IN A DEPLORABLE CONDITION
ARE THE NEGRO coL0NlsTS IN MEXICO
Harassed By Disease and Starvation Con gressman Bankhead Asks the Government
 to Assist in Bringing Them Back.

Washington July 24.-A serious con- dition of affairs exists in the American negro colony at Tlahualalo, Mexico. so serious that MT Sparks says the negroes have left the colony in a body and that a. number of them are located in a camp under the surveillance of Mexican sol diers. Some of them in the camp are afflicted with contagious diseases. and altogether their condition is deplorable.
 The colonists are all from Georgia and Alabama, whence they emigrated after being given glowing accounts of the fer tility and fruitfulness of the concession ranted their organizer, a negro by the Mexican government. No action in the matter has yet been taken by the state department.
 The state department officials. after making every effort to devise ways and means to help the colonists, looking to every law that might be construed to give them authority to use funds, found it utterly impossible to do so.
 A late telegram from Consul Sparks stated that the negroes were scattered for miles on the railroad without food. friends or funds and were living on mos, quite beans and branch water.
 Mir Sparks said he could do nothing for want of money, and added that he feared trOu Die. as tne cOlOHlSlS Wete StdiNiuS.
 The original dispatch from MT Sparks informed the department that he had re- ceived telegram from Dr. J. H. Barry of Torreon, Mex, dated July 23, which said that 153 negroes from the colony were destitute at that point, with fifteen cases of conta gious diseases among them. The Mexican police were preventing them from entering the towns
 The state department has also re- ceived a letter from Congressman John H. Bankhead of Alabama asking If the government can assist in bringing back to their homes the members of the Tla- hualila colony, who left Alabama and other sothern states about year ago, and who are now, he says. diseased. des- titute and unable to return unaided.
 The department has tried every way td afford some relief to the colonists, and has instructed the consul at Piedras Nie- gras to render all assistance that could properly be done and to report promptly any serious developments
 The charge d'affaires of the United States in the city of Mexico has also been informed of the state of affairs reported by MT. Sparks and has been instructed to inquire into the treatment that the colonists were receiving.

the Alabama Great Southern shops, was living and which partially succeeded, an account of which was given in full in the Age-Herald at the time of the occur renee, about four weeks ago.
 Marshal Sudduth of Avondale, as soon as the affair occurred, came to this city and reported it to Sergeant Donelson, who with Officer Kirkly, began an inyes- tigation which resulted in the arrest of three negroes Among them was Gus Boyd, who confessed to having placed the dynamite there and firing the fuse. but claimed that the dynamite was given him by MT. Lennon, who showed him how to properly fire the fuse, and was prom ised the sum of $100 by MT. farrell when the job was completed.
 Upon this information Sergeant Don olson and Officer Kirkly lay in wait for MT Lennon, who had in the meantime gone to North Carolina, where his chill dren were. his wife having died but a short while ago. He returned from Car olina Monday and the officers were noti- fled thereof and immediately apprehend- ed him and brought him to the city prison.
 Officers Bodeker and Ellard arrested Mir. farrell also. Both had the rather vague charge of suspicion put opposite their names.
 As soon as the friends of Mir farrell found out that he was under arrest they Hooked to him in numbers, prepared to make bond in any amount The bond was placed by Judge Feagin at $500, which was promptly made and MT. farrell was released. Examination was at once waived and the case put in the court of Justice Benners, who will hear 1t on Wednesday, the 31st instant.
 MT. Lennon also furnished bond, while the negro was yesterday transferred to the county jail to await his trial. MT. farrell claims that he knows ab- solutely nothing of the affair. He has employed counsel, who will fight the

