The Murderer Captured Secretary Sher. man and Senator Morgan Speak of the Conseqaenoes Likely to Follow. Madrid, August 8 Senor Canovas Del Castillo, the prime minister of Spain,, was assassinated today at San ta Agueda by an anarchist. The mur derer fired three shots, two of which struck the premier In the head 'and the other in the chest. The, wounded man lingered unconscious for two hours and died at 3 .o'clock this afternoon. His wife was but a short distance away when he fell. , . Santa Agueda is noted for Its baths. The place is between San Sebastian, the summer residence of the Spanish' court, and Vittoria,. the capital of the' province of Alava, about thirty miles south of Bilbao"" The premier went there last Thursday to. take ia three week's course of the baths, after which her. expected to return t6 San Sebastian to meef United States Minister Wood ford w hen officially received j by the queen regent. , . f ! i The health ,of Senor Canovas jha'd im proved greatly of late; He had been leading a i very quiet life, although he attended to the business of state, i FIRED AT HIM POINT BliANKJ At the moment of the assassination he was waiting in the gallery! of the bathing establishment for his wife, who wai to join him . for lunch. Suddenly the: assassin, who had the appearance of an ordinary visitor, approached and fired at him point" blank, on bullet passing through the body and Scorning out behind under the left shoulder, and the other two lodging in the head. He fell instantly and never fully recovered consciousness. . . : " i ' . The assassin was immediately arrest ed.

Canovas In accomplishment of a just vengeance,", and that the; deed is the outcome of a vast anarchist con spiracy. He is believed to have ar rived at Santa Agueda the same day as the premier, and he was frequently seen lurking in? "the passages; of the bathing establishment in a suspicious manner. - t . ASSASSIN ALMOST LYNCHED. , Several - medical men and Senor Ca novas' wife were unremittingly in their attention to the sufferer, but his wounds,- unhappily, were mortal, and he died in two hours. Extreme unction was administered, , amid a sqene of mingled sorrow and indignation. Th$ assassin narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of the waiters and i attend ants, who rushed forward. Detectives and civil guards immediately! secured him: He was very pale, trem&led vio lently, and evidently feared that he would -be killed on the spot, j He will be. first arraigned before-Jtfe local mag istrates at Vergara, f' f It was at first rumored thatf the as sassin. Was one of the ' pardorfed Bar celona anarchists, but this is hot con firmed . , 1 i The queen regent, on hearing the sad news, dispatched her own physician,, Dr. Bustos, by a special train from San Sebastian. Later, on learning that Canovas was dead, she wired !her con dolence to the widow. A CAREER OF PpLITICAL NENCE. - ! EMI- Senor Antonia Canbvas del; had a notable career. He was' Castillo born at Malaga February 8, 1828. Havihg taken a course in Rhilisophy and law in the University of Madrid, he began his; ca reer as a journalist. In, 1851 he became chief editor of the Patria, in which he defended conservative ideasL . About this time he published a volume i of lyric poems and a "series ! of. his torical papers. .He Was inr doubt whether to follow a literary ot su polit ical . career, but soon tound himself turned for politics in the course of events. . - 1 PILLAR OF CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY". ' A short time before the revolution of 1868 he became especially conspicuous as one of the last to defend with ener gy in the cortes the'principle bf blend ins liberal and conciliatory ideas .with ,the constitutional monarchic, when nearly all the persons who had sup ported this political doctrine had de serted the parliament. He was ban ished a short time before thfe revolui tion occurred, and took no part in it. In the face of the triumpharit revolur tion, after his return from .exile, and In the f.ull constituent assembljt of 1868, supported by Senors ., Elduayjem, Bul gallal and two others, he hojisted the standard of legitimate and constitu