5URNED AT THE STAKE.
Negro Tortured to Death by a Mob at
Lansing, Texas.

Lansing, Texas
Dudley Morgan, a negro, was burned
to death at Lansing, Texas. A crowd
Of 900 men, most of whom were armed
took him from the officers on the arrival
of the train. Morgan was taken to the
home Of his victim, Mrs. Mckay, wife
of Section Foreman Mckay, who iden-
tilted him as her assailant. A species Of
trial was arranged by the leaders Of the
mob. Morgan confessed his crime and
implicated another negro. A large field
was selected for the cremation. A stake
was driven into the ground, and to this
the covering black was bound until he
could only move his head. Heaps Of in
fammable material were then piled about
him.
The husband of the abused woman ap-
piled the match and the pyre was soon
ablaze. The negro was tortured in hor-
rible manner. The crowd clamored con-
kinuously for a slow death. The negro,
writing and groaning at the stake, beg
ged piteously to be shot.

WHOLE BLOCK Is BURNED.
Spectacular Fire in Brooklyn Gives
the Department Hard Fight.

Spectacular Fire in Brooklyn Gives
the Department Hard Fight.
Practically the entire block bounded by
Willoughby, Raymond Bolivar and St.
Edwards streets, Brooklyn, n. y, was
destroyed by one of the fercest and most
spectacular fires which the Brooklyn
fire department has had to contend with
for years. For a time the Raymond
street Jail, directly opposite the fire, was
threatened, and the women prisoners
were taken and kept in the yard until
the fire was out. They were much fright
ened, and a panic among them was kept
down with difficulty. The fire loss was
$250,OOO. The fire started at 1O:4O
O'Clock. In half an hour the flames were
rising and the walls had begun to fall.
Tht north wall toppled over on row Of
three-story brick tenements, the occu-
pants of which had before this fed to
safety. With a great crash it struck full
upon the nearest house and crushed 1t
into its own cellar. During this stage
of the fire the spectacle was enlivened
by irregular explosions of Varnish and
oils which were kept in tanks.

out miserable lYeS,
wrecked in body and mind
You make the American flag in the
eyes of a numerous people the emblem
of sacrilege in Christian churches and of
the burning of human dwellings and the
horror of the water tortures.
Il belieye-nay, | know-that in gen
eral our officers are humane. But in
some cases they have carried on your
warfare with a mixture of American in
genuity and Castilian cruelty"
With these words, conveying only Il
suggestion of the speakers forcefulness,
Senator George T. Hoar of Massachu-
setts Thursday afternoon, in what will
doubtless be considered the greatest To-
rensic speech of his life, denounced the
Philippine war. For weeks past the ven
cradle Republican, who is in harmony
with his party colleagues upon all i'm
portant matters except the Philippine
question, had been gathering material for
this speech.
Your practical craftsmanship" he con-
tinued, "has succeeded in converting a
people who three years ago were ready
to kiss the hem of the garment of the
American and to welcome him as a lib
orator, who tnrOnged AFTER your men
when they landed on those islands with
benediction and gratitude, into sullen
enemies, possessed of a hatred which CEN
turtles cannot eradicate. The practical
craftsmanship of the Declaration of In
dependence and the golden rule would
have cost nothing but a few kind words.
They would have bought for you the I'M
dying gratitude of a great and free peo-
pie and the undying glory which belongs
to the name of liberator."

RUSH FOR GOLD FIELDS.
Thunder Mountain, idaho, Said to Be
Ab1aze with Yellow Metal.


Five thousand men are struggling over
snow thirty feet deep in an effort to reach
Thunder Mountain, Idaho, the new Edo
RADIO that promises to eclipse the gold
of Cripple Greek and the Klondike. Word
from Salmon City, received by courier,
is to the effect that the trails into the
mountains are lined with prospectors. All
travel must be done by night. In the
daytime the sun melts the top of the
snow and the prospectors must wait I'M
til night, when the crust hardens and
the journey can be resumed. Returning
prospectors bring wonderful stories of
the fabulous richness of the mountain.
The gold fields embrace an area Of forty
miles square and ledge sixty feet in
height is said to contain gold ore so pure
that the yellow metal is easily discernl-
BILE to the naked eye. Samples are brought
out of Thunder Mountain which are said
to assay from $500 ton up and nuggets
of almost pure gold have been shown.
