THE OF AUTHORSHIP PLATFORM IS N US ED The Question as to Who Wrote the Platform Adopted by the Laboring Men's Club at the Meeting Last Night, Roundly Discussed. Two of the Platform Committee Deny That They Had Any Voice in the Make-up of the Paper. Parties Suspected of Drafting the Document. "Who wrote the- platform adopted by the Laboring Men's Club last night?" This was the interesting question that was put to the News' man early this morning and one that he has. tried to solve. In the first place .Mr. L. W. Wise, one of the platform committee and the one who introduced the resolution?, states that he "killed the bear." A gentleman who reads the papers very closely and thinks twice before he speaks and then generally talks to himself says that he can plainly dis cern the Italian hand of a certain So cialist. Another gentleman seems to think that the platform as adopted last night bears the earmarks of a certain prom inent local Republican and these two gentlemen are the only ones that The News' man could get to express an opinion relative to the paper in ques tion. It is positively stated by the other two members of the platform commit tee that they not only do not endorse the platform, but never saw its con tents until they , read it this morning. A prominent labor leader this after noon states positively that the plat form as adopted last night does not voice the sentiments of a majority of the working people of the city. They not only do not subscribe to the sen timents contained therein, but are per fectly willing and ready to hear the issues discussed before making up their minds. Such wholesale condemnation of the administration as voiced in the plat form is not shared in by the sober minded citizens who go to make un ,ihe army ofworkmg people of Charlotte, OPEN ANARCHY PREVAILS.

The two men were from North Caro lina and worked at a sawmill about nine miles from Darlington. They were returning from town to the mill when they met the negro driving a wagen and after exchanging a few words with him shot him, apparently without cause.

At the British em bassy and consulate McCullough is unknown. ' There is not the slightest doubt that the man killed was connected with terrorist plots. The bomb was of the same power as those which killed Minister Von Plehve and Grand Duke Sfgius: The police believe McCul lough was engaged either in packing his effects, as the hotel Bristol was To be vacated, or in.preparing for some desperate enterprise when the bomb exploded.
