CABINET MEETING.
Peace Negotiations and Porto Rico
Evacuation Discussed.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-THE spec
ial Cabinet meeting called this morn
ing lasted until / o'clock. 1t was de-
voted almost entirely to discussion of
a cablegram received from the Peace
Commissioners at Paris and the report
of the Evacuation Commission at Porto
Rico, which was personally presented
by Admiral Schley.
Owing to the fact that a Cabinet
meeting on Saturday was quite un-
usual, many conjectural reports were
afioat as to the urgent and critical
character of the subjects discussed But
the members stated most positively
that nothing of disturbing character
had developed at Paris, or had been
under consideration The text of a
cablegram to be sent to the Peace
Commission at Paris, in response to
one from Judge Day, was framed 1t
involved no new or immediate crisis.
The Spanish Commissioners had asked
until a day next week in which to make
answer to the proposition submitted by
the Americans. Although the Admin
istration is becoming somewhat impa-
tient of the delay to the work OF the
commissions, occasioned By the pro-
crastination of the Spaniards, the delay
in this instance will not be objected 10,
although it may meet with an intima-
ton that the discussion has reached a.
point where definite results are expect
ed without further unnecessary loss of
life.
Admiral Schley's visit brought uD the
Porto Rico question. The Admiral,
who was accompanied by Secretary
Long was invited to participate in the
discussion. The report was an inter-
esting recital of the circumstances of
the American occupation, but the re-
port itself was rot given out.
Concerning Cuba a definite conc1u-
sion was arrived at by the Cabinet to
open a port on the western coast of the
island, probably at Cienfuegos, about
December 1st, in order to allow the
large sugar planters to get in their
machinery and begin work on the new
sugar crop.
The situation in the Carolinas was
referred to only incidentally, the Attor-
ney General making the statement that
no evidence had yet reached him which
would warrant the Federal Government
in intervening.
The President has received a per-
sonal message from Judge Day thank
ing the President for his inquiry as to
the Judges health, and saying that he
was much improved.

SOUTH CAROLINA RIOTS.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
WILL NOT INTERFERE,
Except in the UnIooked-for Event
Of q Recurrence of the
Race Troubles.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Except in
the unlocked for event of recurrence
of the race riots in South Carolina, it
is altogether improbable that the Gov
ernment will interfere by force or 9TH
erwise.
The Attorney General had another
conference with the President this
morning in reference to the matter, and
the conclusion was promptly reached
that as the demonstrations were not
directed against the Collector of Gus
toms in the performance of his duties
as such, the Government had no au-
thority under the Constitution or laws
to exercise its Federal authority. Col
lector Tolbert was shot while away
from his home and on business entire
ly disconnected from that of his Of
| flee, and under these circumstances the
Government, it is said, has not a shad-
ow of right to interfere.
If the Collector had been shot in the
discharge of his official duties, and in
an effort to enforce the laws of the
United States, the duty of the Govern
ment would have been clear. In the
present case it is said, however, that
the Iawless acts of the mob We're not
directed against the execution of the
laws of the United States, but against
the individual. The case would have
been the same had Tolbert been shot
on the highway by robber.
Administration officials have no SYM
pathy with the Carolina rioters, and
regard their acts with adherence, but
up to this time it is said there is no
evidence that would warrant any in
reference by the Government. The
Attorney General late last night sent
the following telegram to the Assist
ant United States Attorney at Ander-
son, near Phoenix. S. c.:
Department of Justice, Washington,
Nov. 11-Ernest f. Cochran, Assist
ant United States Attorney, Anderson,
S. c.: You will at once take energetic
steps, incurring the necessary expense,
to ascertain the exact situation at
Greenwood and adjoining counties, and
report the same Immediately by wire
to me, with view to advising me
whether any condition of insurrection
or disturbance exists as would justify
the Federal authorities in interfering
to suppress 1t. JOHN w. GRIGGS,
Attorney General
To which the following response has
been received:
Anderson lS. c., Nov 1.-THE At
torney General Washington: My in
formation is much rioting near Green
wood at Phoenix Tuesday and Wednes-
day. Several negroes killed and
wounded. One white man killed and
several wounded. Thursday there was
also some rioting, but conditions qui-
eter My information is quiet there
now, though community very much ex-
cited. From all information I have
think Federal interference now too late.
It seems the mobs were anxious to get
the Toberts, and 7 am informed they
are now all safely out of their reach.
Intense excitement still prevails, but
no violence now. Will wire further tc-
morrow. ERNEST F. COCHRAN,
Assistant United States Attorney"

Think They Have Tascott.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Sergeant Moon
ey and Patrolman Larkin of the Har-
rlson-street police station think they
nave arrested the long sought Willie
Iascott, the alleged murderer of
Banker Snell who was shot by a burg
lar IN 1883. The prisoner says he is
John Farnsworth of Columbus. O., but
a careful comparison with the descrip-
ton Of Tascott has caused the police
men to believe that they have the right
man at last. Little credence is placed
in the identification, however, as Tas-
colt has had plenty of opportunity TO
change his physical appearance during
the last ten years.
