DOUOI..VS3 INTHItVlUWmi. Affair Only Anutlicr llvldencn of thn hfilrlt of Sniitheru LitwIeimiieM. WASHINGTON , Sept. 1. The announce ment of the lynching- six colored men In Tennessee was much talk d of In Washing , ton tcday and canted renewed Interest In UK resolution Introducjd by Representative Blair ot NewbaAjishlre , for an Invcstlgatlor of such forms cf lawlessness , which wll probably be acted upon early next session. Hon. Frederick Douglass , the venerable pioneer of the abolition movement , was seer by an Associated press reporter. He had no read the report of the affair , nor did hi " IK continuation at th' care to. "It only a persecution of the past , " he said , atIra vary bitterly. "What can I say about this affair that I have not already said o smaller cncs ? My views are well kncwn. ' For a moment he was silent and then hi continued , apparently spakng ! more In sorrow row than In anger , "I regard this case ai symptomatic , " he said. "U belongs to tha1 spirit of lawlessness which prevails all ovei the country. It 1s usually said In defenii of lynch law that It Is cnly resorted to li revenge for a single crime , But that Is no true. It Is resorted to after almost all offenses or all alleged offenses. They kill a man , tcl how he locked when how&s accused , hov he confessed , how he was strung up , bu when the coroner's Jury Is called they swea : they don't know who did It , They neve : know xvho the man confessed to. " "I do not believe their accusations ; It I simply a reign of terror in the south to political purposes and to defeat the const ! tutlonal amendments. One effect of this per slstcnt lawless violence In the south will be undoubtedly , to produce retaliation on th part of the negroes. Persecution will bege persecution and secret revenge. Anoth effect will be to keep the capital of the nortl and Immigration from the north and fror abroad away from one part of our commoi country. H Is a deplorable state of affairs but these things will ultimately defeat them selves. The thirst for blood will be satlatei ard reaction will take place. " HOPES THEY WILL BE PUNISHED. Hon. Blanche 1C. Bruce , ex-United State senator from Mississippi and ex-register o the treasury , took a conservative view of th work of tlio lynchers In Tennessee. Thoug ! he expressed astonlshmont at the brutallt ot the action and deplored Us dnmnglii effects to the south , he at first declined t discuss the affair , but finally said : "It I certainly an appalling affair , and I earnestl hope that the good citizens of the countr In which It occurred will not rest until th perpetrators have been brought to Justice The effect of the lamentable occurrence wl be , among other things , to neutralize t some extent the good that ia being done b the Southern Development association , whlc has just closed Its sessions here. This wl be accomplished by keeping capitalists fret Investlns their money In the south. " Mr. Bruce refused to Bay whether a uprising ot the negroes was to bo expectei though It was admitted the outcome woul be of a serious character. Hon. J. R. Lynch ot Mississippi , wli served three terms in congress and -vvt fourth auditor of the treasury under Han son , denounced the lynchers and deprecate the effect , of the occurrence In retarding tl : growth of the south. "Tho lynchlngs hav become so prevalent in the south that it no longer an uncommon matter to read < them. "Naturally , I was horrified to hear of tl Tennessee lynching , which was based mere ! on the suspicion that the men were guilty i arson. Those men who have justified fri quent lynchlngs through the pulpit , pro : and on the stump have tlone so on the grouii that lynching was resorted to only for tl crime of assault. The truth is that tl lynchlngs are the result of a morbid at depraved public sentiment , which has tolc ated any and all criminal methods to stair out and effectually prevent successful opp sltlon to the ruling oligarchy , which bea the name of democracy In the south. Lyncl Ing Is only one species of the lawlessne which damns that section' of the country the estimation of peaceful nnd law-abtdlr citizens everywhere. Hence , It Is bound be detrimental to the Industrial and comme clal Interests of the south. It Is not a ra matter , and there will bo no retaliation fro a race standpoint.

Th emperor has ordered two officers of th Dragoon Guards to ride from Uerlln t Cologne , 312 miles , within four days. Eac ofllccr Is restricted to make use of one horse and the two contestants will only be nccom panted by bicyclists. During the coming army maneuvers th bicycle and the use of trained dogs will b tested on a large scale. Henceforth th bicycle Is to form a part of the equlpmeri of each Infantry corps , and tha battalloo will have a detachment of trained riders , a well as experts to train them In the use < the wheel.
