RoYALlsr DEMONSTRATION.
The French Executive Meets With Violent
Reception While Attending the Faces
An American Women Takes Part.

There was a violent demonstration
against President Loubet OF France
last Sunday.
The president attended the races
and while there was struck several
times by prominent members OF the
nobility. Countess de Castellane, VINO
was Miss Anna Gould of New York
City, made herself conspicuous by
marching up and down the lawn be-
fore the grand stand in which the pre-
sldent was seated, shouting NiNe /
Armee. Her husband was arrested but
soon liberated.
There was a storm Of boots. yells and
cries, of Panama" A bas Loubet and
"Nive rArmee." A few shouts of "NiVe
Loubet" were drowned i'm the clamor
A strong force Of police kept order
and arrested many of the disturbers,
Including n man who tried TO force his
way to the presidents carriage.
During the second race the Clamor In
creased to violence, and was plainly
directed by a committee OF the league
of patriots collected with their suppor-
ters both before and behind the pre-
sdential stand around which formi-
dable affray proceeded.
During the grand steeplechase many
blows were struck, and several police
men were injured in their endeavors
to prevent an invasion of the presiden-
tial stand.
At the crisis Of the excitement, while
shouts of "Nivc rArmee" and "Nive
Detoulede" We're heard on all sides,
Count Christiani rushed toward the
president, brandishing n stick. and di-
tected a blow against him, striking his
hat.
The crowd rushed upon Christlani,
who only escaped severe handling by
being taken under police protection.
President Loubet remained all the
while quite unmoved, talking to the
premier while the officers Of his mill
tary household were defending him
against violence.
Finally, after so arrests had been
made, the prefect of police ordered the
Republican guards to surround the
presidential stand.
The principal leaders Of the demon
stratlon We're Joseph Lasies. anti
Semitic and Nationalist, deputy for
Gers. and Firmin Faure. anti-Semite
and Nationalist, deputy for Oran AL
geria.
Police Inspector Grilliere had his
head seriously wounded in the melee.
and President Loubet has since deco
rated him with the cross Of the Legion
of Honor in recognition Of his devotion
to duty.

Few Cases as Compared With the Reports OF
Previous Years.
The sanitary department at Havana
has Just issued some interesting sta
tistics regarding deaths from yellow
fever during the last eight years. In
the year 1890 there were only four. In
1891 there were 316; in 1892. 326; In 1893
39l; In 1894, 32s; In 1895, 40: In 1896,
1871: in 1897, 1850. and in 1898. 1e2.
Thus far In the present year there
have been only four deaths due to yell
low fever. In 1896 and 1897 there were
large numbers of Spanish soldiers In
the province. unacclimatized. and they
succumbed often to doubtful diseases
In making up the statistics, the prefer
ence was always given to yellow fever,
owing to the large pension that could
be drawn In such cases by relatives Of
the diseased at home.
From 1890 to 1898 included the total
number OF deaths In the city OF Ha-
vana from all diseases whatsoever was
S9,703.

her for the summer. She made ar
rangements to have her mail sent by
way of st. Johns Postofiice, where she
called twice for letters during the past
few days.
Attention was first attracted TO the
woman and child when they called at
the postofIlce, the woman asking for
mail for Mrs. Jenny Wilson.
Mrs. Carey the postmistress, noticed
the resemblance of the child to the pic
lures of Baby Clark and she notified
Deputy Sheriff William Charleston.

over to st. Johns and arrested the Will
son woman and secured the child.

fore the Clark house and the party with

and then they cried for Mrs. Clark and
the child. and they appeared.

for the return OF the baby.

ADVERTISED THE CRIME.
Railroad Sold Tickets TO Those Who Wished to
See q Negro Executed.

When Sam Hose was burned by n
mob at Newman, Ga, prominent
negroes OF Chicago raised a fund and
sent n local detective named Levin to
investigate all the circumstances.
Monday he reported that the burning
OF Hose was premeditated and was
openly advocated by many Of the lead
ing men in the community as an ex-
ample to the colored people. He said
he learned that while Hose actually
killed Crawford, Mrs. Crawford had ad-
mitted that the negro did not molest
her in any way.
One of the most astonishing charges
made in his report is that the railroad
officials who made up n special train
for the lynching party after the cap
ture of Hose actually advertised the
contemplated burning and sold tickets
to people attracted by these advertise
ments. Detective Levin said that the
torture and hanging Of the aged negro
preacher, Elijah Strickland. were
without n shadow of reason.
