READY TO Fight
NEGRORS PREPARED TO BATTLE
FOR THEIR RACE.
n Call IL ISSUED for q Meeting in
Chicago to Enlist Men to Go
to Spring Valley, Ill, to
Whip the Italian
Miners.
AN APPEAL TO GOV. ALTGELD.
Negroes in Chicago Ask the Gov
ernOr to See That the Negro
Miners Are Protected.

Chicago, Aug. 7.-Some Of the col
ored residents of Chicago have been
wrought up in a dangerous condition
by the report of the outrages COM
mitted against their brethren at
Spring Valley. Some Of the more rad
ical have openly threatened to march
against the foreigners there with an
armed force. Late last night the fol-
lowing call to arms was issued and
circulated in the colored community
Of the South side:
"To the colored people of Chicago:
There will be meeting at 500 State
street at 8 q. M, in the morning and
we want all able bodied men to come.
The time has come for us to raise our
arms in defense of our race. They
are killing out people all over the
country. Every day we read Of the
lynching, numbering and outraging
our people, We must remember that
this Is our country, and unless we
fight for our rights the foreigners will
run us out, as the government has
not protected and will not protect us
as we protected 1t in the time Of need.
We ask all able bodied colored men
to respond to this call, as they must
have our aid at Spring Valley or they
will slaughter the helpless women
and children that are left. We have
got to do this, and We may as well
die now as to die year from now"
A mass meeting was held earlier at
which speeches we're made by Mrs.
Ida b. Wells-Barnett and others. A
telegram was sent to Gov. Altgeld
asking him to see that the colored
miners were protected, and 1t was de-
cided to hold another meeting to-mor-
row night. and II by that time no
action has been taken by the gov
ernor arrangements will be made to
send nurses and other assistance to
Spring Valley. Several members of a
cOlored military organization, who
were present, declared that IL the
state would not protect the colored
men Mt Spring Valley they would 10
T there and give the Italians an the
fight they wanted. The meeting. how.
ever, frowned upon the warlike
young men. saying that 1t had not
come to that yet.

Washington, Aug. THE state de-

bassador Eustis of the action taken
by the French chamber Of deputies,
looking to the arrangement of q
treaty between the United States and
France by the terms of which any
differences that may hereafter arise
between the two countries will
be adjusted by arbitration. At the
state department 1t is thought the
subject promises to be extremely DIFF
ficult of adjustment, owing to the
seeming impossibility Of reconciling
the claims Of the United States under
the Monroe doctrine with the French
view.

Hinckley, Mimi, Aug. 7.-There is
a movement on foot In Hinckley to
observe Sept. 1, the first anniversary
OF the terrible fires Of last fall, by fit
ting memorial ceremonies. The idea
has taken firm root since the celebra-
ton at Phillips, Wis, a week ago,
and will probably be carried out. The
idea will be taken up by Sandstone,
Brook Park. and, in fact, the whole
county, and Sept. 1 will witness a
memorial observance that will be-
speak in glowing terms the kindness
and sympathy of the residents of
Pine county. All the leading places
wiped out by the fire are larger and
more prosperous than last year, and
1t Is proposed to show their advance
since the fire In a substantial way.

by attaching five signatures to q

no difficulty In securing a mortgage
loan Of $1,000. At Ills Saturday

Doctor Robert H. Thurston, in a

Doctor Robert H. Thurston, in
recent article, discusses various
materials in which comparisons of
interest are made. At the outset
he gives the following generally
accepted figures: Cast iron weighs
444 pounds to the cubic foot and
inch square bar will sustain a
weight of I6, 500 pounds; bronze,
weight 525 pounds, tenacity SO, 900;
wrought iron, weight $50, tenacity
-, 900; tard "struck" steel, weight
400, tenacity $4,000; aluminium,
weight I6S, tenacity 10000. We
are accustomed to think of metals
being stronger than wood, and so
they are, generally speaking, if
only pieces of the same size. be
tested. But let equal weights of
the two materials be compared,
and it will then be found that
several varieties of wood will prove
stouter than ordinary steel. A bar
of pine just as heavy as a bar of
steel an inch square will hold up
I25 5000 pounds, the best ash t75,-
900 and some hemlock zoo, 900
pounds. Wood is bulky, 1t oc-
cupies 10 or IA times the space of
steel.-Scientifc American.
