New York, N. Y. = Upon com.
plant Of Booker T. Washington, the
negro educator, man was locked up
by the police charged with assault
upon him. The latter received so
severe blow on his head from club
that he was at the Flower hospital
for over an hour having the wound
dressed.
The trouble occurred in front of
Sixty-third street house at which
Washington called about 10 o'clock
to see a friend, but no one answered
his repeated calls on the door bell.
Thinking that the man he wished
to see might appear any moment,
Washington walked up and down the
vicinity for more than half an hour,
when his wait was interrupted by
man having the appearance of a jan
itor who emerged with big club in
his hand, according to the complaint,
and struck him. Washington said he
returned the blow with his fist and
held the man until the police arrived.
The janitor acted, according to DR..

rich.
UIrich told the police that he came
up from the basement With his club
when his wife complained that 2 ne
gro had been hanging around the hall
way, acting suspiciously. He walked
up to the man and asked him what he
wanted.
No answer being given promptly, he
grabbed the negro, ignorant that he
was attacking the prominent educator.
In the mixup which followed, Ulrich
welded his club and received the re-
turn blow which Washington admitted
he struck.
At the police station Washington
at first made no admission of his own
identity and when he was forced to do
so the officers at the station house
were at first loath to believe him. Ul-
rich demanded the colored mans ar
rest, and it was not until Washington
had proved his identity by cards and
letters and full explanation of his
presence in New York that the dis
tinguished educator was allowed to go.
Washington came to New York to
meet the auditor of Tuskogee Insti-
tute, of which he is president.

THE PRICE OF PROGRESS.

The historic reluctance Of Oriental
races to indulge in reforms is little I'M
derstood, but time and experience Will
explain. These races are old in exper'
lence and in wisdom. Therefore, they
are always apprehensive of the ulti-
mate ends to which any reform will
reach, says the Detroit News. Japan
has modernized rapidly. It enjoys the
benefits Of a very improved form OF
government Out of this change de-
velops a gradual rise in the status OF
the masses and one of the conse-
uuences is a discomfort. Alexander IL.
of Russia emancipated 100000 serfs
in the spring of 1861, after giving all
landowners and serf masters three
years notice to prepare for the event
and setting his own serfs free as an
example. In 1881 the sons and daug1-
tiers Of the emancipated serfs, having
enjoyed the benefit of education and
thereby discovered the wrongs OF the
past and the expressions to which the
Door were still subject at the hands OF
Che mobiles and great land owners, ex-
pressed their discomfort By killing the
emperor who had lifted them to the
status Of free men and women. Rus.
alan discomfort was fomented by MI
shael BSkounin, the founder of terror
ssm In Russia Japan has her BakoUn-
I'm in Denjiro Kotoku, publicist Of dis
content. Recently a band of &c con-
spirators were arrested upon the
charge of plotting against the life OF
the emperor, and IL of them have al.
ready been executed. These terrible
plumbers seem to be unavoidable con.
sequences of a change in the status of
the people of any nation, but only the
superficial observer could condemn all
attempts at progress because, in gov.
ernments as in railroading, they IN.
volve a certain element OF danger.

$500 JOIN EXPRESS STRIKE
Labor Officials in New York Threaten
to Extend Order to All
Transfers.

New York-Employes of the United

panies, numbering $500 persons, Fri
day, joined the striking forces OF the
Adams Express company, making
5000 who are now out. Employees Of
the National and American companies
stuck to their posts despite threats
and entreaties of a union official.
Mayor Gaynor was astounded when
he learned that his peace proposals,
accepted by the men Thursday, had
been overridden by the Jersey City
men at a midnight conference.
Many drivers ordered out in the
sympathetic strike were largely dis
satisfied with the turn of affairs.
Should the general teamsters' walk
out be ordered, as threatened, labor
men say it would be the greatest
strike called in this section.

IN UNDER BUILDINGS ocCU-
PIED BY DIAZ TROOPS.
MEXICO TO SHOW NO MERCY
Lenieney for Insurrectos Is at an End
Citizens of United States, Held In
Jails, Are Assured Civil Trials
for Sedition.

Ell Paso, Tex.-Two heavy charges
Of nitro-glycerin were exploded under
the barracks occupied by Mexican
troops Wednesday night at Juarez,
Mexico, and the buildings occupied by
the soldiers were badly damaged.
The attempt to blow up the barracks
is attributed to revolutionists.
Two of a small band of insurrectos
who secretly had entered the town
were wounded and captured.
Assurance of the safety of all
Americans now confined in Mexican
prisons is given in an official state
ment issued at Juarez.
Americans now prisoners will be
given trials in the civil courts on
charges of sedition against the Next
can government, but hereafter all in
surrectos, whether citizens of the
United States or not, may be subject
to the death penalty under summary
military procedure.
The statement from the Mexican
officials was issued relative to the
seventeen foreigners now imprisoned
in the federal Jail at Casas Grandes.
Fifteen of them are Americans. Pend
ing their trials they will be given the
consideration due to prisoners of war.
Colonel Cuellar, in command at Casas
Grandes, is suffering from wounds,
and as soon as he is able to move,
the prisoners will be marched ITO
miles to Chihuahua to face the civil
courts.
The two other foreigners are Euro
pean soldiers of fortune" who have
fought in Central American revolu-
tons.
Colonel Manuel Tamborel, military
commander at JuareZ, said:
1.-THE Americans have not been shot
and will not be. Colonel Cuellar has
so reported to us here and to Mexico
City. It Is the intention to give the
men fair trial. This does not mean,
however, the same consideration will
be given to foreigners hereafter cap
tured."
Colonel Tamborel at first said he
had been advised that forty foreigners
had been captured, but later said the
report was incorrect. He said he had
not received the names of the Amer
leans.
1t is said the citizens of the United
States now fighting in the insurrecto
ranks number 600. The largest force
is with Capt. Oscar G. Creighton, who
has been active in blowing up rail
road bridges. Government officials
received orders to put stop to the
crossing of Americans from Ell Paso
into the insurgent territory.
New York.-The sudden departure
