HOT SPRING IN TUNNEL.
Work Suddenly stopped in the sinnplon
 -Temperature 112 Degrees.

Rome, Sept. 9.--Worlx on the sinp- Ion tunnel, which it is expected would be completed by the beginning of next month, was suddenly stopped to-day owing to the exposure of hot spring flowing 1,500 gallons per minute, while the temperature in the tunnel reached liz degrees. Refrigerators will be in stalled and the word resumed month from date. The Simplon tunnel, which is being cut through Simplon mountain, will be 21,374 yanrds long, and 1t has already been pierced for distance of |21,142 wards.
 A dispatch from Turin September 20, 1902, said that the heat in the interior of Simplon mountain was deadly to the workmen in the tunnel. The men had to be sprinkled with cold water con |stantly and though free air was pumped into the tunnel many of the workmen succumbed.

EMPEROR UNVEILS A STATUE
Brilliant Company Attends the Cere-
MOny at Berlin.

Berlin, October 1S.-Emperor William
unveiled the equestrian bronze statue
of Emperor Frederick in front of the
new museum of art today in the pres
ence Of a brilliant company of princely
personages. The emperor, the members
of the royal family and the other more
distinguished personages after the I'M
yelling, ithdrew to the marble hall
within which his majesty dedicated the
building to art.
The emperor, referring to the schisnI
between the orthodox and impressionist
schools of German art said:
I'm my opinion art is partly on a de-
viouS road lat leads far away from
the true ideal of beauty and our artists
hou bear in mind what precious pos
sessions are placed in their hands. Art
and genius must be allowed to draw
from unknown and hidden depths, but
this does not justify the younger artists
in cutting loose from every tradition
and school. The interchangeable zeal
n holy striving with which the older
masters wrestled with their ideal of ART
should present even to the artists OF
this day an attained model and should
promote self criticism, modesty and re-
spect for the achievements Of others on
the part of the younger generation"

since the fall Of 1884 when the eXposi-

everybody remembers the condition OF

NO SOCIAL EQUALITY THERE.

On last Monday evening Governor
Cha I'M erlain of Connecticut, acccnipa-
MED by three hundred or his state
guard on their way home from n ST
Louis exposition, stopped in Greensboro
for supper at the Benbow-Guilford
hotel. 1t seems that there were some
negroes along with the troops. whom
the latter wished to have received n
entertained at the hotel on the same
footing as themselves. OF course this
was not allowed. The Greensboro Teie-
gram OF Tuesday says:
Our white visitors of last night dis
played a most thoughtleSS disregard
of the feelings of southern people in
attempting to have their colored COM
rades received i'm a hotel here on The
same footing with themselves. We at
tribute their course in the matter TO
thoughtIessneSS for we are unwilling
to believe that they would have inten-
tionally brought about the disagreeable
situation which resulted. And, letting
it go as thoughtleSSnesS, h incident
shows hat the visitors were painfully
lacking in both discernment n deli
cacy of feeling.
II Ices seem tIdI dly uOuy VI hOl
ern men Of ordinary intelligence
would know better than to attempt 10
force upon the proprietors of a hotel
in a southern city the recognition OF
the principles of social equality be-
tween the races. We think The Tele-
gram is very mild in designating the
conduct Of these white men as thought
lessness, or lack of discernment Had
these Connecticut soldiers the proper
regard for the feelings and sentiment
OF the people of the south-for the mer
who were at the time their entertain
ers-they would not nave insisted on
running counter to their feelings in a
matter of this kind. Their action was
due either to bravado or a studied dis.
regard and defiance of public senti
ment of the people Of our section Of
the country.

THE SOUTH DAKOTA BOND SUIT.

We ask for information. The Asso-
ciated Press and the leading newspa-
pers Of the state, in speaking of The
decision of the federal supreme court
in the South Dakota bond case, stale
that the court has ordered the sale of
the bonds" Is this correct? Has not
the court ordered sale of 100 shares
of stock in the North Carolina railroad
owned by the state and pledged as Sc
curity for the bonds issued in aid of
the Western North Carolina railroad?
This is our recollection of the facts.
If it is that 100 shares of this stock
is to be sold the sale will be subject
to the mortgage heretofore placed
upon the road to secure the North
Carolina railroad constructor bonds"
and the purchaser will acquire only
h equity of redemption Of the 100
shares sold as the property of thu
state The question remains to be dec;d-
ed what 100 shares of the states hold
ing shall be put up for sale. Each one
Of the ten bonds held by the state o:
South Dakota has endorsed upon it
that its payment is secured by a lien
upon 10 shares of h North Carolina
railroad stock owned by the state IN
til this question is determined we dc
not see how the terms Of the sale can
be carried out.
We suppose, though, there will be
no sale. The supreme court will. IL
all probability, grant the request of
the state that the date of sale, now Sc.
for January 21st next, be postponed in
order to give the legislature time to
act pon the matter.
. The accrued interest on the ten bonds
amounts to about seventeen thousand
dollars, making h full amount due
the state of South Dakota in the
neighborhood of twenty-seven thous-
and dollars.
