Will Protect the Negro Miners.

CHICAGO. Aug. 6.-"Every step
taken by those Italians" said Frank
Milligan, Chicago agent for the Spring
Valley Coal company, only makes
the company more determined to nro-
tect the negroes. The trouble at
Spring Valley, ILL.,, where the late riots
between Italian and negro miners have
taken place, is not new at all. and
just recently it has been apparent
that matters were coming to a crisis.
The hatred between the two races has
grown more bitter, and then these
Italians seize upon any opportunity
to wreak their vengeance, for the acts
of two or three men, on the whole
negro colony. The company will pro-
tect the negroes. You may be sure
of that because it has more faith in
them than in the Italians.
THE negroes work much better than
the Italians and make better miners
They are more faithful and their con-
duct has won many miners to them.
The company will not discharge the
negroes so as to conciliate the ItaI-
ians. On the other hand, if the Ital-
ians do not behave themselves thew
may be out of work. That is the
stand the company takes"

A TRAMP'S FATE.
Trying to Steal u Ride.
Especial to The HeraIdI

POCATELLO, Idaho. Aug. 6.-At 2:45
this morning as train number 8. east
bound, on the Short Line was pulling out
of the yard. William Stewart, tres
passer attempting to steal ride on the
brakes of one of the freight cars, made
an effort to swing under the car. He
missed his hand hold and fell under, the
car passing over both legs and cutting
them off just above the ankle. Some
blunt instrument such as bolt or piece
of wood had become fastened in the back
of his coat and in his attempt to free him
self from the moving train was thrown
violently against the rail or ties and re-
ceived a severe cut on the forehead. He
was picked up and taken to the baggage
room on a stretcher and medical aid
summoned. 1t was plain to those present
that the unfortunate man was rapidly
sinking and that life at its best for him
was but a few short moments and he
himself knew that his time for this earth
was near at hand He fingered until 9:SO
this morning, when he breathed his last.
His body was taken to Manassas under
taking parlorS TO await instructions as
to disposition of the remains from rela-
tives in the east. Stewart was a man
probably IS or 80 years of age, a miner.

Rock Springs, seeking employment, when
the accident occurred

all manner of violent threats were
made against the Italians at SprlHe
Valley. For the first time during the
day the proposed moving on Sprins
Valley took definite shape ana COM
mittees were appointed to raise 1uhoS
to secure arms
There was much excitement al Inc
afternoon mass meeting when teie-
gram was read from Governor All
geld saying that the officials 81
Spring Valley and Bureau county had
not asked for aid, and if they did IL
would be promptly sent.
This did not suit the colored men at
all, and the most warlike language
was used. Finally cooler counsel pre-
vailed and it was decided to give the
governor time to act.
A delegation called on General Mer-
rift to ask that the United States
troops be sent to Spring Valley. He
told the committee that i'll the event
of the failure of the civil authorities
to protect the colOred people of Spring
Valley, the fact should be communi-
Gated to President Cleveland by tele-
graph, but he did not anticipate that
it would be necessary for the national
government to take any steps in the
matter.

Texas silver Convention.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Aug. 6.-The
entire state of Texas is represented
at the free silver convention being
held here today. Prominent men of
the state are directing affairs. After
considerable caucusing the meeting
was called to order at high noon and
a permanent organization effected
Speeches were made by silver orators
and one and all were of a most de-
termined type, declaring unqualifiedly
for silver at 10 to 1. That will also
be the basis of the platform without
doubt, but it is yet uncertain how
they will handle the administration
as some desire ITO denounce it in I'M
measured terms, while others are
working for more conservative action.
No convention was ever held in the
state that attracted the attention and
interest this one has, and a warm
time is anticipated.
The platform adopted declares radi-
cally in favor of free coinage of sill
yer at 16 to 1 and strongly condemns
the financial policy of the administra-
ton.
After passing number of resolu-
tions the convention adjourned sine

CoLORgHD REFUGEES.
Their Reports Infiame the Negroes
of Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Two colored
women, Mrs. Mary Stanton and Mrs.
Lizzie Dixdee, refugees from Spring
Valley, arrived in this city tonight,
and the reports they gave of the
treatment Of the colored people at that
place have infiamed the negroes of
Chicago to the highest pitch. Mrs.
Stanton is widow and since the at
tack made by the Italians on the col
ored men at Spring Valley, her two
sons have disappeared and she be-
lieves they were murdered. Mrs. Dix
dee has heard nothing from her hus-
band since that time and believes him
dead Both women say that the re-
ports of the outrages have been in no
way exaggerated. They say that the
colored women and children were as
saulted by the Italians and brutally
treated.
The mass meeting of the colored men
reconvened this evening at Arlington
hall at Thirty-first and Indiana avenue.

famed them to the highest pitch and

SPRING VALLEY, Ill, Aug. 1.-THE
situation is very quiet in the city. The
negroes are making no effort to get
back. The reports of armed negroes
coming from Peoria and Chicago to
avenge Sundays affair caused no unu-
sual excitement here. They would
have not only the Italian miners to
deal with, but every white miner in
the city as we'll, numbering about 1000.
Word was sent in from Ladd and To-
luca this morning promising the whites
all the assistance necessary in case of
an invasion. In case of an invasion,
5000 men, white miners, could be mus
tered together in this city in less than
two hours. They do not express the
least sorrow over the event of Sunday.
They claim to have endured the out
RACES of the blacks as long as they
could.
They claim that the newspaper sto-
rieS of negroes being shot and MANNED
are largely oYerdrawn. About ten to
twelve We're assailed with sticks and
stones, but no attempts were made to
kill. Had the mob been SO disposed,
not one could have escaped. The
prime object, as stated on the ground
while the fighting was at its height,
was to scare them into leaving, never
to come back again.
A meeting of miners was held today
Several papers We're denounced for
their highly colored and distorted sto-
ries. One news correspondent who
was compelled to flee from the town
yesterday, has not returned. 1t was
the middle class and business men who
ordered him TO leave, so enraged were
they at his sensational reports.
