Threatening Letters.

innate friend of the Endioott family, but
who naturally declines to allow his namo
TO be used, said that the secretary has been
guarded constantly by half.a dozen detect
Ives over since he landed in this country.
He Says that this guard IS the outcome Of
threatening letters received by the British
government from friends Of the alleged
iynamiters, intlmating that Mr. Cham
berlain would be followed. so tho English
authorities made ample preparations for a
strong guard to protect him.
Uncle SAM too, has had fear, and has
been prompt to extend q protecting hos
pitality TO the visitor, independent of
whatever steps he might have taken him
self or any plans mad0 by the English
government for the safety OF her minister
Mrs. Endicott, mother Of Mrs Cham
berlain, said that soon after Joseph Cham
berlain's arrival in Danvers tho United
States government at Washington received
such information as to cause the secret
service department to send detectives for
bis protection, and that they had been
about the place ever since.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Chamberlain,
knowing in advance, from information re-
oeived from the Scotland Yard authorities,
that plot had been discovered and that
public sensation was TO follow, quietly left
England and came 60 America. And IL Is
supposed that, being kept informed of the
later developments in the conspiracy and
possessing information which neither tho
American press nor people could know, he
deemed it wise TO guard against any at
tack upon himself.

OPELoUsAs, La, April 4.--This
parish was in a state of terror
during the day and conflicts be-
tween opposing political factions
are expected every moment. Every
man is armed to the teeth, and it
is not an uncommon scene to see a
man walking along the streets
with a gun over his shoulder.
Within the past two weeks
several lives have been sacrificed
for politics, and a butchery is not
altogether unexpected. The colored
man is keeping in the background
and it is the white factions which
are fighting each other. The situa-
ton seemed desperate tonight and
general riot was anticipated. To
quell the disturbed feeling ex-
listing Governor Foster has been
called on to call out the state
militia, and is expected to do so,
and unless he does, blood will Ger.
tainly be spilled within the next
twenty-four hours.
