The cam paign for the election of the state re publican ticket, as well as the defeat of the proposed constitutional amendment-opened here today with magnifi cent success. The hall of the new court house, the largest court room in the state, was crowded with white men, every seat being occupied, every window and every inch of standing room. More than 1,200 voters were In the hall and a large number were un able to gain admittance. At the recent appearance of the democratic candi dates in the same hall the audience was but little over one-third as large as that which gathered to listen to the republican speakers today. At the democratic gathering the country peo- kple were noticeably lacking. Fully one--haLf of the great assemblange to day were farmers . The speaking began at 1 o'clock, af ter m,usic by the Winston Cornet band. Mr. S. E. Hall, editor . of the Winston Republican, presided and introduced as the first speaker Hon. Augustus H. Price, candidate for presidential elec tor of the state at large, the man who electrified the state convention with his brilliant speech in nominating Judge Spencer B. Adams for governor. Senator Pritchard . was the next speaker, and many . who have heard him during the present campaign and on other occasions pronounced his ad dress before the inspiringly attentive audience today the most eloquent and convincing that he had ever delivered in their presence. r Attorney General ZebVance Walser delivered a most able and enthusiastic address, auguring victory from the de termined spirit that animated the op ponents of the disfranchising- schemes. Congressman R. Z. Linney, intro uced in terms of warm praise by 'pencer Blackburn, stirred the audi ence to frequent outbursts of applause with a speech of splendid eloquence and power J. Mr. J. TTBenbow made a short ad dress, speaking for the white men ot the west. The address of Judge Spencer B. Adams excited extreme interest and the distinguished candidate of the re publican party for governor was given an ovation of applause as he rose to speak. He "was introduced by Hon. John R. McCreary, who, after some words on the constitutional amend ment, said: "It is not my province to discuss to you the issues of the day, either state or national, but it is my delightful privilege to introduce to you the de fender of the people and by the grace Do Buy a ; Home , f Before seeing us.

"May all liberty loving, prosperity seeking, patriotic and conservative citizens help him bury the proposed amendment and the democratic pary so deep that the sound of the resurrec tion horn will never be able to reach them in their graves." Judge Adams spoke in part as fol lows: In obedience to the action of the re publican convention assembled in the city of Raleigh on the second day of May, I am here today as the republi can candidate for governor of the state of North Carolina. I am a republican and I love the principles of my party, and am glad of its achievements. I am a North Carolinian, and love my state, and glory in her institutions, and were I to go around appealing to race or class prejudices I would be unworthy of your suffrages and an enemy to the peace and happiness of the people. My democratic friends realize their only hope in this campaign is to appeal to the passions and prejudices of the peo ple, and have adopted this method of warfare. From their speeches, it seems to be their determination to work up on the passions of the people until they get them in such a state of excitement they will put them in office at any cost.

Bombardment of Mafeking May 1st Was Not Heavy. AN UNFOUNDED RUMOR THAT MAFEKING HAS FALLEN AN OTHER REPORT THAT LARGE FORCE OF BOERS HAS BEEN CAPTURED BY BRITISH. v v London, May 16. There is aeain nothing to encourage the hope that the salvation of Mafeking has been ef fected and the latest reports give more than one cause for additional anxiety. The correspondents make it clear that the besieged are suffering from perpet ual hunger ,the food 'being eked out in quantities only sufficient to preserve life. It is evident the Boer assault of May. 12 was resolute, and. entailed des perate fighting, the result of which is not known. There are" no reports from the British side and nothing official from the Boer side, but some unofficial Boer accounts that have reached Lon don hy way of.

One account says that after se vere fighting in the streets Colonel Baden-Powell asked for an armistice Saturday and surrendered Sunday morning.- The unofficial Boer bullet ins j-hweyer '", have so often proved unln&e ' iii5 is not believed. The Daily Mail correspondent at Lo renzo Marques says he received relia ble information that the Boers 'were using artillery when they attacked the ,town Saturday and that very soon the Kaffir location was in flames, and in the midst of the confusion the Boers took possession of the location. The actual situation, therefore, is un known. Buller's successful advance is greet ed here with warm commendation. The halt of Roberts at Kroonstad contin ues.

THE SITUATION. London, May 15. Lord Roberts tel egraphs from Kroonstad, May 15, that Colonel Baden-Powell reports froinl Mafeking, under date of May 7, as fol lows: "All is going well.. The fever is decreasing and the garrison is cheer ful. Our food will last until June 10. London, May 15. The war office has received the following: "Dundee, May 15. We have occupied Dundee.

