many Of the visitors toward the project.
which has already been Endorsed by the
Chicago Board of Trade, Of establishing

NORTH CAROLINA NEGROES.

Opening of the Elev zenith Annual Colored
State Fair at raleigh, n. C.-Address
of Governor Fowle-The Feeling Be-
tween Blacks and Whites In the Fine
Tree State.
RALEIGH, N. c.. Oct. 24.-Gove rnor
Fowle yesterday opened the Eleventh an
nual Colored State Fair here, and spoke
to large audience of negroes. Flo re-
ferred to the Chicago negroes action in
appointing a day of fasting and prayer
for the Southern negroes, and said his
auditors were as happy as any people on
the face of the earth and protected in all
their rights, and he pledged the whole
power of the State to be exercised in
their behalf just as much as in behalf Of
the white men. The sentiment of the
negro toward the white man, he said, in
the South, is kindly, and this is recipro-
Gated. Negro schools and asylums in
North Carolina are as we'll cared for as
those of tho whites, The Chicago ne
groes who have sought to set day Of
fasting and humiliation will never enjoy
the same attributes of freedom as the
Moth Carolina negroes. They never
even see the inside of jury box.
The Governor touched upon the negro
exodus, and said negroes were free to go
where they wished and would carry with
them the best wishes of the white people
to whose women and Children they had
been so devoted during the late war, but
they would in going leave the State
where they were better protected and
happier than anywhere else.
Rev. Mr.. Leak. colored, secretary of
the fair, Endorsed Governor Fowle's re-
marks, which we're frequently applauded.
Rev. Leak said that the negroes rights
were more fully protected in North Caro-
lima than anywhere he knew Of. He
heartily denounced the exodus, saying
that negro agents who were urging il
were paid so much per head for each
negro whom they induced to emigrate.

THE GRAND OLD MAN.

Enthuaiastic Reception of MI. Gladstone
at Southport-He Reviews the Course
Of the Liberal Party and Puts in q Few
Hot shots in Behalf of Home-Rule for
Ireland.
SOUTHPORT, Oct. A.-Tbe hall in which
Mr.. Gladstone made his speech here yes.
terday was crowded to suffocation fully
two hours before the great Liberal states
man arrived. On entering the hall he
was created with storm of cheers and
shouts in which every member of the
large and enthusiastic audience joined,
and which was prolonged until the
Grand Old Man had reached the plat
form and waved his hand as a signal for
quiet. After feelingly thanking his au-
dlence for the warm welcome accorded
him, Mr.. Gladstone at once plunged into
the business in hand by presenting to his
hearers an exhaustive review Of the work
for the past twenty-one years of the
great Liberal party, whose candidate he
had como there to support. He spoke Of
the condition of affairs on the Continent
at the present. time, and expressed the
belief that the one formidable menace to
the peace of Europe was the complica-
ton growing out of Turkish misrule in
Crete and Armenia. He could not deny
that crisis in European affairs was i'm
mIuoHt, anu pdlu ulgu tribute 10 Inc
laudable anxiety Of all the powers to
postpone it.
Passing to consideration of affairs in
Ireland, Mr.. Gladstone pointed out that
the principles for which the dockmen in
their recent strike contended were pre-
cisely the same as those for which the
Irish tradesmen and tenantry sought
recognition at the hands of British Par
lament. 1t was absurd to give our SYM
pathies to the one and deny them to the
other. for the two must stand or fall to.
gether. But this was precisely what the
Tory Government had done. While con-
ceding the justice of the dockmen's
claims to a decent living as the fruits Of
their labor, they crowded the Irish pris-
ons with tenants who made the same
claim. He believed that an appeal to the
people. if it could be made tomorrow,
would result in verdict overwhelmingly
in favor of the Liberal policy of justice
to Ireland.
Mr.. Gladstone in concluding stated
that it was impossible at this time to
map out the Liberal policy of the future
within the outlines already known to the
electors.

lions will probably begin next week. Mr..
Spreckels is confident that he will win in
his great fight against the Sugar Trust.

