fore the local magistrate by an officer
of the Miners Union, charging President
Loucks, Manager Lukens and others with

allow several guards who had been em-
ployed by the coal company to depart

they might be needed as witnesses.

came up on the train carrying the blacks

the Coliseum.
st. Louis, Mo-, October 14.-President
Mckinley was to-day the guest of st.
Louis, the city in which, two years ago,
he received the nomination to his present
high office.
From the time of his arrival until II
d. m, when the President left the city
he was accorded an almost continuous
ovation. At the Southern Hotel where
he was entertained he stopped and re-
viewed the parade given in his honor and
later held reception in the parlors.
Tonight at the Coliseum the greatest
throng of people addressed by President
Mckinley under cover thus far during
greeting.
He said in parte:
''1'he people have borne the additional
taxation made necessary by the war
with the same degree of patriotism that
characterized the soldier who enlisted to
fight the country's battles. We have
not only prospered in every material
sense, but we have established a senti-
ment of good feeling and a spirit of
brotherhood slAh as the nation has not
enjoyed since the earlier years of its
history. Not since the beginning of the
agitation of the question of slavery has
there been such a common bond in name
and purpose.
1--WE must guard this restored union
with jealous and sacred care. and, while
awaiting the settlements of the war and
meeting the problems which will fol-
low. we must stand as one man, not
in the spirit or party but united in a com
mon effort for that which will give to the
nation its widest influence in its sphere
Of activity and usefulness to which the
war has assigned it. Let nothing distract
us; let no discordant voice intrude to
embarraSs us in the solution of the
mighty problems which involve such vast
consequences to ourselves and prosperity.
Let MS remember that God beStows upon
no nation supreme opportunity which is
not ready to respond to the call of SUI
preme duty"
Tired out with his days experiences the
President and party left at II o'clock
for Terre Haute, Ind, the NEXT stopping

The Republican Senatorial convention

the purpose of nominating candidates.
Logc Harris and John X. Smith, of
Raleigh, were here in full force in the
interest of Rev. BHylus Cade, but for
some reason this plan did not meet Lee

truth that thc Republicans Of Nash
county dare not act without first consult
ing the wishes of Lee Person, the
Edgccombe negro Senator.
Tuesdays proceedings was no eXccp-
ton to the rule. Caucuscs were held by
the Rep-popS. all day some favoring
one plan and some another, but mes
sengers from every caucus consulted
Lee before anything definite was done.

ces were settled and Edwards, Repub-

from Wilson were nominated. clark Is

If there is any one who doubts there
is danger of negro supremacy, if he

minds have materially changed from
what they are at present.
