Mr.. White then tried to limit the duties

Mr.. Mantle appealed to his protection

Platt declined, saying it was a move to
embarrass the whole bill.
Mr.. Allison declined, saying the asser-

was merely a repetition of the unfounded
assertions on other schedules.
Mr.. Morgan (Alabama) declared that
the tariff bill marked the entry of the
United States upon a fierce and relent-

the world. He regretted it particularly
as to Japan, just as she was joining

not outrage the sense of fairness of the

Governor of Florida"
CABINET CONSIDERING REQUEST

Washington, June 25.-This afternoon
the Governor of Florida telegraphed
President Mckinley that riot is threat
ened at Key West and asked him that,
in view of the distance of Key West from
the mainland and the difficulty in get
ting State troops to the scene of the trou-
BILE in time to be of any avail to instruct
the commander of the Federal troops
there to act. The President replied to
the Governor stating the law in the case
and asking for particulars. Secretary
Alger has telegraphed to the commandant
of the post at Key West asking for tele-
graphic advices giving the exact situa-
ton. The action to be taken will de-
pend upon the response of these inquiries.
The request of the Governor for the
assistance of the Federal troops was
discussed at a conference at the White
House tonight. There were present
General Brock of the army. The con-
ference lasted until after eleven o'clock.
Secretary Alger stated there had been
nothing further received from Key West
bearing on the situation and in the alb
sence of any information no action has
yet been taken ON the Governors re-
quest. There are now two companies of
artillery and one or more of infantry sta
toned at that point.

Key West, Fla, June 25.-For forty
eight hours this city has been on a verge
of race war. Mrs. Maggie Atwell,
white, was ravished on Wednesday af-
ternoon by Sylvanus Johnson, colored,
who was promptly identified and jailed.
Two unsuccessful attempts were made
by white men yesterday to lynch him
and these efforts greatly enraged the
blacks. AS measure of precaution a
gainst an outbreak of either side the
Island City guards, the local militia
company, slept in their armory last
night. Late in the evening the negroes
openly threatened to burn the city and
kill the white inhabitants, surrounded
the county Jail and the armory and be-
gan to discharge fire arms promiscuously.
VIM. Gardner, a highly respected white
citizen was killed by bullet. James
Sawyer, another white man was beaten
senseless by the blacks. No further out
breaks have occurred to-day. The mill
tia took their guns from the armory this
morning and tonight are at the city hall,
while 200 citizens sworn in as deputy
sheriffs and the soldiers at the United
States barracks, are ready to assist the
militia.
FEDERAL TROOPS ASKED FOR.
Tallahassee, Fla, June 25.-Upon re-
ceipt of telegram from Key West about
noon to-day, Adjutant General Houston,
Immediately wired to the Key West
militia company to report at once to sher-
iff Knight for duty, and Governor Blox-
ham telegraphed to President McKin-
ley as follows:
THE sheriff at Key West wires me as
follows:
"A negro prisoner is in Jail, charged
with rape on white woman. An attempt
was made to lynch him. The negroes
are greatly enraged and threaten to burn
the city and kill the whites. A large num-
ber of negroes last night surrounded the
jail and court house squares and about
IL O'Clock the negroes began firing rifles
and pistols, killing one white man and
several others are reported wounded.
Great excitement prevails and serious
trouble is impending tonight. [ request
you to order the Key West military COM
pany to our assistance, but am afraid
that one company will be powerless be-
fore mob of infuriated blacks, and |
ask that you request the President of the
United States to order the commanding
officer of the United States troops sta
toned here to come to the assistance of
the civil authorities if needed to save
life and property. No State troops can
reach Key West sooner than Sunday
night"
Similar requests were wired by the
county judge, circuit clerk, immigration
inspector and two justices of the peace.
Owing to the distance of Key West from
the mainland l can furnish only the one
company in Key West and make appli-
cation for the assistance of the United
States troops if necessary at the urgent
request of the officials and citizens of
Key West.
