through the town. driving all negroes
into the negro section. A concerted at
tack was then made on the negro quar-
ter, the police we're swept aside, houses
were burned, and every negro was driven
out of town.

his back. with knife at his throat. The

that the negro be given trial. For
half-an-hour he talked, and the mob
listened to him, with the negro in their

mob began dispensing, but suddenly. Il
rush was made for the SPOT where the
negro was being held, and he was drag

fastened around his neck, and after the
rope had been thrown over the cross
bars OF a telegraph pole a score OF men
attempted to pull the negro from the

swung into the air and strangled to

Northwestern Miller says: Every
flour mill in Minneapolis and practi-
callx all OF the merchant spring wheat
mills in Minnesota and the Northwest
shut down entirely and will cease turn
ing out flour for an indefinite period.
This act has been forced upon the mil
lers by the conditions surrounding the
manufacture and sale OF -four.
For some time, owing to the price
OF cash wheat, the high rates OF freight
and the depressed state oi the -four
markets, mills have been operating at
loss, but the crowning disadvantage
which has paralyzed the milling indus
try throughout the Northwest was the
act OF the line boats operating between
Duluth and Buffalo in moving wheat
on basis OF two cents bushel. while
the present proportionate rate on flour
from Duluth to Buffalo is maintained
at nine cents per 100 pounds. equiva-
lent to 4-Io cents bushel.

Considers Sending Of Squadron to Marseilles
Direct Aiiront

Berlin (By Cable).-The news that
the American squadron in European
waters has been ordered to Marseilles
to participate in the reception OF Pres
ident Loubet on April 80 has aroused a
storm OF indignation, following as it
does the refusal to allow the battleship
squadron to visit Kiel. The refusal is
regarded as a direct affront to Ger
many.
The Tageblatt declares the fact ought
to be a salutary lesson to the Germans
not to trucklc TO America. 1t is now
clear, the paper continues, that perma-
nent friendly relations between Ger
many and America are impossible.
The Tagliche Rundschau says it is "a
smack in the face for Germany" and
that Germans will never forget the in
srlt.
The Deutschc Zeitung welcomes the
incident because it shows the Germans
how the Americans really regard them.
Most OF the papers comment in similar
strain.
