Savage Attack on Negroes at a Saw
Mil.
WEsTvILLE, Fla, Sept. 1O.-Two ne
groes were shot to death and several
wounded by band of masked men in
the northern portion of Holmes county.
The tragedy occurred near large saw
mill which is owned by Graves 81 Beatty.
The firm employs many negroes and op.
crates a short railroad from the saw mill
70 the Chcctawahatchie river. A freight
car had been fitted with hunks and
within this about thirty negroes sleep.
The car iu which the negroes were
sleeping was surrounded by masked men
who Immediately opened fire with Win
chesters The shots and the screams Of
the negroes brought Graves, Beatty and
number of employees who live near the
scene and then the masked men fled
Examination showed that Henry john
son and Sam Evans, negroes, had been
killed. and that dozen had been
wounded, some of whom will die.
The attack has 30 terrorized the
negroes that they have refused to work
for Graves & Beatty longer, and to-
day about fifty OF the saw mill hands
reached this place. 1t is thought that
the attack was instigated by white men
who had been discharged by the owners

The Difference In the Price OF City Bridge
Work


City Engineer Compton has just COM
pleted the estimates showing q compari-
son in the cost of replanking and paving
of all of the bridges in the city. The city
engineer IN his figures shows the cost of
the work if ordered done with lum Der,
and the difference if asphalt is used. The
estimated cost is figured 10 cover period
of ten years. To plank the Buena Vista
street bridge will cost $276o, and to
pave the structure the cost will be $2115;
to plank the Downey avenue bridge it
will cost S4700, and to pave the bridge
the cost will be $4S00; to plank the
kuhrts street bridge the cost will be
$ 1920. ard to pave it the cost will be
$l16); to plank the Macy street brid ge the

be $685.; to plank the Also street bridge
the cost will be $1295. to pave it the cost
will be $1,000; to plank the First street
bridge the cost will be $6305. to pave it
the cost will be $685.; to plank the Sew
enth street bridge ths cost will be $l2I3,

THE ASIATIC TRADE

Consul Barrett, whose report was
commented on at length yesterday, gives
our manufacturers and iobbers some
wholesome advice as to the methods they
should adopt if they would secure any
amount of Asiatic trade. What he has t,
say is very aptly told. and if our mer.
chants would heed it. much can be
learned therefrom which would otherwise
have to be learned by expensive expert
ments. His suggestions are as follows;
First-European firms VIII give practi-
cally the same terms of credit 10 the pur-
chasing merchants in Japan, China, ST.
am, etc., as they will TO customers at
home.
The American firm so seldom consents
to like terms that oriental buyers men,
ton it as a hindrance to trade.
Second-European firms through bank
ing agencies or other means know the
financial standing of the principal i'm
porters, and upon receipt OF order by tele-
graph or letter can act at once.
The American firm, before forwarding
an order, must go through the red tape of
requiring proof of reliability, which usu-
ally means the deposit OF certified
check, equal to the purchase price, in
some bank, the loss of the use of the
money for many months, and prolonge
delay.
Third-The European firm. wishing to
create market for its wares, will often
send out large consignment at its own
risk to a responsible merchant to sell un-
der most favorable terms. This custom
is popular and gaining ground.
American firms usually deem this too
great a risk.
Fourth-With the present low rate of
exchange, the European firm will usually
give the merchant time in payment to
take advantage of advance in exchange.
Numerous eastern firms are authority
for the statement that American export
ers do not appreciate these conditions
and vii! not make such terms.
Fifth-ln packing and shipping goods
to the orient, in view OF the distance and
exposure to peculiar climatic conditions,
European firms are extremely careful.
There are continual complaints that the
average American firm does not use the
great care necessary.
Sixth-Europoan firms send their clev-
crest men to the orient to study the con-
ditions and needs of different localities.
ana men who are not discouraged bv the
hard work required to develop a market
Only few American firms have special
Grst-class men in the orient, while too
often some OF those that 40 come have
"know it alp manner that does more
harm than good, and who lack persist
ency mingled with tact | am glad to
record, however. that where there are
worthy representatives. excellent results
usually follow.
Seventh--American exporters in devel-
pping this field must realize W no are tn cir
competitors, must meet them Oh the lines
the latter have established and with Their
own tactics, and must not give Up because
the results are not especially femunera-
tive from the start. German exporters
are now sharing the trade with their Eng
lish competitors. because they persisted
under conditions at first adverse and
proftless.

