Text: “Man did oat angels’ food."—
Psalms Ixxviil., 25.
Somewhat risky would bo the undertaking
to toll just what was the manna that foil to
the Israelites in the wilderness, of what it
was made and who made it. The manna
was ealled angels’ food, but why so called?
Was it because it came from the place where
Angels live, or because angels compounded
it, or because angels did eat it, or because
it was good enough for angels? On what
crystal platter was it carried to the door of
heaven and then thrown out? How did it
taste? Wo arc told there was in it something
like honey, but if tho saccharine tasto in it
had been too strong many would not have
liked it. and so it may have had a commin
gling of flavors, this delicacy of tho skies. It
must have been nutritious, fora Nation lived
on it for forty years. It must have been
healthful, for It is so inspiringly applauded.
It must ha vo been abundant, bo can bo it dis
missed tho necessity of a sutler for a great
army.
Each person had a ration of three quarts
a day allowed to him. and so 15,000 pounds
wore necessary every week. Those wore the
times of which my text speaks, when “mnn
did eat angels’ food.” If tho good Lord,
who has helped mo so often, will help mo
now, I will 11 rat toll you what is angels’
food, and then how we may got some of it
for ourselves. In our moral state we must
have for mastication and digestion and
assimilation tho products of the earth.
Corporeity, as well as mentality and
spirituality, ebaracterir.es us. The stylo of
diet lias much to do with our well being.
Light and frothy food taken exclusively re
sults in weak mtiMlo and semi-individualism.
The taking of too much animal food produces
sensuality. Vegetarians are cranks. Reason
able selection of the farinaceous and the
solid ordinarily produces, physical stamina.
But wo have all oboasionnlly been in an
ecstatic state where wo forgot tho necessity
of earthly food. We were fed by joys, by
anticipations, by discoveries, by companion
ships that (lwiudled the dining hour into
insignificance and made the pleasures of the
t ah I <F stupid and uninviting. There have
been cases whore from seemingly in visible

Tex. when I». says, ‘ "SLUE aft! oat angels*
They (‘xperienco none of the demands of cor*
poriety and have no hindrance or environ
ment in the shape of bone and muscle and
lies!), and hence that which may deleotate
our palate or invigorate our poor, dying
frames would be of no use to them. But
they have a food of their own. My text says
so. There may bo other courses of food in
tho heavenly menu that I am not aware
of, but I know of live or six styles of
food always on celestial tables when cheru
bim and seraphim and archangel gathor for
heavenly repast—the mystery of redemption,
eolealiuHzod music, the heavenly picturesque,
sublime colloquy, eternal enterprises, saintly
association, divine companionship, colebra-
tlvo Jubilance. There is one subject that ex
cites the curiosity and inquisitiveness of all
tboso angels. St. Peter says, “Which
thing the angels dosin' to look, into"—that
is, why did Christ exchange a 'palace for a
bam? Why did He drop a scepter from
His right hand to take a spear
into His left side? Why quit tho
anthem of the worshiping heavens to hear
the crooning of a weary mother’s voice? Was
h straw better than a garland? “Could it not
have been done in some other way?" says
augel the first. “Was tho human race worth
such a sacrifice?" says angel the second.
“How could heaven get along without Him
for thirty-three years?" says angel the third.
“Through that assassination may sinful man
rise into our eternal companionship," says
angel the fourth.
Sculpture will halt this side (he grave be
cause it chiefly commemorates the forms of
those who in heaven will be reconstructed,
and what would w* want of tho sculptured
imitation when we stand in the presence Of the
resurrected original? Painting will halt this
side the grave because the colors of earth
would be too tame for heaven, and what use
to have pictured on canvas the scenes which
shall bo described to us by those who were
the partloipants? One of the disciples will
tell us about the “Last Supper” better than
Titian with mighty touoh set up in art gallery.
The plainest saint by tongue will describe the
“Last Judgment” better than Michael Angelo
with his pencil put it upon the celling of the
Vatican. Architecture will halt this side tie?

