LONDON. Sept. 29.-There is published
in London this morning an interview with
the Roumanian minister to Great Britain,
NJ. Cataggi, in which the minister denies
that Jews in Roumania are subject to dis
Abilities different from those imposed on
other foreigners there. He says Jewish
immigration is not due to persecution but
TO severe agricultural depression. In an
editorial article on the Roumanian minis
ter's remarks the Daily News says that

Continent Gets steel Orders.

LONDON, Sept. 29.-The complaint is rife
in British iron and steel markets that al
though inquiries still come literally from
the United States fer pig iron and steel
billets the resulting business mostly goes
to the continent. Large American orders
have been placed in Germany and some in
France at prices below those obtaining In
Great Britain and it is feared that the
whole transatlantic demand will become
diverted to foreign producers. Some Welsh
works are even buying German iron in
preference to the cheaper Cumberland metal.

Influence on Next Senatorial Race.
What result the appointment will have
en- the senatorial race two years hence is
also a question entering into the situation.
Senator Dietrich has always recognized the
fact that he owed his election to the with
drawal Of Mr.. Thompson, and should Mr..
Thompson be an active candidate again SEN
ator Dietrich might feel himself morally
bound to get out Of his way. II this APP
pointment is TO DO considered as canceiiinE
what remains Of the debt of Dietrich to
Thompson. Senator Dietrich's candidacy will
no doubt be made on his own account with
out reference TO Mr.. Thompson's aspirations
in the same direction. II will not be sur
pristng In view Of these circumstances that
the decision Of Mr.. Thompson would be an
nounced Arst from Washington rather than

LONDON, Sept. ga dispatch from
Brussels to the Daily Telegraph says an
agreement will probably be reached between
the heads Of high finance IN Europe to pre-
vent the issue of any Roumanian loan until
the oppressive anti-Jewish legislation of
that country has been modified. Such ae-
ton would embarrass seriously the Rou-
manian government in the redemption Of

Matter-of-Fnct Procedure.

At 2 o'clock pine fagots and larger pieces
OF wood were carefully laid about an iron
rod which was driven deep into the ground,
and half an hour later It was announced
tina all was In readiness.
At 3 O'Clock the prisoner, heavily man
acled, was taken from the jail by a posse
OF armed men and, followed by q large and
excited crowd Of men and boys, was led to
the east gate Of the negro cemetery, which
is situated in the western part OF the city.
Fagots and wood had been piled high
around the stake, and the negro was Sc
curely fastened to the iron rod. Clark was
asked II he cared to make q statement He
again said that he deserved the fate pre-
pared for him, and asked that a letter be
delivered to his mother and brother. He
| appealed to his brother to raise the chill
dren properly, admonishing them to beware
Of evil company.
Finally all was in readiness, and the
word was given to Are the funeral pile.
The husband and brother OF Clark's VIC
tim stepped forward and applied torches,
and In a moment the flames leaped upward,
enveloping the trembling negro In smoke
and FIRE. The clothing of the doomed man
was soon ignited, and as the flames grew
hotter the skin began to parch. The negro
moaned piteously at this junoture, and the
agonizing look upon his face told OF the
awful torture he was undergoing. Finally
his head fell forward upon his breast, and
In a few minutes all was over. The flames
we're fed by the crowd until the body was
burned to a crisp, Then the gathering dis
persed and the town soon assumed Its nor
NAL condition.
The committee Of twelve and many Of the
representative citizens OF Corinth vigor-
ousIy opposed burning the negro and argued
that he should be hanged. J. IT. Henning
Of Birmingham. Ala, brother OF Mrs. Whit
field, would not consent to this proposition
and insisted that Clark should be burned

Gratis who arrived in this city today and

Hill in Some Favor.

OF those in the list. Judge Parker at least
can be eliminated. From a close personal
friend 1t is learned tonight that he made the
following statement: 'Tf the convention
should nominate me by reclamation |
should not even then desire to run. have
no desire to leave the judicial work have
to rush into politics.
Delegates here tonight believe that Judge
Parker's wishes will be respected and that
his name will not be presented to the con-
%vention, but curiously enough, those who
admit this are not talking Of Coler or OF
Canter, but of Senator Hill. Several times
at piazza conferences during the day the
conversation has turned on Hill as a eandI-
date. and the proposition seems to have
found favor. 1t will be remembered that
the convention OF 1894 was stampeded for
him against his wishes and protests, and
that the Tammany delegation in the last
convention nearly stampeded for Senator
Hill for vice president. There are not
enough Tammany leaders here tonight Ia
say whether such a program will be at
tempted again.

Confesses Many Crimes.

