NECItOES APPEAL TO SOUTH
Afro-American Council Bonds Flea for Fair
Flay to Governora.
LAW SHOULD BE IMPARTIALLY , DEALT OUT

WASHINGTON , Juno 10. The Afro-Amer
ican council of the United States has Issued
an appeal to the governors , legislatures and
judicial olllcers of 'tho southern states "to
prevent lawlessness nnd to secure to nil
citizens tha protection to which they arc
entitled under the laws. " After reference
to the burning of Sam Hose , the lynching
of I.lgu Strickland nnd the political riots in
South Carolina and North Carolina , the ap
peal says :
"Since the 1st day of January there have
been twenty-eight canes uf lynching In the
Bouth and every ono of them colored. This
is not only an unwarranted outrage upon
them , but demoralizing to the white race.
It terrorizes nnd unmans the former. U
familiarizes the latter with lawlessness nnd
crlmo , creating in them contempt for law
ful authority nnd a desire for mob rule.
It is hurtful and destructive to the best
interests of both.
" \Vo deplore , and "denounce " In unmeasured
terms , criminal assaults upon women , by
whomsoever committed , and desire the ap
prehension and legal punishment of every
criminal guilty of the crlmo. All we nsk
Is that the regular machinery of justice
bo employed and the accused given u fair
and Impartial trial the course pursued with
\\hlto men charged with the same offense.
"In most of the southern states your people
ple are In a largo majority , and in all of
"To En is Human. "
to err att the time Is criminal or
idiotic. Don't continue the mistake of
neglecting your blood. When impurities
manifest themselves in eruptions orwhen
disordered conditions of stomach , kidneys ,
. liver or bowels appear , take Hood's Sar-
suparilla. U will make pure , live blood ,
und put you in good health.
them you nro in absolute control. Every
branch of the government executive , legis
lative and judicial Is In your hands. The
judges are nil whlto men nnd the jurors
are almost exclusively composed of white
men. Colored offenders have little chance
for escape when guilty of a petty offense ,
and If guilty of a serious crlmo the con-
vlcltlon Is certain. This fact Is known of
all men. There is , therefore , not the slight
est cxcuso for a resort to mob violence to
colored criminals. "
Mol > VloU'iiee Ineffective.
The appeal goes on to say that severe
punishment has had no effect In decreasing
crlmo and that Inhuman and barbarous
I methods have been no terror for criminals
j The united efforts of both races promptly
[ and surely to stamp out criminals wherever
I found will moro thoroughly and completely
rid communities of these miscreants than
I
the brutal nets of blood-thirsty and Irro-
I sponslblo mobs. The appeal closes as follows -
! lows :
"Vour oath of office Imposes upon you the
duty to execute the laws and protect the
people , Irrespective of race or color. The
reputation of your state , your honor am
the honor nnd reputation of your people de
mand that you rlso to tbo level of the oc
casion , vindicate your assumption of the
capacity to rule by the restoration of the
majefity of law , extending its fullest pro

UHRLIN , Juno 10. The cession of the
outh Sea Islands to Germany focuseJ the
ttentloti during the week. A curious fea- (
uro was that'whllc on receipt of the news ,
10 press , ne well ns everybody else at first
xprossed satisfaction , this changed radically
3 the week advanced and the terms of the
argnln became known. Not only did the
adlcal and socialist press severely criticise
10 tcrmo as exorbitant and far be > end the
aluo of the Islands , but a largo portion of
10 press reflecting the views of other
artlcs did the eame.
The latest statistics show that German
rade In the Island for several years has not
xcccded 200 marks yearly and no Herman
xportn have been sold there for sonic time.
After listening to the ( statements of the
ilnletcr of foreign a IT n Irs , Baron von Hue-
ow , In the Reichstag , the criticism became
overe ,
The Frankfurt Zcltung enys : "Tho text
f the agreement shows that Spain retains'
11 the advantages cf ownership , rctnlna full
berty for the clerical orders , has a coaling
tatlon In each group of the Islands and Is
> ut commercially on the same footing ns
ermany , whllo she merely codce to Ger-
nany the onus of the cost of the admlnls-
ratlon and receives an exorbitant price ,
which probably no other power would have
aid. "
A foreign office official who was em-
owercd to speak for the mlnhter of foreign
ffalrs , Baron von Buelow , said to the cor-
espondent hero of the Associated Press that
10 fully expects to see the Reichstag pass
10 appropriation for the purchase money liy
largo majority , adding that the Frelsiln-
Iges and the socialists will bo the only
artles to vote against It , though the center
light make Us approval conditional.
The bill for the appropriation will provide
or the admission of the now possessions
nd It U said the tariff understanding wltii
pain Is only of a general nature. Germany
nd Spain admitted each other on the
avored nation clause.

