The race for the place vacated by his jor General lioward‘s rotircnicnt was‘bo tween General McCook and General Bu- gor, the latter commanding the Depart ment of California, and the former was peculiarly fortunate in receiving the ap- pointment over General linger, who stands at the head of the list of brigadier generals, because he would otherwise rs- tire in a fow months with the rank of hrIgadior. As it is. Major Roger's promo- tion will probably only be delayed for that length of time. Colonel James W.

Another man whose name in not known is reported to have been seriously wounded. Both oi the victims were with a small force oi citizens who hastily armed them- selves and attempted to prevent the os- capo oi the bandits. The robbers were mounted on fast horses and were heavily armed. Some of the citizens claim to have recognized them as Cherokee Bill and Jim French, well known as lioutsn‘ cuts of Bill Cook, the leader of the gang.

John Shnicit, the proprietor of one store. was relioVed of two in money and a gold watch. These articles were taken from his person. Mr. Shuiolt proclaimed his loss to the town before the robbers had finished their work, and the band of citizens was almost between them and their horses when the robbers went to mount. An effort was made to stop them, but they were on horseback with drawn pis- tols and were dying before their Would be captors could make a concents‘atod move.

Nov. low-Four comp» else of infantry and a battery of artillery. with three gatllags. are quartered today in the srmorios oi our local militia, and railroad and steamship property is being guarded by United States marshals and special police against possible incendiary attempts as an element oi the labor trou- bles which have been existing here for two weeks past. The trouble is not in the nature of a strike; but grows out of the refusal oi members of the White Cotton Screwiiion's association to allow the colored scrowmen to engage with them any longer in that business. The sorowniou’s association hero has existed for 40 years and is finan- cially, as well as by reason of its influence and well disciplined organization. one oi the most powerful bodies of labor in the world. So well have they controlled the com- mercial situation that 7?: bales is a day's stowage for each gang oi five men, and for which the gang foreman receives $7 and each of the remainder of the gang is per day. The organization has a heavy surplus in its treasuryand a reserve in strike oiiicrgcncios or other critical times. iii-fund to Work With Negroes. in attaining its present control oi the situation the white organization has for years cultivated and received the support of the negro scrowinen. At first all were members of one body. but Wore subse- quently divided. and thenegroos and the whites worked separately, but at times on the same work. With a view to controls ling entirely the situation the white asso- ciation recently issued a circular to ship ping agents that they would no longer work with the negro scrowmon. and, when the question came to an issue, struck, but afterward made an agreement that cer- tain lines of vessels would be permitted to use the black labor. The' understanding \wae only reached afterasmall riot on (lot. 26, in which four nogroos were shot or driven into the river and drowned. the city police stand- ing idly by and professing inability to recognize the ofiondars. Previous to this a squad oi the white screwmen had gone to the levee at night, and. taking the few private wharvss by surprise, went aboard the ships and threw the tools used by the negro gangs into the river, thus destroy! ing, about $4. 000 worth of property. M. J. Sanders, agent oi the West India and Pacific Steamship company, had on- gaged the negro screwmen to work on the vessels oi his line due here this week. and tho announcement was treated as a piece oi local news in Sunday's papers. About 6,01") bales oi cotton and a large quantity oi cottonseed meal and cake, be- sides stavos and mm barrels oi molasses, were on the company's wharf Sunday afternoon, when fire was discovered in the very middle of the cotton shed. hot Fire in (Inltou “r'lurvea. There was a large detail of police guard- ing the property at. the time, but uri- iortunatoly no precaution had been taken to guard underneath the wharf. Some one had gone below the planking and set fire to the cotton overhead. in wharvcs, cotton and other proper! y destroyed the loss iooted up about $150,001), and the unanimous opinion is in accord with tho police theory of incendiarism by some member of the White Screw-men‘s asso- ciation. lie this as it may, the iiogrocs did not go to wurk on thls particular cot ion on Monday. The proximity of the election probably prevented a public demonstration of the sontimcntoi the community, but the mat- ter was only temporarily deferred and the nogrocs given every assurance of amplo protection. The tort accordingly began Friday in Southport. the export terminus of tho Illinois Central and Mississippi Vailoy railroads on the river. just above the city limits. The steamship William Gillie began taking cargo with negro la. bar. and a Herman steamer at the same (lock was being worked by whites. The steamship agents had applied to the United Mates authorities, and l‘.’ deputy marshals and some to special po- lice oillcsrs were on duty all day. No demonstration was made, although it is certain that trouble will develop very shortly, and that. too. of a most serious character. It is fully expected that re- sort to arson will be had as a retaliation upon the shipping interests and railroad companies. Militia Ordered on Duty. ln Southport there are two grain ale. vators and some can carioads of cotton oaks and meal. All along the city front the whom» are full of cotton awaiting shlpniout. and in the same vicinity are the cotton presses full to their utmost ca« pacity. A ilrooi any _magn|tudc would mean theloss of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and tho city is cursed with a police force of dwarf proportions and at tor unreliability. ’l’hs lovco and yards of tho lilinois Con: tral railroad are full of cotton and have been uiiddr nightly patrol of trusted cin- ployces in addition to the hired police force all the week. it is feared that at tempts will be made at either or both these points to ilro the company's proper» ty and thus destroy the cotton. Governor Foster is in the city and has consulted with tho lagai representatives of the company. and late yesterday after- noon ordered the details of militia ai- roady iiientloncd on duty in the armories to behold in readiness. About 60 our ployses oi the lliinois (L‘ontral are on duty at Southport and some 40 at the levee depot-«u siifiicisiit force to hold in check any attempted movement until r9 list could reach either point. The nest developments cannot be predicted. but the next few days can safely be expected to bring forth some mutational develop merits.
