NEW YORK, Sept. 1O.TThat the
race question as disturbing fafctor
of social conditions Is not confined to
| the South, was shown the other day
by an occurrence, which plainly in
dicates the feeling existing on the SUBJ
ject among the masses. 1t happened
on the board of one of the Joy Line
steamers, running betwewen Provi-
dence and New York. Among the pas
| sengers on that boat was a well dressed
negro. who struck up an acquaintance
with white woman on the boat. They
| seemed to get along together famously
when the trouble came. When meal
I time came the white woman and the
colored man went together to the din
tables. The captain, who objected to
the presence Of the negro at the table
where the white passengers were
served. gave n hint to the steward and
the latter informed the negro that he
would not be served at that table.
The negro insisted and. 1t Ia said used
language more forcible than elegant.
The negro left, but soon returned with
a young white man. whom he had In
duced to accompany his as a witness.
as he intended to sue the Joy steamship
company. Another stormy scene fol-
lowed. the witness was scared out Of
the room and the negro elected by main
force. On deck It came to clash be-
tween the negro and the captain and
1t is said that in the scrimmage the
negro bit the captain In the cheek. Just
before the steamer arrived at the dock
in New York the negro once more be-
came aggressive and only by the nimb-
leness of his legs he saved himself from
a severe beating.
The appearance Of sign, bearing the
