meeting this morning the course of Sec
retary Hay as to China was warmly ap-
proved. His reply to Ii Hung Chang's
proffer to insure the safe delivery of the
foreign ministers at Tien-Tsin or to accord
them full and free communication with
their respective governments while they re-
main at Peking is particularly applauded.
1t is regarded as in the nature of an ulti-

Called, Firmly Established in

TROUBLE IN ONE LITTLE TOWN

RALEIGH, n. c., Aug. 2.-After one OF
the most bitterly contested campaigns ever
known in the old North State. the Demo-
Gratis and white supremacy triumphed to-
day by a majority of about $4,000. To-day's
election disfranchised the negro and
changed the State Legislature from its
combination majority of Republicans and
Populists to straight Democratic. insuring
the defeat of Marion Butler for re-elec-
ton as United States senator. The ne
groes, as a general rule. remained away
from the polls.
The election Unexpectedly passed off
without any trouble. excepting at little
town named Falson. A fire there. which
started in a drug store wherein was kept

bers of the Legislature and county officers
and for an amendment to the State Consti-
tuition looking. to a practical elimination
of the negro from politics. as its adoption
disfranchises the bulk of the negro vote.
BY far the greatest interest centered in
the fight over the amendment. Many ne
groes voted for the amendment. The fac
ulty of Livingstone College, at Salisbury,
one of the most prominent negro educa-
tional institutions in the South, voted for
it, The amendment was opposed by the
fusion of Popullsts and Republicans, head
ed by Senators Butler and Pritchard.
There was full poll of the Democratic
strength which, combined with a small
negro and some Populist and Republican
ballots, rolled up large majority.
Spencer E. Adams, fusion nominee for
Governor, was defeated by Charles b.
Aycock, the Democratic nominee, and all
other State officers were elected. The
Legislature is Democratic in both
branches. Mecklenburg, of which Charlotte
is the county seat, gave $500 majority
for the county ticket.
In this city the election passed off quietly.
A heavy white vote was polled but the

voting places. In many instances they
voted the Democratic ticket
Every eastern county was carried by the
Democrats, the majorities in some of them
being 5000. Most of the central counties
also are Democratic. Returns from the
west are incomplete.
Conservatively estimated returns from
the Sixth district show, approximately,
1900 majority for the franchise amend
ment and State ticket.
In New Hanover county, where the Re-
publicans have had laSge majority here
tofore, there was no opposition to the coun-
ty and legislative tickets.
AT IL o'clock tonight Democratic Chair
man Simmond said: "I think we have a
safe majority of $1,000 and at least four
fifth of the Legislature. The returns so
far are most satisfactory and contain no
surprises

that Bresci acted in collusion with others
and numerous arrests have been made
Bresci's brother, a shoe dealer. another

Natalie Possanzini, who was arrested at
