THE OARTERVILLE RIOT.
Verdict of the CorOner's Jury
Charge of Homicide.

Verdict of the Coroner's Jury A
Charge of Homicide.
Springfield, Ills, Sept 29-A Carter
vile dispatch to The State Journal says
that the verdict Of the coroner's jury in
the Cartervile riot case consists of two
parts. The first states that Huse Brad
ley, John Black, T. l.. Floyd and Henry
Branum came to their deaths by gunshot
wounds inflicted during the riot, and
charges Wesley Shadowen, Willis Shad-
owen, Elmer James, Lem Shadowen,
Willis Carney, Will Kelly and Others
unknown to the jurors with being ell.
gagged in the riot. The jury states that
1t Is unable to say which of the accused
men killed the negroes. In the second
section Of the verdict the jury finds that
the ffth negro killed, Sim Cummings,
was shot by Elmer James and others,
thus making a direct charge of homicide
against James.
The dispatch says the negroes at the
Brush mine attempted to kill one of their
number whom they accused of betraying
them into the hands of the white miners
The negro was rescued by the militia and
fed. The white miners are now looking
for him, and desire to prosecute him for
participating In the Sunday riot, to offset
the eases brought against them.

president of tie Orange Free STATED
uation had traIspired. The dispatches
from the Cape continued of warlke
tone and voiced the Indignation of the
British contingent against the Orange
Free State and Afrikander attitudes.
The impression current here, though
not based on ANYTHING tangible, was that,
publicly, the c,binet would only take
steps tending toprotract the negotiations,
while secretly t. would prepare the de-
tails of an aggressive campaign, perhaps
deciding to conv)ke parliament, though it
was scarcely believed the latter determi-
nation would be announced Immediately.
German Embnssador Sees Salisbury.
Immediately after the cabinet council
the German ambassador, Count Won
Hatzfedt- Wilddburg, visited the pre-
mer. Lord Sails bury, and had long CON
ference with hih. The fact that sim
liar visit immel lately followed the pre-
yious cabinet council leads some persons
to attach significance to it and to infer
that Emperor William Of Germany is
taking an active part in Transvaal at
fairs. The csicial German press. how
ever, has been so outspoken in telling
President Kruger that he need not ex-
pect German aid that it is scarcely pos
sble to attach credence to that inference.
1t is much more probable that the ques-
ton of Deagoa bay was discussed. if the
dispatch printed by The Pioneer Of
Allahabad, saying negotiations had been
concluded by Great Britain for taking
possession of Delagoa bay Nov. l, is cor
rect.
Many rumols are current regarding
the result of the cabinet council, all pro-
Tossing to be based on good sources.
But these are vague and contradictory.
One news agency announces that imme-
diate and decisive action has not been
decided upon. 1t is learned that pre-
vious to the meeting of the cabinet
Lord RothSchil visited the first lord Of
the treasury. Mr. A. j. Balfour The cir
cumstance is unusual and is said to be in
connection with the money difficulties
the government is encountering regard
ing the prospective military campaign.
News from South Africa is eagerly
awaited, as many think the cabinet coun-
Gil will Immediately be followed by a

cial dispatch from Cape Town, which

Private Hoon got his just deserts
when the sentence of one year in Ma
Mia prison was imposed upon him for
forging the names of his comrades in
order to gain promotion. Had his
scheme worked he mi ht have filled a
position that should have been given to
a far worthier man. However, it is sad
that man who has the heroism to serve
his country in time of war should des-
cend to such a despicable act as did Pri-

CABINET ON PHILIPPINES

Subject OF Chinese Exclusion From
the Archipelago Discussed.
Washington, Sept. 23.-At the cabinet
in the Philippines was discussed at some
length. 1t was decided to ask General
Otis for definite information as to what
had been done especially In regard to
particular complaint from the Chinese
minister that one shipload OF Chinese
had been stopped. General Otis will be
asked to give reasons why this action
was taken.
First Assistant Secretary Hill Of the
state department was present at the ses'
sion on account of the Chinese exclusion
topic.
The telegram from General Otis re-
lating to the occupation Of churches BY
United States troops in the Philippines
was read and discussed. No orders will
be sent to General Otis on this topic, as
it is regarded as part Of warfare to
occupy churches.
The subject of postal matters in Cuba
and Porto Rico was considered and 1t
was decided to reduce the rate in Porto
Rico from cents to 2 cents, allowing
the same regulations to prevail in Cuba.
The Chinese minister called at the
state department and held long confer
ence with Acting Secretary Hill respect
ing the admission into the Philippines
Of some Chinese. The case is an excep-
tional one, and 1t is sag that the general
question Of the validity and propriety
of General Otis extension of the Chinese
exclusion laws to the Philippines was not
an issue in the conference.
Senator Davis, chairman Of the CON-
mittec ON foreign relations, happened to
call at the time and was a participant In
the discussion. giving the department the
benefit of his views of the attitude that
would be assumed by his committee and
perhaps by congress respecting such ques-
tons as that presented. There are some
indications that the adoption of more
elastic policy in the matter Of Chinese
exclusion will be suggested to General
Otis but nothing has yet been done In
that direction.
The navy department today received
a cablegram from Admiral Watson, an
noucing the arrival at Manila of the ma
rnes under Major Elliot. They will pro-
coed at once to police Cavite and vicinity.

DIAZ'S COMING VISIT.

of President Mckinley.

of President Mckinley.
Washington, Sept. 23.--1n connection
with President Diazs visit to Chicago it
is expected that President Mckinley will
meet the Mexican president at Chicago
and invite him to come to Washington
as his guest and the guest of the nation.
Tentative plans along these lines have
been considered, and more definite ar
rangements will be made when the Off
cial announcement is received as to Pres
ident Diaz's intentions.
The Mexican ambassador had not yet
received the official notification of the
presidents plans, but it is expected that
it will be at hand within the next day
or two. The ambassador is now on his
way here from Manchester-b the sea,
and on the receipt of the notification he
will proceed in person to Chicago to de-
liver it to the proper authorities there.
President Diazs route northward Is
expected to be through San Antonio and
St. Louis. At the latter point he may
make a stop. as the Latin American club
of thnt city have telegraphed to the Mex
lean embassy here an urgent request that
the president honor st. Louis with a
visit.
In recognition of the presence of for
pign ruler within the country it Is prob
able that Il representative of President
Mckinley will meet the Mexican presi-
dent at the United States border and ac-
company him throughout his stay in this
country. An army officer of high rank is
likely to be selected for this service.
No less than If invitations from that
many cities have been extended to Pres
ident Diaz TO be their guest during his
stay in the United States But the I'M
derstanding among officials is that he
will not be able to accept many of these.
