"AUGURs MUCH EVIL"
Tone of the Berlin Bourse Not Rel
fshed by the Newspapers.

BERLIN, Aug. 4.-The new German tar
iff bill did not have a marked influence on
the Bourse last week, operators believing
that many of the worst features would be
modified. Ocean transportation shares.
however, weakened. The general tone of the
market continues exceedingly heavy and
marked by short selling. "a fatalistic tone
possesses the Bourse," says the Frank
furter Zeitung, (which makes an exceed
ingly respondent impression and augurs
much evil"
The Vossische Zeitung begins its weekly
review in this fashion: THE physiognomy
of the Bourse grows more gloomy from
week to week and the general business
situation becomes more and more threat
ening."
The feeling Is evidently growing that
much rottenness still remains TO be un-
covered. Commenting upon this phenome-
non. the Frankfurter Zeitung says: "It is
high time that the game of hide and seek
were stopped and that we should honestly
and frankly uncover the weak points in
each company. Absolute openness is neces-
sary to a general return OF confidence"
The weakest spot in the market was bank
stock, owing to the difficulty OF various in
stitutions. The leading attack was upon
the National Bank Of Germany. and the
attack upon the Breslau Disconto Bank
was scarcely less vigorous. The shares of
both institutions fell sharply owing to their
financial relations with the Allgemeine
Deutsche Kleinbahn Geselschaft which
cOnfeSses itself unable TO meet its interest
obligation. This and other recent events. IL

system OF financing industrial companies

Up New Enterprise.

Special to the Indiana polls Journal.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Aug. 4--The
Commercial Club, whose success in secur-
ing new industries for Terre Haute has
been so great that the towns prosperity
has become a matter of comment in all
other cities in the State, has builded so
well that the club is now constrained to
give its attention to a novel situation-that
OF providing houses for a new population.
The cry of house famine is heard on all
sides and the prospect for a serious short
age in residences this fall when 1000 new
workmen will be brought to the city with
their families has caused the club to call a
special meeting for the purpose of organ
izing a company to buy lots and build
houses TO be rented or sold on instalment
payments. The shares OF the new company
will be issued in small amounts so that
the project may be handled in the same
manner that the Commercial Club has been
organized. Since little more than a year
ago three glass factories and smaller in
dustries have been brought to the city
adding 1000 new workmen to the number
OF wage-earners. Three of the glass fac
tories VIII resume operations after the
usual shut down for the hot months with
doubled capacity. A new iron and steel
mill will begin operations next month,
as will a stove foundry. a paper mill. a
manufactory of molds for glass factories
and one new glass factory. The stamping
and enameling factory. formerly the CO.
lumbia Company. of Harvey. Ill., has Just
let contracts for for a plant representing an

The new independent match factory will
employ several hundred persons.

Secretary Long Says w. f. Chandler
Complained of the Rear AdmiraI's
Book, but Made No Request.

BOSTON. Aug. Al am not aware of
any request for an inquiry or investiga-
ton" said Secretary of the Navy John d.
Long, at bingham. to-day. to a Journal
reporter. when asked about the Washing
ton report that former Secretary William
L. Chandler had made charges against
Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans. 1.-The
only thing l remember concerning the
matter" continued Secretary Long, lis
that Mr.. Chandler wrote TO me, about the
time Admiral Evans's book was published,
and asked for copies of papers and docu-
ments relating to Evans. These copies
were sent to him. Later Mr.. Chandler
wrote me a letter in which he gave his
version OF the case. That may be the letter
referred to in the article which was pub
lished to-day. l would not feel at liberty
TO make that letter public without author
ity from Mr.. Chandler. but it is not un-
likely that he would give it out"
Did that letter constitute a request for
any inquiry" was asked.
There was request, as I understood
it, and there seems to be no necessity for
an inquiry concerning the matter referred
to-"
Might IL not be taken up by the Sem
ate?"
THAT is not likely. for neither Mr..
Chandler nor Admiral Evans is a member
of the Senate"
When asked regarding the selection of
the third member of the Schley court of in
quiry Secretary Long said that so far as
he knew no selection had been made. ''If
Mr.. Hackett has mace the selection |
shall probably know IL tomorrow, but he
has not sent word yet He is probably
taking time TO ascertain If the man he Sc
lects can serve. I have left the matter
entirely To him. There are only few who
are eligible and any one of them would
be good man..

TILLMAN FIERY AS EVER
LYNCHING JUSTIFIED BY THE SOUTH
CAROLINA "PITCHFORkER."
Whites Ready to Take Down Their
Shotguns Again, He Says, III Neces-
sary to Maintain Supremacy.

MARINETTE, Wis, Aug. 4.-United
States Senator Benjamin +. Tillman, OF
South Carolina. addressed large audience
here on the race question from a Southern
standpoint One of the features or his
remarks was a plea in justification OF
lynching.
'In Wisconsin you have 5000 black men,
said he. why don't you try the pIeacn-
/ ing process and exterminate them by IN
termarrying? The idea is repugnant to
you. In South Carolina we have 75c 900
blacks and $4,000 whites The carpet
baggers, the Niger and the Southern
scalawags and scoundrels ruled us after
the until they had stolen everything
that there was in the State, and then
we went with our shotguns 10 the polls
and took it away from them. All men are
not created equal and the nIggers' are
not fit to vote. Come what may. the white
people of the South will govern their own
country"
He condemned Booker Washington's 3
scheme of educating the negro along indus
trial lines as an attempt TO place him on an
equality with the white artisan, something
that would intensity race hatred in the
South. He said that among the 100000 of
slaves during the rebellion, there were more
Christians than there are to-day among the
1900. 900 blacks in the South. 81 don't want
to uphold slavery" he continued. II thank
God there are no slaves to-day under the
stars and stripes"
Mr.. Tillman made an eloquent plea in
justification of lynching. saying that South
ern women could not be brought into court
10 testify 10 their shame and degradation
before a jury for the purpose Of convicting
n beast. His reference TO the sanctity Of
the Southern household and the Souf hern
women and his remarks on lynching were
heartily applauded. He closed with an i'm
passioned statement to the effect that the
white people OF the South will remain on
top lin spite OF the devil" and If necessary
he and his brethren were ready to take
down their shotguns again.
