Illinois St,, Indianapolis. Int. HOT SPRINGS TRAGEDY GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS AT T1IK SCENE OF THE STREET RIOT. Sheriff William and Othern Charged with Murder Toler, One of the Victims, a. Noted Chnracter. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., March 17. The day after the battle has been one of great excitement at Hot Springs. While there has Veen no renewal of the bloody scenes of yesterday and while a strong effort Is being made to prevent further slaughter, there Is an undercurrent of anxiety and excitement and ominous forebodings of trouble ahead. Many persons who know the men Involved In the feud are fearful that permanent peace win not be restored until all the leaders of the two factions have shed their blood. One hundred and lifty special policemen, heavily armed, have patrolled the streets all day and with the excitement at its present pitch one pistol shot would be enough to precipitate another riot which, in the opinion of those well posted on conditions existing here, would overshadow In results tho awful tragedy of yesterday afternoon. The better element of the citizen?, however, are very det tcrmined that no more rioting shi.ll occur and they are well prepared for any emergency. Governor Jones was here to-day and his presence had a good effect. The members of tho Legislature from this city came over from Little Rock thi.s afternoon at the urgent solicitation of citizens who felt that their influence ami presence here was imperatively demanded at this crisis. From the best information obtainable it appears that tho riot unquestionably grew out of politics. There are many conflicting reports as to the cause of yesterday's riot. One report is that the hot municipal campaign now going on Is responsible for the affair, and this is considered the correct version, as the Democratic party has, for some j-ears, been divided in municipal affairs. Sheriff Williams was elected at the late election as an independent candidate, In opposition to the regular Democratic Tiomlne. and has since been locked on. as the head of a very strong faction in local politics. Williams Is one of the best known public men in Arkansas. He has served a previous term as sheriff and was at one time mayor of Hot Springs. Chief of Police Thomas C. Toler, one of the slain, was a man of great courage. He was absolutely fearless of danger. He had lived in Hot Springs about twenty-five years and had a somewhat stormy career. He frequently served as chief of police. A dozen years ago ho made Wyatt Earp, a famous Western character, walk out of Hot Springs. Another time Toler had some troutie with Ed Howell, a gambler. Howell threatened to kill Toler and started out with a double-barreled shotgun for that purpose. He stopped in a saloon and placed his shotjun against the counter. About that time Toler walked in. seized the gun and shot Howell dead. He was acquitted in the courts. James E. Hart, another of the dead, had been connected with the Hot Springs police department off and on for many years. lie was, chief of police from ls7 to ls&i. during the prohibition era here, when "blind tigers" were in evidence, and they were stormy days. Thomas E. Goslee, who aNo A FUAC CftAPC CRCAM Of TARTAR POWOCft Awarded Highest Honors, World's Fair Gold iMedal, Midwinter Fair

Ilnln; colder. Exclusively.) lost his life, had lived In Hot Springs something like thirty years. Louis Hinkle and John Williams, who were among the first to be killed, were young men of great promise, having grown to manhood in this city. The coroner's Jury convened at 12:30 o'clock to-day. It is expected that the inquiry will last four or five days. Sheriff Williams, David Young, Coffee Williams and Adam Watt were to-day placed under nominal arrest on warrants sworn out by Prosecuting Attorney Cloud, charging them with murder in the first degree. When the sheriff learnetl that a. warrant was out for him he sent word to the coroner that he would submit to being arrested and placed under guard, and that he was ready to give bail in any sum demanded. It is reported that Edward Spears has died of his wounds. Five witnesses testified before the coroner to-day to seeing Sheriff Williams fire four shns at James Hart at close rango, one witness testifying that Williams held Hart by the lapel of the coat when he fired the first shot. Williams then fired three more Into Hart's body after he fell. Mrs. Toler, wife of the chief of police who was killed. said she saw a smoking pistol in Williams's hand after seeing Hart fall. She also saw her husband fall, but did not see who shot him. Coroner Shippey to-night assumed the duties of sheriff and placed Bob Williams and his brother. Coffee Williams, and Ed Spears under strong guard until the ver dict of the Jury Is rendered. There is In tense excitement among the townspeople to-nignt ana lurtner trouble is reared. Legislator iimmonrdHnnie. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., March 17. The Hot Springs delegation in the Legislature left here, at 3 o'clock for home. They were called there by urgent requests from citizens, who felt that their Influential presence was nec essary. Private advices from Hot Springs to-elay report the situation is very critical and a further outbreak is feared. Senator Kimbel and Representatives Rector and Taylor, of Hot Springs, went' there on the afternoon train. MOB'S WORK DENOUNCED palmetto lynching toxnnsnEn uv geohgi.vs (;ovi;hoh. .Neuroi'i, lloivevrr, Snll to Hnve Heen Emboldened by Sight of Colored Soldiers In the Soutb. ATLANTA, Ga., March 17. Governor Candler Is very bitter in his denunciation of the Palmetto affair. He attributes the trouble to the fact that negro regiments and soldiers have been passing through the country and the sight of them has placed In the mind of the negro a spirit of boldness "The Palmetto lynching was as deplorable as it was cowardly," said the Governor. "It is true the town was burneel in the night time, endangering the lives of all its worn en and children. It Is true that I had of fered heavy rewards for the apprehension of the incendiaries and that these negroes had been arrested and some of them had con fessed their guilt and implicated the others in the crime. Rut it was cowardly and bar barous to slaughter them as this mob did. for they had been arrested and were In the hands of officers of the law awaiting a com mitting trial. The law was adequate for their punishment and there was no doubt of their speedy trial and punishment, if con victed. Until recently there was no race friction In the State. The Georgia negro is not naturally vicious nor predisposed to the commission of atrocious crimes. This was demonstrated during a hundred years of slavery. The Georgia white man is not his enemy, as he has abundant reason to know. since he became a free citizen "Such outrages as this never, or seldom. occurred In this State until regiments of in solent, drunken negro soldiers, the scum of the dives of the cities North and South, were quartered here and there In the State and In the South. A mob of negro soldiers ran riot in Tampa and outraged women in broad daylight. Another gang of drunken vagabonds, in Macon, defied and tried to fire on the police. For months another regiment of these lawless vagabonds, weiring the uniform of the United States soldiers, terrorized Chlckan.auga and the town of Lytle, in north Georgia, to say nothing of the Griilin episode and similar occurrences. They had to be escorted through every Southern city through which they passed, after they were discharged, by a battalion of poliee. to prevent their looting the stores and terrorizing the people. "The Leesburg outrage, the Palmetto burning and many other similar . crimes committed in Georgia, by negroes, during me iasi iew months, are due to the baleful mnuence and example of these lawless row burg and Palmetto. The white men who participated in these sanguinary dramas ate as unjustifiable for their conduct as the '' ney lynched. Roth are a disgrace T r suit if ;!!-..,. , i vi, in.! nun iinu a reproach to our Mate and nil the- power of the.

TRADE STILL LARGE

CONTINUES TO GROW AS THE YEAR ADVANCES INTO SPRING. Payment Through the Clearing House Nearly GO Per Cent. Greater than Last Year or In 1S92. EXPORTS ARE INCREASING AND IRON" AND STEEL INDUSTRIES LNAI1LE TO FILL ORDERS. Foreign Demand for Whent and Corn Not Diminishing Price, However, Arc Loner than Expected. NEW YORK. March 17. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will say tomorrow: In business this year cannot be compared with any other. It can be said that payments through the principal clearing houses for the past week have been 7.4 per cent, greater than in lSt2 and 43.9 per cent, greater than 1SD3. The February exports of r anufactured products have about doubled since 1S32. Omitting New York clearings, where speculation in stocks is most active, payments through the other principal clearing houses for the same week show increase of 37.6 per cent, over 1S92 and 27.1 per cent, over last year. But without regard to such details air realize that the volume of business In all branches Is the greatest ever known. The national prosperity rests on moro solid foundations. The exports of breadstuffs, provisions, cotton