MOST DASTARDLY CRIME.
Police Omeer Murdered While Trying
to Arrest Trio of Robbers
mt LIN Crosse, wis.

La Crosse, Wis, Sept. 10.-One of the
most dastardly crimes in the history of
La Crosse was committed about 1880
o'clock in the morning. when Patrol
man Perry Gates was shot dead by a
trio of thieves, whom he was about to
arrest for holding up a man on the La
Crescent road, leading from this, city
and robbing him of nine dollars. The
men came to the city and 1t was the
intention of the officers to arrest them
at the wagon bridge. On their going to
the bridge they met the robbers and
Gates ordered them to halt, whereupon
all three lined up on the sidewalk and
pulling their revolvers fired at the po-
liceman, each shot striking him; one
on each arm and the other in the alb
domen. Gates fell out of the patrol
wagon and dropped dead on the
ground. The shots frightened the
Sorses and his companion, Officer
Schubert, was unable to control them,
and they ran away.
The robbers fired several shots at
Schubert, but none of them struck
him. The trio then ran down Fourth
street and escaped from view. Gates
was one of the most popular officers on
the force, and IL his murderers are
caught it is feared that all three may
be lynched by angry citizens.

CLEARS WAY FOR BULLER.
Ian Hamilton Succeeds In TurnIn =
the Right Flank of
the Beers.

London, Sept. 1O.-The following
dispatch has been received at the war
office from Lord Roberts:
Belfast friday, Sept liam Hamil-
ton succeeded in turning the Beers right
flank, clearing the way for Buffers ad-
vance.
s-"Dundonaid and Brocklehurst occupied
Lydenburg Thursday.
1.-THE Beers are split UP and going
northward and eastward. Most of the
guns and stores have been sent to Kru-
gerspost.
Hart, who is operating southwest of
Krugersdorp. reports that among the
dead Beers left on the field II is believed
that the body OF Theron has been found"
Commandant Theron, of the Boer
army, was known as a great scout.
1t was he who commanded the Boer
| flying patrol that derailed and burned,
early in August, near Honingspruit,
the train carrying United States Con-
sui Stowe and flying the stars and
stripes.
| Krugerspost is n small town about
90 miles north by east of Lydenburg.
London, Sept 10,-President Kru-
| gers latest capital at Lydenburg has
been captured and the Boer forces
have split up and are falling back to
| the northward and eastward of that
| town into the mountains.
Cape Town, Sept. 10.-Sir Redvers
Butler continues his advance. He
crossed the Mauch Berg, ten miles
east of Lydenburg, and came into ac-
ton with the Beers. The occupation Of
Lydenburg, which took place last
Thursday, is regarded as marking one
of the last stages of the war. The
Beers now talk of trekking into Ger
| man territory.

Henry Black, hack driver. The
property damage is great, a conserv-
alive estimate placing it at $250,O00.
The Merchants & Planters oil mill
was wrecked, entailing loss Of $40,-
600. The Dickson car wheel works suf-
fered to the extent of $4,000. The big
Masonic temple, which is the property
of the grand lodge of the state, was
partly wrecked. Nearly every church
in the city was damaged. The First
Baptist, Southern Methodist and Trim
ity Methodist, the latter negro church,
will have to be rebuilt before they can
be used again. Many business houses
were unroofed. The residence portion
of the town presents dilapidated APP
pearance, but the damage in this part
of the city has not been so great as In
some others. The streets are almost
impossible because of the litter of
shade trees, fences, telephone wires
and poles. Much damage was done to
window glass and furniture. Many
narrow escapes are recorded.
Alvin Demolished.
Meager reports are arriving here
from the country between Houston and
Galveston. along the line of the Santa
Fe railroad. The tornado was the most
destructive in the history of the state.
The town of Alvin is reported to be
practically demolished. Hitchcock has
suffered severely from the storm, while
the little town of Alta Iona is re-
ported without house standing. The
town of Pearl has lost one-half of its
buildings. L. b. Carlton, the presi-
dent of the business league Of Alvin,
and a prominent merchant there, re-
ports that not building is left stand
ing in the town, either residence OF
business. Stocks of goods and house
furniture are ruined, and crops are a
total loss. Alvin is a town of about
1890 inhabitants. Seven persons were
killed in and near the town.
A Train Wrecked.
The Santa Fe train, which left here at
1855 Saturday night, was wrecked at q
point about two miles north of Alvin
Mrs. Prather, of Rosenberg, Tex, was
killed and several were injured. The
train was running slowly when it en-
countered the heavy storm. 1t is re
ported that the train was literally lift

