TRIBUTE TO THE SOUTH.
Senator Hoar Of Massachusetts Pays Liberal Eulogy To People Of South-"They Are A Noble Race" Says Venerable
 Statesman.

In recent address by Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, this New Englander paid beautiful tribute to the people of the South in the eulogy below:
 "Although my life politically and personally has been life of almost constant strife with the leaders of the Southern people, yet as l grow older l have learned not only to respect and esteem but to love the great qualities which belong to my fellow citizens of the Southern States. They are noble race. We may we'll take pattern from them in some of the great virtues which make up the strength as they make the glories of the free States. Their love of home, their chivalrous respect of women, their courage, their delicate sense of honor, their constancy which can abide by an opinion or purpose or an interest for their States through ad- vers ty and through prosperity, through the years and through the gen. erations, are things by which the peo- pie of the more mercurial North may take lesson. And there is another thing-covetousness, corruption, the low temptation of honey has not yet found any place i'll our Southern po- litics.
 "Now, my friends, we cannot afford to live, we don't wish to live, and we do not live in a state of estrangment from a people who possess these quail ities. They gre friends of ours; born of our borning, flesh of our flesh, blood of our blood, and whatever o1ay be the temporary error of our South ern States, I, for one, if I have right to speak for Massachusetts, say to her: 'Entreat me not to leave thee nor to return from the following after thee; for where thou goest I will go, and where thou stayest I will stay. Thy people shall be my people and thy God my God."'

Frank Wooten, who left here very mysteriously last August and was al- legged to be several hundred dollars short with his firm, the Aver & Lord Tie Company, was arrested Saturday afternoon in Little Rock and brought back to Newport on No. 4 Sunday, where he now rests in jail.
 Under two indictments he is charged with embezzlement, but an effort will be made to secure bond for the pris- oner.
 Wooten denies his guilt and says that he can account for any apparent shortage in his accounts. He further says, that he did not run away, but secured job at braking on the Iron Mountain between Little Rock and Texarkana and merely left to take up this work.

STRUCK IN THE DARK.

John Galloway, negro working for J. A. Harlan was knocked on the head about four o'clock Thursday morning at the corner of Elm and Front Streets, while going to his work by some unknown assailant.
 The blow fell and dazed Galloway and the purpose of the act seems to have been robbery, for the assaulted man says he had 15 cents on his per son and was relieved of a dime of this. The negro was quite badly injured.

 Busy Within Her Confines.

EXPENSIVE CONSTRUCTION
WORK

Joplin, Mo-, March 21.--An army of 5000 men and 200 mules began work this week on the great tunnels on the White River extension of the Missouri Pacific railway, where it passes from Boone county, Arkansas, into Fancy county, Missouri. The tunnels ere 2,70o and 2,5Oo feet long, through the heart of an Ozark peak The building of the White River road from Lakes Ferry, Ark, to Aurora, Mo-, a dis tance of 100 miles, is said to be the most difficult piece of railroad con- struction ever attempted in the United States outside of the Rocky Mountain region. There will be tunnels of an aggregate length of $500 feet. The 5000 feet long. It will take 15,OO0, ,OOO feet of lumber to build the trestles. To complete this work alone will re- quire two years.
 MT. Engstrom, uperintendent of construction of this work. says that the general public has little conception of the evolution of the modern rail road camp, whereas, in former years the exposure and hardships of the camp after day of unmitigated toll placed the very life of the laborer in jeopardy, now every convenience and precaution for his comfort and welfare is provided. The camps are veritable towns, comprising store room, warehouse, dining room, drug store and hospital, fifteen commodious quarters for engineers and foremen and houses for 1000 laborers.

