ILLINOIS sent thousands of soldiers
TO the South to free the negroes and
enable them 10 compete on equal terms
with the white labor of their State.
That State also gave President Mckin-
ley large majority, and has two re-
publican Senators and seventeen re-
publican representatives in Congress.
But, for all this, its white miners at
tack train loads OF Southern negroes
who come there to work, and its re-
publican Governor says no negro la
6orers shall come there. But there is
nothing new that hasn't been old.
Before the war between the States, no
free negroes were allowed to enter the
Safe OF Illinois.

FROM WASHINGTON.

correspondence OF the Aexandris Gazette.
WASHINGTON. Oct. II.
Major L. l.. Seaman, of New York,
Surgeon in the First United States vol
unteer engineers, who recently made
such severe charges concerning the
conduct of the Porto Rican campaign,
appeared before the War Investigating
Com mission this morning. He was &C.
companied by his friend. Mr.. Ernest
Ayrault, an attorney OF New York city.
The commissioners were not disposed
to permit Mr. Ayrault to remain in the
room. "a brief executive session was
held and then it was decided TO permit
him to remain.
Ga taking the stand DR.. Seaman de.
Glued to be sworn, remarking, II af-
frm."
"All right" said General Dodge.
"Stand up"
Il don't have to stand" reioined
Major Seaman. He sat in his chair
while the words of the oath were ad-
ministered
The Major while waiting in the anti
room, in the course OF q conversation
with the representatives OF the press
stated that be had left an anatomy
in Porto Rico, and he wans't feeling
we'll He looks very thin, as though
be had been through terrible siege.
General Beaver commenced the ex-
animation. The first part of it was of
no general interest, except that Major
Seaman stated that while stationed at
Camp Townsend, New York, the COM
mand was promptly and most literally
supplied with all that was needed. He
then told all about the emharkation of
his regiment for Porto Rico on the
Chester. The trip was without incident
snd the fare consisted of the usual
army rations. There were no COM
plants on the way down. General
Beaver asked him about the landing of
the troops in Porto Rico, and the an
sHers..were not of public interest, as he
made no charges that amounted to any,
thing. What be said related chiefly 10
the location of the camps, the water
supply, equipment, etc., and Majo
Seaman was no. disposed to fad
fault with any OF these arrangements.
Major Seamen said he obtained the
supplies for the convalescent men from
the Red Cross and National Relief So
cieties. He got his regular s15 days
travel rations, but they were not sui;s,
BILE for the men. Down in Porto Rico
he heard general complaint that the
retions were not such as the men want
ed. There was an oversupply of meats,
but q lack of rice, potatoes, etc. He
could not commute the 60 cents dsy
allowed at the hospitals. He discussed
these matters with Surgeons Greenleaf,
Snowden and Birmingham, and the
understanding was that his presump-
ton was correct.
During the examination no reference
WIS made by any of the commissioners

the republican politicians like
Grosvenor told him that if he
didn't favor a war. the republican party
would be busted" let him avow it
frankly aud not sicken Us al with this
cant about humanity. Humanity is the
very plea and mission of Christ. 1t Is
not cant. It is something mora and
nobler than the shifty tricks OF party
expediency or lying catch words. The
people have stood together in the war,
North and South, says the President.
Who kept them apart but the republi-
can leaders, for long years, with Mcklr.
ley and his force bill 10 the front, bayo-
nets and passion, abuse and falsehood,
and oppression ofthe South? Where was
the humanity in all this? Where is
the humanity" of putting negroes in
Federal offices in the South and shut
ting the door on them in Ohio and all
over the North? Is this humanity or
paving of Hanna's debts at St. Louis?
We must act together till we get peace,
he tells us. We have peace now, so
long as poor helpless Spain is concern
ed, but the people have no peace, no
lei up from Mr.. McKinley's tax gath
erer3 and leeches in the Treasury, no
peace from his gold trust, or his many
cruel monopolies, and no nope ola just,
merciful, humane and free government
save by the triumph Of the democratic
party. The people are not afraid Of
Spain and they never were afraid
WHAT they have cause to be afraid OF
is the extor;ioner, the tax gstherer, the
oluuderer, the corruptionists and the
Hannas of herepublican party, who by
corruption and wicked devices have
struck at their freedom and happiness.
The cunning eye of the President
cannot observe this issue. He wants
no trial at the polls now, but con-
tinusnce. This and the abb are the
natural devices of criminals who fear
to face the truth.

The Miners.

