The professional traders soon detected

The continental exchanges on London

the war department notifying him that a
detachment from the Twenty-fifth Infant
ry would be sent 20 this station to do
garrison duty. This information has

ally and has caused a stir which threat
ems to develop into a storm
The trouble Is on account of the fact
that the soldiers the war department has
designated for duty here are negroes. The
protest Will not be based entirely upon
hostility to the negro, but on the feeling
prevalent in view of recent troubles at
Southern camps against placing negroes in
a position where clashes with the whites
are likely to follow.
Gov Jones says he considered the send
Ing of negro troops here as an exceedingly
unwise thing and declared that he would
certainly demonstrate with the federal au-
thOrities.