chief cause of their salvation. Ob, I would
like to be present wh*.i all the great Chris
tian singers and the great Christian players
of all the ages shaM r i.ogregate in heaven.
Of course they must, like all the rest of us.
be cleansed and ransomed by the blood of
the slain Lamb. Ala*, that some of the
great artists of sweet sound have been as
distinguished for profligacy as for the way
they warbled or sang or fingered the key
board or trod the organ pedal. Some
who have been distinguished bassos and so
pranos and prima donnas on earth, I feel will
never sing the song of Moses and the Lamb,
or put the lips to the trumpet with sound® of
victory before the throng. Bat many of the
masters who charmed us on earth will more
mightily charm us in heaven. Great
music hail of eternity! May you and I
be there some duy to acclaim when the
“Halleluiah Chorus” is awakened A-
on earth there have lx?en harmonies
made up of other harmonies, a strain of
music from this cantata, and a strain of
music from that overture and a bar from this
and a bar from that, but one great tune or
theme, into which all the others were poured
as rivers into a sea, so it may be given to the
mightiest soul in the heavenly world to
gather something from all the sacred song3
we have sung on earth, or which have been
sung in all the agee, and roll them on in
eternal symphony, but tho one great theme
and the one overmastering tone that
shall carry all before it and uplift all heaven
from central throne to farthest gate of pearl
and to highest capstone of amethyst will bo.
“Unto Him who loved us and washed us
from our sins in His own blood, and mode
us kings and priests unto God and the Lamb,
to Him be glory!" That will bo manna
enough for all heaven to feed on. That will
be a banquet for immortals. That will be
angels’ food.
Now, in the emerald palace of heaven, lot
the cupbearers and servants of the King re
move this course from tho banquet and bring
on another course of angels’ food, which is
laying out of mighty enterprise. The Bible
lets us know positively that tho angels have
our world’s affairs on their hearts. They af
ford the rapid transit from world to world.
Ministering spirits, osoorting spirits, defend
ing spirit*, guardiau spirits—yon, they have
all worlds on their thought, wo aro told
they sang together at the creation,and that im
plied not only tho creation of our world, but
of other worlds. Shall they plan only for
our little planet and bo unconcerned for a
planet 300 times larger? No. They have all
the galaxies under tlioir observation. Mighty
schemes of helpfulness to bo laid out and
executed, shipwrecked worlds to be towed in,
planetary fires to bo put out, demoniac
hosts riding up to be hurled back and down.
These angels of light unhorse an Apollyon
with one stroke of battloax celestial. They
talk these matters all over. They bend toward
each other in sublime colloquy. They havo
cabinet meetings of winged immortals. They
assemble the mightiest of them in holy con
sultation. They plan out stollar, lunar, solar,
constellated achievement. They vie with
each other as to who shall do tho grandest
thing for the eternals. They compose doxol-
ogies for the temple of the sun. They pre
side over coronation*. If in the great organ
of the universe one key gets out of tune, they
plan for its retiming. No undertaking is so
difficult, no post of duty is so distant, no
mission is so stupendous but at God’s com
mand they are gladly obtained.
When they sit together in heaven’s places,
Gabriel and Michael, the archangel, and the
angel that pointed llagar to tho fountain in
tho desert, and the angel that swung open
the prison door of delivered Peter, and the
angels who ran to tho ro be the reapers at
the end of the world, and tho angel that
stood by Paul to encourage him on tho
foundering oornship of Alexandria, an l tho
two angels that sentineled the tomb of
(’hirst, and tho four angels that St. John saw
in Apocalypse at the four corners of the earth,
and the twelve angels that guard the twelve
swinging pearls, and the 20,003 char
ioted angels that the psalmist de
scribed. and more radiant than all of
them put together, and mightier than all. and
lovelier thah all, •’The Angel of tlie Coven
ant,” tho cadences of His voice, the best
music that ever entranced mortal or immor
tal ears. His smile another noon risen on mid-
noon, His presence onough to make a heaven
if there were no other attraction—l say, when
they meet together in the council chambers
close to the throne—Ah, that will bo regale
ment infinite. That will l>o angola* food.
And one of my exciting anticipations
of heavon la the prospect of seeing
and talking with some of them.
Why not? What did they come out for on
the balcony on that Christmas night and sing
for our world, if they did not want to bo put
in communication with us? 1 know tho ser
enade was in Greek, but they knew that their
words would bo translated in all languages,
