N. C, Oct. 16. f Yesterday some information was sent regarding the political situation. To day several leading men of. both par ties were interviewed.

Thevx have the advantage and are gaining. He spoke the principal causes of Ewart's defeat. and said the revelations regarding Brower's personal life would crush the latter. The action of Ewart in joining the Farmers Alliance was referred to as militating greatly against him. Ewart is depressed and shows it plain ly. Brower's acts with regard to his female proteges ' have for some time been known, but up to the time of BradfioldTs exposure of them had been kept out of print. The Republica leader referred to said he knew of them and had remarked at the first of the year that Brower would meet with de feat and deserved it. In fact some of B rower's supporters had cut loose from him weeks ago. The information gathered from lead- ing Democrats was tbat the prospects have improved.

There are people here this week from the most remote sections Of the State. A gentleman from Currituck said to day that his county is coming into line all right and one from Ashe county gives good news from that section, though he said the Democrats tvereuot as enthusiastic as one would wish to see them. Inquiry is made here as to the basis for the rumor that the Coast Line will seek to lease or buy the Atlantic and North Carolina railway. Four or five years ago there was a good deal of talk about it. Again the rumors are cur rent and it is said that if the property is secured the jline now owned to Smithfield will be extended westward. The taxes for pensions this year ag gregate SSO.ICO. It is learned that the four classes of soldier pensioners will receive annual allowances as follows: First class about $90; second, about $65; third, about $40; fourth about $20; and tbat the widow will receive about $20. there will be a considerable increase for them. Yesterday was an ideal day at the Sta.te fair and the people who it is said, were here in larger number than ever before on a Wednesday, certainly en joyed it. The throng in the city nearly blocked the principal streets, and busi ness was the best on record, merchants say. In bad contrast to yesterday's crisp, bright weather were to-day's lowering skies. At 9 o'clock this morn ing rain began to fall and soon there was a perfectjdownpour. Thousandsof people who weie ready' for a day's pleasuring were soon sadly disappoint ed. The morning trains were literally packed with visitors and these swarm ed in the streets. Some of them were provided with umbrellas or water proofs, but the greater part were like Mr.McGintv,"dressed in their best suits of clothes." Great was the damage to garments, the ladies, here in unusual numbers and exceptionally well dress ed, being the chief sufferers. Shelter was at a premium. Stores were packed while there was a crush in all the pub lic buildings. Out to the fair the peo ple would go, and there were plenty of reminders of "Cousin bailie JUUlard s" adventure as one looked at the tramp ing throng boldly braving mud and water. Mr. J iW. Todd, of Ashe county, tells me there has as vet, strange to say, been no frost in his section and that the people want to see it.

A committee to bring before the Leg islature in ajstrong way the need of pro tection for sheep has been appointed. Now is the right time to take up that matter. , The average countryman needs to be educated to know that a sheep is worth any number of dogs. Now most of them have just the con trary belief. There were two deaths here yester day; one that of. Mrs. J. P. Wyatt, a daughter of Mr. W. J.

