Special Dispatch to The Call

NEWBERN, N. c., Nov. 3.-This Sec
ton is the center of negro domination
in North Carolina, f1fty-six offices in
this city and county being held by
blacks. Democrats have for months
been chafing under the yoke. but a
clash has been avoided.
The closing of the campaign, how
ever, brings a remarkable change in
duced by the incendiary methods of the
negroes and their white Republican
leaders. Every night for week negro
mass meetings have been held. and
speakers, fired by the news of trouble
in other sections Of the State, have ad-
vised every kind of lawlessness. even
to bloodshed on election day.
At a meeting of white citizens TO-DAY
a plan was suggested to seize the pup
lie halls and prevent further demon

The demand for guns and ammunl-

Donald in Speedy Battle
of Six Rounds.

Two knockouts in the three bouts was
the excellent entertainment which the
Merchants Athletic Club presented the
large crowd of lovers of the manly art
which filled the rooms of the club on
Davis street last evening. The club is
comparatively new, but ever since its or
ganization has been making friends and
is rapidly becoming one of the best liked
associations of its kind in the city.
The principal event last night was an
Battle-Ground go between Jack Mcdonald
of the Princeton Athletic Club and Pat
Lynch, the champion of the Excelsior
Club 1t was refereed by Joe Rea. A right
cross on the point of the -aw laid Lynch
out in the sixth round. Throughout the
bout the fighting was fast and furious,
both. men receiving considerable punish
ment Mcdonald had a trifie the best OF
it during all of the rounds, using short
arm body blows with great effect,
julius Tillman of the Merchants Club
knocked out Charles Emmons of the same
club in the second round of the four
round bout, which opened the evening $
entertainment. Emmons acted queeriy
when he entered the ring, and was out OF
the fight from the start Joe Gagliardo

GUNS SHIPPED TO SCENE
OF THE RACE TROUBLES

RICHMOND, w. Va, Nov. s.-Gun
stores here have shipped many rifles
and large quantities of ammunition to
the section of North Carolina where
race troubles are now rife. One firm
shipped seventy-f1ve rifles in two days
and others have sent large orders. Most
of these are being sent to Eastern Caro-
lima, where trouble is feared on and
before election day. The men who are
buying have been very quiet in their
purchases, but it is thought most OF the
weapons are being sent to whites. Eff
forts were made by negroes to buy
rifles in Norfolk, but they were refused.

the demand. acquisitions for supplies
met many obstacles. The railroads
were said to be unable to carry gooas.
Then the equipment of the Flrst corps
before the Third was given as a rea-
son why supplies could not be Iur-
nished
The witness, being asked his own
opinion about the great amount OF SICK
ness at Chickamauga, said he thoasnl
that two-thirds of it was due TO negH-
gence of the men themselves In MS
own command men who were temper
ate and reasonably careful or their
health kept healthy. Many or them
drank stale beer after hot drills ana
would lie about, cooling off suddenly.
There was a vast amount of unwhole-
some food and drink sold by hucksters
until they were prohibited. The witness
cited the Eighth and Ninth New YORK
Regiments, which had canteens. and ne
said almost the entire regiments We're
stricken by disease.
This witness also read the statement
of Captain Charles Price of the Second
Kentucky, who told of hearing shrieks
from the Ninth New York ward, and
upon investigating he found that
Major Hubbard was trying to admin
lister medicine to patient. The major
was brutal. Price interfered ana
Hubbard said that was the only way to
he gave was that the patient refused to
take the medicine.
The reading was at this point inter-
rupted by the appearance of Captain
Price and he was examined He teSti-
fed that on one occasion when he went
to the hospital to see one of his men,
who was i'll with measles, he was in
formed that the patient had been de-
tailed to carry water. The measles
wards were crowded, the men being
packed in like sardines. The same was
true of the typhoid and malarial wards.
The witness in describing the action of
Major Hubbard said that he choked the
patient and forcibly pressed him down
on the cot. He then caught the pa
tents hands and wrenched them until
the poor man shrieked with pain. At
this point the witness said to Hub
bard:
IT do not know your name or your
rank, but this brutality must STOP
Hubbard did not stop, but said some
thing about showing patient how to
refuse to take medicine.
Captain Price said he made 1t point
to go every day to the hospital to see
about treatment of the men of his COM
pany and he found that in that way his
men were not permitted to suffer.

TUG AND SHIP IN DANGER
CLOSE CALL OF THE SIR ROBERT
FERNIE.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

TACOMA, Nov 3.-During the severe
gale last night the British ship Sr
Robert Fernie was blown ashore on the
north side of Tacoma Harbor ana came .
very near sustaining serious damage.
Thrice she sent up signal rocKets oA
distress and the tug Fairfield nad the
hardest job she ever encountered IA
keeping the Fernie away from sno1o
after getting hawsers aboard her.
The Fernie's predicament last even
ing was caused by her buoy moorlngs
going adrift To make matters worse
her steam winch, recently broken at
Port Townsend, was undergoing repairs
and she was unable to drop or hoist
anchor. Captain Cannon sent UP signal
rockets as soon as he found himself
adrift realizing that his ship, valued
at $4,000, and 10000 tons of wheat be-
meath her matches were in a perilous
situation. She was rapidly blown across
the harbor by the southwest wind,
blowing at velocity of tWenty-slx
miles an hour. The Fernie's keel was
commencing to touch the mud hats on
the opposite shore when the tug F'air-
field came bounding through the waves
with seas constantly breaking over her
stern.

