THINK LYNCHING
 WAS A HUGE JOKE The Arkansas 0utrages Condon-
 ed by Texas Jury. INQUEST WAS CONDUCTED Over Remains ofsOne off the Unfortun- ate Blacks and the Verdict was
 That the Victim was Fro-
 szen to Death.
INQUEST WAS CONDUCTED

Texarkana, Ark, March 2.-A corres- pondent visited Little River county today and endeavored to get the facts in regard to the trouble between the whites and the underlying. The white citizens are very reticent and are apparently not willing to give any news for publication. The part of the country through which the correspond ent traveled was quiet today and there was no outward indication of any further trou- ble. It was impossible to learn how many negroes had really been lynched, as nearly all the colored population had left the neighborhood.
 The flow remaining negroes in that part of the country travelled through by the cor respondent are still in state of great ex- citement and fear more trouble They talk excitedy of the occurrences of the past few days, and assert positively that dozen or more men have been killed in the Red river bottoms, mentioning names of ne- groes who have disappeared since the lynching of Duckett to substantiate their assertion. Two wagon loads of blacks ar rived in Texarkana today from Little River county.
 A Texas justice of the peace today held an inquest over the body of one of the dead negroes and the jury returned verdict that the deceased came to his death from natural causes or was frozen to death." The verdict is regarded as a gruesome joke.

AN APPEAL FOR
 FLOOD SUFFERERS No Less Than 100000 Chi neSe Said to Be Starving. SUMMER'S CROPS A FAILURE Petitioners State that Distress is Great and Heartrending, and Charitable
 of the United States are Re-
 quested to Contribute.
SUMMERS CROPS A FAILURE

Washington, March 2.-Citizens of the United States residing in Che Foo, China, hays made an earnest appeal through Con- sul Fowler at Che Foo to the charitable in America and elsewhere on behalf of the sufferers from the appalling Yellow river floods of this year.
 These floods have been described by the natives as "China's sorrow" and the peti- tioners state that never before was tie distress so great and heart-rending as now. The most conservative estimates place the number of starving at 2G00,000 at this time, and the increasing cold weather will undoubtedly augment the dis tress.
 The petitioners say that they are daily, almost hourly, in receipt of reports from their countrymen in the interior, depicting the condition of the famine refugees, say ing many villages are submerged; cities surrounded by water; homes, furniture. clothing in fact, everything is under water or destroyed the natives themselves are living in straw huts; many have abso- lutey no shelter from the winters cold and snow, subsisting on bark, willow twigs, roots, etc. The summers crops have been failure, the seed for next springs sowing is gone and there is noth- ing for these starving millions to hope for in the future.
 with our knowledge of the terrible want prevailing" says the American com- mittee, I've venture to call upon the char itable in our homeland to assist us in try ing to alleviate at least portion of this misery. Therefore, we shall be glad to receive contributions of money and corn We ask for money to be sent to the United States consul here, with which clothing and stock can be bought for the sufferers, and we guarantee strict accounting for every dollar thus received"

CANNOT BE MADE.
Volunteer Regiments will Not be En-
 listed in Their Entirety.

Washington, March A-The war depart ment has been asked if some of the volun- teer regiments returning from Cuba which were organized as immunes could be re- enlisted in their entirety. It was stated that some of these regiments desired to so enlist and be sent to the Philippines.
 In reply, the department said that such enlistments cannot be made. The tempor- ary re-enlistments provided for under the army law are to be made from volunteer troops now serving in the Philippines who will be subject to immediate muster out as soon as the ratification of the peace treaty is proclaimed. It is expected that General Otis will organize a brigade or more of these men. The organizations will be en- tirely new. These new regiments will not be kept in service very long, unless the sit- uation in the Philippines becomes much worse. The belief is expressed that this is not likely, as the reports from General Otis for a week or ten days have indicated an early collapse of the rebellion in Luzon. The temporary organizations, it is said, will be retained until the regular troops now under orders for Manila reach that place.

