OBJECT TO NEGRO TROOPS
Whites Refuse 70 Eat at the Same
Tables With the Blacks.

Burlington. Nt.-Coufronted with a
question similar 10 that which disturbed
the police Of Brownsville, Tex, aud re
suited in a national scandal, the people
Of Northwestern Vermont are In an up
roar OF protest and are acting not unlike
their Southern brethren.
Burlington, one Of the northernmost
cities Of New England, j. up in arms over
the decision Of the government TO quar-
ter 200 negro cavalrymen at f. Ethan
Allea, three miles from the city. White
people have refused 60 eat at restaurants
with the negroes, and citizens Of Dur
lington and Winooski are seriously de.
manding separate cars for whites and
blacks
Winooski, a mile and half from the
fort, has a population Of i,4OO. When ali
the companies Of Tenth cavalry have ar
rived there will be 1900 negroes there.
Thus the town finds itself facing a con-
dition similar 10 that in many Southern
cities and towns, where the negro popu-
lation is nearly as large or larger than
the white.

TAFT PARDONS PRISONER
Was Given Life Sentence and Had
Served Twelve Years.

Washington.-'I won't allow any
d--n man to whittle me of my saddle"
is the explanatory remark attributed to
c. l. Arlington, after he had killed 0s-
car Hodges, on the ArkansGs-Indian Ter
ritory Border, in the later nineties, and
Monday Arlington was psrdoned after
serving a sentence Of more than ? dozen
years Imprisonment. He was charged
with the murder of Hodges in Red River
County, Choctaw Nation, Indian Terri
tory, and was sentenced 10 be hanged
on September 4, 1897. President Me
Kinley commuted his sentence to i'm
prisonment for life, and Monday Presi-
dent Taft committed the sentence so
that il will expire Immediately. The
evidence showed that Hodges had threat
ened to cut Arlington 'off his horse"
and there was no evidence of motive
for the murder.

From the time Of the shooting Of
Sheriff Compton excitement has been in

vehicles and armed men on horses dashed

at all times assembling on the Court
Square and on the street corners, and at
every umor anxious and angry citizens
collected. anxious TO learn something Of

much inquiry, but only few Of his per

GALE AT GALVESTON
WIND ATTAINED VELOCITY or
90 MILES AN HOUR.
Ten Perish on Pier Six Miles From
City-Sea Wall Prevented Rep
etition of 1900 Disaster.

Galveston, Tcx.-Ten dead is the total
of death claimed as far as is known In
the hurricane which swept over the Gulf
of Mexico and struck Galveston Wcdnes-
day morning and continuing until after
midday. While the city Of Galveston
was held safe against the fury of the
storm by the new government 100000
sea wall far out in the gulf, ON the tar
pom fishing pier, seven miles from the
city, where the storm whipped over the
jetty into the bay, ten persons were
washed from the rocky promontories in
the gulf.
The first intimation that the storm
was approaching the Texas coast came
Tuesday evening. when about o'clock
the wind, which had been blowing from
the northeast, began TO increase in We
locity, and il kept gaining in force until
at 1850 o'clock Wednesday morning il
had reached velocity OF siNty-nine miles
according to the report Of the weather
bureau.
With the increasing wind, the barom-
eter began to drop. falling slowly until
$3.50, when it took almost a sudden shoot
downward, reaching $3.50 at 10 am. At
this time the storm was at its height,
the wind blowing a gale, and the streets
were filling with water, backed up from
the bay front through the sewers. II
was during the time between $3.50 and
10 o'clock that the resorts on the beach
gave way, and with this disaster came
the widest of reports OF other damage
done on the beach.
Tie Galveston sea wall. that magnif-
cent structure designed and erected by
the greatest engineering skill of the
country, proved that it was capable Of
doing all that was promised Of it, and
II is conceded by all that had il not
been for its protection lives and prop
erty would have been lost. The waves
disturbed by the influence Of the tornado
reached above the riprap work and struck
on the wall with tremendous force,
where they were broken into spray and,
after being thrown into the air fully
so feet, were hurled back into the gulf.
The wall stood without a shake, and
proved tHat IL mas nldue balNtslOu SAFE
from a repetition of the calamity of
1900.
In the eastern part of the city, where
the grade-raising canal is yet incomplete,
the northeast wind drove the water up
into the canal and the waves overlspped
the banks and came into the streets, but
only for a short time.
As soon as the wind changed the wa
ter in the canal at once subsidized and
the water in' the streets ran back into
the gulf. In the western part Of the city
several buildings in course Of consrue
tion were also damaged and several
buildings that were raised above the
grade-raising canal were blown from their
foundations.
Although a high tide is running on
the bay side, the damage is practically
confined to a number of small launches,
which broke loose from their moorings
and drifted away. II is impossible at
this early hour to secure the names of
any of the craft that will doubtless be
wrecked on the jetties or drift out TO
sea.
