Strikers Attack the Jews at Lodza and - Many of Both Ar Killed. St. Petersburg, Mny P. Details were received here to-day in regard to the serious labor troubles which have been occurring at Lodza, a town of Poland, seventy-live miles from Warsaw, where thirty thonsand men have been on strike since May day and have been engaging in riotlous demonstrations, during wfticu thny made violent attacks on tbo Jowish residents. From these later dispatches it is learned that the rioting has been of a far graver character than was at first supposed, and that the outbreaks have been accompanied by bloodshed. The fighting between the attacking rioters and the le sieed Jews was tierce and sanguinary, and many of the combatants on both sides lost their livss during the conflict, wnile a large number received wounds which, in many instances, will probably result fatally. The local otlicials were powerless to suppress the rioting, and th situation grew so alarming that tbe Governor was rinally compelled to invoke the aid of tbe military in quelling tbe disturbances. It is alleged that the sympathy of the soldiers was with the strikers in their attacks on tbe Jew, and that when they were dispatched to tbe rfcene of the lighting they made no attempt to defend these people, and only intervened for the purpose of preventing tbe riot from spreading through the town. Th whole place is in a state of (treat excitement over the affair, and the authorities are taking precautionary measures in the event of a renewal of the disorders. CHINE SK 1SAI1IIARIS3I. now Prisoners Suspected of Scheming Agaiast the Government Are, Tortured. San Francisco, May 9. The Shanghai newspapers which arrived, by the Chinese steamer yesterday contain full accounts of the atrocious torture of the Chinese suspected of being the accomplices of the Masons In their scheme of rebellion against the government. The poor wretches who were accused have declared that tLey were simply hired by the Masons and knew nothing of their plans. An English reporter got into the prison and saw one of them tortured, nia legs were paralyzed from torture. He said he had been hang up by the thumbs, rlogged and had paper buraet under his nose, but had refused to confess, beeauae he was innocent. Then he had his Head fastened to his knees by means of a chain. A bamboo was sua pended from his iron collar, the stick be ing stretched across under his knees. His hands were chained behind him. The jailers then plaeed him with his naked knees kneeling upou the chains. Alter a long time they put a bamboo across the calves of his legs, upon which two attendants sat till tbe victim fainted with agony. The llesh below tbe knee cap is still raw and inflamed. The legs of another man were broken, fcix attendants jumped upon the bamboo until tbe bones were crushed. ' Two other men had just been re moved from the torture chamber, but could not be seen. The foreign consuls of Shanghai have appealed to the government to suppress this hideous cruelty. lhe military students at bhun-King have taken forcible measures to expel the ilrittsh missionaries from that city. It is claimed tbat their action is taken with th connivance of the viceroy of the province of Se-Chuen, in which Snun-King is situ ated. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

The execution of Frederick Bailey Deeming for the murder of his wife, at Windsor, a suburb of this city, has been fixed for May 23. It is evident tbat Deeming has not tbe slightest hope that his appeal for a further . inquiry into his mental condition will avail him to escape hanging. The con demned murderer to-day confessed to a clergyman that he killed his wife at Wind sor. Deeming claims mat in ms youth he was called "Mad Fred," and says that on one occasion he threw a girl who addressed him by that name into a canal.

Gossip from Mexico. City of Mexico, May 9. The ailalrs of the Mexican republio are very quiet at present. The constitutional reforms pro posed are giving general satisfaction, and all indications point to tho peaceful re election of President Diaz in the coming presidential contest. The low price ef silver and tbe conse quent high rate of exchange is doing considerable injury to business between Mexico and the United States and Europe, ns the merchants are curtailing their importa tions, and there is very little hope of improvement in the near luture. One of the great ideas which now possesses tbe mind of President Diaz is to form a Mexican merchant marine which Is to be liberally aidod by subsidies by the gov ernment.

It was thought that the troubles between the British and the Kgba and Jebu tribes, growing out of the closing, by tbe native chiefs of the trade route to tho interior, would be settled with little ditticulty, but it appears tbat the natives have no idea of submitting to the British demands, and, consequently, the British expedition to enforce these demands will start awainut the Egbas and Jehus on Thursday. Tbe expedition will start inland from Lagos. Both tribes are ready to do battle with the British. Cable Note.