 Washington, July 24.-Indian Commis- sioner Browning this morning received a telegram from Agent Teller at the Fort Hall, Idaho, reservation that con- firms the press reports and indicates the urgent necessity for the immediate pres ence of troops at the scene of trouble in Wyoming The telegram is as follows:
 Have investigated the trouble be- tween the Indians and settlers in Wyom- ing and would advise that troops be sent there immediately to protect law ab!d ng citizens, the lawless element among the settlers being determined to come into conflict with the Indians. Settlers have killed from four to seven Indians, which has incensed the Indians. who have gathered to the number of between 200 and 300 near Salt river in Unintah coun- ty, and refuse to return to the reserva- tiOn.
 "I find that the Bannock Indians have killed game unlawfully, according to the laws of Wyoming, though not unlawfully according to the treaty between the Ban mock Indians and the United States, and the usurpation of the prerogatives of the settlers in that respect caused trouble. Nothing but the intervention of soldiers will settle the difficulty and save the lives of innocent persons and prevent destruction of property.
 Agent Teller's dispatch was forwarded to the secretary of war through Acting Secretary Reynolds of the interior de- partment accompanied by the following telegram from Governor Richards of Wyoming, which was also received to- day:
 ''Cheyenne, Wyo., July 23.--Dispatches from Agent-General Sttzer, who is on the ground at Jacksons Hole, repeated to you today. Will the federal govern ment take the matter In hand of return ing the Bannocks to their reservation, or will Wyoming be expected to do so? Please wire reply.
 w. A. RICHARDS, Governor"
 A letter was sent from the interior de- partment by Acting Secretary Reynolds to the secretary of war requesting that troops be sent to the scene of the dis turbances, in which he said: "The dan ger of a conflict between the Indians and settlers seems imminent and l fully ap- prove the recommendations of the h. dian commissioner and respectfully re- quest that you cause to be sent to these troubles a full military force to prevent a conflict between settlers and Indians and protect the lives of settlers and to return the Indians to their proper reser- vation."
 After his conference with General Ru- ger and Major Davis, Secretary Lamont this afternoon sent word to Brigadier- General Coppinger commanding the de- partment of the Platte, to proceed at once to the scene of the troubles and as- certain the exact situation. In the mean time General Coppinger is to order the movement of such troops in his depart ment as will protect the settlers and se- cure the return of the Indians to their reservation.

SAVED BY IGNORANCE.
An Attempt to Blow Up a Hall During Re- gious Meeting Most fortu-
 nately Fails.

North Sciute, Mass, July c4.-An at tempt was made to blow up Konoha ssett hall last night while religious meeting was in progress. The hall has been used for some time for series of evangelical meetings. It has been the custom of some of the rough element to go to the meetings, and there have been disturb ances. At this the offenders have been arrested. taken before the court and fined. Last night, while the meeting was in progress. loud explo- sion was heard. No one was seriously hurt.
 An examination showed that the ex- plosives had been put under a corner of the building and had shattered the woodwork in it's immediate vicinity. It is thought dynamite was used and ig norance of how to place it saved a wors-4 wreck and possibly injury to many.

THE PRICES FUR 4 CENTURY Interesting Bulletin of the Agri- cultural Department. RISE AND FALL IN COTTON From the Invention of the Gin Dosn to the
 Present Day. LOWEST POINT WAS TOUCHED IN 1842 In That Year Marengo County Planter Sold Seventeen Bales in Mobile at
 4l-4c-The Smallest Fluctua-
 ton Was in 1886.
-owEsT POINT WAS TOUCHED IN lo42

Washington, July 24.-The bulletin on the prices of cotton for 100 years, which the department of agriculture has had in course of prepara tion for some weeks, was issued today. The period considered begins and ends with two of the most i'm portant events in the history of cotton culture, the introduction of Whitney's saw gins, 17S5 and the production of the largest crop the world has ever seen, 1S94-95. The highest and lowest average prices, the crops of the United States, the exports to foreign countries, the sup ply and consumption in the United States. Great Britain and continental Europe are given for each year, as we'll as the chief causes that have led to the rise and fall in prices from year to year. In addition to a series of tables in which these facts and figures are pre- sented the bulletin contains numerous data relating to the progress made from time to time in the production and con sumption of cotton in this and foreign countries. These are so arranged as to present a brief historical sketch of cotton production and consumption in the Uni ted States during the past century. The object of the department has been to make this bulletin a valuable work of reference aS to the production, conSump- tion and prices of cotton and other num- erous facts relating to cotton for all who are interested in either cotton planting or in the cotton trade.
 Referring to the condition of the mar ket and prices in decade from 1S40 to 1850, the bulletin says:
 "In 1S40 the largest crop ever made np to that time and the largest accumnla- tion of stocks ever witnessed in Liver pool caused a decline to the lowest aver age for ten years. This was the begin- ming of the heavy accumulation of stocks in Europe during the next five years, which lead to an extraordinary decline in prices The highest price per pound in New York in that decade was 13 7-S cents, in 1850, and the lowest, 5 cents, in 1S42 and 1S45. Shepperson quoted mid ding in that year as low as cents.
 Tn 1842," continues the bulletin, "mid- ding to fair cotton reached as low as Az cents in New Orleans, and there is on file in the department of agriculture a letter showing that a Marengo county, Alabama. planter sold this year seven- teen bales of cotton in Mobile at A cents The Price Current of the day Orleans in 1S45 as low as d3s cents and in Mobile the same year 3A cents per pound.
 shows that in 1925 it amounted to IS cents per pound: in 1873. to l212 cents; in 1865, to 1.21; in 1867, to 1.H, and in 1SS6 to only .S6 of a. cent, the smallest oH record.
