Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. 17,-GovernOr
Tanner has ordered two companies of
the 4th regiment, under command of
Colonel Bennett, to Carterville. The
governor gave out the following state
ment tonight:
Il received a message from Captain
Brush, owner and manager of the
mine at Carterville, stating that 4 mob
had attacked and killed five of his ne
gro miners while waiting at the Hi
nois Central depot for train: that the
sheriff was unable to control the sit
uation and was powerless to arrest the
parties; asking me to order troops to
Carterville and that he had ordered his
men to stay on his ground.
In response to this message, know
ing some of the conditions of that
place, and without waiting to hear from
the sheriff, l ordered Lieutenant Low
den of Company c to proceed at once
to Carterville, taking a special, if nee

SPEAKER REEDS
POLITICAL ADIEU
Thanks the Republicans OF His District
Who Have Supported Him for
Twenty Three Years

Portland, Me-, Sept. 1.-THE Press
will print Tomorrow the following:
ITO the republicans of the First Maine
district:
while l am naturally reluctant to
obtrude myself again upon public at
tention, even here at home, l am sure
no one would expect me to leave the
First Maine district after so long a
service without some words expressing
to you my appreciation of your friend
ship and my gratitude for your gener-
Gus treatment. Words alone are quite
inadequate and I must appeal 10 your
memories. During three and twenty
years of political life, not always peace
ful. you have never questioned a single
public act Of mine. Other men have had
to look after their districts My dis
trict has looked after me. This in the
place where | was born, where you
know my shortcomings as well aS | do
myself, gives me a right to be proud of
my relations with you No honors are
ever quite like those which come from
home. 1t would not be just for me to
withhold my thanks from those demo-
Gratis who have often given me their
votes. This friendship | can acknowl-
edge with all propriety, even in a letter
to republicans, for both they and l
know / have never trimmed a sail to
catch the passing breeze or ever flown
doubtful flag.
office as a ribbon to stick in your
coat is worth nobodys consideration
Office. as opportunity, is worth all con-
sideration. That opportunity you have
given me untrammeled in the fullest
and amplest measure, and I return you
sincerest thanks. If / have deserved
any praise it belongs of right to you.
Whatever may happen, l am sure
that the First Maine district will al
ways be true to the principles OF lib-
erty, self government and the rights of
man.

FAMINE IS THREATENED
Porto Rico Is on the Verge Of
Starvation.
APPROACHING A CRISIS
Ii Will Soon Be Necessary to Feed the
Entire Population or the Island.
Status Must Be De-
fined.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
Ponce, Porto Rico, Sept. 11.--There
are, generally speaking two classes of
people in Porto Rico. About per cent
are educated, thinking folks, who own
land and are the employers of the great
laboring class which constitutes the 95
per cent Of the native population. This
latter class, the poems, has always been
in a state bordering on absolute pow
erty. The poems subsist upon the fruit
which grows abundantly everywhere.
The great storm affected the two classes
very differently.
The first class has seen its buildings
wrecked, it's machinery ruined and its
ripening crops destroyed, but the great
loss of life occurred in the second class,
and it is there that starvation threat
ems. The planters are unable to furnish
work to the people and the fruit on
which they had so much depended for
food is destroyed. Relief supplies are
at best only temporary and difficulties
of transportation have prevented the
distribution of relief except at most
central points.
Under these conditions there is only
one thing for the people to do. Unless
permanent government is established,
unless the status of the island is deter
mined, unless the policy to be followed
here in the future is soon outlined, ok
listing conditions will be aggravated
and 1t will soon be necessary to feed the
whole population through relief agents.
What Porto Rico wants, however, is
not charity, but rather the development
OF her commercial and agricultural in
terests. and while the present distribu-
tion of relief is necessary, that neces-
sity would soon disappear if these in
tereSts We're properly cared for.
Great difficulty has been encountered
in transporting the supplies to the in
land towns, owing largely to the disap-
pearance of the bridges
More than this, when the Panther ar
rived in the harbor of Ponce, the sea
was so rough that a great quantity of
relief brought by the steamer dropped
into the sea instead of reaching the
lighters. Fifty per cent of what was
originally landed was damaged by wa
ter and had to be thrown away

NEW BASEBALL LEAGUE.
VIII Include Cities in Both the Nation al
and Western Leagues.