The anti-strike bill continues to exclto
tie laboring classes to nn unusual degree ,
'hero were nineteen protest meetings In
lerlln and Its vicinity this week , at which
ho socialist Reichstag delegates received
vatlons. Similar crowded meetings have
aken place In other cities. Prom the tone
f the preps It. does not seem likely that
ho Reichstag- will pass the measure , and
ertalnly not In Its present shape.
The circular of the minister of education ,
) r. Bosse , forbidding corporal punishment
y teachers In the public schools of Prussia ,
xcopt as a last resort and after a special
ermlt has been granted by the principal
f the school , has created quite a stir. The
natter has been the subject of a debate ,
n the Diet , where a resolution "was Intro-
uced prohibiting corporal punishment en-
irely. The conservatives and center , how-
ver , urged that such punishment Is needed
n order to maintain discipline. Dr. Dosso
as gone to the limit cf his prerogatives
nd.tho teachers felt It to bo Interference
vlth tha Umo-honored privileges to bo de-
M the right of judging when corporal
lunlshment Is required. The resolution was
finally rejected by a. large voto.
Recent events In Franco have been keenly
watched here. The Autoull riot Is pointed
'
out as striking proof'of the Internal de
composition of the republic , as well as gross
ack of loyalty and discipline on the part
f the police.
Fresh reports say the Chamber of Ccm-
nerco of Oladbach has unanimously re-
ected the Invitation of the Philadelphia I
Museum of Commerce to co-operate with It. '
The Influential Rhenish and Westphalia

empt to Induce the German Michael to' '
como and be skinned , " and a number of
other papers endorse this statement , clalm-
ng the 'Americans ' are "already doing
enough espionage upon German industry. "

'A ' desperate fight between two detective *
and two men under arrest took place last
night at Sixteenth nnd Chicago streets. Ony
of the ofllcers was fondly bruised in the
fray , hut the prisoners iwero overpowered
and handcuffed in time to prevent their
escape ,
The detectives were Drummy and Heelan
nnd John Delbrldgo nnd John Button were
the men in custody. Delbrldge nnd Button
are notorious thleven , having been released
only recently from ( lie county Jail , whore
they have served sentences for larceny.
The men were arrested at Sixteenth and
Davenport streets. They rnado no resist

telephone box , a 1 > lock distant. Whllo waitIng -
Ing for the patrol wagon , Button unex
pectedly landed n atralght-from-tha-shoulder
blow on Detective Drummy's chin and at

stant Delbrldgo tried to duplicate the feat
on Detective Sleelan. There was n lively
struggle for a few minutes , blows nnd kicks
being exchanged rapidly. The detectives
used the heavy ends of plntols and hand
cuffs as weapons and finally enforced sub

