came in and little new on the bull side.
The weather is fine and crop reports
very favorable. There was some DISPOSE

that enough new wheat might come in
over Sunday to make something of a
showing at primary points and SO afford
opportunity for a bear attack on Mon

Admiral Cotton and Companions to
 Be Accorded Every Courtesy. Portsmouth July 6.--In the midst of the entertainment of President Loubet England has not neglected to make full preparations for the reception of Rear Admiral Cotton's squadron tomorrow. E It had not been expected that the American warships would arrive until to. morrow and Sir Archibald Berkely Mo.ne. | commander of the royal yacht. especially detailed by King Edward. tonight had q long conference with Sir Charles Hotharf. admiral commanding at Portsmouth. and Lord Charles Beresford, commanding the channel squadron, regarding the details of the reception.
 The heavy weather in the channel drove the Kearsarge. the San Francisco and the Chicago into Spithead tonight. As soon as the news was communicated to Admiral Hotham, the vessels of the cham nel squadron began to twinkle welcome with their electric lights. but beyond this there was no demonstration this even ing. The gunboat Machias has not yet arrived.
 The British squadron at Portsmouth ia more formidable in offensive power than the channel squadron. which received President Loubet at Dover today. It dn-  Magnificent, Mars. Prince George. Jupiter and Hannibal; the armored cruisers Hope and Sutlej, the protected cruisers Dois. Pactolus and Prometheus.
 The city is decorated with the British and American colors. The American ships assembled at Spit Head will enter at 9:30 tomorrow morning at Portsmouth harbor, passing through the line oe British warships which will fire salutes. This compliment will be returned by tha Kearsarge and her consorts, which will be escorted to their berths in the inner hars bor.
 Official calls will then be exchanged by Lord Charles Beresford, Admiral Milne and Rear Admiral Cotton. The entertain- ment will be robbed somewhat of the spectacular character of the ceremonies at Kiel, since King Edward. unlike the German emporer, will be unable to be present.
 Admiral Hotham will be the host tomoF- row night. giving a dinner at the ads miralty house.

outside of Italy, and this circumstance adds to the speculatin in Catholic cir cles about his probable successor and the course which he may adopt in treat ingswith the Catholic church of the Phil ippines, Porto Rico and Cuba.
 Pope Leo took great deal of pride in the Catholic University. now in course of construction here, and 1t is feared that his death may fesult in delaying the completion of this york so dear to Cath olics the country over.
 The University is said to be in crit ical straights and its officers will miss the kindly advice and friendly help of the present Pontin when he is gone. It was upon Leo's advice that the Order oi Frnnciscans established their commisa- riat ih this city and when the Order of Dominicians were compelled to leave Pa ris and to abandon their great house. es- tablished by them in 1900. it was Leo who advised their general to turn his face toward America and to settle in the United States.
 This later order is now erecting $3oO.- 900 structure within a stone's throw of the headquarters of the Order of Fran ciscans. R. H. Watkins.

NEGROES FLEE FOR LIFE.
The Blacks Are Leaving Evansville
 in Hordes.


 Evansville. Ind, July Swallowing the race riots of last night and this morning, the situation is still menacing and out breaks are liable to occur at any min ute The day has been one of nervous dread.
 Early this evening the Evansville com pany of militia quietly assembled around the jail and is awaiting there under arms. Blacks and whites have passed each other today with dark looks; there has been firing heard in various parts of the city during the afternoon, but no se- rious results have followed, and the firing has, 1t is thought. been the work of a few unruly characters who wanted to foment trouble.
 The last work of the mob this morn- ing before 1t dispersed was to destroy the Blue Goose" saloon. negro resort in Baptist Town. The windows and doors were demolished and a hundred shots were fired. There was a circus in town today. which brought additional crowds of sympathizers with. the different races. The police were at work preventing crowds from gathering. There were dog ems of personal encounters, but no duels with weapons.
 In the shooting of last night it was re- ported to officers today that Henry Arm. young white man, was shot in the thigh.
 The grand jury met today and indicted Lee Brown, the negro who killed Patrol man Massey, of murder in the first de- gree.
 The general spirit of unrest and unea- siness caused meeting of Mayor Covert, Sheriff Kratz and the company officers, at which the situation was discussed and plans made to protect all citizens if an- other outbreak is precipitated. All sa- Ev, AIa atk, Cl1 evening at 6 o'clock. Mayor Covert is- sued the following proclamation late this afternoon:
 The condition of anarchy and lawless- ness that prevailed in this community last night was a disgrace to civilized peo- pie and a repetition of its scandalous proceedings will not be tolerated, To obviate a similar enactment. 1t is hereby ordered that all saloon keepers in the city of Evansville close their places of business at p. m. and keep closed until 6 a m. Tuesday.
 All congregations Of people, either on street corners or other public places, are hereby prohibited.
 All porsens carrying arms or any kind of weapons shall be arrested"
 Baptist Town Is being depopulated to- day. Negro families by the dozens are leaving. some of them taking refuge in the open air. Newburg road. leading to the West, is lined with negroes in wag- ons and camped by the roadside. Nearly all are armed.
 The freaDms and ammunition taken from the stores broken into last night are still in the hands of those who com posed the mob. There were no arraign- ments in police court today. Under the advice of the Mayor Judge Curry ad- journed court on account of the excite ment.

Atlanta, July 6-The House of Repre- sentatives of the Georgia Legislature, af- ter a heated debate. killed by an over whelming vote the resolution providing that the distribution of money to common schools, the country authorities should apportion the money among schools for whites and colored youths according to the taxable property of the two races.

INTEREST OF AMERICA.
Leo XIII Was Ever Friend of This
 Nation.

Washington. July 6.-(Special. )-Papal Delegate Falconi Is not now in Washing ton. but an officer of his household, in cable communication with Rome. will re- main up all night so as to be in readi- ness to receive the news when the end of the Pontiff shall be flashed over the world.
 The friends of the American hierarchy are greatly interested in Leo XIII. for, apart from the fact that he was great and good, it is universally conceded that he was a staunch friend of the Ameri- can church It is of interest therefore. to American clerics that his successor shall be equally friendly and yielding. Through the kind offices of the present PontifS the Philippine church was being rapidly Americanized, a work which might be retarded. If not destroyed. with the next head of the Catholic church less favorably inclined.
 It is also acknowledged that the United States, in view of it's large Catholic pop ulation, has an interest in the success sion of the Pope second to no country
