WIDENINQ CHURCH STREET.
Street Railway and Electric Light
Mattel 8 Postponed.
The board of aldermen held an ad
journed meeting last niht. All were
present except Alderman VeKinnoy.
Dr. Egbert Smith and R. O. Vaughn
appeared before the board and ptated
that there was some opposition to the
donation of land by property own
ers on C hurch street for. the pu of
widening that street, and that f: wi
dening of Church street and grading
of the same as far as Smith street was
absolutely necessary for the purpose
of drainage, and that there would be
no difficulty about the procuremect of
right of way to that point. They ask
ed that same be widened and graded
as soon as possible. Alderman Shaw
moved that the matter be referred to
street commit'ee with power to act.
Carried.
The matter of taking the land of
Ceasar Cone, for Chestnut street, went
over to next meeting1.
Mr. J. F. Jordan, representing a
party of gentlemen who are here for
the purpose of making a proposition
in regard to putting in an electric light
plant for lighting the city, and also
for putting in a street railway system,
stated that they were ready to make a
proposition to the city for the 9ame
provided the city was ready to act.
After consultation it was decided that
as the city had advertised that bids
would be received until November 15th
that it was best to hear all matters
pertaining to said lighting and street
railway system until after that date.
Alderman Ellington made a motion
to that effect. Carried.
OFF FOR IT LEANS VILJ-E.
County Candidates Got Off To-Day
With Many Followers.
The county and legislative candi
dates got off at 11:15 to-day for Mc
Leansville to speak this afternoon.
The campaign is warming up, and lar
ger crowds are greeting -the speakers.
The Republicans, all except Mr. Doug
las, can see defeat staring them in the
face, but are whistling to keep up eouc
age. Douglas is likely to be the worst
fooled man in the State when it is all
over, for he feeln that he has no oppo
sition whatever. The republican that
expects nothing shall not be fooled in
this election. The following Greens
boro people went down today to hear
the speaking: R. M. Rees.W. J. Black
burn, J. S. Cobb, Logan McCulloch,
W. E. Bevill, J.M. Rees,W. L Whar
ton, S. W. Porter, Seymore Kirkman,
E. Y. Lyon, John M. Hammer, How
ard Gardner, B M. Bridgers and a
fjw others. It is quite noticeable that
more than two-thirds of the above are
democrats. The republicans don't
seem to be following their "leaders"
this year.
TWO GREAT SPEECHES.
Guilford Democrats Renewed inTheii
Determination.
According to the announcemon
made in the papers aud by poste
terday afternoon, Hon. (.'has. I.

last night. In the afternoon, owi

to
h.;
room, though about full, wa
packed: but at night the building as
crowded to its utmost capacity and
people were turned away by the score.
Never in the history of Greensboro,
perhaps, have her people heard more
clear cut, forceful, clean and effective
campaign speeches than those heard
yesterday and last night.
The clear, ringing voice, pleading
in earnest tones for white men to bury
their differences and stand solidly to
gether for the common interests of the
ADglo-Saxon race, will echo and re
echo in the minds of those present
long after the victory has been won.
No true white man will be indifferent
to the earnest demand of his race.

