PLAN FOR CONSOLIDATION
L. & N. and Southern Jointly Acquire
 Georgia Railroad

Richmond, Va, August 15.-President Jno Skelton Williams. of the Seaboard Air Line, announced today that he had good 2 ound for the statement that the Louis- Vile and Nashville railroad had leased the Georgia railroad to accomplish what at present is unknown.
 The sum agreed upon is to be $50O,OoO year. The Louisville and Nashville has been in control of the Georgia road for some time. It is said from semi-official sources that the Southern is interested. It is known the Southern and Atlantic Coast Line work together. and the Southern could reach Att lanta easier over the Georgia road than any other way. As there is constitutional provision in the way of the Southern ac- quiring this lease of the Georgia direct an objection which does not hold in regard to the Atlantic Coast Line, later will require one-half interest in 1t from the present lessee, the Louisville and Nashville, on an understanding which has been reached be- tween the Southern and the Louisville and Nashville.

WHITECAP 0UTRAGES IN SOUTH CAROLINA Sheriff Appeals to the Governor For Aid
 in SuppreSSing Them. HAVE WHIPPED NEGROES
The Blacks Are in Constant Terror and
 Hide in the Woods.
ONLY LOWER CLASS OF WHITES
Give Information Against Their Prosecutors as They Fear
 Being Killed.

Atlanta, Ga., August 15.-A special from Greenwood, s. C., says:
 1.-The sheriff of this county today ap- pealed to Governor McSweeny for aid to assist him in suppressing whitecap out rages, which began here suddenly one week ago. Tonight the governor sent word that he would be in Greenwood tomorrow with Attorney General Bellinger to make a per- sonal investigation of the situation. For more than a week a gang of so-called whitecaps have been whipping negroes in this county nearly every night.
 Began With Election Riot
 The section between Greenwood and Phoenix is fine farming courtry, and is largely tenanted by negroes, who rent from white landlords. It was at Phoenix, in this community. thickly settled with ne- groes, that the election riot between blacks and whites took place last November Since then among a lower class of whites there has been an unrelenting disposition to drive out the negroes Certain white men here, 1t is said, desire to get control of the valuable lands thereabout and in order to do so they have set about to drive out the negroes.
 Monday night one week ago the whip ping began. Negro houses were visited and the inmates taken out and beaten. Sew eral nights last week this performance was repeated and a wide territory has been covered in this manner by the whitecaps.
 Negroes Are Terrified
 The negroes are said to be in state of terror and many spend the nights in tine woods and swamps, while others seek the protection of their landlords On Satur- day night 200 negroes spent the night in Greenwood and many of them have never returned to their homes. fearing to do so. So far as known, none have left the county. The better class of whites deplore the state of affairs and the matter was kept quiet until today.
 The negroes are afraid to give informa- ton and certain white men have been threatened if they take action against the 
 Senator Tillman and Congressman Lati- mer of this district are both here to at- tend the wheat growers convention and 1t is believed they will assist the governor In his investigation of the matter.

Lexington, Ky, August 15.-Tonight the indications are that a full state ticket will be nominated at tomorrow's anti-Goebel convention The disposition of most deie- gates arrived so far is to allow John Young Brown to name the ticket in order to avoid all friction arising from contests for places.

THEY WE'RE STARVED.
Miserable Treatment Accorded Lieut.
 Gilmore and His Party.

San Francisco, August 15-The Bulletin publishes a startling story from the Phil ippines regarding Lieutenant Gilmore and the party from the Yorktown who were captured by the Filipinos, and who have been reported from official sources as being well cared for and we'll treated
 It appears that when the Americans reached San Isidro, where the Yorktown members and some soldiers and civilians had been imprisoned, they found the names of the prisoners scratched on the walls of the jail. Some letters from the men were found secreted under stones and Spaniard who had been trusted with several pre- sented them to General Lawton. The let ters told of hardships the men were com- peled to suffer and begged that aid be sent them. The mon complained that they had been starved, beaten and bound and, moreover, were in rags. One of the let ters signed by Albert Lowensftn said that the Spaniards had been treated very badly worse than the Americans, and that hum dreds were dying of dysentery and other diseases, and the government took no no- tice of the sickness prevailing.

TWO VIEWS OF NEGRO PROBLEM
Washington Says It Must be Worked
 Out in the South.