CLEVELAND. 0. , Juno 10. What prom
ises to bo a long and bitter contest between
the Clc\ eland Electric Railway compan >
( Big Consolidated ) and Its 900 employes was
Inaugurate * ! nt 4 a. in. this morning by a
strike which tied up nlr of the lines op
erated by the company. These lines reach
all sections of the city and they form the
only means of transportation for 100,000
people , living In a territory five miles long
and three miles wide at the south end. The
west Eltlc Is affected but little , only one line
passing through that section , while on the
east sldo four lines of the Llttlo Consoli
dated are available for use. Thus far the
LlttA Consolidated mm have refused to
strike and they are not likely to go out. ,
The strike Is mainly for the recognition
of the union and the -men have been pre
paring for It for several weeks. President
Henry A. Everett says he Is wilting to con-
ccdo all the other demands of the men and
will adjust all the grievances vhca pro-
fronted by his employes , but ho declares
that ho will never recognize the union ,
whoso demands he characterizes as tyran
nical. It Is well Understood that the com
pany has employed men In other cities to
tnko the pi'aces of the strikers , but It Is
dllllcult to ascertain whether many of these
men are now In the city. Only about half
a dozen cars were operated today. Those
were tn the Euclid avenue line and they
were under the guard of deputy sheriffs and
were operated by Imported men.
A few mall cars were run by the strikers ,
who say they will not obstruct the mall.
There have been several riotous demon
strations today , but none of a really serious
nature. There Is not likely to bo any seri
ous trouble until Monday , because there
will bo no further attempt to move cars
until then.
Company MnHt Move Klr l.
President Bryan announced that no more
conferences would be held with ( lie company
unless the oiricers seek out and treat with
the union. Not a car will bo run on any of
the lines of the Big Consolidated today , If
the men can help It. Men on the way here
to take the places of the strikers have been
headed all , the men say.
The Big Consolidated employes want , first ,
the recognition by the company of their
union , which Is a part of the Amalgamated
Association of Street Railway Employes of
America. Secondly , they want a board of
arbitration to pass upon alleged violations
of company's rules when a man Is charged
with violating those rules and the union's
officers and Uio company's management dis
agree upon the disposition of his case.
They want summary dismissal for causes
not clearly apparent to them stopped. The
men charge that there have been numerous
discharges for trifling reasons. Tho.men
want , thirdly , an abatement of "swing"
runs. In n swing run a man gets pay for
only the hours ho works , but Uio working
hours are scattered all through the day and
night.
One of the men's demands , that the old
and slower schedule be readoptcd ; has been
conceded by the company. The real flghfls
over Iho recognition of the union.
About 900 men are now out , but the line
men are expected to follow the conductors
and motormen.
StrlkrrM Slop Cnrx.
At 9 o'clock this morning. Just five hours
after the big strike was declared , the Big
Consolidated made It first attempt to run n
car over Its lines , starting from the Lake-
view barns. The car had proceeded but a
few hundred feet when It was surrounded by
strikers and sympathizers , yelling and hcot-
Ing. Then eggs began to fly. The men on
the car paid little attention to the demon
stration.
The crowd surged about the car and or
dered the men In charge to leave and join
the strikers.
President Bryan of the Amalgamated As
sociation of Street Car Men drove up at a
furious pace and urged the strikers to re
frain frcm violence and do nothing to dis
credit their cause. The men yielded and the
car went on.
At 9:40 : another car loaded 'with deputies
was started from the Lakevlow barns. This
also was hooted , but no violence was at
tempted. Both cars made the round trip un
molested. As the first car was entering the
barn on Its return a stone struck Jacob
Kratz , a new man , In the head. Ho Is In a
serious condition.
At noon seven cars had loft the I.nkevlcw
barns. After the fourth car had left there
was no further trouble. The motormen and
conductors were left severely alone.
lAfter that cars continued to run nt In
frequent Intervals. The suburban cars car
rying United States malls were not Inter
fered with. An attempt was made to get
an Injunction in the United States court
to prevent the strikers from Interfering
with mall cars , but It failed.
The company has Imported about thirty
men from Buffalo.
TOLEDO , 0. , Juno 10. A largo company
of Toledo motormen will be taken from hoe :
cither tomorrow or Monday to take the
places of the Cleveland strikers An agent
of the company baa been In the city this
week and has been successful In securing all
the men ho wanted. Ho states that the
company has plenty of men engaged In
various cities of the stnto.
The officiate of the company decided late
this afternoon to abandon the attempt to
move cars until 7 o'clock ( Monday morning.
This decision was reached In order that
trouble might t > e avoided on Sunday , when
so many people will bo Idle. President
Everett has gone to the country to spend the ]
day. The only cars to bo moved will bo
HIDEO carrying the United States malls , and
the strikers have volunteered to BJO that
those are operated so long as no passengers
are carried. Thus for no Impression has I
boon made on the employes of the Llttlo
Consolidated , and whllo there Is nome tallt I
of a strike there there are no Indications
that the men can be Induced to go out. The
Llttlo Consolidated , of which Senator Hanna
Is president , operates flvo lines and employs
several hundred men.
IIiiiull ( > rii Strike Affnln.
BUFFALO , N. Y. , Juno 10. At a meeting
of striking freight handlers of the Erie rail
road today , it was decided to order out all
men employed Inside at the various freight
houses on the docks this afternoon. Com
mittees were appointed to visit each freight
house at once and notify the men , The strik
ers subsequently adopted the following :
"Wo demand fifteen cents an hour for
ten hours work during the day , 20 cents an
hour for all overtime , no overtime after 10
o'clock and no Sunday work. "
The strikers are principally Poles , and
number about 150. They suggest that they
will command the support and sympathy
of the United Trades and Labor council of
15,000 men , with whpm they are now said
to bo aflllated.
Superintendent Brunt of the Erie , at
whose docks the strike began , said that
the demands of the men wcie unreasonable
and that be could not accede to them.
They are now receiving 14 cents an hour
for day work and 21 cents for overtime.

WASHINGTON , Juno' 10. The Industrial
commission haa appointed n subcommittee
to visit the northwestern states during July
'and ' August to Investigate the alleged ele
vator trust. This committee consists of
Senator Kyle , Al Harris and E. D. Conger.
John Arbuckle , the coffee nnd sugar mag
nate , has asked to he excused from testify
ing before the commission. Ho suggested
that his manager , James N. Jarvlo , bo sum
moned in his stead , Mr. Jarvlo will reach
I Washington some time next week.
The Industrial commission toJay listened
to n. statement by S. M. Buynltzky , sugar
expert In the Customs bureau of the Treasury
department , concerning the methods of de
termining the duties on sugar. Much of his
testimony was technical. Ho stated that ,
owing to Improvements In refining pro
cesses , there had boon a slight Increase In
the quantity of a rellncd sugar c.ipabln of
being manufactured from 100 pounds of raw-
sugar since the Dlngloy bill became a law ,
the quantity then being ninety-two and one-
half pounds. This Increase has resulted In
a slightly Increased differential In favor of
the refiner. Mr. Buynltzky said ho did not
consider the differential system detrimental
to the Interests of the sugar consumer and
referred to the reduction of prices of sugar
In the last twenty yearn ns sufficient evi
dence of the soundness of his position. He ,
however , considered that there was a cer
tain menace In trusts and suggested as a
remedy a law giving the president power to
reduce the duty on Imported articles In casss
where such articles arc made the basis of a
trust In the United States.

overdue from that point to Valparaiso ,
The signer of the dispatch Is Commander

head , which is following ( tie Newark around
South America , and who has recently nr-
rlvfcl at Montevideo himself. It Ifl the
opinion of the naval olllccrs at the depart
ment that th& Newark met with bad
weather on the way couth from Montevideo
and was pcidaps driven out of its course
so that it was greatly delayed In Kcttlne
into the Straits of Magellan. However , as
