NEGRO MURDERER
 IS STILL AT LARGE
Officers So Far Have Failed to
 Find Robert Sawyer
SHOT W. B. M'KlNNEY DEAD
On Account of the Popularity of the Murdered Man the Affair Has Caused Indignation at Belle
 Sumpter Mines.

No trace has yet been found of the ne- gro Robert Sawyer, who shot and killed Mine Boss w. B. Mckinney in the check office of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company at Belle sumpter on Thursday morning about 10 o'clock.
 When last seen the negro was running west from the scene of the shooting At that time he wore a green shirt. He is described as being heavy set, weighing from 16O to 17O pounds. and having yell low skin, thick lips and straight hair.
 When the account of the killing was received at the sheriff's office on Thurs day Deputies Hat Mckinney and W. s. Blue went through the country with dogs, but so far nothing has been seen of the criminal It is thought that he is hiding somewhere in the mountains near Adger.
 Caused Great Indignation.
 The killing caused great indignation at the mines, and an angry posse of about 15O citizens, armed with various weapons, started in pursuit of the negro soon after the crime. The search has not been given up yet and 1t is thought that if the cit izens find Sawyer he will be roughly dealt with.
 MT. Mckinney was one of the most popular employees of the Tennessee com pany in that section, which makes the feeling against the murderer all the more intense. Coroner Paris returned from Belle sumpter yesterday and states that the feeling against the criminal is still very intense. The murder is described as an unusually brutal act
 According to the reports Sawyer went into the check office where Mckinney was sitting and insolently demanded when he was going to pay him the overtime that he had been promising him for about a year.
 Had Not Promised.
 Mir. Mckinney replied that he had not promised him any overtime. whereupon the negro profanely called him a liar. When the victim arose to resent the in- suit the negro quickly pulled pistol and fired, the bullet striking him near the right nipple. MT. Mckinney was un- armed and the negro fired again, the ball lodging in the left arm. Walking closer the negro deliberately fired third shot Into the staggering mans forehead, blow ing out his brains He then fled
 The tragedy was witnessed by Commis- sary Manager D. A. Reed and Clerk L. M. Strickland, with whom Mckinney was talking at the time the negro en- tered. They, too, were unarmed, how ever, and were unable to give any as- sistance as the shooting was done so quickly.

 AN ACT OF AGGRESSION.

Taganac, Bakkungaan Lihiman, Boaam, Sibaltng and Lankayan, all within few miles of each other and spread over an area of forty miles.

They are all unifi- habited but are shown on the admiralty charts.
 The affair Is regarded here as being without doubt the result of a msunder- standing on the part of the commander of the American man-of-war. The action Is not considered to be in any way an act of aggression

As General Corbin would only have few months to serve. his promotion would not work any injury to his juniors of the line. If made the lieutenant general, Mac- Arthur would hold that high position until June ?, 1909, when in regular order of promotion General Wood would follow
 There is some talk that if MT. Roose- welt Is President in April, 1906, when Chaffee retires he will jump Wood over Macarthur. Macarthur has served in the army since 1862. General Wood was not born until 1860. If he becomes lieuten- ant general he will serve until 1924. Gen. eral Wood owes his rise to the fayoritism of Presidents Mckinley and Roosevelt Had he remained In the medical corps he would now be about No. 40 on the list of majors. Naturally General Woods rapid advancement has created much hos tile feeling on the part of officers of the army, who were his seniors until the time of his transfer from a captain in the medical corps to a brigadier general in the line. The understanding is that Presi- dent Roosevelt will advance Wood al every opportunity, and if reelected Wood will be the lieutenant general command ing before the expiration of his term.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

A remarkable and significant devel
opment in the political situstion ha,
occurred this week, one of the leading
newspapersOfthe country and one thai
has always been regarded as strictly
Republican, having published serie.
of articles attacking President Roose.
welt and finally contrasting the Presi-
dents administration with the pre-
sumptive conduct of ex-President
Cleveland to the credit Of the latter.
The most significant feature of the sit
uation, however, is the fact that the
publication referred to is practically
governed, in so far as its editorial pol
icy is concerned, by Mr.. J. Pierpont
Morgan and the interests with which
the financier is allied. At first blush
some of the more timid souls in the
Republican ranks were startled by
these attacks on the President. but
when it became evident that their
whole animus was due to the Pref
dents action in connection NTH the
anthracite coal strike, his attitude to-
wards organized labor and his enforce
ment of the Sherman antitrust law
against the Northern Securities Com
pany, even the timid ones took heart.
and concluded that opposition on such
grounds could not but streng hen the
President in the high estimation ia
which he is held by the people.
a prominent member of the Senate,
who has the Presidents interests at
heart said to your correspondent, "1he
situation in a nutshell is this: the
President has refused to he dictated to
by the Wall street interests; he has re-
garded 1t as his duty to protect the
people from the greed of corporate
wealth by enforcing the laws which
the people, through their duly elected
I 0ngress have placed on the statutes.
lie has recognized that the working
man Is factor I'm the prosperity of the
country, and that the labOrer is entitled
TO his hire. No arraignment of the
PRESIDENT on those grounds can injure
hlm. Mr.. Roosevelt will not only be
the next candidate of the Republican
party, but he will he elected by the
largest majority ever given a Presidpn-
tial candidate He is an honest, fear
less, energetic man, and that is pre-
elsely the type of man the people want
in the Whits House The ehurl to
boom Mr.. Cleveland at Mr.. ROOsevelt's /
expense, while surprising in a newspa-
per prOfessedly Republican, is not sur /
prlsing from the Wall street stand /.
point, for Mr.. Cleveland was always ,
the friend of the street No, the
friends Of Mr. Roosevelt have nothing .

The Local Option Rill.

The Delaware State Temperance AL
lance is distributing cards showing
how the memters ofthe House ofRep.
resentatives voted on the bill to submit
to the qualified voters the question
whether the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating Liquors should be licensed
or prohibited.
Each card contains seven pointers
for temperance workers. The fr-t two
pointers refer to the organization of
the alliance aud the submission Of the
petition to the General Assembly. The
third, fourth and fifth show the stages
through which the bill passed previous
to its being reported by the committee
10 which it was referred. The sixth
pointer gives the vote on the bill. The
seventh says the fourteen men who
voted for the bill are worthy of and
ought to receive the united support of
the temperance voters, asks the tenn
perance voters if they can afford to
knowingly give their suffrage for such
men as the fifteen who voted against
the bill, and also asks them if they
want such Opinionless men as the
three who were present and did not
vote to represent them in the one law
making body of the State. The pom
Iers are printed in red ink.
