The President Anxious TO Have Cons
gress Pass a Relief Measure.
washington. April 3.-President McF1in-
ley to-day telegraphed the governors OF
Arkansas. Louisiana and Mississippi ask
ing forAnformation as to the extent Of the
suffering caused by the prevailing floods.
kilograms poured in on the President
all the morning asking for assistance. IL
has been decided that the emergency ap-
proprlation OF $4,000 for the repair OF
ievees canot be used for any other pur-
pose and the President thinks something
should be done by the government to re-
lieve the people. For some years past
congress has been opposed TO granting
money for the assistance OF the sufferers
from floods and other causes, believing that
the various states should look out for their
own people. Federal relief has been ex-
tended mostly through the distribution OF
tents and blankets by the war DEPART
ment When the Information desired from
the governors Of the states named has been
received It IL probable that the President
will ask congress to do something.
Already Mr. Mckinley has consulted with
Gen. Wilson, the chief Of engineers. and
they are endeavoring to devise some plan
whereby the suffering can be relieved.
The President received an answer from
the governor Of Mississippi this afternoon.
The governor said that the state authori-
ties had the relief measures weil In hand.

CLIMAX WAS TO BE THE SCENE OF
THE CLASH.

Angered by an Arrest Negroes Were
Reported to Have Decided to Fire
the Town and shoot the White
Folks as They Emerged From
Their Blazing DweIIings--A supply
OF winchester Rifles and the Press
ence OF the Sheriff Pncihes the Sit
untion.
Balnbrldge, Ga. April S.--The village OF
Climax, nine miles east OF cambridge, on
the Savannah. Florida and Western rail-
road was wild with excitement today
over rumors OF riot between the races
About four weeks ago a negro boy, about
20 years old, was guilty OF visiting the
Dollar school house, in the neighborhood
Of Climax, and insisted on running after
some of the school girls. AS soon as 1t
was learned that he was guilty of this
conduct a few of the citizens got hold of
him and gave him sound fogglng.
This act enraged some of the negroes.
Early this week Sheriff Patterson sent
a warrant to the bailiff at Climax for a
negro boy, who had stolen bicycle, and
when he attempted to arrest him the ne
gro ram In order to frighten him, the
in the air.
This was like throwing bombshell In
their camp, and the negroes held meetings
declaring that they would march TO Gle
max In a body and burn the houses of the
white people and shoot them down as they
left the burning buildings
AS Is usually the case, one of the me-
groes came out of the meeting and played
informer. The white citizens of the VII
lage were not slow to act when 1t was
known what the negroes contemplated.
Sheriff Patterson and Deputy United
States Marshal E.P. Willis were telegraph
ed for and at once proceeded to the scene
Of the excitement. The Afternoon vest
bound passenger train brought about fifty
Winchester rifles.
This made the negroes think the white
people meant business and this. with the
presence of Sheriff Patterson, whose name
Is a terror 70 evil-doers, had much to do
with quieting the riot and tonight quiet
reigns.

RIOT OVER POLITICS.
Police Take Advantage of 1t to
Avenge Private GrudGes.

Huntington, w. Va. April "A scene
unparalleled in the history Of Huntington
was witnessed on the leading thoroughfare
of the city at II o'clock this morning
1t was riot between democrats and re-
publicans, the result of Thursdays city
elections.
The fight began between DR.. L. e. Sage.
the republican leader. and George Ingram.
the democratic leader. In five minutes. hf-
ty people became involved, and knives and
clubs were used with telling effect on both
sides. Women, who were on the street, fed
for their lives and riot reigned supreme
for half an hour.
The police rushed in and used their clubs
on the heads of private citizens against
whom they had personal grudges, but did
not try to quell the disturbance. Matters
finally quieted down, but another out
break is expected at any moment.
It is not believed that any of the injured
win die.

Ed e. Richardson, manager Of the prop
erty here, had a narrow escape by the fire
