THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
Carmack Talks Of Possible Introduction of
Measure for its Rep al
(By the Associated Press.)


Nashville, Tenn, Sept 26,--The Ameri-
can will say tomorrow:
Senator f. w. Carmack, in an inter-
view here today, said when asked about
the publication that he would make an
effort to secure the repeal of the Fifteenth
Amendment:
Il am sorry that the impression has
been created that l am preparing to agi-
tate this question in Congress.
"A reporter was discussing with me an
article 1 had written on the race ques-
ton. He asked me if / intended to intro
duce a measure for the repeal of the
Fifteenth Amendment. replied that
had not thought of doing so, but added
that might do it just to bring on a de-
bate. That was all.
II confess that / have great curiosity
to hear the Fifteenth Amendment defend
ed by the Republican leaders, who now
take the position that the general prin-
ciples of the Declaration of Independence
are applicable only to white and not to
colored men, and who hold that the brown
man in the Philippines has no right that
the white man in the United States is
bound to respect.
"At the same time / know that any
progress toward the repeal of the Fiji
teenth Amendment depends on its not be-
ing made partisan or sectional question.
To makeit such would be to check at once
healthy growth of public sentiment. 1t
may well be that any direct effort on the
part of a Southern man for its repeal
would result in making this sectional
or party question. This must be avoided"

A BRILLIANT SUCCESS.
Miss Nav Sargent Proved herself Charming
Star


Seldom does theatrical star win heI
way into the hearts of an audience SO
quicklyaas did Miss May Sargent at the
Academy of .lusic last evening
There is such charm and grace of per-
son that her very first appearance was
greeted with sincere burst of applause
and the admiration of the cultured aud
fence was constantly stimulated by her
every act. She possesses rare personal
charms and she knows how to use them
to the best advantage. A pretty face, a
voice like ripping music, vivacity and a
native freshness, it's really no wonder
that she charms and delights to the fullest
measure her audience.
The play presented last evening was
THAT ImprudenL Young Couple, a pro-
duction of II. Guy Carleton, one of Ameri-
cas- foremost playwrights. in which John
Drew and Maud Adams made such sue
cess.
The play is society comedy of the
highest character, filled to the brim with
wit of high grade. which was simply
irresistible from beginning to end.
In addition to Miss Sargent the cast was
particularly well balanced, and each ind-
vidual character was admirably sustained.
Mr.. Harry English, who took the part
of John Annesley, was strikingly clever
in his portrayal of the character. Miss
Sargent and he made picture which was
pleasant to look upon.
Miss Gertrude Norman, as Mrs. Wood
bury Dunbar, Mr.. John p. Tucker as
Daniel Tobin, Mr.. Harry La Rean and
Mr.. Harry C. O'Neill proved themselves
exceedingly clever.
Manager E. L. johnson is certainly 20
be congratulated upon having such bril-
liant star as Miss Sargent and such a
strong supporting company.
1t can be safely said that no play this
season will give more genuine pleasure
or more thorough satisfaction.

Sparks, of Company NJ, First Infantry,
which arrived from Fort Porter, Buffalo,
N. Y, was arrested for some trivial of
Tense by the town marshal and placed in
the calaboose. Owing to the hustle of
arrivals and the fact that many of the
detachments had not established camp and
guard lines, the streets were full of sol
diers. The word was quickly passed
and a delegation sent to inform the
jailer that unless Sparks was released in
twenty minutes the soldiers would storm
the jail and take him. The twenty min
utes expired without the jailer being able
to secure assistance, and he released
Sparks. The soldiers avoided making any
demonstration while awaiting The jailer's
reply, and Sparks had secured his free
dom before the army officers learned what
was afoot.
All the regular troops representing every
post in the Department of the Lakes ar
rived today, and by nightfall had pitched
camp.

Schooner Go, s Ashore.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

San Francisco, Calf, Sept. 2s.-The
four masted schooner Clifford, Captain
Mcher from New Castle, N. S. W., to
this port, went ashore last night on the
ocean beach and now lies in precarious
position. She carried crew OF twenty
seven men. ali of whom are safe. Her
cargo consists of $500 tons of coal, insured
for $4,000
The Clifford was seventy eight days out
and on nearing this port the fog was SC
dense that the usual bearings could not
be seen. The captain, thinking he was
several. miles from the Golden Gate gave
the order to steer straight ahead. Sud
denly the ship struck the sand and swung
broadside to the shore. The vessel hes 75C
feet in shore and rising westerly wind
is causing the seas to break over her SC
it is not improbable that she may prove
a total loss.