FIRE CAUSED
 LOSS OF LIVES Four Persons Meet Death in Memphis
 Boarding House. MANY OTHERS INJURED The Inmates Made Frantic Efforts to
 Escape. OPEN CRATE IGNiTED CURTAIN The Flames Were Distinguished, and the Boarders Retired, But the Smol- dering Embers Blazed Up and Caused the Confagration.
OPEN CRATE IGNITED CURTAIN

Memphis, Tenn, March 24.-In a fire this morning at Mrs. D. B. Nolens boarding house at 1O4 Court street, there was prop erty loss of not more than $2,500 but four lives were lost and six persons were more CT less seriously injured.
 The dead:
 Mrs Lilly Chapin, 35 years old.
 Roy Chapin, 10 years old.
 Chester Chapin, years old.
 Thomas Bull, 60 years old.

A. .McMillan, prostrated by nervous shock; Diggs Nolen, 12 years old, slightly burned about face.
 Mrs. Nolen's boarding house was patron ized by regular boarders, as well as by roomers and transients. At the time of the fire there were twenty-oRe people in the house.
 Curtains Were Ignited
 The fire originated in the front room on the first floor In the building. A fire from the grate ignited the hanging curtains in the early part of the night and prompt response by the fire department succeeded in extinguishing the flames without dam age. The guests retired at the usual hour. At an early hour this morning flames were seen issuing from the house and the in- mates wildly rushing about in a frantic ef- frrf sponded promptly. and after the fire was under control the search revealed the charred bodies of the dead
 In one of the front rooms on the second floor the bodies of Mrs Chapin and her two little sons were found. These unfortunates died by suffocation. They were only slight ly burned.
 In the rear room on the second floor was found the body of Bull. The aged man had died in heroic attempt to save the life of Mrs. Chapin and her little child. He was burned to death and his body presented a horrible spectacle. His eyes were burned out, and one looking at his charred remains could not tell whether he had been white man or a negro. The bodies of the dead were removed to Stanley's undertaking es- tablishment. Mrs. Chapin and her two sons were buried this afternoon, and Bulls body will be held until his relatives in St. Louis can be heard from.
 Mrs. c. A. McMillan, an aged woman, was rescued, but is suffering from nervous prostration, and 1t Is feared she may not recover from the shock. Mrs. Katie Loyd's !. burns are serious. but the remainder of the injured guests are doing well and will re- cover.

BURSTING OF PIPE
Resulted Fatally at Durham, N. o.
 Victim Prominent Mill Man.

Raleigh, N. C., March A.-This morning at Durham a rev 5-inch pipe in a pump house at the Durham Cotton Manufactur- ing eompany's mills burst with fatal re- suits.
 w. H. Branson, secretary and treasurer of the mill was so terribly scalded that he died this afternoon. J. C. Mather, the su- perintendent of the mill, was also badly burned about the face and will lose his eyesight The pipe burst just above their heads, and so powerful was the force of the explosion that part of the brick wall was torn away. The pipe as being used for the first time, and the two men had gone into the house to see how the pumps were work ing. As they entered, they closed the door behind them. Almost immediately the pipe burst and in the blinding steam they found difficulty in going back to the door and opening 1t. When they finally did so they were so scalded about the face, head and body that the skin peeled off in many places.
 Mather Is resting easier tonight, but he is not out of danger.
 Branson was one of the most prominent and progressive mill men in the state

FOUR MORE BODIES
Recovered From the Ruins of the Wind

New York, March A.-Four more bodies were recovered from the ruins of the Wind sor hotel today. The record as 1t now stands is 23 dead, forty or more missing, and a large collection of small bones. The injured in hospitals and other places are recovering. Anxiety on the part of friends of persons who have been reported missing has increased to certainty almost that they perished in the fire. From the con- dition of the bodies so far recovered, there is but little hope that they or any of the bodies that may be found hereafter can be identified.
 Among the articles found today were a ladies gold watch, marked "J. w. and some wearing apparel marked I'll. H. s.
