Lassoed the Negroes.
A City of Mexico special to the
New York Herald, says : By request
of the American Legation of tin's
capital Juan Lainedo, president of
the Tlahuilio Agricultural and Colo
nization Company, has made the first
complete statement of an official
nature regarding the troubles of his
company with the large shipments
of negroes made in Mexico from the
United States.
The declaration has beeu d i spate h
; ed to the Department of State.
Washington, and it is as follows:
"The initial shipment of negro
labor arrived in Tlahuilio about one
year ago and was composed of about
sixty colonists with their families
They proved themselves to be thor
%%' ough and expert cotton planters and
all around agricultural hands. Iu
justice to them it must be said that
they have proved themselves thor
oughly competent in their avocations,
? and are the only ones that remain on
the plantation since the exodus be
ga:: a few weeks since.
' The first batch of colonists was
brought in through the instrumen
tality of Mr. Ellis, a colored man
holding a concession from the Mexi
can government for the introduction
of two thousand negroes from the
United States, and it was under the
provisions of this grant that the
blacks were taken to Tlahuilio. The
result was \hat instead of acquiring
skilled cotton planters, as was the
case with respect to the first con
signment, bootblacks and others un
O ' 'mm
desirable were shipped by the whole
sale to the plantation, which, as was
natural, was not a very prosperous
occupation for them
"Coupled with this fact the source
of real trouble made its appearance
in the form of a disease that caused
an enlagement of the knee among
the negroes, the maladv invariably !
resulting fatally. Instigated as by
. one mind, fifty settlers signified , their ;
intention to return to their Southern j
homes in the United States, and !
nothing would deter them. The!
district where they were colonized 1
was at a considerable distance from j
the railrod, there being no interme- j
diate villages
Instead of striking out to the j
north, they headed for the west, j
which is entirely void of vegetation
and every semblance of civilization
?a desert, as it were The result
was that before Mr. Fargu3, the ad
ministrator, could proceed to their
rescue, amply supplied with provis
ions and water, four had perished
from starvation
"This band of fleeing negroes was j
overhauled by Mr. Fargus and five
mounted Mozos, who were heavily
armed, after days of travelling. The
negroes, thinking that Mr. Fargue
had overtaken them for the purpose
of compelling them to return to the
plantation, assailed the parry of res
coers with Knives
"The attack was finally brought to j
a finish through the Mozos lossoing a !
number of the colonists, a proceeding
that seemingly had the effect of fill- j
ins: them with awe The negroes ?
were thereupon brought back to the i
plantation, instructed as to the points j
of the compass and allowed to de- ;
part, well provided with rations and
water
"Then followed a series of incon- i
veniences and drawbacks that ere- ;
ated discord among the remainder of j
the colonists, m?ny of whom fol
lowed the footsteps of the first baud, ;
"The experiment has cost the com
pany ?500,000, and unless the cot- !
ton they planted, covering an area of ]
65,000 acres, can be successfully pick- j
ed, the concern will lose a large sum
The negroes will be shipped back to ?
their homes in the United States a*
the expense of the company.'''
Sam Lewis Lynched.

A Force Expected to Descend

I Chicago, Aug. 18 ?It is believed
I the colored meD of this city ^e making
? secret preparations to send . an armed
' body of meo to Spriog Valley, Ills., to
j force a fight with the Italians there io
; retaliati?? for their outburst against
the oegro mioers two weeks ago.
It was learned yesterday by the po
: lice that a colored inan. whose name is
: supposed to be Robinson, has beeo
I canvassing the pawnshops in this city
! and has bought over 100 revolvers.
; Ooe firm of money lenders reported to
j the police that they had sold seveo re
i vol vers to a colored man. The descrip

! that io the hands of the officers. De
I teetives have been detailed cn the ,
? case, it is said the colored people ;
I have become disgusted with the public ;
i meetings, because their plaus have al
? ways miscarried, therefore they have j
j decided fo meet in secret. A number j
? of meo are to be armed and smuggled !
: ioto Spriog Valley to be io readiness
for duty at a moment's notice. Tee
discovery of the plot has caused con- i
siderable agitation in police circles.
At a meeting of the advisory board of !
I the American Protective Association of |

j ed denouncing the mayor of Spring j
j Valley as cowardly, disloyal and uo-j
j American for not using his authority ;

