SHORT HORSE SOON CURRlED.

A contemporary asks why, If the hope
of tropical countries is in some great
staple produced by cheap labor the
British West Indies are not prospecting
The answer is because the American
market is closed to them by the pro-
tective tariff and that under these cir
cumstances, the only thing that keeps
them commercially alive is cheap labor
Jamaica would be as we'll off as Ha-
wall ever was If she could get the sugar
she produces into the United States
free of duty. Without that she just
manages, through her cheap labor to
keep out of bankruptcy Dear labor
would completely ruin her; and even in
case Of free trade with the United
States. dear labor would seriously re-
tard her development
A Jamaican planter would laugh at a
man or newspaper who would talk
dear labor or white labor to him He
knows where his interest lies quite as
well as the Hawaiian planter under
stands his own economic requirements.

The Independent, which has no petty
instincts of envy to keep 1t from join
ing the Adyertiseruin an effort to rid
these Islands of the Belgian hare, re-
marks:
We do not think that Judge Wilcox 5
decision IN the rabbit case was wrong.
But it seems dangerous to the Territory
that the Belgian hare, or rabbit should
be turned loose here even if they are
pets" There can be no guarantee that
the hare will remain in its cage. We
have seen rabbits who could get through
every kind of fence and when out, and
at liberty they decline to be rated as
pets" and claim to be the regular arti-
Gle.
Judge Wilcox's decision was correct
under the law as it stands. But the
fact remains that hares and rabbits are
kept for sale here and that they are
not only distributed as pets but appear
Oh TIE menu of local eating houses.
There can be no objection TO the res
taurant acquisitions, for the more of the
rabbit tribe that are eaten the better
for the plantations. But 1t is very
serious thing for Hawaii that the four
footed scourge of Australia should get
lodgment' here on any terms or under
any circumstances.

HANG THE ANARCHISTS"
Chicago Mob Fooled by Prompt.
ness of Police.

Chicago, Ills, Sept 1i-Prompt action
on the part Of the police of the Chicago
station tonight thwartcd the scheme of
a crowd of men who had planned to break
into the county Jail and take the anar-
chists confined there and lyvnch them.
Jailer Whitman was informed early in
the evening from detective headquarters
that a crowd of 500 men intended storm
ing the Jail and lynching the anarchists.
Acting on this information, he held all of
his day force and day guards there and
took extra precautions concerning the
doors. Aoubt eleven o'clock a
crowd of one hundred men from State
and Illinois Streets stared to
Dearbon Avenue, where the Jail is located
crying; Break down the Jail, take the
anarchists out and lynch them,' and
Hawking is too good for them The
leaders were stopped at Illinois street
and Dearborn Avenue by officer Martin
Mullens, who commanded them to dis
perse. Just then other officers arrived
and dispersed the crowd
Emma Goldman is still at Harrison

present quarters"
Early this morning about 100 men start
ed for the womens annex of Harrison
Street Station, loudly threatening to
lynch Miss Goldman. Before they arrived
there, however, cooler counsels prevail-
ed, and the attempt was abandoned.

INTERSTATE TELEPHONE CO
TO SPEND THIRTY THOUSAND.
Complete New Modern Pant to be Estab
lished at Once.

Mr.. Charles p Platt, of Chicago, the
representative of the Kellegg Switchboard
and Supply Company is in the city ar
ranging for the entire new equipment OF
the Interstate Telephone Company.
The company has determined to give
Raleigh what it claims is the best system
in the country, and is going to spend
$4,000 to do this, and have the new sys-
tine in working order by December.
A new switchboard and an entirely new
double wire system is to be put in, the
system being remodeled throughout.
When the change is completed sub
scriber who desires connection SIM
ply removes the receiver from the hook.
This lights an incandescent lamp at the
switchboard, and the connection desired
is quickly made When this is made it
is supervised by a miniature incandcs-
cent lamp which permits any subscriber
to obtain a new connection in ten seconds
after the first is withdrawn.
This system is in many of the great
cities North and West. Baltimore and
Richmond are the nearest cities to Raj
eigh using it, and when the 1,20G con-
nection switchboard, with its handsome
fittings is put in the Interstate rooms,
the officials declare that there will be
nothing better in the world than their
Raleigh exchange.

