President For Protection.

St Louis, Mo, Nov. 1S.-At meeting
today of the Forum Club. composed Of
about 500 of the most prominent colored
citizens of ST. Louis, Prof o. M. Wood
race commissioner of the organization,
delivered an-efequent address upon the
subject of the recent bloody massacres
of negroes in the southern states. These,
he said, should be condemned in UNI
measured terms by all right thinking
people of the country, regardless of
race lines, and called for intervention
by the national government IN the in
terest of humanity
Resolutions We're presented by Prof
Peter FL. Clark of the Sumner high
school, recommending the appoint
ment of a commission Of seven to draft
an address to President Mckinley, call
ing his attention to the defenseless
condition Of colored citizens who are
subjected in the state in which they
live to all forms of violence, and ask
him to intervene in behalf of humanity
and good government.
The commission is instructed to cir
culate this petition throughout the I'm
tied States for the purpose of securing
the signatures and cooperation of the
colored citizens of the entire country
A COPY will be sent TO each United
States senator and representative.

A DISCLOSURE SURELY.
About Ten Thousand Spanish Troops Re-
fuse 10 Move Without Their Paw.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-In connection
with the departure Of the Eighth cav
airy for Cuba, an interesting Bit of in
formation has reached the war depart
ment. Arrangements have been made
by the Spanish authorities to send back
to Spain the Spanish troops, number
ing $500 men upon the arrival of the
American garrison. 1t was expected
that they would sail next Tuesday or
Wednesday, but an unexpected obstacle
has arisen among the men them
selves. They are on the verge of mu-
tiny, openly declaring they win not
return to Spain until they have re-
celYed their pay, now far in arrears,
for service in Cuba.
The mutiny extends not clone to the
enlisted men, but to their officers and
" directed against the executive Off
cials of the Madrid government on the
island. Some of the men have not
been paid for nearly year ana to all
OF them several months pay is Cue. The
situation has created no particular con-
Germ in the minds of American author
tiles, as it is not likely seriously to af-
feet the control of that portion of the
Island by the American forces; but it
Is realized that those $500 soldiers, if
they should persist in their refusal TO
return to SPAIN might become depend
ents whom it would be difficult to care
Tor, and ultimately, perhaps, a menace

Spanish authorities express no fear of
their ability to solve the problem pre-
sented, but how they will solve it. il

solutely refuse to return home without
their pay, is not clear

Little Jane and Me- by M. r..
(Houghton, Mifiin & COD, is a charm
ing story of child life in New York city
so years ago. 1t is reminiscent in char
acter and told with much humor and
delicate appreciation of the small sor-
rows and triumphs>of children.
A new story by Laura E. Richards
is always an event, for this author has
made a unique niche for herself in the
literary world by her delicate treatment
of child life in New England. They
have been called the most charming
stories ever written Of American coun-
try life, and deservedly. Three Mar
garets, one of the choicest stories for
girls that she has ever written, has now
a fit successor in Margaret Montford y
published by Dana, Estes & Co. 1t tells
the story of a young girl not quite IL,
who took upon herself the management
of her fathers house and the care of a
little brood of nieces and nephews. She
is a sweet tempered, affeetionate girl,
not in the least a prig, and the story Of
her trials is sympathetically told. All
the characters, including Aunt Sophro-
MIA. the meddlesonle, selfish, old wom-
an, who invites herself to visit the
Montfords, are sllillfully drawn, and
the plot moves naturally and easily.
1t is a very human kind OF story
