AFTER SODA JERKERs.
Uncle Sam Seriously objects to Spin.
ituous Connections.

Washington, July 1.-THE chemical
sharps of the internal revenue office
are working overtime just now max
ing analysis of drinks passed out from
soda fountains at the persuasive in
stance of a wink
There has always been more or less
violation of the liquor tax law" said
Deputy Commissioner Williams today.
druggists and proprietors of candy
and department stores who have gone
into the practice of selling alcoholic
drinks are the offenders. This year
the demand for such drinks seems to
be greater than ever. Certain it is
that inspectors are every day report
ing violations of the federal law.
1T is generally KNOWN" continued
Mr.. Williams, that it is against the
law for druggists or others to sell
drinks containing alcohol without
special license. 1t costs only $25, and
hundreds of druggists pay the tax
rather than abandon the profitable
sale of wine fiips fixes and other con-
coctions which depend for their pop
ularity upon a liberal ingredient Of
spirits. A tremendous trade in bot
tied drinks Is done in temperance COM
munities. The internal revenue agents
have been going after this class Of
business with sharp stick of late,
and have forced many druggists and
keepers of stores to stop the sale of
these beverages or take out a federal
license"
The only alcohol in beverages short
of the drug shop wine drinks which
the government will tolerate and is
sold without license is in quantity
small enough to preserve the syrup.
The law is strict on the drug store
booze proposition, and says that when
any distilled spirits, wine or other al
coholic compounds are added, the spe-
cial tax must be paid. A great many
druggists think that because they add
just little liquor to the regulation
soda water they are not liable, but
they are finding out differently. Spe-
cial agents have been warned to use
their sharp sticks against drinks with
other kinds of sticks in them, and are
constantly sending to the chemical sa-
wants at headquarters specimens OF
suspected soda water connections.

Bloody battle RAGING.
Santa Fe Railroad Laborers o:
Two Nationalities at War In
California Desert.
FOUR ARE DEAD AND FIFTY WOUNDED.
Both Sides Intrenched and Clashes
Frequent-AIl Efforts, Thus Far,
to Patch Up a Truce Have Been
UnavaiIing-State Troops May Be
Called Out.

New York, July IA bloody bat
tie between $50 Japanese and the
same number of MeXicans has been
tween Barstow and Victorville, ac-
cording to a Tribune dispatch from
Los Angeles, Cal. Four are reported
dead and about fifty wounded, and
the end of the struggle is not in
sight. The combatants are all en-
ployed by the Santa Fe railroad, lay
ing new rails, and the company has
been forced to suspend operations in
that section.
The Japanese and the MeXicans had
been working peaceably side by side
for some time, but on Monday Jap
anese made an insulting remark about
a Mexican and the fight began.
When the two workmen came to
blows sides were quickly formed and
battle lines were drawn. Tools used
in railroad building and boulders
from the bottoms of the Mojave river
were the weapons, and in few min
utes many heads were cracked. The
Japanese were finally driven across
the river, amid showers of stones, al
most as effective as bullets, the lead
er remaining in front to the last
Both sides intrenched behind piles OF
sand, and many sallies have been made
since. The attacking force has in
variably been repulsed. Two men
were killed Friday when the japanese
earthworks were stormed by the Mex
leans. The foreman is making every
effort to patch up a truce, but the
men seemed determined to fight while
any are left, and it may be necessary
to call out the state troops to queD
the fighters.
Mexicans all over the section are
developing a fierce hatred of the Jap
anese because the latter are sup
planting the MeXicans in many kinds
of work, demanding less wages, as
rule, but giving better satisfaction.

TO AVERT A RACE WAR.
Better Element of indianapolis Me-
qros Will Weed Out the
"Iipn Crors.v

Indianapolis, Ind, July 12.-Negro
leaders in Indianapolis are taking
steps to avert race war. The Evans
vile riots and conflicts between the
races in other cities have made them
apprehensive of a similar outbreak
here. An organization known as the
Negro Business League" has just
been formed to rid the city of what
the better element of the race calls
the Jim Crow" negro. The prime
movers of this league are ]. H. Lott,
DR.. B. ]. Morgan and A. E. Manning.
Gurley Brewer, editor of the World,
the negro organ, who is supporting
the movement, said today:
ut is very easy to determine who
the shiftless, worthless negroes are,
for they are found almost altogether
in the Indiana avenue district. Agents
of the Negro Business League will
make inquiry concerning them, and
those who will not work will be re-
ported to the authorities with a re-
quest that they be driven out of town.
This scheme of Kidding the city Of
worthless negroes is both practicable
and sensible"

THEY WILL GET HIM.
Franklin, La, Wildly Excited Over an
Attempted Assault.