I demand that the loss sustained by the
negroes be repaired. Sheriff Clerk, of;
' Spring Valley was assured that the

Exposition Notes.
\ Mr. Alexander W. Smith, chief of
the Department of Public Comfort, has
arranged with the Pullmao Sleeping,
Oar Company for three hundred sleep- j
ing care, to be parked on the railroad :
sidings in and about Atlanta, and has i
arranged with the city for the necessary
sanitary service. These sleeping cars j
will accommodate between 7.000 and
8,000 people, and the berths will be
rented for ?1 per night. Mr Smith
bas secured from the Southern Railway,
sidings enough to accommodate ooe- ?
third of these care, and expects to place
the rest with the other roads.
The listing of rooms by the Public
Comfort Department is very satisfactory, ;
and iuctudes apartments in many of the
handsome residences in the City. Pub
lic spirit bae been appealed to, as it I
was in Philadelphia, duriog the Cen- j
tennial, aod the disposition of the people j
of Atlanta is such as to make this feature !
more thorough than it has ever been
at any great Exposition.
Clemson College.
The statements contained in the let- '
ter of the correspondent of The Srate,
about Clemson College, are not to he
brushed aside by the resolutions of the
junior class. The complaint.- of the .
management of the institution are such
as to affect, not only its standing among
colleges of its own kind, but its repu
tation amonng the people of South Caro
lina. The complaints made against the :
maoagemeot are specific. They relate
to matters intimately affecting
the interests of the institution.
They can be met by evidence
within easy reach of the board
of trustees. There should, therefore,
be an early and exhaustive investiga
tion The iuquiry, having for its sin
gle object :he ascertainment of facts, ;
should be conducted in the manner best,
calculated to bring out the whole truth, j
Aod the sooner the board of trus- ;
tees shall act, the beoer for the reputa
tion and success of the institution.
Charges made by a perfectly trust
worthy party cannot, with sr.fety to the
interests of the college, be flippantly
brushed aside The students?or some
of them?may say what they please.
Their action indeed settles nothing
The trustees must act
It is the wish of ail the people of
South Carolina to accord to Clemson
College the amnlest opportunity to
show thac the scheme of education
there employed a good out1 T'iere
wrre. groat proales male for the :;;?!
lege. The Legislature, relying upon
the<e assurances, has responded with
the- greatest liberality to every re
quest lor an appropriation. Men y ba
been spent freely?almost lavishly.
There has been no complaint, of the,
action of the Legislature in re
spect. ihere is none now. 'fhetiesire
of the people evidently is to grve the
institution every facility for the accom
plishment of the result;- that its friends
anJ promoters have promised. This
being the feeling ?? ih:' 'axpaycr-i who
sustain the college, they certainly hive
the right to expect good management
of its affairs Especially have they the
right to expect the highes' attainable
efficiency in the president and the pro
fessors.
The Clemson trustees should act at
once. -Tir S'utt

