Smashed Lily Whitism.

Several weeks ago when United
States District Attorney Vaughan, of
Alabama, was removed from office by
the President, it was believed that the
Lily White" movement OF the Re,
publican party in the Southern States
would be abandoned; but up to the
present time it seems to have spread
considerably. No formal statement
followed the Presidents action, but it
was generally interpreted as meaning
that the Administration did not favor
such a movement On Monday of last
week the President removed another
Lily White" leader, Julian H. Bing
ham, Collector Of Internal Revenue for
Alabama. and appointed Joseph A.
Thompson, who fought for the admis-

WRECK ON NORTHWESTERN.
Three Killed, Four Fatally Injured and
 Thirty-four Others Hurt.

Owotanna, Minn., Aug 31.-The wreck on the Northwestern road five miles west of here last night was prob ably the worst that ever happened in this section of the state. Three persons are dead, four are fatally injured and 34 others received injuies, some of them of serious character. Investigation shows that the storm which wrought such damage to the train was but 100 feet in width. From all reports 1t is evident that the engine escaped the fury of the tornado by but few feet but it remained standing on the track while the six coaches in the train were picked up as if they were feathers and rolled over and over down the steep en- bankment. Four of the coaches caught the full fury of the storm and were car- ried much further than were the other two. In these four coaches occurred all of the deaths and the majoity of the injuries. The baggage carried the tur- nadoes full force, and vas splintered.
 The storm destroyed the grain stocks of Thomas Raika, upon whose farm the wreck occurred: then passed directly between his house and barn, leaving them unharmed.. It then passed north west through Medford. a town on the Milwaukee road, where a number of barns were demolished and several houses and other buildings over turned

GENERAL GOBTN DENOUNCED.
Philadelphia Central Labor Unton cts on His "Shoot" Order.

Philadelphia, Aug. 31.-The Central Labor union of Philadelphia at it's reg ular meeting to- day unanimously adopted a resolution denouncing Briga-
 dier-General J. P. $. Gobin, in com- mand of the troops now on duty in the
 anthracite coal fields, for issuing an or
 der calling on his men to shoot strikers
 if they. resist the authority of the
 troops. The resolutions set forth that
 it is illegal for the general to issue an
 order to kill citizens of Pennsylvania
 who are guaranteed a trial by jury for
 any offense they may commit. The
 resolutions request Governor Stone to revoke the commission of General Co., bin, and the civil authorities are asked to have the general indicted and tried for threatening the lives of citizens of the state of Pennsylvania
 The secretary of the union was in- structed by the union to send letter of protest to Governor Stone for the al- legged breaking of promise that he is said to have made to the three anthra- cite district presidents to the effect that he would not permit the state troops to escort non-union men to and from the | mines. It is claimed that the governor made this promise to Presidents Nich- oils, Duffy and Fahy on the occasion of their visit to Harrisburg in May.

sHAM THE LOWER RAPIDS
Hazardous Explot of Carlisle D. Graham
 at Niagara.

Niagara Falls, N. T., Aug. S1.-Car- lisle D. Graham swan from the whirl- pool below Niagara Falls through the lowed rapids to Lewiston this afternoon.
 Graham made better swim than he did on the 9th of September, 1901, when
 Maud Willard attempted to navigate
 the upper rapids in Grahams barrel and was suffocated. Graham to-day
 wore a life preserver about his waist and a neck float He entered the water at BY. The swift running current
 whirled the swimmer to the center of the stream and for nearly half an hour he battled with the waves. As far as
 the Devils Hole it appeared compara-
 lively easy for Graham and then he
 plunged into rough water than many
 times hid him from sight. Only once,
 however, was he in danger. A current
 suddenly tossed him toward the shore
 dangerously near a big boulder that showed threateninglys above the sur face. By desperate swimming he just avoided the rock and was carried on
 down stream. Below the Devils Hole where the river narrows Graham had another hard battle.. For time he was
 completely hidden from view and the hundreds of spectators on the bridge and along the banks grew greatly eX- cited. Graham soon appeared in the smoother water where the river widens
 and the crowd cheered him heartily. He
 declined to enter a boat and swan tc
 the shore just below the new trolley
 bridge. .t .5.. | After a rub down Graham said he fel l no bad effects from his hazardous swim

Newport, R. l., Aug. 31.-Under cov- CT of fog and the blackness of night the North Atlantic fleet commanded by Rear Admiral Higginson slipped its cables in Menemsha Eight.

On land, from Rodman at New Bedford, to Wright at Fishers Island every forti fication is manned by artillerymen and every headland is patrolled by signal men just as carefully as if really hos tile fleet were about to descend upon this part of the seaboard.
 The actual war period began at the eX- piration of the forty eight hour of prep aration. and while the fleet appeared to take things easy during that interval 1 the land forces under supreme command of Major General Macarthur were drill ed at the guns and at signal station with all the vigor that forecasts real conflict.
 Never in the history of this country has such a grim aspect been given to the defenses which guard New Bedford, the cities on Narragansett bay, the Con- necticut shore and more important even the city of New York from attack un- der cover of Marthas Vineyard and adjacent islands, and through the great waterway-Long Island sound.
 Tonight when taps sounded at all the forts nearly 5000 artillerymen went to sleep beside their guns ready to spring up for action when the alarm should be sounded. On the walls oi fortificatins paced guards and along the beaches sharp eyed signal men swept the sea with their night glasses fever ishiy anxious lest the light of a hostile war vessel be taken for that or friend ly merchant craft.
