Negro Sandbagger Hanged in
the Streets of COrinth, Miss.

Corinth. Miss. Aug. 11.-MulIock
Walker, a negro, charged with sand
bagging, was lynched here this morn
ing by a mob and his body is swinging
from a telegraph pole on Fillmore street,
in the central part of the city AT an
early hour this morning an organized
mob of $50 masked men went to the
county jail and demanded the person
of Mullock Walker, who was charged
with criminaIly assaulting Charles
Dazelle with a sandbag about three
miles south of town last Wednesday,
since which time Mr.. Dazelle has been
in a critical condition and his life des-
paired of.
No resistance was made at the Jail
as the mob was firm and would allow
no parleying and Jailer Berry turned
the negro over to the mob.
Walker was taken to the most central
part of town, in front of Rubel and
cOmpany's store on Fillmore street and
hanged to the guard arm of one of the
telegraph poles. Walker confessed his
crime, and implicated two other negroes
in some of his various crimes.
Part of the mob was sent to the pow
er house and compelled the electrician
to turn the lights out and for a block
in each direction the sidewalks and
streets were lined with men and boys,
looking on the grewsone proceedings.
An attempt to capture the negro was
made last Saturday night but the Jail
was strongly guarded and the mob dis
perSed.

THREE DEAD, ONE DYING
As the Result of a Shooting
ARRAY at Central City, s. ID.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. ia special from
DeadwOod, S. D, to the Bee, says:
Three men dead and a woman dying
5s the net result of a. shooting ARRAY at
Central City this morning. Judge J..
P. Giddings, Ed. Shannon and Jack
Wear are the men and Mrs. Ed. Shan
non is the woman.
Shannon had boarding house at
Terry and one at Central City. He
stayed at nights at Terry, leaving his
wife to look after the other place. At
$50 Shannon returned to Central City,
and aroused Judge Giddings; just what
happened in the office, no one knows,
but the two men suddenly burst into
the street engaged in a death struggle.
Shannon had a revolver. Jack Wear
tried to separate them, and was shot
through the body, dying instantly,
Shannon then shot Giddings through
the head, killing him. He went to his
wife's bedroom, and beat her about the
head with his revolver until he thought
he had killed her, and then with a
fresh revolver shot himself.
The woman is still alive but can not
recover. All the parties are pioneers
and were well to do. Giddings has had
many political offices. Intimacy between
Gfddings and Mrs. Shannon is given as
the cause of the tragedy.

BREWER TALKS AGAIN.
The Justice Says Cuba Must Be Well
Governed to Prevent Recur-
renee of Horrors.

Burlington, VT, Aug. 11.-Justice Da-
Vld j. brewer of the supreme court,
who has come from Washington, will
spend the remainder of the summer at
his cottage, at Thompsons Point. He
said in regard to peace negotiations:
Peace is now certain. do not know
what the terms will be, and 1 can only
guess at what Will be agreed upon by
the two nations. They viii compel the
surrender of Porto Rico to the United
States and evacuation by Spain. Evac-
uation of Cuba brings to US as a nation
grave responsibility and the aftermath
of the contest may prove much more
troublesome than the war itself. We
proclaimed when the resolution passed
congress that we would free Cuba and
that we did not want it ourselves. Now
if we drive the Spaniards from Cuba
and leave her without any forcible in
reference it will be greater ruin than
to have left the Spanish there We owe
it to Cuba to preserve order by force
whether it may be one. two or five
years, until she shall prove herself ca
pable of government.
4 believe that to leave Cuba without
an established government to hold her
people in check would be to precipitate
horrors worse than those of the French
revolution. Our obligation to Cuba is
not fulfilled until the complete estab-
Hshment of self government. Taking
possession of Porto Rico is called by
men of the army and the navy a wise
precautlon- L suppose every civilian
should abide by their judgment. We
have, however, to manage the island,
which is a matter of the greatest diff
Guilty. The inhabitants are not fit for
self-government. The colonial ad-
ministration, such as European ma
lions have established, seems to US a
violation of our ideas of self govern
ment. I suppose we will have to try
though. The possession of Hawaii
seems justified by arguments of mill
tary and naval men, that the people are
easy of government and not turbulent
or quarrelsome. think Senator Hoar's
speech upon this matter is the best re-
sumo of the subject, pro and con, which
I have seen.
so far as the Philippines are con
cerned. some men high in authority
have told US that we must at least have
a coaling station there. Beyond that,
while we do not know the presidents
views upon the matter I think we
should be relieved from responsibility
as soon as we can fairly. am direct
~ opposed to the introduction Of the
colonial system in that portion of the
world. 1t is not a mere matter of ter
ritory or distance. We took Alaska
but it's population was small and their
coming as part of US did not affect US:
but, to bring in from one country from
six to ten million savages as part of our
national existence is, to my mind
freighted with untold dangers. If we
can get rid of responsibility and do JUS
ttce to the people there, hope we will
do it. ] believe in following the advice
of George Washington to avoid all
entangling alliances, and in the Monroe
doctrine"

