Tho room traders developed their attack upon
Atchison In the hrst hour, aud the effect OF II
was TO some extent felt in tha rest OF the list,
although the selling was not urgent anywhere
and the market could not have been called weak
London WAS a very light trader either way,
and the commission houses were doing practt-
calling nothing
The selling OF Atchison by acme Western
interests gave point TO the report that 1t was
some such weak account that the traders were
going for.

WASHINGTON WAS THERE
Opponents of His Policy Start
 ed a Row.
Policemen Called in to Quell the Das- turbance, and One of Them Was Stabbed With
 Hat Pin.

Boston, July S0.-An attempt on the part of half a dozen negroes who are opposed to Booker T. Washington, Pres tdent of Tuskegee Institute, to ask ques- tions at a meeting which he was ad- dressing tonight at the Zion Church, all most resulted in riot, and twenty-five policemen were called to quell the dis turbance. Several arrests were made, one policeman was stabbed with a hat pin, while a man, said to be one of those op- posed to Washington, was cut several times with a razor and was taken to a hospital
 After the arrests. Principal Washington was allowed to proceed and spoke for nearly two hours.
 Both factions at the close of the meet ing issued statements Washington said in his statement that the negroes of Bos- ton should not be held responsible for a few riotous individuals, while William Monroe Trotter. one of those who was arrested, said the cause of the rioting was the ruling of the chairman, one Lewis, in ordering the arrest and ejec- tion of any person who hissed or mani fested any objection to the speaker of the evening.
 It is said the disturbance was pre-ar- ranged. After the meeting Trotter and his friends admitted that they went there with the idea of asking Washington a number of questions to resent any attack that might be made on the New England representatives to the recent Afro-Amer- ican Council at Louisville.
 The meeting was held under the aus pices of the Colored Business Mems As sociation of Boston. at which H. w. Lewis, the negro Assistant United States District Attorney presided.

Admiral Dewey Selected President If

 Washington, July 3o.-IThe first meeting of the general policy board was held to- day. There were preSent Admiral Dewey. RBar' Admiral Ia yior. taptain Pflishury. Commander Barnett, Major General Cor bin. Brigadier General Randolph and Brigadier General Bliss.
 Major General Young, the other member of the board, was not in town. Admiral Dewey was elected president and Com mander Barnett, secretary. There was a general discussion of the subject of a view to determining whether they should be garrisoned by the army or by marines.
 Secretary Root already has taken steps to place troops at Guantanamo and Bahia Honda, and some of the naval officers are not well pleased at his action.
 Secretary Root, by invitation. briefly addressed the board, saying that he be- lieved good results would come from it's deliberations on questions affecting both branches of war forces. and that a joint board was better than routine official communications. He believed the ques- tins to be brought before the board and considered in time of peace would result in a better understanding and more effec- tice cooperation and defence of the coun- try in time of war.
 The board adjourned subject to the call of the chairman and probably will not reassemble until autumn.

NO REASON FOR ALARM.
Reports of Uprising Believed to Have
 Been Exaggerated.

Havana, July 30.-Up to 10 o'clock to- night the reported uprising in the prov ince of Santiago has not been confirmed either by the government or other reports
 General Lora commanding the Rural Guard of the Eastern District, has tele- graphed that he proceeded from Bayamo to Cauto del Paso and returned without seeing or hearing anything of the report ed uprising. Mayor Victoria wired from De Las Tunas this afternoon that diligent inquiries in the surrounding villages dis closed no signs of revolutionists. The Mayor says the existence of the bands Is now doubted.
 Senor Yero. Secretary of the Interior, and other government officers now are in- clined to believe that the Santiago au- thoities were misled by persistent rumors.
 Senor Rodriguez. commander in chief of the Rural Guard who Is still in Havana says he believes the stories originated through the confusion of reports of minor peaceful demonstrations with those con- cerning the four bandits who were re- gently killed. Mounted Rural Guards to the number of 300 and many volunteers are now engaged in a search for the rev. olutionists in the provinces of Santiago and Puerto Principe. There are ample arms and ammunition at Santiago and at Puerto Principe for the armfng of volun- teers in the event such a step should be deemed necessary.
 Late tonight Colonel Rels. a revolution ary veteran. in whom the government has great confidence, wired from Santiago province that the region was completely tranquilized. that the people were satIs- fled and that there was no reason for alarm. The government is satisfied that the incident is closed.

IMPLICATED WITH BEAVER
Seven Indictments Against
 Brooklyn Man.
Alleged That He Was Party to the Scheme by Which the United
 States Postoface Depart
 ment Was Defrauded.

New York. July 30.-Former Congress- man Driggs appeared today before Judge Thomas. in the United States Circuit Court. Brooklyn, and pleaded not guilty to two indictments which were found against him with leave to withdraw his plea and to demur
 One indictment was found by the federal grand jury in June and the other by the federal grand Jury in July. Mir. Driggs had previously pleaded to i've indictments which the June grand jury found against him and bail in the cases was fixed at 5000 which he furnished. That ball was continued today.
 The last indictment found against Driggs is the seventh and brings in the name of George w. Beavers. now under indictment for alleged bribe taking and wanted by the federal authorities. The indictment says that the Brandt-Dent Company, manufacturers and sellers of automatic cashiers, sold such machines for SIPS each. which was all the machines were reasonably worth.
 There are other allegations in the in- dictments that George F. Miller, at that time agent of the corporation 'contriving and intending to cheat and defraud the United States, by unlawfuily inducing and procuring George W. Beavers, an officer of the Postoffice Department to secure from the government a contract for the sale of cash machines. did thus effect the sale of large number of said machines at a cost of S150 each.''