FIRST SIGN OF AGGRESSION
By the frmch Was Shown To
i?ay In the fashodi Affair.
FRENCHMAN SMASHES WINDOWS.
A Current Number of Punch Pub
lished a Cartoon Which Aroused
the Ire of the Frenchmen.
By Cable to the Telkgbam.
London, Oct. 22 The first sign of
French aggression because of the Fa
shoda affair was shown today when a
Frenchman smashed the windows in the
front office of Punch with his umbrella.
In the window was displayed a car
toon by Sir John Tenniel, which was
published in a current number of
Punch, and it was this that excited and
aroused the ire of the Frenchman.
The cartoon represents Marchand as
a monkey upon the street with an or
gan grinder. John Bull standing by
and frowning and telling the French
organ grinder to go away. The grin
der asks: "What will you give me if
I go away?" John Bull eplies: "I'll
give you something if you don't."
The Frenchman who smashed the
windows was promptly arrested.
THE WORK OF A SHARPER.
How He Qot 25 Cents From a Ker
nersvllle flan.
Mr. George Ray, of Kernersville,was
caught by a "sharper" at one of the
warehouses yesterday. The fellow put
up a pitiful story, saying that a man
named John Allison was dead and that
he was trying to raise ironey to bury
him. After questioning the stranger,
who was a white man, Mr. Ray gave
bira 2o cents.
After the fellow had left a friend
told - Mr. Rav that the man wantedl
the money to buy whiskey with. The
"sharper" was followed to one of the
bar-rooms and Mr. Ray found him
there calling for a drink.
4 You told me you wanted that mon
ey to help bury a dead man," said
Mr. R.y.
Pointing to a fellow that was unable
to walk alone, the 'sharper" replied :
"Well, there is the dead man."
Mr. Ray employed Mr. J. S. Gro
gan to prosecute the "sharper" for
getting money under false pretense.
A war "ant-was issued for the fellow's
arrest, but he was not found last night.
Mr. Ray returned home last evening.
He stated to the reporter that he ex
pected to make the "sharper" suffer
for the lie he told him. -Winston Sen

Will Mot Be Adopted Without a
Struggle if at All.
I5y Wire to The Tkleukam.
Washington, D.C. Oct. 22 Admiral
Sampson's plan for having the navy
own and operate all government
transports is not going to be adopted
without a struggle if it is adopted at
all. The army proposes having some
thing to say about its own interest in
the matter when the question comes
before congress as a preliminary to
new legislation, which is likely to
snarl all interested parties up so that
the easiest way out will be to drop it
altogether. :
The army officers contend that in the
next few years the navy will have little
to do and the army will have the bulk
of the work to do in maintaining our
supremacy in the far outlying terri
tory. Yellow Fever Today.
By Wire to the Telegram.
Washington, Oct. 22 Today's bul
letins from the yellow fever districts
show that frosts have occurred
throughout Mississippi, lhere was
killing frost in the northern part of
the state. The weather bureau pre
dicts the temperature will remain be
low the seasonal average) for several
days. The temperature nearly reaches
the previous low records in the fever
district.
Two Convicts Captured.
The two white Federal prisoners
Enloe and Easton, who made their es
cape from the penitentiary potato
patch last Monday morning were cap
tured Thursday night at Burlington.
It appears that they walked to that
place. They were hanging around the
depot Thursday night, no doubt wait
ing to beat their way on some train,
when they were seen by some boys who
reported the matter to the police, with
the result that they were captured.
They 6till had on their convict garb
They were brought back and placed
in the "pen" yesterday morning.