Chicago, H., August 15-'T believe that the negro problem can be worked out on:y in the south, and by education," said President Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee, Ala, Normal School and Indus trial Institute for Colored Pupils, today
 President Washington has just returned from Europe and is in Chicago to attend the national council of colored women. He said:
 This education must be along home, moral and industrial lines principally, and will take time. We have already made great advancement, and have had only thirty years to work in. The plan of trans porting the American negroes to Africa consider impracticable.
 q gave the subject special study in Lon don. and the result of my observations is that there is no part of Africa to which the colored man could emigrate in which he would not be under some European power except Liberia, and that is an unhealthy country If we must be under any govern ment than our own let 1t be the United States. Besides when the next census is taken 1t will be found that there are nearly 10000 900 negroes In this country-too large a number to be moved to foreign coun- try"
 Bishop Henry M. Turner, of Atlanta, se- nior bishop of the African Methodist church and the first colored man to be commissioned in the union army by Presi- dent Lincoln, is also in Chicago to attend the national council. Discussing the negro problem he said q believe the govern- ment should establish a line of steamships between this country and Africa to carry negroes at nominal price, No people ever prospered which did not have a country of its own. The colored man should live in his own country and have his own gov ernment and commerce. He has the brains to establish such a government Such emigration would solve the race problem and give the colored man a chance to show what is in him, which will never be done under the present system.
 "The Anglo-Saxon race never did and never will live with any other race with out treading it under foot. I believe emi- grafton the only practicable solution of the problem"

BRYAN REVIEWS
 REPUBLICAN RECORD
He Declares That the Money Trust is the Biggest Trust
 of All.

Des Moines, Iowa. August 15.-William J. Bryan spoke for two hours at the audito- rum tonight to an audience of 4,500 people. The house was crowded, and the audience, which included practically all the delegates to the democratic convention to be held to- morrow, took every opportunity to ap- plaud. MT. Bryan reviewed the record of the republican party. accusing 1t of put ting the dollar above the man.
 He then took up the silver question, say ing prosperity did not set in until six months after the election, when the Klon- dike gold mines began to increase the supply of the yellow metal. The republi- cans who claim that times are better be- cause the balance of trade is in favor of the United States give away their own position and admit that the democratic view of the quantitive character of money is correct. The fnanciers of England con- trol the English government through Eng land, the rest of Europe, and through Eu- rope the United States.
 Biggest Trust of All
 Speaking of the trust, he said if the democratic party neglected the silver ques- tion, to the trusts, it would rightly forfeit the confidence of the people. The money trust is the biggest trust of all. He was glad the travelling men were fighting the industrial trusts now. but sorry they had not seen the logic of events in '96 and helped to fight the money trust then. The men who make trust speeches and applaud them are bankers. A new danger of the trusts has just been developed. When a trust gets control of all the factories in a given line, and the hands in one factory strike, the trust will close that one estab- lishment and make its goods at the other. When the workmen at that factory are starved to the point of working for any wages offered, the factory will be reopened and lockout to reduce wages will be inau- gurated at another factory.
 MT Bryan closed his speech by a lengthy discussion of imperialism. The difference he said, between a republic and an empire is this: A republic needs an army of 9 0OC for 70,OOO,OOO people; an empire needs four

GUERIN NO MORE
 THAN AN OUTLAW Still BarriCaded in His House, But
 May Surrender Today. AN ANTl-SEMITIC FLAG Flew from Roof Of the Headquarters
 Yesterday.
THE JEWS ARE ORGANIZING
Arranging for Meeting in Switzerland to Form an International ASsocia- tiop for Their Defense, and
 Protect Jews in France

Paris August 15.-The warrant for the ar- rest of M Guerin, president of the anti Semitic league who, with sympathizers, has been barricaded since Saturday last in the offices of the league, has been placed in the hands of Magistrate Fabre. Guerin is now regarded as an outlaw in a state of rebel lion since his notification of the issue of the warrant He cannot claim the right of citizen of exemption from arrest from sunset to sunrise, and the persons guarding the headquarters of the league, numbering about forty, are in the same box. Strict or ders have been given to arrest every one attempting to enter or leave the building. Three of Guerin's friends who attempted to leave the place this morning were ar rested. They carried six-chambered revol- vers and hatchets, and what Frenchmen designate as brass knucks.
 The prefect of police is still awaiting or ders from the government in regard to the action to be taken against Guerin. The leading Jews of Europe are arranging for a meeting in Switzerland to form an inter- national association for their defense and | to protect the Jews in France after the Dreyfus courtmartial is over.
 Down With the Jews
 As an anti-Semite group was standing at the corner Fabourg street, Dennis and the Rue De Valenciennes, this evening some passers by were greeted with cries of down with the Jews," whereupon they were surrounded and threatened by the demonstrators A supposed anarchist then fired several revolver shots. wounding three men. One of them, a man named Camille. was taken to a hospital seriously wounded. The alleged anarchist was ar rected.
 M. Guerin this evening displayed an anti Semitic tri-color flag on the roof of the anti-Semitic headquarters. On the flag was a motto reading, France for Frenchmen."
 He Can Take His Choice
 M. Waldeck-Rcsseau conferred several times during the day with M. Lepine, the perfect of police. and in consideration of the fact that recourse to force in the arrest of M. Guerin might lead to useless sacrifice of life. entailing still graver dem

