Recently, in notiug the capture of McLeau and McGill, two negroes who murdered a white man named Mc SMde in. Robeson . county, it was stated in this correspondence that "as lynching was feared in Robeson county, they were committed to jail here till the authorities in Robeson county could be communicated with." This the newspapers of the county seem to have construed as an imputa tion agamst the good people of Robe son, This is an unfair- construction, as certainly nothing of the kind was meant.

The Ministry Resigns. By Cable to the Moraine star. Rome, May 3. The Italian ministry has resigned. Immediately upon the opening of the Chamber of Deputies to-day Gen. Pelloux, the premier and minister of the interior, arose and addressed an attentive house. He said that in con sequence of interpellations touching XI I- - i.1 XI X we uuiaese quesuou me government had been forced to consider the gravity of the situation. The eltect of yester day's debate showed a large minority in the Chamber of Deputies against the ministry's action in China, which would be supported by only a weak majority. Therefore, the prime minis ter said, there could be no useful result from further discussion. Gen. Pelloux said he wondered how a modest commercial initiative in China could justify fears of military expansion. The government he said, could not consent to withdraw Italian warships from the Yellow sea, and therefore resigned. The prime ministers statement was greeted by loud murmurs from the Leftists. General Pelloux concluded by announcing the resignation of the cabinet. Adjournment of the house having been moved,, a nurnper of deputies loudly protested against .the habit of ministries resienine on the eve of an adverse vote. Finally, in the midst of considerable uproar, the chairman declared the session closed and the chamber adjourned amid great excite ment. Kins Humbert has reserved his de cision relative to tne resignation oi the ministry, but the cabinet will re main in office for the dispatch of cur rent business. ARKANSAS COAL MINES.

All such armed men are to be met at the State line and placed under arrest, as are also those who supply the arms. Mine operators will also be : arrested by State authori ties when they attempt to bring in armea laborers unaer pro tection of deputy marshals. Tbe.iniunctions issued by tne state and Federal courts are in direct con flict and the Governor regards the sit uation as critical.. He is determined that the writ of the State court shall be carried out and if necessary will go to the mininsr district in person and direct the carrying out of the court's order, which he believes to be the onlv wav in which bloodshed can be averted. The strikers are armed and a sanguinary conflict Is said to be evitable if non-uhion men are ported. - m- im-" BEWARE OP FOOD SAMPLES. Quite recently! New York two deaths occurred from poisoning by the use of powders sent to the victims by mail. In Leavenworth, Kans., the other day nearly every doctor in town was called to attend the children who had gathered up, eaten, and been made ill bv samples of an article lett at houses by canvassers for advertising mirDOses. Alum oaKinsr powaers nave always been favorite articles for this sampling business. Yet there is nothing more liable to lead to danger than the prac tice of usme the various samples of baking powder left at the door. . They are nresented bv irresponsible parties, in annearance are not distinguishable from arsenic, and indeed, in Indiana, some time since one package was found, after it had caused the death of the housewife, to have been mixed with that poison. It is safer to refuse all samples of food or medicine offered at the door. Pure cream of tartar baking powders sell upon their merits, and are never peddled or sampled. PAMPHLETS SEIZED.

V Announced That They Came As Repre sentatives of Aguinaldo Himself. Movements of U.S. Forces Are in Fine Position. .By Cable to the Morning Star. Manila, May 3, 12:10 P.. M. There was a conference lasting two hours tor day between Major General E. S. Otis and the envoys who came here from General Antonio Luna bearing a pro-' posal for a cessation of hostilities. General Otis adhered to his refusal to recognize the so-called government of the insurgents. . " - - The Filipinos now ask for a truce of three months to enable Aguinaldo to summon the congress and consult with the insurgent leaders or others of the islands. The envoys admitted the contention of General Otis that Agui naldo has little control over the affairs outside of the island of Luzon. The question of the release of the Spanish prisoners in the hands of the Filipinos being mentioned, Major Manuel Arguelles, the chief member of the deputation, said that he consid ered them as being in the same cate gory with the Americans, the United States being the successor of Spain in dominion over the islands and acquir ing by treaty all Spanish rights and obligations. " r After the close of the conference with General Otis the Filipino envoys had a consultation with the United States Philippine commissioners. 8 P. M. The Filipino envoys. Maior Manuel Arguelles . and . Lieutenant Jose Bernal, have abandoned the pre tence under which they came to General Otis that they represented General Antonio Luna and to-day they announced that they came as Representatives of Aguinaldo himself. The two emissaries used all their wiles to secure a reply from General Otis to the letter from Senor Mabini, Aeruinaldo's Prime' Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs in the dictator's cabinet, which they pre sented to General Otis yesterday, but General Utis refused to make any reply, on the ground that to do so would be equivalent to a recognition of the so-called government of the Filipinos. Maior Arguelles said that Aguinaldo knew that he would be overpowered in time, but that he would be able to continue the fight for months, and that he would do so unless he were given what Major Arguelles termed peace with dignity. Mr. Schurman, the President of the United States Philippine Commis sion, expresses tha opinion that the interviews accorded by General Otis to the Filipino envoys will have a good moral effect as tending to con vince Aguinaldo's representatives that the American authorities mean to give the Filipinos a good government and not one of the Spanish sort Cer tainly it has had a civilizing influence in inducing them to observe the amenities of war and consent to the Americans furnishing food for Ameri can prisoners. The exodus of natives from the in surgent lines continues. American Army in Fine Position. By filling in" roads where it was re quired, putting canoes on the river and following fieldsouth of Malolos, the American army is in a fine posi tion for the expected decisive, blow. General MacArthur has moved his headquarters to San. Vicente across the Rio Grande. General Wheaton's has advanced beyond Apalit. Gen. Hale has returned to co-operate with General Lawton. At Balibog, last evening, there was a running fight, in the course of which one American soldier was killed and three were wounded. The rebels scattered before General Lawton and General Hale. . . Gen. Hale's Advance. On yesterday while Captain Wheeler? with a detachment of the Fourth cav alry as covering General Hale's ad vance, he discovered a -large body of rebels atPulilan. The cavalry opened fire, but there was no response. Think ing that the rebels wanted to" surren der, Lieutenant Bell went forward to parley with'them. The Filipinos replied that they did not wish to surrender, but that; they had been ordered to refrain - from hghnng during tne ne gotiations. They asked what Lieu tenant Bell wanted, -and in reply were given half an hour in. which to retire wnicn tney improved. ' A Spanish prisoner who escaped in to the American lines reports that af ter General Hale's advance on Quin gan, two hundred Filipinos were buried, thirty-five in one trench and twenty-seven in anothor. This is the largest number of rebels that have been killed in any engagement for sev eral months. The Yorktown Prisoners. Washington, May. 3.

Encampment of the Depart ment of California and Nevada to day passed resolutions upholding the course of President McKinley in his conduct of the war, and containing the following expression: f.
