srrUATIoN AT oARrERv1HLE, ILL.


Carterville, ILL.,, Sept. 1s-There is
little change in the situation here to-
night, but what little there is is for
the better, although the race feeling is
bitter. Four men who were seriously
wounded are now expected to recover.
The coroner's jury which is sitting on
the cases of the six negroes murdered
Sunday, is stlll in session and will not
adjourn before tomorrow. Until that
time it is expected that no arrests will
take place. Mayor Zimmerman came
out in signed statement to-day in
which he says that Governor Tanner
sent a personal report to him and told
him that, if the better class of citizens
would sign an agreement to the effect
that they would guarantee that there
would be no more loss of life or riotlng,
the governor would remove the troops
tive that the governor sent the troops
here without consulting the citizens of
Carterville that he could remove them
the same way, but that as long as the
negroes remained at the brush mines,
just so long might he expect to hear
of trouble. Company F of Mount Ver-
non, forty strong, arrived to-day. Com
pany B of Newton is expected to ar
rive tonight or tomorrow morning.
No further trouble may be expected so
long as the militia is here.

PLANS FOR VIEW BATTLESHIPS.
Naval Engineers Provide for an En-
tireIy Novel Type.

washington, Sept, 1S.-The naval en-
gineers have perfected plans for the
new battleships which, if adopted, will
provide an entirely novel type for the
navy. The purpose is to have these
ships combine in themselves the good
qualities of battleships and armored
cruisers. The aim will be to have the
highest possible speed for such of the
ships, in this case twenty knots per
hour. This will be attained by the use
o triple screws, two small screws for
use in ordinary cruising and a big CEN
tral screw to add to the rropulsive
force in case high power is needed A
ship of this kind with 14000 or $4,000
tons displacement and with seven
inches of the latest armor would be al
most as strong in defense as a regular
battleship. The coal capacity would
be about 1000 tons, sufficient at ordi
nary cruising speed to carry the ship
ten or fifteen thousand miles.

War risks on consignments to the
Transvaal We're quoted at premium of
fifty per cent. yesterday and all the
markets were very sensitive and eXcit
ed. The Daily Chronicle points out that
the Orange Free State would probably
better serve the Transvaal by remain
ing neutral than by becoming active in
the assistance to the Transvall, because
the easiest route for marching troops to
johannesburg and Pretoria lies between
Orange Free State river and Vaal river.
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle says: 1T is reported
here Conyngham Greene, diplomatic
agent at Pretoria, fears that an attempt
will be made to dynamite the British

INSURANCE TROUBLES.
Report on Exc mimi DtiOn of Mutual Re-
serve Life of New York.

Albany, Sept. 1S.-Superintendent Of
| Insurance Payn made public to-day the
report on the examination of the Mu-
| tual Reserve Life association of New
York and transmitted the same to the
attorney general for his action under
section 207 of the insurance law. The
report consists of the findings of the
superintendent supplementing the eX-
aminers' report which shows $2,122,OOo
of unpaid claims, an increase of $685.
900 over the previous examination ante
dating the present one by sixteen
months, while the reserve fund has de-
creased about 100000. The membership
has decreased over $4,000 This gives
the association a balance of funds on
the above basis Of $975,507.2 % as against
81 531 ,9S134 on similar basis Decem-
ber 81. 1897, or a decrease since then
of $556,47412. The superintendent criti-
cises the acceptance of 100000 of bonds
in payment of premiers, such bonds
having been held by the department.
He states:
"The use of any portion of the associ-
atoms funds under the conditions pro-
vided for the redemption or partial set
tlement of bond statement is not
authorized by law, and the acceptance
of such statement in payment of pre-
MUM or assessment is equally unjus-
tifiable.' He continues that it is appar-
emily the intention of the management
to deceive the policy holders as to the
true financial condition by designating
bond statements, thus continuing the
deception which has existed ever since
the first bond statement was issued. He
objects to the policies issued as de-
ceptive.

New York, Sept 1S.-The following
letter has been received by the Associ-
ated Press:
ITO the Associated Press:
Upon my return to New York, fol-
Lowing an absence of fortnight, my
attention was called to the publication
of an alleged interview of my brother,
the Hon. Perry Belmont, purporting to
have been given by him to reporter
on September in London on the eve
of a professed departure for the United
States and In which he was quoted as
saying that the country is sick of the
jellyfish imperialism of President Nc
Kinley,' and that with William j.
Bryan's middle-of the-road policy, it is
difficult to prophesy anything but a
sweeping majority for Mr.. Bryan next
election.
The eXtravagant expressions used
were so contrary to his customary con-
servatism and so at variance with his
independence and the consistency of
his political views-moreover, he was
not sailing according to my best infor-
mation-that 1 cabled to him asking
whether the interview was genuine. His
reply confirms your positive denial by
cable this morning. He authorizes me
in this cable to say that he has not seen
any reporters since his departure from
America and he declares that he has
nothing to add to, or change in, the
views expressed on the eve of his sail
ing for Europe June II, which , We're
then used by the Associated Press and
in which interview he affirmed that
If such a severe test should be made
as a choice between the constitution
and the Philippines, democrats would, in
my opinion, let the Philippines go. But
no such test is likely or necessary. If
congress is not to assemble before the
usual time, there will be no national
politics during the next six months for
those outside the administration circle
The management of our new islands, in
Guiding taxation and expenditure, is
now treated at Washington as purely
an executive affair The president
should satisfactorily punish Aguinaldo
and his followers for their assault early
last February on our army at Manila.
When that has been accomplished and
has assembled, there will be
no real problems growing out of eXpan-
sion that will press for solution
SO much has been published and
said in our name of late. wholly for"
eign of our own political creed and that
Of our father whose opinions in his
day democrats respected and refer to-
day in unmstakabIe terms of ap-
proval, and which we profess to hold
and alone to represent, that / take this
to repudlate for us both once
and for all any affiliation with the
demagogy and populism which are now
trying to rule and did rule our party in