onstrations at the obsequies of the victims, the premier decided not to expose the life of any man, soldier, policeman or fireman, but to leave NJ Guerin choice between self-imprisonment and arrest.
 Meanwhile, it looks as though this af- fair would have rather tame ending. Ihe friends of M. Guerin are busying them selves to rescue him from a foolish posi- tion. Mr. Stevens, son of the Well-known artist, obtained from the government permit to enter M. Guerin's house and ad- wise him to surrender with discretion, as- suring him no one doubted his courage, but that he ought not to compromise his friends and be the cause of placing human life at stake.
 Joseph Lasces, anti-Semite deputy for Gers. who was furnished with a similar permit, visited M. Guerin al o'clock this evening and conferred with him for three- quarters of an hour, making every effort to persuade Guerin and his associates that further resistance was vain and dangerous. At about 1O:30 M. Lasces went to see NJ. Waldeck- -Rosseau. In the premier's ab- sence he was received by the chief of cab inet. In the coUrse of an interview after ward M. Lasces denied that he was in charge of any negotiations or represented either side. He said he was simply acting on his own responsibility because ne was anxious to avoid strife.
 Will Be Arranged Tomorrow
 'I believe" M Lasces said, "that the matter will be arranged tomorrow. M. Guerin and his friends are oyer-excited. They are exhausted by sIeepless nights and the momentary expectation of a police raid. I have succeeded in obtaining an as- surance from M. Waldeck-Ro that they will not be disturbed tonight and may get needful repose. Tomorrow I shall see the premier and arrange terms by which M. Guern and his associates shall consti- tute themselves prisoners. The premier Is not intractible and will doubtless grant their wish to be treated with indulgence, and M. Guerin's request be allowed to sur render at the police department instead of being arrested in the Rue Crabrel. I may say that have spoken not only in my own name, but also that of M. Drumont."
 There was considerable excitement ac- companied by demonstrations and scuff1es in the Rue Chrabol during the course of the evening, and the police have made sev- eral arrests

times that large an army, when 100000 population is added. This suits the young men who get fat jobs in the army, but not the people who pay the $1500,000 a year needed to maintain the soldiers in the Philippines. MT. Bryan gave figures to show that England and other nations don't colonize rapidly and said that with twenty people to the square mile in America and sixty to the mile in the Philippines, there is no opportunity there. Even if we suc- ceed in killing off all the natives you can- not get young Americans to go there, for they prefer to live in this country. The profit will not equal the cost and the profit will not go to the right people, but to investment syndicates. Even if any man is willing to trade for pottage and does not have a taste for birthright, he had better investigate the pottage. If the Tagalos are largely Christians and our native allies are largely Mohammedan, we ought to ask'fhe sultan to help us subdue the Christian insurgents.
 Decoration Df Good Intention
 This government ought to make a dec- laration of good intention toward the Phil ippines 1t did toward Cuba. The presi- dent ought to have done so, or if he did not have the power, should have asked congress for 1t. Now he might call a special session to ask for the power. Cleveland called a special session to repeal the Sherman act, and Mckinley called one. A special session now would cost much money, but not nearly so much as the continuance of the war.
 The race for the nominations at the hand of tomorrows convention Is still an open ones Cato Sells, who will be temporary chairman, is the candidate of the conserva- tive element for governor, and Rev. s. H. Bashor, of Waterloo, the candidate of the radical silver element.
 Congressman Fred White, M. J. Wade of Iowa City and Mayor Baker of Daven- port are mentioned as dark horses. This nomination and the remainder of the ticket | will depend upon the fight between the l radicals and the conservatives for control | of the convention.
