DUEL BETWEEN WHITES AND BLACKS
Two Negroes Dead and Two White
Men Wounded.

WillstoD, Fla, December 29.-Two ne
groes are dead and two white men wound
ed as a result of a clash at arms near the
Newberry Phosphate mines. There mas
been bad feeling between the whites and
desperate negroes employed at the mines
for some time. Ulmer Flowers, Roy
Landran, 0. Landran and NJ. Colley,
whites, drove to Newberry in two buggies
on business. Knowing the desperate
character Of the negroes of hat vicinity
they went fully armed. When they start
ed home gang of negroes, armed with
Winchester rifles, met them in the road
and opened fire. The whites returned the
shots and the battle was continued for
some time. When the smoke cleared
away it was found that two of the negroes
were dead, while Flowers was found shot
through the thigh and channel was left
in n. Landran's brow, where Winches'
ter bullet had plowed its way. The live
negroes had fled, but the whites followed
and succeeded in capturing one, who they
delivered to the sheriff.

PART OF "GO0D FRIEND"
Attitude of the United States In the In
ternationaI lmbroglIo.

Washington, Dec. 27,-There IS now in
progress an active exchange of notes be-
tween the allied powers, Venezuela and
the United States respecting the method
of submitting to arbitration the Issues
which have arisen between Venezuela and
the allies.
Questions are being put, and answers
are forthcoming, but it is said that the
negotiations are in such shape that it
would be extremely injudicious and in
discreet to make each phase public if there
really existed desire to reach a satisiac.
tory settlement.
1t is explained at the State Department
that the part of the United States govern
ment just now is that of "Good friend" to
all parties; that it is not undertaking to
draw up protocols or impose limitations
upon the pa, ties, but in confning its good
offices to getting them together and keep
ing them SO.
In this view, it will not be necessary for
our government to prescribe how the
Monroe doctrine shall or shall not figure
in the protocols, it will judge for itself by
results how our, interests are affected and
will not indulge in premature or uncalled
tor protests.
AS for the terms ofthe arbitration agree.
ment it Is stated that they are in a fair
way to be speedily aGusted, but nothing
can be said of the details. 1t is presumed
that the allies will agree to terminate the
blockade, though no stipulation has yet
been entered into on that point. Nothing
has been heard recently of the part to De
taken by United States Minister Bowen in
the final settlement, and it begins to APP
pear that, after all Venezuela will proba
bly, be represented by one Of her own peo.
pie.

BURGLARS MADE WAR.
lntimidated WOuId-be CaptOrS Until Es-
cape Was Secured.

St. Louis, Dec. 27. The bank at Union,
Mo-, was robbed of $4,000 in a sensa-
tonal manner by burglars between ! and
? O'Clock to-day, according to a special to
the Post-Dispatch.
Residents in the vicinity Of the bank
were aroused by the sound ofan explosion,
and some of them rushed into the street.
The burglars then, leaving the bank,
opened fire at random and were successful
in lntimldatiDg the would-be captOrs until
they had made their escape in safety.
Oscar Busch, hardware man, who put
his head out Of window only to be con-
fronted with the muzzle of pistol, states
that only two men left the bank. Other
accounts place the number of burglars at
seven.
After the departure of the robbers an
examination of the vaults was made. 1t
was discovered that all the money was
gone. The building was completely wreck
ed.
No clue to the robbers, who are believed
to be professionals, has been discovered.

BEAR zoo AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
President Receives Gifts Intended as
Iokes, but They "Do not Phase Him.

Washington, Dec. 27.-President Roos-
evelt's Christmas presents included the
most motley and undoubtedly the most
extensive collection of bears of every size
and condition to be found within the con-
fines of the Union.
These bears came from all over the
country, and range from the smallest
dancing bear in wood or ivory carving to
the most intricate mechanical toy yet de-
vised in this particular sphere of the ami
NAL representation. There are brown
bears, and black bears enough to start
mimic ZOO. This collection was displayed
on table set apart for that purpose in
the library on Christmas morning, and
that the President fully appreciated the
wit of the situation was shown by his ac'
ton in inviting those Of his personal
ffiends who called at the White House to
to 90 to the library and view his bear zoo.

Deplorable Fratricide.

On last Friday afternoon very deplora.
BILE homicide occurred at Midway, in the
southwestern part of Tazewell county.
The unfortunate affair happened in the
store of d. Green & Co., and two brothers,
Floyd Ascue aid Andrew Ascue, sons of
Abram Ascue, were the psrtite to the
transaction.
1t seems that there had been III feeling
between the brothers for some time,
growing out of a controversy between An.
drew and his father, Abram Ascue, over
land transaction. Andrew vas in the
store Of Green & Co., and Floyd walked
in. He remarked to Andrew that he was
going to shoot him. Andrew told him to
shoot, and, thereupon, Floyd dre% lis pis.
tol and shot his brother, in1icting fatal
wound. The shooting occurred sbout three
o'clock and Andrew died at about six
o'clock.
There was only one person present TO
witness the deed, and only meager reports
can be obtained. Both OF the men were
married and had families. Floyd was
thirty five years old and Andrew thirty
three. Floyd was drinking heavily when
he committed the act. He fed the next
morning and his whereabouts are now not
known.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The Richmond Times and other con-
temporaries are very iubilant over the
prosperous business conditions that pre-
vailed in every section of Virginia during
1902. It is strange that our intelligent
contemporaries will continue to advocate
changes in our governmental policies that
may, if adopted, cause serious changes IN
business conditions. The Times still urges
a return to the old Democratic tariff
policy.
The Portland ''Oregonian" in account
ing for why the West is Republican says;
''The spirit of the West is young and pro-
gressive. 1t naturally sympathzes with
the policy of expansion sustained by the
Republican party in the Philippines, but
also with the strenuous temperament
of President Roosevelt. The west h'
therefore solid for the Republican party
for two reasons-it likes its principles ana
if loves its man." These are very sound
reasons for the West being solidly Kepuo-
lican-much sounder than the reasons tna'
make the South solid for the Democracy

