The referenc: of course, to the tragedy of yesterda morning, the following account of which appears in the Wilmington | 8tar: 3 erday morning a | squad from the negroes v were dis- | persed at Ashpole, Robson Coun crept to town and shot three whites stationed there guards. They were Albert Floyd, Robert Inman and Wil- liam Bullard. Bullard is seriously | wounded and the others are slightly | hurt. A hundred whites with blood- hounds are in pursuit, and it is sald four of the negroes have been caught. The whites are telegraphing | the principal towns in the State for Winchester rifles to be sent there im- mediatel The four negroes who shot the three white guards were captured near Ash- pole. They were brought to bay by the whites and are now confined in box cars at Ash and heavily guarded. It is feared will at- | tempt to assassinate the guards, which will so exasperate the whites as to | cause more serious trouble. The guard was composed of elght or ten men who were standing around the fire in the | open air, thus becoming easy targets | for the negroes, who fired under cover of darkness and then fled. The Ashpole incident has increased the excitement at Wilmington, which is near the riot line. NEW YORK, Oct. 24.—The Herald’s ‘Washington correspondent telegraphs: President McKinley and his advisers are very uneasy over the situation in North Carolina and the danger of a race war in that State. Senator Pritch- ard has written a letter to a Republican official giving a gloomy picture of the situation and saying that the Governor may have to call on the President for troops to quell prospective riots. The North Carolina situation and Senator Pritchard’s letter were discussed by the President and Cabinet to-day. In ad- | vance of a request for troops from | Governor Russell no decision will be | reached as to the action to be taken by the administration. President Mec- Kinley and Senator Hanna are charged | by many Southern politicians with be- | ing in no little degree responsible for | the situation in North Carolina and | other Southern States. It Is pointed out | that the President’s appointment o negroes to office throughout the South has been very distasteful to the whites. According to some of the Southern poli- | ticlans the President had it in his| power to do more to solve the race problem In the South than any man gince the war. He has deliberately thrown this chance away, they say, and it may be another generation before another such opportunity is presented. DECISION AGAINST THE PULLMAN COMPANY Bupreme Court of Illinois Restricts Its Operations to Charter i Limitations. CHICAGO, Oct. 24.—The Supreme Court pt Illinois decided to-day that the action {nstituted by ex-Attorney General Mau- rice T.

Already the fact of this bunko game has been spread broadcast over the city and the result is that many who have been ' Induced to take or buy the Monarch of the Fakers say that they will have nothing to do with it and re- fuse to become a party to the circula- tion of a paper that descends to such | disreputable methods. The exposure of its blackmailing scheme against the Southern Pacific Company has shown the people that its business methods and its boodling schemes are of a kind and If the paper had any influence whatever heretofore that influence has been completely nullified by the object lesson of last Saturday. NEW SOUTHERN PACIFIC ., LINE FROM UTAH To Strike the Main Line at Beau- mont—=Surveyors Hard at Work. BALT LAKE, Oct. 24.—For some weeks past a railroad surveying party has been operating in the vicinity of Richfield, Utah. Much speculation has been in- dulged in as to the purpose of the sur- | vey or the identity of the employers of | the party. From a spectal dispatch from Richfield 1t has just been learned that | the head of the party is L. A. Long, an engineer in the employ of the Bouthern Pacific. This being the case, according to local rallroad officials, the object of the survey is easy to see. The Southern Pacific road would appear to be survey- ing a line from Utah to the sea.

There were about | sixty graduates present from all over the | State. Rev. Father McQuaid of Holy ross Church, San Francisco, presided, v the address was delivered by the Fery Rev.

TELLS OF EFFORTS MADE THINKS THE EXPENDITURE IN- CURRED WELL SPENT. Now the Hero of Santiago Bay Is on the Way to Washington to Con- fer With the Secretary of the Navy. Special Dispatch to The Call. BOSTON, Oct. 24—The Boston Fruit Company’s steamer Beverly arrived at her dock here at 7 o'clock this morn- ing, twenty-four hours late, having on board Naval Constructor Richmond P. Hobson. Previous to Hobson's departure for Washington he was questioned by a re- | porter as to the prospect of raising the | sunken Spanish war vessels off Santi- ago. He sald he was now engaged In the preliminary work on the Cristobal Colon, and that it would take at least three weeks more before anything would be ready. The Government had appropriated | $500,000 for the raising of the vessel, but it will be money well spent, he said, if the venture proves a success, as the ship is worth $4,000,000. The purpose of his visit to this coun- try, Hobson sald, was to see the Secre- tary of the Navy regarding further work on the warships. He thought the Vizcaya could be saved, but would not state positively. She had settled in the sand, which has formed a thick bed around her, so that she Is resting in an easy position, but a drydock would have to be built around her before she could be raised. An appropriation of $1,000,000 would cover the work of rais- ing the Vizcaya and would enable the Government to bring her north ard put her into good condition. She cost $3,- 000,000. The Almirante Oquendo, Lieutenant Hobson says, is a hopeless wreck. The Reina Mercedes, which was sunk in Bantiago harbor, is a good vessel and can be ralsed with but little cost. ‘“When the work on the Infanta Ma- commenced,” continued Hobson, “I had fifty American laborers employed, but owing to the foul at- mosphere, foul gases and foul water very few escaped sickness, and I was obliged to fall back on Cuban laborers. These men seem to stand the work very well, and under proper supervision can accomplish good results. “There is a growing sentiment, I find, among naval cfficers that every one of the sunken Bpanish ships should be raised, and if found to be unseaworthy | be kept as relics. ‘“The Spanish vessels which have been and those that ne doubt will be saved and put in commission should re- tain their names as a memento of the prowess of America.” City Waif Arrested at San Rafael. SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 24—Twelve-year- old Danlel Willlams, who gave his home as 1208 Market street, San Francisco, was arrested to-day while trying to persuade a local lad to run away from home and lodged in the County Jail.

