CALLED "SAINT CZOLGOSz."
London Anarchists Applaud Mckin-
ley's Assassination.


London, Oct! ga fairly well at
tended meeting of anarchists was held
yesterday in a hall in Tottenham Court
road, London, to hear a lecture on the
assassination of President Mckinley,
by H. Kelly of New York. The audi
ence, largely composed of foreigners,
applauded all references to saint Czol-
gosz" and his "meritorious" act. The
speakers included Enrico Malatosta,
the Italian anarchist, who described
the assassination as "a deed of hero
ISM"
kelly's lecture was a wild harangue
in denunciation of Mr.. McKinley's po-
litical career. He said that they did
not try to justify assassination, but
rather to explain it as the outcome of
1.-The oppression of the workmen by
capital"
If the killing of Mckinley opens
the eyes of the capitalists and induces
them to treat the working people bet
ter" cried the agitator, then great
good will have been done"
The Standard, protesting editorially
against the holding of the meeting,
says:
I'VE publish a report for the pur-
pose of drawing attention to the Grim
inal methods that are practiced in our
very midst. 1t may be allowed that the
form of Kellys address was not spe-
cially violent part of it being only
vulgar abuse. Yet he went quite far
enough to call for the notice of those
whose duty it is stop apologies for
murder.
I'VE do not want any Kelly among
us, engaged in familiarizing English
men with such mischief. Society is en-,
titled to protect itself against the
teachers of these doctrines"

York After stormy Voyages.
New York, Oct. 6.-Three of the big
Atlantic liners, which had encountered
very stormy weather and high head
seas on the passage across, landed
their passengers here to-day. They
were the City Of Rome of the Anchor
line; Umbria Of the Cunard line and
the Calabria, which is in the Anchor
line service from Mediterranean ports.
All brought large passenger lists, those
or the Calabria, because of the report

subjected to a careful examination at
quarantine before they were allowed to
ccme to the city.
On the Umbria and the City of Rome

number of clergymen. Two of the bish-
ops, Rev. w. b. Derrick of the dio-
cese OF New York and Pennsylvania,
and Rev. b. 7. Tanner of the diocese

CASTRO AND HIS POLICY.
Leader of Venezuelan Revolutionary
Party Discusses the situation.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Sat
urday, Oct. 5.-To-day representative
of the Associated Press interviewed
DR.. Alexandra Urbaneja. president of
the Executive Committee of the Vene-
zuelan National Revolutionary party,
regarding the present situation. DR..
Urbaneja is the virtual leader of the
party and the personal representative
of lei Mocha" Gen. Hernandez. He
was cabinet minister under eX-Presi-
dent Castro, and is prominent law
yer. To-day he is in exile in Curacao.
"The Nationalists until the present
time" said DIR. Urbaneja, "have pas
sively witnessed President Cast at
titude and actions toward Colombia,
but they are not compelled to
protest against them. Neither the Ma
tionalists nor the public at large have
ever sustained the actions of Castro,
actions which now promise an interna-
tional war. The Nationalists do not
desire war with a sister republic, nor
would they follow Castro in such a
war. On the contrary, they, as we'll as
the country at large, would refuse to
participate.
IF Colombia had ever really offended
Venezuela, there would be no neces-
SlJY Tor castro IOTclDle recruiting. dS
at present, in order to obtain an army
to punish the offending country. In
such an event all VeneZuelans would
loyalty and enthusiastically join to
punish the offender.
81 don't think President Castro will
declare war against Colombia. In the
first place, to do so legally he must
obtain the consent of the Venezuelan
congress which will not convene before
February, next In the second place,
1 do not believe the members of the
Venezuelan congress, although they
are all partisans of President Castro,
would ever consent to ruinous war
with Colombia in order to help Colon
bian revolutionists.
..Noitfcr do 1 believe in the possibil-
ity of the reconstruction of Gran CO.
lombia by force of arms. Bolivar
achievement was effected under cer-
tain conditions that do not exist to-day
Perhaps a Gran Colombia is possible
through peaceful, intellectual opera
tions, but never Dy military
force
"My principal reason for not believ-
ing a declaration of war will be made
lies in President Castro's attitude to-
ward the internal political situation.
If he intended to declare war he would
attempt to unite all Venezuleans OF all
political creeeds in solid front against
Colombia. Quite contrary is the case.
PEACEFUL COMBATANFS.

