He made, however, one blunder that
nearly ended his career at the Yankee
Mill and on earth. The logs were not
coming in fast enough TO feed the mill.
Bob had sent word to Eb Ford, the
woods boss. that lac could not get
the logs. They were also coming in
slower every day. Ed Ford was
not the man TO travel fast unless he
wanted 10. He had made the other
foreman wait for him, and so he decid-
ed Bob should do likewise. Ford was
terror 70 the mill hands, and he was
the only man in that section able to
handle the woOdsmen. They were
tough lot, mostly negroes OF the lowest
type. And though they had no fear Of
the Sheriff they feared Eb Ford, in fact,
the whole mill force stood in fear of
him. Bob had heard of Ford. He
had been warned by the northern Of
fee To keep his eye on him, and if pos
sibie to avoid a clash of authority.
But the clash came.

showed the mill to her full capacity and
was cutting nearly $1,000 feet per day,
and would have added 1000 feet more

logs. Bob sent message after message
90 Ford, but received no reply, nor
were the log trains any better. At last
his patience became exhausted, and he
sent Ford word that be would have

NEW ORLEANS. March 2l.-The cot.
ton trade OF New Orleans. which has
suffered greatly the past few months
on account Of the labo: troubles on the
river, received another severe blow
when between $4,000 or 10000 bales
were consumed by fire. The conflagra-
zion occurred In the international cot
ton press, situated at the corner of
Gainnie and South Peters streets.
which is considered to be one OF the
largest presses in the city.
The flames were first discovered about
3 o'clock this morning by Waterman

making his rounds when he discoyered

tightly packed bales stored in ward

the flames to such an exsent that Chief
Conner saw that the force at hand was
inadequate to handle the fire and q gen
eral alarm was sounded which brought
every engine in the city to the scene.
The cotton burned 80 her:ely, caus-
ing such an intense heat that 1t WAS
almost impossible for the fremen to get
within fighting distance, and the smoke
was go dense that several Of the fire..
men had narrow escapes from suffocs-

control OF the fire department., and the
flames spread across the street to ward

They fought the flames manfully and

IL Is impossible to get the exact num-
Der OF bales consumed, but from what
the employees of the press say, there
were nearly 10000 bales stored in the
two yards, which were burned over.
The loss will probably amount to $780,

placed in foreign companies, which

Exodus to Africa.
CHICAGO, March 21.-Tho reports OF
the sending OF negroes to Liberia by
the Migration Socidty OF Alabama and
OF the colony of negroes settling in
Mexico have aroused much interest
among the colored people of this CITY,
which may result in m exodus of large
number. e.. w. Chapman, who was a
missionary to Liberia for several wears
and who Is now studying medicine in
this city, speaking Of the matter, saws:
" think 1t is mistake for colored
people to go to Liberia, for Its climate
is not fit to live in. 1t Is almost i'm pos-
sible for the white man to live there
and the colored man cannot fare much
better. The country is exceedingly
Walarious and nearly nine-tenths OF
those who go there die in O short time
from African fever. They also suffer
from large running sores in the legs.
The coil is very fertile and the countr y
is rich In fruits, but this ia more than
counterbalanced by it's climate. In nv
opinion the southern part of Africa is a
much better region"

UNITED STATES JUDGES.
Not Supposed to Como Under Provisions
of the Income Tax.


WASHINGTON. March GA question
OF some interest is likely to arise in
connection with the collection of income
tax from judges of United States courts.
Some days ago Judge Hughes, of the
Eastern judicial district of Virginia
came to Washington and in discussing
tho income tax with friends said that
he had already made his return but it
was exceedingly brief. He had stated
simply that he had no income other
than his salary as a United States Judge,
which under the constitution was
exempt from the tax. The sections of
the constitution to which Judge Hurhes
referred provides that the President of
the United States and the Judges of
United States courts shall receive for
their services compensation which
shall moi be diminished during their
continuance in oflca.
The Supreme Court has held, in sew
eral cases, that the imposition of tax
upon the Office Of the President of the
United States and the judges of the
Supreme Court and inferior courts of
the United States is diminution OF the
salary within tho meaning of the con
sitution II the act levying the tax was
enacted during the official term of the
President or of the judges affected
thereby. If these decisions remain un-
disturbed, all United States Judges, of
which there are about one hundred, will
DO exempt from paying the income tax.
