~
Washington, May 3O-One of the
United States prisoners in the Raleigh,
n. c., penitcntiary, has written n let
ter to the Star, charging cruel treat
ment of the inmates of that institu-
ton. The letter is written by 4 prison
err who is apparently well educated.
He says:
Il wish to call your attention again
to the outrageous treatment we Uunited
states prisoners are receiving Mt the
hands of the brutal State officials. we
nave solicited aid from the Department
OF Justice. but have received no assist
ance. Yet Major Strong, Of the De-
partment came here, examined the
prisoners and found they had been bru-
tally treated. ana promised to do some
thing for us. Yesterday a poor de-
formed prisoner was taken and struck
twelve lashes on his bare back because
he could not do n strong mans work
After he had been whipped he told the
officers he was going to report the mat
ter to the Attorney General. He was
then taken and struck ten more blows
and when taken down was unable ia
stand. He was then told by the warden
that unless he did the work assigned
to him he would be dealt with in n Sc
Verer way, and that they were going
to treat the prisoners as they pleased
so long as the government kept them
mere; that they need not expect assist
ancc from the Department OF Justice
because they were not running the
penitentiary. AS Il result of this inhu-
man treatment two prisoners who had
been recently logged, ran away from,
the clay pit. To-day they were shot al
several times by the guards, but they
were determined to leave this place of
torture. They succeeded and have no,
been heard from. Now, if there Is no
assistance to come from the United
states authorities. we are going to
protect ourselves or die in the AZ

strange phenomenon, supposed to be a
part of the tri-century meteoric dis
turbance scheduled by the astronomers,
was observed here tonight between 3
o'clock and midnight. The fiery mes
sengers made their appearance di-
rectly overhead and attracted much at
tention and no little fear among the
negroes.
AS many as ten meteors We're seen, all
of them in the nebulae form, resem-
bling comets. They first appeared as
patches of light and at times would
glow fiery red and then fade away,
repeating the operation a number of
times before they finally disappeared.
During the lurid period the central
body would be easily seen, the light
radiating throughout the entire mass,
which appeared to be about three feet
long and six inches wide. 1t was also
observed While the glow was ON that
these bodies appeared to be moving, the
agitation being easily distinguished
with the naked eye. The entire zenith
was overcast, although outside of the
arc the sky was clear. Great crowds
gathered at the street corners and
many were appalled, at the strange
sight. A number of negroes in their
fear, resorted to prayer.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.
Amateur Athletic Union Will Con-
slider Them To-Day.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-It is stated
that after canvassing the various clubs
of the. Amateur Athletic Union of
America the New York Athletic Club,
finding the sentiment overwhelmingly
against it, will make no fight against
certain proposed reforms which will
come up for action at a meeting to be
held at the Astor House tomorrow.
Among the majority of the clubs of the
various associations there seems to be
only one object, which is to prevent the
New York Athletic Club from corralling
all the leading athletes of the country
to the detriment of smaller clubs that
have not enough money to keep the
men in training, such as is maintained
at Travers Island
Barlow S. Weeks of the New York
Athletic Club, says he expects the
amendments as proposed by the legis-
lation committee of the union to be
passed. The amendment most affecting
that club places the same restrictions
upon college athletes as upon others
and if passed will prevent the club
from getting such star athletes as
KraenZlein, Grant and others who do
not live in the metropolis. 1t is the
opinion of those who are pushing the
matter that by requiring every athlete
to be an active member of club at
least four months and a bona fide resi-
dent of the district at least six months
before competing, the interest in ath-
letics will not be confined solely to New
York but will spread throughout the
country. They think also that the
sport will be purified.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
It's System Recommended for
Adoption in New Zealand.

BERKELEY, Nov. 19-An antipo-
dean opinion of the University of Cali
fornia is contained in the report made
by F. E. Baume, before recent meet
ing of the University College Council
in Auckland, New Zealand, it is printed
in the Auckland Star of October
1th.
Mr.. Baume visited the United States
last summer as Commissioner of the
University College Council to study
American university methods and
ideas. He visited Berkeley on his re-
turn journey to New Zealand and was
greatly struck with the organization
and methods of the University of Cali
fornia.
His admiration for the system of ac-
credited schools is shown by the fact
that he recommends the institution in
New Zealand of a system of inspection.
examinations and accredited schools
similar to that which is in vogue in
California He says further that some
provision should be made to introduce
the university extension system, such
as prevails in California.

Shortly afterward smoke and flames be-

all the passengers were in the boats.

although they had an offer to go aboard
the Ceres, and they worked manfully
at the pumps until 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. when the fire had gained so
much headway that it was dangerous
to remain longer. I then ordered the
crew to take to the boats.
AN hour or two later we sighted the
Athesia, which picked US up. After
the Athesia abandoned the Patria we

to have inflicted considerable damage.
