New York Democrats.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept 24.-This morn
ing it is Hearst against the field. Ii is
practically Conce led that the New York
editor has at least l20 instructed dele
gstes, the largest number with which
any candidate has entered democratic
state convention 10 years.
The field is still divided. McCarren
is for Judge Gaynor, OF Brooklyn; Nc
Clellan is for jerome; Norman E. Mack
is for Mayor Adam, OF Buffalo; the Sui
lysns are for Congressman Sulzer, of
New York, while several of the known
candidates are enthusiastically for them
selves.
Former Lieutenant Governor "Billy"
Sheehan, now of New York, is the only
anti-Hearst leader who appears to have
any definite purpose to bring all the
anti Hearst elements together. So far
he has failed. Murphy, of Tsmmany, is
ready to support Hearst, but only on
conditions. lie wants the independence
league state ticket withdrawn and a
promise from Hearst not to oppose the
local democratic tickets in New York
and Brooklyn.
II is stated that all but one of the in
dependent league nominees are willing
to quit. The exception is John A. Ford,
former republican State Senator who
was nominated for comptroller. 1t is
only barely possible that the democratic
convention will be willing to swallow
Ford, republican.
Governor Higgins has declined the
denomination for Governor Despite the
almost frantic appeals of his friends and
members of the "Kitchen Cabinet"
who plead with him to again head the
ticket, Governor Higgins shortly before
noon, today, telephoned to his friends
here that he did not see his way clear to
make the contest. When it became
known that he had declined the Bruce
forces began an active campaign, to bring
about the selection OF the Lieutenant
Governor for the head of the ticket. A
statement is expected from Gov. Hig-
gins at Albany later, giving his reasons
for his declustion.
Buffalo, n. Y, Sept. "a The Tam
many caucus has been postponed until
Tuesday night. This is for the osten-
sible purpose of giving the braves more
time to learn upstate sentiment. No
nominations will be made Tuesday in
any event. Later in the day, Charles F.
Murphy ssid; 81 am for any candidate
who eau win. This is to be free and
open convention. The delegates will
make their own choice"

TOday's Telegraphic News
Situation in Atlanta

Atlanta, Ga, Sept "a With one
thousand militiamen, with field battery
in reserve, occupying Atlanta, the city
is much quieter today. 1t is by no means
certain that the rioting growing of the
race war is over, but it is not likely
there will be renewal of the outbreaks
before night at least.
Governor Terrell has declined to de.
clare msrtisl law. for the present. He
has promised citizens, however, that il
there is renewal of fighting he will pro-
claim military Law and see that it is
strictly enforced.
Some disorderiy occurred last night
and today.
James Hoge, white man, from Macon
was struck upon the head by a brick
thrown through window by negro.
de was taken TO Grady hospital aud il
believed to be fatally injured.
Rumors OF other troubles are flying
thick and fast today.
w. w. Patrick white man is vic
tim of negroes revenge. Patrick, who
lives at l4S Capital avenue, discharged
two negro servants yesterday morning
for talking about the race war. Last
night his house was fred, the blaze was
exiuguised after loss of $500 had been
caused.
Forty arrests Of rioters have been made
according to q report of Jennings. Eli
the rioters are still in Jail, and the chief
says they will have to stand trial.
Out of all those known tC have been
killed in the three days riot, only four

ANOTHER ATTACHE OF the SmithsOn
ian hesitation, according to Washing
tou paper, has examined the crude imita-
lion of a human face in the cellar of the
old CARLYLE House and corroborates the
oninion of a fellow attache who recently
declared that it is portion OF the re-
mains of human being who lived IN
past century. 1t is said that the learn
ed DR.. Samuel johnson was believer in

sition. hence there is nothing strange In

"The Virginia Mummy" An old doc

which would restore mummy to life

remains of one who had lived under the

and Others, the discovery of the FRAUD

play. The "hesd" in the Carlyle House
will sooner or later appear equally as

MONDAY EVENING. SEPT. "a. 1906.

WHILE EYNCHINGs are, as 8 practice,
to be deplored, it must be evident to all
fair-minded people that the whites oil
Atlanta have had much to contend
against during the past few weeks, and
their evaporation of last Saturday Is no
more than might have been expected
when people have been aroused by
succession of dastardly crimes upon the
part of negroes. The ranks of such
fends are undergoing recruitment daily,
and the time seems to have come when
white women, while always encompassed
by dangers in rural districts, are by M
means safe in large cities. These are
facts that today stare US in the face.
White women living in the twentieth
century in the sight of the capital OF the
country are in equally as much danger
when within few yards of their homes
as we're their progenitrixes when Indians
were prowling about this part OF the
country. The truth of this observation
is made apparent by the recent assaults
in AIexsndria county and Maryland.
In Atlanta white women were assalled
in rapid succession in the heart OF the city.
The brules who committed the crimes
seemed to have been totally obllyious oil
the consequences of their deeds. The
excitement among the white people soon
reached fever heat and mob once form
ed is often as prairie fire. The account
of the bloodshsd which followed will be
found elsewhere 10 the Gazette. AT least
ten negroes were shot to death, ana
scores were more or less injured. While
such sangninsry scenes are regretted
the causes which lead up to them Will,
naturally, not be overlooked. In the
descriptions of the turmoils the state
ment is made that the larger portion OF
those composing the mob were under
twenty years of age. There is every
reason TO believe that innocent negroes
were killed or ill-treated by irresponsible
assemblages. This is invariably the case
on such occasions. There was a race
riot in Alexandria on Christmas Day,
1865. Negroes, before the stars were
out of the sky, paraded the streets with
flies and drums discoursing "John
Browns Soul is Marching On" "oher-
mans March to the Sea-" and other
inAsmmatory airs. In the afternoon
number of whites gathered on King
street and assaulted every negro they
met. One colored man was killed dur
iug the riotipg. On that occasion a num-
Der of iuotfensive colored people were
sbamefully treated. Many of this class
doubtless suffered a similar tate in At
lanta ON Saturday night and while Jaw
abiding people have nothing to say In
extenuation of the crimes of vicious
negroes, believing, as they do, that such
miscreants should be given the full pen
atty OF the law, they deplore the fact that
unlawful and irresponsible mObs thirst
for the blood of human beings for 20
other reason than the fact that, from no
fault of their own, their skins are black.

In the first half of the current cal

some restaurants service has been re-
stricted by the absence of regular walters.
Throughout the day hundreds of negroes
have been fleeing the city. BY trsia
and wagon and on foot they have hur-
ried from the city, fearing the possiblli-
ties Of trouble 10 the immediate future.
In the fighting negro women we're the
most warlike, urging resistance to the
mob and themselves fighting like ANA
zous. In the residence district great
anxiety is felt. The police force was
centered down town, practically leaving
the residence district without protection.
Many families, temporarily without male
protection, feared the possibility of a
danger of which they knew but little.
The fear of trouble was accentuated by
the newsboys cries. Il was night of
terror to hundreds.
The lawless character Of the mob was
fully demonstrated during the latter part
of the evening. When negroes had van
ished from the streets the mob, from
pure wantonness, broke windows and
damaged property. The crowd, after
pulling the negro porters from the Pull
man cars of Western and Atlantic Rail-
road train standing ready to start. pro-
ceeded to smash the windows 10 the day
coaches and mail and baggage cars.
They then crossed to the Kimball House
and continued to spash windows, caus-
ing loss Of several hundred dollars.
Numerous windows 10 stores on Peach
tree street yesterday show that the mob
passed that way. close watch was
maintained to guard against incendis :
ism, but fortunately this precsution was
unnecessary.
