Company H. Of Monmouth, slept on
their arms all night Thursday, in
their respective armories, ready to
move TO Fulton at . moments notice.
They were first wired by Gov. Tan
ner to ''report ct once equipped with
ball cartridges to Gen. Reece 1t Full
ton, and at all cost, but later on the
telegraphic advice of Lieut.. Gov.
Northcott, the order was given to
the companies TO hold themselves in
readiness for further orders. The
companies should have been in Full
ton at 5 O'Clock Thursday afternoon,
and martial Law declared from shat
time. The mob that Mayor Schwab
is not seeking to defend. would then

later Ocssn s9rssa.
The Chicago Inter- Ocean today
ridicules Lieut.. Gov. Northcott for
calling the troops to Fulton, and
speaks of the whole matter in the
light Of huge joke on the second to
the highest state official and the head
of the order. There were plenty OF
passengers on the train that night
who will tell story 40 to the wild
temperament of the hoodlums who
surrounded the depot, and il there Ia
any fault to be found with Mr..
NorthcOtt it is for hesitating % long
as he did In calling for the
militia. and for giving it the ap-
Pearance OF a premature move
after he did Issue the call in counter
manding it. MIR. Northcott shonld
have had the militia on the scene be-
fore night fell. After the crisis came
he should have infested upon the
troops taking charge of the town.
Disaster Re sure to attend the at
tempt to conciliate such . class OF
people. and the man who undertakes
to make peace with them will get the
worst end of it every time. Both he
and Gen. Reece were placed in ieop-
ardy, and there is no reason to be
polite or conservative under such
circumstances. The militia alone
restored order. and there should
have been no backward step until
every one of the rowdies was in the
hands Of the law on two charges. one
OF riot and the other of contempt of
the pending Injunction.
Getting In shspo.
Two more carloads Of Woodmen
head Office effects arrived from
Fulton last night, and the
property Is being conveyed
to the quarters in the Industrial
Home building today. Two more
carloads are expected tonight. All
is hustle at the temporary headquar-
ters. Everything will be in readi-
ness next week.

He wanted to know whether this was
not an attempt to have the meagre
remnant Of convention at its clos

then he would vote against the reso-

Japanese Soldiers in Hawaii

San Francisco, September 22.-If the
stories of passengers and crew Of the
steamship City Of Peking, which ar
rived here from Hong Kong via Hon.
olulu on Tuesday evening be true, a
state Of affairs exists in Hawaii which
demands the attention Of the state de-
partment. When the City of Peking
arrived at Honolulu, the attention of
the other passengers on board that
steamer was attracted by the remark
ably symmetrical movements Of ia
japanese steerage passengers who were
disembarking.
Although classed as laborers, their
we'll drilled and military appearance
was too palpablle to escape observa-
ton and occasioned considerable COM
ment.
The japanese were apparently under
the command of a veteran sergeant and
divided into squads Of twenty under
non-commissioned officers. During the
voyage a military discipline was OBJ
served which created comment among
the other steerage passengers and
steamers crew and many conjectures
were hazaded as to the meaning Of

was generally believed that they were
sent there for the purpose Of forcibly
resisting annexation il necessary. Ru-
mors OF the presence Of the Mikado'S
soldiers are not new on the island. 1t
is said that over 1,000 well-drilled men
have already been landed there and
about 400 veterans Of the Japan-China
war are expected up on the next
steamer.

sent Mr.. Winder do not prevent proper
control Of convicts, but require that the
officers shall be republicans. In other
words, our board is looking after inter-
ests of our party and also those Of the
convicts, to prevent and possibility Of
inhuman treatment"
John II. Winder was interviewed and
said: II am not able to bid under the
resolutions which the board adopted
today. The board wants to appoint all
persons in charge of the convicts. 1t
calls now for proposals to take all the
convicts from the hands Of the state,
these proposals to be opened October
18th, when the board again meets"
A. Y. Sigmon, a member OF the board,
said he and r. r. Gotten favored leas-
ing the convicts at once and accept
ing Winder's proposal, but other mem
bers outvoted them. He says Clark, of
Halifax, was out Of the room when the
vote was taken.
Dockery says regarding Kirby Smith
that he was simply supervisor of the
criminal insane ward under DR.. Kirby,
and that Gotten stated to the board
that he thought his conduct resulted
simply from excessive drinking.
DR.. Kirby Smith has resigned, it is
said, but not to the board of directors.
The latter did not appoint him. His
father made the appointment. The
board ordered a full investigation made
by the October meeting into the terri
BILE charges against Smith of Illicit re-
lations with the two white criminal in
sane women. Williams, the man in
charge of the female criminal insane
ward, resigned this morning and this
also went to superintendent Smith who
appointed him also.
