SENATOR TILLMAN ON LYNCHING.-
At MSrinette, WIS.,, on Saturday Sena-
tor B. F. Tillmau, OF South Carolina,
addressed large audience on the race
question from a southern standpoint.
One OF the features OF his remards was
a plea in justification OF lyDching.
IA Wisconsin you have 5000 black
men !" said ne. "Wby don't you try
the bleaching process and exterminate
them by intermarrying? The idea ID
repuQnsnt to you. Ia South Carolins
we have 100000 blacks aud 800. DOC
whites. The 'carpet~baggers,' the mig
GER and the southern scslawsgs and
3 ,ou udrels ruled Us after the war,
until they had stolen everything
that there was in the State. Then
we went with our shotguns
to the polls and took it away from
them. All men were not created equal,
aud the 'niggers' are not fis to vote.
Come what may, the white people oil
the South will govern their own coun-
try.n He condemned Booker Wash.
ington's scheme of educating the negro
along educational lines as sn attempt
to place him on an equality with the
white artisan, something that would
intensity race hatred 10 the South. he
said that among the 100000 slaves
during the civil war there were msre
Christians than there are today among
the 1900, 600 blacks in the South. II dc
not want to uphold slavery" he contin'
ued. 81 thank God there are no slaves
today under the Stars and Stripes"
Mr.. Tillmsn made an eloquent plea IN
justification of lynchipg, saying thSt southern
women could not be broughS into court to
testify to their shame and degradation before
a Jury for the purpose OF convieting beast
His reference TO the sspctity OF the southern
household and the southern women and bis
emarks on lynching were heartily spplsuded
he closed with an impss,ioned statement L
the effect that the white people OF the south
YOU d remain on top Tin spite OF the devil,
and IF necessary he and his brethren were
ready to take down their shotguns again"

The Strike situation.

Pittsburg, August 5.-"It is now up
TO President Shsfier to issue the official
call for the general strike. The Presi-
dent is vested with full power to act,
and the situation is practically 10 his
hands. Just when the strike order will
be issued, | am unable 10 state, but 1t
will be soon.n This statement was
made by Secretary Williams. of the
Amaleamated Association, OF 10 O'Clock
this morning. He supplemented the
statement with an emphatic assertion
that himself and President Shaffer
made no promise to J. 7. Morgan q
week ago lsss Saturday 10 which they
agreed to come to certain terms.
New York, August 5.-There was 3
we'll defined report this morning that
the officials OF the United States Steel
Corporation would issue q statement
today giving the position OF the trust
10 the present strike 10 order to offset
the statement made by President
Shsffer and Secretary Williams OF the
Amalgamated Association Saturday,
but thorough canvass revealed no one
who conld definitely assert that such
statement would be givsu out.
Pittsburg, Aug. 5.-The Amslga'
mated Association OF iron, steel and tin
workers, it Is said, is under written
contracts for one year with the mills Of
the Federal Steel Company, the Ne
tionaI Steel Company and with all but
two mills OF the American Tin Plate
Company. 10 the latter instance the
terms OF the contract were violated
when the present strike was ordered
early 10 July. Ia view OF the above,
we'll informed persons here express the
doubt that the great strike will spread
further. Such action. it is argued,
would destroy public faith in contracts
made with the labor organizations.
Welsville, o., Aug. 5-Yesterday
was the quietest day Wellsville has ex-
perieuced for many weeks. Is is gen.
orally believed that il the labor organ
izations would keep their hands off, the
troubles, 90 far as the Wellsville mills
are concerned, would soon be thing OF
the past. Several msmbers of the asso-
citation deserted the strikers this morn
ing and returned TO work.
Pittsburg, Aug. 3 -Within week
an order for a general strike among the
Iron and Steel workers will be Issued.
It will be promulgated by Theo. g.
Shaff.r, president Of the Amalgamated
Association OF Iron, Steel and Tin
workers. He was vested with this gu.
thorily at the meeting OF the executive
board after the futile conference 10 New
York Saturday. This statement was
given out by the president OF the or
eanization at noon today. De says
there will be DO meeting OF the execu-
tive board unless request comes from
the other side. Shsfier expects 10 issue
an order for general strike within the
next week.
Wheeling, ". Vs., Aug. 5.-The big
strike has suspended all OF the trust
mills in this district with the exception
Of the Bellsire steel plant and the
Rivaraide.

