FRENCH SAILORS IN
 BLACK SEA MuTINY
Red Flag JnfurIcd While RcvoIu- tionaIy National Anthem is
 Played.

Iarls, June 14.-An account of the mutlny of seamen of the French Black sea fleet at Odessa in April was given in the chamber of depu- ties last night by Deputy Emile Goude socialist
 A red flag was run up on the bat tleship France A young officer ordered machine gun fired against FTench soldiers and sailors fraterniz- ing with the Russians and several persons were killed and wounded. After negOtiations the demands of the sailors were met and it was agreed that they should not be punished.
 The trouble started when from bat tleship France arose the strains of the international revolutionary hymn. The captain discussed the matter with the sailors one of whom said:
 The war We arc being forced to make against the Russians is mcon- stitutional."
 Deputy GOude concluded his ac- count as follows.
 "The tricolor never was lowered It was a true revolutionary movement in the highest and purest sense of the word. The sailors, sons of the great French revolution remember their regulation measures beyond which French sailors and marines cannot be emplOye ed
 After four days of negotiations the admiral granted the demands of the delegates that the ships should return to France and that no punish ment should be eXacted from the men after their return.

Paris, June 13.-During debate in the chamber of deputies on the mutiny of seamen of the French Black sea fleet, Marcel Cachin, socialist deputy, said that Admiral kolchaks army might be compared to the forces which operated against the French revolution and he ex- pressed aStOniShment that the AL lies should recognize Kolchak just at a time when he is being beaten ' Georges Leygues, minister of marine, reviewing incidents of the meeting said that officers of all the vessels re- fused to barley with the men until the red flag was hauled down. The commander of the battleship Jean Bart who was arrested by his men said, according to the minister:
 Boys look out You are in a state of rebellion. I will haul down that red flag or you shall strike me down at your feet'
 The sailors themselves tore up the red flag and handed him the shreds saying:
 keep them in witness of our resolution to become orderly again"

IMPRACTICAL

Ocala Star: The demand OF organ
lied labor that the railroads be hand
ed over to tripartite composed OF
the public, the operating management
and the employees is impractical
revolutionary and incendiary. History
shows that several triumvirates have
been tried in public affairs, but ne
trio yet has failed to be whitfield down
to a solo in a brief time. Anything
of the sort is bound to wind up in
fight, and if we are going to have
fight we had better have It right
now, while other people are too busy
to interfere.

Under the above caption, the New
York Tribune reproduces an editorial
which appeared in the Wilmington
IN. c. Dispatch, answering and con.
troverting the supposed logic used in
an editorial in the New York World,
on the race riot at Washington.
The World said, among much more
of the like tenor, "the response of the
black man to the white man was
bound to come some time" and again
who is so foolish as to believe that
these blacks whose manhood and pa
triotism had been tested and recog-
nized, are to be forever logged,
Ilynched, burned, or chased into con-
cealment wherever Caucasian desper-
ADDE'S are moved to engage in these
infamous pastimes?' 'In all the
world there is hardly population
as God-forsaken and law-forsaken as
our own blacks"
Then Editor Frank Clark, who for
a long time was judge of the super.
ior court of North Carolina, and who
resigned his high position to enter the
still higher one of daily newspaper
journalism, said:
"Lincolns proclamation of enamel
patton was fully effective in Washing.

and it is known of all men that from
that day, now more than fifty-siX
years gone, to the present outbreak
the large and ever-increasing negro
population of the District of Columbia
has enjoyed full equality of civil
rights with the white race-not theo
Iretical only but in literal fact. There
has been no pretence of race segrega
ton; absolute equality of right and
privilege has been frankly recognized
and vigorously enforced. For exact
ly three-fourths of the fifty-six year
period the Republican party, the pc
llitical guardian and tutor of the col
ored race, has been in executive con
troll Of the government, and there has
been no allegation that the civil
rights of Washington negroes sui

has been customary to speak Of
Washington as the negro heaven
and as the place where "a white mar

Spokane, July 4.--With a hundred
special policemen sworn in, fully
armed and ready for any emergency,
Spokane authorities tensely waited
for the much advertised I. W. W.
parade, to be followed by a picnic
in one of the parks. Police Com
missioner Tilsey promised that no
arrests would be made if the parade
and picnic were orderly. Carrying of
red flags were forbidden anu speak
ing at the park was also banned.
Thousands of lum mberjacks poured
into the city during the last few
days, it being necessary in some cases
for the railroads to put on extra
coaches to handle t~cm. The wobbly
parade was scheduled to start at IL
o'clock, concurrently with the start
of the city's Fourth of July parade
In the latter parade there was two
companies of state troops. The city
officials made an effort to get per-
mission to use them in case of a riot,
but failed.

