 Here the police suggested that tho undesirables be taken tO jail. This vas hailed with delight and the blacks were hustled along. From this time on ver.- few were beaten. the blood thirsty ones in the mob seemingly being satisfied during the attack on the lodging houses. The mob kept up it's work along the water front until very early this morning when Larson's mill was visited and a hUndras blacks were brought in there. Four women were found this morning among thc city buildings. There was quiet today but there is a strong under-current of opinion which apparently approves the action Of the mob and it may b. fouuI impossible to prosecute the leaders. Racial feeling played but a small part in the affair as every day the whites were being replaced in the mills by blacks. The invaders become bold. in sOlent and many instances of women being pushed into the gutter and in- suited on the street cars. etc are be- ing reported. The general uneasiness of the whites is given the reason 10 rthe outbreak. The Hindus are alI British subjects and the ease is being placed before the British authorities

COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT.
City Licenses to be Considered at spe-
 ciaI Session.

City Licenses to be Considered at Spc-
 ciaI Session.
 For the purpose of reconsidering the vote by which an ordinance was adopt ed last Thursday night. amending the local license section of the City Code, the city council has been called to meet at 8 o'clock tonight, at the City Hall The call also stipuiates that the Committees are to be heard.
 The session of the aldermen tonight is probably due to the license imposed upon the fire insurance companies, and to the objections to the same which such agents have made. The Finance Committee of the council at a meeting a few nights ago considered the mat ter informally, and will probably make a report on this particular feature tc- night.
 In all probability. Mayor Teague will veto the ordinance which the Aldermen will discuss tonight, by which he will give the city fathers on Monday nIght another chance at reconsideration. Yesterday the mayor was busy the whole of the day looking over the va rious sections of the ordinance, and in view of the fact tha tlnany are known to displease him, 1t Is expected that he will veto the entire measure.
 Particular objection will be made by the chief executive to the measure on three sections, should he veto the or- dinance, first, the saloon license: sec ond, the tax rate, and in all probability, third, the insurance clause above re- ferred to.

 Tuesday the Board of Pardons, on account of the recommendation of the foreman of the trial jury and the en- tire membership of that jury, recom- mended to the Governor that the lif4 of David Beeman be spared and thnt he he allowed to spend the rest of his days at hard labor for the State.