j If they thought themselves too good to have
anything to do with us. would they have
dropped Christmas carols upon the shep-
hords, as bad as any of us have ever been?
Aye! If they sang for mortals, will they not
sing for us when wo become immortals?
Now, in the emerald palace of heaven, let
tho cupbearers and servants of the King re
move this course from tho banauet and bring
on another course of angels’ rood—the last
course and the best, the dessert, tho cul
mination of tho feast, which is celobrativo
jubilance. You and I havo known people
who prided themselves on never getting
exeitod. They have cultivated the phleg
matic. You v never saw them cry: you
never heard them in a hurst of laugh
ter. They #re monotonous and to me in
tolerable. I afejtfrajjd of a.mau nr a ttootim
irh*u oannot' Ay;^ <un rUrifiu or a ftutTonv
woman who cannot langh. Christ says in
the hook of Revelation that such people are
to Him nauseating and cause regurgitation
—(Revolution ill., 10) “Because thou art luke
warm and neither cold not hot I will spew
thee out of My mouth.” But the augels in
heaven have no stolidity or unresponsive-
ness. There is one thing that agitates them
into holy warmth. Wo know that absolute-
ly. If their harp bo hung up on tho panels
of amethyst, they take it down and
with deft fingers mill from among
tho strings a cahticle. They run in to their
neighbors on tho same golden street and tell
tile good news. If Miriam has there cymbals
anything like those with which she per
formed on tho banks of the Rod Sea, who
claps them in triumph, and there is a festal
table spread, and the best of the angels’ food
is set on it. When is it? It is when a man or
woman down in the world who was all
wrong by the grace of God is made all right
—fLuko xv., JO) “There is joy In tho
presence of the angels of God over one sin
ner that repenteth," Why are they so happily
agitated? Because they know what a tre
mendous thing it is to turn clear around from
the wrong and take the right road. It is be
cause they know tho difference between
swines’ trough with nothing but husks and a
King’s banquet with angels’ food. It is be
cause they know the infinite, the everlasting
difference between down and up.
And then their festivity is catohlng. If we
hear the hells of a city ring, wo say, “What
Is that for?” If we hear rolling out from an
J auditorium the sound of a full orchestra, wo
Isay, “What is happening here?” And when
I the angels of God take on jubilance over a
case of earthly repentance your friends
| in heavon will say: “What new thing
\ lias happened? Why full diapason? Why
the chime from tho oldest towers
of eternity?" The fact is, my hearers,
j thero are people in heaven who would like to
: hear from you. Your children thero are
j wondering when father and mother will
come into tho kingdom, and with more glei
than they ever danced in hallway at your
coming home at eventide they will dance
the floor of l he heavenly mansion at the
tidings of father and mother saved. Be
side that the old folks want to hear from
you. They aro standing at tho head of the
celestial stairs waiting for the nows
that their prayers havo been answered,
and that you aro coming on to take from
their lips a kiss better than that which now
they throw you. Calling you by your first
[ name, as they always did, they are talking
! about you and saying, “There is our son,"
or “There is our daughter down in that
world of struggle battling, suffering, sinning,
weeping. Why can they not see that Christ
i is tho only ono who can help and comfort
! and save?"
j That is wliat they aro saying about you.
i And if you will this hour in ono prayer of
I surrender that will not take more than a
| second to make decide this then swifter than
! telegraphic dispatch tho news would reach
j them, and angels of God who never foil
; would join your glorified kindred in cele
bration, ana thocaterore of heaven would do
! their best, and saints and seraphs sido by
1 side would take angels’ food. Glory to God
for such a possibility! Oh. that this moment
there might be a rush for neavon!
The Spirit and the Bride say, Como.
Rejoicing saints re-echo. Come.
Who faints, who thirsts, who will may como.
Thy Saviour bids theo come.
THE MANCHESTER SHIP CANAL
is Securing a Very Small Part of the
Colton TratHc.
lion of the Manchester (England) Ship Canal
the Chairman said that tho canal had hitherto
virtually failed to secure anything like a fair
share of the cotton traffic, the canal having
carried within the last six months only 13,600
tons, against 300,000 tons arriving at’ Livei-
pool. The Chairman contended that they
must show the cotton sellers of the world
that Manchester has a powerful association
of buyers who were willing to buy in Man
chester if the sellers would only send their
cotton thero. The groat difficulty confront
ing them in the near future, he said, was the
payment of the interest on the loan capital.
Aft»*r the meeting tho shares of tho canal
fell heavily.

