TIE ENEMIES Of First Assistant Post
master General Robert Wynne, who are
nearly all in one way or another idenu-
fed with thesuspected or indicted officials
and ex-oficials in the postal scandal, are,
it is said, rebuilding their efforts to force
him from his position, and, if possible,
to bring discredit upon him. To accom-
plish these objects Mr.. Wynne's oppo-
nents hope to be able to bring about a
state of affairs which will render his re-
tirement necessary. They are doing every
thing in their power to create ill-feeling
and distrust between the First Assistant
and Postmaster General in the hope that
the latter will insist on Mr.. Wynne's re-
tirement or make his position so uncom-
Portable that he will quit the department
in disgust But there seems much less
likelihood THAT these efforts will be sue
cessiul now than there was few weeks
ago.

MONDAY EVENING. JUNE 90, 1908.

A coLoRED preacher, Rev. Montrose
w Thornton. heretofore to fame un-
known. sought to arouse the negroes OF
w mington, Del, yesterday to action
against the whites in ar inAammatory
GO, non. He denounced the lynching OF
the rayisher White and said mass
meeting would be held tonight to pre-
vent a repetition of such lynchings and
for the organization of negroes for their
ownrprotecton. After arraigning the
white race in horrid colors Thornton
said:
"The negro is unsafe anywhere in
this country. He is the open prey at
all times of barbarians, who know no
restraint and will not be restrained.
There is but one part left for the
prosecuted negro when charged with
crime and when innocent. BE law

of other methods to deal with the race
that is bent on piling its hellishness
upon our race. "
People in some portions of the North
now have object lessons before them in
the shape of vicious blacks who assault
and murder white women. The words
of the negro preacher quoted above are
calculated to do the colored race much
harm and to cause nOthern people to re-
wise opinions they had formed half a
century ago from reading abolition litera-

Kiel, June pa question has been raised
as to the propriety of the acceptance of the
silver punch bowl presented TO the American
battleship Kearsarge by the Kaiser on Satur
day. IL is pointed out that the bowl could
not be accepted inasmuch as the marine,
were not allowed to accept gifts of medals and
watches. Admiral Cotton said this morning
that the bowl could not be regarded as gift
to him or the officers of the Kearsarge but q
gift to the vessel itse.f, or rather to the Amer

AT WASHINGTON the treasury ofhcials
are reported to be planning the means OF
diminishing immigration to this country
because, they say, there are already too
many unskilled laborers in the popula-
ton of the United States. In Kansas,
Nebraska, the Dakotas and throughout
the great wheat producing areas OF the
west there is great cutlery because of lack
of men to help gather the riPening
harvests while in Virginia and many Of
the southern States thousands of farm
hands are needed. There seems to be a
variance of opinion as between the clerks
at Washington and the farmers of the
country. At any rate, there is unques-
toned failure in the proper distribution
of the available labor supply. The
farmers seem to have the best OF the
argument.

CLOUDBURsT AT WINCHEsTER.-A
terrible cloudburst, the worst experienced
at Winchester for years, occurred yes
terday afternoon. -Four riches of rain
fell in one hour, flooding streets and
cellars in town and doing great damage
to crops in the county. Three hundred
and seEenty-fve excursionists from
Baltimore and Washington are delayed
at Winchester, owing to serious washoutr
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
All the track hands available between
Strasburg Junction and Brunswick, Md,
were at work last night on the washouts.
On the incoming Baltimore and Wash
ington excursion the train made an ex-
citing run for two miles through water
covering the tracks TO a depth of foot,
and for Is miles no land was visible ex-
cept the sides of cuts through which The
train passed In addition to the wash
outs a ''dead' engine, whose fires were
extinguished by the wafer, is off the
track near Summit Point. An attempt
was made last night to send the ex-
cursionists over the Cumberland Valley
Railroad to Martinsburg, W. Va, and
connect there with the Baltimore and
Ohio Road, but the plan was abandoned
when it was found that there were only
two passenger coaches available for tho
excursionists.
The storm also caused trouble in
portions of Loudoun county. Two
Southern Railway trains, north bound,
we're delayed several hours last night by
a washout on the line between Leesburg
and Hernden. One was the regular
train from Bluemont, due to arrive in
Washington at 7:15 p. m. and the other
a special excursion train, which makes
the round trip to BlHemont on Sundays.
A wrecking train was dispatched to re-
pair the damage, and after several hours
delay the trains proceeded to their desti-
nation.

RECENTLY Rev. r. G. Fillingham, a
minister of the Church of England and
who is visiting New York, wrote letter
to Bishop Potter of the Episcopal diocese
of that State, concerning the services the
writer bad witnessed in New York city
church, declaring that what he saw was
contrary to the doctrines of the Episco-
pal Church. The letter was published
in the Gazette at the time and Bishop
Potters reply is published today. With
out commenting upon the proprlety OF
Rev. Fillingham having written the let

it must be admitted by Bishop Potter's

RAILROAD HORROR

A dispatch from Madrid says that
fourteen bodies and so injured persons
have been extricated from the wreck of
the Bilbao train which overturned at
Neierilla river Saturday night. Ac-
cording TO official information, 80 per-
sons were killed and 60 others seriously
injured. Many of the latter will die
OF the 800 passengers on the train it is
stated that only six escaped unhurt.
1t is believed that the officials figures
underestimate the number of killed,
some accounts giving the number OF
dead as 100. The train, which was
composed of two engines and 10 coaches,
was crossing the bridge when the coup
lings between the engines broke. The
second engine left the track
and fell. followed by the entire
train. into the bed of the river. For
tunately the water was low. The near
est medical attendance was a mile and a
half distant, and those passengers who
we're least injured aided the others and
did all possible until the arrival of relief
trains bringing nurses, doctors and
soldiers from Bilbao. The train fell 90
feet from the bridge to the river bed,
the coaches piling up in a mass OF
splintered wood and iron work. The
scene is described as horrifying. Many
corpses were carried down the stream,
which was actually Redeemed with blood.
1t was found impossible to extricate
numbers of the injured, who were pin
toned under the wreckage. A railway
guard was arrested in the act of robbing
the dead and narrowly escaped lynching.
