Atlanta, May 17. Four white men and three negroes dead, five white men and one negro wound ed and an entire block of build ings burned, is the result of a eonfict which began here early to-day between the blacks and police. Will llichardson, who is believed to have been half-Indian and half-negro, the owner of a store on Midland street, in the suburb of Pittsburg, and iour other negroes, brought on the trouble by resisting arrest and defying the officers of Fulton county and Atlanta. The fight occurred in Pitts burg, a negro1 settlement direct ly south of the city limits, on McDaniel street. The officers at tempted to arrest five negroes suspected of having beaten for mer Policeman S. A. Kerlin near ly to death yesterday afternoon.

The house was dark, but as the officers approached the in mates opened fire and Owen Heard fell to the ground. He was born out of ramre by his fellows. The house was at once surrounded by the posse and daylight was awaited before making another advance, the officers, however, having determi- xmaiviied. he been watching the house all night ap proached the place and called upon those within to surrender. The answer was a volley of s'lots and County Officer Battle dropped dead. The attackers retreated some distance and from behind trees and telegraph and trolley poles commence firing in to the store. In a few minutes the door of the house was thrown open and Will King, a negro, ran out and gave, himself up to the officers. Inside the house Rich ardson had an unobstructed view in three directions. One block away Policeman Tom Grant stepped from his shelter to fire into the house. A shot from the before fire. The officers to whom King had given himself up determined to make use of the negro and at the point of a rifle they forced him to walk up to the rear of the house .and fire it. T As soon as the flames started the officers, eager to get the in mates of the house, stepped out of their shelter in every direction. Again there was a shot from the house and this time Officer Ed ward Crabtree met death. An instant later there was another shot and County Policeman Rob ert Ozburn fell dead. The shoot ing hnd by this time attracted hundreds of people and nearly every man who came to the scene carried a rifle. The shooting into the house became general, citizens and officers firing to gether. Governor Candler was advised by telephone of the riot ing and ordered out the militia. Captain W. W. Baker of theFfth Regiment, was ordered to pro ceed with oO men and a jlatoon gun to the scene of the shooting and co-operate with the city au thorities and the sheriff of Ful ton county. Chief of Police Ball hurried to scene on horseback and 'was pin ed a few minutes later by Sheriff her of inmates were seen to run from the store to a woodshed and to a barn in the next lot. Orders were quickly given to fire these bifildings and in a few min utes several of the buildings were burning. A main sewer which runs through this part of the city was utilized by two of the ne groes as a possible means of es cape, but to no avail. The crowd had increased until 3,000 peo ple, 2,000 of whom were armed, surrounded the burning area. Milton Rosby, a negro, was seen to emerge from the mouth of a sewer. A shout went up and the fleeing negro was shot dead. His bodv was surrounded and was literally shot to pieces. The crowd of enraged citizens had scarcely finished this work when another negro was seen, coming out of the neighboring sewer. He made a run and managed to get to the back yard of one of the neighboring houses, where he was shot to death. In less than an hour the block of wooded houses was burned to the ground and a search of the ruins immediately followed. In the woodshed in the rear of Rich ardson's store, was found a skull and near to it the steel barrel of a rifle. It is believed that the skull represented all that is left of the negro who did the shoot ing Fifty men of the Fifth Infantry did patrol duty in the disturbed district all day, being relieved to-night by the Gate City Guards. As a iurther precaution, Govern or Candler ordered every militia man in Atlanta, under arms and to remain at their company headquarters until further or ders. " -z, -t )s t- M" -. Don't Start Wrong.