She Is Insaneiy Infatuated With Her
Brother-in.Law

BrOther-lr-Law
Mrs. Fannie l.. Holiday was yesterday
examined before Township Justice Young
on a charge of having threatened to burn
the house and destroy the property of her
brotherin-law. Edward +. Holiday. be-
sides threatening HIM with personal vio-
lence. The facts of the case were re-
ported at length in The Herald yesterday
morning. Holiday and his wife testified
to the fact that the sister-in-law had in
their absence tried to wreck their house
detailing the damage done. They also
testified that they believed she was in
sane. bsi:g infatuated with the brother
in-law. The defendant then took the
stand and admitted all the allegations in
the com plaint The woman is quite pre-
possessing in appearance, hut is certainly
weak-minded, if she is not positively in
sane. She is madly infatuated with her
brother-in-law at any rate. Mrs. Holli.
day was placed under $1,000 bonds to keep
the paece, in default of which she was
sent to Jail. A com plain. will probably
be sworn out against her for insanity.
Mrs. Edward f. Holiday is a daughter
of the late Senator Thurman OF Ohio, and
is very wealthy woman. She has been
three times married, her two former hus-
bands being alive. The first was a naval
officer, from whom she got divorce,
and the second was an Italian officer,
from whom she also secured divorce.
She is married to Holiday by contract.

PUT NO SALOON BEHIND THE FENCE

The license to sell liquor behind the
fence on Alameda street. yesterday re-
quested of the police commissioners by
Theodore Bauer ought not to be granted.
1t aimed to give to Bauer a monopoly on
the whisky business in district and
amid surroundings where public saloon
should not be permitted to exist at all.
The very argument advanced for granting
the license ought to prove bar TO its
being issued. The theory that the popu-
1ation in the plague spot mentioned is
bound to have liquor and that the deni-
Zens of the locality will publicly run at
large to procure it promiscuously over the
city if they cannot get it in the vicinity
of their immediate stamping ground. is
untrue, and if true is not tentative. The
police commissioners have the right and
it would be their duty to revoke the
license of any saloon outside of the pre-
scribed territory selling liquor to these
women. Permitting the stuff to be sold
by Bauer will be legalizing tho traffic by
the city, and customers stated in advance
to be of the very lowest of the riffraff OF
the class which is at its best dangerous
to the community at large. Bauer at
present owns the district in question, and
has mortgage upon the souls of all of
its population. The granting to him of
the saloon license he has re tuested will
vastly increase his power and will make
h I'm a man dangerous to the community
ut large, especially in matters to be de-
cided by the franchise.
If the Ministerial union of Los Angeles
is really anxious TO be of practical service,
let its several members at once bestir
themselves to the end that the proposed
Bauer saloon license in the rear of the
Alameda street fence, with its attendant
possiblel terrible consequences, may not
become assreallty.

have their own houses in the leading
ports up and down the whole
coast. which do a large and increasing
business. There are so few real Ameri-
can houses on the Asiatic coast that they
can be counted on ones fingers. In Ja-
pan there are few prosperous firms, but
in China the number is very small. Yer
in both countries there is room for nu-
merous we'll managed branches or indi-
yidual firms.
Ninth-Chambe bers of commerce, boards
of trade, banks and banking agencies at
home should make a special effort to OBJ
tain full and reliable data in regard to
the oriental trade possibilities and condi-
tions. At present even many of the
largest houses and manufacturing firms
in the United States seem to be entirely
at sea about this part of the world AMI
no approved system of securing or OBJ
tanning Information has been adopted.
1t is most difficult for the consular repre-
sentatives of the United States to answer
every letter of inquiry in detail, and tell
each firm what prospects it may havs
to develop its individual trade. but they
car and do gladly give full and reliable
data through the department of state in
consular and other reports. Were consuls
to answer every letter specifically, or at
tempt to do all that is often requested,
they would be obliged to employ more
clerks than the government would sane
tion and to convert their consulates in to
CON mission houses. As it is, however, l
believe that they give all the information
posi- BILE and will willingly make extended
reports on subjects outlined by cham bers
of commerce or requested through the
state department and not covered by the
regular reports just mentioned.
Consul Barrett calls attention to the
fact that European merchants are at an
advantage in that they have numerous
competing steamship lines which offer
special advantages in the way of low
freight rates. He also shows the advan-
tages which might arise from the estab-
lishment oflnew steamship lines from the
Paci fir cOaSt

KILLING OF BANNOCKS
The Jackson Hole Outrages to Be Investi.
gated by the Department of Justice

WASHINGTON, August 2O.-The ques-
tion of what action should be taken by
the government in regard to the killing
of the Bannock Indians in the Jackson's S
Hole country on July 18th. has been re-
ferred to th c department of justice. IL
is understood that a communication on
the subject was forwarded thero today,
which rccites the circumstances in the
case, and ends with a strong recommen-
dation for an investigation by the depart
ment.
1t is understood that the attorney-gen-
eral was asked to send special agents to
Jackson's Hole, and that the services of
the Indian inspectors would be offered as
assistants. Agent Tetor will not form
part Of the is,ion, as he has taken
SO prominent part in the troubles that
the settlers are greatly preiudiced against
him. 1t is believed that the arrest of
certain settlers by the United States au-
thor ties has been recommended. so that
the case may be brought into court, that
the relative weight OF the treaty with the
Bannocks and the laws of Wyoming may
be determined.
