ORDER DIsREGARDED.

Denver, April 11.-When Governor
Peabody was informed OF the action of
Judge Theron Stevens at Ouray i'm or
dering the arrest of Adjutant General
Bell and Captain Bulkeley Wells for
contempt of court in disobeying the
courts injunction, he said: I'VE will
not recognize the writ of attachment
and the military authorities will not ap-
pear in court. Neither will We give up
Meyer. We will claim that the courts
haveNno right to enjoin or arrest Off
GERS or members of the military while
they are on duty. They are not subject
to attachment or injunction at this
time. If the district court at Ouray is
to be allowed TO interfere in the car
rying out of my plans for the military
under martial law, there is no reason
why justices Of the peace might not
with equal authority intervene and
render the military absolutely power
less and impotent. The court has made
known its wishes in the matter and W.
have stated our position. II is now up
to the court to make the next move in
the matter. What it will be I am un-
able to say"
Not having heard from Attorney
/. General Miller, who is representing the
military in the habeas corpus proceed
ings at Ouray, the governor could not
say what course he would pursue since
Judge Stevens refused TO allow his an
swer to the writ to be filed with the

Hampstead, Texas, April 11..-War-

Tucker Pinckeney, brother of congress
man John NJ. Pinckeney at church,
eight miles from here. 1t is expected
there will be a number of other ar
rests. There is much excitement over
the entire couDty.
Pinckeney and George Grolce rode up
to church late in the afternoon. There
had been trouble between Groce and
some of the negroes, who were at the
church at the time and as Pinckeney
entered the church to get a drink of
water shooting was opened by the
negroes in the church. Seven shots
were fired in the building and all of
them took effect in the body of Pinck-
eney, who fell dead just outside the
door. Groce shot two. of the negroes
who were outside but neither of them
is fatally wounded.
The remainder of the blacks scatter
ed and they are keeping close to their
homes.
Congressman Pinckeney and his sis
ter are to arrive here or Wednesday
and the funeral of the dead man will
be held at that time. If there is to
be any further trouble, it is not likely
to happen until after the funeral.

A TEXAS RACE WAR
The Outgrowth Of the Murder Of a
Brother Of a Congressman.

Houston, Texas, April 11.-News from
Walter county, sixty miles north of
here, indicates that race feeling is
very high, owing to the murder near
Hampstead of Tucker Pinckeney, a
brother of Congressman ]. NJ. Pinck-
eney, of the Houston district. 1t ap-
pears that Pinckeney and a companion
were riding by a negro church when
they were fired upon. While the dead
mans body lay in front of the church
n negro with a shotgun rode by and in
formed the crowd that he did the
shooting, after which he disappeared.
This negro had a finger shot off, which
indicates that Pinckeney and his COM
panion, whose name is not known, re-
turned the fire.
George Goss, who was with Pinck-
eney, says he thinks the negroes mis-
took the dead man for him. Over 100
armed whites are in the field after the
negroes. Congressman y Pinckeney
wired that he would leave Washington
today and will arrive at home on We'd
nesday. The dead man was one of the
leading planters and stockmen in this
section.

THE YALU STRUGGLE.
An Opinion That 1t May Never Take
Place.

London, April IA correspondent
Of the Times with the japanese head
quarters, sends the following, dated
April II, by wireless telegraphy via
Wei Hal Wei: "At present information
from the land fr3nt must be belated,
owing to the distance existing of the
seabase from the advance guard, but
this will soon be remedied.
1T is doubtful whether the long ex-
pected engagement for the possession
Of the Yalu river will eve" take place,
certainly not unless the Russians are
being reinforced more heavily than my
Information leads me to believe. This
was foreseen by the Japanese and hence
their strenuous efforts to block Port
Arthur so that they may be able to re-
duce the length of their land commune
cations by the establishment of a more
convenient sea base. 1t must be re-
membered that unless the japanese Sc
new base by July land movements from
Korea will become practically impossi-
BILE.
The rainfall of summer is so heavy
that all the himsy bamboo bridges will
be destroyed. This would indicate that
it is not to the advantage of either
belligerent to engage in a struggle in
the vicinity of the Yalu.
THE Russians desire to get the
japanese forces inland with the hope of
enveloping them, while the Japanese
want to get inland because the country
affords a more suitable theater of oper-
ations"

A MYSTERY CLEARED UP
The Murder Of a Watchman at the
University Of Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia. Pa, April 1.-THE mys-
terry surrounding the murder of John
Thomas, the aged night watqhman at
the Houston club of the University of
Pennsylvania last evening, was cleared
up today by the arrest and confession
of Lawrence Gibson, alias John Oakley,
who was for a number of years en-
ployed as utility man at Houston hall.
Gibson is a West Indian negro and
says he is a native of Jamaica. He was
arrested at his home early in the day
and denied all knowledge of the crime
until late in the afternoon when he
broke down and confessed to the muir
der. Self defense is his plea. Gibson
says he went TO Houston hall to call on
Thomas. The watchman, Gibson says,
evidently mistook him for a thief and
attacked him. In the struggle he unin-
tentionally killed the old man. The
police do not believe the story.
Superintendent OF Police Quirk is of
the opinion that revenge for being dis
missed from Houston hall was the mo-
tive for the murder, although he has
not entirely discarded the theory OF
robbery. Gibson, whose complexion is
so light that he easily passed for a
white man, mirrepresented himself as
a student at the university and married
a young white woman three weeks ago
When the deception was discovered he
was discharged from Houston hall
How he expected to get revenge and his
reason for attacking the watchman, the
police decline to saw

peaceful conditions prevailing in the
district ever since the exodus of the

GATHERING OF RUSSIANS
1t Is Timed To Be Completed When
Baltic Fleet Shall Arrive in Asiatic
Waters-Neither Combatant Desires
the Yalu for Fighting Ground.

st. Petersburg, April 11.--Exception-
ally reliable information regarding
Russian military plans says that for
the future they are of greater magni-
tude than is generally believed abroad
and take into account all possible con-
tingencies.
General Kuropatkin. remembering
the experience of Russia during her
war with Turkey, when a Russian
army of 10000 placed in the field at
the beginning had to be more than
doubled, has insisted that men and
guns be placed at his disposal suffi
cient to cover the extreme limit requir-
ed to settle the fate of the campaign.
Russian plans are predicted upon Ma
poleon's dictum that "God fights on the
side with the heaviest battalions," Z"
and they are being worked cut and
timed so as to apply to a superiority
of numbers on land and sea stimuli
taneously. The army is designed to
attain the enormous total of a half
million at the time scheduled for the
reinforcement of Vice Admiral Maka-
roff's fleet with the Baltic squadron.
The Seventeenth and Tenth army corps
now drafting are expected t. reach
Manchuria by the middle of June. The
mobilization of four other corps at
least two of which viii be fiom the
Volga, will be announced by the mid
die of next month and will start east
ward a month later reaching their des-
tination the end of August
Rear Admiral RojestrensiZy will hoist
his flag as commander of the formidable
Baltic squadron early in July and will
sail Immediately for Port arthur.