cry on any people, and after continu-
Gus agitation for over a third Of a
century, African slavery received its
deathblow in British possessions at
the hands Of parliament in 1887.
That, Of course, meant that Afri-
can slavery received its death
knell wherever it was being carried
on in the Western hemisphere.
Other nationalities followed in the
wake of Great Britain and quietly set
such slaves free and went a step
further, and endeavored to make
men and women out Of them, in
which they have most admirably
succeeded. The United States held
out longer than any other nation,
and only broke the shackles from
her African slaves after a most
blood y internicine war. That the
Negroes of this country feel grateful
to Great Britain for taking the init
ative in tbs matter goes without say
ing, which fully explains why they
try to make the Fourth Of August
general emancipation holiday, in
preference to the day on which
the immortal Lincoln's emanci-
patton proclamation went into full
force and effect. Mexico, however,
set her African slaves free in 1913,
and not only set them free, but at
once set about to absorb them into
her nationality, which has resulted in
some 10000 Negroes in old Mexico
completely loosing their race iden-
tity.

OPENING OF THE THIRD AVE
NUE. THEATER.

After five weeks Of darkness, the
atrically speaking, the Third Avenue
theater will open next Sunday, Au-
gust 18th, with last seasons great
Eastern success Just Before Dawn" !"
The play is a melo-drama, written on
the lines of ''Lost Paradise" and
deals with the conflict Of capital
and labor in the mining districts oG
Pennsylvania. 1t depicts strongly
the necessity for mutual concessions
and a proper understanding between
these powerful elements of modern
society. Dramatically the play is
strong and requires a good company
for its production. The manage
ment of the Third Avenue theater
has secured all Of the members Of
the company which produced "Quo
Vadis,' ''Sapho" and the "Silver
King" last season and have aug
mented the cast with several other
actors of merit. The scenery and
costuming will be appropriate to the
play and the prices Of admission will
remain the same as last season.

PERSONAL.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. f. Hawkins left
for the mountains last Thursday and
will be absent from the city for some
three weeks or more.
Miss Elsie Palmer, one Of Seattle's
most efficient teachers, left for her
old home in Kansas last Monday.
While Miss Elsie has not resigned
her position, yet it is believed she
does not intend to teach any more
and that a Kansas Jayhawker is re-
sponsible for this state Of affairs in
her mind. Mrs. Palmer, mother Of
Hon. Edward B. Palmer, who has
been visiting in this city for some
time, also left for her home last Mon
a5y.
Quite a few Of the friends Of MI.
and Mrs. Gayton enjoyed a picnic
outing last Wednesday at Madrona
Park, Of which they were the central
figures.
Lola Williams, a notorious lower
end colored woman, within the past
week has been three times arrested
for grand larceny. She seems deter
mined to have a free ride to Walla

Of AUGUST

All Those Attending.
EMANCIPATION DAY OF
Great Britain's. Slaves in the West
india Islands.
KISSED BY PRES. LINCOLN
Was Daniel Murray, the Present
Negro Assistant Congress
sional Librarian.

Newcastle, this state, held its an
nual Fourth of August picnic and
barbecue last Saturday, which the
colored folk in this community at
tended in large numbers. These fes-
tivities have become rather famous
at this camp, where there are so
many colored folk, and all other
places which have large colored pop
ulations have tacitly given way to
Newcastle, owing to the fact that it
does things up so nicely on such oc-
casions. The features of last Satur-
days holiday were the setting up Of
a Grand United Order of Odd Eel
lows Lodge among the colored folk
IN Newcastle, the parade Of the mem
bers IN their new regalia, a splendid
game Of baseball between a Seattle
nine and a Newcastle nine, all-day
outdoor dancing among those who
enjoy such amusements and sump-
tious dinner of a number of we'll
roasted beeVes, sheep and pigs. Bar
becued meats we'll barbecued form a
repast that will tempt the gods, hence
man can be excused when he shows
his weakness for such, 1t was a
splendid days outing, and all who
took advantage Of the opportunity
were well pleased with their trip.
Seattle sent up a large delegation to
swell the crowd. Franklin lent hber-
ally Of her white and colored citizens,
while many from here and there
came in, making it one Of the largest
turnouts ever at Newcastle on such
an occasion.

