A Northern Outrage.
N. O.. States.

INOs OAAA0ESs
N. o. States.
The newspapers have recently
been full of an outrage perpetrat.
ed against the brother in
black" but this time the diaboli
cal deed was committed in the
North, yea even in the sacred
city of New York where almost
daily mObs find exciting sport in
chasing negroes through the
streets without much being said
about it. The particular out
rage to which we have referred
has to do with Ota Benga, the
African pigmy, who for a num-
Der of weeks had been the most
important exhibit at the New
York Geological gardens. 1t APP
pears that Director HOrnaday
had given Ota Benga the freedom
of the Priinate House, commonly
called the monkey cage. The
monkeys received Ota on terms
of perfect equality and the small
savage enjoyed his quarters
hugely, no doupt feeling that he
had been thrown with some dis.
tant but kindly relatives.
1t happens that Ota is of a low
order of intellect, very much of
a savage in fact, and sternly OBJ
posed to wearing cutaway coats,
striped trousers and spats. The
other day the keepers had much
difficulty in persuading him to
keep his clothes on while they
soaked him with a garden hose,
and preventing him, after he had
been persuaded by force, from
slashing one OF them with a
knife.
This treatment of Ota when
the negro preachers discovered
that he was one of their own
people, resulted IN a protest and
a demand that he be taken out of
the monkey cage and sent to a
school for colored boys. This
has been done and it is proposed
to educate Ota and give him a job
In Africa as a missionary which
is good and proper. However, it is
not difficult to imagine what a
hullabalOo would have been rails
ed had a benighted human being
from "Africa's sunny fountains"
been exhibited anywhere in the
South in a cage of monkeys. We
may be sure of it that President
Roosevelt, whose heart is beating
strongly for the colOred man as
the congressional elections ap-
proach, would have ordered the
federal district attorney to pros
ecute and imprison for violation
of the laws against peonage every
person implicated in the outrage.
But for more than a month Ota
Benga, late of Africa, was the
star attraction in the monkey
cage of the New York Zoo and
there was no laundering from
Oyster Bay against the outrage
and no orders to prosecute any
body. From all accounts the
monkeys were pleased, the
people who visited the Zoo were
pleased and so was Ota until they
tried to make him wear clothes
and get him in trim to be an en-
thusiastic Republican voter.

A MARRIED MAN
Story of Wedding of Ruler
Who Died 1000 Years Ago
Deciphered by Professor

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Rameses II died
1000 years ago, but some of the facts
concerning his life are just becoming
known. One of these is the story OF
his marriage. which has just been re-
vealed by Professor James H Breasted
of the University of Chicago In his
first preliminary report of the expedi-
tions which he has been making among
the temples and hieroglyhics along the
Nile, published in the October issue Of
the American Journal OF Semitic Ian
guages and Literature. issued yester-
day.
He found the account of this event in
the Sun Temple of Abu Simbel, which
is one of the principal buildings erected
by King Rameses.
To tell the story 1t required an in
scription of forty-one lines, each about
eight feet long. making a total line
some 528 feet in length. Professor
Breasted finds it impossible to give the
complete translation OF this story in
his article. but reports the use of a
word for snow" is found here In snow

history.

RIVALS CLAIMS.

HAVANA, Oct. 17.-While there re-
mains some unrest IN Cuba which
Governor Magoon described tonight as
the mere ripples of the receding tide
Of disorder, the adjustment of the
charges against the mayors and chiefs
of police of various towns is pro-
crossing satisfactorily. The Governor
regards the settlement of the claims
Of rival candidates to the ofice of
mayor as important, as they mark
the first step in the complete reor-
ganization of the Government The
complaints against a few provincial
governors will be adjudicated after a
thorough investigation by Governor
Magoon, who will make new appoint
ments when necessary.
Moderates and Liberals in several
towns are making counter-charges of
the concealment of arms. but these
matters are difficult to verify
Major Ladd reported TO Governor
Magoon today that he had finished
counting the funds IN the Cuban
Treasury and found that they totaled
a little more than $12,0e0,00O, mostly
in American gold. The books balanced

GILLETT DENIES
HERRIN CONTROL.
SPECIAL DIsPATcH TO THE CALL.


RIVERSIDE, Oct. 17.-Riverside Re-
pubiicans give Giliett a real ovation
tonight. He addressed the first and
only Republican meeting of the cam
paign tonight, and every seat in the
Loring Theater was taken. Notwith-
standing the trying ordeal of the past
weeks Gillett was in excellent voice.
and he was singular1y happy in his
answer to Langdon and Bell, answer
ing insinuation and abuse with a Dig
nifed and decisive denial of corporate
interests in his nomination and candi-
dacy. He said:
ut would be a fearful thing if this
State of ours were to be turned over to
the control Of a railroad or other corr
poration. 1t would be an awful thing
if the people of this State should have
to bow before any corporation. but I
doubt very much II Il would be as bad
as IL would at this juncture in the
affairs of our State and nation to turn
the control of the great commonwealth
of California over to the Democratic
party, a party without any principles
on which to stand; party that is fast
being destroyed by the growth of So
cialism; party that is rapidly disin-
tegrating and will soon be but mem
ory.'
Congressman Smith, who is accom-

who had been associated with him as
State Senator, as member of the Cal
ifornia Legislature and in the last
Congress. mo man in the State of
California is purer of heart or is more
devoted to the interest of the State
than is James N. Gillett," was his dec
laratiQn.
Smith stated his position on the Los
Angeles Owens River project and de-
clared that he should still advocate the
Inyo County Government irrigation
project for the unappropriated lands of
Owens Valley, but would concede that
Los Angeles. by the superior rights of
humanity, was entitled to such water
from Owens River as should supply the
needs of the city.

OF the local authorities. the attempted
robbery OF train No. on the Denver

latter were missed.
All day long several posses OF armed

point is evidently made here that the

have one more run before winter setS
in does not seem to appeal TO IN
officers.
This state Of affairs brings to light
most forcibIy the declaration that the

but for the enjoyment OF the mem
bers There seems 70 be a feeling
among the officers that the desire for
this late run is the outcome Of a de-
mend made by the trade and not a call
by the members at large The fact
still remains that II it were not for
the trade and their energetic endeav-
ors to advance the sport California
would still be in the background in
the automobile world
There is no question that ths
season of 1906 should be closed with
another contest TO Del Monte and
should not be allowed 70 go out under
the present conditions.

From reports received from all parts
Of New York City and Brooklyn and
every manufacturing city in the State,
prominent union men said today they
believed Hearst would not receive more
than 25 per cent of the union labor
vote at the coming election.
In New York City, where, in the
Mayoralty campaign, he got almost the
total labor vote, it is figured by union
leaders that more than so per cent of
the labor unions are now arrayed
against him. and workingmen in Glo-
versville, Rome and Amsterdam are de-
serting him by scores, according to dis
patches received here tonight.
Dissatisfied with the lack of push
in the Republican campaign against
Hearst, an association of Democrats
has been formed to wage untiring and
unrelenting war against the boss" of
the Independence League. Headquar-
ters have been opened at the Hotel I'M
perial and beginning tomorrow work
will be prosecuted until election day.
Among the Democrats who are TAX