uis Taylor, American minister, 1ms
presented to tho minister of foreign
nffuirs a demand from the United
(States government for nu apology and
reparation from the government of
Spain on account of the AUianoa nffnir.
Mr. Taylor’s action was based on a
dispatch from Secretary Gresham.
Marquis Tmporiali, llrst sccro'.aryof

department. Wednesday morning and
directed tho attention of tho officials
to the nows from Walsonburg, Col., of
tho assassination of four Italians. ITe
a«ked that the good offices of tho Btato
department bo used immediately to
prevent tho further killing of his
countrymen.
Secretary Herbert has issued an or
der for tho release from tho naval
academy of a Japanese cadet named
Takasaki, who desires to engage in
tho war with China nnd incidentally
get tho benefit of tho rapid promotion
now taking plnco in tho Japancso
navy. If Takasaki returns to tho
United States within a reasonable timo
ho will probably bo allowed to rosume
his present status nt the academy and
continue his studies there.
The Spanish minister at Waahiug-
ton, Scuor Murnaga, had received no
reply up to Thursday noon from the
captain general of Cuba regarding tho
tiring upon tho American steamer Al
liance by a Spanish gunboat on the 8th
instant. Scnor Muruaga ia satisfied
that tho moment the captain of tho
gunboat makes his report to tho cap
tain general it will ho in turn for
warded to tho minister. When this
report is received it will he at ouoo
laid before Secretary Gresham in or
der that ho may be made aequointed
with the Spanish aide of tlio case,
which will then he carefully investi
gated.
Tho postoffloo department has in
structed tho postmaster at Mobile,
Ale., to make up nnd dispatch, on the
1st proximo, mails addressed to Cen
tral Amoricau postoffieos of Belize,
Bluoflelds and Bocas del Toro, to be

The Income Tax Case.
Tho arguments as to tho constitu
tionality of the inoomo tax are con
tinuing. It will ho somo time, even
after they cease, before a ilroision is
rendered. If the court decides
against tho tax an extra session will he
inevitable. At the treasury the clerks
are doing somo mighty figuring on tho
possibility of it being declared uncon
stitutional. They say that if this tax
cannot bo collected, receipts will fall
behind expenditures $20,000,000 and
$.10,000,000. Without that tax there
would not ho enough revenue to run
tho government through the fiscal
year. Nothing could bo done in that
event but to call cougross together in
extraordinary session. There is a
great deul of debate us to wbat the
decision of tlio court will be. The
best opinion is, howover, that thoro
will not ho two votes on tho supremo
bench cast against tho lognlity of this
tax.
The Coal Costs Too Much.
Afler many yenra of dissatisfaction
over the prices for coal exacted by
tlio Panama Railroad company from
tho United States war vessels, the
’’navy department has declined to have
further dealings with that conoorn,
and will Secure coal supplies from an
other source. Herotoforo naval ves
sels at Colon were obliged to get their
coal from the railroad company ut $11
per ton. Tho navy department pro
tested that this rato was exorbitant,
and contended that the fact that the
United States government kept vessels
at Colon to protect the company’s
property was additional reason why
the price should he reduced. Tho
company refused to lower tho rate and
Secretary Herbert has directed that
hereafter United States naval vessels
that would otherwise coal at Colon
shall go to Cartagena for the purpose.
Cartagena is only u day’B run from
Colon, und tho department has made
arrangements to obtain coal there at
$0.50 per ton.
Gain of tho Gold Reserve -Receipts
and Expenditures.
The treasury condition for a third
of March shows that the receipts ag
gregated $9,325,000 and tho expendi
tures $11,354,000, or an excess of the
expenditures over the receipts of
$2,029,000. An element of uncer
tainty not heretofore entering into
treasury calculations has now to be con
sidered. It is the large sums of money
appropriated by congress in the defi
ciency npppropriation and sundry civil
appropriation bills. Many of these
items were mude immediately availa
ble, and the payment Monday of $015,-
000 on tho “civil and miscellaneous”
accounts shows that some of them have
begun to reach the cashier’s desk. Tho
customs receipts show a continued and
sustained improvement, being for the
fiscal year up to date $105,877,000, or
nearly umillion more than for the same
time last year.
Internal revenue receipts are$5,000,-
000 in excess of this time last year, but
improvement in both sources of re
ceipts must bejtfSB for the last third
of the fiscal JpiMjj^fcoveninieiit reve
nues for the Snw^ffeeal year will fall
considerably estimates.

