The democrats in 1898, realizing that a great majority of the state were op posed to their policy, and knowing full well that anything like a full expres sion of public opiniton at the toaJlot box would mean ttihieir complete defeat, de liberately organized a systematic cam paign of intimidation and violence (re sulting in some instances in blood shed)' which, has never 'had a parellel in any section of the country. Not on ly were' negroes' in eastern' Oaroiina denied the right to vote, but thousands of white men in the middle and eastern sections Of the state were so completely terrorized 'that they refrianed from vot-in-"-, iwMle many (of ithem, by coercion, were induced to vote the democratic ticket . The adoption of such unlawful meth ods resulted in giving the democrats a good war king majority of the legis lature at that election ; and among oth er things, they enacted an election law which was prepared with (the sole view of p,n:fl!hlin2T that roartv to overcome the large majority that was against them in the state. Th't legislature did not adjourn at the end of sixty days, as is provided by the constitution, but took a recess until the month of June, 1900, and it Was stated in -many of the democratic papers that a recess had been taken with a view of impeachin Senaifcar Pritchard!

Commander Tillery of the Tutuila naval tation &moa, in a report to the navy depart ment, tells of the capture of a cannibal who is now aboard the United States ship Abareda, in order to protect ham from the Samoans, who wanted to kill him in retaliation for the alleged kill ing by him of some of the Samoans.

The loss will not be less th n $300,000 and very probably will exceed that amount. The building was practically new. The only 'building saved was the east wing occupied by the warden. the chapel and a small reserve cell room. Precautions 'have (been taken.to guard' the prisoners who were remofid under extra guard without difficulty. " Lieut. -Gov.

DE WET FORGED NORTH OF ORANGE RIVER London, March 1. Kitchener- tele graphs 'the war department from Pre toria, under today's date, that DeWet has been forced north of the Orange river and is now outside of Cape Col ony. He adds that 'two hundred pris oners phoned to Lincoln fire department for help. The convicts, numbering about 300, were ordered to clothe themselves and were marshalled into the huge court-yard, in a long double line, under the espionage of a score of armed guards stationed on the wall surround ing the yard. The main building and west cell . house, both of which are three -story stone structures, are a total loss.. The books, records and papers of the insti tution were removied to to. place of safe ty but nothing else of value was saved. The fire originated in the kitchen of the warden's apartments, located in ithe upper story of the main building almost directly over the office and near the cell hottee. Ftromi the kitchen the flames spread in alf- directions,- SMW. Ui, ually efi)fing1thelr Was wes'traTardhiflauigh the new cell house and eastward 1 through the rniain building.' 'Company F of the National Guard, left for e scene at 3:30 o'clock tthis I morning under orders fromi Lieu. -Gov . 'Savage, acting governor in the absence ' of Gov. Dietrich. Warden Davis, who took charge of the institution February 16, said: "I have no opinion to offer regarding the origin 0 the fire. Scleral trusty con victs, who served under Former' "War den Hopkins, prepared supper for my family in the room at j5 o'clock, but all of them retired' to their cells -early in the evening. How the fire started' is more than I can fell." "It is believed the east wing, though badly damaged, can be used as a tem porary housing place for the 288 con victs. The stockade wails remain in tact. The prisoners were apparently the least concerned! of all the excited men when the fire was raging most furiously and never was a body of sup posed lawless men more tractable arid orderly when the panic was at Its height. Perfect prison discipline was maintained, and not a convict was in jured. News of the fire caused great excite ment in the city, heightened by base less reports of loss of life, mutiny, and the escape of many convicts. So far as can be learned every prisoner land prison) attache is accounted for. The legislature being in session it is be lieved early action will be taken to meeJ the emergency. Lieut. -Gov. Savagje has notified by wire Governor Dietrich, who is 011 his way to Washington to attend the inauguratin.
