They understand tht^t the strike on tho street railways puts a heavy tax on the police force and that it Is Impossible to guard all places at times against the lawless elemont of the community at all times. “They are fully convinced, however, that much of the violence to which they have been subjected is due to racial feel ing, and the attempts making in certain quarters to have it appear that the trouble ig confined to ouarrels between laboring men. incidentally Involving the Japanese, are without foundation. “In support of this view, they direct j attention to the fact that Japanese res- I taurants have systematically been an- j moved and simultaneously attacked, j Hardly a day goes by in the -territory of Market street that some threatening dem- j onstration is not made by..roughs and i hoodlums aeainst Japanese places of bus- I iness in that quarter. js? "The uniformity of these expressions of- hostility to Japanese precludes the idea that they are accidental results of chance rows between white laborin'- men. They are entirely distinct in character from the acts of violence growing out of the street ear stride where capital and labor are at war. They are clearly an exnres- sion of race prejudice to which the people of no other nationality are.'at present subjected. "The Japanese residents of San Fran cisco insist further that no provocation has been given for the outrages. They ar e peacefully engaged in lawful occupa tions. the rieht to whi-h is guaranteed to them by treaty stipulations:. -They be lieve that they are fully justified in pro testing against the acts which place their property in jeopardy and their lives in peril, and they denounce as-unjust state ments which attribute their complaints to mere caprice.” citizen should serve his country in time of war and in time of peace.

Taking precau tions against the one chance in a thousand that the rumor of Czolgoscz’ presence here was true, the local po lice, assisted by secret service men from Washington and Cleveland, ex ercised the most alert vigilance during the President's stay in the city. No trace whatsoever was found of Czol goscz, nor any anarchist, althougat three strangers to the city were held in the jail during the President’s stay. There was nothing against them, however, and they were released this evening. That the polid'e were taking no chances was made evident by the quick shift In arrangements made at the McKinley home. All friends and relatives of the McKinley family left by the front door to go to their car riages. Crowds had gathered in front of the place. Including a number of men with cameras who wished to catch snapshots of the President. The origi nal plan had been changed, however, and while the crowd waited on Nortn Market street, the Presidential party was led out of the side door to car riages waiting on Louis street.

The house on its Market and Louis streets sides was roped off to restrain the crowds which thronged neighboring thoroughfares. A broad lavender ribbon fluttered from the door to indicate a house of mourn ing, and only a few intimate friends visited the house during the forenoon. Aside from the ropes strung along the streets there was nothing to indicate that a ceremony of unusual import was about to take place. It was not until the funeral services were actually being performed that the streets be came crowded and the crowds were held under excellent check by the local police.

