People.

HOMBURG, Aug. 1.-THE city of HON.
burg was astir early today to witness
the arrival of King Edward but as his
majesty had specially requested tnat

BURNED At STAKE
MAINS OF JOE WASH
INGTON
PROOF OF GUILT WAS ABSOLUTE
Condemned Man Was Game and
Went to His Death without
TremOr or an Appeal
for Mercy.

SAVANNAH, Ca, Aug. n.-Eighteen
miles south of Savannah, near the Sea-
board Air Line railway, the charred
trunk of the body of Joe Washington,
the negro ravisher of A-rs. J G. Clark,
is all that remains to tell the story OF
the tragedy of last night.
Washington was captured at Liberty
City yesterday afternoon and was
brought to Way station, near which
place his crime was committed. He was
carried before Mrs. Clark, who identified
him positively as the negro who had as
saulted her The proof of guilt was
absolute. The negro's positive identif-
cation by his victim sealed his fate. A
mob of 400 men clamored for his life,
but the leaders of the mob, numbering
less than dozen, carried into execution
the plans of vengeance they had form
ed. The rest of the mob was not per-
mitted to come within 100 yards of the
place where Washington met his death.
This was at spot a few feet from the
railway track and not 500 yards from
the house in which the Tayisher commit
ted the crime. He walked to his death
without a tremor and met it without
prayer or an appeal for mercy. He ad-
mitted his guilt of crimes incident to the
principal one, but to the end he stub
bornly refused to acknowledge that he
had assaulted Mrs. Clark. Along the
side of the railway track a crowbar driv-
en- into the earth To this Washington
was forced and bound in sitting posi-
tion. His legs extended straight in
front of him on either side of the bar.
A chain held him fast around the waist,
while heavy rope encircled the bar
and his neck. Washington's victim had
been asked by the leaders of the mob to
apply the torch to the pyre, but she
refused Her husband was selected in
her stead Washington looked straight
into the eyes of Clark as the latter
stopped down to apply the match. The
wood was pine and was saturated with
kerosene oil. The flames leaped hun
grily towards Washington's body. The
man showed no signs on his face of the
agony he must have suffered, and met
death without groan. + The leaders of
the mob watched the work of the flames
unIu WaShington's head fell back upon
his shoulders and he died. For some
few minutes longer they waited around
the spot and then without a shot having
been fired without noise and without un-
due excitement, they dispersed. The
tragedy in which Washington was the
central figure was enacted throughout
with all the semblance of decorum that
it's character would permit. Ne
groes, citizens of the section of Bryan
county, In which the tragedy took place,
were almost a unit in approving it, and
very many of them were members of
the mob that carried out the plan Of
vengeance.

commission spoke in the same vein.
Gen. Chaffee described the achievements
of CALIFORNIA; S regiments, and there We're
several other speakers. The commission
have granted $25,0O0 to each province
where cattle have been killed by rinder
pest, and this sum Will be expended in

days making minor appointments Gen.

volunteer infantry, a full report of the
taking of Mindoro.
Lieut.. Evans says the insurgents fed
to the mountains, but they must soon
surrender, as they have no means of es-
cape.
Commissary General Watson asserts
that the original reports of the frauds in
the commissary department were much
exaggerated, and that the total money
loss to the government turns out to be
only $3.50

Moses will leave Manila Tuesday to es-
tablish civil government in the northern

ERROR ON RIGHT SIDE
GEORGE H. PHILLIPS FINDS MIS-
TAKE IN HIS FAVOR.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE George H.
Phillips company has found itself bett r
off by $134,OOO than It thought by the dis

firm deposited in the bank $133 900 in cash,
for which it received credit by the bank
but which appeared on the books Of the
firm as a deposit of $4,000. Another mis-
take of the bookkeeper was a failure to
credit the firm with $4,000 worth of
warehouse receipts deposited in the bank
early in April. The deposit of these re-
ceipts is the same as a deposit of cash,

ed reduction of the working capital cf
the firm by that additional amount. A
statement will be made tomorrow by
Mr.. Phillips of the affairs of the firm,

submit to it Will have a chance to prove
their interest and friendship for us in
our inevitable battle with the greatest
trust that was ever organized.
Arbitration is what the manufactur-
ers have been asking from us for years.
1t opens a new phase entirely in the
situation. If the manufacturers think
they can stamp out our organization
they are certainly laboring under the
greatest mistake of their lives. If they
shcUld defeat us now it will only cause
a new and far stronger labor organiza-
ton to rise up in our place within a
few years that would have graver mean
ing to it. If the United States Steel
trust is wise, 1T will deal with US. 1t
is to their interest to do so. Men in this
country will never submit to being OBJ
liberated, you can depend upon that
Further than this, l can say that the
men who come out on strike at this time
will be the last to go back before this
fight ig over. There will be thousands
that will lie drawn into the struggle, as
the organizations of the entire country
are vitality interested in the fight we
are making and feel that their own fu-
ture depends upon our success. Our
position has been fair at all times There
has been no suggestion for peace that
we have not considered and acted upon,
clined to even discuss the question.
MAY APPEAL TO BAYONET.
81 tell you this question will have
to be settled in some way. If not by
peaceful strike, then by legislation. If
that fails, the ballot will be tried. If al
else fails 1 believe that it will result
in an appeal to the bayonet. 1 tell you,
there is a condition existing today that
