Omaha daily bee., 1899-04-11

The trouble resulting in today's riot began
last night while 100 deputy sheriffs were
called out into Flatham and Penwell mining
district to protect several families of negroes
who were endeavoring to load household
effects preparatory to leaving for Iowa and
were being prevented by negro guards armed
with rifles furnished by the Pana Coal COM
pany, who claimed the goods the negroes
were moving were company property. The
deputies guarded the negroes while they
loaded their goods in wagons, conveyed them
to railroad cars and packed them for ship
ment. The negroes, their wives and children
were then marched to Union Miners hail.
where they were fed and cared for by white
union miners and given protection by a
guard of fifty deputy sheriffs. it being feared
Pana would interfere and attempt forcibly
to prevent their departure.
During the night, while deputies were
guarding the negroes in the Penwell district
they were fired upon by unknown persons
supposed to have been negroes and private
guards at the Penwell mine and fully 200
shots were exchanged. The firing greatly
terrorized the residents of that section OF
the city, who appealed to Chief Deputy
Cheney for protection Deputy Cheney
thereupon sent a special detail of deputies
armed with Springfield rifles. who patroled
all the streets and succeeded in restoring
quiet before daybreak. Several negroes
were arrested, charged with melting riot.

This impression is given credence also by
the fact that dead negro miner was found

Remarks About The Eagle.

London, March 15.-Joseph II.
Choate, the United States EN-
bassador to the Court of st.
James was banqueted tonight by
the Associated Chambers of Com
merce of the United Kingdom.
just after rising to address the
brilliant assemblage present Mr..
Choate good naturally stated his
EN- barrassment on being called to
speak before the Lord Chief
Justice, who was present.
He felt that when the British
lion was about to roar, even the
American eagle should hold his
peace.
The occasion was Mr.. Choate's
first public appearance in En-
gland. The banquet was held
at the Metropole Hotel. There
was a brilliant and distinguished
gathering, about $50 persons hav-
ing been invited to meet the En-
bassador.
| Mr.. Choate, who was welcomed
heartily, sat in the place of honor,
on the right Of the chairman.
After pointing out that the
friendship between England au,,
the United States was no new
sentiment, Mr.. Choate remarked
"While the last conflict be-
tween Great Britain and America
failed to settle any of the great
questions upon which either eide
took up arms, showing that be.
tween brethren war is the worst
possible means of settling any
controversy, yet in the eighty
four years that have since elapsed
tremendous questions, heated
words, threatening demonstrations
which would inevitably have
brought two other nations into
open and frequent conflict. have
occurred on either side and have
all been arranged and adjusted
without resort to arms"
Referring to the Venezuelan
imbroelio, he observed: "You
know that on our side OF the
water We love occasionally to
twist the lions tail for the mere
sport of hearing him roar. Laugh
ter9 Well, that time he disap
pointed US. He sat silent as tue
Sphinx, and by dint Of mutual
forbearance our sober second
thought aiding your sober first
thought, we avoided everything
but a mere war of words"
After paying eloquent tribute
to the late Baron Herschell and
Rudyard Kipling, Mr.. Choste
concluded as follows: "Gentle.
men, we are almost one people
What 1 say is, let our voice al
ways be lifted together for the
cause OF human progress and the
advancement of civilization, and,
my word for it, if that can always
be followed, why, then, law, order,
peace aud freedom, which are the
nurses of commerce the world
over, will prevail, and the cause
of humanity will be advanced

Several times during the progress OF

of the French demands in the matter OF
