Gonzales, Victim of Tillman's Bullet, Passed Away Shortly After Noon Today SUDDEN CHANGE FOR THE WORSE THIS MORNING Peritonitis Developed-State-ment Given to the Press On Last Saturday Afternoon (By Bell Teltphone.) Columbia, S. C, Jan. 19. At 1:10 o'clock this afternoon Mr. N. G. Gon zales breathed his last. The same indomitable spirit that has characterized his bearing from the moment that he tottered, wounded to the death, before the smoking pis tol of his cowardly slayer and ex claimed "Shoot again, you coward!", has sustained him throughout the fear ful ordeal through which he has passed, enabling him to bear his suf fering with fortitude. Now death has, by a turn of the wheel, made of Till man's deed a tragedy. Mr. Gonzales was conscious almost until the last, and the devoted family and faithful doctors, who have battled so worthily and unceasingly to Keep alive the spark of life, were at his bed side when the end came. Death was the immediate result of pereheptitis, an inflammation of the liver and form of blood poisoning, which Dr. W. Gil Wylie, the distin guished New York surgeon, feared yesterday. Dr. Wylie had started to Durham to perform an operation there, but was recalled to Columbia last night. He reached here early this morning and held a consultation. It was then decided that then; was a ch.ange.for . the worse and that Mr. Gonzales condition was vei: critical. Later this morning- blood poisoning developed and in a few hours accom plished its deadly work. All Columbia mourns the dead editor. The funeral arrangements have not been made yet, but will probably be held Wednesday afternoon. Augusta, Jan. 19. The hopes enter tained by Gonzales' own physicians are almost at an end now. A bulletin post ed at nine o'clock this morning says the case has passed the point of being dangerous and is now desperate and the surgeons have decided to employ the last desperate means to save him. Peritonitis has set in and the case looks hopeless. Augusta. Jan. 19. The 11 o'clock bulletin states that Gonzales is sleep ing, but adds he may die within an hour or two. This was feared as soon as peritonitis set in. The Richmond Dispatch prints the following signed statements: "I had just left my office and was on my way home, when I saw Tillman coming up the street. Two men were with him; one of them. Senator Tal bird; the other one I did not know. They were walking abreast, and as the street was crowded, I probably would have brushed against Tillman in pass ing. To avoid this, I walked across the pavement to pass on the inside. As I was doing this, Mr. Tillman fired. I was dazed and weakened by the shot. Coming to myself in a moment, how over, I leaned against the building for support, and in that moment, with the GATES VERY ANGRY Thinks Utter Was Unjust To Him in His Testimony and Insists Upon a Hearing Louisville, Jan. 19. Ex-John W. Gates and his associates have de manded a hearing before the Inter state Commerce Commission that they may reply to the testimony given be fore the commission in New York by J. Pierpont Morgan and George W Perkins in connection with the inves tigation of the alleged merger of the Southern Railway system. This information came here last night in a telegram to Col. Bennett, who was attorney for the Kentucky railroad commissioners during the hearing. The telegram states that Gates is feeling that injustice was done him by Morgan and Perkins during the inves tigation and he desires to give his side WITH MR, MORGAN of the case. revolver ; in his hand, Tillman said: " 'I have done what you told me.' "Mr. Tillman aimed the pistol at me again. I denounced him, saying: " 'You've killed me, you coward. Shoot again if you want to!" Mr. Tillman then lowered his re volver and walked off. Most positively I had not sent him any messages. The meeting with Tillman was unex pected, and I was unarmed. "N. G. GONZALES." "When the facts are known, the peo ple of this country will see how thor oughly I was justified in acting as I did in this unfortunate affair. Be yond this, I care to make only this statement, namely, that I thought Gonzales was armed, and had every reason to so believe. "JAMES H. TILLMAN." Tillman said today to Henry Ohl, of Newberry, who visited him: "My only regret is I did not shoot Gonzales dead." "WHITE SLAVES." Sixty Girls a Day Leaving Homes, a Reputable Prague Paper Says. Prague, Bohemia, Jan. 19. Notwith standing international congresses and much public indignation the "white" slave" traffic is assuming enormous proportion. The other day fifteen Polish girls, between fifteen and eigh teen, and under- the charge of a "chaperon," were discovered between Prague and Cracow, but the police de clined to interfere, and it is surmised that they are in the pay of the scoun drelly agents. A Prague newspaper of good standing states that to its certain knowledge as many as sixty girls are shipped daily from Bohemia on the way to America by way of Bremen and Hamburg. The Pravo Litu, another Bohemian journal, says 200 girls a week are sent from Galicia to Dres den and Leipsic, whence they are des patched to various ports in the north and south of Europe for shipment to New York.

