Texarkana is in a state of alarm over
the large number of idle negroes who.
thwong the town and the citizens are or
ganizing vigilance committees for the pro-
lection of their property.
The unusual influx of negroes recently
is due to the operations of bands of white
caps in the Titus, Cass, Red River, Hop
kins and other counties in the cotton dis
tricts of North Texas, whence thousands
of negroes have fed on account of posted
notices and in some cases violence. Being
run out Of the cotton fields they have
sought refuge in the town.

MANILA, Philippine Islands, Sept. g.,
1S9S.-The United States Consul here, Mr..
o. F. Williams, in behalf Of Captain n.
Mayo Dyer, of the United States cruiser
Baltimore, has returned to General Mi
randa the sword which the latter sur
rendered to him at the capture of Cor
rigidor Island, at the entrance of the
Bay of Manila The General replied that
he was overwhelmed by the generosity
of Captain Dyer.
The men who struck on account of an
for the payment of labor after the Amer
lean authorities, in the early exigencies
of the situation here, had agreed to their
extravagant demands, are disappearing,
and 1t has become necessary to employ
soldiers in their places in some cases.
while in others the matter has been COM
promised. One of these strikes, as cabled
on September 5, caused the suspension of
traffic on the horse car lines of Manila,
but they resumed operations today.
The recruiting agents of the insurgents
are causing further trouble They have
been impressing the employees of foreign
residents, including those Of the British
Consul and several Of the foreigners have
complained that the native grooms are
taking their employers horses and join
ing the Insurgents.
The American army chaplains have in
stituted Protestant services in private
buildings. Such services have never pre-

PENSION SHARKS.
Stringent Measures Necessary to
Punish the Usurers.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 9, 1S9s.-An ap-
pendix TO the annual report of the Com
missioner of Pensions has been made
public, containing statistics in regard to
the work Of the office. Reports from the
various divisions of the bureau are also
Incorporated 1t is stated that the
pawning or pledging of pension certifi-
Gates is a growing evil. and some strin-
gent measure should be adopted to reach
the offense, and, if possible, to effectual-
iy stop it.
1t has been developed, by Investigations,
made in several cases of this nature, that
unscrupulous persons have accepted as
security for money loaned to needy PEN
sioners, their certificates and vouchers,
so loaned ranging from five to fifty per
cent per month. This practice is not
confined to any one place, but is indulged
in to greater or less extent in most, if
not all, of the principal cities throughout
the country. The present law govern
ing the pawning or pledging of pension
certificates is inadequate to reach the
offenders
The sum of 81, 50, improperly obtained
under pension claims, was recovered by
special examiners, and judgments were
rendered in four civil suits aggregating
$11 41e.22, though they have not yet been
realized upon This only represents a
portion of the money recovered, as re-
clamation on forged checks is made
through the, Treasury Department.

GRAY CONSENTS.


WILMINGTON, Del, Sept. 9. 1s9S.-Sen-
ator Gray, after having previously noti-
fed President Mckinley that he must de-
cline the appointment as one of the Com
missioners to arrange the terms of peace
between this country and Spain, decided
today to accept the honor. His declina-
tion, made known on Wednesday, was
followed by a visit from Assistant Sec
retary of State John Bassett Moore, him
self native of Delaware, who will ac-
company the Commission to Paris as Sec
retary and counsel. Mr. Moore came to
this city yesterday at the request Of the
President to ask Senator Gray to re-
consider his declination.
Mr. Moore set forth that the questions
which will come before the Commission
will be of the utmost Importance to this
country, and took the position that under
the circllms stances it was a matter Of
public duty for the Senator to lay aside
all private interests and accept the ap-
Dointments.
Although against his personal inclina-
tions, Senator Gray has finally agreed to
become one of the Commissioners. He is
apprecative of the honor shown him
through the Presidents tender of the ap-
pointment after he had once declined.

NEWARK, N T., Sept 8, 18s8.--Com-
missioner Van Dwyne, Of the Street Com
mittee Of the Board of Works. at the
meeting this morning, said that he had
noticed in newspaper that typhoid was
in an epidemic form in Trenton,
and there was danger Of it's spreading
throughout the county. He added
"Our water supply covers a large terri
tory, and there is a possibility that germs
may poliute some Of the streams Some
efforts have been made to reiove sources
of contamination but not enough. l move
that Engineer Sherrerd be directed to
make thorough examination and inspec-
ton of the watersheds, where there are
possible sources of danger, and report
what has been done to protect our water
from contamination
Chairman Herr said that such an ex-
animation was made some time ago, and
the report was that no steps had been
taken except at Stockholm to remove
sources of pollution, and something was
done at Oak Ridge.
my observations satisfy me- he said,
''that very little has been done by the
East Jersey Water Company. We ought
to request the proper city authority to
proceed against that Company to force it
to proceed against the owners of bad land
who have failed to remove the source Of
pollution"
President Hewson said he would like
to have extra vigilance used in the in
spection of the water, as the present is
a dangerous time. because many soldiers
have returned home who may carry ty-
phoid germs. and it was jujst possible,
the physicians declared, that the return
ing sick soldiers may scatter typhoid
germs throughout our entire country.
Mr.. Byrne asked if the Board of Health
did not have charge of this pollution mat
ter.
Engineer Sherrerd said it had and that
Health Officer Chandler had made an IN
spection and reported to his board
President Hewson said the Board os
Health has police power where the public
health is in danger But the Board of
Works should see that extra vigilance IS
exercised now in the water shed.
Mr.. Van Duyne Incorporated the Presi-
