ALAwLEss CONDITION.
Colored People Denied the Right to Live
in Texas-What will the. Governor Do2


PARIS. Texas, Aug. News has
reached here of bad state of affairs
prevailing in Delta county which adj
joins this (Lamar) county on the south
One night last week every colOred per-
son was notified that he must leave the
county at once or he would be taken
out and hanged.
WHITE MEN THREATENED.
Notices we're posted informing white
men who undertook to protect them
that they would meet with the same
fate. This caused perfect stampede
among the colored people who began
to move out of the county at once al
though the citizens offered every pro-
lection. In radius of five miles ?,
600 acres of land, crops, and all were
abandoned, and contracts for one 9TH
er year abruptly cancelled. The white
cappers, or whoever they we're contin-
ued to post threatening notices, and
not family is left.
VALUABLE LAND ABANDONED.
Some colored people who owned val
liable farms have remained behind TO
sell their lands for whatever they
could get for them. One colony of
colored people owned 100 acres of the
/ best land in the county, and have
as yet got no offer for it, although
it is well worth from $25 to $50 per
acre Feeling is running high. Thous-
ands of acres of the finest farming land
in the South will be idle next year.

European Conference Indispensi-
BILE to Its Settlement
THE STATESMEN ARE UNEASY
Fighting Between Turkish Troops and
the Christians OF the Island
of Crete.

London, Nov. IA dispatch to the
Times from Constantinople says the
opinion prevails in diplomatic circles
that an European conference is indis-
pensable for the settlement of the Turk
ish question, for although the powers
have agreed, this agreement can not
be changed into action for fear of draw
ing Europe into dangerous eastern sit
uation.
The winter SHOWS will keep the Asiat-
ic provinces quiet, but something must
be done before springtime revives the
excitement and Macedonia is brought
into the movement.
Consuls estimate the loss of property
as a result OF Diarbekir riots alone at
50, 100000.
General alarm continues, despite re-
assuring reports from the provinces and
the wealthy Armenians sleep at the no.
tells in preference to remaining at their
homes.
A batch of official dispatches have
been published representing that order
has been restored everywhere except at
Sivas, owing to the measures which the
government had adopted.
1t is officially announced that several
of the notables and persons in authority
at Erzeroum have apologized to Shakir
Pasha for the disorders provoked at
that town by Armenian revolutionists.
