SAN FRANoIsCo, September ga Vic.
toria dispatch says that the initial stake
Of the Es9uimalt dry dock WAS driven
yesterday by thc.GOvernor General, with
great ceremony and pomp. A large pub
lie meeting was held at night, and the
following resolution passed:
Resolved, That in case the Dominion
government persists in ignoring Carnavon
settlement OF the railroad allegation Of
the Dominion to British Columbia, it is
the request Of this meeting that their rep
rcsentatives in the Provincial Parlia.
ment shall at the next session vote for the
separation OF British Columbia from the
Dominion.
To-day the Governor General was
waited on by 4 deputatiOn oil citizens
whom he addressed for four hours
and quarter on railroad matters. He
said he did not regard the cry for separa..
ton M serious, and said that il the Island
wished to leave the Dominion il would
not be prevented, but he wanted the pco-
pie 10 understNnd that the main land
would not follow ii out OF the union. lie
said il the Island were to Cecedc it would
lose the Capital, Railroad Custom House,
PostoiIice and its free Institutions; and
that it would sink to the position Of a
crown colony. The people were much
disappointed at the result Of the inter-
view. The Governor General starts to-
day in the Amethyst for San Francisco.

Postal I,nilrond service.

CLEVELAND, September 2S.-The spec.
ial Commission on the Postal Railroad
Service met here this morning, and were
met by n committee appointed by tho
Board OF Trade and deputations from the
leading mercantile and banking interests
OF the city, and made statements in re.
gard to the necessity Of increased
mail facilities. All agreed, and were OF
the opinion that there was nearly "a
hours difference in the receipts OF the
mails from New York and the Eastern
States by the last mail, and the same time
saved in the remittance Of exchange and
in the collection OF drafts and checks from
the towns on the line Of the fast mail, in
the saving Of interest alone, was much
more than the entire cost Of the fast mail.
Mr.. Shcrwin, postmaster in this city,
also gave full particulars Of the de-
tention Of the mail by the withdrawal
OF tho fast mail train and stated he had
no doubt the revenue Of the department,
from the letter correspondence Of Cleve-
land, would be increased to such nm ex-
tent by the fast mail as 10 equal the in.
creased cost OF the revenue, which would
probably be assessed upon Cleveland as
her share; that the same correspondence
and large portion Of the newspaper
mail that was sent by ,the fast mail now
goes by express and pays postage in ad.
dition to express charges.

the Centennial.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 81, 1915.

PHILADELPHIA, sept. Il, 1910.
Editors IutCllIsenCcr:
This has been another great day at the
Centennial grounds. The number in at.
tendance to-day was greater than any day
previous. The New York police, several
hundred strong, Gov. Tilden, and last
though not least, President Grant, were
in attendance. Owing to the crowded
state Of the buildings with sight seeing
humanity, it is impossible to arrive at n
comparison Of the exhibits Of the differ.
ent States and nations. hKansas and Col.
orado make splendid show ntheir State
building. The apples from those States
are the finest we have noticed. Arkansas
shows in her building that she ia rich in
almost everything.
The display OF minerals from CalilOr-
MIA and Nevada is immense. We have
not been in all the State buildings yet.
The majority Of them are headquarters
for the visitors from the respective States.
The Virginia building has an observatory
on II enclosed with colored glass, marked
Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
Looking through these glasses the Cen.
tennial grounds are showa up in the four
seasons. The sight is grand one, and
should be seen to be appreciated. The
log cabin OF ye olden time, the at
tendants attired in the costumes
Of '76, and where meals are
served in the style Of hundred
years ago, is attractive and draws
large crowds. The Turkish and Algerian
bazaars, as well as the Japanese shops,
are also well patroDized. The State OF
Pennsylvania shows the progress made in
education in building especially got up,
for that purpose. The Swede school
house is curiosity, and can only be seen
inside from 10 A. N. until l p. NJ. The
carriage owned and used by Gen. Wash
ington, located in the carriage depart
ment, is an odd vehicle, and is sur
rounded with spectators. Anything that
is curiosity ii is difficult 10 see % there
is always crowd around. The curiosity
Of the people 10 zee, and apparently
to take the whole show in in one
day, il wonderful. They crowd and
push, and AmeriCan.like will go ahead or
break things. Our advice TO those visit.
ing the halls, is to keep cool, and not get
in a hurry, unless they are forced to, and
keep a sharp look out for that which
most interests them, and when found,
view it, and move on. We are here TO
see the show. that's what We come for, and
intend to not let the great crowd cheat us
out OF il. Whether or not We will be
able TO give an intelligent outline Of our
yisit, will he best known when we are
through. Saturday is twenty-five cent
day, when it is sexpected that the. attend
ance will be the largest Of any day yet.