and oil in February showed a decrease of $6,000,000, but other exports mainly manufactures, were $2i;.40,913 in value, against J31.275.396 last year, and were sufficiently large to cover 60 per cent, cf the entire Imports. The merchandise exports exceeded Imports for the month $33,634,117, the gold supply increasing, and there, appears no occasion for monetary disturbance. The treasury recorded its first payment of the J59.O0O.O0O for the Central Pacific Railroad, having previously received .000.000 for the Union Pacific and over Stf.0o0.0u0 for the Kansas Pacific. Swiftly rising quotations for iron and its products would mislead If It were not kept In mind that more than nine-tenths of the iron manufacturing capacity is engaged, and will be until July or later, in the execution of orders taken months ago at low prices. If a million tons of products go out this month, 900,0o0 at such prices as J1S or 520 for steel rails, at which the entire output of the Illinois Steel Company for this year was sold some time ago, it hardly indicates the true character of the Iron manufacture business, for less than 100,000 tons are going out at such prices as $26 to 2S for steel rails, made here for small lotes this week. Related buyers now have to pay fancy prices' to get orders accepted at all. Withdrawal or postponement of business because of high prices begins to be a significant figure, and much foreign business is evidently lost, though there are still sales for export, 3.:eo tons of pipe for South America and 3,000 tons bridge material for Rurmah. The Connellsville coke works, with an output of 167,210 tons weekly, and many operating on Sundays to catch up with orders, have advanced prices- only 15 cents. Wcol sales at the three chief markets have been only I.Su... pounds, of which 2,7!.iH pounds were domestic, against 5,078, 3i0 pounds In the same week of 1M,'2, of which ii,507,2") were domestic; but prices are soft, and some elealers are saiel to have yielded as much as 2 to 3 cents per pound clean because nobody can guess what effect the new combinations may have. Prices are largely nominal, and yet there is a somewhat better demand for goods. Nor has the strong demand for cotton goods been helped by the weaker market for cotton, which has fallen to G.37 cents in spite of a volume of reports about the bad condition of the late picked product. The price of goods has been strongly advanced, and is held, but yet depends on the price of cotton. The market which has lost most is that wldch has least statistical reason to lose, because no estimate of wheat in farmers' hands March 1 would provide more than about last year's exports and domestic demand to July 1. The actual exports, flour Included, from both coasts during the past two weeks have been 7.95i.93$ bushels, against 7,CJ7.92 last year. Rut such exports imply a foreign demand which Is not unlikely to exceed last year's and tho corn exports are also a little larger than last year. The Western receipts for the week have been 3X9.00) bushels, against 2.337.CW bushels last year. Failures for the week have been 1S9 in the United States, against 20S last year, and thirty in Canada, against twenty-seven last year. IIRADSTH EET'S R EVIEW. Activity In the Iron nml Sleel lnduHtrlea I'rnbnteel nnd Prices Higher. NEW YORK. March 17. Rradstreet's tomorrow will say: "An activity which in some directions represents the continuance of pre-existing conditions and in others re flects a special impulse communicated by tho near approach of spring forms the leading note of this week's trade advices. In tho Iron and steel industries activity con tinues unabated, the upward tendency cf prices being strikingly maintained and tho eagerness of consumers to take the product remaining unchanged. The more springlike weather has Induced a greater keenness in the demand for seasonable goods, and from most sections cf the country come reports of a marked activity in jobbing lines having to do with dry goods. millineTv and foot wear. Cotton fabrics generally are in a strong position. Wool does not display any uM.iuauvii, muuu (ukts nit: inuiniaineu. The lumber trade exhibits every indication of activity, reports from widely separated points Indicating a strong demand, more particularly for hard woods, which in some sections arc Teported to be scarce, high and liovancmg in price. Tho cereals weakened durins the week. probably in sympathy with wheat, which experienced a marked drop on Thursday, in part as the result of heavy liou'dation in Chicago and in part owing to reports of tno DrtaK or tne drought in California and better news from other wheit-crowintr sec tions.

