FOUGHT WITH sPITTLE.
a Governor and "A LawmnIker Indulge /
in Novel Encounter.

in "a Novel Encounter.
Little Rock. Ark. April 17-Gov. James
z. Clarke and Representative w. r.
Jones Of Marion county had an alterca-
tion in the lobby Of Gleason's hotel this
afternoon which came near resulting
very seriously.
Yesterday, when the charges of bribery
were made in the House against certain
members in connection with the railroad
commission bill, Mr.. Jones rose to a aues-
tion Of privilege and stated that Gov
Clarke was made responsible for the
charges; that he had gone about in the
dark like an assassin with a knife up his
sleeve, stabbing in the back men who
were his peers IN every respect
About ? o'clock this afternoon Gov
Clarke called at Gleason's hotel where
he met Mr.. Jones in the lobby He re-
quested a private interview with Mr.
Jones in order that he might have am
understanding with him. Mr.. Jones re-
piled that he would so nowhere with him,
and if he had any business with him he
could transact IL where they were. This
angered the governor and he spat in Mr.
Jones face. Mr.. Jones spat back at
the governor, who drew a large pistol
but was prevented from shooting by sew
eral bystandeFs. Gov. Clarke was ar
rested by a constable, but released on his
own recognizance. The governor will
plead guilty tomorrow In a justice court
to assault.

MILL HANDS TO STRIKE.
They Demand the Wages Paid Prior
to Cut of - Per Cent.


to Cut of - Per Cent.
Providence, r. l., April THE weavers
at the Atlantic Mills in Olnoyville held a
meeting this afternoon and voted to
strike for a restoration of the scale of
wages paid prior to the last cut down OF
% per cent, which was made a year ago.
rhey asked a week ago to have the old
wages restored and the request was re-
fused. Dress goods of cotton, wool and
mixtures are made at these mills, which
give employment to 2,400 operatives.
This concern is not supposed to be af-
filiated with the Manufacturers Club,
but with the organization of mill owners
which threatened to shut down all Of the
wooden and worsted mills In Olneyvilla
tomorrow if the operatives in any of
them were not satisfied to work for the
present scale of wages
The Atlantic mill Weavers will continue
al work until the vote TO strike is sane
toned by the district council of the Tex
tile Union, which meets next Tuesday
night.

Dms'r I>iLL THE WOUNDED.
Chinese stories of Japanese AtrOci-
dies Denied

London. April The Central News cor
respondent IN Toxic says that the stories
about the killing Of the wounded at the
battle OF Tien-Chwang emanatod exciu-
siNcly from Chinese sources. The Japa-
nose maintain that the wounded were
treated by them with the customary hu-
manity. A dispatch was sent from rs
roshma 10 Lieut.. Cen Ncdzu. commander
Of the japanese troops IN Manchuria brief
~ stating the accusatluns and requesting
an explanation. 'Hc telegraphed back that
the stories were baseless caiumnies. Let
ters writtcu by three reporters from the
headquarters Of the three divisions Ia Man
churia support this denial in every re-
spcct
Lieut. Gen Nodzu reported from Hal
cheng ON April !. that Gen. VI had sent
him a message to the effect that the
Chinese commanders knew nothing Of the
conclusion OF an armsticc. Moveover the
governor OF Liao Yang answered the
notice of the armistce with an insolent
letter denying that he had been Informed
Of the arrangement. When II Hung Chang
was told Of the replies sent by vi and the
governor, he expressed deep regret. II is
supposed that telegranhic communication
with the Chinese forces has been inter-
rupted Mounted couriers could not have
got from PelSin to Gen. Yrs headquarters
In sewer than fve days. and, although
sent. they probably had not arrived when
the Japanese messengers went into the
Chinese camp. The Tartar soldiers more
over. are utterly ignorant Of the civilized
customs OF war and have no understand
ing of a truce.
The correspondent says that Lord IL
has been appointed envoy with full powers
to Japan and has formally accepted the
mission.
The Tlen Tsin correspondent tells OF the
discovery of a secret memorial, dated
1852, IN which many high Chinese officials
had recorded their unanimous opinion
that China should undertake the con-
quest of Japan, since the progress OF
western civilization among the Japanese
was threatening the welfare of the Chi
nese people.

found asleep al a tank at Hurricane Bayou
by a freight conductor, who assisted by
several of the trainmen, took the ne
gro's Winchester rife and then awo1e him.
Greatly to the surprise of his would be

lowed made the entire train crew seek
shelter in a house nearby. A second
freight train came up a few minutes later

Washington April 7.-When the report

euce at Salem. Mass, by the Rev. Dr.
Lansing, and a subsequent published In
terview with the same gentleman. accus-
ing the president OF intemperance, was
shown to President Cleveland this even
ing. he said with considerable warmth
This rs simply an outrage. Though It is
not the first time a thing of this kind
has been attempted ] cannot avoid n
feeling OF Indignation that any man who
makes any claim to decency. and csnec-
lally by one who assumes the role Of a
Christian minister. should permit himself
to become a dlssemnator Of wholesale
lies and calumnies not less stupid than
they are cruel and wicked.
II easily recall other occasions when
those more or less entitled TO be called
ministers of the gospel have been instru-
mental IN putting into circulation the
most scandalous falsehoods concerning
my conduct and character. The elements
or factors Of the most approved outfit for
placing a false and barefaced accusa-
tion before the public appears to be. first,
some one with baseness and motives sufii-
cient TO invent II; second, a minister with
more gullibillty and love Of notoriety than
piety. greedily willing to listen to II and
gabble #, and, third, a newspaper an
xiously willing to publish II.
For the sake OF the Christian religion
/ am thankful that these scandal mon
gering ministers are few, and on every
account am glad that the American peo-
pie love fair play and Justice. and that,
in spite of all efforts TO mislead them,
they are apt to form correct estimate of
the character and iabors of their public
