state militia, upon orders of Cover
nor Heard, who responded promptly
to the appeal of Mayor Capdevie!!c
for assistance in suppressing the ex-

have been made by the irresponsible
mobs of whites upon the black Gle
ment, and the negroes. before night

the streets. The effects Gf the dis
orders has been to put a practical
stop to business in the wholesale
districts and on the river front, and
as this meant a serious gripping to
the trade of the port, the business
elements rallied in force, and hun
iredS of the most prominent men of
the city responded to the appeal of
the mayor for assistance IN presery-
ing order.

CASHIER GONE.

Leaving y Trace.
Nashua, July &c. j. Poole, who
for the past fifteen years has been
cashier of Lipman LOSERS bank in
this city, disappeared under mysteri-
GUS circumstances several days ago.
At first his disappearance was kept
profound secret, in the hope that
he might return, but this is now de-
SPARED of and the facts are made
public. There is no shadow cast oil
Mr.. Poole's excellent character by
his sudden disappearance. His ac-
counts have been carefully ilvestigat-

cert. He was administrator for the
valuable estate of Sarah L. Paris,
and it has Lecn found that the mon
eys and credits are also accounted
for and properly deposited. On tho
day Of his disappearance Mrs. Poole,
who was then visiting friends ~
Floyd, received a letter from her hus-

Boone, July 27.-It has been decid-

8 or 10, one of the dates of the old
soldiers reunion. A few weeks ago
Hon. L. w. Reynolds wrote to Gen.
Joe Wheeler of the United States
army requesting him to be present, if
possible, and deliver an address on
the occasion. Mr.. Reynolds receiv-
ed an answer from the general which
stated that it was with regret that he,
the general, must decline the offer,
for which he thanked the committee
and Mr.. Reynolds in person; but that
on account of the unusual activity
in his department at the present time
it would be impossible and at the
same time impracticable to leave his
post for even half day.

of Dubuque Appointments.
Washington, July ga letter
reached here from Archbishop Kahn
of St. Louis, who is now in Paris,
making the definite statement that
Archbishop Keane of the Catholic
university of Washington, but now
at Brussels under an oculist's care,
was appointed archbishop of Du-
buque, Iowa, on the 18th inst. 1t is
understood that Archbishop keanc
will probably bring the official proof
appointing him TO Dubuque back to
this country person, which is
something unusual, as such docu-
ments almost invariably pass through
the papal legation here for trans
mission to the nominee. By reason
of his prominence in official circles
there in the past, the indications are
that this rule will not be followed,
so far as his present elevation is
concerned.

NEWS I'm GENERAL
CLOUDS ALL HOPE.
Ministers Appeal Proved Either For
gerry or Authentic but Belated.

Washington, July 29.-Amazing and
disheartening news has reached the
American government. Chinese du-
plicity has at last overreached and
exposed itself. The mystery at Picking
takes on a more sinister aspect. The
state department has been placed in
possession of proof that Yuan Shi
Kiah, governor of Shantung, and
Sheng Suan Hwai, director OF Chinese
telegraphs and railways, knew the
contents of the first Conger dispatch
before the dispatch was received and
published in America. This proof
came in the form of dispatch from
Consul Goodnow at Shanghai, saying
he had seen a letter from Yuan Shi
Kiah in the hands of a Chinese official,
in which 1T was stated a telegram
had been sent from Conger to Wash
ington. The letter then proceeded
to quote the exact words of the Con-
ger dispatch, 'In British legation I'M
der continuous shot and shell from
Chinese troops" etc. This letter bore
date of the 10Th, about the time the
dispatch in question was supposed to
have passed through the hands of
Yuan, and before it's receipt in Wash
ington. To understand the appalling
significance of this discovery certain
facts must be borne in mind:
The so-called dispatch from Mr..
Conger was in the state department
cipher.
1t was presumed to be in response
to cipher message from Secretary
Hay.
Both dispatches were planned as
test of Chinese sincerity and good
faith.
1t is through the hands of these
two men, Yuan and Sheng, that all
tidings subsequent have come from
Feking.
And these two men were in posses
sion of the contents of the cipher
before the Washington government

The writer of short story in the
Century Magazine has invented two
phrases that may find a permanent
place in political slang. Party plat
forms do not always express the real
sentiments or the intentions of those
who subscribe to them. 1t Is easier
to promise than to perform the pron,-
ise. This writer speaks of weasel
word" as one that sucks the meaning
out OF another which is beside it, Just
as weasel sucks an egg, leaving only
the shell. "Weaseling," he says. is
highly expedient because one class of
voters will like the weasel, and the
other the word that has been weaseled
the egg. The other phrase is The
stained glass plank" CHANGING through
the window at one point a dog looks
yellow, while at another he is green,
and not until the window is thrown
open can you actually see what the
dog is like. Of course windows are
not made of "planks" which one can
look throughput let that pass.
