the list of unknown dead to nine. The
fragments We're dug up about 90 feet

likely that any of the bodies yet to be
found will be recognizable.
The work of clearing away the debris
proceeds slowly. The great mound of
debris in Fifth avenue seems to grow
larger each day, though it was said
to-day that so carts We're engaged in

A WHOLESALE LYNCHlNG.
Negroes Have Started Race War in
Arkansas.

Little Rock, Ark, March 23.-News
was received here this evening of an
alarming state of affairs in Little River
county. telegram received late in
the afternoon says that an attempt on
the part Of the negroes to start a race
war against the whites resulted in the
wholesale lynching Of negroes by the
white citizens. Six We're reported dead,
and it was stated in the telegram that
in all probability others had been
hanged and were swinging to limbs in
the woods.
The disturbance grew out of the
lynchlng of negro named General
Duckett, near Richmond, in that coun-
ty, on Tuesday. Last Saturday a prom
inent planter named James Stockton
was murdered at his home near Rocky
Comfort by Duckett. The negro es-
capped at the time, but after remaining
in hiding in the swamps until Tues
day he surrendered, saying he had moth
ing to eat since his flight He was
taken to Rocky Comfort and socn after
his arrival there Sheriff johnson and
deputies started with him for Rich
mond. They were overtaken by 200
armed men, who demanded the pris-
oner Duckett was taken to the place
where he had killed Stockton, and after
making confession, he was lynched.
When the negro was taken to the
George plantation just before the start
was made for Richmond it seemed as
If every man in 10 miles knew of the
capture. and before the officer and pris-
oner got fairly started the whole coun-
try was aroused. After the lynching

quently tried to get the negroes in the
county to join him in a race war
against the whites. A few hours after
he had killed Stockton he passed some
negroes at a farm house and told them
that he had killed a white man. and if
they would follow him he would kill
more.
1t is now believed that the negroes
had banded for race war Duckett's
body was buried by the county, as the
negroes refused to touch it.

NOT IN THE TRUST.
The Guggenheims Decline the Invitation
to Join.

Denver. March 2S,-Simon Guggen-
helm, general manager OF the Phila-
delphia Smelling & Refining company
who has just returned from an extend
ed trip to the Orient. when asked to-
day about the rumor that the COM
panies controlled by M. Guggenheim s
Sons are to enter the newly formed
smelter trust he positively denied any
intention on the part of the firm to
take such action. He asserted that the
$11 600, 900 of stock which the trust is
reported to have set aside for the pur
chase of the Guggenheim plants would
not begin to pay for them. At Pueblo.
Colo, they have lead and copper
smelter, a lead and copper refinery at
Perth Amboy, N. j., a lead smelter
at Monterey. Mexico. and a lead and
copper smelter at 'Aguas Calientes,
Mexico.
Three of their lead smelters are the
largest plants of their kind in the world
and the capacity of their lead refinery
at Perth Amboy is sufficient to handle
half the lead bullion produced in this
country. All these plants are the eX-
elusive property Of the Guggenheims,
who are also large mining operators
owning extensive copper, lead and sill
yer mines in the United States and
Mexico. Mr.. Guggenheim stated that
when the smelter trust was first pro-
iected his firm was invited to partici
pate. but declined to entertain any
proposition of the kind.

Thousands of Dollars Wagered on

1t Will Be the Fight of Their Lives
for Both Men = Much Hangs Upon
the Result-They Are Eager
for the Fray.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
San Francisco, March 23-Not since
the fight at Carson, in which Bob Fitz-
simmons lowered the coors of James
J. Corbett and won the championship
of the world has such interest been
aroused in pugilistic events as that
which is manifested in the Mccoy
Choyinski fight at Mechanics pavilion
tomorrow night The sale of seats has
been very large. Thousands of dollars
have been wagered on the outcome and
the selection of the only John L. Sulli-
van as referee has given great salts
faction among the general public who
will attend, but sports who have
wagered heavily on the result are not
so well satisfied. They say John L. has
had no great experience as referee.
No one questions Sullivan's squareness,
but the sports say he was selected
merely as a drawing card by the Ma
tional club.
The prevailing odds to-day are 10 to
G, with Mccoy favorite. At Corbetts
pool rooms between $4,000 and 900
are already in the boxes, with thou
sands more in sight, holding off. both
L
ent prices will probably prevail when
the men enter the ring.
The sale of seats has been such as to
insure the largest crowd ever present
at a prize fight in this city. Parties
from all sections of the Pacific coast
have engaged blocks of seats Choyin-
ski will have the advantage of carrying
the well wishes of five-sixths of the
thousands who will be present

for the fray. The two fighters have
selected the men who are 10 go behind
them in the ring. Mccoy will have his
brother Homer. Jack Stelzner and
Frank Purcell. Choyinski's handlers
Tommy Murphy. 1t is worthy of note
that this self same trio has been in
Choyinskis corner every time he has
fought in San Francisco.
With the match#Sp close at hand, a
good deal of discussion is in progress
as to what the future holds for the
winner. 1t is generally admitted that
a decisive defeat will mean the end of

vanquishing his old rival, Jim Corbett.
after this little affair with Mccoy is
disposed of, while Mccoy is just. pin
ing for a return whack at Tom
Sharl1ey the broad -chested sailor.
Each man having a set purpose in view.
it is expected that the match in hand
will be very stubborn one. Those
who know Choyinski say he will fight
like a wildcat when he sees Corbett
prospects fading before his eyes, while
Mccoy, it is claimed. will make a most
valiant effort to qualify for his coveted
contest with the sailor.

