ILLINOIS'S SCHOOL TROUBLE.
Attempt 10 Separate White and ColOred
Children Resisted,


Alton. Ills. Sept. 2i-The city au-
thorities have taken hand in the sep
arate school question. The chief Of
police was instructed to take his entire
night and day force and keep the col
ored children and their parents out Of
the white schools. For time it seemed
that this policy would precipitate seri-
GUS trouble. Policemen were stationed
at each Of the schools, and when the
colored people came with their chill
dren and sought to enter as they had
the day before, the officers stood at the
doors and refused them admittance ut
the Washington school, which Is in n
portion OF the city where the colored
people outnumber the whites.
The negroes congregated upon hill
back of the school house and held n
consultation. They decided to attempt
to put the children into the school in
spite of the officers, and marched over
to the school yard. For a time 1t
seemed that trouble could only be
averted by permitting the negroes to
enter, but the police held their ground.
and threatened to arrest any one who
should attempt to enter the school
against orders.
The men and women then remained
at n distance and urged the children
to go in. Some of them attempted It.
but they We're sent back by the police
and none were successful save a few
boys who climbed in at the windows
while the officers guarded the doors.
They were promptly dislodged, and the
colorcd people then retired again to
the hill back Of the school house. where
they remained several hours and then
returned to their homes.
At the Irving and Lincoln schools
the same scenes We're enacted.
A committee Of three colored men,
accompanied by their attorney, then
called upon President Fink of the
school board and asked him If It was
the intention of the board to persist in
the policy of excluding the colored chill
drcn from the schools attended by the
whites. Mr.. Fink assured them that
such was the intention of the board.
The colorcd people then held another
meeting and instructed three of their
number to go to Springfield and meet
General Palmer, who had wired them
that he would assist hem In an effort
to secure in the federal court a man
damus compelling the city authorities
to permit the negroes to attend school
with the white children.
The negroes insist that the law is on
their side and fatty refuse to send their
children to the schools built for them.
| The supreme court decision In similar
cases Mt Galesburg, Quincy and Upper
| Alton encourages them in the belief
that they will triumph in the courts.

EXPLOSION.
BLEW A MULE TWO HUNDRED YARDS.


ST. Louis. Mo. Sept PA special to
the Post Dispatch from Marion, ILL.,,
says:
An explosion, terrible in its effects,
occurred in the Williamson County
Coal compsny's mine. four miles north
of here, shortly after midnight this
morning. Fifteen wounded miners,
two of whom have since died, have
been rescued from the smoke and
flames, while one was found dead
when the rescuing party went down
the shaft.
Several OF tine wounded are so Sc
verely crushed and otherwise hurt
that they win die.
There are said TO be five or six min
ers still imprisoned in the burning
mine. but they cannot be reached on
account OF the SMOKE and fire. These
men are no doubt dead before this
time, as there Is no means of escape
for them, the mine not having been
provided with the usual cscapement
shaft. Everything that can be done
by the mine managers to rescue them
or force fresh air from the top OF the
shaft to them, Is being rcsorted to.
Most of the killed and wounded are
Russians and Italians, and 1t is i'm
possible to get their names at this
hour, owing to the great excitement
and confusion about the mine. The
force of the explosion was tremendous,
as IT blew one of the mules over 200
yards along the main entry and into
the big dump at the bottom of the
shaft, which Is $50 feet deep.
The cages are being run up and
down the shaft as fast as the engines
can force them for the purpose OF con-
fining the flames in the entries and
preventing them from coming up the
of the buildings at the mouth of the
pit.
The explosion was no doubt caused
by natural gas, of which there is good
deal in this mine. taking fire from the
miners lamps when they descended as
they started for work this morning.
