DISFRANCHISES
THE NEGROES

Raleigh, y. C.. Aug. 2-After one of
the most bitterly contested campaigns
ever known in North Carolina, the
Democrats and white supremacy trl-
umphed to-day by majority of about
10000.
To-day's election disfranchises the
negro and changed the State Legisla-
ture from it's combination majority of
Republicans and Populists to straight
Democratic. insuring the defeat of
Marion Butler for reelection as Unit
ed States senator.
The negroes, as a general thing, re
manned away from the polls to-day.
The election, unexpectedly, passed OF
without any trouble, excepting at a
little town named Fanison. A fire
there. which started in n drug store
wherein was kept the registration
books, destroyed the apothecary shop.
the work being attributed by the Dem
ocrats to those opposed to white rule.
Bloodhounds were called out. but
failed to find any trace of the alleged
incendiHry.
The election was for state officers,
members of the Legislature and county
officers and for an amendment to the
state constitution looking to 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
negroes voted for the amendment. The
faculty of Livingston College, at Sails
bury. one of the most prominent negro
educational Institutions in the South,
voted for II.
The amendment was opposed by the
fusion of Populists and Republicans,
headed by Senators Butler and Pritch-
ard. There was full poll of the DEM
ocratic strength, which, combined
with a small negro vote and some Pop
ulist and Republican ballots, rolled up
n large majority.
Spencer B. Adams, fusion nominee
for governor, was defeated by Charles
G. Aycock, the Democratic nominee,
and all the other Democratic candi-
dates We're elected. The Legislature
is Democratic in both branches.

PLAIN NOTICE
GIVEN TO CHINA

Washington, Aug. 2.-The State De-
partment has made public the follow
ing correspondence between Ii Hung
Chang and the department regarding
the abandonment of the campaign in
Pekin:
"Telegrams sent to the United States
embassies in Berlin, London, Paris,
Rome and st. Petersburg and to the
United States minister to Toxic:
Washington, Aug LIN reply to
the suggestion of Lii Hung Chang, that
the ministers might be sent under safe
escort to Tien ysin, provided the pow
ers would engage not to march on Pc

Both of July:
This government will not enter into
any arrangements regarding disposl-
ton or treatment of legations, without
first having free communication with
Minister Conger. Responsibility for
their protection rests upon the Chlnese
government Power to deliver at Tien
Tsin presupposes power to protect and
to open communication. This is insist
ed on"
This message was delivered by Mr..
Goodnow July 31st TO the yiceroy, who
then inquired whether, if free com
munication was established between
ministers and their governments 1t
could be arranged that the powers
should not advance on Pekin, pending
negotiations"
To this inquiry the following reply
was sent August 1st:
"Goodnow, Consul General, Shanghai
Il do not think 1t expedient to submit
the proposition of Earl Ii to the other
powers. Free communication with our
representatives in Pekin demanded as
a matter of absolute right, and not as
a favor. Since the Chinese government
admits that 1t possesses the power to
give communication. it puts itself in an
unfriendly attitude by denying it. No
negotiations seem advisable until the
Chinese government shall have put the
diplomatic representatives in full and
free communication with the respective
governments and removed all danger
to their lives and liberty.
I'VE would urge Earl Ii earnestly TO
advise the imperial authorities of Chi
M to place themselves in friendly com
munication and cooperation with the
relief expedition. They are assuming
a heavy responsibility in acting other

ton to the minister of foreign affairs.

Washington, Feb. Judge William
Taft, who was yesterday appointed pres
ident Of the new Philippine commission,
left Washington tonight for Cincinnati.
To a representative Of the Associated
Press the judge stated today that he
would not remain in the islands longer
than two years and that on his return to
this country ne would resume the prac-
tice of law He would not he said be
appointed at any time governor general
Of the Philippines. He realized the fact
that the mission of the commission was
a most difficult one, but he had strong
hopes of being partly instrumental in
giving to the Philippines a civil govern
ment and o code which would secure to
them the fullest possible measure of lib
ertv and security to life and property.
This he thought was worthy the amb-
ton of any man and though he did not
doubt that the work in contemplation
wiIlld be beset by many serious difficulties
that fact did not deter him IN the least.
No great work had ever vet been accom-
plished without I1indrances, and he felt
sure that the end sought fully justified
the effort He had no Interior motive,
he said. in accepting the presidency OF
the commission and he had no other
thought than to return to the practice
Of his profession at the end Of two years
which. he believed. would be occupied in

MINISTERS HIT BACK AT HIM
OVerhoIser's Call for a Citizens Meet
ing Calls Ont an Answer.

Guthrie, o. T., Feb. 7.-"Uncle Henry
overholser's startling call for a meeting
of the business men Of Oklahoma City
to resist the crusade of the Anti-Saloon
League has drawn forth the following
utterance from a committee of ministers
OF that city:
On last Sabbath several ministers Of
this city made the simple request Of heir
congregations that they rally to the sud
port CT the officials in the better tn
fo1oement Of the laws Of the city and ter
ritory with respect TO gambling houses
ant saloons, namely That the gambling
houses be closed as absolutely as St is
possible for human vigilance to do II;
a'so that the saloons be required TO shut
up at midnight and to cease selling IL
quors on the Sabbath day.
This reasonable request is met with a
call for a mass meeting to be held at the
opera house tonight TO oppose such a
movement. To say the least, It requires
a good deal Of presumption on the part Of
any citizen to Issue such a call at this
time, standing as we are just now in the
black shadow Of Mrs. Queenan's MUIR
der. Every mother who loves her home;
every father who loves his family; every
citizen who has any sense of decency or
one spark Of self-respect. ought to feel
himself grossly insulted and outraged
by even the intimation Of such a mass
meeting as is proposed at the opera
house tonight.
fVe wish to warn every one who at
tends that meeting as a syulpa thizer
that he is warming up a viper that vii
surely strike its deadly fangs into him
sooner or later.