The dofondants rave bail, nnd were
surrendered by their bondsmon to the

act of the legislature of South Caroli
na, upon which this arrest wss based,
in conflict with the Constitution and
laws of the United States?"
Incidentally, tho oourt says that tho
dispensary law has become fixed in the
legislation of the state. It is for tho
interest of all her citizens that it be
settled and tho constitutionality of all

speedily. But the oourt finds this ar

ordors that tho prisoners be discharged

QUIET AT NEW ORLEANS.

Grand Jury at Work.
Baturdoy’s advices state that thero
is no change in tho labor situation at
Now Orloans. Everything is quiet.
The governor estimates tho oost of
keeping ont. the militia to be between
$1,000 and $1,200 per day. Thoro
boiDg but $5,000 appropriated by tho
state duriDg a whole year for use of
tho military in actual service, this sum
will bo entirely exhausted within tho
next day or so. It will then become
necessary for tho business men of Now
Orleans and all others interested in
maintaining law and order to subscribe
to a fund to couliuuo the vigilance
which has been so effective, nt least
temporarily, in restoring peace.
OllAKP JURY TNVESTIOATfNO,
The riot is now being investigated
by the grand jury. A largo number
of witnesses havo been summoned from
the police fore* and among Ilia negro
screwmeu who were present at tho
scene, nnd whose bodies were made
the targets for the revolvers and rifles
of tho attacking party. Judge Moiso
delivered a special charge to tho grand
jury, urging them to probe the affair
to the bottom iu order to discover the
perpetrators of the outrage.
CLEVELAND’S RETURN.
The President Hack la Washington
After Eleven Days' Outing.
President Cleveland returned to
Washington Saturday afternoon, af
ter his eleven days’ recreation on tho
water. As ho stepped down the gang
plank from tho Violet to the wharf, he
looked halo and hearty, and smiled
broadly when somebody iu the crowd
shouted, “Bring out the ducks. ” There
was a glow of health upon his cheeks,
which wasnottbere when he left Wash
ington, on March 5th, the day after
congress had .adjourned.
“Ouatj^b” was a term, in ancient
times, applied only to men of probity.
How things huve changed with modern

THE POLICE WERE POWERLESS
TO QUELL THE CONFLICT.
A Drltlsli Subject lflrod Upon nnd

Thora were two soparate and dis

both probably resulting from the same
plan. One occurred on the river front
near tho Fronoh market; where the
ship Euginocr wns loading for Liver
pool. The other occurred about four
miles distant in the direction of Cnr-
rollton, at. the foot of Philip street.
Only ono man, William Campbell, col