Our Warships Keep Beirut Quiet.
fRx the Associated Press

Washington, Sept 26.-Withdrawal Of
the American warships from Beirut
seems unlikely for the present, in view
OF a cablegram received at the State De-
partment from Minister Leishman today.
at Constantinople, stating that although
his advices from Beirut indicate that the
situation is quiet just now nothing like
permanent order has been established.
1t is indicated in Mr.. Leishmans cable
gram that the departure of the warships
might be the occasion for a renewal OF
the riots This confirms the opinion held
here by State Department officials that
the quiet at Beirut is due directly to the
presence of American warshiDs of that
port.
Minister Leishman adds that the new
governor of Beirut is actively. inaugural
ing reforms there. but that it is not yet
certain he will be able to handle the sit
uatioll.
Rear Admiral Cotton cables the Navy
Department under date of Beirut, Septem-
Der 25th, that Beirut is quiet and that
the case of the American consul is still
pending.

Parks and Buchanan Make Psacs.
(By the Associated Press.)

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. s6.-Peace was
PATCHED up between the Buchanan and
Parks factions in the International AS
ISOLATION of Bridge and Structural Iron
workers at their annual convention to-
day. President Buchanan had scarcely
called the convention to order In sregu-
lar session when the Parks crowd ex-
pressed a desire to ignore the proceedings
OF their own rump convention yester-
day and proceed in a regular way. Then
the convention took a formal vote on the
motion to reconsider the vote by which
Daniel Broppy, a member of local No. 2
and who had proxy from Scranton, Pa,
had been seated. Broppy was unseated by
a good majority. AS he rose to leave
the hall Samuel Parks advanced toward
him with extended hand. Broppy refused
to shake hands with the New York walk
ing delegate until the latter apologized
for the singing words directed against
Broppy on Thursday. This Parks did
fully and when the door closed upon
Broppy, the convention settled down for
the first peaeeable session since they
convened last Monday. The convention
was formally organized and stopped long
enough in their quarre.s to listen to the
annual address of President Buchanan.
which was to have been delivered on
Tuesday.
President Buchanan in his address re-
ferred to efforts to discredit unions be-
cause of their indifference to contract
obligations.
Capital" said he. Continues to COM
bine and consolidate and it is necessary
for trades unions If they would maintain
solidarity and strength. to combine with
Others in like way"
President Buchanan asserted that with
in the last year government by injunc-
ton had assumed wider and more alarm
ing proportions and recommended that
the convention appoint committee to adj
wise with all the other organizations OF
the country for the purpose of effecting
. conference to be held in the near flu
ttre to consider definite action to be taken
with respect to this great and growing
evil"

THE RlFLED sATcHEL FOUND.
But No Money. Nor Bias the Murderer Of Con-
tractor Ferguson Been Discovered.
(By the Associated Press.)


Washington, Pa. Sept. 26.-The day
has closed with the apprehension of the
fiendish murderer or murderers of Con-
tractor Ferguson near Middleton .yester-
day, apparently as far from consumma-
ton as ever.
The suspects, Francis and Houston, un-
der arrest, are not, it is believed, the
guilty principals, but evidence has been
secured which tends to implicate them
with the crime The prevailing opinion
seems to be that they were used as tools
by the real perpetrators. Their stories OF
the manner in which they spent yesterday
has been proven to be incorrect in several
points, and until they can prove an alb
solute alibi they will be held by the au-
thorities at as least under suspicion.
The day in and around the camp has
been characterized by a determined quiet.
What amounts to martial law has been
declared at Camp Ferguson by General
Manager Norton, Sheriff Carothers and
the county commissioners, and a strict
watch is being kept over the IT'S work
men because of the belief that the leader
of the plot may not have escaped. AS an
incentive for the capture of the guilty
ones, the Ferguson Construction Com
pany has offered reward of $1,000. To
this the county commissioners have added
another $1,000.
Early today John Welsh. resident OF
West Middleton, found the satchel in
which Contractor Ferguson carried tho
money 1t was rif1ed of the roll of bills
amounting to about $4,000. Some twenty
dollars in silver were left in it; also some
valuable papers. 1t had evidently beer
ri1ed shortly after the tragedy by the
man who was seen by farmer, guarding
his treasure with drawn revolver

Losing Money on Competing Lines.
(By the Associated Press. !

Mexico City, Sept. 26-In his report,
Finance Minister Limantour on the ma
tional purchase of railway shares, says
that the government is convinced that
the construction of parallel competing
lines is far from beneficial to generality
of interests. 1t could only be justified if
the abundance of freights were sufficient
to maintain two or more lines furnish
ing profits to shareholders. But as this
condition has not arrived in Mexico rival
interests building competing lines have
lost money and thus capital needed for
constructing lines into unopened regions
has been wasted