A WHACK AT MILES.
No Orders TO Staff Corps Can BE Issued
Without Alger's Approval.

Washington, March 23-The following
order has been issued at the war depart
ment:
HEADQUARTERS of the Army, Adiutant
Generals Office, Washington, d. c..
March -, 1899: The following decision has
been made and is published for the infor-
nation and guidance of all concerned
War Department.. Washington. March
%, 1S99.-Ordered: That hereafter no chief
or acting chief of staff corps shall be de-
tailed or ordered TO any duty by any au-
thority without the approval of the sec
retary of war. tSigned>,
"'R. A. ALGER,
Secretary of War
"'By command of General Miles
"'H. c. CORBIN.
'Adjutant General"
This order of Secretary Alger has been
issued TO set at rest all questions as to
who is the supreme authority in the
war department. 1t is an old controver-
sy. dating back to the time when Jeffer-
son Davis was secretary of war and Cen
eral Scott general commanding the army.
The last time the matter was brought
prominently to the attention of the coun-
try was during the administration of
President Arthur when Secretary Lin
coin wrote a very caustc letter to Lieu
tenant General Sheridan. stating the staff
corps of the war department., with the
exception of the adiutant generals and
inspector generals corps, We're under the
direct control and subject only to orders
by the secretary of war.
The order of Secretary Alger will here
after include the chiefs of these corps
under the sole control of the secretary.
General Miles has held to the construc-
ton based upon the letter of Secretary
Lincoln.
The cause for the issuance of the order
was a recent order of General Miles to
Lieutenant Colonel Darlington, acting
chief of the inspector generals corps dur
ing the absence of General Breckenridge.
directing Darlington to visit certain
points in the West on an inspection tour.
The order of the secretary did not refer
TO General Breckinridge's duty in Cuba,
as he is acting under orders issued by
Secretary Alger.

Boston it is learned that Joe King and
Moses Jones We're found hanging to
trees at Horseshoe curve to-day. An
other Jones is missing. In the gang
that was plotting for a race war were
90 negroes. and it is likely that the
entire number have been strung up
in the thickets. The negroes are flee
ing from the district. To-day three
wagons full arrived at TeXarkana, hav-
ing crossed Red river at Index at mid
night last night. They were badly
frightened. The citizens of Little River
county have suffered much recently
from lawlessness. Some months ago
the two races clasAed at Allene at
saw mill and a small riot followed.
From all accounts it seems that with
Duckett, seven of the ringleaders have
been killed.

the match which he is so anxious to
make with Fitzsimmons, the latter to
name almost his own conditions, in
cluding the selection of the time for
holding the fight, either before or after

sailor would like to tackle the cham
pion in June or July. he would prefer
contest in tho latter part of May,
should Fitzsimmons also prefer it,
O'Rourke's $4,000 is still posted as
side bet for the match with Fitzsim-
mons.

SEEDS OF HATRED.
No Cause of Mexican Ill Will for the
United States.

City of Mexico. March 23.-The Mexi-
can papers discuss Cecil Rhodes ,imper-
ial extension of the United States and
El NaCional tmoderate liberaD says the
excessive anti-Yankee spirit shown here
is bad, as it may SOW seeds of hatred
that are not calculated to occasion con-
fidence.
''1o arouse the eagle" says Ell Ma
cional, without having means to con-
troll it when aroused would be suicidal.
Mexico lives in peace with the United
States and has nothing now to complain
Of in regard to that country. Our in
terests lie in strengthening those rela-
tions in future or, at any rate. not to
give preteXt for their being weakened
or being broken off. In harmony with
our powerful neighbor lies all safety
and on these lines ought to be shaped
Even Ell TEMPO. the conservative or
gan, is beginning ito see that the Span
ish papers of this city worked Rhodes
statements for their own ends, and
says:
Really the remarks of Rhodes have
| been taken too seriously, for, after all.
they only represent the isolated opinion
of a public man and it has no great sig
! nifcance. A general protest was made
| by the nation against Rhodes affirma-
| tionS, and that is enough"

and was given an enthusiastic reception.
Not only the citizens of Birmingham, but
many from neighboring cities and towns,
came to hear the great leader on the cur

what the Lords Supper is to the
Christian so a jefferson banquet is to the
democrat. Just as a good Christian would
revolt at having the sacrament admins
tered by an infidel, so a good democrat
objects to having a Jefferson banquet
presided over by Perry Belmont was
the epigrammatic manner in which Mr..
Bryan referred to the much-talked of
New York banquet which Mr.. Belmont
and his followers are to give in New York
next month.
This morning Mr.. Bryan was taken on
a special train over the Birmingham dis
trict and he enjoyed greatly being shown
its wonderful industrial development. A

of more than 1000 He spoke for exactly