Chicago Police Freely Use Their Clubs on Troublesome 'World's Fair Workmen. Chicago, May 9. A bloody collision between the police and two hundred striking iron-workers from the world's fair grounds, suppor ted by crowds of sympathizers, occurred to-day at Grand Crossing. A score or two of scalp wounds were inflicted by tbe policemen's clubs, and the excitement for a time was intense. Tbe riot was due to the importation of men from New York, Pittsburg and Baltimore to tako tbe places of the strikers, who were employed on the Manufacturers' building by the Edgemoor Bridge and Construction Company. One hundred of the imported men, who came in on the Baltimore & Ohio, were interviewed and induced to join the strikers, A earload from New York, over the Erie, however, were rushed past the strikers to the world's fair grounds. Three car-loads more, ou the Fort Wayne road, turned a deaf ear to the strikers. Whilo tbe Pittsburg contingent on the Fort Wayne road was waiting for a switch engine, the mob around the train quickly swelled till fully a thousand men were jeering and threatening those aboard. A general rush for tbe newcomers was made just as Inspector Hunt, with two patrol-wagons full of police, dashed up and charged into the mob. John J. Flinn and Edward Wilcox, two of the leaders of tbo strikers, were arrested. Inspector Hunt in person commanded tbe police. One of the wounded strikers suffered injuries which will be permaneut. The imported workmen were badly t Tightened at their temporary predicament, but escaped with wbole skins. When the mob was driven, back the switch engineer, whose reluctance to couple on had given the strikers an advantage, was induced to couple to the train and the new men, under a heavy police escort and amid tbe curses of the crowd, were taken to the world's fair grounds. The two arrested strikers were carted oft in the patrol wagon. They were subsequently released on bonds, pending a hearing next Saturday. The strikers are angry and desperate and the police look for further trouble. Tbe iron-workers' strike began a little over a week ago. when the men demanded a minimum rate of 40 cents per hour. This demand was refused, although it was met in the case of a few men at work on the administration building. All during last week there was nothing done on th nineteen great arches tbat are to span the man uiacturea' building. Four of them are in place, but work on tbo fifteen others has remained just as the strikers had left them. The placing of the eiant iron trusses is slow work, and there is an enormous amount to be done on the rest of the build ings when they aro in place. 'The niahu-' factnres building is the largest or the cx position structures and is the most backward in construction. - Nearly everything depends upon the iron-work now, and if that is much delayed the building, it is said, cannot be completed next October as required.

TOE BIG EIYEB IS BOOMIKG

At tho Danger Point at St Louis and Washing Oat Leeves Lower Down. Unconfirmed Report that the Great Morganza Embankment Has Given Way One Crevasse at Brooks Mill. St. Louis, Mo., May a The Mississippi is booming here and has reached the danger line, even at this point, where the bank rises rapidly away from the stream. Much movable property along the shore from the northern end of tbe city to the south was whirled away, and lumber rafts from tbe north are being tied down and otherwise secured to prevent their sudden disappearance before they can be taken apart and placed on shore. Tbe greatest havoo has been created in the squatter' settlement, ealled "Oklahoma," half a mile below tbe Merchants' bridge. Here dozens of house-boats and cabins, formerly on tbe shore, are either half under the water or floating down the river. The lumber-yards along the river front are in .danger of changing owners, while the steamer lines centering here find no room ou the levee to store their surplus freight when their wnari-Doats overuow. ro serious damage has yet been reported, but tbe water is at the danger line, twenty-eight feet, and what another day's rise may do to the cotton stored in some of the levee cellars is not to be told. The Lower Mississippi. New Orleans, La., May 9. The river at 6 V. M. marked 1C7 on the government guage being but six-tenths below the highest rec ord, that of ISM. Heavy Bbowers of rain fell last night and to-day from Vicksburg to tbe gulf, and at many points accompanied by severe wind and hail, the river to-day rose one-tenth at all points from Greenville to Vlckburg; one and a half tenths at St. Joseph and two and a half at Baton uouge. At about o o'clock this morning the levee at Brooks Mill, at tbe Arkansas side of the river, twenty-rive miles south of Greenville,, gave way after strenuous efforts to hold it bad proved futile. Tbe break was. therefore, not unexpected. At 2 p. M. the crevasse was 350 feet In width, with the water mining through at a depth of six feet. The levee was eight feet high. The trainmaster of the Texas & Taclhc railroad to-night received a message from the operator at Donaldsonvllle. La., saying that a telephone message had been received tbcro from Captain Delahoiusa announc ing tbat a break had occurred iu the Morganza levee. No communication could be had by telephone with Bayou Sa.ra to-night after the above bad been received. and there appears to be no news of the calamity received from any other source than that above mentioned. Ou the 28th of April Col. T. G. Spears, president of the Atchafalaya levee district, in an interview concerning the Morganza levee, said: It lis now the grandest work of its kind over constructed on this continent. with a base of 220 feet, ten feet more than au acre in width, it gradually elopes up to a height of thirty-one feet and has a ten-foot crown. Safety is simply a Question of dirt, and plenty of it, and tbe Morganza pile is ample for any emergency. It is well settled and sodded, and, of course, is improving in these respects all tbe time. Where the water-line strikes it the levee has a thick ness of one hundred leet of solid earth. All the Toint Coupee levees have yet eight feet or more of margin for a rise," If a break occurred at Morganza it will en tail untold loss on a large section of conntry and cover the Texas & Pacitio for many miles. A special from Baton Rouge, says: "All inquiries as to the rumored breaking of the Morganza levee fails to lead to any proba ble foundation. Levee men here familiar with the situation do not believe a break possible, unless some territio storm passed oyer it," : Destructive Wirfd and Rain Storm. Morrillton, Ark., May 9. A severe storm passed southwest to northeast, near this place, at 6 o'clock, last evening, ac companied by a heavy rain.

