A considerable sensation has been
raised by Mr.. Vim. N. Gunton, of the
Gunton Lumber Co., whose mills are
located at Rochelle, in Grant parish.
HeimpOrted dozen or more negroes
to that locality to work them in op-
position to the white labor. As a
matter OF course the whites were Of
Tended, and ordered the negroes to
leave, which they did. If Mr.. Gunton
wants to work the negroes, let him
move into the low lands and run a
farm, and he will have no trouble.
BY common consent the hills of Lou
isiana are worked by white labor, es-
pecially the milling interests, and Mr..
Gunton ought to abide by thecustom
OF the country he is living in.

The Democratic majority over the
Populists In Grant parish is so big
and overwhelming that we have not
heard a single kick from them. 1t
seems to have utterly struck the lead
ers dumb with astonishment. They
now see they have been entirely de-
serted, when they fondly hoped their
dupes followed on, and they are left
stranded high and dry.

having her laundering done nicely, so
that the wearing apparel may be the adj

TO have the linens present that flexible

A FREE HAND TO BE GIVEN JAPAN.
Russia's Decision. 90, 900 Japanese II oops
to Be Embarked. Russians Overwhelmed.
(By the Associated Press.)

by Tie ASSOCldtcu IItSS.D
London, July 7.-(Saturday, 2:1O a. ny
The Russian Government announced that
it will give Japan a free hand to apply
force in China. In reply to inquiry from the
Japanese Cabinet regarding the dispatch
of Japanese troops TO China to render
aid to the foreigners in Pekin, the Rus
sian Government declared, on May 9th
that it left the Japanese Government full
liberty of action in this connection, as
the Toxic Cabinet expressed it's readiness
to act in full agreement with the other
powers.
The Che Foo correspondent of the EX-
press telegraphing on Thursday. says
there is no longer any doubt that dis
aster has Overtaken the Russian force of
5000 that left Tien Tsin for Pekin on
June 18th. The Russians had a full field
gun complement and carried their own
transport. AS nothing has been heard
from them in "a days it is assumed that
they have been overwhelmed. Trust
worthy news is received that all the
country to the northeast Of Pekin is
covered with the cOrpses of men and
horses Of the Western garrisons. Fight
ing of a desperate character took place
in the immediate neighborhood of Tien
Tsin on June goth.
a dispatch from Shanghai to the Daily
Telegraph, dated July 9Th, says the losses
of the allies up to June 29th totalled 600.
Official dispatches from Port Arthur tC
the Russian Government bearing date OF
July End, show that the country to the
northWard IS in a state of disturbance,
and that bands are destroying property
Six pirate ships have been captured by
Russian naval vessels at the Island OF
ElliOng.
A special dispatch from Shanghai
dated Friday, says the position of the
allies at Tien Tsin is becoming increas-
ingly critical owing to lack of sufficient
supplies; but only as a last resort will the
town be evacuated in favor OF concentra-
ton Of forces at Taku.

HILL Is OBDURATE.
While Senator Hill on the platform
waited for quiet and for Senator Grady to
finish his speech, he kept repeating
Il will not take It." To Senator Grady
re ;taid: This is absolutely unfair.
You should not do it
Judge Van Wyck kept urging him to &C
cept and net make a declination. Hlil
was obdurate. His face was like marble,
his hands rembled and he wiped the per
SEPARATION from his brow. While Grady
was speaking Hill asked to see Senator
Jones and when the Chairman of the
National Committee came, the Senator
said to lin Senator Jones stop this
thing. 1t is not wise. 1t should not be
forced upon me. Help me stop it.
Chairman Jones said:

I'll help you out. III see the delegation

Then Senator Hill advanced to the plat
form. He stood with head bowed a few
minutes, expressive of gratitude for the
cheers that rolled in heavy volume toward
him from every part of the hall and
when finally his chance came for his
voice TO be heard he said.

His first sentence rang through the
great building in triumph tones.
GRADY PRESENTS HILLS NAME.
con behalf of the Democracy of New
York, l present to this convention for
nominee for the Vice Presidency the
name Of David Bennett HILL
1t was ramati in the extreme. The
effort was electrical. His words set the
convention in a frenzy of enthusiasm.
The scene which followed was by far the
most tempestuous of the session, and the
name of Hill echoed and re-echoed throug
the hall. State standards were seized
and held aloft and the convention was
canopied with fluttering flags and hand
kerchlefS. Delegates and spectators
cheered and the great structure fairly
shook with the noise, when the galleries
became injected with enthusiasm.
Governor Hill, meantime, had worked
his way through the surging multitude
to the platform. AS he assembled it, his
hands were eagerly grasped and he was
escorted to the seat of permanent chair
man. He asked Mr.. Grady to yield to him
that he might make a statement, but
Mr.. Grady declined.
URGING HILL TO ACCEPT.
Judge Van Wyck, Of the New York dele
cation, hurried to Governor Hill and be-
gan an earnest conversation with Hill,
urging him not to decline the nomination,
which evidently seemed to be within his
grasp. Hill only shook his head.
1t was a pretty, even a dramatic side
play. All the convention was pulsating
with enthusiasm.
When finally Mr.. Grady was permitted
