Atlanta, March 18.—In attempting to suppress a riot and arrest the rioters at a negro dance 1 mile from East Point yesterday morning a squad of county police had a desperate hand to hand fight with a crowd of drunken negro men and women and pistols and knives were used* indiscriminately. One of the county police had his hand severely slashed with a knife and an other was felled to the floor with a heavy piece of timber. Two negroes were cut, one shot and three clubbed into submission. The negroes had shot and cut each ether before the arrival of the police. Ten arrests were made and the rioters are occupying cells at the Tower. The affair is said to have been quite exciting while it lasted, and for a few minutes it looked serious for the offi cers. It required quick and euergetic work to subdue the drunken negroes, who seemed determined to kill the po lice and each other. mmmmr S the Pays Interest 1 PLANTE FA oa DSDOsits, LOAN NO SAVINGS Accounts BANK, Solicited. ugusta , Ca.

Hogarty, of Lexington, Ky., when they saw he was turning yellow. His skin slowly changed color, also his eyes, and he suffered terribly. His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He was treated by the best doctors, but without benefit. Then he was advised to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful Stomach and Liver remedy, and he writes: “After taking two bottles I was wholly cured.” A trial proves its matchless merit for all Stomach, Liver and Kidney troubles.

At the same meeting the congressional dis trict Republican committee will meet and name two candidates to represent this congressional district at the consti tutional convention. The Republicans, while opposed to a new constitution, are hopeful of electing a sufficient num ber of delegates in the event the con vention carries to prove a strong minor ity factor in the convention, thereby preventing radical action on suffrage and other questions.

Birmingham, Ala., March 18.—Forest Gooden, conductor on the Gate City electric car line, shot and seriously wounded a desperate negro while on the late outgoing car. It seems that fvlnle collecting fares Gooden was as saulted by the negro. One negro paid no attention to the conductor, being either drunk or playing drunk. The conductor shook the negro, when an other negro, sitting behind the first one, jumped up and savin that he must not handle the passengers so roughly, struck him a blow.

Brown, it seems, ordered him away; both drew weapons, and Parham was killed, dying with a pistol and a pair of brass knucks in his hands.

TIEN-TSIN SITUATION MORE ALARMING Troops on Both Sides of the Trench. HAVE ORDERS TO EIRE General Wogaek Says Trouble Was Caused by Unwarrantable interfer ence of British in Affairs of Russian Concession. Tein Tsix, March 19.—The excite ment and anxiety here as to the possi ble developments of the Anglo-Russian siding dispute do not abate. A company of British troops and a company of Rus sian soldiers remain encamped on either side of the trench, looking at each other. The Russians have orders to fire on any one commencing work. General Wogaek says the trouble was caused by the unwarrantable interfer ence of tne British in the affairs of tho Russian concession, and he adds that the siding will not be continued unless he receives orders from his own supe riors. Field Marshal Von Waldersee is ex pected here today. Both sides will appeal to him, but they both consider the matter to be be yond his authority and will await orders from Europe. London, March 19.—Some of the af ternoon newspapers say the Tien Tsiu difficulty has been arranged. The misunderstanding was due to the Chinese authorities granting the same concession to two nations. The arrangement enables Great Brit ain to proceed with the construction of the railroad siding, but if Russia’s con cession proves to be earlier than that of Great Britain the latter is to acknowl edge the claims of Russia. Tne foreign office, however, has no information tending to confirm the an nouncements of an arrangement having been reached and the officials here are in doubt that such an arrangement has been arrived at. They say the original concession was given up by Russia. WAS A CHILDISH OUTBREAK Verdict For $2,500. Atlanta, March 19.—The jury in the case of Mrs. Lndie J.

Tiex-Tsin, March 19.—Speaking of the attack made by a number of excited French soldiers on some members of the British Sikh regiment Sunday in the French concession, General Lorne- Campbell says it was merely a childish outbreak against the orders of their own general, who had forbidden the French soldiers to enter the British concession. This order followed a request made by General Lome Campbell after almost every resident had complained of the behavior of the French insulting women, refusing to pay for purches, acting riotously and abusing American and English soldiers. General Voyron, the French commander, recognized that this must stop and ordered the French sol diers to keep in their own concession. General Lome Campbell was perfectly satisfied that General Voyron was in harmony with himself and anxious to maintain order. Major Foote, Ninth United States in fantry, says the French soldiers were frequently abusive to the American troops, who were unarmed while out on pass, while the French were armed with swords or bayonets. On one occasion an American disarmed a Frenchman and turned over his weapon to the ser geant of the guard, explaining satisfac torily his reasons for the action taken. Governor Cannot Speak.
