Threa tened tsi Resign

London, July 26.-Sir' Henry Campbell Zimmerman, Liberal leader in the House of Commons was so inGensed, at. the action of the Radicals in forcing vote yesterday the motion to reduce the salary of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, that he threatened to resign the leadership of the party. Friends suc- ceeded, however in persuading him. to re- consider his decision, and, he called a meet ing of the party leaders,, which was held privately this evening, to discuss the situa- tion. The result was that he agreed to re- tain the position provided he was not again subjected to such a rebuff. Probably, how ever, there will be another meeting of the whole party on the subject, and rumor credits the Liberal Imperialists with in- triguing for the; overthrow of Sir Henry's authority with a view of giving the leader. ship to Lord Roseberry

TWO KILLINGS
One Happened in Perry And the Other

Selma, July 26-eSpecial )-Last night on the Alexander plantation up the Cahaba river in Perry county about twenty-five miles from this city, two negroes. Jim Jones and Sol. Lattamore had fight which resulted in Jones being stabbed in the throat, the blade of the knife in Latta- more's hands severing the jugular vein and causing the negros death in few seconds.
 As is usual with most of the fights that occur among the negroes a woman was at the bottom of the affair. Jones knocked Lattamore down twice and turned to pick up a fence rail to finish him with when the latter made the vicious stab with his pocket knife that resulted fatally.
 Lattamore immediately put out for parts with scrofulous scars on his neck, a very large scar on the left side of his neck He had on blue and white checked shirt and a pair of dark trousers when last seen He also wore a dove colored felt hat with white band and binding.
 Word has reached here of the brutal kill Lowndes County. The old negro had some chickens stolen from him, the meagre details of the crime runs, and he located the chickens in the yard of white neigh bor. A negro had stolen the chickens and

 DOWN WITH WATCHES
Officer Baker Made What Is Believed to be
 an Important Arrest in Buzzafos Roest-wanted Elsewhere.

George Harris, alias Jim Odell, adaas Steve Sloughton, colored, was arrested' by | Officer Baker yesterday in Second avenue and Twentv-seyenth street. The negro had in his possession several gold watches, n diamond ring, coat and several other articles all of which are believed to have beer stolen. One of the watches answers to the description of one that was stolen from d house in Ensley Wednesday, nlght' and the shirt that the negro was wearing at the time of his arrest is similar 10 the one that was stolen from the same house.
 Officer Baker was on his beat Ill 0ecoho avenue in that part of the city known as Buzzard Roost when he noticed sus- picious looking darkey whose shirt pore close resemblance to one that had been stolen the night before. and whose descrlp- tion had been sent to police headquarters that morning. The negro was also sport ing handsome gold watch with evident pride His suspicious being aroused he be- gan questioning the negro about the snlrt, and while doing so noticed a queer lump in the negro's inside coat pocket. This lump, proved to be the outlines, of two more gold watches, plus one bottle of whisky. When asked what he had in his pocket the negro answered that he had nothing but bottle. But after he pulled the bottle out the print of the watches remained

The old negro unsus- pectingly went for his money at the ap- pointed time and the negro thief and two white men carried him down in the woods and cut his throat from ear to ear. Another negro who heard the plot made up to kill the negro told what he had heard, and the body of the old man was found in the woods. The names of the parties impli- cated. could not be learned and very little more than is above related can be found out

SLIM ATTENDANCE.
Very Few Negroes Attend the Mont
 gomepy Conference

Montgomery, Ala, July 25.-The National Negro Race Conference was called to order this afternoon at O clock by the chairman, Rev. W. H. Nixon, of Montgomery. Less than fifty negroes were in the hall, and none of the notables were present. Con gressman White of North Carolina, who was advertised to speak at the opening session, is not here.
 It is announced that Bishop Turner of Georgia will speak tonight on Africa, the Natural Home of the Black Man. but the bishop has not yet arrived.
 The invocation was delivered by Rev. IT. T. Weston of Georgia. "Doxology'' was sung and Rev. w. H. Nixon of Montgom- cry addressed the conference on "Condi- tious of the Negro and Remedes.''
 Miss Susan B. Anthony will not be here. She has sent a paper to be read during the conference, which is expected to be in ses- sion three days.
 At the night session of the negro con- ference there was. disappointment that neither Bishop Turner nor Professor Coun- Gill were present. The Bishop sent a per- senal representative in the person of Rev. J. A. Braclsett of Georgia who said that the bishop was unable to be present on ac- count of feeble health. and pressing engage ments. He sent his message that the negro had better be in hell, for the devil will make no discrimination, than to be here under the present conditions. Rev. Weston of Georgia also made a short address, and a. telegram was read from Councill regret ting that he could not attend. J. Vance Lewis of Louisiana spoke on the fifteenth n mo n16y state, but wanted the negro to work out his destiny here and make it his country and his flag.

 SHOUTS OF VIVA ESPAN0LA Celebration In Honor of St. Jago, the Patron Saint of Spain-Fourth of
 July Celebration Was Com pletely Eclipsed
SHOUTS OF VIVA ESPANOLA

San Juan, Porto Rico, July 26.-From end to end the, streets of San Juan were elab- orately decorated with glittering Spanish flags. in honor of St. Jago, the patron saint of Spain. Banners and bunting suspended fares and everywhere the balconies were richly decorated.
 There was no attempt whatever to dis play the American colors. The ceIebratien of the Fourth of July was totally eclipsed. Then the citizens were unable to raise a dollar for the purposes of demonstration. Now there is no difficulty in carrying through a programme which must have cost $5,00O. Six native houses displayed the stars and stripesf On the other hand, it is estimated that no fewer than 2500 Span fsh flags were flung to the breeze.
 The real feeling of the people was ex- pressed by binds of hoodIums who paraded the streets in the less respectable quar- ters carrying Spanish flags and shouting Viva Espanola."
 The fact that the day was the second anniversary of the landing of the United States troops under General Miles seemed to be forgotten here. Although at Ponce, Mayaguez and other points there were light obserVances of the anniversary, it ] was apparent that the local celebration |. had been carefully arranged to, eclipse that of the Fourth of July, which was scarcely observed at all in Porto Rico.
 A prominent Porto Rican discussing the celebration from the point of view said: "Our people should not be blamed by the Americans for expressing their feelings in this way The United States Constitution has not been extended to this island. The privileges of citizenship have been denied them. Under such circumstances Porto Ricans cannot appreciate American insti- tutions and naturally would not observe American holidays. The celebrai:on, how ever, was purely Spanish and many native Porto Ripans did not participate. .l n

IN SAME POSITION
United States, Germany and France
 Hold Same Views

Berlin, July 26--The German Foreign office, which received no additional news from China today, points out that the con- ditions for mediation demanded by Presi- dent Mckinley, published in Berlin this morning, place the United States in sub stantially the same position Germany and France. Nevertheless, the German press contiues to assert that the Washing ton Government is trying to part company with the Powers.
 The Vorwaerts contrasts President Me Ninley's answer to the Chinese note with Count von Buelow's ppaising President Mc- Kinleys masterpiece and sayingr
 ''The American President plays upon Cfina'S sympathy without in the slightest degree committing himself. When he states certain conditions clearly and energetieally he avoids every threat and all rude, rat ting of the sabre. Mckinley is really man of fine parts"
 The National Zeitung argues strongly against the assumption that the. prohibition of the exp0rtaton of arms to China, would leave China without arms, pointing out that there are arms and ammunition factories at Foo Chow, Shanghai, Nan King, Han Yang andl Tien Tsin.
