Union Non-Union Labor - Negro
Miners Not Allowed to Visit the Town

suit of the Defiance of This Exclusion.
Carterville. Ills, Sept. 1S.-Carter-
vile was the scene of a bloody riot
about noon yesterday in which four
negroes were instantly killed and one
wounded unto death, while two others
received slight wounds. Trouble has
been probable ever since the militia
was recalled by Governor Tanner last
Monday. The white miners of this
place have refused to allow the negro
miners to come into town, always
meeting them and ordering them back.
Sunday, however, thirteen negroes, all
armed. marched into town, going to
the Illinois Central station.
Words and Bullets Exchanged.
There they exchanged a few words
with the white miners there. and then
pulled pistols and opened fire on the
whites, who at once returned the fire.
when a running fight was kept up, the
negroes scattered, but were closely fol-
lowed by the whites, some running up
the main street while the remainder
took down the railroad track. Here
the execution was done, all who went
through town escaping. After the fight
was over four dead bodies were picked
up and another mOrtally wounded.
They We're taken to the city hall. where
the wounded men was attended to and
an inquest held over the dead ones.
Trouble has existed here off and on
for over n year. but no fatalities oc-
Cured until June 80, when n passen-
ger train on the Illinois Central rail
road was fired into and one negro wom-
an killed. These negroes were on their
way to the mines, having come from
Pana. \ short time afterwards
pitched battle enSued between the un-
ion and non-union forces during which
time the dwellings occupied by the un
ion negroes were burned. Several ar
rests were made and the parties are in
jail at Marion on the charge of muir
der, awaiting trial.

ported that the negroes We're worked
up into a frenzy, and that while he
was doing all in his power to hold
them in check he was afraid that he
could not do so much longer, and that
unless the militia arrived there would
be further trouble. The names of the
killed are: Rev. T. j. Floyd, Huse

dead negroes were found late last

Manila, Sept. is. - The cruiser
Charleston at daylight last Thursday
morning joined the patrol ship Zafiro,
near Grande island, Subig bay, with
the object of dismounting a gun ut
Olaugapo that had been used by the
insurgents. The Charleston stood in
front of the town while the Zafiro
sailed northward. At 5000 yards the
Charleston began shelling the enemy,
who replied nt once. The first shot
from the insurgents gun burst boats
ahead of the ZafirO. while the second
ricochetted between the Charleston's
maStS.
The Charleston kept throwing in
S-inch shells. Then the Charleston
steamed closer in shore and got within

Politely Negative and Defiant Londo
Newspaper Comment.

Newspaper Comment
London. Sept. 1S.-The reply of the
Transvaal government to Chamber
lain's latest note is said to cover nine
pages. 1t is eminently of the negative
and inconclusive' character which
Chamberlain declared would compel
the imperial government to consider
the situation afresh. 1t practically
repudiates suZerainty, reverts to the
seven years franchise. and declines to
give equality TO the Dutch and Eng
lish languages in the vOlksraad. In
short, 1t Is politely negative and def
ant. The full text may not be availa-
bic for n day or two. but it will not
change the aspect of affairs. The cab
met will probably meet on Wednesday
or Thursday to consider the next step.
1t is supposed that the next move
contemplated by the Transvaal is an
appeal to the powers, begging them to
recommend arbitration ON the lines of
the conference at The Hague.
There was Il serious disturbance in
the market square of Johannesburg on
Saturday afternoon. \ meeting called
by a labor aEitator named Balm to con-
demn British policy and to enroll vol
unteers to- fight for the Beers led to
serious fights with the police. lasting 4
couple of hours. Many persons We're
injured. among them DIR. Matthews,
WHO recently Lil'l Il tusliSt dEdllSb a

crowd. singing Rule Britannia" ac-
companicd him TO the police office.
The Standard says of Kruger'S last
note: The Transvaal note is unsatis-
factory and. indeed. n dangerous com
position" The Daily Mail says: Pres
idcut Kruger'S defiance has terminated
a long period of unrest and uncertain
ty 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: I'VE re-
gret that the Beers. by rejecting
fair offer made in fair language. have
taken Il line giving fresh point TO the
argument of their enemies that Presi-
dent Kruger is n shifty and imprac-
ticable politician. fit only to be spoken
to across line of bayonets." These
extracts fairly represent press opinion
in London. All the papers character
ize the attempt TO represent ConynG-
ham Greene as suggesting the Trans
walls former proposals as mere shifty
prevariC alton.
The Pretoria correspondent of the
Morning Post, in his summary of the
Transvaal reply, says that the Trans
vaal repudiateS suZerainty and the
right of Interference and denies that
either State Attorney Smuts or the
government offered five years fran
chise otherwise than on Conyngham

government would withdraw its claim

ONE PROPOSAL FLATLY REJ EcTED
No Five Year, Franchise and Quarter
Representation for Uitlanders.

Further, there must be a misap-
prehension if it be assumed that this
government was prepared TO lay pro-
posals for five years franchise and
n quarter representation of the new
population before the volksraad for
unconditional acceptance. As to the
language. this government never made
any offer such as is referred to, con-
sidering, as il did, such measure
both unnecessary and undesirable.
The proposed conference, as op-
posed to the joint commission Of in
Quiry, this government is likwise not
unwilling to enter upon, but the diff
ficulty is that an acceptance thereof
is made dependent upon the accept
ance on the side of the Transvaal of
precedent conditions which this gov
ernment does not feel at liberty to
submit to the volksraad; and, more
over. the subjects to be discussed at
the conference remain underlined.
This government ardently desires
and gladly accepts arbitration, as it's
firm Intention is to adhere to the terms
of the London convention of 1854"
that the British government, on re-
consideration, may not deem il fit to
make more onerous or new proposals,
but will adhere to Great Britain's
proposals for II joint commission of
inquiry as previously explained by the
secretary of state for the colonies to
the imperial parliament"

would not be deemed n refusal of his
proposals, but would be settled on

Will Accept the Joint Commission.
"As regards the joint commission the
Transvaal adheres to the acceptance
of the invitation thereunto given by
her majesty's government, and cannot
understand why stAh commission
which before was deemed necessary
to explain the complicated details of
the seven years law-should now be
deemed unnecessary. and why il should
now. without much inquiry. be thought
possible to declare this law inadequate.