Ga., May 29.— Miliedgeville is in the midst of her centennial celebration of the establish ing of the State x capitol in this city, which has been made • a part of the commencement exercises of the Geor gia Military College. There was something pathetic in tho scene that presented itself this-morning as the old Legislators assembled 'on the platform, and when they told the younger gener ation of the scenes that they had wit nessed in that hall over forty years ago, before a majority of those pres ent were even born. Chairman Grice’s Reminiscences. Hon. \V. L. Grice, of Hawklnsville, presideed over the meeting. On tak ing the chair he told' of some inter esting conditions that prevailed when he first journeyed to the old capitol. On that urovoked a smile was that in those days the prevailing price of whisky was 10 cents a half pint Each one had to buy that much, and if he could not drink it all, he gave It to his friends, or poured it back in the jug. Governor Terrell took, .advantage of this statement to provoke, a smile at Judge Lawson’s expense. When the judge was trying to prove by some of his old colleagues that the balconies of the representative hall, in which the exercises were being held, originally ran further around the room, Governor Terrell said: “Perhaps the represen tative’s could ‘see double in those days. ’” Mayor Horne’s Address, Mayor Horne in his addres of wel come declared that the honor of having these ex-members of the legislature who assembled in that hall from 1861 to 1865 was thoroughly appreciated by the citizens, and while they were made happy by the presence of those who had come, they were yet saddened by the letters of those who could not come, but who had declared that their hearts were with the people here and their old companions on this occasion; that the spirit indeed was willing, but body was weak. Hon. Thos. G. Lawson responded and was most happy in his remarks, in sisting that he was still young, in fact almost one of the boys. He congratu r lated Miliedgeville that she had ex changed the State capitol for two such good institutions of learning as the G. N. I„ and G. M. C., which now occupy the State’s property. He pointed out where he sat the first' time he entered that hall. An Historic Occasion. It was during a discussion of the question "Should Georgia secede by act of the legislature, or said question be referred to the people?” The first night he heard J. R. R. Cobb speak, whom he described as bold, able, strong, enthusiastic and whom he quoted as saying: "When the news of Lincoln’s election first reached me, I sought a private place and communed with my God, and the message came to me that we muse secede and do it at once.” General Toombs spoke on the same line the second night, said the speaker, and he whipped into a frenzy he crowd, declaring ‘If my State re fuse to put the sword in my hand. I shall draw it, if alone.” Alexander Stephens spoke the third night against immediate action by the legislature, but in favor of referring it to the peo ple, but he could do nothing with the excited legislators. Who Was Responsible? The address by Hon. Thos. M. Norwood, on who was responsible for the war between the States was able aeid logical and showed a thorough mastery of all ’the questions bearng on this question. He promised the youth of the nation a fuller account of the history of this question, which he is now preparing, declaring the | responsibility should not rest on the j j n g j n f, South, if he could use voice or pen to j ter?' so put tho facts before the people. Interesting Extracts. Governor Terrell read extracts from the minutes of the executive depart* ment, showing the first and the lass executive order issued in connection with the old State capitol. He called attention to an order issued in 1S14 by Governor Peter Early, which per tained to the loaning of $70,000 of the State’s money to the United States Government by the Stae of Georgia, which was used to pay the United States troops then on G eor gi a soil, who had been fighting the Indians, and who were transfer-ed to Louisiana to fight under General'Jackson. One of Governor Early's friends advised against the loan, as the United States Government might not exist and be therefore unable to repay the State. Early replied he did not care to live a day longer than the United States. Government, and executed the order. * Governor Terrell ended by declaring that if the younger generation were as faithful to the State as had been those men present, who helped to shape her destiny In the past, that in days to come she would be known as the em pire State of. the Union. Part of Georgia Women. Hon. John T. Boifeuillet made a beautiful address, showing the part that Georgia women ha-d played in shaping the destiny of the State. It is only necessary to add that Mr. Boifeuillet received applause, and when the concluding number of the program was announced, which was t.he meeting of the old members with the citizens, Mr. Boifeuillet immedi ately had three-fourths of the ladies around him. Perhaps it was due to his white hair. Experience Meeting. The visitors and their friends re assembled in the Hall of the House at 3 p. m. and spent an hour in an ex perience meeting, exchanging remi niscences and living over again the stormy scenes in which they were actors. Hon. R. L. McWhorter, of Greene County, presided at this meet ing. The Centennial Exercises closed last night with a banquet in the old Sen ate chamber. A number of interesting toasts we r s offered and responded to by eloquent speakers. The banquet will be ting climax to the exercises. T TO a fit- !K NEW YORK, May 29.—Detectives are trying to obtain a clue to the sender of a dangerous infernal ma chine which was received today by Dr. Markar Gaddirrian, a local physi cian. When the machine was opened at police headquarters it was found to contain three shells loaded with shot, arranged to explode when the lid of the box was lifted. On the inside of the box was drawn a crude skull and cross bones with the following scrawl: “We hope this will kill you. If it does not, we will get you yet “(Signed) BLACK HAND.” Dr. Marakar Gaddirrian is an Arm enian and a physician of standing. Of late he has received "Black Hand” letters in which demands for 510,000 w.ere made. The police had been noti fied of the threats and the physician has remained on his guard. A sug gestion that the attempted assassina tion t^as a development of the political squaboles of local Armenians was not entertained by the doctor and he could account for the plot on the ground only that because of his name he had been mistaken for an Italian from whom money could be extracted bv Italian murderers.
