On one occasion, when the late Col,
W, NJ. Inge was arguing case before
Judge Hill one hot summer day at
Oxford, he asked the courts permis-
SIGN to remove his shirt collar. "Cer-
tainly, Colonel" was the amiable re-
sponsc Of Judge Hill. Proceeding fur
ther, lie said, "May it please your
honor, If you have no objection, l
would like to remove this vest" "All
right, Colonel, make yourself comfort
able" replied the Judge. After few
minutes more, the Colonel lnyolunta-
riy dropped the right suspender, and
then the left, whensJudge Hill ex-
claimed: Now, that will'1o, Colonel
Il draw the line on the pants!"

FOB NON DELIVERY OF COTTON.
The Suit of Rolli Brothers Against NJ. L. Rock
more is Won.
(y the Associated Press.)

Atlanta. Ga, --une 20.--The case OF
Rail- rothers, subjects of Great Britain,
who have been suing M. L. Rockmore,
cotton dealer in this State for 81 ITS
damages on account of non delivery of
83 bales of cotton ordered by them,
was decided this morning for the plain
tiff, by Judge Newman, in the Federal
Court.
The court thought that the only ques-
tion of law was whether the plaintiffs
right to recover should be tested ana
determined by the price of cotton at
the time it should have been delivered
by Rockmore in October, November ana
December, or when he finally notified
the plaintiffs that he would not comply
with the contract, on January 4th, 1899
cotton having risen during this period.
The court held that the breach of con-
tract was on January 4th, 1899, and that
the different lots of cotton were sclG and
the price which Ralli Brothers were re-
quired to pay is the proper basis for
recovery in this case and that is the
amount which the plaintiffs were dam
aged and which they are entitled to re-
cover
This amount would be 2,427, assuming
that there is agreement among counsel
that the deficit is SS3 bales.
plaintiffs suit was only brought, how
ever, for $2,175, and necessarily their re-
covery must be limited to this amount"

BRUTALITIEs OF THE TROOPS.
General Chaffee Tells of the Shooting Of In.
offensive Chinese.
(By the Associated Press }


Washington, June 2O.-The report of
Major General Chaffee on the campaign in
China is being prepared for publication
at the War Department. Some of Gen
cal Chaffee's comments are interesting.
AT one point he says:
For about three weeks following the
arrival of the relief column at Pekin the
condition in and about the city and along
the line of communication was bad.
Looting of the city, uncontrolled forag-
ing in the surrounding country and seiz-
ure by soldiers of everything Chinaman
might have, as vegetables, chickens,
sheep, cattle, etc, whether being brought
to the city or found on the farm, indis-
criminate and generally unprovoked
shooting of Chinese in city, country and
along the line of march and the river
all this did not tend, as was natural. to
gain for the troops the confidence of the
masses, with whom it is certain we have
no quarrel. but were in need of their Ia
Dor. 1t is safe to say that where one
real Boxer mas been killed since the cap
ture of Pekin,r fifty harmless coolies or la
borers ON farms, including not a few wo-
men and children have been slain. No
doubt the Boxer element is largely mixed
with the mass of population, and by slay-
ing a lot. one or more Boxers might be
taken in
General Chaffee speaks of the restraint
he placed upon American troops. The
Japanese commander also made it known
that general war on all classes was not
intended.
General Chaffee says he opposed en-
tering the Forbidden City unless looting
was prohibited This was agreed to and
he thinks but little looting has been done
there, though articles have been offered
for sale said to have been taken from
the Forbidden City.

THEY DISCUSS TARIFF ISSUES.
Russian Ambassador and italian Charge Con
fer With Hay.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, June 20.-The Russian
Ambassador, Count Cassini, had con-
ference of about half an hour with Sec
retary Hay today during which the
tariff issues which have arisen were
discussed quite fully. The conference
did not however, lead to any new de-
velopment in the matter. 1t is under
stood, howver, that the exchanges
brought about renewed assurances from
the ambassador that Russia's action
was entirely devoid of political impor-
tance, and was in no way Connected
with any general movement in Europe
antagonistic to American products.
The italian Charde d'Affaires, Mr..
Carifnani, also had "a talk with Secre-
tary Hay, during which tariff matters
were informally discussed. In connec-
tion with the differential duty now
levied on Italian sugar, the Italian au-
thorities state that their official re-
turns as to imports show that no Ital-
ian sugar was brought into the United
States last year.