Houses of the town were damaged, but are structurally intact. ';, UNFOUNDED RUMORS. London, Majl5. A special despatch from Lorenzo Marques says it is re ported that a large forpe of Boers has been captured by the British at Mafek ing. Pretoria, it is added, reports on the other hand, that Mafeking has fall en. ATTACK ON MAFEKING. London, May 15. The Boers Satur day occupied the Kaffir location at Ma feking. They were in turn attacked during the night of Saturday, and on Sunday found themselves surrounded. The Boers lost seven killed and seven teen wounded. The British loss is re ported to have been heavy.1 HOW THE DEFEAT CAME. London, May 15. General Buller's turning of the Biggarsberg position was effected by a bold movement v aae Boers had evacuated Helpmaakar,. but were making , a stand Monday evening 9 . at Bleskoplaagte, seven mnes irum Dundee". The oof ps on the spot regard ed this, as a rear guard action, intend ed to cover the retreat of the army. At the same time General . Hlldyard took Indoba, and it is reported that the Boers Withdrew in disorder. AT BIGGARSBERG. London, May -15. The war office to day furnishes confirmation or me re port yesterday telling ot General Bul ler's movements on the Biggarsberg in a despatch from General Buller as follows : Kemp's Farm, May 15. The follow- ng telegrams sent to Roberts are now rPMa.tpd to vcn. Thev begin under 1 "date of May l(Kas follows: In accordance with instructions, to keep the-enemy occupied .at; ttggars Terg on' May L)lpt. concentrated the Third cavalry brigade of the second di vision and some corps of artillery at Sunday's river drift on the Helpmak aar road and directed Lionel Bethune to advance on Greytown with the e thune mounted infantry, theUmvoti mounted rifle and light infantry On May 12 we moved .to Washbankn; and Bethune to Pomeroy while ' General Hlldyard from Elandslaagte occupied Indoba mountain. On. May 13 I sent General Hamilton with three battal ions up the steep slope of Wlthock hill. The Third cavalry brigade crowned the hill on each-side of. the main road from three . sides. ?Che. enemy hurriedly abandoned the position, which they had strongly Intrenched and retired to the "Nek In front of Helpmaakar wfaence we hope to dislodge them to morrow as many of them have retir ed. We have gained the summit of the berg with the loss of only a few men wounded. I advance on Beth and Hildyard moves on Wessel's Nek. Our small loss, I think, was certainly due to the excellent troon lesAiker of General Hamilton, Lord Dndonald and Colonel Bethune." A second de spatch dated May 14, says: "The en emy evacuated Helpmakaar New dur ing the night, leaving a rear guard of about a thousand men in front of us. These we have forced bapk through out the day under considerable diffi culties, as they fired all the grass on top of the berg as they retreated, and the wind being unfavorable to us we were scarcely able to see at all. I halted the infantry, who marched very well through the smake at Beith, The cavalry has-nqtyet reached them but are some miles ahead. We have tak en a few prisoners. Our casualties are small." A third despatch, dated from Kemp's Farm, May 15, says: "Dundqnald reported late last night that he had driven the rear guard on to the main body of the enemy, near Buralinden, where they occupied in force a strong position with three pow erful guns. Major Gough, with the composite regiment, manoeuvred to the right round their left . flank and they retired. Dundonald then halted. He was 25 miles as the crow flies from his previous night's bivouac and had covered nearly 40 miles during the day in a waterless country, most of the time riding through smoke. I think his pursuit a. very fine performance. From, prisoners I learn that the enemy num bered over 2,000 at Helpmakaar and be ing joined by those who left Van Jon der's pass they, must total nearly 3,000 men. we move on , uunag.e xouay . Hildyard1 reports the .v occupation of Wessel's Nek and is repairing T the line." judging from the above despatches the British advance is little more than an arduous march. The Boers, who were active at first , later appear to have shown the same readiness to re treat which is now marking the move ments of the federals in the Orange Free State. Apparently the burghers are about to evacuate Natal and con centrate for the defense of Laing's Nek, northward, and Van Reenan's pass, westward. The reoccupation of Dundee by the British places the coal supplies there again' in their hands. (Continued'on fourth page.) ., Best Almond Extract at Grant's. -. Baldwin Headache Cure 25cNGrant's.

At Once Appointed to the Seat He had Just Vacated. House Committee on Judicial y Adopts Anti-Trmt Measure. LETTER SENT TO SENATE BY PRESIDENT FROM OTISSHOW . ING HOW AGUINALDO CAUSED PEOPLE TO LEAVE MANILA. Washington, May 15. Senator Clark today announced his resignation from the United States senate. Mr. Clark read a letter dated iuay 11 announcing his resignation. Scarcely had the routine business been concluded when Mr. Clark, of Montana, arose and addressed the chair on ,a question of personal privil ege to himself. He said: "It has not been my intention to dis turb the recognized traditions of this most honorable body by intruding my oppndons upon any questions that might arise for consideration during the prev ¬ ent session, but the question called up today for discussion 60 vitally con cerns my own interests, and the inter ests of the great state which 1 have the honor in part to represent, that I shall ask the indulgence of the sena'te while I as briefly as possible submit some re marks, referring first to the character of the investigation; second, to the majority report of the honorable com mittee on privileges and elections, which has submitted findings adverse to the retention of m'y.seat ixt the sen ate? third, to the conditions existing In the,.state of Montana, for a number-of: yeag prior to my election wnicnTjUs- titled my political action; and, lastly, a statement as to the course I deem best to pursue In the premises. It is not my desire to cast any aspersion upon the motives which actuated the distinguished senators composing thex committee, and yet, with the most re spectful ' consideration for the learn ing, legal ability and eminent standing of thase gentlemen, I am forced to the conclusion, which, I believe, meets with the concurrence of not enly a large number of senators on oth sides of this chamber, but aisp to 80 per cent, of my constituency in the state of Mon tana, regardless of political affiliations, that the methods, of procedure n .the investigation of the matter were man ifestly unfair, mon-judicial and that they resulted in a verdict of the cbirn mititee entirely opposite to that whicli would have occurred had e evi dence have been confined to that which was admissable and pertinent to the is"ue. I contend that an investigation involving a seat in the highest legisla tive body o.f this nation, as well as. the honor of the individual chosen for that position by the people of one of the sov ereign states thereof, should be con ducted in a strictly judicial manner, and that in the preceedings the estab lished rules of evidemce should be ap plied. It is well known to everybody that this was not the case. It is true that there was a strong effort made by the honorable senators from Alabama, Maryland, Kansas and North Carolina at the beginning of the investigation to 'exclude all the irrelevant testimony, but tneir efforts were unavailing." After further explanation and argu ment in his own behalf, Mr. Clark con cluded by tendering his resignation as a member orMhe United States senate. (Continued on fifth page..)