TILLMAN AT FAYETTEWLLE.
Thousands Heard the Soutfr Carolina
Senator Yesterday. c
Fayetteville, N. C, Oct. 21 This
has ben a great day for Fayettevilie
and for all the Cape Feajr country.
About 1 o'clock last night it began to
rain and there were showers during
most of the day. It was feared that
many thousands would be deterred by
the bad weather, which was at its
worst about the hour people living back
from the railroad would start for the
stations, and no doubtr that was the
case. But, notwithstanding this, there
was a great crowd at the speaking, es
timated at from six to ten thousand
besides those who lined the streets and
filled the windows en route.
The speaking was at the grounds of
the Cumberland- County Agricultural
Society, beyond Mallett's pond, where
the grand stand was early filled with
ladies and their escorts. The judge's
stand across the race track was used
for the speakers.
At 11:30 o'clock the procession
started from the Lafayette hotel. Three
hundred horsemen in red shirts headed
it. Next came a float drawn by four
horses upon which were twenty-two
beautiful young ladies in white, repre
senting the twenty-two precincts of
Cumberland. Next came a carriage
containing Mayor Cook, County Chair-
Tfi&a Huske, Maj. E. J. Hale and Sen
ator Tillman. Another carriage con
tained Messrs. H. McD. Robinson and
W. Atkinson, Hons. Thomas W.
Mason and W. H. Kitchin. Then fol
lowed a long line of carriages and
other vehicles. "On either side marched
r
the White Government Unions of
Cumberland, escorting their guests,
the visiting delegations from Wil
mington, Bennettaville, S. C., Red
Springs, Maxton, etc.
At Senator Tillman's request, Capt.
Mason preceded him in the speaking,
the senator saying that he wanted to
hear a representative North Carolin
ian's presentation of the cae before
venturing upon the novel business of
advising the people of another state.
Captain Mason made an eloquent ap
peal to the people along the lines
adopted by the higher class of our
state canvassers.
Senator Tillman spoke an hour and
a half, and the crowd were crying out
for him to continue when he closed. He
is certainly one of the most remark
able speakers in America. It was easy
to see in the almost inspired South
Carolinian the veritable leader whose
victory in his own state under what
seemed to be impossible conditions has
caused wonder throughout the land.
The Senator said that he had never
heard of a state in such a condition
politically as North Carolina. In hin
state the blacks were three to two of
the whites, whereas in North Carolina
there were but half as many blacks as
there were whites. He could not, there
fore, conceive of any reason short of
Idiocy why the whites, with their large
majority, did not get together and pre
vent negro domination. If it were not
idiocy, and he knew that the masses
of North Carolinians were far removed
from that, then the trusted servants of
the two wings of what was once Vance's
democracy, namely, the democrats and
the populists, must have been derelict
in their duty. They should have
found a way to unite in the face of the
dreadful r3ality of negro domination
He blamed both democrats and popu
lists for their continued division, but
made a telling appeal to the populists
to accept the invitation of vastly more
numerous democrats to return to the
party and wipe out from power their
common enemy. By so doing the re
turning populists would strengthen
the silver wing of the democracy and
help keep the gold bug democrats if
there were any from influencing the
the democratic party policy.
Just before concluding, Senator Til-
man said: "Well, I have spoken
plainly to you people, and maybe you
think I have knocked and cuffed you
too much. Do you?'' The great as
semblage answered with one voice
"No, no. Kick us some more; don'
stop." Special to Morning Post.
Mass Meeting of White People.
There will be a great mass meeting
of the white people at Goldsboro on
the 28th day of October, for the pur
pose of taking into consideration the
political and social conditions of the
east. After -the' adjournament of the
convention, there will be short ad
dresses upon the political situation by
Honorables T. J. Jarvis, R. T. Ben
nett, C. B. Aycock, C. B. Watson,
Locke Craig, R. B. Glenn, Benjamin
Posey and Thomas W. Mason. Sen
ator John W. Daniel, of Virginia, has
been invited and is expected to speak.
Arrangements will be made with al
the railroads for special rates ana
schedules. Papers throughout the
state are requested to copy .

BLANCO'S SMART SCHErtE.
Plot to Proclaim a Spanish-American
Republic in Cuba.
Washington, Oct. 21 According to
a private telegram from Havana,
Blanco, Pando and other prominent
Spaniards had, at the time of the sur
render of Santiago, organized a plot
to proclaim a Spanish-American re
public in Cuba. Preliminary steps
had all been taken, and had the plot
succeeded the United States rright
have had another war on hand.
Blanco and the other leaders had
arranged that he should proclaim a
revolution against Spain, using volun
teers and tbe army to subdue the in
surgents. Envoys were sent to Mexico
and South American republics ask
ing aid and recognition, Pando him
self going to Mexico. Inen came
Spain's defeat and her suing for
peace, winch put an end to tne
plan. It is thought that Blanco's
intention was ultimately, if he could
succeed in establishing a republic, to
turn it over to Spain. Pando's return
to Spain was by order of the Madrid
government, and he was censured for
the part he had taken in the mock re
bellion, Blanco having made it ap
pear, when the plot was discovered,
that Pando and not himself was at
the head of the movement.
SPANIARDS GRATIFIED
At Having Put American Commis
sioners to Thinking.
By Cable To Thb Tklbgram.
Pari8,Oct. 22. Itis reported on good
authority that the Spanish Peace Com
missioners at the joint session yester
day, submitted proposals respecting
the Cuban debt.- Unfortunately the
proposals "were so prolix as to what is
involved that the American commis
sioners were unable to ascertain their
purport immediately.
Translators are now working upon
them. The Spaniards seem to be grat
ified at the satisfaction of having
transferred to the Americans the task
of considering proposals.

