An armistice OF several months

He said in an interview: 81

for England. Ny words in the
chamber must be taken at their
face value. They have no hidden
meaning. Every Itslian states
man, from Cavour down, has re-
garded the British friendship and
alliance as the highest objects OF
our policy. This does not stand in
the way OF my sincerity in desiring
friendly relations with France.
"As to Abyssinia have not
lost all hope Of peace, but it may
be months before the negotiations
now in progress come to success
full termination.
"As to the situation in Italy the
vote on Saturday has not decided
things one way or another. 1t was
not a conclusive VOTE"
An intimate friend OF Signor
Crispi says that the Marquis di
Rudini's assertion concerning the
alleged loss OF General Baratierps
dispatches is a falsehood. The
original OF these dispatches are in
existence at the ministry OF war,
and copies are now on file at the
telegraph offices at Rome and
Massowah.
The Turkish embassy denies the
news OF an alleged demand from
the sublime porte for Franco-Rus-
sian Intervention in Egypt.

BANKS AND BANKERS.
0bliterates the Color Line.

CHICAGO, March 27.-The Ham,
ilton club has added the name of
a colored man to its list of men,
bers. 1t is the first of the leading
organizations in Chicago to abolish
the color line. This especial honor
was conferred upon Adelbert E.
Roberts, a lawyer. The name
passed the test Of posting and the
directors were unanimous in his
favor. There was no animosity
over the admission such as came
within an inch of wrecking the
Women's club when the same
question was being considered by
it's committee. 1t was urged in
the discussion that the men were
asking the women to do what they
would not sanction in their own
clubs. This association is republic
can in politics. The constitution
provides that any one believing in
the principles of Hamilton and Of
accepted mental and moral quail
fications is eligible to membership.
During the last campaign, Mr..
Roberts went into Senator Bur-
roughs district and there made
quite reputation as an orator. 1t
is expected that the example of the
Hamilton club will establish
precedent and the directors claim
there will be no limit along this
line, only so far as the constitution
outlines.
The Hamilton club recently held
its annual banquet at the audito-
rum, at which were delivered ad-
dresses by Governor Bushnell and
other prominent orators. There
were present nearly half a thou
sand guests and Booker T. Wash
ington, the colored representative
of renown, told the audience the
way to solve the negro problem
was to give the block people a
chance. The Hamilton club has
followed the suggestions at its
election of members.

Union Pacific REORGANIZATION.

OMAHA, Neb., March 27.-It is
now learned through private let
ter from Chairman Carr of the
Union Pacific organization COM
mite to an Omaha man, that the
committee is making favorable
progress. 1t Is now certain that
the short lines new management
will take charge Of the property
August Is, and it is probable the
reorganization committe will have
made such progress that the re-
ceiver will take charge July l.
While it Is true the property will
leave the Union Pacific fold, 1t Is
equally certain that the receiver
will be favorable to the Union Pa
cific and there will be but little
change in the affairs OF the road
from the present status. The
Union Pacific will continue to en-
Joy all the privileges it has at the
the present while it will be relieved
from the Indebtedness OF the short
line. 1t is still question whether
the receiver of the short line will
open the Oregon gateway, there
by letting in the competitors OF
the Union Pacific for business, but
it is doubtful II he does.

Uprising in South Africa,

CAPETowN, Africa, March 81
Copyrighted 1896 by the Associated
Press. - Dispatches received from
Buluwayo, Matabeleland, this
morning indicate that the uprising
in that part Of the colony is very
serious. kilograms from the front
yesterday merely outlined it as a
revolt OF few natives in lnzza and
Filabusi districts, the massacre OF
some white settlers, including Com
misssry Bentley, and the dispatch
of small force OF volunteers to
the scene OF disturbance. Dis
patches today show the disturb
ance is widespread and becoming
hourly more alarming.
An extensive uprising Of natives
has taken place and the revolt may
spread to other parts Of South At
RIGA. Settlers in Matabeleland are
hocking into the towns, which are
being placed in condition Of de-
tense, volunteers being enrolled
every where and all steps necessary
are being taken to meet the oppo-
nents. Reinforcement of mounted
police have already been sent to
Buluwayo, InZza and Gamuo. Sup
plies Of ammunition are being hur-
ried to Buluwayo. The natives are
rsiding farms and killing white
settlers in Matapaho Hill district
and rumor has 1t that over fifty
persons have been slain.
Frederick C.. Selouis, a well
known explorer and hunter, has
been driven from his farm and has
sought safety at Buluwayo. He is
enrolling volunteers and will
shortly start for the front at the
head of g strong force of South
African troops. Selouis is quoted as
saying the authorities must act
quickly, or great difficulty will be
experienced in restoring order. The
mounted police which was sent
out from Buluwayo yesterday, has
had sharp engagement with the
natives, and although the official
report says the troops "retired" in
good order, unofficial advices have
it that the police patrol
lost several men, and a number
wounded and beat hasty retreat,
closely pursued by the Matabeles.
A small detachment OF volunteers,
sent to protect the endangered set
tiers, has also been compelled to
halt, and is now occupying forth
fed position twenty-five miles
from Buluwsyo, while awaiting
the reinforcement under Selonis,
which may be able to leave Bulu-
wayo today.

Police Versus Court Orders.

TACOMA, Wash, March 27.-An
exciting scene which approach
ed a riot, occurred in the Superior
court. Charles Baram and William
Morrisey who are wanted in Port
land, Ore, for burglary, had been
released on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. A squad Of police was
present to arrest them, but Judge
Parker held that they could be re-
taken only after the procuring Of
new warrant. The men rushed for
the stairway. When Prosecutor
Davis shouted to the police to seize
them, he was opposed by Frank
Smith. The lawyers grappled and
used their fists, but were finally
separated. Chief Of Police Smith
ordered his men to charge on the
alleged burglars, which they did,
although this was in conflict with
the courts decision. An officer
soon arrived with warrants from
the Municipal court, charging
them with being fugitives from
Justice. The police used their re-
volvers and soon had the men at
bay, though neither we're hit. They
were caught several blocks from
the court house.
Gov. Lord, of o RECON, has signed

MERRY ON THE GIBBBT.
Matt MoOtry Expiates His Terrible Crime
Today.

GEORGETOWN, Tex, March 81
Especial Matt Mootry, negro, was
hanged here today in the presence
of 1000 people, for the murder of
Andrew Pickryl, the Bohemian
farmer, last May. His confederate,
ALDER Rolly, was executed last
Friday, but Matt was respited until
today. He was attended by two
negro preachers, who sang a hymn
and prayed. He made a long talk
confessing the crime, but did not
seem to think it justified hanging.
He called to the people in the
crowd, causing laughter, by refer
ence to a game Of cards with a
white man, saying his own hand
was stolen, and laughed heartily
himself at the "Reminiscences. He
warned everybody against gamb-
ling and horse racing, and said he
was going to heaven. The drop
fell at noon and the heart beat for
twelve minutes after. Then he was
pronounced dead, and the body
was cut down in fifteen minutes,
and delivered to his friends. He
died gamely.
