The CAUSE OF ZoLA's DEATH.
The Autopsy Reveals Nothing New, Nine.
Zola Lies speeChless
(By the Associated I'ress.)

Paris, Sept. 30.-The autopsy on the
remains of Emile Zola has resulted in
an official declaration that he died from
asphyxiation, caused by carbonic oxide
fumes.
The post mortem showed thai the
novelist fell into densely saturated
atmosphere as he attempted to open
window and was suffocated.
Nine. Zola, it was further declared
owned her life to the position OF the
bed.
A medical bulletin. issued this after
noon, says:
mime. Zola is progressing as salts
factorily as possible, in spite OF the
terrible shock caused by the news of
her husbands death. Complete rest aAG
isolation are indispensable. She had
heart -rending fit of anguish when told
of his death, which was only COM
municated to her this morning. 1t was
followed by a state of torpor. she is
now calm. but is unable to utter word
or make a gesture"
A crowd of people down there by
curiosity has remained in front of Zola's
house since morning and his tragic death
continues to be the chief topic of the
conversation here. The funeral has been
fixed for Friday and interest is shown
in the question whether Dreyfus VIII

priations only thirty cents per head, Mr..
Hicks declared the good thing about that,
and a good defence, was that the Federal
Government under the Republican direc-
ton had the billion dollars on hand to
spend, while the Democratic State Gov
ernment didn't have the money to spend,
and had to go out and borrow it without
warrant of law. (Applause)
They talk and howl about trusts, and
/ say that a trust cannot be broke up by
law, and l have the very words of the
great Democrat Wilson to prove it.
you can't break IN a business part
nership whether it acts honestly or dis
honestly, although it ought to be done,
but you can't do it, you can punish them,
but you can't break them up"
"Aycock and Glenn and Watson didn' t
break them up, and if it can be done at
all, you trust to the Republican party,
it can do it, and will do it if the thing
becomes necessary or possible. (Ap-
plause.)
"The Republican party has got way
of doing what it wants to do every time,
while the Democratic party has a differ
ent want in every county and every State,
and always winds up with complete salts
faction of occasionally securing an office, "
was another applause fletcher, and the
speaker had to request the left hand side
occupants of the court room not to be so
demonstrative.
He next discussed the Philippine ques-
tion, and referring to the reconstruction
measures against the South, he asked if
it was not natural for Northern people
yhD cd 70 in
every home to distrust those who had
killed them. and denied them an equal
participation in the affairs of the Gov
ernment they sought for twenty years
of agitation and four years of war
to destroy. (Applause.)
He then took up Fusion rule, and said
Democrats would rant over the
Hancock scandal, and the peni-
tentiary scandal, "and it makes
me so tired that l want to put plaster
on my back, and yet you are going to
hear them talk that, and of running away
when we ask them if they reduced the
rate of interest to six per cent. and other
economic questions"
Taking for his text the statement that
the Democratic Legislature of 1901 out
heroded Herod. Mr. Hicks first attacked
the increase of the Governors salary, and
proceeded in detail to criticise the reve-
nue. law, denouncing it as outrageous and
surprising any similar legislation in the
history of legislative existence since the
first dawn of Statehood.
You ought to turn out these Demo
Gratis and send men to the Legislature
who will not appropriate half million
dollars more than it can raise" was
stated amid great applause, while the
speaker exclaimed, You Democrats talk
about education and you don't care rap
for it," brought for the first time from
the negroes the old time whole souled re-
sponse from a dozen voices: Oats so,
OATS So" Tell it," Oats de trute,
preach it," &c.
oh he calculated amid another vol
ley of applause they will talk about
Gettysburg, and the brave Confederate
soldiers, and no braver ever drew
sword, and get up a whoop, and If you
search the record you will find that all
they have done for schools or old sol

Henderson, N. c., Sept. 3O.-There was
a small crowd in the Vance County court
house when the Joint debate between
Mr.. T. T. Hicks and Hon. C. B. Watson
began today.
Perhaps 200 white people and 100 ne
groes were present, but in the course of
half an hour the house was well filled
on the right and in the bar by whites,
and on the left. seats were about half
filled with negroes
Mr.. Hicks opened at 1870 o'clock and
announced that he had understood Hon.
r. B. Glenn would speak, and having
challenged lin to a joint debate, he felt
that the able c. B. Watson, who was a
prominent Democratic aspirant for the
United States Senate, was substituted as
the speaker. it would look like he had
shown the white feather unless he had
challenged him, which challenge Mr.
Watson had accepted, on the terms that
the speaker should open the debate with
an hours speech, Mr.. Watson to close
in an hour and a quarter
Announcing that he should discuss the
questions of the day from a Republican
standpoint he proceeded at once to the
argument that the country at the present
stage of it's existence, had never been
SO prosperous as now, illustrating by
statement that as a lawyer who did
large collective business, he had never
known the time when there were so few
people in debt, and so little difficulty in
collecting what small debts had been de-
faulted.
1.-The Democratic party" he exclaimed,
has always been on both sides of every
question, sincere on none, and incom-
petent from that cause to successfully
administer the affairs of Government,
even when given the opportunity. Gap

difference, as he understood it, between

Henderson, N. c.. Sept 3O.-It is a
pity for a man like Cy Watson TO have
to take up time puncturing such puny
puerile efforts a tthe discussion of
political questions as the speech made
very best that can be said about Mr..
Hicks or his speech is that he is ap-
parently a good natured young man of
pleasing manner,with a plentiful vocab-
ulary and wit, but little regard as TO
how he uses il.
His speech today was, when sitted
down, nothing more nor less than a
notification to the people of North Caro-
lima that they We're nothing but hewers
of wood and drawers of water; that
they could attain to nothing more than
this and that the best thing they could
do was to sit down and submit, ard if
they would submit like little men may
be the tariff protected 5arons ana the
Yankee millionaires would let a little
portion of their wealth leak down en-
them by degrees.
1 have heard many speakers, young
and old, discuss many problems of roli-
tical and other economics. but I have
heard no one before who had not even
silver lining for existing clouds. Mr.,
Hicks political position is a phenonle-
non. He surrenders completely in the.
beginning of his argument. He says
with emphasisis that the policy of high
protection is hurtful to the farmers, but
tells them that the best thing for them
to do is to grin and bear it. And they
mustn't even grin if a moniel fellow
happens to be about. He riddles 1'ritch-
ards claim that the Dingley bill brought
prosperity and declares that it only
comes from individual effort and ac
tivity, and at the same time intnates
that we better let the Republican party
alone or it will come down here and de-
stroy the opportunity we have for eX-
erting our individual effort. He has
the appearance of boy who has been
studying Greek in order to learn the
multiplication table, or reading Homer
to get some idea as to the contents of
Turner's N. c. Almanac: but he is a
| speaker. He could talk tariff. Imperial
| ism national and international. finance,
! foreign treaties, and other governmental
problems a whole day and contradict his
! position on every subject once or twice
| every fifteen minutes. Therefore I say
that it is a pity for a big brawny,
brainy, brilliant man like Cy Watson
| to have to shout such shells of logic and
power as he shouts in reply to any such
| arguments.