SaIaughlerIng tne Negroes.

WASHINGTON, September 2S.- Gov.
Chamberlain passed through Washing
to-day on his return to South Caralina.
It seems from dispatches received by him
from Columbia within the last three days
that the truth about the recent dis
turbances at Rousc's Bridge, Aiken corn-
ty, has not been fully stated. II is said that
25 negroes were killed during Sunday
and Monday last, and that only two
whites are reported killed. Dispatches
received by Gov. Chamberlain and letters
received by Senator Pasterson this morn.
ing state the number Of negroes killed as
varying from 80 to 100, and that no whites
were Killed. The whites were from
Aiken and Barnwell counties, South
Carolina, and Columbia county, Georgia.
II is said in the letters and dispatches
that the pretended cause Of the dis.
turbance was an assault by two coIored
men on white woman whose person they
attempted 10 ravish. One Of the negroes
was killed and the other escaped. Then
followed the slaughter as above related
during the two. subsequent days.

Lewis County Politics.
WESTON, September %.


Editors IntClllgenCCr:
The Democratic Committee took nd
vantage of to.day's emancipation celebra
ton by our colored citizens to send out
for the editication OF all concerned thai
eminent reiormer Mr.. Henry 8. Walker
and detailed as his second fiddle an agent
OF the Tammany ring named General
4. +. Burke. ..s
Burke il not bad fellow. He was Il
Union soldier; and there was percepti'
bic shaking in his nervous system when
Walker paid "a feeling tribute" to the
memory Of that sainted warrior, Thomas
Jonathan Jackson. But, as witty son
Of Erin remarked to Tie writer, "Sure,
an Irishman can tell as big lie as any
other man." This was Mr.. Burke's mis-.
sion. His speech had evidently been
written for him, and he had memorized
It. He talked principally about reform,
but carefully avoided all reference 10 in
come taxes or the statute OF limitations.
He was sent here with an impression
that lie could largely affect the Irish
vote; but, as Peter Dargan said, "the
devil vote did he change"
Walkers speech was a regular KO'
hiuoor diamond. It consisted mainly oI
attacks upon General Goti, and the rela'
ton of story entitled "What l know
about Reform" The Democrats didn't
expect Walker, and didn't want TO have
him speak. But they have a way oI
"putting their foot in Il" to which we dc
not object.
A Hayes, Wheeler and Gor club, mum
bering nearly 200 voters, was organized
during the day.
A good thing occurred after night
Our cornet band, at the solicitation o.
"Ieading Democrats" serenaded the "re'
form" speakers. Walker talked about
the country around him and auld lang
syne, but Burke took occasion to say
that while he appreciated the compliment
Of the serenade, he did not look upon il
as personal matter, but as an endorse
rnent Of the great principles Of "reform'
advocated by Mr.. Walker and himself
He had barely closed his remarks when
some one proposed three cheers fol
Hayes, Wheeler and Golf, and they were
given with vim which made the welkin
ring.
Mr.. William l.. Dunnington is the
UnionI candidate in this county for the
House OF Delegates. He will be elected
without doubt, .
The changes made since Woiindin
chung his gate on the other post" have
been very numerous, and number many
OF our best citizens. We regard this as
fight between two gentlemen, one repre-
scnting the Union-the other JEFF Davis
Confederacy. This is the true issue, and
should DO made in every nook and cor
ner in the State. In your Ohio river
counties you have no idea Of the arrogance
OF the rebel element. We have here plenty
OF representatives OF the "solid South
and they are carrying things along in Q
way that brings wildly back to our mem
ories the days Of '6l. But we expect e
win-should wc fail, rest assured II will
be through no lack Of honest effort or
our part. REPoRrER'

