Texas Favors Slave Pensions.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Feb. Sat
the regular meeting today of the R.
E. Lee camp, United Confederate vet
Grams, a resolution indorsing the Sen
ator Hanna bill to pension ex-slaves
was introduced by State Historian
Judge c. c. Cummings and passed by
an almost unanimous vote. There was
some objection on the ground that the
resolution might be construed as po-
lttical. The resolution urges that
Texas representatives in congress
support the Hanna measure to the
extent of rewarding all ex-slaves who
remained at home within the ages set
forth in the bill, or those who went
with their masters in the Civil war,
but that those be excepted who en-
listed in the United States volunteer
service and are already on the pen
sion list

RIOT BETWEEN WHITE
MEN AND NEGROES
Two of the Latter Killed and Nine
Are Wounded.

WAYCROSS, Ga, Feb. S.-Meagre
details of riot that occurred between
two white men and a crowd of negroes
at Beach's still, near Waycross, reach
ed here today.
Two negroes are said to have been
killed and nine others wounded, one
of them mortally. Three Of the wound
ed were women, but their injuries are
not serious. The shooting was done
while negro festival was in progress
last night.
The report is that the white men,
well known in that section, went to
the festival, and after having some
difficulty with some of the negroes,
locked the two doors of the building
in which the negroes were dancing and
commenced firing into the crowd with
shotguns. The house was quickly
cleared of all except the wounded, and
the men are said to have entered the
building and tied the dead and wound
ed negroes together. An inquest was
held by the coroner over the dead
bodies of the two men, but the YER
dict has not been announced.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 8.-The pri-

fore the senate this week, having had

bills introduced. The staIwarts who
are opposed to the administration are
in the majority in the senate and may
block its passage, or at least greatly
modify it, though a strong primary
election clause was incorporated in the
last Republican state platform. This

This measure is strongly urged by the

defeated in the senate, as the members
of that body, as a rule, look askaEce
at the proposition, and refuse to COM
init themselves.
Among the bills killed at the last

provides for a board of examiners for
