SENTIMENT UPHOLDS
LYNCHING OF NEGRO
Probably No Action Will Be Taken
Against Leaders of Mob at
Wilmington, Del.
RELIC HUNTERS SEIZE BONES.
Judge Who Had Refused TO Call
4 Special Grand Jury Says a
Fair Trial Would Have
Been Impossible.

Wilmington, Del. June Gs.-The natural
and interesting question to-day is whether
the authorities will take action looking to-
ward the arrest and punishment of those
who were prominent in the lynching of the
reEro George White early to-day
That many Of them are known cannot be
doubted. for they were seen by the thou
sands who witnessed the affair. 1t is also
known that the men were invited to par
ticipate and given notice of when and where
to assemble.
1t is fact that public sentiment so gen.
orally approves the iynching that it would
be hard TO secure the conviction of a lynch
err even if arrests are made, which seems
doubtful.
Thousands of persons went to-day in the
drizziins rain to the scene of the lynching.
many of them intent upon securing CHASTITY
relics. In this. however. they met with little
success. as the burning had been so eff
fectual as TO destroy almost every vestise
of she victims body. The only remains were
pieces Of his bones. and most of these were
carried away.
Judge Grubb of the County Court to-day
made public statement in which he de-
pioreS the iynching Of White and its conse-
duent reflection upon the good name of Del
aware Judge Grub also explained the ac-
uon or the court in refusing to call a Spe-
cial session of the Grand Jury for the in
dictment Of Miss Bishops murderer
He SAYS the trial would have been at
tended by such public clamor and prejudice
that fair trial would have been impossible
and the court would have been compelled
to grant the motion of the prisoners counsel
for change of venue.

RESTLESS IN WEST INDIES.
sblishment of Panama Republic
Arouses Danish Colonies.

Copenhagen, Nov 27--The govern
ment officials deny the reports pub
lished abroad of revolutionary move
ment in the Danish West Indies in
consequence of dissatisfaction with
the commissions recommendations on
the subject of improvements in the
islands.
That dissatisfaction exists is admit
ted and it is recognized that the pros
perity OF the new republic of Panama
will conceivably impress the inhab-
itants of the Danish West Indies as
to Strengthening the latent desire in
some quarters to come under the
American flag.
The departure of the new governor
Of st. Thomas for his post was has
tened in hopes that fuller explanations
of the commissions report might
lessen the dissatisfaction and so that
the government might at the earliest
possible moment be in full possession
of the situation. The government
fully realizes the great difficulty OF
legislating and helping the islands to
their satisfaction
The people and government Of Den
mark approved of the United States
action in recognizing the republic of
Panama and request for similar
recognition from Denmark will un-
doubtedly be granted.
