TROUBLE in PORTO RICO
PAY DEMANDED BY LABORERs WHO
WE'RE NOT TAKEN TO CUBA.
Five Hundred Emigrants, Bound for
Hawaii, Detained at Ponce TIL
the Vessel Was Searched.

PONCE, Island OF Porto Rico March g.
Yesterday, as 400 emigrants were about TO
embark for the Daiquiri iron mines in Cuba
on the British freighter Aldeborough
Captain Tarrant, the customs officials In
terfered on the ground that the Aldebor-
ough, being a freighter, could not be al
lowed to carry passengers from American
ports. Mr.. Fox, representing the Span
ish American Iron Company who was in
charge of the expedition, dismissed the
cmigrants, who demanded four days pay
for the time they had been waiting TO sail
When he refused to comply with the de-
mand they raised a disturbance and made
threats. although nothing more serious oc-
CURED. Mr. Fox disappeared, and the
emigrants marched in a body TO the City
Hall in quest of the alcalde. When they
arrived there they made another demon
stration, but they were quieted by Chief Of
Police Teller Ultimately they encamped
or the plaza and for a time it was feared
there would be trouble to-day.
They were engaged by agents OF the
Spanish-American Iron Company to work
in the mines for dollar a day Mr.. Fox,
when finally located by a representative
Of the Associated Press, explained that he
was simply an employe of the company
and was under no obligations to make the
payment demanded. He disclaimed all re-
sponsibilty in the affair and laid the blame
on the company for not sending a proper
vessel. He said he had talked the facts
over and cabled the situation to his en-
ployers. The people of Ponce are indignant
at such treatment of their fellow-country-
men, and considerable sentiment has been
aroused.

BALTIMORE, March 3.-William Glenn

and Thomas Scott In whose room the Kill
ing occurred.
After committing the crime the murderer
coolly placed the revolver i'm his pocket,
and as ne walked from the room remarked:
"You people had better look out, or I'll
clean out the batch of you" He then dis
appeared, and at a late hour tonight was
still at large. Jealousy of his stepmother
because OF her influence over his father
and dissatisfaction about money matters
is thought TO have caused the killing.

conference reports which crowded in upon

1t only required a spark to create a scene.
No sensational incident such as usually
occurs during the closing nours had oc-
CURED, however, up to midnight. The gall
leries were packed TO the doors all day and
evening with inauguration visitors. The
confusion and din on the floor, with the
speakers gavel going necessarily to pre-
serve a semblance of order. must have
made the proceedings unintelligible TO
them. There was a big fight during the
afternoon over the Senate amendment TO
the sundry civil bill. which linked together
the fate of the ST. Louis, Buffalo and
Charleston exposition appropriations. Mr..
Cannon, chairman of the appropriations
committee, led the fight against them and
defeated a motion TO concur. resolution

COLUMBIA, S. c., March 3.-Unusual
revelations are expected on Thursday when
the grand jury OF Anderson county reports
TO a special sitting of the court upon the
investigation ordered Feb. 10 by Judge w
c. Benet. The following alleged facts will
be brought TO the attention of the court
That In the convict stockades in Anderson
county were confined negroes guiltless of
any greater crime than refusing 10 comply
with labor contracts which demanded abso-
lutte slavery. These contracts should not
have been held lawful. and the negroes
though never taken before a magistrate
were by physical force kept in bondage
and made 10 work as felons The con-
tracts signed by these ignorant negroes
were negotiable paper. \ land owner hav-
ing negro bound TO him for a years work

The attention of the court was directed to
this matter by evidence in the trial Of
Chatt Newell, a planter whose farms are
worked by convicts. Newell was charged
with murder, having shot Will Hull a
negro. trying 10 escape from his stockade

