NED ROES SHOT IN ILLINOIS.
One Woman Killed and Twenty Wound
ed by Rioters.
Marion, Ills., June 30. —Today, as the
tra<in on the Illinois Central carrying a
coach load of negroes from Puna to
Brush's Mines, one mile north of Cnr
terville, stopped at the Fredonla Mine,
three miles northwest of Cartersvillc,
a large number of striking union miners
o|»encd lire on the negroes, killing om
woman and wounding about twenty oth
ers.
Before the bloody work could ho car
ried further, the -t rutin .pulled out for
Johnston City.
•When it reached a point one mile
north of Brush's Mine, the negroes were
unloaded and inarched across the coun
try to their destination. It is said that
a majority of the rioters were negroes,
whom Brush brought here from the
health about a year ago and have since
joined tbe union.
There is great excitement in the neigh
borhood of the Brush. Mine and a battle
[ between the working negroes, who are
well armed, and the strikers, who are
4in the ground ready for a tight, may be
precipitated at any moment. Superin
tendent Brush wired for Sheriff Gray
immediately after the riot started, for
protection. Tbe sheriff has gone to the
scene, hut he took no deputies with him.
or had no guns to arm them.
A majority of Brush's miners have
been on strike for a month, though many
of his imported negroes have remained
loyal to him. The trouble grows out
of a question of wages.
MORE TROUBLE EXPECTED.
Chicago, June 30.—A dispatch from
Murfreesboro, Ills., says <if the shooting
near Cartersville:
'1 he miners numbered fifty, were
armed with rUlcs. and were hidden in
grass behind tbe country depot. When
the train stopped the leader, who was
an Italian, got 4>n tin* platform and
commanded tin* negroes to get out.
Conduetor Bryan interfered but was
Mopjwd by a revolver in his face. Tin*
train began to move and tin* miners
poured in a withering fire. Conductor
Bryan yelled to the negroes to throw
themselves on the* floor. AH escaped
serious wounds save the woman, who
was killed instantly. Half a mile fur
ther and tin* negroes were unladen and
placed under charge of guards. They
wm*e then inarched to the mine. Intense
excitement prevails in the Cartersville
( oal Mines, and bloody riots are ex
pected as the feeling has been intense
for weeks.

Pittsburg, June 30. —The Post tomor
row will say:
**A strike was inaugurated at the
Homestead Steel Works today which
may rival tin* famous battle between
capital and labor which was fought on
that famous spot seven years ago. The
discharge of fifteen men at the plant tin
past week is at the liottom of the trou
ble. These men were dismissed because
of their affiliation with the newly formed
Lodge of tile Amalgamated Association.
''Tin* strike, of whatever proportions
it may be, was precipitated today when
a committee of ir'iie men. who sought
the reinstatement of tin* discharged men,
were also discharged for tin* same rea
son. Superintendent Corey informed
them that no organized men would be re
tained, though it 'beenme necessary to
close down the entire plant.

'l'li- ewte ikssioiiers held interviews, first
with Kit!}' Taint and then with Ma
taafa. Tamil was not at first recognized
as kiutr by the commission. Tanu ami
his chiefs readily agreed to give up
their arms and stated that they were
prepared to aeeept any formal jrovem
inent tin* commission might reconimeud,
even if the kingship were abolished. The
following day Mataala and his party
came alongside the Badger, singing
songs and flying the Samoan flag. The
rebels were ordered to lower the Hag.
which they did. The commissioners
explained to the chief that they had come
to make peace. Mataafa said he and
his chiefs were tired of fighting. He
liis party would recognize any
government fixed by the commission, but
he hoik'd to have a king of Samoa,
as it was an old established institu
tion. Mataafa readily agreed to give
up tin* guns held by his party, but -ye
sisted that as the weapons wore the
private property of the nuNvm*, they
should receive compensation for them.
The commissioners issued a proclama
tion; stating that the guns would cither
lie returned or proper payment made
for them after all the troubles had been
settled.
This of course means that payment
will be made, as it would lie folly to re
turn the weapons.
Mataafa’s party also asked to be rep
resented by attorneys before the com
mission. but the request was deified.
After Mataafa’s men had turned in
I,Bob rifles and the Tanu supporters
two thousand more Tanu was invited
on board the Badger. There he was
informed that the commissioners sup
ported the decision of Chief Justice
Chambers and that Tanu had been kin?
of Samoa ever since the decision had
been rendered. Tanu said that he was
willing to do anything for the good of
Samoa and at the request of the com
missioners resigned his kingship to them.
The commission is now engaged in
formulating its report. The abolition
of the kingship will be a feature of fbe
report, also tin* abolition of the office
of President of Apia. This municipality
is to lie governed by n council mil
ivavor. This will do away with an offi

office in the past has been a source o'
much friction here.
The judicial and diplomatic function;*
of the consuls will he greatly restricted

fact that the supreme court and on*

Samoa. Revenue will bo raised by in
direct taxation and by means of in
