Race Problem Stirs Douglas

The race question has made its appearance in Arizona anu Douglas IS the seat of the trouble which grew cut of the murder of white man By a worthless negro and the subsequent effort to segregate the races in the schools. The people of &he smelter city are up in arms over the question and the feeling has reached such pitch that would dead to an outbreak on slight pro- vocation. The negroes are deter anined that there shall be no Jim Crow school in Douglas and have protested against the segregation. 1t looks now as though the matter would be taken to the highest courts in the land.
 g|he parents of the majority of Ghe white children, it IS said. are determined that their children shall not attend school in the same room with colored children, and the most of the colored parents say that their children shall get their schooling under the same condi. tiOns that are provided for the white children.
 Many of the colored people of the thrifty working element were will. ing that their children should be put by themselves, but a colored minister went to the school, in vestigated the room and the teach ing provided for the colored chil- dren, and according to his idea oI the fitness of things, 1t was not uE to what he considered the standard He made his report and conse- quently the colored people believed Ghat their children were getting the

mssIeo Friendly to Foreign Capital.

The Wall Street Summary, q Ginancial journal, of recent date, presented the following article of real interest.
 Ramon Corral, Nice-P President of Mexico, and Minister oi the Interior, has written letter to George J. Me- Cdrty, prominent mining man in Mexico, who is on a trip to New York, regarding the proposed new mining law for Mexico, which ias considerably dis turbed mining interests in that country aud Americans here who have invested III Mexican mines The letter may be safely taken aS expressing the position 0f the Mexican Government on this question It follows: II have had the pleasure of receiving your favor of the -5th instant, and am obliged to you for Ghe information you therein convey to nee as regards the impressions now pre- vsiling among the mining people in the Dtited States due to the project of a new mining law in Mexico
 You are quite right in assuring your friends who had invested, or may desire eG invest in mining enterprises here, that no law is to be promulgated that will endanger or prejudice in any way their capital, but on the contrary, the tendency of the Mexican Government is constantly to give more assurances to foreign capital so it may come to the country to aid us in developing our s0Erees of wealth, principally the mines.
 1'The newspapers have published sen satlon&l articles on the subject of new naIRing law, saying that an anti-fOreign sentiment is growing up in'Mexico hut. fortunately, this is entirely false for the Government and the public of this S.0Untry know we'll that the capital and Lhe werk of the foreigners give u, b'ae. fits of general character, helping up to create enterprises and to develop pros perity.
 ''You can therefore, with all r0nf- sicnce, say that Mexico continues to be toward the foreigners what it has always been during the administration of Gen. seTal BAz, q country that iS open l. everybody, friendly to all, and where we de not inquire where people come from SO offer our friendship.
 4|I hope you may be able to carry through the important mining business y0u speak to me about, and that thi: may Rot be the only one. To this end the fnancial conditions of this country Seeing much better now, should greatly help you"

wprst of il, hence lIe dissatisfaction ot the negroes.
 The coloted people haveprotested lo the governor at PhWnix and say that they will carry the matter to Washington Th. affair has not tended to improve the temper of the white people. many of whom were greatly aroused over the re- cent killing and the growing i'm pudence of certain negroes, who have also been a disturbing element among their own people.
 The better element of the colored population are alarmed over the situation and some of them. who have bought little places, haye put their homes on the market for sale, as they feel that they are not wanted in Douglas and that there will sooner CT later be serious trouble between the whites and negro population of the town.
 The city officials have the situa- ton we'll in hand and there is not much likelihood of there being any outbreak very soon, unless the worthless negro element tries tc start something. When Il few weeks ago it looked as though there was going to be a general cleaning ont of the negroes, the blacks were for the most part in state oI terror Some of them who were employed about town by white people appealed to their employer: for protection, others went into hiding and in one or two instances their fright reached such a pitcf that illness resulted.
 Occurring almost at the sam, time of the Springfield race riots many feared that there would b, serious results, owing to the aglta ton of imretuous southerners anC negro baiters and to the yelled hints of one of the Douglas paper, to'the effect that it would be un wise at that time for the coloreC parents to object to the segregation of the races in the schools.
