SHERIFF AMONG
THOSE KILLED
TWENTY NEGROES ARE RE-
PORTED TO HAVE BEEN
KILLED OR WOUNDED
State Militia Under Orders to Be
Ready to Move-Adjutant General
Advised of Situation-Raneers
Rushed to the Scene.

Houston, Tex, July 30.-Special
dispatch from Palestine report a
serious riot at Slocum, in Anderson
county, a small town fifteen miles
south of Palestine, last night. The
latest advices state that twenty ne
groes were killed and three white
men were badly wounded.
The trouble was precipitated in a
controversy over a note a man nam
ed Afford indorsed for negro. The
negro, when questioned about the
reason why he had not paid the note,
cursed Afford and said no white man
could do him. Fighting between
them began, and others being drawn
in to affairs, trouble continued
throughout last night.
Sheriff Black, with a large posse
of citizens, heavily armed, have gone
to SlCcum. The situation is report
ed as being very serious, and the
Governor may be appealed to for the
militia. Many citizens not included
in the posse, left Palestine and will
said, are organizing and there are
two hundred armed negroes at Den
nison Springs, near Slocum, who, it
is reported, expressed the intention
of cleaning OUT the entire white
community.
Rangers Rushed to Scene.
Austin advices are that the Texas
Rangers have been hastened to the
scene of the race trouble, and the
militia placed under orders for
prompt movement.
Later Palestine specials say it is
known twenty-one negroes are dead,
and one white man, deraty sheriff
of Houston county, was killed. Two
hundred negroes are surrounded at
Benson Springs, and the whites are
awaiting the arrival of reinforce
ments before opening fire or forcing
them to surrender.

Unrest Among People.

In some quarters it is believed that
the Holy See counts upon the fall of
the governmnt. Canalejas, however
is said to have had the assurance of
the kings support at the time he de-
termined upon his plan for religious
reforms.
The general situation is complicat-
ed by the unrest among the miners
in the Catalonian provinces and the
occasional clashes between the Cath
olic and non-Catholic elements
throughout the country.
Ell Mundo, discussing the threaten
ed break between the Spanish gov
ernment and the vatican over the re-
fusal Cf Premier Canalejas to recind
the imperial decree which permits
non Catholic societies to display the
insignia for public worship says:
"The Holy See has no reason to

RUPTURE BETWEEN SPANISH

APPEARS IMMINENT.

Madrid, July 90.-Ominous reports
are received following the publica-

the vatican appears imminent.
At San Sebastian, Don Jaimo, the
pretender, has issued a manifesto, in
which he says that he will lead the
Carlists in a battle, which he init
mates may be coming soon.
1t is expected that Premier Canale-
jas will ask King Alfonso to set the
stamp of approval upon the course
that the premier has adopted.
The vatican has declared that the
negotiations looking to a revision of
the concordant cannot be continued
until the imperial decree permitting
nonCatholic societies to display the
insignia of public worship has been
withdrawn. Canalejas has despond-

that evening with the officers. Whatever
deficiencies there may have been in the
menu were more than made up by the
liberal supply of liquor which was served
at this soldiers banquet. Those were
hard drinking days. BY the time that
the dinner was over everybody about the

next TO Maj. Williams, aid-de-camp to
Lord Stirling. In a moment of drunken
confidence Wilkinson impaired to Will

Hardly had the emissary of Gates and
Conway ridden on his journey the next
morning when Lord Stirling dispatched
another messenger by cnother route with
instructions to spare neither himself nor
his horses in delivering at the earliest
possible moment the triply sealed letter
sewn in the lining Of his waistcoat This
the first time of the plot that was being
Matched against him. and ended with
these words: such wicked duplicity 1

AS soon as the news of Wilkinson's
babbling reached Washington he sternly
called Conway to account. Conway
rushed to Gates for aid and Gates, fussy.
inefficient, cowardly and old, tried to get
out of the difficulty by branding Wilkin-
son as a liar. Wilkinson promptly chal-
lenged Gates to duel, but Gates wept
on his shoulder, called himself feeble
old man and induced him TO withdraw the
challenge. There was a duel between
washington's friend. Gen. Cadwallader.
and Conway Cadwallader shot Conway
through the mouth. Conway, believing
himself dying, wrote Washington asking
forgiveness for his villainies. He did not
die. however, but left the army and re-

later in poverty and exile.