Little Rock, March 22-Flave Car penter of Philadelphia did not put in an appearance before the ways and means committee yesterday after noon, and the committee voted to ask the house of representatives for an attachment for him on Monday. What Col, Murphy's side expects to prove by Carpenter was shown by a statement made by Dr. E. K. Will jams.
 T. J. Jackson of the Rhodes, Haver- ty & Jackson Furniture Company tes- tified that his firm had sent a chair to Gov. Davis as a Christmas present
 The committee will meet again on Wednesday afternoon.
 FLAVE CARPENTER NOT PRESENT.
 When the committee met Col. Mur- phy stated that he was unable to get the witness, Fia7-a Carpenter, from Philadelphia, who, ha was informed, was disposed to evade the orders of the committee. He was informed that Carpenter had gone to the train last night, but nevertheless did not come to Little Rock. He now asked the committee to allow him an at tachment for Carpenter, and announc ed that he desired to have Dr. E. K. Williams, who was present, make statement showing what they expect ed to prove by Carpenter, and thus give the committee the justification for having the attachment issued.
 Dr. Williams was called and came forward
 The chairman notified the stenog rapher and the reporters that this statement was not testimony, but was simply allowed so the committee might determine whether or not to ask the house of repress natives for an attachment for Carpenter.
 ALLEGED MESSAGE TO CARPENTER.
 In answer to questions from Col. Murphy, Dr. Williams then stated that the next day after the promises last said: "Doc, what do you reckon, Jeff Davis phoned me yesterday and asked about the election, and l told him the county went 25O for Jones, and he said he must have it for Clarke. I told him that was impossible, as the vote had been counted, and he then said (using some rough language) that we must have it for Clarke any way, stating that he was governor and if got into trouble he would see to that" Alter this matter came up a few days ago he (Williams) had seen Carpenter, and had told him that he had good notion to kill him for telling about this con versation, as it caused him to be summoned before this committee, where he would have to tell it. He told Carpenter that he himself was the cause of it being known, for he had heard dozen men say they had heard Carpenter say this, whereas he (Williams), had told no one. Car penter then said: "By Cd, l don't want to go, but if they get me there l will have to tell the truth, but l am not going if l can help it."
 Mir. Weaver made motion, which was seconded by MT. Fletcher, that 
 sentatives, immediately upon their convening Monday, for an attachment for Carpenter. The motion prevailed, all members voting for it except Mir. Whitley and Mir. Crutcher, who asked to be excused, and Mir. Futrell, who was absent.

Says Indiana Should Pass Law for Dismissal of Sheriff WhC
Permits Lynchng in His County, and Permitting Suits for
Damages to be Paid by the County Tax Payers
From the New York Herald

for instance, they may not actually par
ticipate in or connive at the lynchings
which are occurring in different sections
of the country from time to time. but 1t
appears to me that they are infatuated
with the excitement of such occasions
and are willing to temporize in the hold
ing of their prisoners until the time is
ripe for an outbreak upon the part Of
citizens when the latter storm the iails
and drag out their victims and string
them up to the nearest tree. The sherff's
job and his entire future would depend
upon his execution of the law and / am
convinced that he would attend to it.
"On the othef hand l think the dam
age feature of the law would tend to
force citizens to take sober minded
view of the case before outraging the
county's prisoners. Take the men who
go to the tax payers office once a year
and put up their money for the owner
ship of their property. They give that
subject full consideration at the time.
No one likes to pay taxes and when the
money is paid every one desires that It be
disbursed in an economical and judicious
manner. Then before rushing wildly and
fiendshly TO the county Jail upon a
lynching expedition would not such men
as matter Of course hesitate in their
onslaught and thinx?'

QUESTION NOT YET
ENTIRELY SETTLED
RUSSIAN FOREIGN OFFICE STATES
THAT NO FORMAL STATEMENT
OF MANcHURlAN AFFAIR is
PREPARED.

st. Petersburg, July 1s.-The foreign Of
flee states that the Manchurian question
has not reached a stage justifying a
formal statement at this time 1t points
out that the ports to be opened have not
been selected nor the details arranged.
Nothing has yet appeared in any Russian
paper on either of these questions.
At first glance the above dispatch np-
pears to contradict the official announce
ment made In Washington Thursday OF
the receipt OF the Chinese promise to
open several ports in Manchuria to the
worlds trade and Russia's formal assur-
ance of her assent. This, however, is not
the case. The Washington dispatch did
not say that the negotiations had been
concluded or that the ports had been
specified. ut is gathered" said the dis
patch from the communications received
at Washington, ''that they (he ports to
be opened) are Moukden and Ia Tung
Kao."