Clark was arrested and yesterday was
brought before the committee OF twelve
In Corinth. The negro finally confessed to
the murder, and also told Of other crimes
that he had committed. He said that SOW
eral years ago he killed two men on an ex-
eursion train in Mississippi. He told OF
an outrage perpetrated by himself upon a
negro woman, and also OF the theft OF
81, 500 from a physician at French Camp,
Miss. Clark said that he had never been
suspected Of committing any of these crimes
and had covered UP his tracks In a way to
deceive the officers OF the law. After hear
ing the confession the committee decided
that the negro should be hanged from a
telegraph pole In the street. Clark said
he deserved death. but asked that the ex-
ecution be delayed until today so that he
could have a farewell interview with his
mother and brother who lived in Memphis,
This request was granted. and the two rela-
tives were telegraphed for. but It was
learned that they we're in Mississippi.
Meanwhile the news OF the negroes sr.
rest and confession spread rapidly over the
surrounding country, and today's incoming
trains brought hundreds Of people into the
city to witness the execution. The crowds
became SO great that at midday the main
street OF the town was ordered cleared, and
the announcement was made that 1t had
been decided to burn Clark at $3.50 O'Clock
in the afternoon. This statement caused
much excitement, and surging crowds Of
people began to gather about the place
selected for the enactment Of the awful
| traRadV.

SARATOGA. n. Y. Sept. 2s.-Few OF the
delegates to the democratic state conven-
ton. which is to begin its work here Tues
day, have arrived on the ground, and those
here know little as to nominees or plat
form.
Talk in this direction is hating until the
arrival OF senator Hill tomorrow. II Is
generally understood that with the arrival
of the senator the situation will be ma
terially cleared. and while the night over the
governorship may go into the convention
the rest of the ticket will be named with
out concerted opposition. At least three Sc
Iections, it is said, have been tentatively
made. Randolph Guggenheimer will go on
the ticket for lieutenant governor, John Cum
neen Of Erie for attorney general, and Ed
win s. Atwater Of Duchess for comptroller.
These are in addition to Judge John Gin
ton Gray. who has no opposition for the
court Of appeals judgship. OF course Mr..
Guggenheimer's nomination depends on the
selection OF an upstate man for governor,
and ii is said tonight that II the guberna-
torial nominee is from New York, Charles
V. Bulger Of oswego will be the nominee
for lieutenant governor. Charles J. Man
ming OF Albany. who is a candidate for NOM
~ination as auditor. will be made state treas
urer for the purpose of getting on the
ticket a name so prominent in national az
well as state politics.

CORINTH. Miss, Sept. 2s.-Wrthing in
the flames OF burning tagots, piled high by
hundreds Of citizens, Tom Clark. alias VIII
liam Gibson. a young negro, was burned
at the stake here at q late hour today. after
having confessed to one OF the most
atrocious crimes in the history OF north
Mississippi. the assault and murder Of Mrs.
Carey Whitfield on August 10, last. Before
the torch was applied Clark stated that
he deserved his fearful fate.
Last August Mrs. WHITFIELD. the wife OF
a well-kpown citizen, was found dead in
her home. investigation showed that the
woman had been assaulted, and her head
was practically severed from her body, a
razor having been used in the bloody
work. Both Whitfield and his wife were
related to several Of the most promising
families in the south. and the indignation
Of the people knew no bounds. Corinth
and the surrounding country we're secured
in an EFFORT to apprehend the murderer, but
dil.igent search failed TO disclose his iden-
tity. Two detectives from Chicago were
employed, but their efforts we're truitless.
Several suspects we're arrested, but in each
case an alibi was proven. A committee OF
twelve citizens was named to continue the
search for the murderer, and these men
have been very active in their work. On
Monday last It became known that Tom
Clark, a negro living near here had had
trouble with his wife, and the latter threat
ened to disclose the secret OF a crime
ofHcers apprehended the woman. and she
told enough to warrant the belief that CLARK
had murdered Mrs. Whitfield.

Mr., c. f. Bhhngsley. chairman OF

sued the following:
To the Press of Oklahoma
Gentlemen. You were kind enough
some time ago to put in your paper an
article in regard TO this committee.
In that article you advised the public
that the assessment of the National
committee for Oklahoma was $4,000.
So far we have raised S1.396,5s at the
exupense Of sl0O.6O leaving cash on
hand to be sent to the National com
mittee 81 1858, and leaving US thus
short s7O4O2. It seems to me dis
grace to Oklahoma not to be able TO
raise the small sum OF $4,000 for this
cause. | have exhausted all the means
known to me in raising this amount.
The thought. however, has suggest
ed itself Il me. that if the press would
assist me in giving some good srrong
articles on this subject, it might be
beneficial. in getting some who have
not already subscribed. to send in
their mite.
II you will do this. assure you II
win be appreciated by other members
OF this committee. by His ExceIlency
the Governor, the Hon. T. B. Fergu
son. and members of the National
committee as well as your humble
servant
Thanking you in anticipation, bel
to remain. Yours truly,
