WELDING TOGETHER CHASING NECR0ES
FORAkER'S BILL TO MARK GRAVES OF coNFEDERATEs
 BURIED IN NORTH PASSED.
Government Powder Plant Subject of Discussion During Debate Over
 Army Appropriation Bill.

Washington, March 1.-The house today passed the army appropriation bill, also the Foraker bill provid ng for the marking of the graves of Con- federate dead buried in the north. The passage of the latter bill was hasten ed by reason of a discussion of bill on the same subject What was said developed the unanimous sentiment n favor of marking Confederate graves, and as the bill had, during the morning session of the military committee, received favorable action it was brought in by MT. Prince and passed unanimously.
 The alleged powder trust came in for a scoring in debate. and Democrat ic endeavor to have the government beg.n the manufacture of it's own pow der consumed some time, but met defeat. both on points of order and finally by direct vote.
 The army bill as passed, carries something more than $69,00O,000.
 The house agreed to a senate joint resolution which continues the tribal government of the five civil zed tribes of Indians in Indian Territory until the property of the Indians shall be disposed of.
 Criticism of Postoffice Department.
 The passage of resolution calling or the postmaster general for all in- formation and reason why the Union News" of Thomaston, Ga. should be excluded from the mails as second class matter furnished the text for speeches by MT. Bartlett of Georgia and Mir. Williams of Mississippi, critieising the "autocratic bureau rule" of the postoffice department.
 MT. Williams reviewed ruling of the treasury department that frogs legs were dressed poultry made, he said. n the interest of frog raiser of the northeast to protect him from Canadian frogs also the ruling that wooden piano hammers, padded, were wooden goods.
 The army bill was then taken up. Points of order by MT. Smith of Iowa Were fatal to two para graphs in the bill one providing $250.000 cable ship for the Atlantic seaboard and the other s15o000 for torpedo planter and launcher for the Pacific coast New legislation" was the basis of the po'nt

hers of the union who have pledged themselves to market their cotton with the Southern Warehouse and Storage company will not go back on their pledge and leave you in the hole?" was the next question asked, to which Mr. Pyle repl ed: They will not go back on their pledge for the reason that they can not always be deubting Thomases. Several years ago. when the price dropped to five cents, we sent telegrams to all of the sovernofs and senators of the various states to call meetings of the farmers and have them hold their cotton unt the ten-cent mark was reached. The majority of the farmers held their cot ton. and the price set was reached along in the spring We have done similar things since then and prov ed to the doubting ones that we can control the price, We did this when the men held their cotton stored in their own barns. and at a time when they could not get any money advanc- ed on it, as they can with the new warehouse company. and get the ben eft of the cotton, while at the same time it is kept off the market.
 When asked what he considered a fair price to be asked for the cotton he sad that he believed it would be in the neighborhood of fifteen cents.
 The work of dividing the South into districts will be carried on in connection With the National Farmers union, which they expect to complete within the next thirty days. It is eX- pected that the south will be divid into about fifteen or twenty distr cts, at the head of which will be placed a cotton expert, under-~whose: charge there will be from thirty-five to forty warehouses.
 MT. Pyle also stated that the excu- tive committee of the National Farm ers' union was very strongly in favor of moving their. headquarters from Mineola, Tex, to Memphis, and that 1t would probably be done in the near future. s

DESPITE PRESENCE OF TROOPS OHiOAN'S CONTINUE THEIR
 DEPREDATlONS.
Homes of Negroes in Various Parts of City Set on Fire and Negroes
 Are Leaving by Wholesale.

Springfield, O., March 1.-The mob and race r.ots begun here last night as the result of the shooting of Daniel M. Davis, a railroad man, by Ladd tonight, the eight companies of troops called out to assist the local officers in preserving order not being ample to prevent the destruction of two houses and the part al demolition of a dozen or more tonight at the hands Of the mob.
 Up to midnight no casualties had occurred and the riot had consisted mainly of marching mobs, which either set fire to or stoned the houses of negroes. Hundreds of people are i n the streets, and the excitement con tinues intense.
 On East Main street early tonight a mob of 800 chased a negro, but he escaped.
 The "Flickers Nest" which is in habited by negroes and which figured in the Dixon mob and subsequent race war two years ago, was assailed to- night and several attempts were made i to fire it, but as it is guarded by militiamen the effort has so far failed.
 Several negroes who had been chased by the angered whites from the negro quarter of the city made their way to the city building, which is in charge of the soldiers.
 Many negroes are fleeing from the city and going to Columbus, Dayton, 1 Eenia and Urbana.
 It is estimated that 100 negroes have left since last midnight Two Houses Burned, Others Stoned.
 Up to 11:30 o'clock tonight the inobs had succeeded in burning two ! hauses and had stoned and partially demolished a dozen others, all being irhabited by negroes. The first place visited was the home of George Mil ] iIl dl CIh d1lu streets. When the assault began in the rear of the house Miller ran in his bare feet and without. coat or hat and es- I capped from his pursuers by going to the city hall, where he found shelter with the troops. Coal oil was applied to his house, which was soon a mass of flames and was quickly destroyed From Miller's house the mob went to the home of John Logan and Noah Ingraham, a double frame on York street, and the torch was applied, fol- lowing the escape of the occupants