THAT ALL MAY KNOW
Declaration of independence

He is at this time transporting
large armies of foreign merccnar-
les to complete the works of death,
desolation and tyranny, already
begun with circumstances of cruel
ty and pcrfidy scarcely parallcled
in the most barbarous ages, and
totally unworthy the head of Il
civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow
citizens, taken captive on the high
seas, to bear arms against their
country, to become the execution
ers of their friends and brethren,
Or to fall themselves by their
hands.
He has excited domestic insur-
rection among us, and has endea-
vored to bring on the inhabitants
of our frontiers the merciless In
dian savages, whose known rule OF
warfare is an indistinguished de-
struction of all ages, sexes and
conditions.
In every stage of these Opprcs-
sions we have petitioncd for re-
dress in the most humble terms;
our repeated petitions have been
answered only by repeated injury.
A prince whose character is thus
marked by every act which may
define a tyrant, is unfit to be the
ruler of free people.
Nor have we been wanting III
our attentions to our BRUSH
brethren. We have warned them,
from time to time, of attempts by
their legislature to extend an un-
warranted jurisdiction over us.
We have reminded them of the
circumstances of our emigration
and settlement here. We have ap-
pealed to their native justice and
magnanmity; and we have con
jured them, by the ties of our
common kindred, to disavow these
usurpations, which would inevi
tably corrupt our connections and
correspondence. They, too, have
been deaf to the voice of justice
and consanguinity. We must,
therefore, acquiesce in the neces-
sity which denounces our separa-
ton, and hold them, as we hold
the rest of mankind, enemies in
war, in peace friends.
We, therefore, the representa-
tves of the United States of Amer
lea, in general congress assembled,
appealing to the Supreme Judge
of the world for the rectitude Of
our intentions, do, in the name
and by the authority of the good
people of these colonies. solemnly
publish and declare, That these
united colonies are, and of right
ought to be free and independent
states; that they are absOlved from
all allegiance to the British crown,
and that all political connection
between them and the state Of
Great Britain is and ought to be,
totally dissolved; and that as free
and independent states, they have
full power to levy war, conclude
peace, contract alliances, establish
commerce, and do all other acts
and things which independent
states may of right do. And, for
the support of this declaration,
with firm reliance on the pro-
lection of Divine Providence, we
mutually pledge to each other our
lives, our fortunes, and our sacred
honor.

When, in the course of human
events, it becomes necessary for
one people to dissolve the political
with another, and to assume,
among the powers of the earth,
their safety and happiness. Pru-
which the laws of nature and of
natures God entitle them, a de-
cent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should
declare the causes which impel
them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self
evident-That all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalien-
able rights; that among these are
life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness. That, to secure these
rights, governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the
governed; that, whenever any form
of government becomes destruC-
tive of these ends, it is the right
of the people to alter or to abolish

ment, laying its foundation on
such principles, and organizing it's
powers i'll such form, as to them
shall seem most likely to effect
their safety and happiness. Prud-
dence, indeed, will dictate, that
governments long established
should not be changed for light
and transient causes; and accord
ingly all experience hath shown
that mankind are more disposed
to suffer while evils are suffer-
able, than to right themselves by
abolishing the forms to which
they are accustomed. But when
long train of abuses and usur-
pations, pursuing invariably the
same object, evinccs a design to re-
duce them under absolute lcspot-
ism, it is their right, it is their
duty, to throw off such goyern-
ment, and to provide new guards
for their future security. Such has
been the patient sufferance of
these colonies; and such is now
the necessity which constrains
them to alter their former systems

present king of Great Britain is a
history Of repeated injuries and
suurpations, all having in direct
object the esta blishment of an alb
solute tyranny over these states.
To prove this, let facts be submit
ted to a candid world.
He has refused his assent to
laws most wholesome and neces-
sary for the public good.
He has forbidden his governors
to pass laws of immediate and
pressing Importance, unless sus-
pended in their operation till his
assent should be obtained; and
when so suspended, he has utter
~ neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other
laws for the accommodation of
large districts of people, unless
those people would relinquish the
right of representation in the leg
islature--a right inestimable to
them, and formidable to tyrants
only.
He has called together legisla-
tive bodies at places unusual, un-
comfortable, and distant from the
depository of their public records,
for the sole purpose of fatiguing
them into compliance with his
measure.