GEN. WADE HAMPTON
HE MAY AGAIN BE SENATOR FROM
SOUTH CAROLINA.
WYLIE JONES' PROPOSITION.
LET ALL AsPIRANTs WITHDRAW IN
THE OLD MANS FAVOR.

Col. Jones Himself Sets the Exam
pie by Withdrawing in Gen.
Hampton's Favor and Urges Others
to Do observation-disclosures Said to
Favor the Scheme-This, 1t Is
Said, Would Avoid the Heated
Campaign Now in Sight and Pre-
vent n Split in the Party-It Would
Also Leave McLaurin at Home.
Columbia. S. c., Oct. 6.-Col. Wylie
Jones, state chairman of the Demo-
cratic party, launched a scheme in the
political sea this evening that may
have a very important influence on
the political future of the state. While
Senator Tillman is not mentioned as
fathering the plan, it is known that he
and Col. Jones have been very closely
allied of late and he is believed to
support the suggestions of the state
chairman.
Col. Jones was an avowed candidate
for the United States Senate to sue
ceed McLaurin. He has long been
prominent in politics. is man OF
means, and gained additional popular
ity by commanding the South Carolina
Regiment that went to Cuba. In a
statement issued this evening, he with
draws from the senatorial race, urges
all the other aspirants to do the same,
and permit the office to be bestowed
without contest on Gen. Wade Hamp-
ton.
To Crown the Old Mans Career.
Col. Jones says there are but two
men in the state who he believes can
get more votes than himself for any
office he asks for-Hampton and Till
man. Hampton will not ask for any
office, but will take the senatorship IL
rendered him, and Col. Jones urges the.
younger men to be unanimous to JONI
him in crowning the old generals life
with this renewal of popular esteem.
AS boy he helped bear Hampton
on his shoulders to the gu
bernatorial chair and wishes to
show him honor The withdrawal
of the candidates will put an end to
what will otherwise be a bitter cam
paign that will end in a split in the
party. The state chairman urges that
this be avoided and the people be al
lowed to give their attention to more
profitable pursuits
His Former Defeat Regretted.
This action is therefore suggested as
highly patriotic, besides giving all fac
tions an opportunity to pay honor to
Gen. Hampton, whose defeat for the
Senate at the hight of factional Bit
terness, eleven years ago, is now deep
ly regretted by many of his opponents
at that time. The plan of the state
chairman is that all the candidates
bind themselves to withdraw provided
Gen. Hampton will accept the Office,
and that then there will be no canvass
for Senator, and under the rules the
only votes counted will be those for
Gen. Hampton, the only avowed can
didate. That Senator Tillman favors
this scheme indicates a change of heart
towards Hampton or disinclination for
fight next summer.

MILITARY POWER SUPREME.
Jurisdiction of Civil Courts over
Military Prisoners Denied.

Manila. Oct. 6.-Considerable inter-
est attaches to the case of Oakley
Brooks, military prisoner ordered TO
be deported. The Supreme Court re-
Gently issued a writ of habeas corpus
directing the production of the pris-
oner, but the military authorities re-
fused to produce him on the ground
that the only tribunal having jurisdic-
ton over a military prisoner is the
Federal Court. While the Philippine
courts were established by the war
powers of the President, the military
authorities contend that they are to
be regarded as provost courts until
Congress has acted.
The members of the Supreme Court
and a majority of the members OF the
Philippine Commission hold opposite
views, but it is understood that the
Attorney General believes the military
contention to be correct.
Gen. Chaffee, discussing the matter
to-day, said:
"I am most desirous TO sustain the
civil courts in every possible way, but
I feel that it would be very unwise
in the existing circumstances to allow
the civil courts TO interfere in military
affairs. as it is occasionally necessary
for the military authorities to act in
cases where 1t would be unwise, in the
interest of the government, to make
public at the time the reasons for act
ing. Should the claim now made by the
civil courts be allowed. 1t would be
disastrous to the influence of the army
in the island. Every prisoner sentenced
by military commission would have
recourse to habeas corpus proceedings.
Even Howard (the alleged deserter) is
awaiting the decision in this case in
order to try to secure his own release
by a writ of habeas corpus"

THE BRIDGE NEEDS REPAIRS.
Experts Criticise system of Inspec-
tion of Brooklyn Structure.