WASHINGTON. March AT o'clock
this morning both branches of Congress
were still i'm session. All the appropriation
bills had been finally acted on except the
sundry civil and the river and harbor ap-
preparation bills. The two latter are still
in conference. Before the Senate went into
executive session at 2:3O o'clock a. m. Mr..
Nelson, in charge of the river and harbor
appropriation bill, gave notice that he
would not give way for any measure that
would give rise to debate. This statement
was made when Mr.. Allison presented the
sundry civil bill. AS long as the river and

civil bill, and no debate can be had on
items from which the Senate will have to
recede before there can be an agreement.
1t is not known how long the fight is TO be
kept up on the river and harbor bill. The

MOB RULE AT A SEAPORT
DOCKNIEN, sEAMEN AND sTOKERs
ON STRIKE AT MARsEILLEs.
Vessels Unable to Discharge Cnrgoes
ers-CIash with Gendarmes.

MARSEILLES, March 3.-A mob of sea-
men and stokers who Joined the strike of
dock laborers marched to the docks this
morning and endeavored to induce the
crews to quit the steamers There was
some disorder before the strikers were dis
persed by the police. The steamship COM
panies are experiencing considerable diff
ficulty in recruiting laborers, and a num-
Der of ships which have arrived since the
strike began have been compelled to pro-
ceed without dscharging their cargoes. The
Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company's Golconda, from London. pro-
ceeded for India without discharging 290
tons of cargo consigned to Marseilles, and
the same company's Himalaya, from CO.
lombo. proceeded for London, unable to
discharge 1000 bales of silk.
The government has ordered the Mediter-
ranean light livsion consisting of six
cruisers, to coal at Toulon, with a view
to taking the mail services for AL
geria and Corsica in the event Of the strik-
ers interfering with the mail packets.
Several steamers managed to discharge
perishable cargoes by the aid of the crews
and employees of the consignees. While this
was being done the strikers gathered threat
eningly. but the police and gendarmes drove
them back ana escorted the wagons to the
warehouses. Two unescorted carts laden
with fish were waylaid by strikers, who
overturned them and then mounted on the
boxes and sang the "Carmagnole." Again
the rioters were dispersed by the gendarmes.
Several steamers are discharging at Saint
Louis, the Rhine. where the lockers
have refused to join the Marseiles strikers

appeal from them on former occasion.

produced a condition in conference that
was without parallel in his experience.
FAVORED A BACK-DOWN.
Mr.. Platt, of Connecticut, thought it was
not so important that three more Holland
torpedo boats be contracted for. as that
the bill as a whole should be enacted. He
was inclined to favor recession by the SEN
ate upon that item, unless the dignity and
honor of the Senate were involved.
Mr.. Hale after some discussion. said as
the time of the session was growing short,
he would offer a resolution discharging the
present Senate conferees and requesting
that the House grant further conference
on the naval bill. 1t was adopted.
The safety appliance bill then was passed
without further discussion.
At $40 p. m. a partial report of the con-
ferees on the river and harbor bill was
presented by Mr.. Nelson. and it was agreed
to. further conference was ordered.
At Gas D. m. Mr.. Wolcott moved report
upon the postoffice appropriation bill, say
ing that there was no further disagree
ment except on the two amendments Of
the Senate concerning the extension of the
rural free delivery system to small towns
and directing the postmaster general to
report on the feasibility of the use of the
telegraph and telephone wires as part of
the postal system. The report was agreed
TO and a further conference was ordered on
the items in dispute.
Mr.. Hale made a second report of the
conference upon the naval appropriation
bill, saying that a complete agreement had
been arrived at on all points of difference
on that bill except on the Senate amend
ment authorizing the construction of three
additional submarine torpedo boats.
Mr.. Wolcott moved that the Senate re-
cede from its disagreement upon that
point. Mr.. Stewart and Mr. Tillman an
tagonized the motion. Mr. Tillman said
there should be fifty of such boats. He
thought the boats more effective than bat
tleshlps.
The abandonment of the amendment was
advocated by Messrs. Piatt and Hawley, of
Connecticut, Hanna and Perkins. The SEN
ate urged to stand firm by Messrs.
Butler and Chandler.
