Baxter of the EIdorado roubI

Springfield. H., July 7.-Governor
Yates today received from Sam Bax-
ter. sheriff of Saline county, an an
swer TO his recent letter in which he
reprimanded the officer for his failure
to protest negroes connected with the
colored school at Eldorado, who were
victims OF white caps. Baxter alleges
that he did not advise negroe to leave
and that he did all in his power to pro-
tect them and also that he had enlist
ed the aid of the United States deputy
marshal. He does not say, however.
that he is endeavoring to bring back
the negroes who have been driven
away with assurances of protection.
Governor Yates, IN reply, at once sent
a letter to Sheriff Baxter, in which he
says:
You deny that you advised any one
TO leave your county and assert tia
you have don and are now doing all
that is necessary to protect life and
property and personal rights. I sin
cerely hope your statements are cor

several things which indicate tina you

ed States deputy marshal 10 perform
some of your duties and you utterly
failed to respond to my request that
you locate some of the parties that
have left and invite them to return,
with the assurance that you will pro-
tect them. My demand upon you in
this particular was explicit and / shall
not make If a gain hIrt n-naapl RI com

Caracas stating that the Venezuela
government has notified him thai Pres

and take personal charge of the army
and that he Is to lead a forlorn hope.
In other quarters, however, confidence
is expressed hat Castro will repel the

LY DEFEATED.

Washington, May 9.-The oppo-
siton in the house to the bill for
the admission Of Oklahoma, Arizo-
ma and New Mexico collapsed ct
at the last minute today, and the

it came from the committe, except
for few verbal amendment offered
by Mr. Overstreet of Indiana to
join New Mexico aud Arizona and
to admit them as the state of Mon
tezuma. 1t was beaten, % to LOG,
and all opposition then ceased.
The closing scenes of the debate
were accompanied by a draioahc
incident Delegate Mark A. Smith
of Arizona, who has been lighting
for the admission of his territory
for dozen years, had just mads |
vigorous speech against the Over
street amendment, when he was
sized with rush Of blood TO the
head. He was conveyed to the
lobby, where several physicians
who are members of the house, by
the prompt administration Of pow
erful heat stimulants saved him
from stroke of apoplexy. HeI
later rallied and was removed to
his hotel.
The bill as passed today provides
enabling acts Cor Oklahoma, Arizo-
ma and New Mexico, similar in form
TO former enabling acts, with the
exception that the constitutional
contention of New Mexico is an
powered to designate the name by
which the new state shall enter rbe
union, and in the case OF ,Glqleho-
ma the convention by irrevoceble
ordinance shall express the con-
sent of that state that congress at
any future time may attach all or
any part of Indian territory to it,
The enabling acts differ from one
another chiefly in reference to the
public lands appropriated for edu-
oational and public purposes.
The latter part of The session wos
devoted to private pension bills, 81
of which were passed 28 original,
81 for increases aud 5 to complete

effort to adopt it. Mr.. Overstreet
made vigorous speech in support
of it, arguing rhat its purpose was
to benefit the people Of the two
territories.
