Warships Being Modified as
Rapidly as Possible.

London, Oct. 31.-There was an
unexpectedly gloomy feeling this
morning on the stock exchange and
the Paris bourse, both these markets
being Influenced, it is inferred, from
the aggressive tone of some of the
French papers. Besides. shis. some
thing extraordinary seems to have
happened and it looks as if crisis
were approaching. The British naval
preparations are certainly being push
ed with great activity. The British
emergency squadron is gathering at
Davenport with all possible speed.
Seven battleships and one cruiser
have been thus far designated to join
this squadron. Officers and sailors
have been hurriedly recalled from
leave of absence and several battle
ships and cruisers at Portsmouth are
taking their full crews on board, and
other warlike preparations are being
made
A number of signal men, now on
duty in the British channel squadron,
which arrived at Gibraltar this morn.

vice, it is presumed, on board the
auxiliary cruisers if the latter should
be required for active service
A sensation has been caused by the
arrest this morning Of supposed Rus
sian spy at fort pear Harwlcb. The
man was already under surveillance
and went to a redoubt, where be tried
to obtain some information from seq
try regarding the Notifications He
vas promptly arrested and inquiries are
being made regarding his autecedeots.
It was also asserted to day that the
commanding officers Of the London
volunteer regiments have received
orders to prepare for immediate mob
ilization aud it was asserted that the
differen, artillery corps have been iu.
formed as to the forts 90 the southern
and eastern coasts to which they have
been allotted.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon
says: "Eoglapd has been aud even

the performance, as we'll as the variety dis

programme prevents individual criticism of
Z the several features, but special mention may
appropriately be rade Of "The Charge of

Rodgers. This young post graduate is striv-
ing for the Elocution Medsl, aud her voice in
increased resonance and purity of tons gives
evidenes Of practice.
Miss Gertie Linensn's ballad was sung in
sympathetic voice which suggested great
possibilisies. A melodioas selection from

manner JOY Miss Ada Doyle. A recitation
of aepS-religious character was ,oachiogly

Colonel Warnings Death.

New Yors, Oct 20 Colonel Geo.
B. Waring, Jr., died of yellow fever
to-day at bis home 10 the city where he
had been since be arrived from Havana
on the Yucatsn on Tuesday last. He
was 81 years of age.
Dr.. BIanne,t, who bad been attend.
Jog Colonel Wariug during his illness
was summoned to the house at l O'Clock
this morning. He found that Colonel
Wariog had been attacked with the
black vomis This symptom continued
all morning without cessation. Every
thing possible vas doue for the dying
man but he ouly lived uotil 7.45
O'Clock.
Three hours after the death Of
Colonel Waring his body, inclosed in d
metallic casket, was taken from the
apartment be had occupied to the dock
at the foot of Fifteenth street. where
the quarantine boat Governor Flower
was in waiting. The body vas placed
on board and taken to Swinburne
Island 1t was there placed in retort,
and Dr.. Doty himself lit the fire which
cremsted the remains.
As soon as the body had been
removed from the house the apartm ents
of the Warnings were fumigased and
disinfected
Colonel Waring had been sent to
Havana as special commissioner of
this government to ascertain the ex
act sanitary condition of that city
and to form ideas for the best meth
DDS for putting the place in first class
sanitary shape He was to report to
the president and on the day he re-
turned he said that he expected to go
to Washington the next day. He
said he felt unwell, but it was not
thought he had more than an ordinary
illness He said that he had great
deal of information which he thought
would be of service to the president.
The plan of the commissioner was
to place the city Of Havanna and the
coast towns of Cuba in such a good
sanitary condition that the recur-
renee of yellow fever and it's entrance
into the gulf cities Of the United
States would be prevented.
Colonel Waring was apparently
we'll when be left Havana, and he felt
only slightly i'll during the latter part
of the voyage, but when be reached
his home be was obliged to take to
his bed. 1t was then discovered
that he was suffering from yellow
fever.
Colonel Waring was Immediately
isolated in his apartments on the
ninth floor Of the Rutherford, the
apartment house in which he lived.

One Bad Result of the War

While We have been congratulatiog
ourselves over the happy results of the
var 10 obliserating sectional lines aud
10 briogipg better feeling between the
North and South, we have overlooked a
very serious disarraugemeut that seems
to have been created elsewhere There
has been percepsible increase in dis
turbances of more or less serious
character between the races.
1t was demonstrated early 10 the war.
indeed almost at che outset, that
negroes and white men could not frater.
oize as soldiers 10 the same camp with
any degree of safety. Northern SOL
diers were more difficult to manage in
this respect than Southero 1t was
like water and oil whenever the two
races met ou an equal plane. One
conflict followed upon the heels ol
another until it came to be recog.
uized fact in military circles that the
races we're to be treated separately and
kept apart.
Since she war. there have been more
race conflicts 10 one month than this
couu.ry has ever known before 10 one
year. Aud here again sectional lines
do not appear. 1t is as violent 10 the
state of Abraham Lincoln as it is in
JEFF Davis state. Now is it fair to say
that the trouble always begins with the
white men. 10 Old Virginia they tell
Us the negroes are protesting violently
over white officers being sent to com.
mand them. The press dispatches say
that committee of colored meo from
Ricbuood preseosed petition, asking
that no white officers be appointed
They told Secretary Alger that the
feeling of the negroes is intense. and
that the regiment will be demoralized
if the new officers are named Alger
gave them to understa nd that be could
not interfere.
1t is serions condition that con
fronts US. These people are here and
they are here to stag. If for even the
semblance of promotion or the appear
auce of recognition they get uureason-
able and disagreeable, they prove to be
their worst enemies -Spartanburg