Chicago, Sept IA new baseball
league. whose circuit will include cities
in both the National and Western
Leagues and which will be known as
the American Association of Baseball
Clubs, was formed to-day at a meeting
here of baseball men and lovers of the
national game. The circuit, as decided
on to-day, will include st. Louis, Mil
waukee Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore,
New York, Philadelphia and Washing
ton.
A. C. Anson was offered the presi-
dency, but refused to accept at present.
H. ID. Quinn Of Milwaukee was elected
temporary president.
Other temporary officers were elected
as follows: Vice president, NJ. d. Scan
Ian; treasurer, George Schafer; score %
tary, Frank Hough; directors, Chris
Won Der Abe, NJ. D. Seaman, Frank
Buckley and C. S. Havener.
The platform Of the new league was
announced as follows:
Honest competition, no syndicate
baseball, no reserve rules; to respect all
contracts and popular prices"
The real hackers of the new organiza-
ton were not disclosed, but it is claimed
that the league will have the support of
a brewing company in st. Louis.
All of the gentlemen present dis
claimed any intention of going to war
intimated that it was war to finisn
with the national organization.
The advent of Anson into the coun
ellis of the new league means that Chi
caso will have two baseball teams
should the new league be reality.
Most of the others are old-timers in
baseball.

1T MEANS WAR.
Comment of the English Press on tn.
Transvaal's Renlv

Comment of the English Press on the
Transvaai's Reply.
London, Sept. 1.-THE Morning Post
says: THE Beers mean to fight. Tha
is the plain English of IL"
The standard says: The Transvaal
note is unsatisfactory and. indeed n
dangerous composition, 1t might be go
ing too far to say that the last hone of
peace has vanished or that diplomacy
had said it's final word, but it is idle to
deny that the rulers of the Transyaal
have brought their country very close
to the brink of a disaster, which the
British government has done its best
to avert"
The Daily Mail says: President Kru
gers defiance has terminated a long
period of unrest and uncertainty in
South Africa, for whatever may be the
issue of the present situation, one thing
is certain, that dualism in South Africa
will end forever"
The Daily Chronicle says: We re-
gret that the Beers, by rejecting a fair
offer made in fair language. have taken
a line giving fresh points to the argu-
ment of their enemies. that President
kruger is shifty politician and is fit
only to be spoken to across a line of
bayonets."
All the papers characterize the at
tempt to represent Cunningham Greene
as suggesting the Transvaars former
proposals as mere shifty prevarica
tions.
The Pretoria correspondent of the
Morning Post, in his summary of the
iransvaal reply, says the Transvaal re-
pudiates suzerainty and the right OF
interference and denies that either
state Attorney SHUTS or the govern
ment offered a five-year franchise

EXCITED STRIKERS.
Infuriated Miners Wanted to Finish Their
Work.

Chicago, Sept. IA special to the
Times-Herald from Murphysboro says:
One of the dead negroes at Carter
vile is a preacher the others are la
borers. One of the negroes when first
shot, started to run. He was shot
again and fell. One of the white men
then ran up and shot him through the
head with a rifle The shooting took
place Immediately in front of Mayor
Zimmerman's house and in full view Of
several ladies seated on the porch. Be-
fore the noise of the first shots had
died away the streets began to fill with
excited armed men. After the crowd
of negroes had been killed and scat
tered, 1t was evidently the intention
of the infurated miners to go to
Greenville, where the big non-union
negro camp is located and finish the
work. All afternoon an angry crowd
of men patrolled the streets Later the
projected trip to Greenville was appar-
emily called off

BRANTlY WAS LOST
FOR FOUR DAYS
The Chief Justics Had Very Close Call
in the Mountains Around
" Libby.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.