DEATH OF A PRINCESS KAIL'LAM, OF HAW AII, SUCCUMIIS TO INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM. XVntt n DaiiRhter of Prlnces-i Llkellke and Governor Clefshorn, and Once Proclaimed Heir to the Throne. HONOLULU, March 8, via San Francisco, March 17. Princess Kaiulani is dead. She passed away at 2 o'clock on the morning of the 6th Inst. Her father and a number of friends were by her bedside when death occurred. The cause of death is attributed to Inflammatory rheumatism, contracted some weeks ago, while the princess was on a visit to the Island of Hawaii. Trincess Kaiulani was the daughter of Princess Miriam Kekauluohi Likelike and Governor A. S. Cleghorn. She was born Oct. 16, 1S73. On March 9, 1S31. Liliuokalani proclaimed Kaiulani heir apparent to the throne of Hawaii, and the United States war ship Mohican, then in port, fired twenty-one guns in honor thereof. The funeral of the dead princess will take place on Sunday, March 12, from Kawaiheo, tho old native church. It will be an immense affair and will follow closely after the order of that of Kalakau in 1S91, and will bo on a similar scale. There will be a grand marshal, police, troops, band, consular corps and divisions in the procession from various elements of the community. When President Dole was informed of the death he called his Cabinet together in order that a proper course might be suggested with regard to the funeral ceremonies. It was ordered that the flag be put at halfmast on the government building on the day of the funeral. The consuls were notilied of this action by the government, but as they are accredited to the government at Washington no request could be made. As a fact, all the consuls placed their flags at half-mast. Mr. Cleghorn thanked the President and Cabinet for the kindly interest they had shown and said that he considered it best to have the body He in state at Ainihua, the deceased princess's own home, on Wednesday and Saturday at Kawaiheo Church, in which place the funeral service. according to the rites of the Episcopal Church, would be held on Sunday. From Kawaiheo the body of the princess will be taken to its final resting place in the mauso leum. The services of the First Regiment, N. G. H., as an escort were offered by the government and were accepted, it is imeiy that the engineers at Camp McKiniey whi also turn out. Arrangements will likely be made for the tiring of minute guns while tne procession is moving toward tne cerae terv. To-day the body of Kaiulani lies in state at Ainihau. On a catafalcjue shrouded under purest white, all that is mortal of the princess rests, wnne an aimosi ceaseless procession of those who come to pay her memorv the tribute of a tear passes by. The catafalque is placed In the middle of the large front room of the house. At the head stand two officers of the President's staff in full uniform. On either side four women chosen from among her friends, each in black, wearing a roy;U feather cape, stand waving royal Kallhilia in funeral unison, in tne room are an xne emblems of royal mourning. Over the shroud white flowers have been strewn. The room is darkened and the air is heavy with pvr fume of flowers which have been coming all day, the tributes of friends and of people of her Hawaiian race, foo many or tnese have been sent that it Is Impossible to lay all of them near the catafalque. Under the gitat banyan tree in front cf the house there has been all day a gather inir of a hundred or more Hawaiian., sitting. for the most part, in unbroken silence. At Intervals In this group and other groups around the house meeie women break out in m6urnful chants after the old custom of the Hawaiians. At times a dozen mock women are chanting at the same time, and the effect is peculiar and affecting to un accustomeel eais. Among those who called were nearly all the Lnited Slates military and naval officers now here, a large number of National Guard oliiLers and people or everv rank and station in the community The only military guard of honor was a detail from the President's staff. The banks and most of the business nouses closed ai noon to-day out of respect to tne memory of the young princess. Consular, government and shipping Hags are at half-mast. Rev. Dr. 31. E.

