CASTOR, Promoter of Negro Emigra-
tion to Liberia, Wounded.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 4--BenIamin Gas
ton, the negro who has been leading a
movement for the emigration OF his peo-
pie to Africa for two years past, was at
tackled near Deveaux, in Hanco ok county,
last night and shot in the head His
wound was not serious, but 1t served the
purpose Of his assailants, CASTOR having
shaken the dust Of Hancock county from
his feet.
CASTOR has been operating in Hancock
for three months. His plan was 10 organ
ize his followers into societies, each mem
Der paying so much monthly dues, which
goes toward getting his passage TO Africa.
Frequent meetings of these societies are
held. One of the results Of the
movement has been 10 demoralize
the working negroes. They became lazy
and would DO nothing but attend
Gaston's meetings, which were secret,
only members being allowed TO be present
The better class Of colored citizens, as
we'll as some Of the whites, became tired
of this, and last night mixed party un-
dertook to break up Gaston's meeting.
They fred into the crowd, the fire being
returned. The wife Of a negro named
Jenkins, who was leading the attacking
party, was shot, among a half dozen 9TH
ers, but none killed.

where whole families were swept out of
existence In the twinkling Of an eye. Not
In any one direction, but every part of the
tre-swept district, the finding Of bodies
hourly swells the list. At an early hour
this morning, a rarty of thirty expe-
rlenced wOOdsmen left on special con-
Veyance to scour the woods for bodies of
settlers in out-of-the-way cabins and
clearings. Thev are expected to bring
back appalling reports.
FLAMING MICHIGAN FORESTS.
Detroit, Mich, Sept. A. Dispatches
from the upper peninsular Of Michigan
show that the rainfall in that region
yesterday and last night has effectually
put stop to forest fires and will be the
means of saving millions of pine and lots
OF homesteaders' crops and houses. The
damage already done, however, is i'm
mense, and in many localities total loss
can only be avoided by the immediate
cutting of the timber.
There is considerable evidence that
many of the fires are of incendiary
origin, set by men who knew that the
scOrched pine would have to be cut at
once, thus giving them work. The fires
will also force into the market much pine
that was held by non-lOgginR capitalists
for the purpose of speculation. At any
rate, hundreds OF men will be given i'm
mediate employment.
1t is thought that nearly every foot of
standing pine in Ontanogon county is
burned fully 100000 ,00O feet. The Mes
ter estate has lost 90. 600. 600; Trout Creek
Lumber Company 2O,0O0,OOO; Diamond
Match Company $50, ,OO0,O The bal
ance is owned by homesteaders at Paynes-
Vile and Bruce's crossing.
Many cattle and horses were burned
but no human lives were lost though
there have been many perilous situations
and narrow escapes. The railroads have
large gangs at work repairing road beds
and bridges, and are rapidly getting in
shape TO resume traffic.

II. Gilbert of MuscOgee, and Attorney
General Terrell addressed the largest aud
most enthusiastic gathering Of democrats

many years. Owing TO lack of time At
torney General Terrell did not touch on
the silver or tariff questions Hon j. II.
Pittman interpreted both the Chicago

coinage of silver at ratio
OF l6 TO l. While Hon s. H.

should be maintained, but urged that
there be no divisions among democrats

SOLIDLY DEMOCRATIC.
Increased MajOritieS for the ~Old
Ticket in ias..kaRSaS.

Republi cans Decline to Fuse with
PopuEsts, and Vote for Democratic
Candidates in Preference TO Third
Partyites-Populists Fail to Garry
a County in the state--A Fair Vote
for Remmel, Republican Candidate
for Governor.
Little Rock, Ark, Sept. Returns
from thirty-three counties indicate in
creased democratic maiorities over two
years ago, although the total vote will
likely TO be 20 per cent. less on account of
the new election law. 1t is estimated
that the democratic state ticket is elected
by at least %, 900 majority. Returns show
a decrease in the vote for both the repub-
lican and populist tickets, while the pop
ulists ticket is third in the race. The
republican and populist vote was much
smaller than anticipated. The following
amendments TO the state constitution
were voted on and adopted beyond
doubt:
Amendment No. 3-To empower quorum
courts TO levy a special tax, not exceeding
mills, for the purpose Of building and
repairing public roads jails, bridges and
other internal improvements and for no
other purpose.
Amendment No. ITO abolish special
elections ana to authorize the governor to
fill vacancies in any state, district, county
or township office.
NOT A COUNTY IN ARKANSAS.
AS far as heard from the populists have
not carried single county In the state.
The only showing they made was in Ne
vada county, the home of Congressman
McRae, where they captured a few local
Offices. The majority for the state demo-
cratic ticket will undoubtedly exceed
that Of two years ago. The democrats
have regained a number of counties. REM
mel, republican, will lead Barber, popu-
list, by 2 to !.
Newport the county seat Of Jackson
county, which usuailV gives a democratic
majority of 1900, gave Remmel 81 major
ity yesterday. Newport is Remmol's
home. Chairman Armstrong of the dem
ocratic state central committee stated
tonight that the entire vote of the state
will hardly exceed 10000. Two years ago
1861 votes were cast This county gave
the democratic ticket, 300 majority. Re-
publicans refused to support the populists
and voted for the democrats with the ex-
ception of Kennel, their only nominee.
The total vote of the county was only
3,450, while there we're over $500 poll
taxes paid The state democrats will
have about 25, 900 majority.

London, Sept. 4.-The subscription of
Mr., Gladstone, Lord Tweedmouth and
other English liberals to the Irish parlia-
mentary fund, in response to circular
signed Justin Mccarthy, William
O'Brien, John Dillon and r. p. O'Connor,
has led 10 inquiry, which proves that the
circular is a forgery. designed to compro-
mise the McCarthyites
O'Brien declares that he knows moth
ing about the circular Mccarthy ac-
cepts the responsibility of taking the En-
glish liberals contributions, but repudi-
ates the circular appeal. Dillon writes
that no appeal has been made to any En-
glishman, mucn less to any member
of the government, under the knowl-
edge or approval of the committee of the
Irish party. He declines to express an
opinion as to whether the contributions of
Gladstone and Lord Tweedmouth ought
to be accepted, but expresses hope that
the incident will not increase the scan
dalous wrangles, of which Ireland has be-
come thoroughly sick.
In regard 10 the statement alleged to be
made by Timothy Healy, that the Par
nellttes had been promised $50, 600 out of
the national treasury, John Dillon says it
is an absolute falsehood. Healy. himself,
says he knows that there is not the
slightest foundation for such a statement.
BEND THE KNEE TO ENGLAND.
Dublin, Sept 4.-John e. Redmond,
member of parliament, speaking here TO-
day declared that that great political
crime the abandonment of Parnell, had
resulted in the disruption of the real Irish

England. This generation, he said, would
not see the end of Ireland's suferings.
With the suppression of Parnell, ireland
ceased to have national leader or a ma
tional organization.

demanded of that section of the coun-
try. The authorities of the province,
speaking in the name of the inhabitants,
regard the war-like actions of Japan as
directed against the government and not
against the people of China. On the
contrary the people of Manchuria are in
tensely anti-foreign and urge the most
active opposition to the Japanese. A man
