noon programme was repeated, but the special feature of the evening was the rendering by Bennett's band, by re- quest, of the 'tMiserere," II Trovatore (VerdD. The artistic treatment of this masterpiece was received with the widest applause, and it had to be re- peated before the audience was satis- fled. The cornet and trombone solos were sustained by Messrs. Rogers and Tobin. The theme proper was devel- oped with that perfect regard for time and phrasing that add so materially to the continuation of it's difficult finale

Riots in North Carolina.

WILMINGTON, N G, Nov. 10 -Hur-
dreds OF white men heavily armed are
patrolng the city this morning. Elk
element is at fever heat.
At 8 o'clock this morning about 200
armed white men burned the building
occupied by the famous Record news
paper, whose ipfammatory articles
during the campaign melted the wrath
of the whites. The entire building,
with the outfit of the newspaper, was
destroyed. At the appointed time-9
o'clock this morning--giVen by the
whites for an answer to the demand
,ade upon the negroes for the removal
Of the newspaper from this city,
al i the latter failing to yield,
tb summary action was taken. The
Re. ord building was situated in
densely populated negro locality. When
it was fired the negroes living in the
vicinity abandoned their homes and
fed. False reports of riot and blood
shed soon reached the ears of the sew
eral hundred negro laoorers employed
on one of the cotton congresses, where.
upon they quit work and started to the
scene of trouble. They were stopped by
body of white nen and compelled to
rsturn quietly to work, Manley, the
negro editor of the Record, is nowhere
to be found, and leaders have advised
/ the whites to shoot him on sight. Bust
ness has practically been abandoned
throughout the city and the whites are
parading the streets armed with pistols
and guns while the military companies
stand ready for action at moments
notice. Thus far to-day one white
man has been wounded and three negro
men have been killed.
WILMINGTON, N. c., Nov. 10.-A
riot is now in progress here. Eight
negroes and one white man are report.
ed killed and a score or more are
wounded. South Carolina has been
asked to send aid. The negroes are at
tempting to burn the city and reign
of terror prevails. The mayor and city
officials have escaped. The "red
shirts" are disarming the negroes
everywhere as they meet them. Spe
cial trains are being run into Whining
ton with reinforcements of arms.

Control ofthe Next CONGRESS-.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 Returns from
the West last night have radically
changed the complexion ofaffairs SO far
as the House OF Representatives is con-
earned. The indications this morning
are that the republicans will retain con-
troll of the House by slender ma
jority over all opposition forces. The
latest figures give the republicans 1S3
members, democrats 164 and all other
10. This shows republican majority
of nine, which may be increased by
later returns. A curious feature of the
Congressional election is that the re-
publieaus lost heavily in the East,
where so-called sound money sentiment
is strongest. But for republican gains
in the populist and free silver communi-
ties of the West, the allied forces would
have been in complete control of the
House. Up to late hour yesterday
afternoon, it looked as if this would be
the case. The republicans will have
complete control in Congress, as they
will have good majority in the Senate
without doubt.

THE ELECTIONS.

While the democrats made distinct
gains in the Congressional fights, on
Tuesday, the republicans were gene
rally victorious in the State fights,
electing many governors and legisla-
lures that elect Senators. The demo
Gratis as stated yesterday swept the
south. The republicans carried New
England, but by reduced majorities.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt's plurality for
governor of New York will probably be
$4,000. Timothy l.. Woodruff, for
acknowledgement, seems to have run
about 10, 900 votes behind his ticket in
the State, although he and all the other
republican candidates are elected. The
legislature is strongly republican and
there is likely to be lively contest
over the United States Senatorship TO
succeed Murphy. Col. Roosevelt is be-
ing discussed as a presidential posi-
bility in 1900, although the republican
organization in New York State has
been understood to be under quasi
agreement to throw its support to Presi-
dent Mckinley in the next national
convention.
AT an early hour tnlS morning the
election returns indicated that the
House OF Representatives would be
closely divided between the republicans
and the combined opposition.
Figures compiled from the latest re.
turns indicate republican majority of
three over all. These figures are sub
ject to change.
The present House has 206 republi-
cans, 122 democrats, 90 populist and 5
silver republicans, arepublican majority
OF Sc.
The Senate after March 4, 1899, will
probably stand: Republicans, 81; demo-
Gratis, %; populists, 4; silver republicans,
1. The Senate at present has 43 re-
Dublicans, "a democrats, 5 populists and
7 silver republicans, al opposition ma
jority of3.
An analysis of the party changes in
the Senate by the election results
shows that the republicans gain eight
seats lin California. Delaware, Indiana,
Nebraska, New Jersey, New York,
North Dakota, and wisconsin,, and
may gain another in West Virginia.

EXCITEMENT IN NORTH CARO-
LIMA

Wilmington, N. c., was in an excep-
tioually high state of excitement last
night. Editor Manly, of the Record,
Wilmington's negro daily, who was or
dered to leave the city within twenty
four hours, has complied with the or
der. Another resolution recited .nat
the mayor and chief of police having
demonstrated their incapacitv and
their continuance in Office being mel
ace, they should resign. They refused
to do so. Last night there was con-
ference between number of infuen.
tial negroes and it was agreed that the
negroes were to give the committee an
answer at a. m. to-day as to whether
or not the demands of the resolution
will be complied with.
A great sensation was created about
9 o'clock when party of negroes fired
upon street car on which were num-
Der of passengers. Very soon fully 800
men with Winchesters were on the
scene, but the negroes made good
their escape.
At S o'clock this morning no less
than 500 determined and armed citi.
zens were to gather at the Light In

negroes, and, if necessary, go at once

THE VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.

AS stated yesterday the democrats Of
Virginia will have solid delegation in
the next House of Representatives.
Fuller returns from the Ninth district
assure the election of Judge Rhea by g
very decided majority. His majority
over General Walker, his republican
opponent, will be about 1900 The re-
publican leaders in Virginia take their
defeat with good grace. and, with the
possible exception of the Fifth, Ninth
and Tenth districts, are not at all dis
appointed at the result.
The big majority by which Swanson
is re elected in the Fifth district is
highly gratifying to the democratic
leaders. The republicans made strong
fight out there, and at one time it was
thought that the democratic candidate
would not win out by more than a per-
fectly safe majority.
The democrats also elected the three
Senators to fill vacancies. The new
Senators are Charles E McCorkle, of
Rookbridge; G. Harding Walker, of
King George, and B. W. L Blauton, OF
of Cumberland. Although the vote
generally was small the democratic ma.
jorities were quite large, ranging from
1000 OR 500 for Rhea in the Tenth up
to $1,000 for Otey in the Sixth and 5000
for Rixey in the Eighth. This will he
the first solid delegation the Virginia
democrats have had in Congress in six
years.
The following is an estimate of the
democratic majorities in each Congress
ional district in this State: First dis
trict, Jones, 5000; Second, Young,
1000; Third, Lamb, $500; Fourth,
Epes, 2,700; Fifth, Swanson, $500;
Sixth, Otey, $500; Seventh, Hay, 1000;
Eighth, Rizey, 5000; Ninth, Rhes,
1900; Tenth, Quarles, $500.