CONDEMNED BY THEIR OWN.
Another Prominent Republican of Wil
mington Favors White Rule.
A repoi ter of the Messenger last
evening called upon Col. F. W. Fos
ter, one of the most prominent and in
fluential of the Republican business
men of Eastern North Carolina, and
lately chairman of the Board of Coun
ty Commissioners of New Hanover
county, for the purpose of ascertaining
his views upon the present condition of
affairs in our city.
Mr. Foster said :
"Taking into consideration the de
termined will and set purpose of the
citizens who represent the class of our
citizens who pay 95 per cent, of the
taxes, to take control of affairs, I have
remarked to quite a number of people,
and am still of the opinion, that it
would be best at this time for the re
publicans not to put a county ticket in
the field. - While I say this. I want to
emphasize tbe fact that I firmly believe
in the principles of the republican
party."
In speaking further of the terrible
condition of affairs here. Colonel
Foster said he recognized the fact
that the present movement was one by
the business men and tax payers of
the community to administer and con
trol their affairs. "I think," he said,
"that the representatives of 95 per
cent, of the taxes paid ought to con
trol. They ought not to be deprived
of their privilege of controlling the
administratiou of their affairs. I want
no eitizen deprived of any of his rights
or privileges to which he is entitled by
reason of his intelligence and moral
worth, yet I- am heartily in favor of the
control of affairs by the intelligence,
character and property interests of any
community."
INCITED NEGROES TO ASSAULT.
The Infamous Speech of a Republi
can in Richmond County.
Laurinbnrg, N. C, Oct. 21 The re
publican county candidates, in com
pany with a white republican by the
name of Henry Covington, are now
making the county canvass.
Yesterday Covington spoke at Old
Hundred and made a villianous speech,
He told the negroes they were the best
race of people on earth.
He also told them that when our
white girls return from colleges and
schools the negroes are usually em
ployed to look after them and drive
them about over the country, and ad
ded :
"If I were in your places I would
put my arms around them."
Today they were billed to speak at
Mason's Cross roads, neartiere. The
best citizens of Gibson, Laurinburg,
Laurel Hill and the community gener
ally, resolved that they would not have
a repetition of the occurrences. So
they were promptly met by three hun
dred of our most determined element
and advised to make no more inflam
ing speeches in lower Richmond.
As for Covington, he was made to
stand up in a buggy and retract, say
ing he was sorry for what he said, and
promising never to do so again.
He was then put in his buggy and told
to hit the grit, which he did.
If men who call themselves white are
determined to go round inflaming the
negroes, and abusing good white men
and women, the people are determined
that they shall seek other quarters to
carry on their nefarious business.
MAJ. CHARLES M. STEDMAN.
The Charleston News and Courier
Pays Him a Compliment.
The Charleston News and Courier,
referring1 to the announcement that
Major Stedman would tane the stump,
says:
North Carolina has no more loyal
son than Charles M. Stedman. Al
ways true to his State and to himself, he
possesses the confidence of the people
in a marked degree, and it is well that
in the present crisis he should be called
into service. Since the death of Zeb
Vance he is the most eloquent and
powerful speaker in the state, and we
are sure that he will arouse the white
people of the Old North State to a full
conception of their danger and duty.
In the present contest there is no mid
dle-ground the civilization of the
white man is in peril, and Stedman is
in the front line of battle. If the peo
ple will follow where he leads, the vic
tory will be won.