Libby, Sept. 17.-This community
drew a long breath of relief this after
noon at o'clock when Theodore Brant-
ly, chief justice of the supreme court
showed up on the north side of the
kootenai river and fired his rife for
the ferryboa to come over and bring
him across.
Judge Brantly went out hunting on
Thursday with a party of friends and
got separated from them. For the past
two days he has been wandering all
alone in the mountains and did not find
his way out until this afternoon.
Since yesterday parties of rescuers
have been constantly going out after
him, and to-day not less than 100 men
were trying to find his trail. None of
the searchers were lucky enough to And
him, and he came in alone.
He is considerably emaciated and
quite pale about the gills from his
rough experience, but he has been eat
ing dinner for several hours and will
take the train for Helena tonight.

charge of the troops. 1 also directed
the commanding officer of Company F.
OF Mount Vernon to prepare and be
IN readiness to move on short notice.
AT 4 o'clock. two hours from the
time 1 received the message mention
ed from Captain Brush, / received q
message from Lieutenant Lowden Of
Company G of Carbondale stating that
he would leave on a special train for
Carterville at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
Later, | received message from
Captain Brush stating that later re-
ports showed that seven of his men
were killed and two injured and that
a large armed mob of men were be-
tween Cartervile and his mine and
that one company was not sufficient
The above is all the information I
have up to this time on the subject:
from which ii would seem that these
negro miners are waiting at the de-
pot for train probably expecting
to leave the place temporarily or finally.
While | have no information by whom
the trouble was precipitated, it seems
from the brief facts above reported and
the further fact that no one was killed,
except the negroes, that it was pre-
arranged, premeditated murder. This
is blot on the fair name OF Illinois
and will be a disgrace to the commu-
nifty of Williamson county unless quick
and vigorous action is taken by the
county authorities. The good and
law abiding citizens of Williamson
county should rise to the situation and
support the officers in restoring peace
and order.
II hope that the Newton company
will reach Carterville before morning
and before any conflict occurs, but +
do not believe, and shall not believe
until it happens, that the strikers will
attack the national guard or attempt
to oppose It in doing it's duty"

ton on the part of some one who, from
what appeared to have been interested
motives, represented himself to a reporter
at Euston station, London, as being Mr..
Belmont. and expressed the views with re-
gard to American politics as cabed. Mr..
Belmont this evening authorized the
statement that he has no occasion to
change the views expressed to the asso-
ciated press on June II, on the eve of his
sailing for Europe, and that he consist
entity holds to his own published 0pin-
ions in regard to the financial doctrines
of William j. Bryan and the Chicago

pose. Mr.. Bryans views in regard to
the currency are such that Mr. Belmont
could not support him.
Mr. and Mrs. Belmont will sail for the
United States next Wednesday.

COOPERATIVE STORES
Are to he Tried by the Railroad En-
pIoyes' Organizations.

Chicago. Sept. 1.-THE Chronicle to-
morrow will say: Leaders of the different
railroad employees organizations are con-
sidering the plans for the establishment
of employees grocery stores at the divi-
sion points of the various lines throughout
the country. 1t is proposed to have the
stores conducted on the cooperative
plan, the stock to be subscribed for by
the employees of all branches. The OBJ
ject of the stores is not only to reduce
prices. but to protect men against gar
nishee proceedings, which are often insti-
tuted to collect small accounts and which
many times cost otherwise faithful en-
ployes their positions, as on many lines
a garnishment suit is cause for dismissal.
The stores are not intended to be money
makers, but If profit accrues from their
operation it will be divided among the
stockholders.
The new plan i. to be tried first at
Chillicothe Ohio the division headquar-
ters of the Baltimore e. Ohio Southwest
ern road. Practical grocerymen will be
placed in charge and their accounts will
be subject to inspection by a committee
of the stockholders. If the grocery stores
are a success other goods, such as cloth
ing, boots and shoes, hardware and furni-
ture, may be added.