Blown Up and Burned.
A Hotel in Denver Blown up
and Twenty-Five Per
sons Perish.
Denver, Coi , Aug. 19?Probab?y
25 men, womeo and children perished
by an explosion of the boiler in the
Gumry Hotel od Lawrence street,
shortly after midoight this morning.
Half a dozen others are injured and at
the hospital. Eight burned and crush
ed bodies are at the morgue Ten more
were known to be burned in the ruins, ?
but 15 persons are missing altogether.
With deafening sound and terrific
force, the entire rear portion of the
building was demolished. The rear and
side walls crumbled lik? a toy house.
oon afterwards, the mass of timbers, ;
brick and furniture caught fire, ore- |
mating many of the victims who lay '
pinioned and helpless amid the burn
ing pile. Their piteous appeals for .
h lep could no: be "responded to be-'
cause of the flame. The latest informa
tion regarding the catastrophe is that a
seventeen-year-old boy. Elmar Piere?, 1
who was temporarily pincei in charge
of the boiler, was respooisble for the
explosion. With the boiler at almost
white heat, he let water iu, causing an
immediate explosion. Fie escaped un
injured and to-night was being hunted
by angry people.
Few people other than firemen, che j
hastily summoned rescue corps and po- ;
lieernen remained near the scene to
witness the recovery of t!ie horribly ,
burned and distorted bodies. E
Lstson, who was the first live man :
taken from the ruius, slept on the third ;
floor, was encased in a conical mass of:
mortar and bricks that barely allowed !
freedom of modernen*. Chief Riberts !
of the fire department, first discovered :
bim and rapidly began the removal of ?
the fns of material that seemed to i
rest directly upon his body. In heart
rending anneals he begged for some- ?
thing io end his life The rescuers
worked with a will and in two hours
had succeeded in removing enough plas- .
t?r and bricks froci the apppareotly
lifeless body to allow his removal. His
lower limbs are crushed, but he will j
survive his terrible ordeal.
Excitement in the city to-night is at
a high pitch. Throogs of people crowd
poiice headquarters and the morgue to
search for missing friends.
Ropes were stretched around the
scene of the disaster, but they and
extra police failed to keep back the
excited friends of missing people, and
thousands of curious bystanders. There
is much conjecture to-night, concern
ing the caase of the accident, but j
Coroner Martin is firmly convinced !
that it was caused as stated. The |
hasti'y organized surgeon's corps un- j
der Police Surgeon Jarecki did :
noble work. With fifty feet of brick |
wall tottering over their heads, they ?
wended their way early along corri- |
dors, down stairways, by shaky par :
titions, to aid the injured. Medicine |
was passed from one to another along
a line, and while Mr L?tson was be- i
ing rescued, his head was swathed in !
damp bandages and stimulants ad- !
ministered. About C o'clock this even*
ing a severe wind storm came upon .
the city, and work was extremely .
hazardous with the weakened walls.
To add to the confusion and dismal
scene, rain began falling! in torrents,
and what few workers who were nor
drenched by the streams of rhe fire
engines were wet by the cold rain. :
At S o'clock the rain had ceased fall
ing, but. the clouds of stifling smoke
continued to arise from the mass of.
wreckage, and more engines were ?
called. Their services were not need
ed, however, as. the wind died away
The boy who was in charge of the .
boiler at the time of the accident had
attended a picnic during the day and
was nnder influence of liquor when ho
went on duty, as several reliable per
sons have testified. How be ever
managed to turn the injector cock
and escape without injury is a mys
tery. The boilers are said to have
been in excellent condition.
The terrible destruction wrought by
the explosion is evidenced everywhere
within three blocks of the scene. Stores
in the neighborhood hare their fronts
demolished or windows damaged. On
Marion street, in the rear of the build
ing, there is not a whole plato glass
for a block, and Lawrence street, in
front of the hotel *hows the same effect
of the explosion. An estimate of the
financial *-.? is difficult, as the insur
ance papers were lost in the fir*.;, bu?
the loss wiil hardly exceed S75.0?O.
The hotel was worth about ?25.000 and
furnishings ?10,000. Everything is de
stro cd. The building w;:* a ?vc-sforv
one. erected iti IS SS by Mr. Gumry.
The McMann block, which *cjo; ss the
he re?, was aiso heavily damaged, if
was occupied as a furniture store

