TILLNIAN STARTS RACE TALK.
Nomination OF Dr. Crum Precipitates
Lively Discussion I'm Senate.

Washington, ID. c. Post, Feb. s. 'O9l
The executive session yesterday
called particularly 10 consider the
nomination of DR.. W. ID. Crum, TO be
collector of customs, at Charleston.
S. c., developed into a general dis
cussion of the race question with in
cidental reference to the Chinese and
Japanese questions that are bother
ing the Pacific Coast States.
More than four hours were spent
behind closed doors and when the
Senate adjourned the Crum case was
no nearer a settlement than when the
matter first came up. Soon after
Senator Tillmau took the floor he
called for a quorum and announced
his prupose of maintaining a quorum
throughout the day.
This threat, which promised to
compel the attendance of Senators
whether they wished to listen to Mr.
Tillman's argument or not, led to a
discussion OF the rules of the Senate
The Vice-Presldent reminded the Sen
ator from South Carolina and others,
that during the closing hours of the
last session, the Senate had ruled
that business must intervene between
calls for quorum, and that under
that ruling a speech could not be con-
strued as business"
Although there were Senators pres
ent who dissented from that ruling
and the construction placed upon ii
by the Vice President there was no
occasion during the afternoon to call
forth any further ruling on the ques-
tion.
Mr.. Tillman made an extended
speech against the confirmation OF DR..
Crum, although no charges OF any
sort had been preferred against him
or the administration of the affairs
of his Office during his incumbency
of the term that has expired. Mr..
Tillman submitted ITO the Senate a
number OF communications he had
received from various commercial
bodies OF Charleston opposing confr-
nation, and used them in the course
OF his remarks TO show the over
whelming sentiment against the fur
ther continuance of colored official
in one of the most important of the
Southern offices.
Taking the position that where
there Is any considerable population
OF race that cannot be assimilated
by the white people OF this country.
there is bound to be race aneagonism
Mr. Bacon sustained Mr.. Tillman In
his opposition TO the selection OF a
Negro for this Office.
The Crum case will come up again
to-day, IL being the policy OF the Re
puolicans to keep 1t before the Senate
as much as possible. with a view TO
us disposition before the session
ends.

To USE ALMsHoUsE SITE.

councilman Umlauf introduced a
resolution for the erection of a school
building on the site OF the old aims
mouse property. Except for its close
proximity to Navy Hill School the
proposition is all right. Our Rich
mond school system has been the
pest In the country and the tendency
OF the patriotic white gentlemen in
charge of our public school affaire
mas been to give the colored people
OF the city a square deaI'. but II
does seem that this policy is to nm
aerso change If we are to Judge nv
the present arrangement. 1t seems
20 us that IL the white High School
building and its equipments are IN
cost half million dollars II is hnt
ialr that structure for the coiored
pupils should be provided TO cost an
least one hundred thousand dollars
but then II may be well to wait ana
see what We shall see. Under the
iead dership of Chairman Marx Gunst
we are In possession of a commodious
new building for our Door and tbe
piace is now known as the CITY Hos
ptal. II may be that some other
opeii-hearted and patriotic citizen
may champion our cause I'm this mat
ter or public school buildings We
nad some good friends On the civ
School Board and in the ConnciI ~

FEAR RACE RIOT.
Wholesale Arrests I'm Pittsburg Cause

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. an spite OF
many threats OF armed resistance up
on the part of colored people IL the
police continue their Wholesale ar
rests of members of their race with
out employment in the Heron Hill
district Of the city. no outbreak of
any kind has occurred up TO late to-
night. Following the arrest last
night OF 1876 colored men and the
release to-day e all but forfy-one.
the police force IN the district has
been doubled tonight and every pa
trolman has orders 60 arrest every
suspicious colored man.
During this afternoon three were
taken 20 police stations. and 81 is an

Will be arrested. No further attack
upon women or girls has been report
ed since last night. and should one
occur the temper OF the citizens is
such that violence very probably
would be meted out to the assailant
IL caught. Men and women through
out the section involved are carrying
reyolvers. and the Negroes are said
to be we'll armed also.
Should a clash come. as Is consid-
cred not at all improbable II more
arrests are made. the result would
be serious. Local orators are infam-
ing the colored people 10 resistance.
and the feeling is high. The police.
however, seem 10 have the situation
well in hand, and probably will not
make further indiscriminate arrests

night. thirty-ninc were fined, most OF
them going to the workhouse. and

MORALES GOES
 DOWN IN DEFEAT
Cananea Diamond Gladiators VanQuiSh Visitors in An
 Exciting Game

CANANEA. April 12.-The Nogales bali tossers came over Sunday, fully expecting defeat. and therefore were not disappointed. They did the best they could. and while not seeking any consolation were accorded the sympa- thy and best wishes of the fans, who for the first time lustily cheered an opposing team. They are a nice gang of fellows, did not raise a kick or show a trace of i'll feeling, but were hopelessly outclassed.
 As an evidence of the general good feeling. the boys gave them tally in the ninth that could have been easily prevented. Three or four pitchers toed the rubber for the border team. but they were mixed up so that it Is difficult to show their record on the score.
 Wkile the local team is incomplete, the lineup was prety strong. Rear don, Baroldy and Gamble each twirled three innings. Baroldy, who Is book ed for the outfeld. made a splendid catch. which satisfied the spectators that he can fill Hodges shoes. Downs handled the big mitt like a veteran. but was retired in the sixth inning by an injured ankle, which he wrenched badly in sliding to second.
 Macey caught the rest of the time. Hart of Bosco fame. going to the right garden.
 Result: Cananea, 35: Nogales. 1.

ABOUT THAT TIME
 HE WOKE tip
A BiSbee Man Figures He Has Smoked a Ton of
 Tobacco

This is not a dream. but the comics sions of a cigarette smoker. He has smoked cigarettes for twenty years and lives to tell the story. It is startling. Here Is what he has hon estly computed told in his own language:
 All the cigarettes I have ever smoked. considering each cigarette to be 2 3-4 inches in legnth would reach from Bisbee to Naco and back am up fifteen hours out of twenty-four. I estimate that I smoke a cigarette every. uuarter-of an hour, which would be sixty per day. At that rate l smoke 1900 cigarettes per month or 2I. 600 per year. For a period of twen- tv years this means the smoking ot 432 900 cigarettes. Think of it. The cigarettes cost me anywher from one half a cent to one cent each. or we will say from S2,16G to S4,320, which Is more than enough to give any you1g man a start in life. The tobacco 1T these cigarettes would weigh nearly 1 a ton. The paper wrappers spread ou would cover an acre and three-quart CTS.