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report

TBE C0L0KED MAN'S BALLOT. Why It Should De Cast for Republican CandidatesIt Is a Question of Unman Eights. To tljfl Editor of tii Iuianaioil Journal: The writer, having lived several j ears in the Southern States since tbe rebellion, knows whereof he speaks concerning the relations of tbe negro of tbat section to the Republican narty, and why he cannot be a Democrat and keep any part of his manhood. A recent editorial in the Indianapolis News states tbat "one of the arguments for his the negro's enfranchise ment was that the ballot would be his protection, causing bim to be respected and sought after for his vote." Whatever may have been said in support of tbe above argument, no Democrat, North. South, East or West, was ever heard advocating it. The Democratic party as a unit raised its voice against tbe enfranchisement of tbe negro on the sole argument of inferiority and incapacity. Tbe logical conclusion would be that the ballot given the negro would have had the effect of commanding respect for bim and protecting him. but the conditions wt.re adverse to this civilizing method, and the Democratic party was responsible for it, as will bo shown further on. The News then says, referring to the above quotation: "This the colored man proceeded to nullify from the start by being counted for the Republican party without" rhyme or reason." Now, 1 desire to show that the negro acted intelligently and with the very best reason in accepting the Republican party as the party which would be the most likely to do him justice. Years of servitude had taught him to distrust tbe white man in the South. Naturally the negroes reasoned that they could expect little irom those who had for a century treated them as beasts of the field. When tnoy were clothed with the ballot they knew little of its use, it is true, but tuey knew that there was a great party which opposed their enfranchisement, and tbat their late masters belonged to that party, and that there was another great party composed largely of Union soldiers, and which bore at the head of its column the portraits of the immortal Lincoln and Grant, and they chose thin party with which to begin tboir now citizenship. What was there to have induced them to have done otherwise! But lot us seo if they did not have other reasons for beginning and continuing with the Republican party. What ever may be said pro or con about tbe "carpet-baggers," as they pleased to call all white men who who went from the North to live in the South after the war. there is one thing, at least, that even the Democrats of to-day say was a good thing, although at that time it was one ef the many mean things charged against the Republicans, and that was the establishment of a free-school system in tbat section. The Republican party advocated the eaual advantages of a common-school system among whites and blacks alike. This was unanimously opposed by the Democratio party, and so bitterly were they opposed to it in tho South that they began tbe most damnable and aecursed outrages upon teachers and others who attempted to carry out tbisplanof educating the colored people; nay, further, they burned the School-bouses by tbe hundreds and organized tbeir "Ku-klux Klans''to rid their country of the hated "Yankees" with their Northern ideas. Nota night passed but the morning sun looked down upon the mangled bodies of those whose ouly crime was that they were trying to teach and protect the down-trodden. Ostracized, :;iven to the lash, and killed in almost ev:ry inhuman way known to tbe savages. were the teachers ana aavocar.es or ine free-school system in tbe South. During all this time not a single Democratic news paper nor one member of that party was beard to condemn these outrages. let tne rsews mimes tue negroes should have divided upon the great question of human liberty and progress, and part of them, at least, should have voted the Democratic ticket, subsequently the high-bandeu outrages perpetrated by tbe orgauized Democracy of the bouth against tbe suttrace of tbe blacks was supple mented by the forming of "Rifle Clubs" in almost every county, and declaring, as they did in their platform in Mississippi in 1874, tbat they would carry the State "peaceably if we can, forcibly if we must." With this began the enactment of municipal and local laws, the aim of which was to prevent the negro from advancing socially, morally or intellectually; in other words, to make bim all but a slave in name. There is a kindred feeling among all persons of tbe same nationality or blood, and It is not to be wondered at how it is that negroes everywhere are a unit against a party tbat has lived upon its hatred nnd prejudices aucainst tho colored race. The only wonder is tbat thero should be any who would vote for the Democratio rather than the Republican party. Tbe one has opposed tbe advancement of the colored man in every way possible; the other has treated him as a freo American citizen, and has sought to elevate bim as such. The numerous outrages committed upon them m tbe South are by Democrats, and not Republicans. No Republican mobs have boarded trains and excluded colored ministers because they were riding in first-class cars, having paid first-class fare. The massacres of colored people at Vicksburg. Red river, Coushatta and a dozen other places where they were shot down like dogs, were planned and executed by Democrats. Tell me. then, who made the negro a hater of tbe Democratic party? Should he, like a cur. liek the band that smites him, or would it not bo the more reasonable to suppose ho would forever curse the name of a party that had been tbe enemy of his race irom its formation! There is one question with tbe colored man paramount to all others, and that is political equality, and an equal chance with the whites to live and enjoy tho fruits of his labor. So lung as these rights aro denied him. economic questions will be of little attraction to him. The question of human rights ought to be first in tbe hearts of all true Americans. The Republican party places it above nil others, aud for this, if nothing more, the colored man will continue to be connected with that party until justice has been meted out to him and the Democratio party has ceased to be.