WILL LEAVE SAMOA

GERMAN' Gl XnOAT FALKE TO QUIT THE ISLANDS SOON. Its Departure Expected to Remove a Possible Element of Menace and Reduce Chances of Another Clash. MEETING OF THE CONSULS CALLED nV ADMIRAL KAl'TZ FOR DISCISSION' OF SITUATION. Physical Examinations of Schley and Sampson Indlnnlans nt Honolulu Ordered to Return. WASHINGTON. March 17. Admiral Kautz has cabled the secretary of the navy from Apia, via Auckland. New Zealand, that he has arranged for a meeting of the three consuls these of Great Rrltain, the United States and Germany at an early date, to have a full and free discussion of Samoan affairs. The cable dispatch is dated a week ago, so that this meeting undoubtedly already has taken place, and the admiral's next report may be expected to tell the results of the conference. It is believed here that the presence of the admiral on his flagship, the Philadelphia, will servo to restrain the natives, as well as the more excitable element of the foreign community from any further outbreaks pending the ultimate decision of the three treaty powers as to the future of the islands. ' The German gunboat Falke is to leave Apia, Samoa, owing, it Is said to the advance of the season when the harbor of Apia is unprotected against severe tropical storms. While no international significance is said to be attached to the move, yet it is felt that it will give further evidence of tho improved relations existing with Germany and the purpose of the German authorities to avoid the occasion for friction In Samoa. Neither the Rritish nor German embassies has received word of renewed trouble at Apia. It is felt in both quarters that the governments will have little difficulty In reaching adjustment, and that the danger lies in the possibility of precipitous action by officials at this far off point. The withdrawal of the Falke, it is said, will remove an element of possible menace, as it reduces to that extent the armed force supporting the several elements. To correct a misstatement that has been 'published respecting the action of the Navy Department in ordering the physical and professional examinations of Rear Admirals Sampson and Schley, the following statement was made public by the Navy Department to-day: "Section 1413 of the Revised Statutes pro--Mr,! nr nfiicpr shall le promoted to a higher grade on the active list of the navy until he has been examineu uy a uuaiu of naval surgeons and pronounced physically qualified to perform all his duties at sea, except when physical qualification was ocpucinnc i tie wounds received In the line of duty. On March 10 the department wrote an order to Admiral Sampson, who is mi in command of the North Atlantic fleet, directing him to hn physically examined in accordance with this statute, and on the t- . wmi n nrlrr to Admiral Schley. who is in Washington, to report at tho navy yard for the same examination. Roth these examinations are simply physical examinations, ordered in the regular routine way. in compliance with the statute and have no relation to tne sampson-ociuey euu Tim mfntnl. moral and profes sionaf examinations of all the officers of flag rank, including both Admirals fcamp-c-.ii-will lio oorwlucted in ex actly the same'way for them all, by a board appointed by tho department and composed of Admirals McNair. Howell and Howison. the two former being at the head of the list of rear admirals, and the third senior to both tampson and Schley. An Interesting complication has arisen in connection with the failure of the First National Rank of Cordele, Ga. On receipt of notice a few days ago that the bank was insolvent, Mr. Dawes, the controller of the currency, immediately appointed W. II. S Rurgwin. the national bank examiner for that district, as receiver of the failed bank. Reing detained at Ashevllle, N. C, on ac count of business before the United States Court there, Mr. Rurgwin did not reach rnAa' iinen enmo r1nv4 lntPT. In the men v. yj k v it it tma Tmlo'o Kmnrv Sneer, of the United States Circuit Court, on the application of - . . i . . . a creditor or tne oanK, appoinieu a man named Harris as receiver, who now refuses to turn over to Mr. Rurgwin the effects of the bank in his possession. It is expected, however, that Judge Speer will depose his appointor in favor of the government receiver. This is said to be the, first instance of the kind on recora. Secretary Long to-day cabled orders to Cantain Todd, of the gunboat Wilmington, now at Para, Rrazil, to go up the river Amazon as far as the vessel can proceed, probably About 1.H0O miles, make, a thorough study of this comparatively unknown country and gather specimens of the fauna for the United States .National Museum nere.

