Baldwin was arraigned before Judge
George N. Bliss at . o'clock, and upon
the charge of murder

committed without bail TO await the ac-
ton OF the next grand jury.
A CLAIM OF SELF DEFENCE.
Baldwin made a statement which mate
rally differs from the version OF the af-
fair given by the three witnesses to Sergt.
Munroe. and the latter say that all three
told substantially the same story and as
he recited IL to the News reporter.
Baldwin said that he acted I'm self-de-
fence and that he never saw Dexter prior
to the time that the latter clamored at
his bedroom door and claimed 10 be a de-
tective
He said that he and Miss Gertle Me-
Donald OF Boston, were occupying room

night.
When the rap came on the door Bald
win said: "Who do YOU want?'

the Camp White cottage and on the way
met the same two men.
One OF them, Dexter, broke away from
! the other and as Dexter approached, he.
Baldwin. fired four shots up I'm the air.
Sergeant Munroe says none of the wit
nesses corroborate this statement.
Baldwin's statement here became a lit
tie mixed up. There had been nothing

win averred that he was on his back, and
Dexter was trying TO kick him in the face
when he pulled the gun and fired 1t pro-

GENUINE PATRIOTISM.

In report recently published in New
York contemporary Of the return Of the
big twin screw White Star Steamship
Cy,nric. who took to Cape Town 1900 men
and 400 horses at one time, it was stated
that on her second trip to the Cape the
Cymric carried the Imperial YeOmanry OF
England This organization was composed
of volunteers for the war from a class Of
people very different from those that
usually enlist as privates in the English
army Some of the men in the ranks,
said the report, were of more social
prominence and had more money than the
officers. One of the sentinels outside of
the chief officers door had an income Of
sso,0oo a year
We regard this incident Of the South
African war as one of the most creditable
TO English patriotism that that great trial
has developed. II SHOWS that there has
been no decay in English manhood and
that when their country really needs their
services the English gentleman will be as
free to volunteer as a private as were the
educated and wealthy gentlemen of the
South in '61 If any people can show an
order of patriotism equal to that of the
Southern people in 1851, they are entitled
to the highest meed of praise and to the
greatest confidence in their manhood.

SAUNDERS BEING DOOMED.
His Friends Want Him to Preside Over
the Convention.

There is very strong sentiment
among the admirers of Hon. E. w Saun-
ders. Speaker of the House of Dele
gates, in favor of that gentleman for
president of the coming Constitutional
Convention.
1t is not known that Mr.. Saunders viii
be an aspirant for the honor. but his
friends are very anxious TO see him N
the chair Of that distinguished body.
They point out that he has record for
ability in welding the gavel over del.berd-
tive bodies possessed by but few men IN
the State, and say that no man in Ftr-
ginia is better fitted, by reason OF his eN-
perence marlborough knowledge OF all
the intricacies OF parliamentary law. to
fill that high place than Mr. Saunders
Besides his eminently satisfactory rulings
in the House. the Speakers friends point
to the ability with which he dispensed
the business OF the last two State Con-
times exceedingly turbulent.
Since the determination OF Governor
Tyler not to call the Legislature in extra
session until after the November cleo
tons, a great many leading Democrats
are of opinion that 1t should be called
some time about the middle OF November.
so that the work may be completed be-
fore the Christmas holidays, and the
campaign opened in the early spring
1t is thought that the Governor looks
favorably upon November session, and
it is very probable that he will pursue
that course.
His announcement that he would not
call an extra session in July has been
favorably commented upon by some OF
the wisest and most conservative party
leaders in the State, and. in fact, seems
to have given very general satisfaction.
It is said that Colonel Joseph Button.
clerk of the Senate and secretary OF the
State Democratic Committee, VIII very
probably be a candidate for secretary OF
the Constitutional Convention.
a close friend Of William Henry Mann
said yesterday that it was not at all
unlikely that the popular clerk of the
House OF Delegates would also aspire TO
the position.
Either of the gentlemen would fill the
office admirably, having had long and
valuable experience in that line.

The proposal 10 establish an industrial
university in the South suggests line of
thought Progress and education so hand
in hand In proportion to population and
wealth the South has always been ahead
of the North in the number and in the
patronage of her public institutions OF
learning Before the war the South was
an agricultural community, and her white
population was comparatively small, but
her colleges We're equal TO the best, and
HE University Of Virginia was conceded to
be the most thorough school in the land.
These claims can be established by the
figures, but statistics are proverbially dry,
and we simply state the fact
Since the liberation of the slaves there
has come a great industrial revolution
throughout the South. Tie South is no
longer strictly an agricultural community,
but is rapidly becoming the great manu-
featuring section of the country. The hum
of machinery is to be heard everywhere,
cotton factories have sprung up in the
cotton field, and the smoke from coke
ovens and blast furnaces and rolling mills
attest the fact that the South has turned
its attention TO manufacturing. The mil
ionaire is a new product in the South, but
through the manufacturing industry and
through other media incidental TO South
ern progress millionaires here and there
throughout the Southern States have
sprung up These millionaires, however,
are not a menace to the South They have
turned their money to good account. They
have given employment to thousands and
thousands OF people. They have helped TO
build up their respective communities. and
in addition to all this have contributed lib
orally towards the cause of education.
Clemson College, in South Carolina; Trini-
u College, IN North Carolina; the Union
Theological Seminary. in Richmond, and
other such institutions are monuments TO
the liberalty of our modern miliionaires in
the South We believe that this is but the
beginning of greater things. As the South
prospers. as her men accumulate riches,
the cause of education viii also prosper.
The wealth of the Soutt, will be turned TO
good account The counting house will be
as the handmaiden OF the school and the
church.