VIRDEN, Ill, Oct. 14-Morning
dawned here without the appearance of
the new load OF negroes, although AS
sistsnt Secretary York, of the zoal COM
parry, who is with the negroes wired
Governor Tanner last night that he
would bring them into Yirden before
morning if il cost the life of every man
on the train. The soldiers are having
a bard time getting rations. Early this
morning q freight train struck a
torpedo placed by the soldiers,
and the engineer refused to stop.
Several shots in the direction of
the engine brought him to time.
The train was quickly searched but
70 negroes were found. 1t is feared
the negroes may be rushed in here some
time to-day. II they come, serious
trouble and considerable bloodshed
will ensue. Manager Lukins would
hardly have one chance in 800 to escape
alive il ne should attempt to leave the
stockade. The miners make no secret
OF the fact that in their number are many
men who would not be:itate to kill
him. Lukins is taking good care to
keep out Of the reach of the men, and
no one is allowed to get near him un.
less the deputies and detectives are
sure of this purpose.
YIRDES, Ill.,, Oct. 14.-Warrants for
murder were issued to-day against
Manager Lukins. Presiding Loucks and
several others connected directly and
indirectly with Wednesdays killing.
PANA, Illinois, October 14.-Goy.

guard be put over each of the coal
mines and that under no circumstances
will any imported negroes be permitted
to land in Pana.

The MINERS TROUBLES. dis.
patch from Virdep, H., says: Fourteen
dead and twenty-five wounded is the
terrible record Of the desperate encoun-
ter between the striking miners and
the deputy sherifs on Wednesday.
Yesterday passed without another
outbreak of violence, but, aside from
the restraining influence of the militia
no progress has been made toward per-
manent peace. The idle miners are
excitable and determined. while the
Chicago Virden Coal Company has
shown no sign OF a purpose to abandon
its plan of operating its mines with i'm
ported negroes.
While martial law has not been de-
clared, the town is virtually under con-
troll OF the State troops, under Captain
Craig, of Battery B, First Illinois artil-
lery.
Upon arrival of the soldiers from
Pana, Ill.,, two gatling guns were taken
to the public square, where they com
mand the business section. Guards
were thrown out, and the remainder OF
the soldiers were quartered in the
Opera House.
The miners held g mass meeting at
Springfield, Ill, yesterday at which it
was declared by the union men that
the imported negroes must be taken
out OF Springfield. Secretary Ryan
saws the Union Mine-Workers will not
be responsible for them after yesterday.
One hundred and six negroes from
Alabama, who came 10 work in the
mines at Virden, are under police pro.
lection at the union headquarters in
Snrinpfeld.

LAWMAKERS ARE
 PROUD OF DEWEY

Washington, May 1.-The house was not in session today but many members were about the capitol and read with eagerness the Associated Press bulletins presenting the news sent by Commodore Dewey to the navy department. Throughout the week the general qualification over the victory in the Philippine waters had been shadowed with equally general anxiety concerning the damage to our men and ships. When Dewe's dispatch. telling there had been no loss of life and very few wounded, as well as no severe injury to the American ships were made public, the relief experienced aroused a second wave of satisfaction as though news of a second victory had been received. The escape of the Americans from more serious suffering was generally looked up as little less than miraculous, and was conceded to be applicable only upon the theory that the manoeuverings and general execution of the Americans had been faultless and the work of the Spanish generally bad

THE BIRMINGHAM
 TRACTION COMPANY
Has Another Injunction Served Upon It Yesterday Af-
 ternO0n.

Injunctions are all the rage in court circles in Birmingham, and other processes of law have temporarily lost favor with litigants.
 Yesterday the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company obtained an in- junction out of the chancery court tenn porarily restraining and enjoining the Bir- mngham Traction company from con structing its wires along Eighth avenue between Nineteenth and Twenty-sixth streets and at other points along the line between this city and Gate City, the ter minus of the road
 The petition of the telephone company alleged that the company and operated telephone wires along the said streets. That the Birmingham Traction company had no right under it's franchise to own or operate an electric line. That it was at the present time. engaged in changing its line from steam to electric power and in so doing was erecting wires which would greatly injure the petitioner in it's business of operating telephone exchange by short circuitng and grounding it's wires, which were crossed by the wires of the Traction company.
 It is further alleged that the wires are being strung contrary to a city ordinance regulating the construction of lines over streets already occupied by other lines.
 In conclusion the petitioner asks that a temporary injunction be issued and on final trial that it be made permanent.
 A bond in the sum of $1 ,000 was filed by the telephone company.

ACCIDENT IN PRlN I ING OFFICE.
Stairs Gave Way With a Heavy Press-Seyeral
 Men Injured.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Montevallo, May 7.-Quite serious acci- dent happened this evening to Clifton New ton, the editor of the Montevallo News and his printer, Dennis Mitchell, and sey- era1 negroes. Mir. Newton had just re- ceived a new printing press which he had placed in position in the Lyman Hall build ing, and was having the old press carried down stairs when the stairway fell with the press and men. Clifton Newton was seriously injured and may die. Mitchell injured internally. and may die. Ed Ozley, colored, leg injured. John Moore, colored, toes and part of foot mashed off. Jack OzIey, colored, slight injuries.
 The building was used by the Girls In dustrial school last year and was con- demned by Captain Reynolds and refused to use it again as he considered 1t unsafe. It was on this account that he got the the consent of the trustees to put up new class rooms which are now being used.