Tho names of the dead are: Wtllinm
Campbell, Jules Onrrnbeo and two un

DotfUess a number of other uo-

away and oauuot bo identified.
The first soouo of tho conflict wsh
on the river front between Staun nnd
Damaine stroots. Throe meu were
killed almost outright, while a num
ber were wouudod.
The killing was done by a mob of
whito men numbering about 200, who
were armed with pistols anijteWinches-
tor rifles. The nogroos were about, to
start to work on board tho steamship
Engineer lying at that point, when
whito mon approached from all direc
tions. All were armed and fnany took
positions behind box oars a^d poured
volley upon volley into the uegrooa.
lose who we*v on the s<(Aia say that
ast and furidns was tho filing.
The negroes wore given fto quarter
and were shot down liko dogs. Not
only woro the darkies shot (down, but
sevorel innooent persons suffered.
Among those killed was Jules Clice
Oarnbeo, a shoomakor, who happened
to be in tho vicinity. .TameR Banc, the
purser of tho Engineer, wns standing
on the levoe, near his ship, when tho
attack was made, and he roeoivod four
wounds, throe in tho bond and another
in the arm. Ho was fired upon by
several mon who aimed over tho lioads
of three policemen who woro kneeling
behind some freight, just on tho edge
of the wliniT. His wounds may prove
fatal.
As near as can bo stated, tho shoot
ing occurred a few minutes after 7
o’clock. There wns a douse fog pro-
vailing and this afforded the whito
mon an excellent chuuco to do thoir
bloody work. At tho timo there wore
only six polioomon on the scone, nnd
there were no arrests (fleeted, as tlio
police were as badly frightened as tho
negroes. Tho attackers were oomposed
of two parties. A large number of
men appeared ut tlio corner of Du-
maiue street, and equally ns largo a
mob camo from tlio corner at St, Ann
slroet.
Resulted from Labor Troubles.
The lovee riots resulted from an old
quarrel over tho loading of cotton ves
sels. Tho business has in the past
been monopolized by tlio white crew,
who screw or load the cotton hales in
to tho holds of vessels. They consti
tute ono of tho strougOBt lnbor unions
in the country. They have an annual
income of $50,000, and havo $100,000
in baDk. They have dictated terms on
tho levee, commanding wngos of $5 or
$0 a day for their men, although the
work is by no means arduous.
At tho beginning of tho present
seanon, the whito laborers, considering
that thero was not enough business for
them and tho negroes, concluded to
drive the lattor from their work. The
ship agents, under orders from the
ship owners abroad, who are mainly
English, stuck to tho negroes, and the
result has been a running warfnro for
the past three months, in which x
number of lovceB were sacrificed and
some property destroyed. Tho wi.r
1 egan with incendiary tiros, which de
stroyed the wharves of the West In
dian Steamship Company, with $250,-
000 loss; tho wharves of tho Texas and
Pacific, with 25,000 bales of cotton;
loss $500,000.
Tboso measures being ineffective,
various riots followed directed against
tho negroes, mobs of whito mon raid
ing tho vessols in port and put
ting out the negroes working at them.
Seeing defeat still threatening them,
riots were decided on iu order to
bring the matter to a crisis, which has
very thoroughly been done.
To Punish the Rioters.
As soon as the details of the trouble
were received, stops woro takeu to re
assert tho authority of tho law auil
punish the riotert. The cotton ex
change, the board of trade, produco
exchange, maritime association, sugur
and rice exchange, fruit exchange,
young men’s business loague, mechan
ics, dealers and lumbermen’s exchange,
the clearing house, the bureau of
freight and transportation and tlio
wholesale grocers’ association ut once
held called meetings and appointed
delegates to a oonfereuco to oonsider
tho situation and dooide upon what ao-
tion should bo taken, tho universal
sentiment being that great vigor was
needed. Governor Foster wns at onoo
telegraphed, anil ho left Baton Bongo
on tho earliest traiu. He ronohod Now
Orlenus nt 6 p. m., nnd ngrecd to meet
n delegation from tho joint conforonoo
committee of tho oxohonges.
Hrltlsli Consul Takes It Up.
In tho meanwhile, in anticipation of
moro trouble, tho militia was orderod
to be in readiness to be onlled out at a
moment’s notico. Tho firiug on the
British steamer Engineer nnd Niagara
nnd (lie fatal shooting of tho p^jrser of
tho former vossel, wns brought to tho
attention of tho British consul, and
ho, as well ns tho British ship agents
in New Orleans telegraphed to tho
British ambassador, notifying him of
tho outrage nnd oalling on him for
protection to the livos and proporty
of British subjects iu tho oity. Tho
riot was also called to tho nttontion of
tho grand jury by Judgo Moise, of tho
criminal district oourt, audit began an
investigation, particularly iu regard' to
tho fniltire of tho nutliori tics nnd the po-
lioo to preBorvo order, suppress th«
riot nnd nrrnst the rioters. Mayor
Fitzpatrick, Chief of Folioo Journee
and others wero summoned boforo tho
grand jury and testified. Tho geuoral
disposition is to lay tho blame for tho
loss of lifo on tho mayor, who wab
warned of the probability of trouble,
but refused to take notion. Nor is
tlio governor held blameless, as tbo
present troubles have existed for four
months, and no attempt has boon mado
in nil that timo to suppress them.
Tlio Govornor In Conference.
The conference between tho gover
nor anil representatives of coramcroinl
bodies lasted till midnight. The gov
ernor stated to a reporter that tho
whole situation had been carefully
considered. Ho will remain in tho
oity ns long ns necessary, personally in
cbnrgo of affairs. He said the only
definite plan ho would pursue would be
the innintounnoo of law aud order, and
that it must and shall be maintained at
all hazards. Vigorous and effective
measures will bo put into operation for
this pursose. Ho is nssured of the
hearty oo-oporatiou of all good oiti-
zons. In the meantime he issued a
proclamation calling tho militia out to
prosorvo order.
Appealed to Sir Julian,
Sir Julian Pnuuoofote, the British
ambassador at Washington, has reoeived
a telegram from tho British consul at
Now Orloans, informing him of fhs
shooting, during ’the riot, of Purser
BfliaJMNkwteB'iUiill ~stwhn;er, F,«ud
I a;$W"in I#is<*cVots.,
that tho city wns iu a terrible state of
excitement and the men of tho Engin
eer were fonrful that they might be
attaekod. .He, therefore, earnestly re
quested that some notion bo taken to
insure thoir safety. Speaking of tho
matter, Sir Julian said:
“You know, tho oity of Now Orleans
is very much portill bed just now, bli
the govornor of tho stute, I am nst
surod, is able to quell tbo disturbance.
Ab soon ns I received tho telegram
from Consul St. John, I turned the
matter over to tho secretary of Btato,
and ho informod mo that ho would
communicate with the governor of
Louisiana, nnd that tho matter may be
investigated.”
London Nows on the Itiot.
Tbo London Daily News, comment
ing on tho raoe riot in New Orloans,
Bays:
"Tlio negroes aro now being lynch
ed iu bulk in New Orloans. If it were
nut for tho looks of things, thoy might
as woll return to their nucostrnl seats
in Daliomoy. New Orleans is a more
respoctable address thnn Dahomey,
but tho oitizens of the two localities
jsre much the samo.”
Quiet Reigns.
The levoe, tho sceuo of Tuesday’s
rioting, presented a poaeeful aspeot
Wednesday morning. Whore tho
crowds of excited working mon,
armed with all kinds of woapons, pa
trolled tho river front, nothing is to be
seen but squads of polioomon discuss
ing tho nffair and its probable out
come.

GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
JOBBERY CHARGED.
The Indications Aro That Tennessee
Was to Be Robbed.
A NftBhvillo special says: Tho peni"
tentiary committee heard only throe
witnesses Wednesday. Tho most in
teresting testimony was by Represen
tative King, who said that ho was sat
isfied that the specifications were load
ed, as they called for quartered oak
walks in front of cells, affording a
chance to make $40,000. They also
culled for copper knees under the
roofing, when ordinary wire could bo
used and fully $20,000 saved by the
contractors. Ho also told of informa
tion ho had received at Knoxville to
tho effect that John Houk was to have
been paid $7,500 for dolaying Com
missioner Young, who is his father-iu-
law, and causing him to miss tho train
the day boforo tho bids wero to havo
been opened, the presumption being
that tho parties alleged to have agreed
to pay Houk would have had somo ad
vantage through Young’s absence.
Commissioner McDowell later stated
to tho committee that tho bids wore
not opened on the day originally set,
because of Judgo Young’s absence, he
having telegraphed that he had missed
the train. Tho bids were opened the
next day when Judgo Young was pres
ent. The committee’s sessions are
secret.
Last of the Blue Laws.
Tho Connecticut senate has repealed
the last of the blue laws. It was a
statute which provided that a justice
of tho peace might convict a person of
his personal knowledge, without cor
roborative testimony, of tho offences
of Sabbath breaking, swearing, blas
phemy and drunkenness.

STATE COMPETITION OPPOSED.
Tannaaaea Coal Operators Prepare a
Formal Protest.
A convention of tho coal mining in
terests of Tennessee was hold in Chat
tanooga last Tuesday and was nttonded
by representatives from nearly evory
mining company in tho state. The
meeting was called to protest against
the state entering tho market as an
extensive miner of coal to the detri
ment of individual enterprise and free
labor. S. B. Luttroll, vice president*
of the East Tennessee Coal Company,'
was eleotod chairman and Colonel T.
H. Heald, of Knoxville, secretary. A
resolution was unanimously carried
that a committee of threo appointed
by the chairman, should bo sent to
Nashville to intercodo with tho legis
lature in the interest of proper protec
tion of those interested in coal mining,
tho expenses of such committee to be
prorated amoncr the comnanies.