TILE ANNUAL FAIR.
The preparations for the annual fair Of
the St. Louis Agricultural and Mechani-
cal Association, which opens on the ID Of
October and continues one week, are about
completed, and the indications are that
exhibition will exceed in NIL departments
any Of its predecessors. In addition to
the usual exhibit OF live stock, including
many fine horses, there will be mechani-
cal, agricultural, fine arts, textile fab
rics, mineral and other departments, all
Of which promise to be more than full.
A new geological garden will be opened,
with splendid collection Of wild animals
and birds, imported expressly for this
garden. 10 accommodate these animals
the association has erected twelve sepa.
rate and very handsome brick buildings,
designed expressly for the different kinds
Of beasts and birds, at a cost OF 500, 900.
A new mechanical hall, with 10000 feet
OF exhibiting space, has also been built,
and all the other buildings have been
put in complete order. The half mile
track will not be used for racing this
year, but all the contests Of speed will be
made within the ampitheatre, where they
can be witnessed by all the spectators.
The spacious and elegantly embellished
grounds have been put in fine condition.
In fact, everything has been done that
careful attention and money can do to
make the fair exceed anything Of the
kind ever held in this country.

THE TURF.


LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 23.-Unusually
fine sport and large crowd were The
features to-day Of the Louisville Jockey
Club races.
First race-Winburn stakes, dash oi
three.Quarters Of mile, for three.year'
old iiliies. There were three starters
Wis T. P. Harper'a ch. +. Nettie Hale
and &. {. Very Fine, and Keene Richards
Clemmie g. The Harper entries were
the iavorites, but failed TO show up,
Clemmie G. won, with Nettie Hale second
and Very Fine third. Time, lis.
Second race Association purse OF
$500; mile heats, three in five. There
we're two starters, viz: Fair Play and
Phoebe MayAower, the first named being
the fayorite. The first and second heats
were won by Phoebe STayflower, the next
three by Fair Play. This race was very
prettily run, its long duration causing
great interest and excitement. Time,
I:5O3, 1:45, 1:47, l:51, 1:493.
Third race-P0st stakes, all ages, three
miles, Ten Brock and Add, contestants,
They got of well, running two miles side
by side, as in a team together. In the
last mile Ten Broeck led Add several
lengths, winning in the remarkably fast
timo OF 5:26t, u seconds quicker than the
time Of Norfolk at San Francisco in 1865,
which has been untilnow the fastest time
on record.
Ten Brock was to have continued on
the fourth mile in run against lexing-
toms famous record Of 7:l9s, but Old Har-
per, his owner, instructed his jockey to
run only the three miles, on account
Of the wet track. The rider had
nearly two minutes to make the last mile
in an equal time with Lexington, which
he could have beaten with ease. Adds
time was one.quartcr second faster than
Norfolks.
The last race was for the Association
purse, $500; dash two miles; Gut Emmal
and Russ Butler started. The former
won after n close race, with Gut second.
Time, 1881. The iavorites won in all
but the first race.
TEN BRoECK AGAINST TIME.
Thegreat Ten Brock having made the
best three.mile time on record under
pull, will on Wednesday next run against
Fellowcraft's time, the Louisville Jockey
Club giving one thousand dollars il he
accomplishes the feat. The track will
be prepared specially for the race. II
is thought that Crouse's Add, who run
him 10 close on Saturday, will be his
companion in the contest, and the betting
is almost even on Ten Brock against
time. ltalffare arrangements have been
made with all the roads, and parties from
Cincinnati aud Indianapolis can start in
the morning, witness the race, and return
the same evening. Mr.. Harper, his own.
er, has requested Mr.. Richard Ten Brock
to direct the race. The enthusiasm hero
has never been eqnalledsinCe Lexington's
contest in New Orleans.
Era, Shirley, Baden Baden, Belle Of the
Meade, springboch, and .McWhorter, all
winning two.year olds, have dash for a
hundred pounds up, and an extra race
completes the sport on Wednesday.
Mr.. Couse's horse Add will make the
race with Ten Brock against time We'd.
nesday next. The event occasions unu-
sual enthusiasm.