tional . monarchy. This is his! greatest title to fame. His fidelity and ability finally.' secured for : him the j supreme direction of the Alfonist party, and on the proclamation of Alfopsi XII as king, December 31, 1874, Canovas .be came president of the couaicil. and chief of the new cabinet, called the cab inet of conciliation. ' "1 He retired in. September,' 41875,. be cause of the demands of the extreme conservative7 party, but he was called back "to the presidency of the council December 2nd of the same year, and was charged particularly with the di rection of the first legislative elections of the new regime. Canovas was him self elected to the cortes from the city of Madrid in January, 1876. It devolv ed upon him then to repress the second attempt of the Carlists to bring on a civil war, and to deal with the first in surrection in Cuba. " . LAST ENTRANCE INTO POWER. Canovas came last into power Feb ruary 7, 1895. A number of officials had broken into and pillaged the offices of various newspapers which had made insinuations against the conduct of leaders engaged in suppressing the Cu ban revolt. The war minister seemed tQ support the officials, but the pre mier. Senor Sagasta, ordered the jour nalists to be protected- This ed to the retirement' of th"e ministry. Marshal Campos was temporarily made captain general of Madrid, and great excite ment prevailed. Finally Canoyas form ed a ministry, although he lacked the support of a section of the conserva tive party. The government was defeated on a vote of censure June 3, 1896,, but' Cano vas did not resign. The general elec tions of April. 1896, returned an over whelming, majority to; the cortesin fa vor of the policy- of his caomet, al though, the opposition charged that the ministerialists carried many of the election districts by 'gross fraud. HJS" RECENT RESIGNATION. June Inu last Senor CaRo pXe sented the resignation of the cabinet owing to the difficulty ministers had In carrying ;on the government in view of the parliamentary situation caused by the refusal of the liberals to take part in the deliberations .of th.eCFtes. This attitude of the liberals was due to a personal encounter between the duke of Tfpan, minister of foreign affairs, ,and Professor Comas, a distinguished liberal senator, on May 21 si, when the duke slapped the face of the :professor after a heated debate on the Morgan belligerency resolution adopted by the LTnited States senate. After four days (Continued on Fourth Page.) A LIVELY ROW At the Popnlist State Committee Meeting Anticipated Efforts to Bring About Re conciliation Between Russell and Pritch ard Sanctiflcationlsts to he Indicted. , . i . (Special to The Messenger.) Raleigh, ,N. C, August 9. -Rumors are afloat tonight that there may be a lively time Wednesday at the meeting of i the populist state committee here. "The old conflict, the irrepressible con flict between Butler and Skinner; comes up in a new: form. This is in the shape of iopposition to W. E. Fountain, state chairman. - Skinnerites assert; that he is not properly chairman and that when elected he was an outsider and not -a member of the committee. It; is asserted j that the Skinnerites on the committee are Skinner and Theoph ilus White, A. S. Peace, Amos, A; D. K. Willis, Hamrick and R. A. Cobb: An other caluculation is that the commit tee has eight Skinnerites.six Butlerites, and ?he:others doubtful, with a major ity: of them: supposed' to be for Butler. The latter is dead game and ready for, the fight. His; motto just "SoW is:j "Those not with us are against us," and he will: do some plain talking. It is said here that earnest j efforts! are being made to get Russell and Pritchard reconciled. The Grant and Russell : reconciliation is evidently in complete. Russell will have toiget off his horse before he and Grant can stand together. His horse, is pretty high and it turns out that he did not dismount" at their-canferen.ee atWrights ville. Russell and Butler appear to work wrell together and they will have a powwow thi3 week. . , Private Secretary Alexander says solicitors will be directed to prosecute the "sanctified band" now doing so much: that is vile in eastern North Car olina.' These people ought to b driven out of the state if one-tenth that is cer tified 'concerning them is true, i Five negroes were sent to jail today for throwing stones at- an excursion train and taking hats from Lexington excursionists last week. 