The State's Counsel Severely Scores Defense and Lays Down Very Forcible Argument CASE WILL GO TO JURY EARLY IN THE MORNING Lawyer Aydlett will Close For the Defense Dense Crowds Attends The Trial Hertford, N. C. Jan. 19. A dense crowd attended this morning's session of the Wilcox trial. The famous case is nearing an end. Tomorrow it goes to the jury and a verdict is expected early. This morning's session was con sumed in Solicitor Ward's argument for the State. This afternoon Mr. Ayd lett will engage the session in the clos ing argument for the defense. Mr. Ward scouted the theory of sui cide. He said that Drs. Wood and Fearing's testimony showed that Ella Cropsey was murdered beyond a doubt. Says he: "The defense subpoenaed medical experts to contradict them. These experts were n-3ver introduced. The reason why is evident." Mr. Ward compared the Wilcox case with the case of Cluverius. He said Cluverius accounted for all but seven minutes of his time. Wilcox gives no account of thirty minutes. The evi dence in both is circumstantial. Said Mr. Ward: "As all roads in England lead to London, as all avenues in Washington tead to the capitol, so does every suspicion in the case point o James Wiletfx; the accused." -As the end draws nigh, hundreds of people flock hitherward from every direction. Thousands will probably be present when the verdict is rendered tomorrow. DRINKING IN HOMES. There Is Too Much of It, Says a Wo man Reformer. St. Louis. Jan. 19.

Snfh is the statement made bv Miss Katherine Kelly, of Kansas City. Su preme President of the Ladies' Auxil iary of the Knights of Father Mathew.

The Daily Mail's Rome correspondent had an interview j with Gabriele D'Annunzio, in which ' the latter outlined his scheme for the establishment of a theatre on the shores of Lake Albano, near Rome, dedicated to poetical plays. "Miss Morgan and Miss Roosevelt," said D'Annunzio, "have promised to place at my disposal all the money necessary. They thus will take the place as patrons of poetry, which was formerly held by the late Empress of : Austria, who had herself promised to me the necessary money for construct-. ing this temple of poetry. The infam ous assassination of the Empress pre vented until now the accomplishment of this project, by which-1 propose to give to poety its proper place upon the stage. "The design of the theatre proposed shall be Graeco-Roman, after the style of the famous theatre built at Vicenza by the architect Paladio in the fourth century. Plays will be performed there in the spring, when the poetry of na ture is at its zenith. D'Annunzio hopes to be able to in augurate the theatre in the spring of 1904 with a work already written, en titled "King Numa." He proposes to present works by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. SLICK NEGRO SWINDLERS. Told Colored People They Were Agents Of Roosevelt. Vicksburg, Jan. 19. It has just de veloped here that the colored people in the vicinity of Smedes Station were swindled out of sums aggregating more than $1,000 by two negroes claiming to be representatives of President Roose velt. Shortly before President Roosevelt came to Smedes on his bear hunt two strange negroes appeared in the com munity. They were plausible talkers and wore good clothes. They told the negro farmers that the much-advertised Roosevelt bear hunt was merely a ruse, as the President had come south to see whether the negroes were being robbed by the prices they had to pay for meat. They offered to relieve the situation of the negroes by saying they would take orders for a large supply of meat at ridiculously low prices. The '.'agents" required a small payment cash down, and in that way something like $1,000 was collected and the rascals skipped the country. ,JOKE OF THE CENTURY. Mice To Be Used At Cat Club's Show Only Chocolate "Critters." Stanford, Conn., Jan. 19. The Con necticut Cat Club has hoaxed the whole United States. Mayors have fulminated, humane societies the country over have "resoluted with sor row," grave editors have delivered themselves of editorials on the de generacy of the fair sex, and there has been no end of trouble because c was announced that the membeis were going to collest 2,000 mice and have them killed by kittens for the benefit of those who desired to look upon the spectacle. Now comes Mrs. Homer S. Cum mings, president of the club, who has been having fun with Mayor Leeds for j a week past, with the announcement j that she has been fooling him all j along.