week a sensational fight over the sea In
the teeth of violent rainstorm. When
Lorraine started out on the flight to the
Isle of Wight from the Bournemouth
aerodrome there was a dense mist over
the sea- Great black clouds were hang
ing lower and lower and the wind was
blowing at something like twenty miles
an hour.
Every one advised Lorraine not to start.
Louis Bleriot, most experienced but most
prudent of "birdmen," said il would be
foolhardy to start, but Lorraine only
smiled, put on his spectacles, pulled his
levers, and in a moment was travelling at
forty miles an hour. his machine sway
ing and pitching in the teeth of the wind.
When he get out to sea he was overtaken
by a tremendous rainstorm, that weighed
down his planes and blinded him SO that
for a long time he could not tell in which
direction he was going.
AS matter of fact Lorraine was being
blown out to sea, but he never lost his
nerve One twitch OF a hand on the
levers and he was gone forever, for in
the dense mist 1t was impossible for any
one on a passing ship to see him fall.

in which the heroic figure Of the Earl Of
Stirling does not loom large through the
haze of history. Among these are the
hard fought fields OF Trenton. Brandy
wine, Germantown, Monmouth. Long Is
land and Paulus Hook. Again and again
the Earl of Stirling received the thanks
of Congress for his distinguished services.
He was member of the court OF In
quiry convened at Tappan in 1178 to con-
slider the case of Maj. Andre, the British
spy.
The Earl of Stirling died at Albany in
1888, in the fifty-seventh year of his age.
He was buried In the vault of his wife's
ancestors in the old Dutch Church in Al
bany, and when that was demolished his
cemetery. Gen. Washington wrote a
long letter of coincidence to Lady Stirling,
in which he said:
1T only remains. then. as a small but
ling to express how deeply / share the
common affliction on being deprived Of
the public and professional assistance.
as well as the private friendship of an
officer of so high rank, with whom I have
lived in the strictest habits of amity; and
how much those military merits of his
lordship, which rendered him respected
in his lifetime and now regretted by the
whole army. 1t will doubtless be a sooth-
ing consideration in the poignancy of your
grief to find that the general officers are
going into mourning for him."
The records that survive of the per-
sonality Of Lord Stirling show that the
dominant note in his character was the
passionate love of justice. His political
views were definite and distinct: his prin-
ciples lofty and answering; his char
acter generous, impulsive and fearless.
In personal appearance he was distinctly
impressive and had the most martial air
of any general in the army save Wash
ington himself. He was quick witted, in
telligent, farseeing and vociferous among
his troops. and his example was a per-
petual source OF strength and Inspiration
to them. His soldiers were wont to COM
pare boastfully his courtly dignity with
the brusque mannerisms of many foreign
generals.
Before the revolution broke out he
prosecuted and proved the claim to his
title with much difficulty and expense.

again and head for land. and. finally, to
drop In a selected spot in the Isle of
Wight, breaking only an unimportant
stay or two in his machine.
Now, Lorraine had never been In an
aeroplane until April last, and he only
got his pilots certificate, to prove him
competent to control a machine about a
week before he made the sensational
flight. He possesses a natural genius for
the sport, and 1t is believed that when he
gains a little more experience he will be
in the very first rank Of skillful flying
men.
The French aeroplanists, however. who
have been skilled in the use of machines
for at least two years, say that English
men are going too fast in this direction,
and that there will be many more fatal
accidents. The toll Of accidents In the
six-day meeting at Bournemouth was
terrifying. Here II is:
Tuesday-C s. Rolls killed instantane-
ously.
Thursday-Anthony Rawlinson badly in
jund.
Saturday-Alan Boyle badly injured.
Most of the men who are taking UP
living are youths who have driven rae
ing automobiles and are accustomed to
take risks. Although they may have some
aptitude for aviation. the intoxication of
rushing through space at forty or fifty
miles an hour is too much for them, and
they constantly are taking unnecessary
risks. Young fellows here are making
ascents in winds that would terrify even
experienced men like the Wrights.
This enthusiasm, however bad Ii may
be for life and limb. is excellent for the
business side of aviation, which is settling
down into a steady industry. Louis

is told how, at the execution of n soldier

Lord Stirling replied with warmth: Il

Whatever vanity Lord Stirling may have

unhestatingly sacrificed for the cause Of

wealth and influence, which were great.