't SEVERE CRITICISMS. - The Press of" London Have Some Pretty Hard Things to say About our Secretary of State ji . '! ' London, August 9. Commenting on the interview of The New York World with Secretary Sherman, .The St. James .Gazette this afternoon says: "Secretary Sherman's utterances afford no material ' for denial by his friends of the statement that he is suffering from senilei decay. But, after, all, Mr, Sherman represents America! and we are certain all international courtesies will be observed." Continuing; The St. James Gazette refers to the Kalnoky incident, when it says: "Austria propi-, erly severed diplomatic relations witht Great Britain- until Mr. Gladstone apol ogized for his attack on the dual mon archy," and asks why there lis one law in Europe and another in America. In conclusion the paper repeats, its recent warning that this is a dangerousUine of policy to follow and that some' day Great Britain may call upon jWashing ton to "back up its bluff." jr The Westminster Gazette,- referring to the isame matter, remarks this af ternoon:, "The interview is j a fruity example of Sherman's saloon style." The Globe on his subject says to-f day: "Secretary1 Sherman 'had better rid himself of the idea that Uncle Sara is goirtg to boss the show, either oh the gold fields' or. in the fisheries. We are not ready to follow every quarrel With blows: but, when we strike ! we strike hard and the. idea of our being afraid. of a third-rate naval power like ' the United States could only have occurred to a lunatic or to Mr. Sherman. Judg ing from his latest performances we may charitably assume that the ru mors that Air. Sherman is suffering from mental disturbances are correct." The utterances attributed: to Secre tary Sherman upon which the com ment of the London papers is based were as follows: " ,1 "England is a gre,at country, but it is not always safe to assume that she is ready to follow up every quarrel with blows. She quarrels oftener than she fights; It woiild be. exceedingly difficult for her to hght us all alone about our seal catching. Russia and Japan are in a similar position, and any quarrel between the United States and England on this score would, , in all probability, involve those other two nations." m Advance of the British Up the Nile i Cairo, August 9. The column of troops commanded by Colonel Hunter, of the Anglo-Egyptian expedition up the Nile, Which left Merani on July 29th, attacked Abu Hamid I at 5:30 o'clock on, the morning of August 7th, after eighteen hours march. Severe house-to-house fighting followed- and the place was captured by the expedi tionary force. , Two British officers were killed during the fighting. The names of the officers are Major H. M. Sidney and Lieutenant B. Fitz. Clar ence. Abu Hamid is the first Objective point of the Anglo-Egyptian expedition now operating against Khartoum. The railroad which has been extended along the Nile route from Wady Haifa wjll now be connected with Abu Hamid, from whence there is open Water in the Nile to Berber and Khartoum, near which plade the Khalifa is concentrat ing his forces at Omdurman, the great camp of the deverishes. It is not ex pected that much' fighting will occur before the Anglo-Egyptian force ap pears before Khartoum. The latter is understood to have been strongly for tified and to have a number of the mpdern type of guns placed in advan tageous positions, in addition to being provided with all the artillery which the deverishes have captured or pur chased during recent years. ; "" Merani (also written Merawi), is near the fourth cataract and was until re cently the most advanced uost' occupied by the Anglo-Egyptian force which captured tDongola last year. It is in the 'great bend of the Nile between Old Dongola and the sixth cataract. Abu Hamid is a.t the north point of the bend. :: - j ' '.""!' International Champion Rnmning Race i London, August 9.

