TWO NEGROES LYNCHED.
Suspected of the Foster Murder at
Benton, Ala.


A dispatch from Shreveport, La, last
night says: Frank, better known as 'Proph-
et." Smith and F. D. McLand, held at Ben
ton for completely in the murder Of John
Gray Foster were taken out by a mob to-
night and strung up to tree. They were
left dangling side by side.
The lynching occurred on the Arkansas
road, about one mile and a half from the
Jail. Both negroes made statements before
death, denying that they had anything to
do with the killing.
Smith. who was the head Of the Church
Of God" movement in that section, and was
blamed as being responsible for the senti-
ment against the whites which led to the
death Of Foster. died praying. McLand
was silent as he was swung up.
AS Smith was being led from the Jail
prior to the execution he was heard to say:
Lord. you promised to be with me now"
There were about 200 armed men in the
mob, and they overpowered the sheriff and
1ailer, taking the keys away from them.
The lynchers claimed that the execution of
these negroes was necessary to the preser-
walton Of the lives Of white men in this
locality.

RIOT AT PRO-BOER MEETING
LONDON JINGOES ATTEMPT A COUN-
TER DEMONSTRATION.
Disturbcrs Elected by "GanE of
Foreign Rufiians"-COmm
of the Press.

A dispatch from London last night says:
Thousands of people began collecting out
side of Queens Hall two hours before the
advertised time of the pro-Boer meeting
held there tonight. When the doors were
finally opened the pressure of the surging
mob was so great that many people faint
ed. There was considerable disturbance,
and windows were broken during the at
tempts made by persons without tickets to
gain admission. Some of these were ex-
PEELED.
In spite of the vigilance of the promoters
of the meeting. many tingoes gained an
entrance TO the hall. which was crammed
from floor to ceiling. Much hooting min
gled with cheers, greeted the delegates
upon their arrival, and during the evening
the delivery of speeches was attended with
some difficulty from the same cause.
Mr. Henry Labouchere presided at the
meeting. and besides ]. w. Sauer (ex-com-
missioner of public works of Cape Colony
many prominent pro-Boers, including Mr..
John Dillon. leader of the nationalists
party; Mr. David Lloyd-George (Welsh ma
tionalisD, Mr.. James Keir Hardie Social
istD and Sir Wilfrid Lawson were present.
During the meeting fully 10000 jingoes
gathered outside The Queens Hall, in Re-
gent street, blocked traffic and necessitated
relays of policemen to keep a semblance of
order in the crowd Several men mounted
the parapet of the Langham Hotel and
waving union jacks proposed resolutions
against the pro-Boer agitation, which they
declared to have been carried when the
meeting in Queens Hall terminated
The usual speeches were made and the
usual resolutions were carried amid much
commotion and excitement. The resolu-
tions included an amendment in favor of
the complete Independence of the Boer re-
publics proposed by Baron Battersea for
the radicals which did with he
approval of the Labouchere party. The
meeting ended with the singing of Mar

Several collisions occurred between the
crowd outside the Eall and the police, and
the latter had the greatest difficulty in
handling the assemblage. No casualties
were reported
The Daily Mail asserts that the pro-
moters of the Queens Hall meeting secur-
ed the services Of six or seven hundred
'stalwarts' as stewards. These gangs
of foreign ruffians'' were found inside the
hall according to the Daily Mail, ready
to. keep order and eject the malcontents.
The 'stalwarts'' were drawn from the
low class foreign clubs in Soho. Many of
them were armed with sticks, broom
handles and knuckle busters, and, the
Daily Mail says, they acted with unre-
strained violence in excluding royalists and
throwing out undesirable persons
All the loyalist papers publish editorials
protesting against the "effrontery' of the
Queens Hall meeting. 1t is generally ad-
mitted that the 100 stewards were recruit
ed from among stalwart gasworkers, mar
ket porters. &c The Standard declares

THE PLAIN PATH OF DUTY
WHY 1T WAS DECIDED TO TAKE
THE PHILIPPINES.
Issue of the American Red Book fol
1898 Detailing Our Foreign
Relations.

The American red book for 1893, compris-
ing the foreign relations during the event
full period of the Spanish-American war,
has just made its appearance. It contains
an exhaustive summary of the official cor
respondence. The Dupuy de LONE incident
and the blowing up OF the Maine are treat
ed under separate heads.
The first official notification to Spain that
the United States expected the independ-
ence of Cuba was tn a dispatch from Secre-
tary Day to Minister Woodford, March %.
1893. The President had previously in
structed Mr. Woodford to endeavor to have
Spain grant Cuba full self-government." !"
Spain at once asked the meaning Of this
term In reply secretary pay Ga6led d f1i'
mean Cuban independence 1t appears
that Just before the war broke out Minis
ter Woodford sent word that the queen
regent yielding to- the request Of the pope,
was about to decree a termination Of the
war in Cuba for a period OF six months.
MT. Woodford was hopeful this would
avert crisis in the trouble between Spain
not realized, as Congress soon after adopt
ed the resolution Of Intervention.
Early in the war the State Department
directed our ambassador at London to dis
creetly sound the British government upon
our war vessels using the Suez canal. In
reply it was stated that the British govern
ment held that we were unquestionably en-
titled to the use Of the canal for warships.
The declarations OF neutrality by most Of
the foreign governments, except Germany,
are given, and as to Germany. Ambassador
White gives a conference with Baron Won
Buelow. in which the latter says that Ger
many has not for twenty years issued a
proclamation Of neutrality.
The peace negotiations. both in Washing
ton and Paris, are given in extenso. When
Secretary Hay cabled Mr. Day, saying:
1.-THE sentiment in the United States Is al
most universal that the people Of the
Philippines, whatever else is done, must be
liberated from Spanish domination. In this
sentiment the President fully concurs. Nor
can we permit Spain to transfer any of
the islands to another power. Nor can We

invite another power or powers to Join the
United States in sovereignty over them
We must either hold them or turn them
back to Spain. Consequently grave as are
the responsibilities, and unforeseen as are
the dihculties which are before us, the
President can see but one plain path OF
duty-the acceptance of the archipelago"
The foreign relations with other coun-
tries during 1893 also are treated Few OF
the Incidents are of Importance It appears
however, that Mr.. Sherman, then Secretary
OF state, had spirited exchange with the
Henglemuller The latter had said that
his government would hold the United
States government responsible for the
rioting at Lattimer. Pa. Mr.. Sherman
took took sharp issue, with the ''remarka-
Bile language" used by the minister. and
registered an absolute dissent from some
of his views

Initial stages Of the trouble. One OF MI.
