Judge"
May 25. 1899
on making the order Judge Townsend
stated orally from the bench that uni
ted states commissioner courts In the
territory were simply Arkansas justice
courts and had no more power In the
trial Of civn causes than the justice OF
the peace in that state have. In Arkan-
sas Justice of the peace have no author
ty to charge a jury on the law and
hence the United States Commissioners
in the territory have no such power. It
has been the practice OF commissioners
for several years to instruct jures just
as the United Staes rts do on ques-
tions OF law before them
! 1t would appear from the order made
by Judge Townsend that the practice Is
wrong. and that they possess no such
power.

Failure of Enfra nc hise ment."

An Illinois correspondent wants "a
statement of the number of negro sena-
tors and representatives in Mississippi
at the time of their Acknowledgement.
and now. Also any other data that
will show the decline in political power
or the failure of enfranchisement."
The colored brother first came to the
front as voter and legislator in Missis-
sippi under the military order provid-
ing for the assembling of the constitu-
tional convention of 1868. There were
II colored delegates in that convention.
The first legislature thereafter as.
sembled January IL, 1870. There were
% colored members in the house, and 5
colored members in the senate.
The constitutional convention of 1890
had one colored delegate, Isaiah Il.
Montgomery, of Bolivar county. He
was member of the franchise com
mittee, and made one of the ablest
speeches in favor of the franchise sec.
ton as adopted. The legislature OF
that year had 8 colored members in the
house; s in the house of 1892, and 8 in
the house of 1894; none in the legisla-
ture since, and no colored candidates
have offered since.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Ana ricans Accused of Leaving
Friendly Natives to BE Killed
by FiIipInOs.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-The Records staff
correspondent at Manila cables as fol-
lows:
Fifty insurgents commanded by three Of
ficers, blew up a train Friday morning at
ten O'Clock three miles north of Calulut
There was no guard on the train, but there
were about 20 tranmen, 20 Filipino car
penters, with officers and soldiers in
charge of supplies. The soldiers attacked
the insurgents. and severe fight ensued
The rebels fired volleys from ambush and
then charged upon the train, whereupon
hand-to-hand conflict lasting for some
minutes ensued. The carpenters beat off
the insurgents while the Americans I'M
coupled two cars and escaped down the rail-
road track with the killed and wounded.
The carpenters who were left behind were
either killed or captured. The American
loss was two killed and six wounded. 9th
ers are missing. The insurgent loss is not
known.
The place attacked is at the center of the
north lines. Col. Smith is two miles north
of Angeles. Gen. Wheaton is three miles
south of Calulut and Gen. Wheeler is five
miles west of Santa Rita. The engine and
cars returned to Calulut. and Gen. Wheaton,
with two companies Of the Seventeenth in
fantry, steamed back to the wreck, where
he found that the train had been sacked.
Six carpenters lay dead about the train.
The insurgents had departed. Gen. Whea-
ton is still pursuing them.

DOES NOT EXPECT WAR.
Opinion of President Kruger ms EH.
pressed to Friend-AppenI
of Afrikanders.

Cape Town, Sept. 23.-Writing to an
ger says: Things are serious and will
become graver, but peaceful settle
ment will be attained"
London, Sept. %. - The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily Chronicle
says: II have the best authority for
the statement that the Orange Free
State raad has unanimously resolved to
assist the Transyaal against British ag-
gression."
Pretoria, Sept. 23.-Large numbers
of local Danes, Germans, Frenchmen,
liollanders and Americans have offered
their services to Commandant General
Joubert in the event of hostilities.
Commandant General Joubert, reply
ing to numerous requests on the part
of journalists for permission to accom-
many the commanders, said that appli.
cations were premature.
Cape Town, Sept. 90 delayed in
transmssion).- AT meeting of the
Afrikander members of parliament
Wednesday, Mr.. Neethling presiding,
to President Kruger:
I'VE Afrkander members of parliament
thoroughly sympathize with our Afrikan-
der relatives in their troubles. While APP
preciating the concessions already made in
the interests of peace we beg TO urge the
eXpediency of doing the utmost. short Of
sacrificing independence to avert the hor-
rors of war. While agreeing that the joint
inquiry proposed by Mr.. Chamberlain can
n he aGEa Cd ~ riSyht uCp
leve such a commission will provide way
out of the difficulties which are fast APP
preaching crisis. with results which might
prove fatal not only to the civil and free
state brethren. but also to the Afrikander
party of Cape Colony. In the presence OF
immediate danger and the momentous is
sues awaiting the decision of your honor,
the executive and the vo!ksraad, even the
risk of being misunderstood is of minor i'm
portance. We beg your honor to lay these
words only dictated by a keen sense of
our common interests and risks, privately
before the executive and volksraad.
This message, which was signed by
SO members of parliament, received the
following reply from President Kruger:
81 wish you and other sympathizers will
notice. as you have doubtless already seen
by the reply of the imperial government,
that we have, according to your desire, con-
Sluereu the matter ana accepted the lnNl-
tation to the joint commission. Why the
acceptance was delayed is shown by the
dispatches published. l wish to thank you
and other friends once more, from my
heart, for the manner in which you have
aided our efforts for pacific and satisfac
tory solution. Finally. / express the hope
that your work and ours will not be fruit
less"
The meeting also adopted resolu-
ton TO the effect that it had heard with
satisfaction that the executive of the
Transvaal had accepted the invitation
of the joint inquiry and trusted the ac-
ceptance would render an outbreak Of
hostilities practically impossible.
London, Sept. 21.-A special dispatch
from Rome says that the Italian gov
eminent, in reply to President Kruger's
request for Intervention, has advised
him to yield.
