oENouNcE THE LYNcHlNo5.
CoIored People Advocate Stringent Feder-
al LegislaIion.

COlOrCd IeOpie AuNOchte NtTAhBthh
al Legislation.
New York. June 15-The Afro-Amen-
can community in New York is stirred
up over the recent outbreaks Of lynch
ings in both south and north, and in all
the colored churches the subject is being
discussed. The negroes look to their
ministers to take the lead in all public
movements and the ministers are con-
templating calling mass-meeting to
protest against the outbreak of lawless-
ness and to advocate stringent federal
legislation to protect the negro.
Rev. r. NJ. Franklen of the Zion Afi-
can Methodist Episcopal church says
the sentiment fthe cMored community
here is that the federal government
should step in to protect the southern
negro. THE state laws are too lax,
he says, "and there seems to beno desire
to enforce them. No punishment is ever
inflicted upon the lynchers and we are
helpless. Even IN the north the state or
affairs seem to be almost as bad as In
the south. The governor of Ohio could
have stopped the Urtana lynching had
he wished to do so. President Mckinley
prevented similar affair when he was
governor, and IL is the duty Of the feder-
al government to intervene when the
state authorities show themselves un-
willing or powerless to protect citizens.
Rev. j. s. Cott of the Zion Baptist
church thinks the only way TO stop
lynchings is the passage of alaw COM
pelling the county in which lynching
occurs to pay heavy indemnity to the
relatives OF the victim. Il am convinced
that the lynchers are not the best citi-
zens, as we are usually told they are.
but the real best citizens are apathetic.
They will cease to be so when they hnd
themselves taxed to pay indemnities for
the acts fthe lawless element. Every
thing is against the negro criminal. He
is tried by a white jury, sentenced by a
white Judge, and hanged by white
sheriff All the negro asks Is that the
law be allowed to take its course. The
race prejudice in the south is not based
on what the negro is today, but the fear
of what he will be fifty years hence.
We were turned loose thirty-three years
ago with $4,000. Today we own many
millions. Where will we be in fifty
years more? That is what is worrying
the southern white man."

Three Young Women Killed While Re-
turning from Church.

Bellare, o.. June 1.-THE lives Of
three young ladies were blotted out
Sunday evening by lightning while they
were on their way home from the NJ.
T.. church at Jacobsburg. The victims
were Minnie Mcclure, daughter of Rev.
Thomas Mcclure; Alpa Taylor, daugh-
ter of William Taylor, and Emma
White, daughter of Simon White, all
aged about 10 years. Sarah Bohring
was badly stunned and may die. They
were residents of Jacobsburg, village
on the Bellaire, GAINESVILLE and Cincin-
natl railway, eleven miles west Of this
city, and were walking together in the
road, about one hundred yards from the
church, when they were struck by the
lightning.
1t is believed that the steel corsets
worn by the three that were killed were
the chief cause Of their death, as Miss
Bohring, who was only stunned, wore
none.

ATTEMPT TO KILL FAURE.
The Occurrence Does Not Cause Much OF a
Sensation.


Sensation.
Paris, June 15.-Presdent Faure was
fired upon at o'clock Sunday after
noon opposite the Grande Cascade, in
the Bos de Boulogne, while going to the
Longchamps races to see the Grand
Prix. No one was hurt. Nine. Faure,
General Hagron and Colonel Menetrez
of the presidents military household
were in the carriage with NJ. Faure. The
shot came from among the shrubbery.
The attempt on the life of M. Faure
did not create a very deep impression
on the people in Paris, owing TO the
trivial character of the bomb used, but
there was a continual stream all even
ing OF ambassadors. ministers and
prominent people to the Elysee to con-
gratulate the president on his escape.
The Figaro says that NJ. Lepine. the
prefect of police, refuses TO believe in
the reality of the attempt. He things 1t
was the work of a crazy man or OF
hoaxer.
Searches will be made at the resi-
dences of all anarchists known to the
police on whom suspicion could fall. The
President of the French republic was
on his way to Longchamps to see the
Grand Prix when the attempt was made
to assassinate him. NJ. Faure's carriage
was just passing near the Restaurant
de la Grande Cascade, in the Bois de
Boulogne when the bomb was thrown.
The Internal machine, or whatever 1t
was subsequently proved to be piece
of tubing about inches long and
inches in diameter, with a thickness or
half an inch, charged with powder and
swan shot. 1t exploded with terrific
noise. A man i'm the crowd who was
acting suspiciously as the carriage
passed by shouting loudly was arrested.
He is thought to be insane. At any
rate he escaped. The news spread rap
idly through Paris. and when the pres
ident returned TO the Elysee the streets
along the route were crowded with peo-
pie, who cheered him enthusiastically.

HAW AHAN ANNEXATION
The Treaty Is To Be Sent in This
Session.
WE WILL PAY THE ISLANDS DEBT,

And Thus the Little Ocean Republic viii
Come into the Union on Whatever
Terms This Government Wishes to Die
tate-Senator Allen Wants To Know
Why the Federal Law VIII Not Serve To
Curb the Sugar Men.
Washington, June Ia treaty for
the annexation of Hawaii to the United
States will be sent TO the senate soon
after the return of the presids.t unless
present plans are altered. The treaty
has been written and all its details were
agreed upon before the president and
Secretary Sherman left for the south.
There is no doubt, it is said, of the
presidents acquiescence in the terms of
the treaty for the reason that he was
made fully aware of them before he
left. The treaty is on the general lines
of the treaty negotiated during the ad-
ministration of President Harrison and
withdrawn by President Cleveland. 1t
provides for annexation without the ex-
action of conditions on the part of the
Hawaiians as to the form of govern
ment to be vouchsafed to Hawaii, leav-
ing that question to be entirely disposed
of by the government of the United
States.
Will Assume the Debt.
The United States will agree, how
ever, to assume the debt of the present
Hawaiian government. but will come
into possession of all the Hawaiian
crown lands and other possessions. Sew
eral senators have received definite in
formation concerning the existence of
the treaty, and are we'll acquainted with
its terms, though they refuse to discuss
the matter, having received the informa-
tion in confidence. The knowledge of
the existence Of the treaty has been
communicated TO members of the COM
mittee on foreign relations and also to
members Of the finance committee. The
senate has been canvassed TO certain
extent by senators favoring annexation,
and while there are some senators who
are non -committal, the supporters of
the proposition say they believe that
they can count upon the two thirds vote
necessary TO insure ratification.
