ANOTHER LYNCHlNG.
Joseph Hopkins a Negro, Was Hanged at
 Glendora Yesterday.

Minter City, Miss, Dec. %.-Joseph Hop kins, the negro who murdered two white farmers on Christmas day at Glendora, a small inland town near this place, was captured by posse at daylight this morn ing on the James plantation near Swan Lake Hopkins had concealed himself in a gin house but was discovered by two ne groes, who gave the alarm. Hopkins fought like demon before being taken into cus- tody and when arrested it was found that the negro had been shot in three places during the melee. He was not fatally in- jured, however, and was at once taken to the scene of his crime.
 Hopkins confessed his guilt and did not plead for mercy, but begged his captors to make quick work of him and little time was lost in carrying out the instructions. A rope was placed about the negro's neck and he was hanged to a limb. The body was then riddled with bullets and left hanging.
 Hopkins record is a very bad one, many recent crimes being attributed to him.

HE COMMITTEE ACCEPTS Decide To Continue Work on Re-
 duCed Scale. SOME STILL TALK STRIKE And the Recommendation of the Executive Committee May Possibly Be Refused
 By the Operatives Unions.

Fall River. Mass, Dec. H.-The operatives conference committee was in session two hours tonight after executive committee meetings of the various unions had been held. Secretary O'Donnell gave out the fol- lowing resolution which had been unani- mously adopted by the committee:
 Resolved, That we accept the reduction as 1t would not be good business policy on our part to enter into a strike at the present time But we inform our employers that as soon as we think there is a margin of profit sufficient for the restoration of the present scale we shall demand it even if we have to go to the extremity of leaving our employment by going on strike.
 The feeling among the leaders tonight is strong against the reduction. While the committees offer the resolution to the un- ions, there is a possibility they will not ac- cept it. The spinners, slasher tenders and loom fixers especially talk strike, and it Is possible that they may so vote at the meet ing on Thursday night.

DUE TO MISUNDERSTANDING
The Acton of Turkey in Firing on Greek
 Gun Boats.

London, Dec. 29.-The Athens correspond ent of the Daily Chronicle says:
 As the Greek gunboats today Tuesday, were leaving the Gulf of Ambracia they were fired on a second time by all the Prevesa forts. The garrison, which was outlying the quay, also fired repeated vol- leys. though no damage was done. This action after Turkey had apologized, is sup posed to create precedent for closing the gulf.
 The forts at Prevesa fired upon the Greek gunboat Actium on Saturday last as she was leaving the Gulf of Ambracia. The Actium and several other gunboats that were following her were compelled to return to their anchorages. The Greek government instructed the Greek minister at Constantinople to ask the Turkish gov ernment for friendly explanation, and the porte replied that the incident was due to a misunderstanding.
