BILL STTRS UP NEGROES.
They Object to Clause CITING Them
Equally Good" Accommodations.
Iron The Tribune Bureau.l

washington. Nav l9-TO the amusement OF
members OF Congress, negroes in all parts OF
the country are delpging their Senators and
Representatives with protests against the sanc-
ton Of the Railroad Rate bill, which provides
that:
II shall be the duty Of carriers engaged in in
ferstate commerce 20 give equally good service
and Recommendations to all persons paying the
same compensation for interstate Transports
ton OF passengers.
II was supposed by members Of the Senate
who added this provision TO the bill that they
were assuring 10 the negroes OF the country as
good accommodations as could be optained oS
whites paying the same fare. For some un-
known reason, however, the negroes maintain
that this is equivalent to enaeting "a national
Him Crow law" They say that il viii perpetu-
ate an injury and humiliation to their race ana
they assert their loyalty to the Republican party
and intimate that the consequences at the polls
will be dire If this provision is kept in the Dill.
As 1t was inserted only to protect the rights OF
the negroes, and. they all seem to want II
stricken out it is probable that the cOnferrees
will cheerfully remove it,
Those who have travelled in the South and
have seen negroes. paying first class fares,
crowded into little compartments OF the smoking
car, men and women together, the men smoking,
as a rule while the white passengers VINO mao
paid equal fare had first class coach. thought
thew were providing well for the negro when
4bev inserted a clause compelling carriers to
give the negro equally good accommodations
for the same money. OF course, the negroes
would doubtless welcome an amendment 20 the
act which would forbid any separation Of whites
from blacks but that is a futile hope me
Democrats would fibuster from now until the
next session Of Congress before they would per-
NIT such an amendment TO be adopted, and IN
the end II would doubtless defeat the entire
measure. - - .
The clause now embodied in the bill will in
the opinion OF the best friends OF the negro in
sure him as good accommodations as are ac-
corded TO any one, and II would seem TO be
greatly to his. interest to take what he can get
rather than reject all legislation with the
chimeTical hope of getting something better VI
4imately However, Congress will doubtless do
as the negro voters wish when il comes TO re-
tanning or rejecting this amendment.

VICE CONSUL KILLED
W. H. Stuart, american Official,
Slain Near Batoum.

Bat0um May 2i-WiliaTn III. Stuart, the
American Viee-Censul here, was shot and killed
near his country place last night. The sssassins
escaped.
Mr.. Stuart, having dined at the house Of a
friend, was returning TO his country place at
Manziad3ani. five miles from Batoum. when ne
was fired on twice from clump Of trees half a
mile from his home. one bullet piercing mis- leg
and another his breast. Mr.. Sterne the British
Vice-Consul at Novorossiisk. who was a guest
at Mr.. Stuart's house. hearing the shooting, hur-
Fied out with servants and found Mr.. Stuart
lying on the ground bleeding from his wounds.
He was still conscious, but said he would not be
able TO recognize his assassin owing TO the dark
ness. Mr. Stuart was conveyed 70 a military bar
racks In the vicinity, where he died In two hours
The body was carried this morning to the con-
sulate at BatoIm.
Mr.. Stuart was a British subject He was one
OF the largest ship brokers and exporters Of
Batoum. In the revolutionary troubles last fall
his life was many times threatened by long
shoremen. and at Christmas a deputation visited
MIR. stuart's Office and practically compelled him
to give them $500 under the guise Of a holi-
day gratuity for dock laborers. Aside from these
troubles Mr.. Stuart had had no friction with the
native population. He was so generally re-
spected that he was on several occasions called
upon TO act as intermediary in the racial war
between the Tartars and the Armenians, and
saved the lives of several Of the latter.
Mr. Stuart was fOrty-nine years old. He had
spent the greater part Of his life in Russia, the
last twelve years in Batoum. Besides his off,
cial connections he had extensive business rela-
lions through the Caucasus. He spoke several
native dialects and was considered an author
ity on land. The police have no trace of the
murderers.
Washington, May 21.-The State Department
received confirmation Of the murder of w H.
Stuart the American Vice-Consul at BatOum
in dispatch from Ambassador Meyer at St
Petersburg The dispatch merely stated that
the British Consul at Batoum advised the Amer
lean Embassy at st. Petersburg of the murder
of Mr. Stuart and said the murderers escaped.
Ambassador Meyer having taken cOgnizance
of the case, the State Department officials do
not believe that it requires action at their hands
at this moment. It is not doubted that the Rus
sian government will make every effort to capt
ure the assassins and mete out full punishment
TO them.
The vice-consul had filed the post for about
two years At the time Of his death he was
acting CONSUL.
Batoum is on the east coast of the Black Sea,
and has a population OF 10000, chiefly Turks
and Armenians The European population, in
Guiding Russian. is about 5000. 1t is in the
heart OF the Russian oil district and the Ship
ping Of petroleum is the chief industry.

SENATE MAY REJECT LANE.
His Fate Apparently Depending on Enlarge

from The Tribune Bureaul
Washington May 21.-Considerable interest
attaches 70 the fate OF Franklin K. Lane, Of Cal
ifornia. who was nominated by the President
several months ago as Interstate Commerce
Commissioner. His nomination has been held
up in the Senate Committee on Finance pending
the disposal OF the Rate bill, as it was assumed
that this measure would enlarge the commits
sion. in which case Mr.. Lane would doubtless
have been confirmed The Senate, however
struck out Section Of the BILL leaving the COM
mission as 1t is now. with only five members.
Mr.. Lane is a Democrat, and his confirmation
would result IN a Democratic majority. This
would be obnoxious to a large number of Sen
aforE, and Mr. Lanes nomination will doubtless
be rejected unless the House insists on the
restoration Of its provision charging the com
mission TO seven. If the House should so insist
and the Senate consent, Mr.. Lane would prob
ably be confirmed, although there would be con-
siderable opposition in any event, as Mr.. Lane
Is said to be not only Democrat but a disciple
OF Henry George, single taxer.
Mr.. Lanes fate. therefore, may be said to rest
on the action of the House conferrees.