About seventy-five colored Republicans from nineteen counties of the State met nere yesterday in the State Capitol, to dis cuss the moral, physical, Intellectual and political status of the race. Pro fessor John W. Morris, of Allen Uni versity, was elected president; A. J. Jamison, secretary. Tbb committee on Education submitted a report impress ing the importance of educating the people, urging longer j school terms and a graded system- The com mittee on Resolutions submitted a re port which is: - - Jiesolucd, First, that we do notileem it wige. prudent, or practicable for the Republican party to put a ticket in the field, second, that in regard to theHas kell movement, while we believe that outright privileges and interest would be best conserved by the element rep resented by the Haskell movement, yet taking into consideration all the circumstances, we do not think it wise or practicable to endorse said move ment, and we leave the matter with the State Executive committee, feeling sure that the wisdom and discretion of said committee will decide for the best and highest interest of all concerned. The report of the committee on the advisability of supporting the Haskell movement was as follows: "We, the committee to whom was referred the very important duty of considering the advisability of endorsing the Haskell State ticket beg leave to submit the following report: After having con sidered this important subject commit ted to us, after looking at the subject from -every reasonable standpoint, we have decided not to ,endorso either of the contending factions : of N the Demo cratic party. V j i Th8 report.was freely discussed, some favoringxit, and others not. H W. Parvis, of Charleston, said: I am a Re publican and can't support either man; the only haven for Haskell is on the Republican ship, and the Republican party is the party for our liberty. x x James Robinson, of Richland 6aid: I have come to the conclusion that the hope for the future of the colored peo ple is in the Democraticxparty. I am contented to know that the white man shall govern us. I see men here that supported the Democratic party prev ious to this. I am for the Haskell ticket. I am, here to advocate good Government. I can't support any other man. Tillman said that to the negro who opposed him death would come as sure as the sun rose. I am here to test him on that question. I hope that the conference will rise up and support the Haskell movement. I am willing to die if I know I am right. Tillman can't frighten me. He, nor his follow ers will ever have the opportunity to kill me. After Tillman has said we will die, I hope we live to see him die. A resolution was adopted which reads: "That we recommend that the ne groes, for the betterment of their con dition, do vote for the Haskell State ticket." The question was put and the chair decided it carried. The result created much excitement. The con ference was a tumultuous scene for fully five minutes, a dozen men pro testing againat the passing of the reso lution and claiming that the negative side of the question had not been fairly put. The chairman refused to recog-. nize any one. Finally the angry delegates quieted down and the Secretary proceeded to read an address. s An Open Boat Found at Sea. Philadelphia, Oct. 16. The cap tain of the British steamer Robert Dixon, from London, reports that on September 30th, in latitude 37.25 N., longitude 34.04 W., he sighted an open boat about twenty-two feet long adrift on the ocean. He stopped his engines and sent his second officer to investi gate; that official found the boat half full of water, the name "Christopher Columbus, No. 8" was painted on the bow. Oars and oarlocks were found in the boat and it had the appearance of having been sometime adrift. It was evidently of Spanish or Italian build. ear me ooai, ine steamer passed a portion of a raft built of planks about twenty-five feet in (length with boards nailed to therend.

County. Maxton, N. C, Oct. 16. Special. A cyclone passed two miles west of here about 4 o'clock this afternoon do ing great damage. We first heard of it two miles south of Hasty's, a station tnree miles soutnwest oi Maxton near the State lice on the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley. Four tenement houses were blown there. One colored person was killed and several wounded. Its path was from eighty to two hundred yards broad and everything destroyed in cits way. At Campbell's bridge, three miles northeast of Maxton. the saw mill of Mr. A. McKinnon was des troyed and a colored man slightly hurt. At Floral college a house occupied by Jim Bethea, colored, was demolished. Three children were in the house, two escaped unhurt; a boy had his thigh broken and head severely cut by fall ing umbers.