street, was also damaged about SI,

The boiler hea l, which wrough, so
much destruction to life and property,
after crashing through the rear wall
crosse '?. ten foot alloy and struck a 1
brick bam with sufficient force to do
st?-oy it.
Es-Goverr.or Rout! said t o da : lln
i.-iv opinion the explosion was caused by '
dynamite, instead o? by the boiler.
1 think :t was doue to kill Mr
Gumry. Vou know he is superintend
ent of construction at rh< capi-ol build- >
tog and lately discharged a number ot
men These meo have ber:, heard to
threaten hie lift;. I do out think a
boiler explosion could bave wrecked the
building in the maouer it did."
Ex-Governor Routt is correct in his
statement regarding the discharge, but
his suspicions are oot given credenoe
by the authorities.
Dispensers Suspected.
Pinkertons and Special Con
stables in Charleston.
Special to The State.
Charleston, Aug 19 ?There is
something about to drop iti dispen
sary circles. It was learned to-day
?rom most trustworthy sources that
several special constables and lout
detectives have arrived liete and will
immediately set about to make their
presence felt. The object of their
mission is, of course, kept secret and
nothing definito can be learned.
. Rumor has it that the constables are
here for the purpose of watching the ;
dispensers and probably the regular1
constable force. It has been ru- |
mored here for several months that :
the dispensers were violating the law
by selling to minors and habitual <
drinkers. They have b??n keeping
open alter hours and even dispensing
liquors on Sundays. They have al
ways been particular, however, to |
whom they sold liquor when violating :
the law
It is surmised that the Pinkertons
are here to watch alleged blind tigers :
and, if possible, to get evidence
upon which to send them to the |
penitentiary upon contempt proceed
ings, as Governor Evans has threat
ened. The result of the arrival of
these officers is anxiously awaited.
COURSE OF COTTON.

declined to day and at the opening
our market was lower, October sell- ;
Ing on the call at 7.29. Though
further scattering rains were reported I
from Texas, the crop advices gene
rally were not satisfactory and
prices soon improved. October rai- j
lied to 7 36 Some realizing sales j
and a spell of dullness in the after- j
noon caused a reaction of a few I
points. The close was quiet at 7.33 |
to 7 34. The lightness of the re-1
ceipts begins to attract a good deal
of attention and many believe that the
September receipts will make a worse
showing relatively than those of
August. If this anticipation should
be realized, there may be lively times
in cotton next month.
A GENERAL REDUCTION.
What the Commission May Grant
on Cotton and Fertilizer Rates.
On September -i the State rail- !
road commission is to meet in this :
city for the purpose of readjusting
the freight rates on fertilizers, cotton :
seed meal and cotton, and the indi- ;
cations are that there is to be a gen
eral reduction of rates all along the :
line The matter of securing a re- .
duction on these articles was agit?t- j
ed to a great extent last spring, but |
after hearing full argument on both !
sides the commission decided to de
lay action. .Sime? time ago notice
was sent to the several roads that
action would be taken at the Septem
ber meeting. It seems certain that
the reductions will be grated, so par
ties who should know say?Tint

The news from Europe relative to
the voting Tsar is curious?that he
will give up the throne of Russia
and his mother will rule in his stead.
The story is that he is too effeminate, :
too weak to govern. The London
Chronicle publishes all this and more
The Tsars wife, the Tsarina, is dis
appointing, lacking strength of char
acter, such as to influence the Em
peror. So in this view the marriage
of Nicholas i I. and Princess Alix of 1
liesse is a failure. It was thought ?
that she had the qualities of a ruler,
and through her weak husband would 1
control, would rule Russia But, lo ! (
it is now said that both are lacking
in the governing qualities and the
mother will take the reins It may
turn out, however; t?) be a false re- '

THE TERRIBLE EMPTY
PISTOL.
Tunkhaxxock, Pa., Aug. 19.?The
wild west craze has cost the life of
another boy. A number of boys
were playing at killing Indians this
morning in Mehoopany township,
and nine-year-old Lenford Love was
a red-skin, and twelve-year-old Fred
Doty was a cow boy. According to
all established rule of boyhood fight ?
ing the young "red skin" was to die
by the hand of the cowboy and Doty
placed a supposedly empty revolver
to the mouth of little Love and pull
ed the trigger. Unknown to the
boys the revolver was loaded and the
bullet passed through the child's
neck, severing the spinal cord and
instantly killing hirn.
it is pleasant to know that the borse :
is trotting back into popularity. Peo- :
pie who were weaned away from the
noble animal by the love of the bicycle
or the fear of the electric cars are find
ing that the horse is better than the
one and superior to the dangers of the
other. And so we find the prices of
horses increasing, and this increase is
sure to continue. There is nothing
that can take the horse's nlace.
If this government is to be hold
responsible for the safrcy of missionaries j
in China, it might possibly be a good
idea for the war department to make
arrangements for the planting of a
gatiiug gun squad at every mission sta
tion, with the purpose of back i tig up
