NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
A secr5t Session Held in New York
 Today.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The full cam paign machinery of the silver parties has been set in motion and within a few days will be spreading white metal doctrines broadcast over the land from a national headquarters to be selected by the national Demo cratic committee which went into session behind closed doors shortly afternoon today. The meeting is being held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and the roll call by Secretary Walsh showed plenary session. Besides the regular committeeman there were in attendance a number of men who stand high in the coun- eiIs of the Democratic and Populist parties and it is expected also that William J. Bryan will find time to participate in the delioera- tions should the preparation Of his sneech of acceptance permit hlm a few moments leisure. This is the first full meeting of the committee since the Chicago convention and as a natural consequence there IS vast amount of important work for 1t TO transact. The first matter, of course is tbe selection of place for head and after this has been dis posed of the plans for the campaign
 
 will be gone into in detail. Ihe gen eral opinion is that Washington will be chosen as headquarters, and possibly a branch to cover the West and Southwest will be thought ad- visable at Chicago. This is In accordance with the expressed opln- inn of Chairman Jones who objects strenuously to New York on the around that tho newspapers of the metropolis, regardless of party . af,iHafions, do not seem disposed to

PERHAPS FATALLY WOUNDED
Nephew of Judge w. E. Hemingway
 Shot at Santa Fe, N. M.

News of the perhaps ia tai wound ing of ". $. Hemingway, nephew of Judge W. F. Hemingway, Of this city. at Santa Fe, N. NJ, was received here yes esterday, says the Arkansas Gazette. A special from Memphis, Tenn, tells the news in detail as fol- lows: Mrs. E. G. Hemingway and Miss Hemingway, of Carrolltoh, Miss, sister and niece, respectfully, of Senator J. z. George, of that State passed through here today en route to Santa Fe, N. M., on an ex- tremely melancholy mission It..was to be at the bedside of a son and brother, who was probably mortally wounded last Friday night in either q peculiarly accidental or an atro- ciously designed manner.
 The name of the wounded man is w. $. Hemingway, 9 years old. yet one of the most prominent and promising lawyers of that territory. AS explained by brother of the young man here today, and made known to him by wire, Hemingway was in the midst of stirring speech before a Bryan ratification audience of 1000, having just finished the fol- lowing sentence when struck in the abdomen with a bullet fired from the lasNiienceb by party as yet unknown: I Bryan wants no money, but desires the honest expression of the Ameri- can people on the money question.
 Since the infiiction of the wound he has been unconscious. Hemingway went to Santa Fe some eighteen months ago. He is assistant to United States District Attorney William E. ChildIess, and at the meeting at which he was shot many of the prominent men of that city and section had spoken in support of the Democratic National ticket. Yaung Hemingway is nephew Of Judge Wilson Hemingway, of Little Rock, also of the former state treas- urer of Mississippi. His father, J. E. H. Hemingway, was Uuited States district attorney at Santa Fe, but died last May.

A TRIPLE LYNcHlNG.
Three Itaiians Hanged In Louisisns For
 Murder by 8 Mob.

Murder by Mob.
 HAHNvILLE, La., Aug. 1i.-There was triple lynching here at i2 o'clock Saturday night. and Sunday morning the bodies of three Italian murderers were found swinging from the rafters of shed near the courthouse. One of the men was Lorenzo Saiadino. who so foully assassinated Jules Gueymard at Freetown last Tuesday night, and the other two were Decino Sorcoro and An gelo Marcuso. who murdered an old Spaniard on the Ashton plantation, near Boutte station, 8 few weeks ago.
 Ever since the murder of Gueymard this parish has been in a fever heat of excitement over the affair and even on the first night after the murder it was with great difficulty that the sheriff prevented the lynching of Saladino. He spirited him away in the woods and kept him there over night and then the next day took him to the new jail in Hahnville. In the meantime the eyi- dence grew against him and popular feeling correspondingly grew in inten- sity.
 About II o'clock Saturday night the mob, which had concentrated on the outskirts of town, began to move on the jail. They captured the old negro guard and by the vigorous use of axes, with which they were well supplied, soon demolished the jail and cell doors and took the prisoners out and executed them

SPEAKER CRISP DEAD.
A Distinguished Southern States
man Gone to His Rest.


ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 23.-Charles f.
Crisp, ex-Speaker of the House OF
Representatives, died here this alter.
noon. He has been i'll ever since his
joint debate on the currency ques-
ton with ex-Secretary OF the Inter
ior, Hoke Smith.
Charles Frederick Crisp was born
on the Doth OF January, 1916, in
Sheffield, England, where his par
ents had gone on a visit; was
brought by them to this country the
year OF his birth; received a com
mon school education in Savannah

federate army in May, 1861; was a
Lieutenant in Company X, Tenth
Virginia Infantry, and served with
that regiment until May II, 1864,
when he became prisoner Of war;
upon his release from Fort Delaware
in June, 1865, he joined his parents
at Ellsville, Sibley county, Ca; read
law in Americas, and was admitted
to the bar there in 1866; began the
practice OF law in Ellaville, Ca, in
1872; was appointed Solicitor. Gen

HONEST POLITICS.
The Republican Manager Issues
Manifesto for To-day's Election

~AAASSSO AVA 4SiOStiOh
CHICAGO, Oct. 2l.-Chairman
Hanna of the Republican National
Committee this morning gave to the
public the following announcement:
"The manifest policy OF the silver
Democratic managers in this csm-
paign, as set forth by their caud-
date for President shortly after his
nomination, has been to create the
belief in the minds OF the working
men that they were being coerced
by their employers to vote contrary
to their convictions.
"The Chairman of their National
Committee, Hon. James X. Jones,
has emphasized this policy in pro
clamation in which he boldly charges
the employing classes of the coun-
try with having entered into con-
spiracy to coerce the employers into
voting contrary to their opinions.
"This is very grave charge, and
it has now assumed form that
justifies giving it some attention.
1t is an insult both to the employer
and employee. We do not believe
the one is despotic enough to at
tempt to coerce, or the other is 80
cringing as to be coerced. EN-
ployees and employers are all free
American citizens knowing their
rights and capable of asserting and
maintaining them.
$50 coerce a voter is a crime
against the laws OF the land, aud if
Messrs. Bryan aud Jones know OF
any coercing they made themselves
accomplices OF the crime by not in.
forming the proper authorities and
taking steps for prosecution. 1t has
been the policy of tho Republican
party since its organization to pro-
tect every citizen in the exercise OF
his elective franchise, and it will still
adhere to that policy.
"While we consider the charge alb
surd, and believe that American
workingmen aud employers are too
independent and patriotic to be
coerced or to coerca, the Republican
ed attack on that town, was merely
a feint of the rebel leader to concen-
trate the Spanish troops at that
point.

Maceo's followers then made de-

appeared at Artemisa, a central post
on the line OF the Trocha The in.
surgent chief sent word to the com
mandante that he intended to bonn
bard the town, giving the inhabit-
ants five hours ia which to leave the
city. Not needing Maceo's threats,
the Spanish would permit no one to
leave, Maceo opened fire on the
town with his artillery and thirty
shots from rebel dynamite gun
were thrown into the city. Every
building is said to have been leveled,
while the slaughter of non-combat-
ants was appalling. During the
carnage Maceo and his followers
crossed the line of the Trocba into
