PROTESTS HAVE AvA1LED.
Wholesale Lynching OF Negroes In Bossier,
La, VIII Probably Not Occur, Public
Sentiment Opposing.

Shreveport, La, June 15.-The night
passed without the lynching of any
of the negroes who have been under
arrest in the adjoining parish of Bos-
sier ever since the murder of John
Gray Foster on the Foster plantation.
Prince Edwards, the negro who shot
Foster, is still in hiding. The strong
stand taken by Gov. Heard in OPPOSE
ton to any violence, his offer to send
troops and the protest Of the Foster
family against the execution of inno-
cent blacks have apparently had a
good effect. The excitement has di-
minished and planters and business
men generally deprecate a wholesale
lynching or reign of terror for fear
it will have the effect of driving negro
labor away.

FROM EQUATORIAL AFRICA.
savages from Ashanti, Dahomey, Senegal.
Ouita and the Congo Form Strange
Colony at Buffalo Exposition.

Buffalo, N. Y, June 17.-There has
arrived here what is perhaps as
strange a crowd as has ever passed
through the hands of the officials of
Ellis island. They are natives from
the heart of equatorial Africa, to peo-
pie the African village, a midway
feature of the Pan-American EXPOSE
ton. Sixty-two of them arrived on
the French line steamship La Lor-
raine, and about 40 more are expected
by later vessel, to complete the
colony. They are drawn from Ashanti
and Dahomey, from the Loango, Ga
boon and Senegal, from Quita and the
Congo. They own as chief Lo Oben-
daga, proud old negro, who sat
with three of his wives apart from
the rest of the group. At home he has
SO more wives awaiting his return,
for he is head of the Ogowe tribe, a
small but fierce band which has
waged war successfully on weaker
neighbors.

HANGED ON SAME GALLows.


Sylvania, Ca, June 1.-THE hang
ing of five men upon the same gallows
at the same moment here yesterday
marked the end of what is thought
to have been an organized gang of
murderers. The men executed were
Arnold Augustus, Andrew Davis,
Richard Sanders, William Hudson and
Samuel Baldwin, all negroes. The
victims of their crime were Consta-
bic Mears and Fillmore Harrington,
whom they ambushed and shot to
death, and Capt. Wade, whom they
seriously wounded. On at least two
occasions efforts were made to lynch
the murderers, but by the prompt ac-
were frustrated. On one of these oc-
casions the governor found it neces-
sary to order out three companies OF
the state militia.
These five negroes were convicted
of murder committed under an al
legged criminal conspiracy by an or
ganized band of blacks known as
knights of the Archer" The motto
of the organization, it is said, was
ssDeath to the Whites" The murder
for which the men died was but the
elimination of a long series of crimes
It is common report that the charter
of this oath-bound organization was
signed in blood and the leader, An
drew Mckinney, assembled his band
only at night, when he swore them
with awesome rites, to secrecy and
to deeds of death and robbery.

It's hands at one minute to ten o'clock

When the verdict was read the
crowd seemed to expect that the de-
iendant would break down. Those
who had looked squarely in the cold
determined eyes and noted the set,
firm chin, did not. Mrs. Kennedy
listened to the verdict just as every
one else did. There was not shud-
der, no exclamation, no suggestion
Of tear. If there was surprise or
disappointment her demeanor did not
show it.
From the first the jurors were in
favor of Furnishing Mrs. Kennedy.
On the question of sanity, ten of the
jurors voted that she was sane and
two that she was insane. Just be-
fore retiring Friday night the jury
took a ballot on the degree of guilt
This resulted in ten for second de-
gree murder and two for manslaught-
er in the fourth degree. The first
ballot Saturday morning was unani-
nous for second-degree murder.