He overlooked the fact that his remark
would reflect upon the attitude OF the
United States toward the two little
struggling South African republics, to
which not even a word OF sympathy
has been given by their big sister on
this eide Of the Atlantic. Heals made
no reference to the iAct that instead o

Negro Murderer Electrocuted.

Sing Sing, N. Y, Aug. 5.-Beniamip
Pugh was shocked to death in the
electric chair in Sing Sing prison this
morning a current OF LOO volts was
turned on and was gradually increased
20 1000 volts. The murderer vas
given three distinct shocks and was
pronounced dead at 6:07. Warden
Johnson and Electrician Davis after
the execution expressed the opinion
that it is more difficult to kill a negro
10 the electric chair than white man.
Pugh shot and killed John Tiegen, q
waiter 10 a Brooklyn restaurant, on
August % last. The murder was the
outcome of quarrel between the man
because Pugh refused to pay ten cents
for meal he had eaten 10 the place.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION
TIE State democratic convention
will assemble 10 the Armory hall,
at Norfolk, at noon, on We'd
nesdsy, August IA, for the nomi.
nation of candidates for governor,
lieutenant governor and attorDey-gen-
eral, the election OF State chairman
and the choice the State central COM
mittee.
Il is now settled that State Senator
w. P. Barksdale, OF Halifax, will be
the temporary chairman of the conven-
convention, and that Senator Glass, OF
Lyncb5urg, will be the permanent
chairman if his health permits.
Mr. Montague will certsioly be nomi-
mated for governor on the first ballot.
The only contests will be that for the
second and third places, and 1t now
seems probable that there will be no
great fight for the Acknowledgements
ship, though the names Of two or more
gentlemen will be placed before the
convention. The belief is general that
one of the candidates will have SUI
ficieut following to insure bis nomina-
ton on the first ballot. That one is
Capt. ]. L Willard. though the friends
Of Mr.. LIE Cato, of Accomsc, will strong"
ly, urge his claims. Mr.. J. A. JEFF
fries has the strongest following for
Encouragement and his many friends
claim that he will win, though Judge
Robertson, OF Roanoke, ia being pushed
for the position by his friends.
The platfJrm, it is generally agreed,
will be a conservative one, add will
make little or no reference to national
issues. There is desire on the part OF
some to have the convention mske
some declaration on the constitutional
con vention. and it 10 possible that such
action will be taken.

THE DUKE Of Marlborough resen's
the statements made in the EOglIsn
press that Blenheim Palace was only
rendered available for such purpos's as

next Saturday by the lavish expend-

mas caused statement to be published
denying this end asserting that at the
death of his father the capital sum OF
81. 5S3 73O was set free, of which Sl77,-
200 was expended on the palace and it's
gardens. Doubtless the Vanderbilt for
tune came 10 handy for the Duke 10

THE STATE CONvEN TON.

As stated in Saturdays Gszstle,
when the constitutional convention ad'
iourned that day, 1t was to meet again
on the 22d of the month. The outrage
com mittee also will not meet again IN
til Monday, the 19lh. II will then re-
main in continuous session, and hopes
to have q report ready for the conyen-
ton by the following Thursday. Fne
convention has been In session nearly
wo months, and has not passed on
single measure, and, as regards the
most important questions, the members
are widely at variance. When they
meet again the party mandate will be
known from the Norfolk convention,
the cobwebs OF doubt on several sub
iects will be settled 10 that body, and
The political members OF the constitu-
.ional body will feel much more at
ease.
The contest OF Treat against Gregory
for a seat 10 the convention was the
main business OF Saturday. Mr.. Gil
lespie. a member OF the committee on
election, requested the convention 10
have the ballots at Gold Harbor pre-
cine. brought before the committee foI
examination. The chairman oil the
committee resisted the appeal on the
ground that only FIVE votes were in
yolyed, and that they could not change
the result. Many speeches were MADE
for and against the proposition, and
there was much parliamentary spar
ring. The resolution was finally ADOPT
ed by large msjorily. and the con
yertiop ordered the books.
Mr. Withers, chairman OF the commit
tee on reduction of expenses, made fur
Their report, recommending that the ap
propristion OF State fluids to any sohoo