Spreckels; "by February two million
pounds day will be turned out. I have
decided to double the plant, and when
the new buildings are finished, as they
will be before next year, 1 will produce
four million pounds day. New Orleans
will be the next objective point. A re-
finery will be built there with capacity
of a million pounds a day, and when ]

demoralized condition.. There was 6
drop yesterday in the prices Of refined
sugar Of one-eighth o; cent pound.
Every decline Of one-oighth means de.
crease in the income o: the trust of ten
thousand dollars day, look for drop
of one cent a pound in the price Of sugar
in the next thirty days. This means u
decrease Of eighty thousand dollars more

Mr.. Spreckels said that the big drop IN
trust certificates can be accounted soI
from the fact that the trust is loaded ":
With lot Of high-rriced sugar and as

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 23.-For the past few
days number of special correspondents
of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper
Of New York City have been in the city
making careful examinations OF the diff
ferent localities in the western section OF
the city, one of which will, in all proba.
bility, be selected for the Worlds Fair
site. The names of the Eastern CORE.
spondents are D. Leubrie, Robert D..
Owens, R. F. Dundars, s. F. Gartside, A.
B. Bachelor, 7. q. Palmer and w. L.
Chaplin, a special artist. 1t is also learned
that the gentlemen have been sent
here for the purpose Of giving
general description Of st. Louis;
showing her advantages over any
other city, and why she should
be selected by Congress as the
proper place to hold the Worlds Fair.
The public ediices will be illustrated
and general description of Forest Park
and surrounding country will be given SO
as to show the people that St Louis is
the only place able to accommodate the
crowds of people that will attend the
great Exposition. That New York City
is in favor of st. Louis securing the fair
is shown by the publications of New
York City newspapers concerning the
reputation of st. Louis for hospitality
and her capability to accommodate more
people in one day than any other city in
the country.
Mr.. Leubrie, one of the party, in the
course Of a conversation, said: II know
that you will doubt the truth of my state
ment when I say that New York can not
accommodate the crowds of people that
will surely attend the Worlds Fair. The
Weather class of Gothamites don't want
the exhibition; SO far it is only the pro-
prietors of places of amusement sa-
loon keepers and small shop-keep-
ers that have made any effort to raise
the millions required to erect all the nee
essary buildings. The merchants of st.
Louis have won the esteem of the New
Workers by the quiet and business-like
manner they have shown in the fight, and
l can truthfully say that the majority of
the people of the great metropolis are in
favor of your city. We will not quietly
stand by and await results, but we will
do every thing we can to advance your
interests. st. Louis has from the first
worked steadily and increasingly, and
am satisfied that in the end her efforts
will be crowned with success. I have,
in company with several other corre-
spondents, examined the real estate in
terests of st. Louis and we find that the
accommodations for the Worlds fair are
much better than those of Chicago. We
are here not to antagonize Chicago, but
to represent paper which is Of the opin-
ion that st. Louis is the only place for
the Worlds Fair, and to write articles
on the advantages Of the city.

CAST ON THE BEACH.

Some of Which Will Prove Total Loss
The Crews Rescued by the Evanston
Liie-Saving Crew, Composed of Students
of the Northwestern University.
CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-The steamer D.
Ballantine, her consort, the barge IRON
ton, and the tug Protection went ashore
In bunch at Winnetka about ten O'Clock
last night. It was reported that the
schooner America was on the beach not
far from them. The wind was heavy
from the northeast and heavy sea was
rolling when the boats went on. The
weather was also extremely thick. The
tug was following the steamer and tow
into this port. They got too far in and
struck the ledge that runs from Crosse
Point north for many miles. 1t is hard
bottom, and, with the heavy sea running,
the chances are that a serious loss will
result. The tug Butler, which was fol-
lowing the schooner America, was close
by when the three boats struck. The
Butler also ran on the ledge, but worked
herself off, but not without breaking her
shoe. The America disappeared in the
darkness, and up till two O'Clock this
morning had not reached this port. 1t is
thought that she eould not have gotten
out of the trap, and must have fetched up
beyond Crosse Point. Her crew would
be in serious danger. The Ballantine and
Ironton went on broadside. 1t was
thought there was no likelihood of a loss
of life. The Evanston life-saving crew
were notified of the trouble. The Ballan.
tine and the Irontor are owned by VIM.
Mock, Of Cleveland. They were laden
with coal. The Baliantine is valued a,
$40, 900, and the Ironton at $4,000. The
point where the boats struck has been the
scene of many disasters, some of them
attended by heavy loss Of life. At $3.50
this morning the wind was going down,

The negligence of the keeper of the fog

At an inquest in New York over the

".All wires are dangerous. whether
