FRIAR PROBLEM SOLVED.
satisfactory Conclusion of Negotia-
tons for session of Do.
minican Lands.

The most troublesome issue brought
Up by American annexation of the
Philippines was Hat which was caused
by the transfer If the Dominican
friars' lands. There had been, in the
Spanish days, an old feud between the
fIiars and a large element Of the ma
tives of the Philippines. Madrid
showed off this problem on Washing
ton in the treaty of Paris OF 1898.
says the St. Louis. Star-Democrat.
Some of the Philippine instructions
which Madrid had to deal with were
caused by the wrangles between the
natives and this religious order.
Whether right was on the side of the
Filipinos or the friars, is a question
ON which Americans will not express
any opinion offhand. Anyhow, we had
to handle this issue when the Phil
ippines came into our hands, and we
have handled it by buying the friars'
lands.
At last the transfer of the lands of
those orders to the government of the
Philippines is about to be consum-
mated. The last hitch in the deal has
apparently been removed. There was
adherence of 5000, 900 between the Phil
ippine government and the friars, and
the agents of the latter have offered to
settle for $4,000. Secretary Taft has
accepted the compromise, and all is
again quiet on the Rio Grande of Lu-
o n The money will be promptly
paid. and everybody will be satisfied
In the aggregate a little over 100000
coo will be handed over to the agents
of the Dominicans, and the title will
pass to the Philippine government, and
the friars' incident will be closed.
This is a happy solution of the
problem. PROFESSIONALLY the friars,
Dominicans and others, did a good
work in the Philippines. The bulk of
the task of Outstanding all the
1000, 900 Malays of the archipelago who
have been Christianized was done by
those orders. This was done under
Spanish sovereignty. Most of the friars
who did the work we're Spaniards. To
them the Americans and the world
in general owe a debt of gratitude.
But the friars and the natives have
been at war for the past score of
years. Between them there was an
irrepressible conflict which Madrid
could not adjust, but which Washing
ton has at last settled. Both the
friars and the natives have u to
rejoice over the good fortune which
placed the Philippines under Amer
lean sway.

OCCURS AT THE LEVEE CAMP NORTH OF CITY MONDAY
 AFTERNOON.
Joe iiigkbaIl, a Negro, Kills Anothe Negro, and He Is Arrested st
 McGehee.

Report of another killing at the leVee camp north of this city reached town Monday. In an altcrcat on with another negro last Sunday night, Joe Flshba!l, cclorad, shot and killed his antagonist almost instantly. and the murderer then made good his escape.
 MoadaN morning, the officers here We're notified of the killing, and later in the day the murderer was seen eere; but before he could be rounded up made his exit from the city. That night Constable Frank Stewart locat. cd the man in McGehee. and ha was arrested and will be brought back to Pine Bluff at once.
 In conversation with the officers af ter his arrest, the negro confessed that he was wanted in Little Rock for some crime.
 The name of the murdered man i.; unknown, and none of the particulars oI the murder are known, HiohbalI denying all knowledge of it.
 This is but one of long series of crimes that have occurred al the leyee camp a few miles nor1h of this city So common have murders become among the negroes there that very If. tie attention is any longer paid to them. The officers appear to be all most powerless ito do anything in the matter. for when one negro kills an. other, and an officer goes into the camp to investigate the affair. the rest of the negroes decline to tell any thing whatever about it, declaring they know nothing of it. Constable Stewart. in arresting promptly the latest murderer at the camp. has set an example that is bringing upon him the commendation of everyone inter- ested in plotting out the levee cess. pool of crime.

THAT IS THEORY NOW AS TO FLOATER FOUND IN THE
 RIVER.
It Theory Is True, There Is Small Probability of His Murderer
 Being Appre!lended.

The generally accepted theory now k that the body of the dead negro found in the Arkansas river at q point four miles above the city last Sunday afternoon, was the remains negro employe of the leyce gang north of here. The Killing of negroes at this Camp has become of such ire quent occarreHce that in some in. stances the officers here are never notified of the tragedy, and little at tontion seems to be paid to the mat ter by anyone.
 The negro brought here. according to the coroners verdict, had been shot and thrown into the river The supposition on the part of many is that the negro became involved in che of those alterations so frequent at the levee camp. and after being silot either jumped into the river or was thrown in. He nay have attempt ed to swim across the stream, after getting inc trouble, and becoming ex- hausted sunk to the bottom and was drowned.
 If such is the case, there is little likelihood of his murderer ever being apprehended or even the dead ne gro's identity being established, for the members of the levee gang are transient lot of negroes without home or resting place, and when one dis appears little is thought of it. and he is soon forgotten.