Alarming Reports Are Received
From Alaskan Points.
A Battery to Be Dispatched to
st. Michael.
UNDER HURRY ORDERS
Military Post to Be Established
at Ft. Yukon.
Orders to Seize River Boats if
Necessary.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 1.-THE
Call says: Serious trouble in interior
Alaska is apprehended by the United
States government. Food riots are
feared at Fort Yukon and other up
river points, growing out of the failure
of the transportation companies to get
supplies in there on the prevailing low
water.
Acting on instructions received from
Washington, Major General Merriam
will quickly dispatch a battery of ar
Iillery to St Michael. the officers in
charge having orders to proceed at once
up the Yukon river to Fort Yukon and
open military post for the coming win
ter. The expedition will also carry a
large quantity of extra provisions and
supplies to relieve distress.
When St. Michael is reached, the COM
handing officer Will promptly levy on
any river boats he may find, Selling
them if necessary, and will transport
his troops and supplies to their destina-
ton with all possible dispatch. A form
of military government will be estab-
Ished and good order maintained in
Alaska even if it requires the service
of the soldiers and artillery.

F. W. PECK'S ASSISTANTS.
Exposition Commission Selects Men
to Aid Him.

Chicago, Aug. 11-Ferdinand w Peck
commissioner general for the United
States to the Paris exposition of 1900
announced the following Appointments
on his staff, with the statement that
no further appointments would be made
until he returned from Paris: Director
of affairs, Paul Blackmar; director of
mining and mineraIogy, F. J. V Skiff:
temporary director of press bureau
Robert ]. Thompson; private secretary,
J. H. McGibbOns; secretaire Franchise
Count de Valcourt Vermont.
Paul Blackmar, director of affairs
was identified with the worlds CoIurn,
bian exposition as superintendent of
collections, a position which called for
high administrative ability. F. J. V.
Skif held the position of chief of the
department of mines, mining and metal
Iurgy at the Worlds Columbian exposi-
ton and is the present directOr-in-chief
of the Field Columbian museum.
Count de Vermont is Partisan born
and a member of a prominent family
He is at present connected with the
Omaha exposition and was officially
identified with the mid-winter fair at
San Francisco.
Commissioner General Peck goes to
Paris next month hoping to secure an
increase of the space allotted to the
United States at the exposition.
Only 10000 square feet of space have
been given to the United States thus
far. an allotment totally Inadequate to
the applications that have been received
by the commissioner general MT. Peck
will endeaVor to secure at least 100000
square feet.
Commissioner Peck has sent out 10000
circular letters to intending exhibitors
and those who have manifested a desire
to be represented at the Paris exposi-
ton. He makes an urgent request in
the circular that applications and plans
of installation may be completed and
forwarded to the directors of the ex-
position before February Is, 1899 In
tending exhibitors are also advised that
in estimating the square feet of space
necessary they should allow for only
one article of a kind so far as possible
and consider that the relative size and
Importance of the industry of the appli-
cants will have to be the guide in de-
termining the equitable distribution of
the space.
This last admonition has been effec-
tive in consolidating several exhibits.
In one case twenty-seven kindred in
dustries have agreed to put their ex-
hibits in charge of one agent It is
probable that a special commission will
be appointed, the duty of which viii be
to award space and pass on applica-
tons Thus far more than 300 applica-
lions have been received at the New
York office of the commissioner general
and 500 at the Chicago Office.