DANViLLE CONTRACT BROKEN
Wife and Daughter Agreed NOT to use
Snuff if Husband and Father
Wouldn't Drink.

Danville, Va, December 27.-James l..
Hundley was arraigned IN the Police court
this morning on charge Of being drunk
and assaulting bis wife and daughter. The
circumstances surrounding the case were
very peculiar and unique. 1t seems that
Hundley- has been addicted to the use of
liquor. His wife and daughter agreed if
he would stop the use of liquor They would
discontinue using snuff, Of which, it is said,
they used quite a good deal. This ar
rangement was satisfactory, according to
Hundley, and lie kept his part Of the con-
tract vigorously.
Later, however, he discovered that the
women were using snuff unknown to him.
Finding their snuff box, and thinking to
teach them a lesson, he emptied the con-
tents of red pepper box in the snuff box.
Words inadequately describe the sensation
and commotion when the snuff was used
When the family had settled down some
what, the women set out on tour OF In
vestigation, which resulted in their un'
earthing bottle of whiskey, into which
they proceeded to empty the contents OF
the snuff box, pepper and all. Hundley
took large drink Of the decoctiou, and
thought the provocation sufficient to justl-
fly him in chastislng the women. He was
fined, however.

A BOLD DIAMOND ROBBERY.
Perpetrated in New York In Full View
of Passing Crowds.

New York, December 29.-In full view
of passing crowds, a window in the shop
OF X. Simpson & Company, on West For
ty-second street, was smashed with Bel
gian paving block tonight and $4,000
worth of diamonds were stolen. Only
three Of the gems were recovered after the
capture of the robber. 1t is believed by
the police that several men were IN the
lob, aud that the man who broke the
window passed the jewels to confederates.
After an exciting chase, which was enter
ed into by hundreds of men, the rObber,
who drew a pistol and fought desperately
for his liberty, was captured. He was
more dead than alive when the police
rescued him from the crowd of pufsuers.
He is 10 years old, and calls himself Will
liam Madison, of Boston.
1t was one of the most daring robberies
heard of IN New York for long time.
The shop was about to close when paw
ing block covered with paper, crashed
through the window and in an instant a
tray of diamond rings and pins disappear
ed. One of the clerks jumped over the
counter and pursued the man who broke
the window. A great crowd followed,an
when the man was overtaken he was bur-
led under score of men and so badly
battered that a physicians services were
required. Madison said that he came here
week ago and was prompted to commit
the deed by cold and hunger. 1t is said
at the store that at the time the window
was broken there was on show about Sl2,
900 worth of jewels.

COAL OPERATORS WANT COAL MOVED
A Number Have Gone to Roanoke to Con-
fer With Norfolk and Western OFF,
ciaIs.

Roanoke, Va, Dec. pa number OF
coal operations from various points along
the Norfolk and Western Railroad are
here to have a conference with General
Manager L L. Johnson, of the Norfolk
and Western, to see if some arrangement
cannot be made for moving coal more
satisfactorily. The operators have con-
tracted to deliver coal, and cannot get it
shipped. The road claims that it has not
sufficient cars to handle the coal, and
there has been a great kick in the coal
fields and threatened litigation. The
general manager expects to convince them
that the shortage of cars is the reason that
the coal cannot be handled.

London, Dec. ga Willemstad dis
patch received today reports a lively en-
gagement Saturday between 1900 rev.
oIutionists under Rlera and Venezuelan
government forces near COro. Reira re-
tanned the position. Referno and Castillo
commanded the government troops. A
Caracas dispatch says the Venezuelan
government will ask that the blockade be
raised Immediately.
Washington, Dec. GA dispatch re-
ceived here today contains 4 report to the
effect that the British have seized
Laguayra, landing marines there in defiance
of the protest of American officials. 1t is
expected that instructions will be sent to
the commander of the gunboat Marietta
today. 1t is difficult to obtain con6rma-
ton.
Caracas, Dec. 29.-There is no truth in
the report circulated in the United States
today that British marines have landed at
Laguayra. The British commander,
Montgomery, said this afternoon that no
such action will be taken.
New York, Dec ga report was re-
ceived here early today which says that
the British and Germans have landed
marines at Laguayra, despite the protest
of the commander of the United States
gunboat Marietta, who is said to have in
sisted that while arrangements for arbltra
ton were nearly completed such action
was unjustifable. 1t is said he has cabled
to Washington for instructions as to bis
course of action.
Laguayra Dec 29.-The Dutch steamer
Prinz Wilhelm V, from Amsterdam, ar
rived this morning and after undergoing
the usual preliminaries was allowed to
enter and discharge her cargo. The
British cruiser Tribune has captured a