TheDe Armit; Mines Still the Subject of Contention To Test the iToroe of the In Junctions by Holding Meetings The Marching to be Kept Up Numerous Ap plications at Headquarters i for' Food. West Virginia. Coal Shipped to Pittsburg. Pittsburg, August 9. Appeals for food and provisions were1 numerous at .- the headquarters : of the miners' officials j in this city today. It appeared as If there was a wail from every section of the district and miners in' person were present to ask that the suffering ones be looked after. Secretary Warner was kept busy answering the appeals. He said that they had sent more than $1,000 worth of groceries and provisions into various parts of the district. , The appeals are now coming in from the families, the heads of which are at I the various mining camps using their influence 'to keep other men from working.) . A series of meetings are to be held , all over the district. It is expected to keep up the interest in every '." secilon and ft strengthen every point where there is the least - indication of weakness. . v President Dolan issued a call today for a mass meeting of all the miners at Canons burg Wednesday morning. It. is expected that Eugene V. Debs, Mr. Jones, Patrick Dolan, -M. P. .Carrick and others will make addresses. " At the Instigation of Thomas E.' Sutton, of Wlllocks, Henry Ulrich, Emil Nagel, Henry Huser and Gustave Rings, miners were .committed to jail for a hearing be fore Alderman J. B. McMasters on vari ous charges today. Ulrich is charged with aggravated assault and battery; Nagel is charged with assault and battery and Huser and Rings with unlawful as semblage. The arrests are the result of an altercation at Wlllocks, July 26th, on account of the strike. Warrants are out for a number of others. Early this morning, the miners of West Elizabeth made a march on the mines of the Elizabeth Mining Company, formerly operated by Horner & Roberts. . About fifty men were going to work. After a consultation the men asked that they be allowed to finish loading ; a flat. They agreed to go out as soon as it was load ed, which will -take several days. The officials of the company made an effort this afternoon to get permission from the mining officials to continue work on a 69 cent basis. This was not given and it is expected that the mine will be Idle as soon as the flat is loaded. Thomas B. De Armit,? superintendent of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company, worked hard' today to get the miners at Oak Hill to return to work. By a house-to-house canvass he succeeded in getting a few more diggers than have been at work. Thirty-seven miners went in. The men were told by Mr. De Armit that they would be given five days to vacate the company's houses. The stflk- ers say only seventy-five men out of 285 were at work in the Plum Creek mine to- i day. The company claims almost a fuli force was working. The strikers are 1 hapefuLthat the remaining diggers, will ' quit work after getting their pay. The Plum Creek men were not present today, and it feJexpected the company will re quire the7men to sign a flew agreement before they are given their envelopes. The.Sandy Creek miners are awaiting de velopments. They are hopeful the courts will set aside the contracts of the com pany which the nen were obliged to sign. President Dolan will go to the Canons burs: region and defv the injunctions hv speaking at a meeting scheduled for Au gust 11th. It is said only thirteen gondolas were loaded at Plum Creek today. There is to be a big demonstration in the morn ing at Plum Creek when the strikers be lieve they will be able to close down the mine. '- ,' J- C. Dysart. a member of the uniform ity commission returned to the city today alter a weeK's aDsenoe. He says the work of isecuring signatures will be push ed earnestly and he believes the required number will be secured. The miners, he says, cannot possibly win the strike, as tne mines sun in operation can sutd1v the demand. Some of the coal operators are getting restless and threaten to attempt to start their mines this week. W. H. Simmons, a large coal dealer, says there is no scarcity of coal. - Last night 250 cars of coal came into Pittsburg from West Virginia, and large quantities are being shipped to Pittsburg from the mines, along the Penn sylvania railroad. Wheeling, W. Va., August9. This morn ing a small army of miners from Mounds ville and Benwood gathered at the works or-the Glendale company, eight miles be low the city and soon induced the work ing miners at tftat place to come out to a man. Flushed with their success at this point, , the strikers, re-enforced bv the Glendale men and by a body of strikers that had come across the hills from Elm Grove, went to the Boggs Run mines, and camped on the hill side. This afternoon, as the miners came out from their work, the strikers took them in and secured their promise to. remain out of the mines during the strike if all the men employed uy wie uoggs tun would make the some promise. . A demonstration against the Heatering-, ton and Wegee River mines, across th river in the Belmont district, was to have lanen piace tomorrow, but as the Heath erington men came out today and joined the strike the plan taay be