that the negroes were up in arms
and threatening to exterminate the

The scene of the trouble is at or
near Balltown, where negro was

saulting white woman. This was
not the cause, however, of the muir

NO SOCIAL EQUALITY.
Gov. Aycock Tells Negroes That the Law
Which Separates whites and Blacks
Is Inexorable.

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 3O.-Gov. Aycocls
yesterday opened the negro state
fair in an address in which he urged
the negroes to build up q society
among themselves, founded on cul-
ture, intelligence and virtue. In the
course of the address he referred to
President Roosevelt dining Booker T.
Washington and said to the negroes
that their best friends lived in the
south. He told them they did not
need recognition by the president, as
it would avail nothing in the south.
He said: 1.-THE law which separates
you from the white people in the
state socially has been and always
will be memorable, and it need not
concern you or me whether the law
is violated elsewhere. it never will be
violated in the south. Its violation
would be to your destruction as well
as to the injury of the whites" He
pledged the best efforts of the whites
to aid the negro, but told them that
social equality was an idle dream.
In reply DR.. C. H. King, promi-
nent negro minister of the Methodist
church, said the negroes did not want
social equality, that neither. he nor
his people wanted to sit down at the
dinner table of the whites, and that
they were not in sympathy with any
such idea.

THE BRooKLYN's SCARS.
In Santiago Battle schIey's Fiagship Rs
ceived 20 Per Cent. OF Hits from
the Spanish Vessels.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The cross ex--
animation of Admiral Schley began'
yesterday before the court of inquiry
and hardly more than third of the
ground was covered when the court
adjourned at four o'clock.
Admiral Schley concluded his direct
examination, which continued only
about ten minutes after the court
convened, with n statement Of the ef-
feet of the fire of the respective fleets
at Santiago, showing that 80 per cent.
of the hits suffered by the enemy
were scored by the Brooklyn's five
inch guns, while his ship received 20
per cent. of the hits from the Spanish
ships. Capt. Lemly's cr0ss-examina-
ton was very searching. Admiral
Schley, however, appeared to be I'M
ruffled throughout the examination,
frankly admitting on several occasions
that he could not remember little de-
tails after the lapse of three years.
One line of inquiry which the Judge
advocate tried to press, to show that
Admiral Schley did not proceed with
dispatch" from Key West to Cienfue--
gos, by attempting TO contrast the.
speed made between Charleston and
Key West with the time between Key
West and Cienfuegos, was curtailed
by decision of the court, which con-
fined the questions to the time sub.
suquent to May 10, the day on which
the flying squadron left Key West.
The judge advocate in his cross-ex-
animation dwelt upon the interview
between Admiral Sampson and Com
modore Schley ut Key West before
the departure of the flying squad.

Admiral Sampson instructed him not

UNDER GREAT DIFFICULTIES.
Gen. Greedy Tells of the Laying of Tele-
graph and Cable Lines In tho Phil
ippine Islands.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Gen. Greedy,
chief signal officer, in his annual re-
port, says: "The operations of the
signal corps have been co-existent
with the operations of the army of
the United States, not theoretically,
but on broad lines and activities
which have comprised practically the
entire area, not only of the United
States proper, but also of Alaska, Gu
ba, Porto Rico, the Philippines and q
portion of China. There has been con-
structed 1886 miles of telegraph line
in Alaska and arrangements have
been made with the Canadian govern
ment to use its lines to Alaska. The
signal corps operates 3,34s miles of
telegraph in Cuba, an increase of 1862
miles during the year. The operations
of the corps in the Philippines have
been very extensive, there having
been erected 4,S51 miles of telegraph
line, an increase of 2.O54 during the
year.
Concerning the work of the corps in
the Philippines Gen. Greedy says: eff
the officers and men of the signal
corps had struggled only against the
natural disadvantages they were I'M
der, their work in the Philippines
would have commanded commenda-
ton; but to this must be added the
extreme difficulties arising from the
practically constant efforts of the in
surgents to destroy indispensable
means of inter-communication In the
region southeast of Lagunade bay,
Santa Cruz to Antimoan and thence to
the head of the gulf of Ragay, the in
surgent troops had caused no end of
trouble and annoyance, not only by
the cutting of the wire, but by the re
moval or destruction of considerable
stretches of line. Destruction of sec
tions of two, three or even five miles
of line was not unusual, but the cli-
max was reached in Santa Cruz in the
total destruction of IS miles of line,
every insulator being broken, every
bracket destroyed or removed, every
pole cut down and the entire wire car.

DESTROYED BY ACID.
Warden of Auburn Prison Quickly
Disposed of Czolgosz' Body.
Autopsy Showed That His Brain Was Nor
mai and His Body Healthy - Warden
Mead Received Hundreds of
Threatening Letters.

Auburn, n. y, Oct. 20.-The ply
sicians holding the autopsy de-
cided, after a critical examination,
that Czolgosz's brain was normal If
not above normal. Prison Superin-
tendent Collins made the following
statement to the Associated press:
"Just consider that within about
six weeks from the death of his dis
tinguished victim, Czolgosz was regu-
larly tried, convicted, sentenced and
executed, and this despite the fact
that the law compelled us to give him
four weeks to prepare for death. All
has been done in dignified way, and
the greatest credit is due to Warden
Mead for the care he has taken to
strip the case of sensationalism. The
execution was one of the most sue
cessful ever conducted in the state.
Extraordinary care had to be taken
in the case, because both the warden
and I received hundreds of threaten
ing letters, many of them asserting
in violent and Incorporate language
that the prisoner would never be put
in the chair. / have decided for the
present that we will not destroy any
of the hundreds of letters written to
Czolgosz, the warden and myself as
to the case. Eventually they VIII be
destroyed, but it has struck me that
perhaps we should make list of
them, especially of those letters
signed with full and proper names,
in which coincidence was offered to
the prisoner or threats against us
were made. My plan is to get the adj
dress of these people and keep the
list for police reference. believe
that there may come n time when
such list would be valuable in run
ming. down anarchists
After the autopsy the body was
placed in black stained pine coffin,
every portion of the anatomy being
replaced. Shortly afterward it was
taken to the prison cemetery, and an
extraordinary precaution taken to
completely destroy it. A carboy of
acid had been obtained and poured
upon the body in the coffin after it
had been lowered into the grave.
Straw was used in the four corners Of
the grave as the earth was put in to
give vent to such gases as might form.
1t is the belief of the physicians that
the body will be entirely disintegrat-
ed within 12 hours. During that time
and as long as deemed necessary a
guard will be kept over the unmarked
grave.
Valdez Czolgosz and Valdez Thom-
as Bandowski, brother and brother-in-
law of the assassin, called Mt the pris- |
on ut two o'clock. They sent word
into Warden Mead that they wished |
to see the body of Leon Czolgosz. The
warden told them that the body had
been buried for more than an hour
and that if they wished he would send
n guard to guide them to the grave.
They answered that they did not care
to go to the cemetery, but were anx-
ious to arrange for the collection of
the insurance on the life of the dead
murderer and asked that certificate
Of death be given to them. The war
len promised them certificate and
they departed. The insurance about
which they talked is supposed to be
n fraternal society to which the
murderer belonged.
