The Governors Attitude Regarding
the Importation of Negroes.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 14.-Governor
Tanner tonight gave out a lengthy inter-
view to the Associated Press regarding the
situation at Virden and his attitude on the
importation of miners into the State. He
said: MY position has been from the begin
ming, and 1 am now more positive in that
position, emphatically against the importa-
ton of labor into Illinois, not from the
Southern States alone, but from all other
States, because, such pernicious system,
as 1 have said before necessarily brings to
our State and dumps upon society an unde-
sirable class Of citizens and l do not propose
If I can help it, that the State of Illinois
shall be used as dumping ground for the
criminal and idle classes of other countries
or other States. If one, two or three, or
even larger numbers come to our State in
the proper order and in the ordinary way,
seeking honest employment, and the mine
owners see fit to employ them 1 will give
them all the protection necessary to peace
fully operate their mines
THE Chicago-Virden Company has been
an Intentional lawbreaker has sent an
agent to Alabama and by false pretenses in
duces negroes to come here, loading them
on the trains like cattle, locking the doors
Of the cars feeding them like stock, and
procuring the services of armed guards
from a detective agency and invading the
State in an illegal manner"
He says if he had been apprised of the
coming of the train he should have had it
met at the state line with the National
Guard and disarmed and made prisoners of
every man bearing arms. He charges the
owners of the Chicago-Virden mine with
firing on the miners first and with being
lawbreakers and criminally responsible for
the bloodshed of Wednesday and their de-
tectives and guards as guilty of murder
He says he believes they should and will
be indicted by the Macoupin county grand
jury for murder.
Referring to the action of Captain Craig
in searching the train which bore the negro
miners back to VIrden last evening, the
Governor said that Captain Craig had ex-
ceeded his authority. and that he had in
structed Colonel Young. now commanding
at Virden. to not interfere wrrn the opera
tion of the trains nor invade them, but 10
only prevent the unloading of imported
laborers, which unloading would at once
bring about the trouble.
"As I said in the beginning con-
tinued the Governor, lit is not my
purpose, nor has it been from the first. to
discriminate against the negro. The negro
has the Same right under our laws and Con-
stitution as all other classes and nationau-
ties. What l am opposed to is the perni-
cious system of importing labor Perhaps

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, Oct. H.-The
Alexandria police have arrested nine italian
Anarchists since last night and have there
by frustrated a plot against Emperor Will
liam now on his way to the Holy Land to
be present at the conservation of the
Church of the Savior at Jerusalem. The
first to be arrested is cafe keeper, we'll
known Anarchist, in whose house the police
discovered two wire-wound bombs of great
strength, full of bullets This arrest was
made in consequence of a notification from
the Italian consul general at Cairo that two
Anarchists had left Cairo for Port Said.
The police investigation showed that the
arrested cafe keeper had bribed the steward
Of steamer sailing to-day from Alexandria
to Port Said and Syria to take on board a
box of bombs. Apparently the Anarchists
originally intended to use the bombs at the
Palais Abidin, at Cairo while Emperor Will
liam and the Khedive were there. When
the Kaiser decided not to visit Egypt the
Anarchists changed their plans and decided
to attack him in Palestine. The livelest
satisfaction is felt over the smart captures,
and the German consulate has expressed it's
warmest thanks. The two Cairo Anarch-
lists who left for Port Said have not yet
been arrested.

Another iifeboat saved six persons. The
coast at that point is extremely danger

wrecks. Some years ago there was a move

there, but it failed.
A dispatch from Falmouth says the Mohe

ashore by the heavy east wind after hor
machinery was disabled. All the Falmouth
tugs went out, but none was able to an
proach the vessel.

LONDON, Oct. 14.-The situation in Paris
is regarded In well-informed quarters here
as being more serious than at any time
since the Commune. The st. James Gazette
this afternoon says: "A military revolu-
ton, however peaceful, which replaces the
Brisson Cabinet with the nominees of the
generals would imperil the relations be-
tween England and France almost to the
breaking point The semi-official and partly
inspired Paris papers are still pretending
that negotiations are proceeding between
the two governments, and France believes
it, although every body in England knows
the statement to be ridiculous. Even sup
posing Major Marchand is Internationally
withdrawn from Fashoda, the difficulties
with France will by no means end. Behind
it lies the question of Bahr-el-Ghazal. the

toned. There is little doubt that the pot
has been frustrated, but very uneasy feel
ing prevails.
The fact that General De Boisdeffre has
Just undergone an operation for anthrax is
regarded as showing that he had nothing
to do with the conspiracy. On the other
hand, it appears that quite recently the
gendarmerie were withdrawn from the great
towns of Normandy and Picardy to Paris,
because, it may be assumed, this fine body,
under orders from the prefect Of police
and the minister of the interior, can be
put in movement without first proclaiming
a state of siege.
A reliable estimate Of the troops recently
brought to the capital on account of the
strike puts the number now here or within
easy distance at 10000 men.

LONDON, Oct. 15.--The Paris correspond
ent of the Times says: 1T is impossible to
obtain clear proofs of the existence Of a
plot. I believe, however, that the idea of
some act Of force haunts certain military
minds. Maddened and stung by violent
criticisms of the army arising out of the
Dreyfus affair, they are especially irritated
at the attitude Of the civilians in claiming
to interfere in the detention of Colonel
Picquart, for which the entire military au-
thority is responsible. Looking to the ex-
cited state of mems minds at the present
time of conflict between the military and
civil authorities, it is only surprising that
such alarms are not more frequent

WARRANTS FOR OPERATORS.

VIRDEN, ILL.,, Oct. 14-As a result of a
meeting held by a number of union miners
during which the terrible fight of Wednes-
day was discussed, warrants have been
sworn out by Virgil Bishop, union miner,
charging the managers of the Virden-Chi-
cago Coal Company, Messrs. Lukens,
Loucks, Yorke and others. with murder.

union miners. The warrants were sworn

Magistrate Roberts put the warrants in

ries them around with him. At first 1t was
decided TO serve the warrants to-day. but
after deliberation 1t was thought best to
avoid complications to hold them until after
the inquest has been completed. This de-
cision was strengthened when Magistrate
Roberts. who is foreman of the coroners
jury. began to-day's session of the inquest
within the stockade. Colonel Young stated
that on his suggestion the warrants will
not be served for the present. In the mean
time no one will be allowed to leave the
stockade. and the colonel considers the
men under his charge for safe keeping.

Until Col. Hay arrives to assume the

Wherever there is a chance to make

Port au Prince, Haiti, to the Depart

discovered in the northern section Of
this republic. A concession has been
obtained from the government to mine
the same, and an American Company is
being formed for this purpose.
The good offices Of this government
are being exercised in a strong effort to
prevent Chilli and Argentina going to
war over a boundary dispute, and it
has suggested to the governments Of
both countries that they carry out an
agreement signed by their diplomatic
representatives, to submit the dispute
to the arbitration Of Queen Victoria,
Those most familiar with the situation

prevent it.
