THIRTY DROP FROM A BRIDGE.
Another Accident at the Paris Exposition
Two Persons KILLED,
BY the Associated Press.)


Paris. August 1S.-A second serious
accident has happened at the Exposition.
It occurred-unlike the first-when many
we're killed or injured through the falling
of a foot bridge near the Celestial Globe
amidst a scene of general rejoicing The
first was on an ordinary Sunday after
noon; the latest upon the occasion of the
most successful fete given. casting a
deep gloom over the city. AN the Paris
Exposition, was crowded including the
bridges joining one part with the other;
and it was ON one of these wooden CEN
structions-that joining the Invalides to
the Italian Pavilion--that the accident
happened.
Just before II o'clock some one pass
ing ever from the direction of the Champ
de Mars shouted: at cracks" and al
though there was not justification Tor
the cry, it was repeated by the crowd,
causing terrible crush and panic. Al
a certain point on the Invalides side, the
bridge curves around somewhat, and 1t
was here that the hand rail gave way
for a distance of from 10 to 10 yards.
Through the pressure of the crowd thirty
persons were precipitated from the bridge
to the roadway, three yards below. TWO
of these have since died. One or those
believed to be mortally hurt was injured
internally and the other sustained frac-
ture of the skull The injuries OF the
others consist of wounds upon the head
and face, broken arms and ribs and inter
nal LESSONS. Most of the victims were
women.

WATCHING CHINESE FLEET.
All the Admirals at Shanghai to Join in This
Duty.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
Washington, Aug. 1S.-As the result of
an exchange of cablegrams between the
powers concerning affairs at Shanghai,
an agreement has been reached by which
all the admirals of the several powers
represented at Shanghai will act con-
currently in a survey, or watching, of the
Chinese Yang Use fleet instead of having
this duty performed entirely by the Brit
ish admiral at Shanghai. This Chinese
Yang Use fleet consists of four cruisers
and several torpedo boats and destroy
ers. AS many transports are carrying
troops of the various powers to China
it has been deemed necessary to see
that the Chinese warships do not attack
the unprotected transports. The British
commander has been executing the watch
alone, but under the new arrangement
all will share in this responsibility. The
United States cruiser New Orleans is due
at Shanghai within the next day or two,
and she will participate with the other
foreign ships there in this duty.

Negro as Voter ShouIdbe No Factor
in the Presidential
Ele ton.

Especial to the News and Observer
Democrats of the Sixth Congressional
district met here today and nominated
without opposition, and by reclamation
the present incumbent, Hon. John d. Bel
lamy for Congress, and Hon. W. c. Dowd,
editor of the Charlotte News, for Bryan
and Stevenson elector. The meeting was
presided over by Hon. James G. Coving-
ton, of Union. On receiving the gavel
Mr.. Coyington made splendid speech
closing with parody on "Ho for Caro-
lina,' which took the convention. The
chorus wound UP with "Tis the land OF
love and White Supremacy"
The roll call showed all the counties
represented except Scotland. The plat
form was read for the committee by
IIeriot Clarkson, of Charlotte. He de-
clared for legalized primaries, asserted
that the negro should be no more
a factor as a voter in the Congressional
and Presidential election than he had
been in the last election, denounced Nc
Kinley for appointing negro postmasters,
and other negro officials; endorsed Bel
lamy's course denounced the contest for
his seat, and pledged hearty support to
Bryan and Stevenson.
Mr.. Bsllamy in his speech of acceptance
referred to the contest for his seat,
told of its purpose, and failure. He
spoke of the paramount issue Of impe-
rialism, and condemned those papers
which say that the issue is all rot !"
He pictured how in few short years the
Republic might become an empire. We
cannot hold the Philippines without grant
ing the right of citizenship, and we DON
want any more dark citizens. He show
ed how the trusts must have govern
nent of force to maintain themselves,
and that this is the object of the Ad-
ministration. He then paid his respects
to the trusts. These two issues he de-
clared the leading issues Of the cam
paign. His prediction of Bryans cleo
tion caused loud bursts of cheering.
Mr.. Dowd declared that the position
for which he had been nominated was
not a lucrative one, but to see Bryan
elected would more than repay him for
all it might cost. Just one
hundred years ago Thomas JEFF
ferson was nominated and elected on
practically this very same platform. His
tory would repeat itself. He contrasted
the scenes in the National Democratic
Convention four years ago with the
scenes in the recent convention. He had
been delegate to both. Mr.. Dowd
declared that the negro question would
never down so long as Wilmington had
a negro collector of customs, and there
were negro postmasters. This effort to
hush up this question, he said, is a
scheme to defeat Bryan. You may mark
these men, and they are all opposed to
Bryan's election. when you hear these
things he said you may know whence
they come. Let us carry this district

my dear Won Waldersee: / congratu-

troops of the civilized world. 1t is of
great significance that your appointment

approval of the Emperor of all the Rus

rapid or sanguinary. or whatever kind,
in a manner that all would approve the
Emperor concluded:
"In the interest of our people l wish
our common expression may turn into q
firm guarantee of mutual appreciation
and mutual peace for the European pow
ers, so that what the Car the attempt
ed last year in another field and what
we failed to do in peace may now per-
haps be attained with weapons in our

Count Won Waldersee, replying, said
that as long as he had strength to hold

never pass his lips.

French Victories in Africa.

Paris, Aug 18.-The annual re-union of
imperialists and royalists, which occur
red on Wednesday last, should not arouse
great anxiety for the safety of the Re
public because of the character of these
meetings. The imperialists themselves
divided into two groups, holding separate
banquets, one of which drank the health
of Louis Bonaparte and sent message
of homage to Empress Eugene, while
the other was completely devoted to Vic
tor Napoleon.
The occupation of Adrara, the pr1nc1-
pal city of the Touat Oasis of North
Africa, by General SERVER is considered
a success for French arms of no little
Importance. General SERVER has now
complete possession of three groups OF
Sharan GASES; and this has been accom-
plished without striking a blow, and IL
he has been able to penetrate the Touat
Oasis with the feeble escort at his COM
mand, it would appear that the French
are masters of the region stretching be-
tween Algeria, Tunisia, Tripoli and Mo-
rocco.
United States Ambassador Porter's
participation in the fete in the village
of Clermont recently was the occasion OF
quite a Franco American demonstration.
1t was the first time an American Am
bassador had ever visited the place.

Washington. Aug. 1S.-Archbishop
Chappelle, the Apostolic delegate to the
Philippines, has written to one of the
pastors here that his investigation of
Church affairs there is about ended and
he expects to make his personal report to
the Pope early in November. 1t is not
stated however, whether his views on
the retention of the ecclesiastical proper
ty by the local friars coincide with
those of DR.. Nozaleda, Archbishop of
Manila, who is outspoken in their favor.
For some time past, there have been
rumors that DR.. Chappelle is strongly in
favor of the friars, but nothing definite
on the subject will be known until he
acquaints Pope Leo with the result of his
observations. DR.. Chappelle will not re-
turn TO his see before next spring as
he intends to spend the winter in France.