IN ACTOR,S SUDDEN DEATH,
B. f. McClnnnin Expires ia Ha, tfOrd a n
Hour Before Curtain Rises,

Hartford, Sept 1s.-R. f. McClannin,
aged about sixty-flve, one Of the best
known actors on the American stage,
expired suddenly at o'clock this even
ing while joking and laughing at the
supper table of the hotel where he was
stopping. Mr.. McClannin was to have
made his first appearance with James
Hackett tonight as Colonel Sapp in
Rupert of Hentzau." His lines were
read by Mr.. Donnelly tonight in order
not to disappoint a crowded house. He
had for three years appeared in this
character in the prisoner of Zenda."
AT the Boston Museum he was a fa-
milar figure, where he played leading
"old man" parts for many years. He
also had supported Maggie Mitchell in
years gone by.

SHAMROCK HAS GREAT SPEED
TIE TRIAL SPIN YESTERD1Y A
FINE SUCCESS.
Gives Remarkable Performance Oh
Run Home-COvers Fifteen Miles In
One HOurnnd Fourteen Nj nutes with
Trimmed Sheets-In Increasing Wind
She Drops Erin and Press Boat.

New York, Sept. 1S.-The Shamrock
had another sail trial outside of Sandy
Hook to-day, starting from the Scot
| land lightship and sailing over fifteen
| mile course to the windward and re-
turn. The English boat certainly show
ed great speed, and especially on the
run home in an increasing breeze, MAX
ing the last fifteen miles in one hour
and fourteen minutes-quite remark
able performance, considering that her
sheets were apparently trimmed well in,
while the course was a broad reach.
Her beat to the mark was also made in
good time although the last five miles
were sailed with sheets lifted, as the
wind shifted from southeast to SOUTH
letting her up in good shape. She
used her new mainsail and aluminium
gaff, and seemed to carry her sails very
Well
The challenger started out from her
berth inside the Hook shortly after 10
O'Clock, being towed out by the tug
Lawrence. An hour was consumed in
getting up sail and more time was vast
ed in waiting for the Erin to take up
her position as starting boat The Erin
blew the preparatory whistle at 11:45,
and at 1850 the starting whistle was
sounded. The Shamrock was well han
died and crossed the line within few
seconds after the whistle blew. A
number of short tacks followed, and
about 1:30 she came around on the star
board tack. A few minutes after this
the wind, which at the start was from
the southeast and blowing about seven
knots, shifted to the south and increas-
ed to over ten. This helped the Sham
rock to stand for the outer mark with
almost lifted sheets, and as she bore
away she presented a fine appearance.
She fetched the outer mark all right and
rounded it at 2;09, or two hours, four
teen minutes and twenty-five seconds
from the lightship Within three min
utes after rounding the spnnaker was
set to port the big sail being set flying
as usual She ran about five miles,
when the wind shifted still more, COM
pelling the taking in of the big sail, and
she reached for the lightship with her
jib topsail set over her jib and lug stay
sail, The breeze kept increasing on the
run in and the yacht rapidly dropped
the Erin as well as the press tug, so
that neither had a good view Of the big
boat as she passed the lightship at
3 23:15 and the time had to be taken on
shore. She covered the thirty miles in
about three hours twenty eight minutes
and ten seconds. The trial was one of
the most successful that the Shamrock
has had and all on board seemed to be
well satisfied with her performance,
She will probably go out again to-mor-
row for still further work. provided it
does not rain

Grafton upon Walter A. Duryea was
performed this afternoon. Duryea has
been in the hospital since August II,
suffering from a broken neck caused

out the use of an anaesthetic. God
only knows whether he will live or
not" said DR.. Bennett last evening.

Pretoria, Sept. 1S-The Transvaal
state secretary. F. w. Reitz, in the
course of an interview to-day declared
that the government, the Volksraad and
the people were unanimous regarding

culties He also asserted that the
Transvaal's decision was arrived at in
conjunction with the Orange Free State.

belonging to people convicted of treason
or conspiracy against the state and en-
powerng the government to order that
the mines be worked and, If this in
struction is disregarded, to work them
through it's own agents. The readopted
article comes into force Immediately.

grand lodge. At present ten cents per
mile is allowed for delegates living
east of the Rocky mountains and
twelve cents west. 1t orders the figures

The matter of admitting negroes to the
l. O. 0. F., is expected to come up at
this session, as it has done for num-
ber of years. Resolutions providing for
admission of negroes have always here
tofore been voted down, and the senti-
ment among the delegates cause pre-
dictions of similar fate for any in
troduced at this session.

obtain representation on the floor of
the sovereign grand lodge but there is
much opposition to such an innovation.

tertained by the Union Rebekah Degree
