have been the only European witness of
the trfni and execution by hanging of

ecutsd by order OF Captain Lothaire, the
Belgian commander ct Lindi, Congo Free

Dr. Michaux 10 quoted as saying that on
Jan. 10 OF tho present year Stokes was
brought before an alleged court martial,
Captain Lothaire composing the entire
court and he and the doctor being the only
whites present. The only witnesses were
o few Arabs, who stated they had purN
chased rifles from Stokes. Tho trial lasted
between one and two hours, after which
Captain Lothaire announced that Stokes
was sentenced to death, and that he would
be executed on the following day
Continuing, DIR. Michaux said: Gan
my interoessions were futile Captain

/, little Rock, Oct. 1b-Governor Clarke
yesterday furnished fresh evidApce of his
determination 10 prevent the Corbett-
iFitzsimmons 1ght at Hot Springs, or in
iArkAnsas. A telegram was sent by the
governor 10 Brigadier General John A.
Taylor, Of Forrest City, of the Arkansas
6tats Guard, summoning him 10 confer
snoe at once. The meaning Of the confer
snoe 10 that the governor desires to 40
quaint himself with the available strength
Of the state militia, SO that he may act
knowingly II the situation at Hot Springs
reaches q crisis where the services of the
militia may be required.
According 10 the offers contained in tel
sgrams and letters received at the execu-
tive office Governor Clarke estimates that
the services Of 900 men are at his dis
posal for the purpose Of putting down the
fight II needed. These offers come from all
parts Of the state.
Avigorous discrimination to prevent the
hght Is plainly disoernable In the signih-
can't proceedings at the executive office.
Indeed, Governor Clarke was more en-
phatic than ever today In saying that the
6ght would not be allowed to come off in
Arknasas. He goes SO far as to say that II
Tho affair occurs as advertised, at Hot
Springs, he will resign and try to And an
Office that he can run. The governor says
Corbett and Fitzsimmons have been
warned, and II they now arrive at Hot
Springs bent on the mission Of fighting,
their presence in the city on county will be
Ia or,la ra,A. "A x-xtIl 1xft II
accordingly.
The governor says that he realizes that
Hot Springs Is anxious 10 retrieve Its past
misfortunes, and he would like to holp the
city, but In this instance his duty Is plain,
and he will use his utmost diligence and
power to do what IL is his duty to do. Gov
anor Clarke said he did not want to SEQ
any bloodshed as result Of the pugilists'
refusal TO refrain from making preparn-
Mons to fight. He sincerely hoped IL would
be avoided
The governor finds that the law Of 1901
was not legally enacted, leaving the state
without q law on the subject Of prize fight.
ing. The law Of 1888 in his opinion, in
vests in the executive ample authority for
carrying out tho policy he has decided to
adopt This law does not refor to priza
lights, but rather to riots and rebsllion.
Under its operation the governor is al
lowed almost unlimited latitude, and
could declare the district in which the
disturbance occurs" to be in rebellion
against the state, and could not only drive
out by force all the parties connected with
the disturbance, but could arrest and i'm
prison without process of law.
When questioned In reference to the
proposition to change tho affair into a
glove contest, Governor Clarke said tina,
he could make no distinction between 9
glove contest and prize fight II was q
prize fight no matter what IL was called.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 16.-The first national
purity congress, under the auspices Of the
American Purity alliance, conyenedin this
city last night and viii continus in ses-
sion for three days. Social peforners from
all parts OF the country are present as dele
gates. President Powell, In opening the
meeting, said that the objects Of the CON
gress are: The repression of vice, the
better protection Of the young, the rescue
OF the fallen, to extend the White Cross
work among men, and to proclaim the law
of purity as equally binding upon men
AID women" The speaker declared that
"age Of consent statutes discriminate
against girlhood and In favor OF immoral
men, and arc for the most part q disgrace
to the several states of the Union. He ex-
pressed the hope that tho present congress
would have the effect Of emphasizing the
necessity for o single standard of purity
for both sexes.
"There is no religion said he, "where
there is not purity of thought and life.
-Impurity is the death OF religion. It shuts
tho eyes from seeing God, seals the ear
against any holy affections, and buries out
OF reach oil desires for spiritual assooia-
ciations We are un6inching in our atti-
tudo towards the enemies of virtue, and
have only blows OF indignant wrath for all
who seek to legislate into tho nations life
cursed theories OF protection to crime that
deoenoy and divinity alike condemn. We
hate with increasing feeling the fashions
of society that make cruel discrimination
of sex, that flatter and fawn upon the i'm,
pure man, while loathing tho impure wo-
man, and while we denounce the destruc-
tion OF wonan's imperial modesty In the
adoption Of any custom Of dress or amuse-
ment that dethrones her from her regal
place as head of the home and leader In
the sweet oivilities Of life and companion
In every noble relation, we still have ten
der compassion for all who will return
and be tho fountain of innocence and
abandon all evil ways"
Among the delegates most of whom
have papers on various subjects which
they will read during the conference, are
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Elbridge 7. Gerry,
Anthony Comstock, the Rev Antoinette
Brown Blackwell and scores of others of