changed. Conflict Between State and Federal Au thority Topeka, Kan., August-9. The long threatened clash between the-United States courts and the authorities of the state of Kansas canie today "when At torney. General Boyle, acting under the advice and with the concurrence of the state department, took action in the state courts in open defiance of the federal authorities. ! This action is the outcome of an in junction issued on July 29th last r by United States District Judge John A. Williams, of Arkansas, at Colorado Springs, Col., by which he positively enjoined State Insurance Commissioner Webb McNeal and Attorney General Boyle, of Kansas, from bringing any proceedings what ever under the state laws to prevent the Mutual Life In surance Company from doing business in Kansas. Attorney General Boyle today went before the state supreme court, bring ing proceedings in quo warranto against ; the Mutual Life Insurance Company to compel that corruption to appear before the state supreme court courts and show by what authority it is transacting business in Kansas. If he is arrested application will be made to the federal supreme court for a writ of habeas corpus. Yesterday's Races Cincinnati, August 9. The finish in the fourth race today at Newport -was the most exciting ever seen at the traek. Twelve horses came through the stretch all under a fierce drive, heads apart. For the last eighth of a mile it was nip and tuck, Osman finally winning out under the masterly rid ing of Joe Hill. The other four events also furnished some very lively sport. St. Louis, August 9. Favorites car ried off half of the events at the fair grounds today. There was a noticeable decrease in the attendance, owing to the re-opening of pool rooms down town. TheJ racing was good and finish es close. Weather clear and track fast, New York, August 9.

SEIZED AS A FILIBUSTER. , A Schooner Seized Claim that the Amuni tlon is for Our Government Denied. : New Haven, Conn., August. 9. "Vice President Hooper, of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, said today that the ammunition put on board the schooner Blanche Morgan, on Satur day, was consigned to the United States government, and there could be no doubt as to the genuineness of the con signment. It was ordered by , the ord nance department for the government, and' consisted of "six-pound shells for Hotehkiss guns. They were made i of smokeless powder furnished by the government, and the shells, Mr. Hooper said, were properly stamped and the ammunition inspected by Captain Rowell, a government inspector. New York, August 9. At army head quarters here all knowledge was denied today regarding the ammunition on board the little schooner Blanche Mor gan, seized at Bridgeport, Conn., on suspicion of being destined for the Gu- ban - insurgents. The statement wast made by . the schooner's captain, . Wa son, that the ammunition was con signed ' to the engineering department, at Governor's island, but in contradic tion of this, Major P. Hipps, in com mand ot the engineers at Governor's island, said that ammunition was being shipped from, instead of being received there. At the quartermaster's depart ment in this city it was said that no consignment such as that on board the Blanche Morgan had been ordered. The Blanche Morganis asmall schooner and not capable pf carrying the load'she had on board to Cuba. It might be.however, that she was expecting to meet some larger vessel outside somewhere and transfer the war material, ' ! Dividends by Suspended National Banks Washington, August 9.

The popu lists are not pleased with, the republi can methods of carrying out the fusion agreement. Senator Butler considers Congressmanw'sTtraner's position as being very ticklish so far as the latter is concerned. The university foot ball team is to have as a. member William, Austin, the giant blacksmith, of Stanley county. He is 6 feet 9 inches high, weights' 240 pounds, is 21 years old Und can car ry a 500 pound bale of cotton. Rain is yet needed in several comi ties along the northern border of the state: The price of Delaware and Niagara grapes has, for some reason unknown to the shippers, quickly fallen. News papers north 'state that the grapes are in great demand and perhaps the com mission merchants may be playing the familiar trick of deceiving the shippers as to prices. The appearance and development of cotton are declared by experts to be- simply I perfect in this section. M. T. Leach, a well known local pol itician,: returned yesterday from a Eu ropean tour. -s Senator Butler renews his assertion that the fight against trusts is to be the supreme issue in the coming cam paign. A I member of the democratic state committee says he thinks ' the free silver movement has reached its high water mark and will not figure prominently in the 1898 campaign. ' The druggists " here yesterday de clined to sell soda water, cigars or to bacco. A crusade has been made against Sunday selling. A preacher early in the morning went into a drug' store and called for tobacco. He was told he could not be served. United States Marshal O, J. Carroll, is very sick at Connelly Springs. ' It seems to. be quite a collapse. He will try to get to Buffalo Springs tomorrow.