What the political editor Of The
Times Of this city would do, should
The Republican cease to be publish
eel, for political news is hard ques.
ton just now. Twice has it run a
prospective Republican ticket pub
lished by this paper three weeks ago,
and neither time has it given The
Republican any credit for the same.
The Times absolutely refuses to ey-
change with The Republican, be-
cause it does not hesitate to pro-
nounce the editor Of The Times one
of the worst political montebank9
that ever reached Seattle outside of
coffin. 1t also refuses to subscribe
for the same, pronouneing it too in
significant, but when the editor
thereof wants the political news he
sends some one of his men to a sub
scriber of The Republican and either
borrows or begs the paper; and then
Mr.. Editor proceeds to rehash the 20
litical news therein and sends it out
as original political gossip, The OLD
man, who has built up great even
ing paper by selling out to first one
aspiring politician and then another
has some pretty low traits about him
from journalistic standpoint, and

nesota bank would be given a word
he, perhaps, would be branded as
having some pretty low traits from

Fifty years ago Southern senti-
ment was rapidly crystallizing in IA
vor of a government-aided American
merchant marine, which sentiment is
rapidly reviving in that section, not
withstanding the denunciation Of the
ship subsidy bill in the Democratic
national platform tbs year.
Jerry Simpson predicts that the
nomination Of Mr. Stevenson will
give Kansas to the Republicans 1t
looks as if Adlai was nominated in
order to have good-natured person
upon whom to blame the unpleasant
happenings.
Of the several nominees for the
presidency, Mr. Bryan is far the
wealthiest, and he made all Of his
money during the prosperous times
brought about, by the Mckinley ad-
ministration.
Chairman Jones thinks one may be
able to pick enough Democracy from
the Kansas City platform to stand
upon. There are great many dis
tinguished Democrats who are not
inclined to the Jones way Of think
ing.
Those who vote for Bryan vote to
abandon a condition more prosperous
than ever before enjoyed by any ma
ton, for the purpose Of trying fin
ancial experiment condemned by all
nations.
William J. Bryan has exchanged

The Seattle Republican., 1900-08-10

The Republicans are thoroughly
committed to the shipping bill now
pending before congress. Command
ing the party's support, it is the only
measure that could be put through
congress. Without proposing any
remedy for the lack Of an American
merchant marine the Democrats con-
tent themselves with merely oppos-
ing the pending shipping bill.
The Republican party had demon
strated that self-government is not
only possible, but honorable and full
Of glory, The leaders of today take
counsel Of the wisdom Of the past.
They are the distributors, not the
hoarders Of liberty. They gave free
dom to Cuba and Porto Rico, and
will give that freedom to the Philip
pines which will best protect individ-
uaE rights and guarantee the respect
of other powers. This is the impe-
rialism Of true freedom, the royalty
of justice, and will soon be recog-
nized as the crowning glory of ma
tiOnal achievement.
What Lincoln accomplished for
the black man, Mckinley is doing for
the brown man, and as the African
has erected monuments to the mem
ory of their great emancipation, the
Filipino, when he realizes the work
accomplished for him, will build
monuments to the memory Of his lib
orator.
The civil service reform plank and
the income tax plank and the calam-
ity plank and the anti-supreme court
plank were all omitted from the Kan
sas City platform. This makes the
structure so full Of holes that some
vigorous patching must be done at
once or the candidates who try to
stand upon it will find themselves
falling through, much to the detri-
ment Of both their shins and dignity.
The confessed wisdom and justice
of Americas position with regard to
the present Chinese trouble is trib-
ute to the ability Of the administra-
ton, whose purpose is justice, guided
by frmness and tempered with
mercy.
There is not a free trade newspa-
per in the United States that does
not warmly commend the Demo-
cratic national platform plank which
opposes the passage Of the shipping
bill.
With the exception of two years,
years productive Of distress, hunger,
bankruptcy and panic, the destiny Of
the nation has been partially or en-
tirely under the control of the Re
publican party ever since the inaugu-
ration of Abraham Lincoln in 1861.
During these forty years the country
has advanced by leaps and bounds in
population, wealth, material, social
and intellectual development. The
trans-Mississippi region has been
converted from buffalo ranges to i'm
perial states, bridges have been
thrown across mighty rivers, railways
have been built over the mountains.
millions of homes have been erected,
schools without number have been
built, colleges have been endowed,
human liberty has been extended,
the verdict Of the ballot has been re
spected (in Republican states), and
the republic has deeper hold on the
affections of its citizens than ever be-
fore, and compels respect abroad.

Murray, then boy of IL, with
bright skin, large eyes and an unusu-
ally intelligent expression, stood in
the doorway leading to the rear
lobby. The president saw Senator
Wilson Of Massachusetts, seated in
the audience, and, wishing to speak
to him, called young Murray to his
side, and, designating the senator's
seat, asked the boy to call him out.
When the lad returned, bearing an
assent from the senator, the presi-
dent drew him forward, and, after
thanking him, imprinted kiss upon
his forehead

who even then saw way of lifting

hung over the race, was touched by