Washington, May 17.-The house spent the day in discussing the nav al appropriation bill and the most important feature of the discussion involves a revival of the Sampson-Schley controversy. This arose over an amendment to the bill which was presented by Mr. Mudd, of Mary hind, and which was adopted, prohibiting the use of Maclays history of the navy as a text book at the Naval Academy. A number of minor amendments to the bill were adopted, but the considera tion of the measure was not com plete before the house adjourned. Mr. Mudd, discussing his amend ment, said that the President of the United States had stated to him that this work should never be used. In reply to a question of Mr. Dayton why he wanted to put the amendment on the bill, in view of the fact that the Presi dent' would hold over the next fiscal year, Mr. Mudd said that ivhile Mr. Roosevelt was a very lively force at this time and promised to live out this term and be ready to take another, he wanted to guard against any contingencies. Mr. Pearre, of Maryland, he. wanted to join his colleague in his unqualified admiration for that splendid American and magnificent sea fighter. Admiral Schley.

Alfonso XIII, "King of Gibraltar, of thei East and West Indies, and of the' Continent, of Oceanica," was! made reigning sovereign of his monarchy this afrerno m in the Madrid chamber of deputies. ! One thousand people, including all the members of the cortes, the nobles and grandees of Spain, and the representatives of for eign government, wei-e present at the ceremony. The act of transforming: abov, who today reachsd hisixteenth bijthday, - into the if sponsible ruler of over 18,000,000 people, took less than ten minutes. An oath to observe the Spanish con stitution was administered to the young monarch, who swore on a crusifix and the four evan gils, and the coronation was ov er. No crown was placed on the king's head, and all signs of au thority were absent. This part of ihe ceremony was as simple as the inauguration of a President of theJJniteirStates. Three hundred thousand peo ple saw the procession, and at least half as many more tried un successfully to catch a glimpse of the cortege as it passed through the streets. General Weyler, who was di rectly responsible for the safety of the young king, took extraor dinary precautions to guard against accident. He was abso lute dictator of Madrid today, and placed his soldiers like a commander preparing for bat tie. Alfonso wore for the first time a field marshal's uniform, with the order of tne Golden Fleece on j his coat. As the sign of his rank lie, cmrriea a -(rattvifiu s pevttyr the same that belonged to I er dinahd VI, a century and a half ago, the last monarch who brought prosperity to Spain. Alfonso was greeted with the ut most entnusiasm. me proces sion moved very slowly, and was nearly ai hour in reaching .the congress building. As the king's carriage moved up, the president of the chamber came forward and met his majesty at the door. He led him inside, followed by the court dignitaries, and by the queen resent, who wore a white low-necked silk dress, with a long trail borne by four pages. There was no nervousness in the king's behaviour: As-keentered the cortes hall he stood for a moment and bowed, first to the foreign envovs then to the mem be.is of the chamber, and finally to the Spanish nobles. The sa lute was returned, and his majes ty walked slowly across the room to the throne, which was mount ed on a raised dais with an alter in front. When ' the king reaches the throne the president of the cham ber advanced toward him, .'bow ed low, and proceeded to admin ister the oath. His majesty lis- JMDGE BROWN FOR ASSO CIATE JUSTICE. We, the undersigned lawyers of the first Judicial District, oi which Judge George H. Brown is the Resident Judge, present his name to the Democratic Con vention for Associate Justice. In this, his home district and among his home people who know him best, his character as a man, a lawyer and a Judge is beyond criticism. We think he should recievt the nomination for one of the vacancies for these (fogent reason.,: - First, his eminent fitness, im partiality and capacity for high judicial office has been demon strated by fourteen years of con tinuous service. Second, he is the senior Super ior Court Judge in length of ser vice and has borne the hardships of the life of a Circuit Judge for that long period. It is sound policy invariably adhered to by Democratic State Conventions to promote those Superior Court Judges who remain on the bench and devote their lives to judicial labor. Third, Judge Brown was nomi nated and received the nomina tion for Associate Justice in 18 00. when there was no chance of election, and along with the en tire ticket went down in the fus ion cyclone of that year. Now that an election seems assure;!, we think it but just he should re ceive the nomination. Thos. G. Skmner, W.B.Rodman, E. F. Aydlett, E. F. Lamb, J. B. Leigh, Percy McMullen, J. C.