tion of Brooklyn Structure.
New York, Oct 6.-District Attorney
Philbin to-day made public the report
of Edwin Duryea and Joseph Mayer
the special engineering, experts ap-
pointed by him to look into the con-
dition of the Brooklyn bridge after the
breaking of several suspender rods and
suspender bands, July a. last These
experts were appointed to make this
report with a view to presenting the
matter to the grand jury. If it should
be found that the bridge department
had been negligent.
The experts find that the inspection
of the structure as maintained by the
bridge department is faulty. The ex-
perts maintain that the inspection of
the bridge should be done by engineers
and not by mechanics as at present
Referring to stories which have ap-
peared in print that electrolysis has
weakened the bridge, the experts de-
clare that they found no evidence of
this condition. They also say there is
no useless dead load in the form Of
mail tubes, telegraph and telephone ca
bfes, etc, on the bridge.
They find that the safety OF the bridge
can be increased by .remedying. certain
defects in the design. They hasten
to say, however, that they do not criti-
else the designer, and call attention to
the fact that since the structure was
designed great advancement has been
made in such work. and If such bridge
were now built the designer would
have the benefit of the experience gain
ed since the Brooklyn bridge was erect
ed. They say the certain needed i'm
provements to strengthen the bridge
can be made with comparatively little
cost and also state that the present
margin of safety is so small that The
necessity for repairs is very urgent.

WARNING HAD BEEN GIVEN.
Mai. Foote Says 1t Was known n
Plot Was Brewing i'm samar.


Manila, Oct. 6.-Maj. Morris C. Foote
of the Ninth United States Infantry,
who has returned here from the Island
of Samar, was in Balangiga the day
before the disaster TO Company C. He
says that Capt. Conrell had been fully
warned and had taken what he (Maj.
Foote) considered every necessary pre-
caution. Information that a plot was
brewing among the Filipinos came 10
Maj. Foote from a priest, who said that
il was in the plans of the populace az
both Balangiga and Basey to attack
the garrisonS, and that the Basey gar
rison was to be attacked from cock
pit in the rear of the barracks. Or
ders were Immediately given to demol-
ish the cockpit and extra guards were
stationed.
There is intense feeling throughout
the army because of the massacre,
which would not be the case to any
such extent had it been the work of
ordinar yinsurgents. The lat er might
have been expected to commit such an
outrage. Feeling is particularly in
tense in military circles because the
authors of the massacre We're paciucos,
most of whom had taken the oath or
allegiance and many of whom, includ-
ing the president of Balangiga, We're
actually holding office.
Some of the after effects are already
shown at many points, particularly at
Caloocan and Baulan, in the provinces
of Batangas and Manila, where disar-
lection is manifesting itself, although
it is not likely to be allowed to go
far.
on the other hand, the officers and
troops at all the garrisons throughout
the archipelago feel that the disaster
cnveys a lesson to themselves of the
necessity for increased vigilance.

TO RANSOM MISS STONE.
American Board of Missions Making
Every Possible Effort.

Every Possible Effort.
Boston, Oct. 6.-The urgency of the
case of Miss Stone, the missionary, held
for ransom by brigands in Bulgaria.
brought together the members of the
Prudential Committee of the American
Board for two hours to-day. Later the
committee issued a statement based
upon the views of President Samuel
B. Capen of the board, and the secre-
tary, Rev. DR.. Judson Smith, as the
result of their viist to Washington.
Both gentlemen had interviews with
President Roosevelt and the officials
of the State Department. 1t was made
plain TO them. they told the Prudential
Committee. that the only certain way
10 secure the release of Miss Stone and
save her life would be the payment
of the ransom. The committee was
informed that the government by rea-
son Of the constitutional restriction is
unable to pay the ransom. The
committee was also made aware
of the fact that the American
board has no money with which to
save Miss Stone. The only practical
way therefore, was shown to be
popular subscription which already has
been started. The committee heartily
approved this and began sending tele-
grams to many parts of the country
urging subscriptions.
The committee says that in view of
the spirit with which the appeal is
received, there is strong grounds for
the hope that the amount will be OBJ
tained speedily. In every possible way
the American board will cooperate
both by gift and by solicitation.
President Capen says that the gov
ernment at Washington, both the Pres
ident and the State Department, have
done, are doing. and will continue to
do all that is in their power to pro-
cure the release of Miss Stone.