When the elevator began to disgorge the accumulated bundles from the cel- lar a crowd of curious citizens was at- tracted by the unusual spectacle, and when it was learned that the crematory | was the destination of the drays the jeers and hoots of the spectators told plainly the position that the Examiner | holds in the popular mind in this city. Many followed the drays to the crema- tory and saw the bundles deposited in the receptacle for garbage, and then vellow smoke began pouring out of the tall chimney, and a new chapter was written on fake newspaper circulation in Southern California. The question that is now a~itating the minds of the people here s how the Examiner disposes of the vast amount of extra papers which it sends to all parts of the State where there are no crematories.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.—The bish- ops and deputies gave most of their time to-day to reconciling differences between them on the revised constitu- tion in anticipation of final adjourn- ment to-morrow.

LONDON, Oct. 24—General Merritt and Miss Willlams were married at 6 o'clock this evening In the bride's apartments at the Savoy Hotel. It had been planned to have the cere- mony take place in St. Andrew’s Church, Westminster, but an illness which Miss Willlams contracted dur- ing the voyage necessitated the sim- plest possible ceremony, and the avoid- ance of exertion and excitement. Con- sequently only a few relatives and inti- mate friends were present. They were | o Deputies, and givin, 3 ¥ g missionar.

A less ostentatious wedding could not be im- agined. The general strolled from the Metropole to the Savoy unattended, wearing a beaver hat, a frock coat and a white tle. The party gathered in the drawing-room, which had been beauti- fled by a few flowers. she Rev. John Heathcote, rector of St. Andrew’s, offl- clated. The bride entered on the arm | of her brother, who gave her away. She was attired in white satin and wore the usual veil and orange blos- soms. Though looking ill, the bride stood throughout the ceremony and Ipronounced the responses in a strong voice. After the ceremony Mr. White pro- posed the health of the bride, which was drunk with enthusiasm, and the members of General Merritt’s staff en- tered and congratulated the newly married couple. The guests after- ward departed, and Mr. and Mrs. Mer~ ritt dined alone. The bride's_illness, which for a time it was feared would develop into typhoid fever, was the cause of the abandonment of the cere- mony which was to have taken place in St. Andrew’'s Church. In fact, yes- terday it was thought the wedding would have to be postponed indefinite- |1y, but Miss Willlams was so im- proved this morning that it was de- cided at noon not to delay the wedding, but abandon the proposed ceremony in the church. Then the red tape of English law threatened to be another obstacle, but, thanks to the friendly offices of Mr. ‘White, it was overcome. When Gen- eral Merritt’s aid-de-camp applied for a certificate to the registrar he was in- formed that four days’ notice was necessary. Mr. White was then ap- plied to. He had just returned from visiting Mr. Balfour, the first Lord of the Treasury, In Scotland, and he spent the afternoon in impressing on the of- ficials the importance of waiving for- malities.

Mr. Francis Linde Stetson of New York argued that there was a proposition to sux;lr/ender to the bishops the constitu- tiomal direction of the Ho-ise of Depu- ties. The Rev. Dr. McKim of Wash- ington also argued that the deputies should control the organization of their own house. Fipal agreement was reached to-day in both houses of the council on the articles for the consecration of bishops for foreign lands. Roland E. Gruber of Ohio was desig- nated to-day by the House of Bishops as editor of the committee charged with preparing for church use the translation of the prayer book into Ger- man. Other members of the commit- tee are Dr. C. C. Tiffany, New York; Johann 8. E. Rockstich, Rev. J. P. Peters, New York, and Benjamin W. ‘Wells of the University of the South. Another conference report was sub- mitted to the deputies on article 1 of the constitution and it was adopted. The committee reported that the dif- ferences between the deputies and bishops had been adjusted in accord- ance with the sentiments of the depu- ties Indicated in the debate during the morning. An amendment was adopted to the canons giving a presbyter an equal right with the bishop of a diocese to appeal to the presiding bishop for a council of conciliation to settle differ- | ences, instead of the present canon, which gives the bishops preference in the matter of time. The House of Bishops spent most of the time of the afternoon in considering the draft of the pastoral letter read in the churches after the conclusion of the work of the triennial council. Rev. George Colinhill of Delaware was elected bishop for the missionary district of Kioto, Japan. The announcement was made in the House of Bishops to-day that the first Protestant Episcopal clergyman to en- ter Porto Rico to spread the gospel of the American church will leave New York next Wednesday. He is Rev. Mr. Taft of St. George's Church, and he is ‘ Apple Crop a Widespreaa Failure.
