The Dominant Race.
philadelphia Ledgerl

That the Anglo-Sexon race dominates
the world. because it keeps its courage
under trying circumstances, Is not an
unwarrantable deduction from the story
of the loss OF the Stella, IN the English
Channel. Here was d steamer, crowded
with excursionists. a class OF people not
noted for steadiness and not usually dis
tinguished for wisdom. suddenly driven
ashore. In dense fog. which was alone
enough 10 make unaccustomed people
timorous. and to add TO the horror OF the
event her boilers exploded almost as soon
as the shock OF the collision with. abe
rocks was felt. Yet the people seem TO
have kept their heads and refrainsd from
sacrificing each other In frantic efforts
to save themselves: the crew acted with
the GOODNESS OF veterans, the officers
worked hard 10 get the boats OF In good
order. and the last seen OF the captain
was as he stood on the bridge. unmindful
OF his own fate. but anxious that the
boats should get clear OF the steamer
before she sank and the suction dragged
them down. II was an impressive con-
trast 20 the scenes attending the sinking
OF La Bourgogne. on July ith. last year.
the narrowing details Of which are stu
fresh In memory.

DAVIS NOT GUILTY.
END OF THE FIRST CHAPTER IN
THE BRISTOL AFFRAY.
An ATTEMPT AT APPLAUSE
Quickly Suppressed by the Court
Only Two Witnesses Examined
Tho Argument-GoOd Speeches
Made on both Sides.

BRISTOL, TENN. May S.-(special)-
The trial Of the case of the Common
wealth against George r. Davis was con-
cluded at 4:So Z. NJ. to-day. when the
jury brought in a verdict of not guilty,
and the defendant was discharged. An at
tempt at applause was quickly SUPPRESS
ed by tho Court.
The only witnesses introduced to-day
were G.. Z. Steiner, who stated that he
took Walkers pistol from the table and
gave it 10 the police and ~ q. Stone,
who identified tho table and showed 1t
to be 30 inches high. IL was argued that
Walker could not have had his hand at
his side after no shot Hamilton. as he
said he did, as his pistol would have
fallen on the floor, and not on the table.
Commemorative Attorney Ashworth
made a brave fight for his SIDE, and his
speech is complimented by both sides TO
the controversy.
Mr.. Price. for the defence, made mas
terful speech. lie used the words OF Wit
ness Calfee that the room was charged
with electricity, and was very severe on
General Walker. Hamilton, he said, was
sitting down, and, Walker said, very
drunk" With two men holding him, yet
in that condition. poor Hamilton. in the
electrified room, only pressed the button
and the main actor in the drama, Walk
err" did the rest.
Hon. II. q. Peters. well known in Vir-
ginia, and u warm friend of Davis, both
having been reared in Martinsville, Va
made one of his strong, characteristic
speeches. lie said it gave him pleasure 10
defend his young friend, who. in the
bloom of manhood, stood indicted for
doing the jus,ihable act he had done. lie
spoke of Davis as peacemaker, and said
"the world had always applauded the
peacemaker, the Great Master himself
having said blessed are the peace
makers" He charged that a cruel partl-
san press, dipped in the ashes of defeat
had paraded Peacemaker Davis before the
world az a murderous assassin.
