 SEEKS NEGROES.

Meridian, Miss, November 13-(Special.) ) the county jail here from Macon, Noxu- bee county, and placed in jail for safe keeping, it being stated that 9 mob of angry citizens were securing the coun- try for him. It is alleged that Lewis originated trouble on Monday night at Macon that resulted in general disorder eliminating in the shooting of a negro deputy marshal by an unknown party and the burning of his home by the mob. At a performance of a negro minstrel com- pany, Lewis Is said to have been ordered away because of his noisy applause.

 Dr. D. W. Shepherd, the negro deputy marshal, was ordered to sit down or get out, and another row started, result negroes were locked up in jail, and the angry citizens organized mob.

When the mob found their search for both men fruitless, 1t is said they became more angry and went to Shep- herds home in search of him. Finding him away, they set fire to the place and watched 1t burn to the ground. With the removal of the negroes it is stated tonight that quiet reigns at the little town, and no further trouble is anticipated.

FRICTION BETWEEN
 RUSSIANS AND LAPS
IT IS REPORTED THAT TWO RUS- SIAN CRUISERS HAVE BEEN DE- STROYED BY JAPANESE IN THE VICINITY OF SEAL ISLANDS.

Washington, November 13.-No confirma- ton of the Victoria report that two Rus sian converted cruisers had been sunk by a Japanese destroyer in the neighborhood of the Seal Islands, has been had at the war department or the Russian or Jap anese embassies here.
 Unofficial reports are to the effect that there has been much friction between the Russian guards patrolling the seal rookeries in the neighborhood of Copper islands and Japanese seal poachers similar to the friction which has arisen in the case of our own seal islands and the officials would not be surprised if blood shed resulted off Copper island as In the case of the Prybilov islands. One report was that the crew of q Japanese seal ing vessel had attacked the Russian shore patrol, firing repeatedly at the block house as the latter sought refuge. In re- turn the Russian cruisers have captured several Japanese sealing vessels and harc. fighting has resulted because the Japa- nese claim that they were unlawfully seized outside of the limit and the fisher men have called upon their own govern- ment for protection.
 So the situation is regarded here as one that might readily become critical in case a Japanese warship should fall in with a Russian cruiser carrying off a prize of this kind

 ton of laps in Schools.

San Francisco, November 13.-The Call will say tomorrow that Secretary Met calf before leaving for Washington to- day confided to a few intimate friends that the sentiment of the people of San Francisco, if not the whole of the state, was opposed to allowing Japanese or Chi nese children to mlngle freely with Cau- easian children in the public schools, and that it was likely that the statute pro- viding for Asatic children being taught in separate schools would be strengthened at the coming session of the legislatur
 The secretary said further, according to the Call, that it was his opinion as a lawyer that the treaty between the United States and Japan guaranteed to the children of Japan residents in this country, the right to an education in t.
 public schools without discrimination and on an equal plane with the children of the most favored nations, and that he so would report to President Roosevelt. It was further his opinion that the word .'Mongolian," strictly interpreted, meant natives of Mongolia, that the Japanese could not be brought under that designa- ton and the federal courts would de- clare the state law nconstitutional

 the Enormous croE.

Havana, November 13.-Certain mem bers of the Agrarian league, which is composed of prominent planters, accom- panied by number of agents, held a conference with Governor Magoon today on the question of scarcity of labor in the handling of the maturing sugar crop. The planters urged the necessity of making use of the s1.000,0o0 appropriated by the late Cuban Congress for the stimula- tion of immigration, and pointed out that Cuba was suffering severely by the com- pletion of other nations seeking immigra- ton, especially the republics of South America and the United States, and the importation of labor to Panama.
 The next sugar crop promises to be very large, and the planters expressed grave fears that the present labor supply would be insufficient to handle it. Gov ernor Magoon listened with great inter- est to the suggestions of his visitors, and arranged'to hold further conferences with the committees.

FEW GREET WITTE ON
 RETURN TO CAPITAL
Reception Yesterday In Striking Con- trast to That After His Return
 From Portsmouth.

St. Petersburg, November 19.-The ar rival of Count Witte here yesterday cre- ated scarcely ripple or the surface of Russian politics
 In contrast with his reception after his return from Portsmouth, when a throng gathered at the railroad station to greet him, and the street in front of his house was blocked the following day by the car riages of high personages coming to pay their respects to the man of the hour, the count was met at the depot by only Baron Aide and few reporters, and he received very few callers this morning. The rare arrivals were closely scrutinized by agents Of the secret police and because of the reported threats of assassination Count Witte denied himself to reporters.
 Lt is authoritatyely stated that meas ures for relieving the Jews of many of their disabilities will be pushed as tenn pcrary legislation before the convocation of Parliament. The full extent of the re- forms is still a matter for discussion by cabinet officers, but they comprise per- mission for Jews to live in the country as well as in the cities within the pale. and the removal of certain restrictions placed on Jewish merchants and artisans in cities outside the pale.
 The full settlement of the Jewish prob lem Is left to Parliament.

RUSSIAN PULLS OFF FAKE BOMB FRISCO Hired Man to Throw Harmless
 Missile at Him THEN SHOT THE THR0WER Was About to Lose Job and Hoped to Arouse the Sympathy of the Elm
 peror By Attack On
 Life.

Moscow, November 13-General Rhein- bot, at whom a bomb was thrown yester- day, has received hundreds of messages, including personal communication from Emperor Nicholas, through Premier Stoly- pin, and a dispatch from Count Witte, congratulating him on his escape.
 In spite of these congratulations, which gs''e color to the official version of the attempt on tho projects life, there are ugly rumors in Moscow that General Rheinbot was himself the author of the plot against his own life. He is thought to have schemed to retrieve his sinking fortunes and to stave off retirement, it having been decided upon in official cir cles, to relieve him from duty. These suspicious rumors are supported by cer- tain circumstantlal evidence. General Rheinbot, at the time the attempt on his life was made, was following an un- usual path on foot through narrow al- | leys.
 Considered Very Suspicious.
 The bomb exploded in manner de- scribed as highly suspicious. Pieces picked up on the spot show it to have been nothing more than an imitation bomb, quite without effective covering and per fectly harmless
 It failed to explode until 1t had rolled to the opposite side of the street and to safe distance from the prefect. The original theory was that the bomb did not go off because the dynamite in it was frozen. Now the police explain. 1t was a fuse bomb and the social revolu- tionists discarded such missiles long ago.
 Shooting Caused Indignation.
 On account of the indignation aroused at the statement that General Rheinbot shot down his assailant while he was being held by two policemen, statement Is issued tonight to the effect that the bomb thrower, when he was killed by the general, was struggling to escape and that he also fired at the prefect, but the revolver which he is alleged to have used, has not been found.
 It Is declared tonight that the man did not have a revolver; that he fired at nobody and that he had been promised that he would be allowed to escape. Gen. eral Rlleinbot, however, is alleged to have shot him to get rid of him. The claim made by the police that the man was a brother of Vladimir Mazury, has been disproved.