OF LEE AND JACKSON Charlotte Pays a Beautiful Tribute to the Dead Heroes of This Great Southland Of Ours MR.W.B.DOWD'S ADDRESS A GEM OF ORATORY Gifted Speaker Heard By a Large Crowd This After noon at the Presbyterian College Auditorium The joint celebration of the birth days of Generals Lee and Jackson took place in the auditorium of the Presby terian College this afternoon. A large crowd assembled to pay tribute to the memory of our Confed erate heroes. A certain inspiration seemed to move all of those who took part in the pro gramme and the audience was stirred with enthusiasm. Commander Harrison Watts introduced the speaker of the oc casion, Mr. W. B. Dowd, of New York, who said: Ladies and Gentlemen: I scarcely know how to speak in this place, hal lowed as it is with fadeless memories, to this audience, composed so largely of my old friends of such heroes as Jackson and Lee, either of whom would be too great a subject for my poor deliverance. There are landskapes, seaskapes. skyscapes which painteres cannot reproduce on canvas; there are men whose lives are too great for de scription, and of these are Jackson and Lee. What can be saicl, that is now, of that silent Virginian, who was graduated at West Point, served with distinction in the Mexican war; who signed his commission in the army to accept a professorship in the Military Academy at. Lexington, who, although a sensitive and shy man always, found his mis sion when the war of secession broke out and went about his work of sol diering as one inspired for command; whose legions were invincible in bat tle, whose genius thwarted Banks, Fre mont, Shields and McDowell, each and all the opposing generals sent against him, even with superior forces, whose men, under the influence of his daunt less spirit, withstood the enemy's fire, like a stone wall; who achieved a fame as the very right arm of the Southern army, striking swiftly and mighty in unexpected places, dealing blows in front or rear that staggered his adversaries, bringing victory and renown to him and his men. Confusion and disaster to his opponents; whose marvellous career was cut short, by the sad mistake of his own forces after the battle of Chancelorsville, now al most forty years ago. I only know that, whenever I have heard the merits of the great captains of the war discussed, I have never yet met any demur to the preposition that Stonewall Jackson was the one unique commanding gen eral in that stage who, as a fighter and a winner of battles, won a place in history unapproached by any other, and the equal of any in the annals of the world. We, know too, that he was far more than a soldier; for he was a devoted husband and father, a true friend, a patriot and a Christian gentleman. In his birth he belonged to Virginia, in his work to the South, in his fame and glory, to the world; What can I say that is new of that other Virginian, born of illustrious an cestry, at Stafford, on the 19th day of January, 1807, who was graduated at West Point, after four years of cadet ship during which he received no re primand or demerit, who rendered dis tinguished services under General Scott in the Mexican war, was super intendent of the nation's military (Continued On Seventh Page.)

LOCAL POSTOFFICE MATTERPOSTPOIIEO Nothing Will Be Done in Mr. Mullen's Case Until the Middle of Next Month THIS REPORT COME DIRECT FROM WASHINGTON The Reason For This Delay is the Continued Illness of Senator J. C. Pritchard Nothing will be done with the Char lotte postofflce case until the middle of February. This is a settled fact. A prominent Republican, who has just returned from Washington, in forms the News man that Senator Pritchard's physician stated Saturday that the Senator could not possibly at tend to any business before the middle of February. In addition to his other troubles, Senator Pritchard is now suf fering from an extremely painful ulcer. He is still confined to his bed in the Homeopathic Hospital in Washington, where he will remain until his condi tion improves. Just as soon as he feels strong enough, Senator Pritchard will go to the Capitol and the Char lotte postoffice will be one of the first matters that he will take up. The News has no reason to withdraw its previous statements tegarding the published accounts that Mr. Geo. B. Hiss will be a candidate for this posi tion. Mr. Hiss in an interview with the News man positively stated that he could not accept this office under any considerations. That is just what Mr. Hiss says today. He is a friend to the present incumbent, and should Mr. Mullen fail to be considered in con nection with this office, then Mr. Hisa will espouse the cause of another friend. So, up to the present time the candi dates for this plum are: Jake F. New ell, Jonas W. Mullen, D. Kirby Tope and Edward M. Bell. If Mr. Mullen fails, thn Messrs. Newell, Pope and Bell will have a run for their money. The Republicans in Charlotte, at least the influential ones, are divided as to who shall secure thi3 pie. It is understood that Mr. Nowell has the endorsement of some of the leading men of his party, while Messrs. Mullen, Bell and Pope have been as sured by others that their interests will be taken care of. It is understood today that Senator Pritchard has made the statemtnt that the Charlotte postofflce matter shall not "hang fire," if he can prevent it. Just as soon as he can return to his duties at the Senate chamber, the nom ination will be made, and there is no reason to believe but that the Senate will confirm at once. Minister Bowen At Charleston. Washington, Jan. 19 The Navy De partment is informed this morning of the landing at Charleston S. C, of United States Minister Bowen, who comes to Washington as Venezuela's representative in the negotiations to be conducted here with representatives of the foreign powers with referenco to their claims against Castro's gov ernment.
