IFNCHINGS IN THE SOUTH.
Caused by "FOOIs and Fanatics" Who
 Know Nothing About situation.

Atlanta, Ga, July Ex-Governor Candler since the Bainbridge lynchings has been asked by many newspapers to give his opinion on the race question in the south In reply to one of them the governor has freely expressed his views as to the cause of the conflicts and the remedy therefore. The gover- nor believes the present day cause of the uprisings is the intermeddling with the relations of the whites and blacks in the south by fools and fanatics'' who know nothing about the situation, but think the whole trouble dates from the day of emancipation. Governor Candler believes a restriction in the suf- frage will remedy the evils. He thinks that the ballot should be given to the intelligent negro.

M1 UNA .LOI,S ERUPTION.
A PeriIous Trip to the summit of the
 Volcano.

Honolulu, July 21, via San Francisco,
 July 2S.-The volcanic eruption of Mau-
 na Loa is still in full blast. The lava
 flow is apparently filling up the table land near the Humuula sheep ranch.
 Hilo and the whole island of Hawaii are l enveloped in smoke. Vessels encounter 1 dense clouds of smoke hundreds of miles out at sea, and navigators are seriously inconvenienced. kilauea is also smok- | ing freely and the indication are that this volcano will soon be in active erup- | tion.
 Frank Davey has returned from wis., 1t to the volcano. He says there are eight craters. Five of them are dead, but all of them appear to have been &C., tive recently. One oe the others was belching forth smoke and fire and mol ten rocks of great size. According to Davey the rocks were as big as horses, and went to a great .height.
 It took Davey and his party fifteen hours to ascend the mountain from the active crater to the summit, where their horses were left. Two men became deli rious on the way for want Of water. The trip is described as a terrible one in the extreme. All around the top of the mountain it was cold. At the crater it was very hot. B. S. Pratt was caught on a knoll high up on Mauna Loa on two sides of which the lava was flow ing. The sun was nearly down. He did not know which way to go and spent the night there,as a desperate chance, as he thought, of life. He sat LID all night and watched the lava flow. When the fumes were blown his way he lay down on his face to keep from suffocat- ing. Next morning he found his way out by following the way back down between the two flows.

SEARCHLlGHl'S FAST MILE
J. 1T. BRONSON,S HORSE WON S2 ,OOO
 PRIZE AT CLEVELAND.
It Was the Fastest Mile Ever Made in Light Harness md Placed New Mark Records Broken and the Spectators Were Treated to Fine Exhibition.

Cleveland, July 2S.--Searchight in addition to winning the 2:04 race from Anaconda and Frank Bogash, placed a new mark to-day for the Glenville track that has ever been made in harness on the Cleveland track. The great son of Darknight did it ill one of the warmest heats that has been seen in many day.
 Another mark was fixed by The Maid when in the second heat of the 2:14 pace she went mile in 2:06 IA, breaking the record for four-year-old pacing mares in race, made by Much Better at San Jose last August of 2:07 IA. The track record at Glenville was 2:03 3-4, held by Frank Agan. The fourth day of the races presented the best pro- gramme so far this week, the star at- traction being the fast pacing race. It proved to be in every way as interest ing as it was advertised to be. With the horses in good condition, they made good time and Searchlight knocked the. opinion of the bookies endwise in win ming the race, which they had sched- uled for Anaconda. Cresceus was the disappointment in the 2:10 trot for af- ter winning one heat he was hardly heard of except in a wonderful drive in the last heat. The race went to Elloree, who got better as the race progressed and finally won from Tommy Britton and Cresceus.
 A peculiar state of affairs existed with the 2:14 pace. The Maid was the favorite, but Will Tranby was played most against the field. The favorite in the opening of the betting finally won the race after dropping heat to Tran by. Bessie K was the hot favorite in the 2:21 trot, but Dainty Daffo was the winner.
 The crowd which attended the races was not as large as 1t had been on the days preceding. However, about 1000 people were in the grand stand. The day was an ideal one with the track fast, although a trifle dusty.
