DERBY CANDIDATES ARE
GIVEN FINAL WORKOUT

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 27.-Indications
tonight are that the Montgomery handi-
cap, the all-aged event which will be de-
cided at the local track tomorrow, will be
run over fast track The weather is fair
and cool, with no prospect of rain. Many
of the handicap candidates were out for
light work to-day, and a large number of
people thronged the course TO witness their
work. Little Scout, one of the favorites for
the race, was given light gallop. Dominick
will have the mount, and the Bennett colt
will have strong following. Witful. with
Fuller in the saddle, probably will be the
post favorite. The Hildreth FLY has been
in fine fettle, and is expected to give a
good account of herself.

THIRTEEN NEGROES SHOT
TO DEATH IN ARKANSAS
SINCE A WEEK AGO TO-DAY
Griffin Brothers the Last to Fall
Victims to White Mems
Bullets.
ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE
Negroes in the Majority, but Only
Two Were Seen on the Streets
Saturday.
ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March IA spe-
cial to the Gazette from De Witt, Ark,
says:
1.-Two more negroes have been killed in
the clash between whites and blacks at
St Charles, fifteen miles from here, in Ar
kansas county. This brings the total of
dead negroes up tc thirteen, all OF them
being killed within the past week.
The last two negroes killed were the
Griffin brothers, Henry and Walker, who
were the cause of the trouble. The negroes
were reported to have escapd, but 1t is
known that they are dead. and it is be-
lieved they were killed yesterday.
Owing to the remoteness of st. Charles
and to the fact that the news of the re-
suit of the riot is not given out freely, ii
is difficult to obtain details, but there is nc
doubt of the authenticity of the report with
reference to the death of the Griffins
In the ST. Charles neighborhood the me-
groes largely outnumber the whites and
trouble has been brewing for long time
and it is said the negroes for the past two
years have been getting insolent and bellig-
erent 1t is now believed the leaders OF
the unruly element have been killed and
that further trouble will be averted.
Yesterday was election day. and usually
on such a day ST. Charles is crowded with
negroes, but during the entire day only
two negroes were seen in the town, and
these two appeared in the morning and
stayed in the village but a short time
Near ST. Charles the negroes are quiet and
are attending strictly TO their work.
The trouble originated last Monday wher
the two GrifiinS met two white men
brothers named Searcy. The Searcys who
are fishermen, and the Griffins had an al
tercation a few days before, and when they
met the trouble was renewed. One of the
negroes armed himself with the leg of q
chair and with his brother assaulted the
white men, beating them so severely that
one is now on the verge of death and the
other is in critical condition. In an eff
fort TO arrest the Griffins eleven negroes
have been killed.
The death of the two Griffins makes the
death list number thirteen.

dents Trip Is One of
Courtesy.
PROTEST AGAINST SPEECH

ROME, March 27.-Newspapers here pub
lish an interview with NJ. Combes the
French premier. in which he says that the
forthcoming visit of President Loubet is
not only a courtesy from the President of

Italy" the relations of which countries
are now as close as possible. NJ Combes
added that President Loubet never dreamed
of visiting the Pope.
Concerning the speech delivered by the
Pontif in receiving the members of the
Sacred College on his name day, March is,
in which he criticised the French govern
ment for its treatment of the clergy and
the religious orders and against which
speech the French ambassador at the Vat
lean has entered a protest, the premier
said: 1T is the Pope's business. and he
can do what he thinks best The Vatican
has not observed the concordat and il
would be more frank and more loyal to de-
nounce it ended. l energetically pro-
tested against the speech OF Pope Plus.

likewise against the intervention of the
Pope in questions which were not spiritual
and which were not contemplated by the
concordat."

AMERICAN MINERS IN
DIFFICULT POSITION

SEOUL. March 27.-The miners in north
Korea find themselves in a most difficult
position. Their ability to continue work
notwithstanding the outbreak of hostiities
is dependent on their strictly minding their
own business and exercising great caution
to avoid offending either of the combatants.
They have practically ceased sending out
any private correspondence in fear that
some chance expressions therein might be
construed into evidence of a partiality.
United States Minister Allen Is exertng
pressure to secure the release of their
specie train as the delay is causing en-
barrassment. The Korean laborers will
not accept bullion in payment for their
services, while the rice merchants demand
specie.
A party of persons at Chemuplo. includ-
ing the bride of DR.. Stryker, the physician
of the mines hospital. is at Chemulpo de-
string to go TO Unsan, where the mines are
located but has been advised TO wait, as
Mr.. Allen cannot guarantee the safety of
the women.
Letters received from the American mis-
sionaries a Ping-Yang and other points in
the north indicate that they are allowed to
continue their work unmolested.

PORT ARTHUR, Feb. 9.-The first
sea fight of the war took place last night
and resulted in Japanese victory. Soon
after midnight several low explosions were
heard, as though mine had been sprung
at a considerable depth in the ground They
were not pronounced enough TO have wax
ened any one in the town, but were easily
heard by any one who had not yet retired.
After the first few explosions nothing more
was heard. and as there had been consd-
cradle blasting in connection with the
building of d dryGock III the vicinity, no
particular attention was paid to the re-
ports. In the morning. however the re-
suit was to be seen. At the entrance of
the h0rbor were the two Russian battle
ships. the Czarevitch and the Retvizan,
heeled away over and fast ashore. One
would have thought that this would have
created some excitement in this military
center. but l have seen more on the New
England coast over the wreck of a fishing
smack than was displayed by these stolid
Russians Possibly they did not realize the
full purport of the disaster that had over
taken them, but in any case they took it
quite indiffer emily. During the early morn
ing hours a small crowd collected the
hills and gazed at the crippled battleships.
One of them had been one of the fastest
battleships in the Russian navy. If not the
fastest, and in one shot she had been put
out of action.
During the entire morning a japanese
torpedo boat or destroyer lowered about in
plain sight. coming in at times SO near that
it seemed to invite attack. AT IL 80 O'Clock
the Russian shore batteries opened upon
the Japanese fleet, which had moved up
into position. and after the first shot was
fired. as a signal. the fire rippled along the
entire Russian line. The firing, whole,
was very heavy from the Russian batteries.
The attacking fleet returned the fire with
vigor, but their shells did no damage to the
forts on land. The Japanese shells fell in
the harbor and on the hill behind the town,
but none of them took effect although the
merchant shipping in the harbor was in
imminent danger. In few cases the
fragments from the exploding shells struck
the different ships and slightly wounded
some of the crew, but no real damage was
done.
The wharf was struck twice. one of the
shells exploding on contact, making a hole

I'LL THE WHITES THINK
JAPAN WILL BE VICTOR

PORTLAND, Ore, March 27.-The Port

here to-day from Japanese ports with a
full cargo of merchandise which included
exhibits for the ST. Louis fair. She also

Japanese passengers.
According to the officers of the Indrapura

press confidence that ultimately Japan will
defeat Russia. The patriotism of the pop
ulace is described as being intense. While
the people have little real news of the
progress of events at the front, they are
given to understand that the war is re-
sulting in a decided advantage to Japan
arms and with this they are satisfied TO
make every possible sacrifice.

dered to the government all their earthly
possessions to prosecute the war and in
some cases mobiles have even pawned their
jewels to raise money to contribute to the
war fund.
