ROASTED ID 4 R|CH BROWN, Philadelphia Fanatics by a Paper
 of Their City VERY NARROW AND UNWISE From Every Point of View Is the Action of
 the Injunction Seekers. LIBERTY BELL BELONGS TO THE NATION And Philadelphia Is Merely Its Custodian, Says the Evening Telegraph-The Proposed Pilgrimage Would Stir
 Up Patriotic Memories.
 
LIBERTY BELL BELONGS TO THE NATION

Philadelphia, Aug. 12.-Regarding the legal proceedings instituted on Saturday for the purpose of preventing the lib- erty bell from being removed from its resting place in Independence hall and taken to the Atlanta Ga, exposition, the Evening Telegraph says editorially:
 Probably in no city but Philadelphia would there have been such an extraor- dinary manifestation of narrowness and unwisdom from every point of view as is involved in the extraordinary action taken by a small number of citizens in good repute in business, but strangely out of sympathy with public sentiment with regard to the proposed visit of the liberty bell to the approaching national exhibition at Atlanta. It is a most sin gular proceeding, and it is difficult for the lay mind to discover upon what grounds coordinate branch of the local government can justly interfere with the prerogative of the legislative and eXecu- tive departments. This is matter which should be decided by those who have already granted permission for the temporary removal of the bell.
 a course Should the court lis ten to such suggestion of the protestors and order the bell to re- main, this would be strange re- fiection upon the judgment of the munic- ipal officers who fully realize all the re- responsibilities of the case, and who will take special care to protect the patriotic relic from all harm during it's temporary location. The bell has been asked for in q spirit of true patriotism, and the re- quest so confidently made has been promptly and cheerfully compiled with.
 People of both sections are ever ready to do homage to the old bell They rsc- ognize the fact hat it belongs to the na- ton, and that Philadelphia is merely it's custodian. The proposed pilgrimage would stir up patriotic memories and serve to promote the public welfare in the widest possible sense, besides af- sording great personal qualification to a arge number of people is4iiAs
 Ln these days many strange things are asked of courts of equity, but these tri- bunals as well as others, have their linn itations, and it is to be hoped the bill filed will be speedily dismissed in kindly but emphatic terms. The bell should go on it's mission of peace, good will and re- union. It will have triumphal journey to the most enterprising city of the south, and the chances are mot one in thou sand that any harm will come to it.

HE WILL NOT LAST LONG.
cAMPoS ARoUsES GREAT INDIGNATION.
Thirty Thousand Insurgents in thu field. Stumbling Block in the Way of
 the Republic.

Quarantine, s. l., Aug. 12.-The Ward line steamer Seneca, from Mexican and Cuban ports, arrived early this morning at Quarantine. One of the Havana pas sengers, in speaking of affairs at that place, says that on August T. the day be- fore the Seneca sailed, Capt.-Gen. Mar tinez Campos called together all of the volunteer organizations and demanded the transfer to the regular army of 10J men from each camp. General indigna- tion prevails among these organizations. but the order will be enforced. The int surrection is more widespread than we of Havana are allowed to believe, and Campos will not last long. He was caught in a bad trap at Bayamo, ana but for the impulsive action of the Gu ban general, Maceo, who precipitated his attack Campos would certainly have been captured. The insurgents win Tn every fight. In the past four months the Spanish forces have lost by disease, drunkenness and killed in battle fully 15000 men. No reports are allowed to be circulated concerning losses in battle, but the authorities admit that in this period 10 coo men have died from disease or excessive indulgence in food or dflnk-
 Thirty thousand insurgents are known to be in the field, oVerrunning the coun- try and making their camps in the moun-
 
 to strike a blow and return to camp, de- pending on their rapid movements to disconcert the enemy. They have been asked by sympathizers of the revolutions. of whom there are about 5000 in the city and suburbs of Havana, why they do not capture and occupy Santiago or some other important city. This, they claim, they could do, but their plans as to the. future would not permit. That is to say, a large majority of the inhabitants of Cuba are negroes, and independence would mean negro government.
 If independence could be secured With the establishn ent of protectorate un- der the United States or some other strong government then the question would soon be settled Failing in this, the general desire is to secure home rule from the mother country. The capture of an important sea coast town would be followed by the recognition of their rights as belligerents.
 Until some definite plan can be settled the guerrilla warfare will be continued. A large majority of the people are hoping for a concession from Spain in preference to independence, as the feasibility of republic without negro nomination would be difficult to obtain.

NEGROES BROKE AND RAN
When the Militia Began Firing-Rot at Win
 ston. N. C.

Winston, N. C., Aug 12.-A riot be- tween whites and blacks, which came near terminating seriously, occurred here last night
 The trouble originated over a report given out about 2 o'clock at all of the colored churches that a crowd of whites were going to lynch Arthur Futile, who is being tried here for the murder of Po- liceman Vickers last May The negroes organized into band numbering some 100 and marched to the jail, where they remained for several hours. They were armed with pistols and guEs
 Mayor Gray addressed the negroes as- surfing them that there was no danger of lynching and begging them to dis perse Sheriff McArthur and two Win ston lawyers also urged the band to go away, telling them there was no occasion for their conduct. Judge Brown, who IS holding court, was next upon the scene. He notified the negroes they were volat- ing the law; that Futile was getting fair trial and that he would be responsi- ble for his protection. The negroes told his honor they would disperse if the sher- if would place twenty officers on guard around the jail This was done, but many of the mob refused to leave
 Sheriff McArthur, in response to an order from Judge Brown called out the Y uties. His honor instructed the sheriff to arrest all negroes who refused to dis perse. The mob began firing on the whites, several officers being struck with small bird shot, but none were hurt seriously. Some fifteen shots were fired by the Rif1emen and negroes, but not one was killed. The negroes broke and ran when the militia began shooting.
 Fourteen of the rioters are in jail. Ev- erything is quiet now. The trial of Futile will probably be concluded this evening.
 Upon the assembling of court Judge Brown summoned the grand jury before him and instructed them to investigate who was responsible for last nights riot and see that they were punished Win ston's city fathers today instructed May or Gray to order a Calling gun from Charlotte and ask the authorities there to send man to operate it. The mayor, chief of police and sheriff were also in- structed to make all necessary arrange ments for the protection of the city to- night and to procure all arms and ann munition needed

It now seems probable that Topeka
will have an opportunity of seeing some
of the best football games in the west,
although we shall not have team. A
movement is on foot among several bust
ness men to bring some of the big con-
tests of the state to Topeka. They be-
lieve that such a venture would be pay
ing one, enthused as Topeka is over the
game,
If arrangements are made with the big
teams, as at present desired, the games
will be played at Athletic park
This is football field with few equals.
The field is as level as any in the west,
giving scarcely any choice of sides and
uphill and downhill playing. 1t is
better than McCook field at Lawrence
for the reason that it is covered by grass,
while the Lawrence gridiron is perfectly
bare, dry, hard and dusty. 1t should be
easy to secure good teams to play at the
park If enough money is offered, for the
men would stand little chance of injury,
which means everything to big teams in
training
1t seems that there could scarcely 6e a
better business venture than this. To-
peka is really interested in the game.
No good football has ever boon seen here
and If games were brought here worthy
of public patronage the result should
certainly be gratifying to the prof

than having a local team for it will
