Mcpherson, Kansas, March 23.-John

made a signed statement OF his crime.
Moore murdered his five children with a
hatchet and knife, then burned the house
over their heads. He and his wife had
quarrelled, and he claims they were about
to separate. Ia the statement Moore
says:
II had been feeling pretty bad for the
past two or three days. The children
were all in bed asleep. / turned the
lamp down and went to bed. / then
had one of my worst spells, and my head
hurt me awfully, and everything seem
ed floating before me; and the next thing
that | remember after that was trying
TO get out of the house. l have recol-
lection of going through a struggle like
a dream that half remember. All the
recollection / have about this is that
would rather see my children dead than
to leave them in the hands of my wife's
people. 1t was like = dream TO me that

Returns Washington ward.

Thomasville, Ga, March 23.-Presi-
dent Mckinley spent pretty much the
whole Of to-day in the open-air as did
Vice President Hobart. This outdoor
life in mild and dry climate is doing
much to tone up the system of each, and
to-day each showed an improved stat.

followed by a drive.
The Jekyl Island "trip having caused
reports of a conference taere and thae
Speaker Reed would be nominated for
Vice-President on the ticket with Mr..
Mckinley at the next Republican con-
vention, it can be stated authoritativey
that politics were tabooed at Jekyl Is

yention, no thought of change of view
on his part ever has been suggested,
and the Administration leaders have not
had him in mind in this connection
Moreover the statement can be made
that the closest and most cordial rela

tween Messrs. Mckinley Hobart and
Hanna and that for some time they have
had a definite understanding that if

THREE NEGROES LYNCHLD.
They Had Fired on Whites in the Pub
lie Road

Jackson, Miss. March 23.-Three ne
sroes were lynched by mob near Silver
City, in Yazoo county, last Saturday
morning. After being shot to death, the
bodies of the victims We're weighted with
bundles of cotton bale ties and thrown
into the Yazoo River. The negroes were:
Minor Wilson, G. C. Reed and Willis
Boyd.
They are ring-leaders of the negroes
in race encounter on the Midnight
Plantation early last week. They were
arrested and taken to Yazoo City Jail.
The offense with which they were
charged having been committed in
Sharkey county, the Sharkey authorities
were notified. Late Friday evening
deputy Constable Sylvester arrived, and
the prisoners were turned over to him.
The constable boarded the steamer Res
cue with the negroes Saturday morning
and reached Silver City with them. The
negroes fell into the hands of the mob
near Silver City, were shot to death and
thrown into the river. The feeling
against these negroes had been very
bitter OH account of a disturbance at the
Midnight Plantation last week in which
they, with two other comrades. had fired
on two whites on the public road. 4
horse belonging to one of the white men
was wounded, but the men were NOT
harmed

a serious aspect. 1t then developed that
carefully laid plans had been made by
a number of negroes to precipitate a
race war and that many white men had
been marked for victims. 1t is learned
that twenty-three negroes were imDli-
Gated in this plot, and the whites are
now bent on melting out summary pun
ishment TO the entire coterie of CON
spirators Seven have been killed and
the work of wiping out che entire list
continues without relaxation. All im-
plicated in the plot are known, and par
ties of white men varying in numbers
from twenty-five TO fifty, are securing
the country for them. Wherever one
is found he is quickly strung up and his
body perforated with bullets. The work
of dispatching the first two or three was
an easy matter. But the news soon
spread among the negroes, who, instead
of making the resistance and offering the
battle that they had threatened, became
panic-stricken, and began getting out
of the community as quickly as possible.
Two whose names We're on the list of
conspirators, got good start and sue
ceeded in reaching the Texas State line
before being captured. They were
swung up without ceremony.
The trouble arose over the killing of
James Stockton by Duckett. Just prior
to the lynching of Duckett the negroes
had planne, the Inauguration of race
war; Duckett was the leader, and at
his death the negroes let the matter
out. The citizens became greatly en-
ragged. Joe King and John Johnston
We're taken to the woods and whipped

wholesale lynching began
In the gang that was plotting for a
race war We're twenty-three negroes. and
it is likely the entire number have been

from the district. Today three wagons

stands. he has felt obliged to sustain the
conclusions already reached ny the
United States Consul. Luther Osborn,

appears that these conclusions are in

British naval commander, Captain Stur-

Texarkana, Ark, March 23.-A race
war is on in Little River county, and
during the last forty-eight hours an in
definite number of negroes have met
their death at the hands of an infuriated
white population. Seven are known to
have been lynched. and the work is not
yet done.
The bodies of the victims of the mob's
vengeance are hanging to the limbs of
trees in various parts of the county,
strung up wherever oyertaken. The
country is in a state of intense excite
ment While men are collecting in mobs,
heavily armed and determined, negroes
are fleeing for their lives, and the COM
munity is in an uproar. The exact num-
ber of negroes who have been summa-
rily dealt with or those who may yet
fall into the hands of the mob before
order is restored may never be known.
Seven bodies have been found and
other victims are being hunted and will
meet similar fate when run to earth
The known dead to date are:
GENERAL DUCKETT.
EDWAIN GOODWIN.
ADAM KING.
JOSEPH JONES.
BENJAMIN JONES.
MOSES JONES.
UNKNOWN MAN.
Joe King and John Johnston were also
taken in hand by mobs and whipped.
They were afterward turned loose and
have disappeared.
Little River county is in the extreme
southwest corner of the State, bordered
on the west by the Indian Territory
and on the south by Texas. The negro
population is large and has for long
time proved very troublesome to the
whites. Frequent murders have occur
red, and thefts and fights have become
common affairs.
One or two negroes have previously
been severely dealt with when the peo-
pie found it necessary to take the law
into their own hands, but it was not
until Tuesday that the trouble took on
