Relieve That Troops Should iteinalu as toe Eireec or ineir Presence Is Good. Springfield. Ohio, March 10. The race disturbances which have terror Ued the town for the past three days as the result of the lynching of the negro Dixon, who shot and killed Po liceman Collins, are held well In check by II companies of state mlltia, and' the authorities are of the opinion that no more troops will be needed to con trol the situation. Both Chief of Police O'Brien and Sheriff Routtahn believed, however, it would be a mistake to materially de crease the number of troops on hand. There are unmistakable signs that there is ugly feeling on the part of the men and boys who have composed the mobs for the past threee days and the authorities realise that the shoot ing of either a white man or a negro, or even a street fight between men of opposite race, would b sufficient tc again start the mob on a killing and burning expedition. ONE CHARGE SUSTAINED. Paymaster of Battleship Oregon Found to Have Neglected Duty. Washington, March 10. Complete exoneration on all charges presented against him, save that of neglect of duty Is the verdict in the case of Harry Earl Blscoe, of the battleship Oregon, recently tried by court-martial on numerous charges. Including falsehood and shortage of supplies to the value of J 2 800. "the court sentenced him to Fnur Ballard Boys Confess Guilt of Serious Crime. sattl. Wash.. March 10. Four school boys. PeterL'nstrlp, Emil Thor son, Wesley Case and Arthur McAllis ter, none of whom is more than 1 yeiirs old. confessed yesterday to Post- office Inspectors W. A. Wayland ana C. B. Lynn that they had been carry ing on a systematic robbery of the lock postotflce boxes in the ituiara postofflee. They said that lor more ihnn three months they hiid looted boxes In the office. In all they sum they had broken Into at least 20 boxes. some In that number several times. They admitted that they got Into the boxes by standing close to them when the renters opened them and thereby they learned the combinations. Othei times they said they found the boxes unlocked. The boys said they always opened the mall and took from It al the checks, money orders and cash they found and they destroyed the rest of the mail For several weeks the postmaster at Billiard has been besieged with com plaints from persons who had been missing their mall. A search by the postmaster failed to develop where the thief was. A few days ago the Thor so boy attempted to cash a New York draft at one of the stores In Ballard. The lad was accused of having stoler, it. Then he confessed that he took it from the malls. The postofflce Inspec tors were sent for. They questioned the lad and he told who his accom plices were. Thn all the boys admit ted fully their crime. So far nothing has been done with he youthful thieves, but it is probable that they will be sent to the reform school for boys.

Among her passengers was Cap tain Hill who brought the Japanese cruiser Nlsshln from Genoa to Yoko hama. Captain Hill says that when the two Japanese cruisers got through the Sues canal they were closely fol lowed by the Russian squadron, which was evidently trying hard to keep in close touch with them. The Russian rulser Aurora, which enjoys the rep utation of being one of the faMest essels afloat, attempted to overhaul the two cruisers, which, however, put on more steam and ran away from her with the greatest ease. From the firing done upon the Aurora It was evident she meant business. In reply to the question as to wheth er the Japanese warships hud British or American gunners aboard. Captain Hilt said most emphatically that not a white man is employed on any of the Japanese warships In any capac ity whatever. Regarding foreign correspondents in Japan. Captain Hill said that the feel ing among them was Intense. They were in despair at the reticence of the government and people, and found it Impossible to gain even a scrap of authentic news. So far aa Captain Ityll was aware there was not a foreign, correspondent with either the Japanese fleet or army. almost beyond reading, though publish ed but it years after the substantia newspaper. In 40 verses Mr. Nathaniel Knights tells of his bereavement Mrs. Klmbnll has owned the news paper for 38 years and the poem for some time longer.

Many of our customers will find that we have taken the liberty of forwarding to them the amounts of their several accounts. The great expense attending the buslnefs. In addition to the extra ordinary expenses of labor and living, must make every one sensible of the necessity of payments being season ably made.!

Boston was the chief city of the country ten years after the end of the revolution and municipal elections were fought upon national issues.

Special Agent The Jury empaneled by Coroner Pohl to InvJstlgate the death of Arthur Norton, the marine diver who met his death while diving for an anchor In the lower harbor Wednesday afternoon, ysterday ret u red a verdict to the effect that the man's death was due to acci dent for which no one Is blnmod. The Jury was made up of A. O. Spexarth. D. It Blount Chales V. Brown, L. E. Sell. II. II. Permell and J. O. Mt'lbohm The evidence adduced at the Investi gation showed that Norton himnclf had arranged the diving suit before going down, and that, after the suit had been placed on him a text was made. Ap parently v?rythliig worked smoothly, and Norton gave the signal to lower him ovr the side of the tug Mendetl. Two minutes elupsed from the time the man stepped over the side until the helmet was removed after he hnd beni hauled from the water, and he was beneath the surface only one nnd ono half minutes. The attendants testi fied that, after Norton hnd reached the river bottom, they signalled him to know If anything was iimlss, but re ceiving no response, hauled him to the i deck of the tug. Dr. Kates, who ex amined the corpse, testified that dnth was due to excessive n!r pressure with in the diver's helmet. The pressure was so great as to render It Impossible fcr Norton to exhale the air pumped down to him and the air from the lungs was forced into the blood ves sels, causing the head to swell to twice Its normal slzse. The air pressure was regulated by a gusge at the buck of the helmet, and it was shown during the investigation that Norton; like all other divers, had himself arranged this valve. The valve permits the foul air to escape from the helmet, and that on Norton's suit was said to work rath er Imperfectly. The fault resting solely with the unfortunate man, who alone examined the valve. Coroner Pohl has not yet been advised as to what dis position to make of the remains. Nor ton was a member of the Knappton lodge of Maccabees, and, If his relatives do not advise the coroner, it is prob able the lodge will look after the funer al arrangements.
