nous Letter Story

Wilmington n. c., August 24.-(Spe-
cial. Since early nightfall great
crowd of negroes has been assembled
around the office of the Record, the ne
gro paper which has created SO much
Indignation here by the publication of the
scurrilous article on the white women
of the State. The negroes seem to have
anticipated trouble as a result of 1t, ano
have been ON the lookout for any signs
of violence ever since.
The gathering is supposed to be the re-
suit of the report that an anonymous
letter has been sent the negro editor
warning him to leave town. Whether
any such letter was sent or whether he
made the statement to test the feeling
of the negroes i'll the matter is not
known. Ii the report was started as Il
''fceler' it has achieved its purpose in
showing clearly that the majority OF
negroes here sanction the course of the
Record.
The whites have paid very little atten-
tion to the incident thus far. No
demonstration has been made of an eX-
citing character, and the negroes have
been comparatively quiet. The whites
are cool, but determined; thus far they
have exercised wonderful degree of
forbcarance but if the worst comes they
will do their duty, and if they need help
it will come with mighty run from the
surrounding country.
The tension that has existed between
the races since the city was turned over
to negro domination by the Russell adj
ministration is naturally increased 10y
the attitude of the negroes in this latest
incident. and the chances of trouble
proportionatcly increased.

ALGER AT MONTAUK POINT.
Storm Blows Down Tents, Carryin
Two Into the Ocean.

Two INTO the ocean.
New York. August 24-The report of
the condition of the men on the Yale,
which arrived off Camp Wikoff, Mon
tauk Point, L. l., last night has not yet
been made by the quarantine officers.
In the electrical storm which continued
for four hours last night, the wind blew
down many Of the soldiers tents,
twisted the wires about the camp, blew
down the Red Cross hospital tent in the
General hospital, and caused havoc gem
orally. Two tents were picked up from
the ground and carried into the ocean.
The wrecking of five unoccupied tents
in the detention hospital will prevent
the landing of some sick soldiers on the
transports.
The large Y. NJ. C. \. tent in which
the soldiers spend much of their time
writing to their relatives or reading,
was also lcveled by the gale.
The transport Arcadia which arrived
last night was inspected to-day. Cap
tain Capron, father of Captain Capron,
Of the Rough Riders, who was killed at
Santiago, is on board sick. Many sol
diers have been discharged from the hos
pitfalls, but there are other sick to take
their piaces as soon as they yacate.
Secretary of War Alger arrived at
the camp to-day on special train. To
the newspaper correspondents Secretary
Alger stated that he hoped to make as
thorough inspection as possible of the
camp. He rode with the army officers,
who met him ut the depot to headquart-
ers, and as soon as he was recognized by
the volunteers and regulars, the Secre-
tary was loudly cheered. Secretary Al
ger was especially interested III the con-
dition of the sick men, and how they
were being cared for. He intimated
that President Mckinley was much con-
cerned in the matter of properly caring
for the sick soldiers.
The Secretary will make Il complete
tour of the big camp before he returns
to New York. He will also be fully in
formed when he leaves as to how the
volunteers feel about their being muster
ed out.
1t is said that Secretary Alger in
formed General Wheeler that he would
stay in camp two or three days, if neces-
sary to make Il thorough inspection of
everything, and devise some means for
the relief and comfort of the soldiers,
and especially those in the hospital.
The heat of the day completely ex-
hausted many of the soldiers in camp,
and was responsible for Il number of
deaths. The death list to-day number
ed five,
The report of the hospital authorities
show there are $50 men in the General
hospital, of whom 225 have typhoid fe-
yer. Three hundred men are in the DC
tention camp.
The transport Leona is unloading; 104
sick men were removed to the hospital.
The Yale has ON board 1,069 men of
the Third and Twentieth regular in
fantry of whom 17S are sick. There is
no contagious disease on board. There
was only one death.

the entertainment given by the Oxford
Orphan Asylum choir at the Metropolis

is composed of eleven young people and
their singing is sweet and expressive :
excellent voices. indeed Their perform
ance showed splendid native talent and
excellent training.
The entertainment consisted of vocal
solos, duets, quartets, seXtettes choruses,
and recitations. There was not dun
number among the entire selections and
the audience showed their great appre-
citation of the childrens' efforts by un-
stinted applause. The audience was well
coined in short little speech by little
Sam Barber whose solo singing during
the evening also gave evidence of the
bright little fellow that he is.
The recita tions and singing of Miss
Mamie Horton were perhaps the leading
features of the evening. She has talent
of an unmistakably high order and her
hearers were highly pleased with her
efforts.
Miss Lille Williams vocal solo, "Sup,
posing" was Il feature of special inter
est. She has remarkably sweet, cleaI
soprano voice.
The solo by little Velma Pope, a tot
of eleven years of age, accompanied by
the full chorus, was exceedingly meritor.