Franklin, La, July 12.-This town
is in a state of wild excitement to-
night over the attack this morning
upon Mrs Rene Herbert by a negro
named Boas. The negro was captured
today, and is now in Jail here. The
Identification is complete, and threats
of lynching are freely expressed.
The negro was armed with a stout
rope and piece of heavy iron pipe in
making his attempted assault.
Mrs Herbert is daughter Of A. A.
Delahoussaye, of Franklin, and a niece
of Capt. Delahoussaye, of New Or
leans. She is now in a serious condi-
ton from the shock Of the attack.
Sheriff Sanders executed fine piece
of detective work in capturing Boas.
He was making for the swamps and
was intercepted by p narrow margin.
Excitement grows hourly here, and
it is feared that officers will not be
able to retain their prisoners.
A mob of two hundred men gath
cred at the Jail bent on lyncning the
negro. United States Senator Foster
and Judge Smith addressed the crowd
and pleaded to allow the law to take
its course. At 10 o'clock the mob is

San Francisco, July 11.-Signor Ed
monde Mayor Des Planches, the Ital-
ian ambassador to the United States,
has arrived here, accompanied by Ma
dame Des Planches and suite. This il
the first time that the Pacific coast
had been visited by any person of
such distinction in the Italian diplo-
matte corps, and the countrymen OF
the ambassador residing here are de-
lighted to welcome him. Signor Des
Planches is the youngest member of
the diplomatic corps, being but so
years of age. He succeeded Baron
Fava a little over year ago.

THE PAPAL SUCCESSION.
The More Prominent Possibilities I'm
the Sacred College for the
PapaI Succession.

Rome, July 11.-All the world is 90
cupying itself with discussion of the
probable successor of Leo XIII. In ex-
pectation of an early conclave, no
cardinal has left the city during the
past week and more are on their way
here. There are now at least 81 car
dinals in Rome, including all of the
Italians. OF course, Leo's successor
viii be an Italian. A pope of other ma
tionality would be bound to create
recrudescence of the question of
temporal power, which would be de-
plorable.
Of the payable italian cardinals,
these names are chiefly discussed:
Gotti, Svampa, Vannutelli, Oreglia
and Rampolla. It is improbable that
the college will elect Oreglia, the
aged camerlengo. There is a pontifi-
cal tradition that the camerlengo is
rarely elevated to the papacy. This
tradition, however, was broken when
Leo was elected. Serafno VannutelU
is highly commended because of his
diplomatic experience and prudence.
In the latter he resembles Leo.
The chief contest is expected to be
between Gotti, Rampolla and Vannu'
tell, although Cardinals Sarto, Dipie-
tro and Svampa are frequently men,
toned. Rampolla, the papal secretary
of state, is an able prelate, but his
policy has made many adversaries; be-
sides, never has a state secretary
achieved the papacy. 1t is said, Also
that he has determined to retire to q
monas terry when Leo dies.
Gotti is an able, intellectual execu-
tive. He is the head of the Carmellte
order as a monk, not as secular
priest. His election would add luster
to the church, and his management OF
the Carmelites indicates the probable
policy he would adopt if he were
elected pope. In all questions Gotti
would seek for the triumph of JUS
tice. He is not offensive in his pa
triotism, and his acts have concen-
trated upon him the attention of his
colleagues. External influences would
not be a factor in his election.
Svampa is very i'll, being threatened
with paralysis. Already he has had
an apoplectic seizure.
The chief opposition of the college
of cardinals is against RampolIa'
There is belief that he has been in
power long enough. A large number
of cardinals like neither his despotlsm
nor his politics.

THE KISHINEFF PETITION.

New York, July 1.-The American
Kishineff petition is causing grave