Richmond, Va, June 20.-The Constitu-
ticral Convention today decided to hold
all of its sessions in Richmond and with
the possible exception of a few days re-
cess fro mtime to time, that the sessions
shall be continuous.
The first resolution on the suffrage
question with reference to the proposed
new constitution was offered today by
Delegate T. W. Harrison, of Frederick
county, and is as follows:
Resolved 1st, that universal suffrage
has been in the past safely and success
fully entrusted to the white race. The
honest white man, whether unlettered
or without property, ought not to be de-
prived of the right of suffrage, which he
has used for the good of the state and
which it is essential for him to have to
preserve the equilibrium of society, so
taht there may be no favored class or
caste.
Resolved End, that it is not race l're-
judice, but actual experience and Obser-
vation in this and other Southern States,
which declares that universal negro suf-
frage has been attended with great evils
to the body polite, and to both races
Wherever the negro has obtained control
of the government, or exercised a uoten-
tial influence therein, intolerar rle mis-
government has been the result. Even
where the negro vote has been no more
than an inconsiderable factor, corruption
and decentralization have been its inva-;
riable attendant and education of the ne
gro has done nothing to improve this
condition.
Resolved 3rd, that the fifteenth

tuition is wrong in that it proceeds on the

theory that the two races are equally
competent of free government. This
theory is contradicted not only by the
experience of the South, but by tie his
tory of the two races, since the dawn of
history.
This convention therefore, ought to in
augurate through the proper channels
the proper steps to its repeal or amend
ment, so thai each State may control its
suffrage, as its best interests demand.
Resolved 4th, that it is not the pur
pose of the State to deny the negro any
civil right nor to disfranchise any negro
who has sufficient freehold estate to give
him permanent and substantial interest
in the welfare of the State nor, if any
discrimination is made against him in the
right of suffrage, to claim any represen-
tation in Congress or to the electoral co-
lege based upon negro population, but
ipso facto, to surrender it until Congress
shall declare what additional representa-
tion shall be iven to tie State to the
extent that suffrage is given the negro"

mittee on Suffrage Ito be named).
Mr. Thorn, Of Norfolk, presented the
following, which he asked to have re-
ferl ed to the Committee on Suffrage:
Resolved, that the Committee on Elec-

and report to this convention for it's

Letters Found.
(By the Associated Press.)

New Orleans, La, June 2O.-Quiet pre-

negroes arrested in connection with the
murder of John Gray Foster, the planter
Prophet" Smith and F. d. McLand, were
lynched during the night.
kilograms from Shreveport today state
that evidence was discovered so clearly
establishing the identity of Smith and
McLand as enemies or the white race and
dangerous elements among the negroes
that their extinction came to be regarded
as essential to the preservation of or
der in the parish.
AS it became the general belief that
Prince Edward the negro accused of
killing Foster will never be captured, the
mob determined to act without further
delay.
Smith confessed Just before he was
lynched that he loaded the gun with which
Foster was killed.
Many letters of incendiary tenor, writ
ten by Smith and his fellows, were found
Indications of eonspiracies against Chief
Lake Of the Shreveport police, Foster and
others ran through the missives and, in
connection with the minutes of a meeting
of the Church of the Living Cod of
which Smith was the head. precipitated
the lynching.
Sheriff Thompson of Bossier, in view OF
the large mob, made no attempt to in
terfere.
Prophet" Smith founded the organiza-
tion previously mentioned at Houston.
Later he went to Shreveport and imme-
diately set about organizing there.
Chief of Police Lake declared him to be
a dangerous person and ordered him to
leave, but he went no further than the
Foster plantation.
After the shooting of Foster search
of Smiths rooms revealed a so-called Ark
of the Covenant. 1t was a rudely' con-
structed box, bearing within and without
mystic symbols. When the officials took
hold of the box the negroes were panic
stricken.
Further search revealed the minutes of
a meeting of the society. It's members
were denomnated as Princes and Smith
as the King Following is a copy of the
minutes of a meeting held on the Foster
place

interfering with the King of the Church
