IN MEMORY OF CHAMPLAIN.
CANADIANS UNVEIL TUE HANDSOME
MONUMENT AT QUEBEC.

The Quaint Old City Cleaned With
Fantastic Observation-Disclosures
Dignitaries of the Dominion Pres
ent-The Cruiser MarbIehead Given
an Enthusiastic Reception, and
the BattIe-WOrn Yankees Receive
the Lions share of Attention-Mar-
bIehead's Men Given the Position
of Honor at the dwelling CeremO-
MES, md Continuously Cheered in
the March.
Quebec. Sept. 21.-The Canadian people
to-day paid a magnificent tribute of respect
to the memory of the French explorer
Champlain, who 29O years ago founded the
city of Quebec.
In the presence of one of the greatest
assemblage ever seen in the province OF
Quebec, near the spot where the great
explorers body is supposed to have been
buried. a grand monument to his memory
was unveiled.
The entire city took holiday, business
places were closed, daily papers suspended
publication and tonight the quaint old
city is cleaning with fantastic illumina-
lions. The principal dignltaries of the en-
tire dominion were present.
On the great platform surrounding the
monument were many of the civil and
military dignitarles of Canada and mem
bers of the international joint commits
sion.
To Americans the most interesting fea-
ture of the occasion was the hearty and
enthusiastic reception given to Capt. Nc
Gala of the United States cruiser Marble
head, and his gallant crew of marines
and sailors. Three British warships, the
Renown the interchangeable and the Tai
bot arrived here several days ago to par
ticipate in the ceremonies, but her ma
iesty's great sea warriors with their crews
i'm gold braid and bright uniforms did Lot
get the spirited reception given the bat
tered and bruised old Marblehead with her
handful of Yankee sailors fresh from the
stormy scenes on the south coast of Gu
ba.
1t was little after sunrise this morning
when the Marblehead steamed up the river
and when she came in sight the Brit
ish warships made the old walls of the
citadel above them fairly tremble with the
thunder of their welcome. The Marble
head answered the salute with her 5-inch
guns.
The moment the Marblehead's guns
spoke out tremendous cheer went up
from the ramparts and in Duffey Terrace,
where a great throng of people were look
ing down upon the warships in the river
below. Then, again, when the marines
with their colors and band, were marched
through the streets and gate of the old
city. il was a continuous cheer for the
men of the Marblehead.
At the unwilling ceremonies the Mar
bleheads men were given the position of
honor, facing the monument, and they had
all the time the lions share of the crowd s
admiration.
Capt. McCalla was received with warmth
by Admiral Sir John Fisher and all the
Canadian officials
The Marbehead will remain here for
several DAYS.

PEOPLE PROBABLY ron THEM.

So 1t Is Not Necessary to Talk Much
About the Constitutional Changes.
While the state election is but two weeks
off, there has been little or no discussion
over the two proposed constitutional
amendments, which will then be submit
ted to the people for their ratification or
rejection. These amendments provide for
the election of the judges and solicitors
general of the Superior Court by the peo-
pie instead Of by the legislature, as at
present.
No particular effort appears to be maxi
ing to arouse the voters to an apprecia-
ton of the Importance Of the amendments.
This may be due to desire on the part
OF politicians TO keep the matter out of
a political campaign entirely, or to their
belief that the people are practically of
Zone mind, ana will support the proposed
amendments almost unanimously. The
latter 10 probably the correct view of the
situation The Populists have long been
demanding the election of judges and So
lIcitors by the people. and the sentiment
in the Democratic party Is seemingly
clearly in the same direction.
Inquiry among the local political lead
ers yesterday showed that they are of the
impression that the amendments will be
adopted. 1t only requires majority vote
TO secure their adoption. If adopted the
amendments become law on Jan. 1 next,
without further action.

suit in permanent peace.
I'VE indOrse our honored Secretary of
War and commend his conscientious pa
triotc and unselfsh devotion to the hon

army. We denounce the unjust attacks
made on him and offer him our undivided
support and confidence"

test with Gerrift j. Diekema, eX-speaker

Many Threats From Negroes.
cambridge, Ca, Sept, 21.-On the Swl-
cord plantation, about FIVE miles east of
Bainbridge. this morning, about o clock,
John Covingtou, colored, committed rape
upon a negro woman living on the planta-
ton.
After committing the crime and realiz-
ing that dead people tell no tales. he cut
her throat, from which she has since
died.
During the struggle she sent forth
scream after scream, which attracted the
attention of Covington's wife, who lived
only a short distance away. and who ran
down to the scene from whence she heard
the screams.
She found the woman with her throat
cut and in a dying condition, and her hus-
band standing over her.
She asked him some few questions about
the dying woman, when he became en-
ragged and being caught by his wife turn
ed upon her and attempted to cut her
throat also.
She, however, succeeded in getting away
from him and gave the alarm.
The brute at once ran for escape.
The dead woman's father came to Balm
bridge and notified Sheriff Patterson, who
at once went to the scene of the tragedy
and gave chase.
The negro came toward cambridge,
crossed the river and was caught near
the first section house on the Alabama
Midland Railroad, where he stopped. He
was brought 10 Bainbridge about O'Clock

The negroes were wild and loud, and oft

negroes had time to organize, he would
surely have paid the penalty for his crime

He is now safe In Jail, and Sheriff Pat
terson fears no trouble, as the negroes

custody that he Will protect him, even at
the cost of his own life.
Fortunately, our Circuit Court convenes
here soon, when Covington will have a
speedy trial, and be dealt with like 9TH
