THE ANTI-RUssELL MEETING

The meeting called by a number OF
leading colored citizens to protest
against the nomination or election OF
Daniel L. Russell will be called to or
der in Metropolitan Hall at noon to-
morrow Thursday.
The promoters look for a large
crowd, as they say the negroes are in
tensely opposed to the nomination OF
Russell.
Letters have been received from
sixty-five counties from which dele
gates have been appointed. The prin-
cipal difficulty in holding the conven-
ton, is the cost Of getting TO Raleigh
and back home again. Many Of those
who wish to attend are kept at home
by lack of funds sufficient to enable
them to come to Raleigh, and the con
vention.
Many of the leading colored men in
the State are in this movement of pro-
test against Russell.
They cannot forget the vile words
he flung at them.

STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS
Cornelius Vanderbilt Lying at the Point
of Death
Worry Over His Sons Determination to
Marry Without His Consent Thought
to Be the Cause

NEW YORK, July 15-The World this
morning says:
Cornelius Vanderbilt, ST., came to
town from Newport on Monday to see
his son and to take him back to New
port if his condition permitted. He
found his son convalescent but sud-
denly became very i'll himself Mes
sengers were sent to Drs. Draper, De-
lafield and McClain, who at once went
to the house. Mr. Vanderbilt's condi-
ton became worse yesterday. Early
in the evening passersby at the Wander
bilt mansion We're surprised to see parts
of Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh
street strewn with tanbark. Everyone
in the house was reticent as to the ma
ture of Mr.. Vanderbits illness al
though it is believed to be a light at
tack of paralysis , caused by worry
over his sons approaching marriage to
Miss Wilson. At first no one would
admit that Mr.. Vanderbilt was i'll, but
when the tanbark was spread around the
house, they reluctantly confessed SO
ill was he yesterday that Cornelius Van
derbilt. jr., did not go out at all. but
remained with his father. Mrs. Wander
bilt and her daughter are at the Break
ers, but are expected in town today.
1t is feared that his sons decision to
marry. with or without his consent,
has worried Mr.. Vanderbilt so much that
it has brought on a paralytic stroke.
Young Mr.. Vanderbilt drove in Cen
tral park with Miss Wilson on Monday
for the first ime since the attack of in
flammatory rheumatism compelled him
to put off his approaching marriage.
The marriage, which it was expected
would take place this week, will be post
poned until his fathers health is re-
stored

1t is industrial ruin. The mad rivalry

an enormous increase in our naval esti-

from the huge waste caused by increased
armaments on sea and land Germany, to
whose aggressive policy it is all due, suf.
fers most. In 1865, the year before the
Prussian war against Austria the total
expenditure on land and sea forces Of what
Is now the German empire was 50, 900 600.
In 1879 1t was :e21 $50, 900, and it has
been increasing by leads and bounds ever
since. In 1865 the French expenditure
was 2l7, 800, 900; in 1879, a27, 100000. In
1855 Great Britain spent 927, 900, 900; in

by Churea, and, armed with a good

was So years old. Further than this he
would not talk and refused to answer
