risk of their lives, advocated equal
rights, and who defed mobs and the
dough-faces of the north in the ex-
preston Of their sentiments. In the
great battle for human liberty in this
republic they were the "Old Guard"
and they never met defeat. AS per.
haps the last one has passed from the
field of action it is proper that all citi-
zens who feel pride in the advance
ment of the nation, should place green
twig of remembrance on the graves of
those who fearlessly denounced the in
famous Fugitive Slave law and the
servile sentiment at the north to slave
ocracy that made it possible for slave
ow ners to herd their human chattels
n the shadow of Faneuil Hall, Boston,
md Independence Hall, Philadelphia.

massacres of the missionaries and the
destruction of American and English

minister hopes later and fuller reports
will modify the severity of the unoffi-

fidence that the central government at

COLLIDED IN MIDOCEAN.
Steamer Prince Oscar and an Unknown
Vessel Sunk.

Vessel Sunk.
PHILADELPHIA Aug. S.-The British
ship Prince Oscar, from Liverpool,
Captain Henderson, collided in mid
ocean, July IL, with an unknown sail
ing vessel. Both ships sank in less
than 10 minutes. Six members of the
crew of the Prince Oscar and all on
board the unknown vessel were lost.
The survivors, II in number, were
rescued by the ship Dhar7car, after
being in an open boat with neither
food nor water for three days. They
were transferred to the steamer Capac,
from Pisaqua, and brought to this
port tonight.
The Prince Oscar was bound from
Shields, where she left May 9, for
Iquique. laden with coal, and was GO
ing at clipping gait, on the port
track, before brisk wind, and all
canvas set. 1t is estimated by the
crew that she was making about 81
knots an hour, when suddenly there
loomed up directly under her bows a
four-masted vessel. The mate asserts
that the stranger had no lights burn
ing, and after she was sighted, it was
impossible to alter the course Of the
Prince Oscar. The iron hull of the
latter struck the unknown ship full
amidships, knocking her almost on
her beam-ends, and crushing through
the woodwork until her prov was half
buried. The stranger went over
at once on her beam-ends, as the
Prince Oscar backed away from the

The Outrage Premeditated.

HONG KONG, Aug. 6.-In an inter-
view today with the survivors of the
Ku Cheng massacre they declared the
outrage was carried out in the most
diabolical manner and was evidently
premeditated and carefully arranged
attack. 1t was entirely unprovoked
and made upon the occupants of the
missionary station while asleep. The
bodies of the victims were buried at
Foo Chow. There are rumors of
further riots at stations nearer Foo
Chow than Ku Cheng.

NEW YORK, Aug. IA special to
the Herald from Nassau says:
Reports from the rebel headquarters
in Baire, Cuba, confirms the rumored
foundation of p DIVISIONAL govern
ment in the valley of Yara. General
Bartolleme Basso, nominated by the
general-in-chief, Maxine Gomez, was
proclaimed as president by the revo-
lutionary forces, simultaneously in
the central provinces and the depart
ment. DR.. Joaquin Castillo, Major
Portundo, Colonel Manduley, Captain
Aguilera, DR.. Padron and Mariana

of Santiago, have gone to Puerto Prin-
cipe to meet representatives from
Camagaya, Havana and Nuella Abago,
to draft constitution for the new
republic. This will include military
and civil conditions.
The cabinet is not yet announced,
though Antonio Maceo, it is said. has
received an offer of the portfolio of

A LARGE CONTRACT.
American Shipbuilders to Construct Car
Ferries for Lake Baikal.

TerrIes IOr Lake Balkal.
DETROIT, Aug. 6.-The Detroit Dry
Dock Company has practically closed q
contract with the Russian government
for the construction of three car fer
ries to cross Lake Baikal, in the mid
die of Siberia, and thus connect the
two ends of the great trans-Siberian
railroad. Each of the boats are to
cost at least 100000. 1t will be the
largest contract ever made by lake
shipbuilders. The noted ice-crushing
qualities of the St. Ignace and ST.
Marie, and the Mackinaw railway
transfer boats, built by the Detroit
company, is what called the attention
of the Russians to this type of car
ferry. Frank E Kirby, designer OF
these boats, who is in Russia, whittier
he had been summoned by the govern
ment, sends word that the deal is prac-
tically closed, but the company is
not yet informed as to the material or
exact size of the vessels. The boats
will probably be built on the shore of
Lake Baikal and the machinery will
be constructed here.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Hon. Binger Hermann has written
letter to the Oregonian declaring that
he will not bolt the party if he does
not receive the nomination for
congress next year. The country is
now safe, and Oregon will give its
usual Republican majority in lo96.
From personal letter we learn that
the remark that Secretary Kincaid
said that Oregon has enough popula-
tion first appeared in the Salem CORES
pondence OF the Oregonian. We never
did believe that the gentleman used
the expression; but it furnished an
excellent text for sermon on "Moss-
backism." with which Oregon has been
afflicted for some time past
The Jackson Hole excitement has
quieted down, and nothing has been
read in the dispatches for several days
regarding the trouble with the BAN
mock Indians. II appears thai the
fault lay with the whites more than
with the Bannocks, and The settlers
should be held to the same observance
OF the law as the aboriginees. We
have acquired title to this country by
a policy of aggression that would not
be upheld in any court in this age of
of the world, and common humanity
would dictate that our first families
should receive fair treatment.
The school question in Manitoba has
not been settled, and if the Dominion
government attempts to enforce its
.aw regarding sectarian schools in that
province trouble is liable to occur.
At last accounts an effort was being
made to compromise this vexed ques.
tion; but the Manitobans appear firm
in their determination that the free
schools shall be undenominational and
not religious institutions. Education
should be entirely segregated from all
religious dogmas or creeds, and free
people should be careful to keep church
and state separate.
As an attraction for the state fair to
be held in Salem next month the man
agement has made arrangements for

Work of Masked Men.

DOUGLAS, Wyo., Aug. THE fore
man of a herd of sheep owned by the
Platte Valley Sheep Company reports
that six masked men rode into camp
Sunday night, held up the herder,
saturated the wagon with coal oil and
burned it. They shot half dozen
sheep and rode off, after telling the
herder they would wipe out the entire
flock if he did not get out of the park
at once. The company sent out arms
and ammunition today and say they
will stand their ground. Bloodshed is
likely to follow, as the ranchers claim
the range is in dispute.

Europeans in China.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 6.-The Mercury
today publishes dispatch from Foo
