NEGROES BURN TOWN RETALIATE FOR DYNAMITING OF A COLORED COLLEGE SEV- ERAL DAYS AGO. SENECA, S. C., PARTLY WIPED OUT ENTIRE BUSINESS SECTION DE- STROYED BEFORE BLAZE IS EXTINGUISHED, Greenvllle, S. C., Oct. 18.—As a re- sult of race troubles Seneca, S. C, is in ashes. The work is claimed to be that of incendiary negroes, seeking revenge for the dynamiting of the negro col- lege there last Friday night. The fire broke oat about 1 o'clock a. m. and burned rapidly, consuming the entire business section of the town, which has a population of about 2,000. No fire fighting apparatus was available and citizens were powerless to stop the flames. As a last resort dynamite was rescrted to. The superintendent of the Seneca cotton mills, who was an eyewitness, brought the first news to Greenville. He says it is a matter of common be: lief that the town was fired by ne- groes. Among the buildings burned are two hotels and a hardware store. The hotei people were all saved. Everythi=g is quiet, although race feeling is still shown by the negroes. No arrests have been made. The loss i3 estimated at $150,000, with insur- ance of $50,000. GUILTY OF - CANNIBALISM, Latest Charge Made Against the King of Annam, Marseilles, France, Oct. 18.—The mail advices which reached here dur- ing the day from Indo-China brought another and more revolting story of the doings of King Thanh-Thai of Annam, showing that he went to the extent of cannibalism. After KkilSng one of his wives he caused the body to be cooked and served up for dinner, forcing his entourage to eat it under pain of death. Some of the king's wives were bound and burned with burning oil and subjected to other cruelties, while naked women were thrown into the cages of wild beasts, where they were devoured before the eyes of the king. Finally the French authorities stepped in and made a prisoner of Thanh-Thai, who has been adjudged insane by Dr. Domas of the French colonial staff. The royal guard has been disbanded, the palace has been placed under the protection of 150 native soldiers and the terror stricken inmates of the palace have been rescued from further suffering. The majority of the latter were wo- men, who bore the marks of revolting tortures. Some of them were terribly mutilated, their faces being slashed and tongues cut out, while others had been suspended by pincers attached to the fleshy parts of their legs to in- crease their agonfes.

The count wanted to dave the latter case decided first. Neither the count nor the countess was present in court when the divorce case was called. Maitre Bonnett, of counsel for the count, promptly en- tered a motion to postpone the hear- ‘ng for three weeks, on the ground that the lawyers had not had time to prepare an answer, and also asked the court that the creditors’ case be tried first. Maitre Gruppi, representing the countess, oprosed the motion, arguing that the divorce case, which was not related to.the creditors’ suit, be tried immediately. In any event, said Mai- tre Gruppi, the delay asked for was unreasonable.

LIMITS _GCUNTRY BUYING REGULATION QF CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE IN RESTRAINT OF COMPETITION. Chicago, Oct. 18.—W. H. Bartlett, a prominent member of the board of trade, was the first witness called be- fore the interstate commerce commis- sion when the hearing regarding the grain trade was resumed. Mr. Bartlett declared that a rule recently passed by the board of trade fixing prices to be bid on grain in the country is, in his opinion, in restraint of competition and of trade and not a good Dbusiness proposition for men dealing in grain-as he deals. “Is the rule good for any one?” asked Commissioner Clark. “Oh, yes,” replied the witness, “it is good for the commission men.” “It is also a good business proposi- tion for a burglar to get away with his booty,” said the commiSsioner with a laugh. 4 Mr. Bartlett declared that the rule Is injurious to the man in the country who buys grain because the rule fixes ,a price’ which the dealers on the board of trade may not overbid.

GRAIN SPECULATION DORMANT, Prominent Chicago Houses Reduce Clerical Forces. Chicago, Oct. 18.—A loss of specu- lation and of large speculators has brought business on the Chicago board of trade to a point where it is evident that something must be done at once or some of the large houses will have to go out of business unless they get sources of revenue other than from grain speculation. Last March the board of trade mem- bers voted to increase trading com- missions 160 per cent. All traders were put on the dignified basis of brokers. ~Since then, "instead of bol- stering the then. waning business, trade has become more and more dor- mant, almost all the activity coming from professional circles. Some ‘of the supporters of the rule change within the last few weeke have re- duced their clerical forces because of the lack of business to keep. them active enough to earn their salaries. Houses of prominence have discarded telegraphers, thus indicating a falling off in outside business.
