RAISE ROW AT BOOKER II. WASH
INGTON's BOSTON MEETING.
Twenty-Five Policemen Necessary to
Restore Order-An Officer Stabbed
with a Hat Pin.

BOSTON, July 30.--An attempt on the
part of half a dozen negroes who are op
posed to Booker Il. Washington, president
of Tuskegee Institute, to ask questions at
a meeting which he was addressing to-
night at the Zion Church, almost resulted
in riot, and twenty-five policemen were
called to quell the disturbance. Several
arrests were made, one policeman was
stabbed with hat pin, while man, said
to be one of those opposed to Mr. Washing
ton, was cut several times with razor
and was taken to hospital. After the
rests Mr.. Washington was allowed to pro-
ceed, and spoke for nearly two hours.
Both factions at the close of the meet
ing issued statements. Mr.. Washington
said in his statement that the negroes of
Boston should not be held responsible for
few riotous individuals, while William
Munroe Trotter. one of those who was ar
rested, said the cause of the rioting was
the ruling of the chairman, Mr. Lewis, i'm
ordering the arrest and election of any
person who Kissed or manifested any OBJ
lection to the speaker of the evening.
1t is said that the disturbance was pre-
arranged. After the meeting Trotter and
his friends admitted that they went there
with the idea of asking Mr. Washington a
number of questions and to resent any at
tack that might be made on the New Eng
land representatives to the recent Afro
American council at Louisville. The meet
ing was held under the auspices OF the
Colored Business Mems Association of Bos-
ton, and William II. Lewis, United States
assistant district attorney, presided.

July 3O.-Passengers who have just arrived
from Caracas say that in consequence of
the incident which occurred last Monday at
Laguayra, where, result of friction be-
tween the Spanish consul and the local au-
thorties, the exequatur of the consul was
withdrawn, the diplomatic corps at Caracas
met and decided to send a joint note pro-
testing against the action of the Laguyara
authorities and the withdrawal of the exc
quatur of the Spanish consul. They took
this action, it is said. not for the purpose
of assisting the Spanish claims before the
mixed tribunal, but because of the prece-
dent which would be established and be-
cause they considered it contrary to the
protocols made with the powers and signed
by Mr. Bowen, the United States minister
acting as the representative of President
Castro.

PLACERVILLE, Cal, July 30.--Although
hundreds of heavily armed men are now
engaged in the search for the fugitive con-

situation. They have succeeded in eluding
their pursuers, and the ultimate escape of
at least some of the men seems highly
probable. Since the fatal fight at Pilot Hill

vtcts was killed, the others have not been