THE LELAND HOTEL OF SYRACUSE in r LMtS- Tne Goeili Aroused From Tbclr Slumber by the Alarm of Fire The Building a r SeathJns Him of Fame lien and Women Jumping From the Wtodowi- Heart-Ilendlnc bcenee ilerolc Deeds. SYRACUSE, Oct. 16. The magnifi cent Leland, 'the most modern and finest appointed hotel in central New York is to-day nothing but a mass of smouldering ruins. It was 12:45 o'clock this morning when fire was discovered in the region of the kitchen located on the second floor in rear of the west side of the building. Inside of fifteen min utes the building was in flames from end to end and before thirty minutes had elapsed, the walls had fallen, with the exception of the northeast corner. The whole was one seething furnace, to which was added the horror tbat many lives were involved. At first it was placed that the loss of life was in the neighborhood of thirty, but the day wore along and the number of missing and dead was reduced to seven or eight. When the flames began to sweep through the hotel, Night Clerk Jones set the automatic fire alarm bells to ringing and before the rudely awaken ed guests could realize what was the matter, the flames and smoke rushed through the halls, cutting off the means of escape. The scene beggars description. Strong men seemed par alyzed with fear and knew not what to do; others, less excited, hurriedly donned some of their clothing and rla ed about them the patent fire escape with which each room was equipped. It was nothing but a piece of webbing and a rope, but by its means many lives were saved. The burning hotel viewed from the street presented a scene which will never be forgotten. It was agonizing inthe extreme. In many windows of the five stories of the burning building could be seen men and women pitious ly calling for help or making their es cape by means of the rope appliances. In a window on the fifth story a man and a woman were seen to be appar ently struggling in each others arms. The woman evidentlyxwanted to throw herself out of the window. Below them was a sea of flames Onxth'efifth floor toward the Forget te street side, four women appearedat a window. Their screams for help could be heard above tha dm and roar. The firemen shouted ; to them to stay where vthey were. A hook and ladder was put Into position. The overhead N wires again demonstrated that the wires were in the way and prevented the raising of the ladder. Minutes seemed hours while o o of the ladder men mounted the rounds and cut the wires. Among the frightened women at the window was Annie Cummings, one of the , ser vants. Her companions tried to per suade her from jumping headlong into the street. While the ladder men were at work hoisting ladders, willing hands had hold of a jumping net. The Cummings woman jumped with the evident intention oi landing in the net but missed it. She fractured the back part of her head and her "knees, was bruised about the arm4 and hands and was killed instantly. In her decent sh.3 struck the wires and her body boundod over and over and she fell a bruised and mangled heap seven feet from the net. Meanwhile the laddermen were work ing with a will and succeeded in plac ing the extension ladder against the building. A cry of horror rang out from the spectators when it was found mat it was too snort, out tms was quickly succeeded by a cheer when one of the laddermen mounted the ladder and, standing on the topmost round reached up and helped down three women. It was the work of a hero. Had tne uummmgs woman waited a moment or so her lifejwould have been saved. On all sides men aud women could be seen dropping from windows or sliding down fire escapes. In the centre of the building was a court yard. Here was being enacted similar scenes to those oh the outside of the building. Guests in the rooms facing this court, in many instances, had to make their escape by this means. Some jumped while oth ers used fire escapes. On the roof of the boiler house, located at the west side of the building, at one time lay six or seven persons unconscious and injured. They were removed by fire men and others to places of safety. The flames swept through the build ins with unparalleled rapidity. Chief Engineer Rilie of the fire department savstnat wnen ne arrived ai tne scene he and his men maae ior me upper nortion oi the building. He. with a couple of hosemen, had f reached the fourth floor j when they could go no further. ( Cora Tanner, an actress, made her escape in this way: Upon being aroused she rushed into the hall and dashed into the first open room, which was oc cupied by a gentleman, who was about to lower mmseii oy toe nre escape She cried to him, "For God's sake save me," and the man stopped in his flight and adjusted the escape to her and lowered her to the ground and then followed. Miss Dupree and Miss Klein both of the same company had narrow escapes. They were on. the fifth floor and would doubtless have perished had it not been for the courageous boy who i ran the elevator. They grouped around the hall until they heard a shout to come to the elevator. They followed the sound of the voice and found the car. They were taken down safely al though the flames shot into the eleva tor at nearly every noor. i . The hotels near by , were thronged by those who so recently had found com fortable Quarters at the Leland. Cloth ing was provided for those who lost their all until they could be" provided . tContlnued on filth page. UTESTrOKEIGXXEWS.

The Chief of Folice Assasslhrted. Police Hennessey was shot and mortal ly wounded last night about 11:30 o clock. The particulars of the shoot ing as given by Captain O Conner of the Uoylan protective ponce are as ioi- lows: We left the Central police sta tion about ten or fifteen past 11 oclock. We walked up the wood side of Ram part street to Girod, where we parted; the Chief saying, 4'don't come any fur ther with mo now; you go and look after your business. 7 As we parted the Chief started towards Basin street, taking down the town side or Girod street and walked out in the direction of the river. On my way I met a city policeman and a Boylan officer. I had just reached the corner of Drvades and Girod streets when 1 heard the loud report of a shot gun and turn ing quickly around and looking towards Basin street saw flashes and heard two more loud reports. The flashes came irom front of a two story Iramo house at the uptown river corner ofv Girod and. Basin streets. Almost- simultane ously with the reports of the shot guns, three or iour pistol snots, urea in quicx succession from the loer side of the street, rang out. These last reports must have been the chief's return of the murderous fire. I at once started towards Basin street, two blocks dis tant, and on my way over took Officer Colter of Boylan piotective police, of whom I inquired: Which way did they run.'"7 He replied was up town." Five or "I believe it six people were then on the street in our vicinity. I heard the chief call "Oh, Billy Billy." I hurried to the spot whence the cry came and found the chief sit ting on the doorstep of a house on Basin street. As I came up he ald to me, "They have given it to me and I gave them the best I could." Bending over the chief I said to him, "Who gave It to you Dave?" He replied: "Put your ear down here. As I bent down again he whisoered the word "Dagos," The tragedy was one which the chief and his more intimate friends had regarded as within the range of probability for some years past, and for two or three years he has always been accompanied by some trusty friend on his way home. - Last night he, walked to the door of his residence and paus ing a moment to draw his latch key from his pocket turned in to the door way. It was while in this position his side turned towards the assassins that the first two shots, rang out. Chief of Police Hennessey died at 9rtWthi morning at the Charity Hospital.