Milburn House, Buffalo, N. X,
Sent. 14.-President Roosevelt to-
night issued the following procla-
nation:
BY the President of the United
States of America-A Proclama-
ton.
A terrible bereavement has be-
fallen our people. The President
of the United States has been
struck down; a crime committed
not only against the Chief Magis-
trate, but against every 1aw-abid-
ing AMI Iiberty-loving citizen.
President Mckinley crowned a
life of largest love for his fellow
men, of most earnest endeavor for
their welfare, by a death of Chris
ton fortitude; and both the way
in which he lived his life and the
way in which, in the supreme hour
of trial, he met his death will re-
main forever a precious heritage
of our people.
It is meet that we as a nation
express our abiding love and rev.
crence for his life, our deep sor-
row for his untimeIy death.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore
Roosevelt, President of the United
States of America, do appoint

tiles.
A MEDICAL CONTROVERSY.
1t seems probable that the result
OF the autopsy will give rise to a
medical controversy. The gan
grened condition of the interior
wounds which the physicians
thought were healed and the fact
that the physicians announced
positively that the kidney which
the bullet tore in it's passage
through the abdomen was unin-
Jured, were so contrary TO what
was expected by the public after
the statements of the physicians
during the progress of the case that
discussion seems inevitable. The
poisoned bullet theory might, of
course, account for the sudden and
pulling reversal of President
Mckinley's condition just when
the physicians laid such great
stress upon his improved condition
and gave such strong hope of his
recovery. The bullet itself was not
found although an hours search
was made for it. The X-ray ap-
pdlances were not at hand for the
use of the physicians and the Ioca-
ton OF the bullet is still unknown.

THE CITY DEEPLY MOURNs
DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT
Buildings Are Draped in Mourning and Grief
is General.

Raleigh was yesterday city of mourn
ing.
The bells of the city with their deep
throated dirge had aroused the people at
2:30 and in darkened chambers men and
women and little children said 1.-THE
President is dead" and prayers for the
stricken widow of the martyred President
were offered up in many homes.
The morning papers gave to the people
of the city full information concerning
the last hours Of the President, and
all day this the state of health of Mrs.
Mckinley and the policy Of President
Roosevelt were topics of conversation
and deep grief was manifested on all
sides.
The first organized action was by the
Council of State which met at . o'clock
and ordered the departments closed and
the capitol draped. Then came the citi-
zens' meeting at II o'cloc in Metropoli-
tan Hall. which was adjourned to S:3C
at night At noon also the clergy of tho
city met and arranged for memorial SER
vices today.
During the day large number of pub
lie buildings and stores were draped in
mourning, the designs in some cases be-
ing most artistic and elaborate. Among
those which are especially well arranged
are the drapings on the capitol, the Cap
ital City Club. Metropolitan Hall and
the Postoffice. Among other places dis
playing mourning yesterday were Cross
e Linehan's A. b. Stronach's, Southern
Express Comranys, Standard Gas and
Electrical Works, Boylan, Pcarce &
Company's, Sherwood Higgs & Company s,
Hicks Drug Store, the county court house,
the Supreme court building and the Agri-
cultural Department building.
The flag over the capitol was set at
half mast as well as that over the post
office. Passing over the city one could
see in a number of yards small flags fly
ing at half mast on nag-staffs erected in
the yards.
The expression of grief and sympathy
in Raleigh was a genuine expression,
evoked not alone because of the horror
of the taking off of the President, but
because of The deep hold with which his
clean and clear home life had taken root
in the hearts of the people, who mourned
him as a typical man and typical
American.
To supply an increased demand during
the day for the latest news, especially
as there was report that Mrs. McKin-
ley's condition was precarious, the News
and Observer issued an extra at 4 O'Clock
in the afternoons telling of the forti-
tude of Mrs Mckinley, and the assigned
cause of the Presidents death and the
authentic news of the day at Buifa.o.