None of the distinctive costumes are now worn by either the wpmen of the men. Today at the office iof Justice of the Peace John Nichols, tjhere was a great gathering of negroes the attraction, being the trial of some young men of that race for whitecapping and beat ing Rev. Jake JoneS, a; negro "holi ness" or "sanctiflcation" preacher. Friday night he was given a severe drubbing. . The white marble headstones pre pared here have been put up at' the graves of 448 North Carolina soldiers buried at Winchester, yiu September 17th the corner stone of a monument to -the North Carolina dead will be un veiled there. Charles Broadway Rouss will be present. He gives $500 to wards the cost of the monument. . Governor Russell made quite a long stay at the seashore and did not re 'turn until this afternoon. A letter to the agricultural depart ment says many Colorado people are coming to this state; that "they have their eyes on North Carolina and its advantages." ARMOR PLATES FOR WARSHIPS' The Board to Investigate 'the Question of the Government, Building a Plant Con venes The Scope of its Investigation. Washington, August 9. The special naval board appointed by Acting Secre tary Roosevelt for the purpose of prepar ing for the information of congress esti mates of the costs of establishing and operating a government plant for the manufacture of armor, met at the navy department today. The plan is to make a. thorough investigation of the question presented in all of its aspects, not only with a view to the ascertainment of the Cost of building a great government fac tory but after that has been accomplished, propositions will he invited for the sale of a complete plant to the government. In the pursuit of the first branch of the subject it will be necessary for the board to travel a good deal, possibly to- Europe before the enquiry is ended, though that has not yet been determined upon. Cer tainly it will be necessary for it to visit many points in this country, where it has been suggested that a government plant may be advantageously established, in order to ascertain at first hand their rela tive, merits and to learn which of them presents the1' necessary conditions. These, as laid down for the guidance of '.the board, are, first, accessibility to iron and coal and routes of transportation, so that the heavy armor produced may be readily laid down at tide water, where naval ves sels are built. Next, weight must 'be given to the character of the population of the place from an industrial point of view .and its ability to furnish a 'large stock of skilled mechanics for the govern ment to draw upon in manning its plant. So far, there has been no lack of sug gestions to the navy department from people who would like to locate the plant. They have come, according to Acting Secretary Roosevelt, from Marion, Ind., from Birmingham, Ala.; from Pennsyl vania; from Maryland, and indeed from almost every part of the country where there is iron and coal. One recommenda tion for a site in New Jersey came from a woman.. According to ' Mr. Roosevelt, some of the places mentioned had only the scenery to recommend them. Inasmuch as the ship builders have fail ed to respond favorably to the govern ment's invitation to submit bids within the $300 mark for supplying armor for the ships now building, Mr. Roosevelt called the especial attention of the board to this subject, and one of its first-duties will be to devise some practicable plan for the procurement of this armor for the three battleships, Illinois, Alabama and Wiscon sin within a reasonable period of time. Acting Secretary Roosevelt has accepted the offer of Cramps to furnish the diagon al armor for the Alabama, and this en sures the vessel against delay in construc tion. 'Regret is expressed that the con tractors who are building the two other vessels have not as yet made a similar proposition as to their shUs, but if some such proposition is net forthcoming soon, Mr. Roosevelt will direct the construction bureau to immediately prepare plans for proceeding with the work on these ships as well as possible in the absence of the diagonal armor.- Cramps offer is to furnish four of the plates that are used as bulkheads in the interior of the ship, weighing about .thirty tone and this he agrees to do at the price of $300 per ton set: by, congress, for which Acting Secre tary Roosevelt has officially thanked him.
