WANTS AN
INVESTIGATION.
R. R. Tolbert's Story of the
Trouble at Phoenix. S. c.

Washington, D. c., Nov.
II.-R. R. ToIbert. whose
father and brother were shot
in the recent race war at Phoe-
nix. S. c.. was at the depart
ment of justice today today to
secure an investigation of the
riot by the federal authorities.
He was accompanied by some
Of the republican politicians OF
the state. The elder ToIbeft
is now in the state penitentiary
for safety from popular vio-
lenee.
Mr.. Tolbert says that the
true facts of the rioting have
not been given. The facts are,
he said, as follows:
~ was nominated for con-
gress by the republicans of my
district. For the purpose of
making a contest before the
public. my brother. T. P. Toll
bert, agreed to be present at
the polling place at Phoenix
for the purpose of witnessing
the afhdavits of colored men
who were rejected as voters
because of their inability to
comply with the requirements
of the constitution. My broth
er took no part in the manage
ment of the polling place, which
was in the hands of the domo-
Gratis. He simply sat on the
plaza of Mr.. Lakes house
and witnessed the afidavits
given him, depositing these at
fIdavits in a box prepared for
the purpose.
Mr.. Ethridge, the white man
who was killed, was an eiec-
ton manager at a precinct two
miles away. He left his own
precinct, and with a party Of
men went to Phoenix. He
walked up with his party to
where my brother was sitting
at a table and deliberately
kicked over the table and box
in which were put the certi6
cafes. Then he assaulted my

In a short while the demo-
cratic voters. who were in the
same house. rushed out and
commenced shooting into the
crowd. The negroes fed My
brother, who is probably dead
by now, told me that Ethridge
was killed by shots from his
own friends. My brother did
not have a weapon on his per-
son"
Mr.. Tolbert said he was at
AbbeviIle, twenty-five miles
away from the shooting. His
father was at Verdry, another
precinct When the elder
ToIbert learned of the riot he
started to the scene in his bug
gy. accompanied by little 10
year old nephew. Before he
reached the scene he was NEE
by a mob. which riddled the
buggy with bullets and wound
ed him and the little boy a
number of times. 1t was said
that the boy was killed by the
shots.
c. P. Tolbert. who was first
shot by the mob, was aided to
his home. some distance from
the scene, and was pursued by
the mob. While lying in bed
in a dying condition the mob
attempted to make him give
the name of the person who
had killed Ethridge. He said
he could not but believe
Ethridge had been killed by
the democrats themselves.

SPAIN MAKING A
DESPERATE PLAY.
The Queen Regent WIN With
An Autograph Letter In
vite the Kaiser To
Visit Madrid.

A dispatch to the Tribune from
Madrid says: The result of the
United States elections came
as a surprise and disappoint-
ment to Sagasta. who had
confidently expected that the
Republicans would at least
lose control of. the House Of
Representatives. The Spanish
cabinet is convinced that the
elections upon which it has
been counting to obtain better
terms at Paris have resulted in
nothing that can aid Spanish
diplomacy.
The intended visit of En-
peror William,in honor of which
Admiral Camara's squadron is
under orders to proceed to
Cartagena. now furnishes an
other straw to clutch at. The
Queen Regent, whose health
is visibly impaired by the strain
of the last eight months, thinks
the wisest course to be tor the
cabinet to instruct the Spanish
peace commissioners frankly
to eoneede the American de-
mand of the Philippines and to
work honestly to frame a
treaty.
However, sagasta is still
sparring for time and hopes to
succeed in one more gigantic
bluff. He now says the cabi-
net requires the authorization
of the Cortez before it can
abandon the Philippines and
he is reported to have inform
ed the Spanish commissioners
that they have no mandate to
discuss such an eventually.
The marked sympathy for
Spain expressed almost unan-
imously by the German news
papers. coupled with the pur-
chases at Berlin and Frankfort
|of Spanish exterior and Cuban
bonds. the German holding OF
which have been quadrupled
during the last threse months.
gives an exaggerated signif-
canoe of the intended visit OF
the German Emperor and
Empress. 1t is not yet known
what the Emperor's plans may
be on his arrival at Cartagena
Nov. 70, but as soon as the
LHohenzoilern reaches that
naval station the imperial pair
will be invited by an autograph
letter from the Queen Regent
to visit Madrid.
Lord Salisbury's reference
to the American republic as a
factor in Asiatic and possibly
European diplomacy which
might not conduce 10 the in
terests of peace is widely com
mented upon here as strength

that Germans wish to intervene
in the Philippines. All but the
