TO LYNCH NEGROES.
Mob at Asbury Park Thwarted by the
-. Police.

-. - x0t1Co.
A special to the Baltimore American
from Asbury Rark. N. J.. yesterday says:
An attempt to lynch three negroes here
was only frustrated by the prompt action
of the chief of Neptune township police
Walter Gravatt. Andrew Kelley and Will
lam Riley had been arrested. charged with
deliberately running over Miss Jennie Gov
with a woman, were driving in a carriage.
and. IL Is claimed. shouted curses at the
girl and drove on. leaving her on the road
way.
Parties In two automobiles found the
young woman bleeding and unconscious,
and while one hurried with her to the hos
pital at Long Branch the other chased the
col0red trio.
The negroes were caught, and when the
citizens learned the particulars concerning
the accident they determined to deal sum-
marfly with the prisoners.
Stages and carriages were soon loaded
with determined men, and the run to the
jail was made In quick time.
Word was sent Chief Gravatt of the
mob's intention. and he Immediately sur
rounded the jail with his forces. Then the
prisoners were quickly afraigned and held
without bail to await the result OF Miss
Coverts injuries They were handcuffed
together and driven to the county Jail at
Freehold while the crowd clamored about
the court.
When the mob learned that they had
been outwftted some wanted to pursue the
police and prisoners. but the officials had
got a good start. and the throng gradually
dispersed.
The young woman victim Is still In the
hospital, and II Is thought she may not
survive her injuries

RUSSIA AND JAPAN TO FIGHT.
Belief That the Struggle Over Manchu-
ria is Inevitable.

According to the Tientsin correspondent
of the London Standard, the opinion pre-
walls in Russian circles there that the out
break of hostilities in the far east is inev-
table. 1t is reported that the Japanese are
mobilizing their forces 1t is thought at
Tientsin that in the event of war with
Russia everything would favor the Japa-
nese, who certainly are in a better state of
preparation.
The Simla correspondent of the Daily
Mail telegraphs that Sir Ernest Satow,
British minister at Picking. will arrive there
July to confer with Lord Curzon, viceroy
Of India. The visit Is generally attributed
to the aspect of affairs In Manchuria. as
an Anglo Russian rupture would closely
affect India through Afghanistan.
Replying to a question propounded In the
house of commons on the number of Brit
ish. American, and Japanese warships 10
the Gulf of Pc Chi Ii, and the object OF
the gathering of the Russian and other
fleets there. Admiralty Secretary Arnold
Forster said there were twelve British
ships IN those waters, but the admiralty
was not aware that any special gathering
of warships had occurred. or that there
was any special object aimed at by the
powers responsible for the movements OF
the vessels in Chinese waters.

Aaron Burr.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
There is a kind of fascination for the un-
trained mind in restoring a historic figure,
that has long stood in niche of dishonor.
to a place of admiration. Hence the ef-
forts Of Horace Walpole to regild the
hunchback image of Richard III: of Froude
to sanctify the wayward and bloody ca
prices of Henry VIII. and Of a few senti-
mentalists to find virtues in the medley of
vices and graces that made UP the Stuart
family. By like impulse several Amert-
can writer's have undertaken at different
periods to set up the dishonored figure of
Aaron Burr, whom the New England fed
eralists would gladly have made President.
in something the same light as that in
which Puritanic Connecticut and CONNER
cial Massachusetts, tried to. look at him
when their hatred of Jefferson impelled
them to vote for him in 1901. 1t is a vain
labor: the character of Burr is too well
understood. and the personal glamour that
he exerted with men and women is too
completely dispelled to allow anything but
discredit to rest upon his name. In overt
acts he was not SO traitorOus as Benedict
Arnold; but in essential treason he was
more Infamous, and his victims were more
numerous and important. Arnold had the
traits of the bold mercenary; Burr Of the
insidious seducer.
