Accomplices of Prince Ed- wards May Be Let Off With a Whipping. SHREVEPORT, La., June 13.—This city and its vicinity have bgen in a state of feverish excitement and unrest since vesterday, when John Gray Foster, a | brominent planter, was shot and killed by | Prince Edwards, a negro employed on | Foster’s plantation, five miles east of this A dozen or more negroes are under ar- (rest in Kennebrew's store and what |is uncertain. Foster was widely known |and very popular. He was a brother-in- |law of ‘Governor McMillin of Tennessee | and belonged to one of the oldest families ! in this State, There 'had been bad feeling for some time past between the negroes and over- seers on the Foster plantation and Fos- ter was anpealed to to settle the differ- erces. The planter started to see the ne- groes and upon reaching a negro cabin he was fired upon and killed. There were a dozen or more negroes in the cabin and they broke and ran in all directions. The overseers were quickly joined by other men ard it was not long before all the wards. who did the shooting. Posses were quickly formed and started on a hunt for the negro, but as yet have made no fur- ther arrests, Prisoners Will Be Whipped. There were many Wwild rumors afloat being that the negroes in Kennebrew's ing lynched. This rumor proved to be un- true, although many threats are heard against the negroes. The store where the negroes are confined is guarded by a poss of twenty-five men armed with Winches. ters, and unless sentiment changes th | disposition to-night would indicate that the majority if mot all the prisoners wilt | be let off with a thorough whipping. Ed- wards, if caught, will be burned or Iynched. There is, much feeling against ‘“Prophet’ Smith and Edward Washington, both of whom are under arrest. Smith is believed 1o be at the bottom of the trouble, while | Washington is said to have been active in aiding Edwards to escape. Governor Heard wired to-night to Sher- iff Ward of Caddo Parish and Sheriff Thompson of Bossler instructing them to protect the negroes at all hazards. The Governor commanded these Sheriffs to call upon the citizens for aid, if necessary, and promised military neip if the officers required it. An attempt made to move the negroes from Kennebecwas' store to Benton proved a failure. The guards and their prisoners had proceeded about a mile when darkness overtook them and they | decided to return their prisoners to ihe | store. The negroes preferred to take their i chances at Kennebecwas' store rather ! than face the danger of lynching on the | way to Benton. | Victim’s Sister Prostrated. MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 13.—Governor Benton McMillin and Mrs. McMillin stopped over in Memphis to-day en rouce from Nashville to Shreveport, where Mis. McMillin’s brother, John Gray Foster, was killed vesterday. Mrs. McMillin ae- nied herself te all Visitors.

HONOLULU, June 7.—Governor Dole has not yet left for the island of Hawail. His condition is much improved, but he does not seem to have any immediate in- tention of resuming his public duties. Yes- terday, in the House of Representatives, Mr. Emmeluth made a strong protest against recognizing in any manner the authority of Secretary Cooper as Acting | Governor. It is learned that the Home | \Rn)e apprehension is that the executive plan is to have the Legislature adjourn under the existing status. so that Mr. Cooper may continue indefinitely as Act- ing Governor, thus obviating, as the ex- ecutive party hopes, the necessity of the appointment by the President of a succes- sor to Mr. Dole, The Grand Jury has finished its bribery investigation and is now engaged on ordi- | nary criminal business. Its report on the | bribery matter is, however, on the closed | files and will be until warrants are issued —if indictments have been found. L. A, Thurston has indiréctly given out that, although he has purged himself of | contempt, he desires a determination of the writ of habeas corpus in his case for the principle of the thing. The Chlef Jus- tice has as yet made no slgn, in that re- ard. ‘]l is supposed that the Bar Assocfa- tion's committee is_working on the! charges to be sent to Washington against Judge Humphreys, but the matter no longer exoites public interest. Largeiy signed popular petitions are ready in the Judge's favor to accompany the charges. MAYOR THROWS AWAY A VALUABLE LEITER Carclessly Tosses Into a Crowd an Offer for Philadelphia Street Railway Franchise. PHILADELPHIA, June 13.—Carelessly and without opening it Mayor Ashbridge, while participating in the ceremonies of opening the new miint, tossed into the crowd a letter containing an offer of $2,500,000 to the city, made by John Wana- maker, a merchant of this city, for the street railway franchises which have been passed by the Council and which are ap- arently to be handed over gratis to the Foederer-Mack companies. hether the Mayor knew the nature of the document he ‘treated so contemptuously is not cer- tain, but apparently he did not care to know the contents of the letter. It is in- timated that he had been forewarned or had an intuition that it contained a dis- agreeable subject and so got rid of the communication in the shortest possible time. Before the communication was sent to the Mayor there had been deposited with the real estate trust company as an evidence of good faith $250,000, or 10 per cent of the amount offered.

The next step in order, now that the Platt amendment is adopted by the constitu- tional convention, is for that body to take up and pass an electoral bill which will provide for the election of all the officers necessary to set up an independent gov- ernment in Cuba. It is said here that such a bill is already framed and is ready for #ubmission to the convention at any moment. There is good reason for the be- lief that Secretary Root has seen this bill and has approved of its provisions, if, in- deed, he has not actually had to do with its construction. It is thought that the convention can dispose of this measure in a week or two andthat will complete the labors of the body. A period of ninety days, it is said here, must be allowed for publication of the electoral act before the necessary elec- tions can be had. 5 ELiHu Roe]‘ SecreTA OF \wak'- INDEPENDENCE IN SIGHT FOR CUBANS NOW THAT THEY HAVE MET DEMANDS Secretary of War Root Has Already Given Approval to a Bill Providing for the Election of Officers Necessary to Set Up a Government of Their Own on the Island probably will depend upon the wishes of the Cubans themselves.
