Washington, Jan. 7. Senator Mc

on the situation at Indianola. Miss

a result of antagonism to the negro
postmaster. Subsequently Senator Mc
Laurin stated that he believed the of-

Payne said that the office will be re
opened if there is no intimidation of
the postmaster.
Last evening Senator McLaurin tele
graphed to Indianola, requesting a
statement of facts connected with te
po.T toff ice quarrel. He said, after his
interview with the Postmaster Genoral,
that the latter had given him a cour
teous hearing.
Senator McLaurin told Postmaster
General Payne that he knew the people
f Indianola and vicinity to be as good
and as law-abiding citizens as could
found anywhere. He said he felt
snre that there was no considerable
?rowd at the mass meeting. He next
3sked Mr. Payne that the mail from
Indianola be sent to Baird instead of
Greenville, as it would be more con
venient for the citizens to get it at that
noint. This the Postmaster General re
fused to do, on the ground that the
postoffice force at Baird was not large
enough to handle the mail.
Senator McLaurin asked thai- .T. H.

bondsmen of Mrs. Cox, be made post

Boston, Jan. 7. In a dark corner at
the north end of the park last night
three men held up Raffale Carmoise, a
progressive contractor, choked him in
to insensibility and robbed him of $2,
350. Carmoise furnished the police the
names of two of them, father and son,
the latter 17 years of age, and early
this morning the boy was arrested.