March 17. All the Chinese in quaran tine whose permits from the old Hawaiian government are in good form will be al lowed to land in Honolulu without delay. This is the final decision of the matter by the Treasury Department at Washington, received in a short dispatch by Special Agent Brown, by the Peking. The dispatch requests that the decision be submitted to tho Hawaiian government at once for its guidance. Agent Brown's dispatch Is short and to the point. The instructions make known that all Chinese holding permits from the Hawaiian gevernment issued up to the time of Mr. Rrown's arrival here may come in. Annexation and the flag raising on Aug. 12 are ignored in dealing with the matter. As no permits of any kind were issued after the arrival o Mr. Rrown, the situation is that all Chinese who have left the country with regular, or even conditional permits, may come back. CERVERA'S FATAL DASH REAR ADMIRAL SAMPSON TELLS AllOt T IT IN' A HOOK. Some of the Spaniard Might Have Escaped If They Had Come Out In the Dark Schley's Report. NEW YORK, March 17. Rear Admiral Sampson has contributed a chapter to the book, "With Sampson through, the War," just issued by W. A. M. Goode, correspondent of the Associated Press on the flagship New York during the war. Admiral Samp son holds that the victory over Cervera is not entirely accounted '.or by the superiority of tho American force, and he is inclineel to believe that it was due moro to excellent marksmanship than to anything else. Re garding the strategy of Cervera, Sampson is of the opinion that had the Spanish ad miral come out during the evening, making his departure to coincide with a passing storm, he would have had a good chance to save one or more of his vessels. Explain Ing this, Sampson writes: "If this attempt had been made during darkness It would have enabled one of the Spaniards to have gone out of sight of most of our vessels in a few moments. The re suit would undoubtedly have been different. Therefore, it is my opinion that if the time of escape had been set for the evening the result would have been more successfid. The whole night would have been left to the Spaniards to evade their pursuers, and especially had the hour been set to coincide with a passing storm, which would have diminished the Intensity of our searchlight and would have greatly increased tho intensity of the darkness." The author, speaking of the reports turned in by the various otflcers after tho destruction of Cervera's fleet, says the account of the battle submitted by Rear Admiral Schley contradicted in various details those sent in by the battle ship captains. Somebody was evidently mistaken, and it was Judged unwise to forward reports from Evans, Philip, Taylor and Clark that contradicted th statements of the s-cnnd in command. The attention of Sampson was drawn to the discrepancies. "Oh. well." ho said, "what does it matter? The battle was won, so what's the use of bothering?" However, Sampson finally decided to send for Schley, and the result was that the latter withdrew his original report and submitted the one known to the public. The author states that the famous dispatch beginning "The fleet under my command." and announcing the victory of July 3. although signed by Sampson, was not written by him. ST. LOUIS BALL CLUB SOLD.

Mr. Tate offered to pay the creditors $3T,000 and in addition meet the dues of tho club to the National League and the debt due Chicago, a total of $37,S00. It is said that Becker telegraphed all over tho country asking the Ieague men if they would stand by him in case he bought the club. He received several favorable answers and that was the reason he made the purchase.

Word was received in this ity yestrrelajr of the death in Indon of William Wilde, better known as "Willie" Wilde, a big. burly man. which made the appellation ridiculous. Wilde was a brother of Oscar Wilde, and was very well known in this city frora the fact hat he married Mrs. Frank Leslie, widow of the publisher, f-ae obtained a divorce from him in ISM, but Wilde did not wait for that formality to be compiled with, going abroad before the petition was heard in court and marrying Miss Sophia Leeson. Wilde was a picturesque character and attracted great attention during his residence in this country. Without iossessing tho brilliancy or the ability to say smart things of his unshakable brother, ho was yet an attractive man, and gained great notoriety, if not any tremendous popularity, in the fast Rohemlan set of the town, lie had an enormous capacity for strong drink, and Itwas not a particularly novel sight to see th giant rolling unsteadily down Rroadway of an afternoon or evening shouting a Racchanalian chorus to the amusement of th ungodly and the horror of tne righteous. While the husland of the former Mrs. Frank Leslie Wilde played ducks and drakes with he r fortune, it was always cald, and their home was the scene of many Rohemlan gatherings, at which were represented nearly every phage of modern life; tho stage, the atelier, the law chamber, the newspaper office, and, if the police had known where to look for them, the galleys, for a numlie-r of foreign noblemen who occe pted the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Wllda were badly-wante-d fugitives from Justice. Rut the Wildes didn't know this, and soma very remarkable and pleasant evenings vrero spent at their home. Wilde was not such a bad sort, taking hlra nil in all. He was much given to braggadocio, and had a most exaggerated idea ott his i ersonal worth and Intelligence, but be was generous when he had anything to be generous with, and an abundance of comaraderle. The cause of Wilde's death waa not announced in the cable dispatches which told the fact. The marriage of Wilde to Mrs. Leslie was not a happy one, as the subsequent divorce proves. For a while they seemed to be la love with one another, or. at least, the brida see-metl to be a warm admirer of her mammoth husband, but the dream of happiness was short lived, although the salons kept up) for some time. One of Wilde's most notable feats was his splendid exhibition of alcoholic exuberance on the night of his wedding. The oldest Inhabitant cannot recall a bridegroom who ever gave a more faithful representation of intoxication than did Wilde when ho was dragged shrieking to tho altar. Mopped Economizing.
