Henderson, KY, Nov. li.-Seven negroes
are in danger of being lynched here today.
Last night three masked negroes entered
the store of Lang & Metzner, and after com-
pelling Louis Metzner to hold up his hands
the leader SHOT him four times.
At O'Clock this morning the negroes.
one OF whom was Dave Powell. an ex-con-
vict. were arrested in bed with pistols
under their pillows. Four chambers or
Peweils gun were empty
The people are very much excited and as
there are four other negroes in jail who par
ticipated in the murder of Officer White at
owensboro, the prospects are good for ii
wholesale lynchins.
The officers will try to get the negroes
out OF town, but big crowd which is
gathered around the jail and courthouse
threatens to take the prisoners away from
the Officers a : soon as the attempt is made
to remove them. MetZner will die.

IMMIGRANTS IN ONE YEAR
Annual Report, with Figures,
By the Commissioner.
BETTER CLASS OF ARRIVALS
They Brin. N Large Amount OF Cash
and They Are Able to support
Themselves from the start.
Nearly Three Thousand of Them
Sent Back.

The annual report of the Commissioner
General OF Immigration, made public to-
day, conceals within its statistical tables
some interesting data Tor the student OF
economic questions and politicians
The total arrivals daring the fiscal year
aggregated 3I3,2GT, an increase OF of,-
7Os over the preceding year. OF this
total $40, ,4GS were landed and 2,I9s were
debarrcd and dcporIcd at the expense OF
the various steamship lines by which they
came to this country.
OF those deported, 7I6 were under con
tract to perform labor in the United
States; made prior to their arrival, ana
2,O23 were returned, as belonging TO the
classes of aliens, prohibited adniltttnce by
the act of March 5, 1891.
In addition to the above debarred i'm
migrants, there were returned during the
same period to the countries whence they
respectively came, 23s. who had become
public chaI yes within one year after their
arrival in the United states.
TAkECARE OF THEMSEL YES.
The report calls attention TO the fact
that no immigrant landed in this country
within the past year is now a burden upon
any public or private institution.
With some exceptions, the commissioners
SAYS, the physical characteristics OF the
years immigration were those of hardy,
sound laborlng class, accustomed and ap-
parently well able to earn livelihood
wherever capable and Industrious labor
can secure employment.
As to occupations, it was composed largely
of the classes designated as skilled and un-
skilled laborers, with some professionals.
The amount of money brought into the coun-
try by Immigrants was at least 81, ,9lT 81 &,
and probably was largely in excess of these
figures, since only those havinglcSs than $50
are required to disclose the exact amounts
they have, respectively.
comparison Of the figures OF the past
year with the average annual immi grafton
for the preceding ten years, discl0ses a de-
crease Of over Fl per cent, and the large
number who annually return to their OWL
country leads Commi Ssioner Stump to
doubt seriously that there has been any ma
tenal increase in our foreign-bOrn popu-
lation since 500.

RUSSIA GETS THE CREDIT

The maintain that X Russia, acting through
France. is the country that deserves the
credit for forcing the sultan to understand
that he must mend his ways, and do some
thing besides making promises that he
never intends To fulfill
If this is really the case, there is little
room to doubt that there will be a radical
change in the Turkish policy, for Russia
is really the only power of which the sui
tan sta ndS in fear. Great Britain may blow
and bluster, but the ruler of Turkey well
knows that she is utterly impOtent to do
anything more than make threats, and she
is not threatening now US much as she did a
year ago.
With Russia, however, it is differ
ent matter. She has done no threatening,
and for that reason the sultan knows she
all the more dangerous. OF course, it hurts
British pride to know that Russia, acting
through France, has been able to accom-
plish more with the sultan than has she,
Turkeys self-constituted protector, and it
may be that 1t is this feeling of injury
that leads official circles here to believe
that what England could not accomplish
would also be impossible for France.
But the fact remains that it was to NJ.
HanotauX, the French foreign minister
that the sultan first promised the granting
Of reforms more sweeping in their nature
than those promised to Great Britain
months ago, not one of which was ever
put into effect, and that already some
being carried out. Time alone will tell
whether the sultan is now honest in his
professions, but il it be true that Russia
is prodding him, the chances are that he
wilt have to be honest in spite of his own
desires.

London, Nov. 14.-Endeayoring to OBJ
tain from local sources further Information
regarding the impending faminein Ireland,
a representative of the United Associated
Presses learned that, although the local
Irish authorities reported on the failure
OF the crops in many districts, the official
view was that no serious or widespread
famine was anticipated. A leading board
of trade official, who is in a position 10
know SAID that there would be distress OF
a severe kind in many districts, but no
actual famine.
There can be no really extensive famine
in Ireland, Ihe arrangements FOR relief hay-
ing been so perfected that the central au-
thorities in Dublin can assist the local au-
thorities mt almost a moment notice. Into
the question OF the suspension OF rent pay
menis by the farmers the officials inter
viewed declined to go.

DROPS DESTROYED

From other sources IL can tie affirmed that
the Dublin castle authorities have been
warned of the wholesale refusal OF the
smaller farmers to pay their rent, on
the simple ground OF inability. Their
crops have been destroyed, and they have
nothing to pay rent with. There has been
up till now a remarkable absence of agrar-
ian crime in ireland. When the pinch OF
winter comes, IL is feared that the old
record Of outrage will be renewed. unless
landlords mold .n-ir hands ana cease prose
cutiOns and evictions.
Notwithstanding the fact that the sultan
has promised to execute sweeping reforms
throughout his dominions his promises are
still looked at askance by those here who
have had experience Of lis artfulness and
lack of good intention, and this in spite OF
the fact that orders have already been given
for the putting into effect of some of the re-
forms promised.
The iubilation among the newspapers
over the restoration Of the concert
of the powers, which ii is claimed
here is responsible for the pressure
brought TO bear upon the sultan, hich conn
PEELED him to grant the reforms, may be
short-lived. Cynical observers OF the Sit
uation do not place much faith in the claims
that Great Britain had prominent part
in III concert.

Foreign need of American wheat con-