ing the tug tussled with the elements
in her efforts to keep the heavily laden
clipper from going hard aground. To-
ward IL O'clock it seemed. that the
struggle was to prove futile, the Fernie
gradually nearing the beach. Then
came a lull in the gale and the Fair
field gained about a quarter Of mile
! to windward-
The storm, however, came on with re-
newed violence and again ship and tug
! dragged toward the beach: This was
the most critical moment of the night.
| One of the ships lifeboats was lowered
! and with five men at the. oars and the
| tugs mate steering started for Tacoma
to obtain assistance, The boat was two
hours in pulling across the hay against
| wind and sea, only to find the fires
| banked aboard every tug at. the docks.
| BY this time the Fernie was again
close in to the beach and rockets we're
/ again sent UP. Another lun enabled
| the tug and ship to pull out a half
mile and the balance Of the night was
spent keeping the ship away from the
shore 1t was daylight before the Fer
ME was safely locked. Captain Cannon
says it was the narrowest escape he
ever had. g;
The Fernie is chartered by Balfour,
Guthrie e. Co and will sail in a few
days for Europe .T-tz

Buggy MANDAMUsED.
Two Writs Asked For to Compel Him

to Perform Specific Acts.
Two petitions for alternate writs of
mandate to compel Registrar Biggy to
perform specific acts which he has re-
fused TO perform were filed yesterday.
FinIay Cook, Democratic. Peoples Par
ty and Non-Partisan candidate for Police
Judge, asks that the Registrar be com
PEELED to send sample ballots to all voters
of San Francisco containing the fact that
he is a nominee Of the Citizens Non-Par-
tisan party. Through some error when
the sample ballots were issued 1T was
found that Cook S nomination by the Nom
Partisan party did not appear. He de-
manded that new ballots be issued with
the correction, but .Biggy, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Election Commas
sioners Authorized the issuance of new bal
lots. refused to do as directed. Hence the
action for a writ of mandate.
Charles II. Murray has mandamused
the Registrar to compel him to place his
name on the register that he may not be
deprived of the right of suffrage on No
yeTnber s. Murray states that during the
months set aside for registration he was
on the high seas as an engineer on the
United States transport Senator. On his
return the Registrar refused TO place his
name on the register, thereby. denying
him the right to vote. The writ will be
heard by Judge Dunno to-day.

passed yesterday by Judge Butler in the

Joseph Wilkins and Howard Butler, of
this city, for violations of the laws and

two important lessons. In the first place
they show thar the power which has here
tofore been potent enough to influence the
condoning Of such offenses by the authori-
ties of the Internal Revenue Bureau and
the Treasury Department can no longer be
depended upon to protect persistent vio-
lators of the oleomargarine laws and they
pointedly warn the dealers in this product
that only a proper regard for the law and
regulations governing 1t will assure them
safety from punishment similar to that
visited upCn Wilkins and Butler In the
second place the result of the trial in Phil
adelphia refutes beyond all question the
continued representation on the part of
the authorities of the Internal Revenue
Bureau that the policy of compromising
with confessed v.olators of the oleomarxa-
rine laws has been based upon the fact
that 1t was difficult to convict such men,
The Internal Revenue Bureau can no longer
repeat this oft reiterated plea The case
OF Wilkins and Butler puts upon that Bu-

branch the absolute necessity of here

The Pre.idenr. Gre.. Responsibility.

The position which the President now
occupies in the controversy between this
government and Spain is one of the great
est responsibility. He stands, in the most
complete sense, for all the people of the
United States. Their representatives in
Congress. without a dissenting voice, have
expressed the fullest confidence in both
his patriotism and his Judgment, and
charged him with the duty of putting the
country in a condition for war. Such ex-
cellent progress has been made with the
work that those best qualified to speak on
the subject express the opinion that If war
were to come tomorrow the United States
would be found ready for the emergency.
But while the country has been equipped
for war, and stands ready to respond to
. just call to arms. there has been 10
declaration Of war. There is, on the con-
trary. a manly and fervent hope that war
may with honor be avoided. The repre-
sentative people of the United States have
never staggered, and show no signs of
staggering now. They have been pro-
foundry moved by Spain's crimes against
humanity in Cuba and by the destruction
OF the Maine, but at no time have they
abandoned themselves to a PASSIONATE de-
mand for bloodshed or revenge.
This is worthy of remembrance now,
when the time for whatever action is to
be taken is SO near at hand. The report of
the court of inquiry in the case of the
Maine is about ready for delivery. The
document. 1t Is expected, will be placed
In the Presidents hands early next week,
and upon his decision as to what steps its
contents impose as a DUTY on this govern
ment very much depends
1t is superf1uous to eulogize the Presi-
dent. He stards for character, dignity,
conservatism, patience and Justice His
conduct since the Cuban situation became
acute has commanded the admiration of
all the world and been the source of great
est pride to his countrymen. And, as for
that honiely but sturdy quality of sand,
If the a6age is true that in the matter of
such qualities the boy is father to the
man. surely the boy who .shouldered his
gun and went to the defense of his coun-
try against domestic foes vouches eIo-
quently for the man who In his mature
powers fills the highest office in the gift
of the reunited people.
