THE FOOTPRINT OF BLOOD LEFT BY MARCHING CIVILIZATION. So Declares the Rev. Bllkoysky in a Sermon in Baltimore One of Those Paroxysms of Agony That Mark the Path of Sorrows Typified by Calvary The Trouble at Bottom a Religious One, the Bloody Steps of Which Will Lead to Higher Life-Christianity Will Spread as a Result of the Present Disturbances. (Baltimore Sun.; Kev. Anthony Bilkoysky, pastor of the Universalist Church, Guilford avenue and Lanvale street, preached yesterday morninrr upon "The Trag edy in China." He said in part: "The tragedy in China is one of those paroxysms of agony that mark the path of sorrows typified in Cal vary. It is the struggle of the new time with the old spirit. It is the footprint of blood left by marching civilization. It is the birthpanir of a larger order of life. In the midst of sorrows and fears let us look calmly at the facts. "This trouble is at bottom a relig ious one. Practical religion in China is the worship of ancestors. The Chinaman lives iu the past; he is in sulted if told that he may be wiser than his fathers. Hence his conser vatisma . ".oe, a hat, a robe, a house has not changed fashion in 2,000 years. The most sacred spots are the tombs of the ancestors. The mer chant and missionary are a menance to the old order their one aim is to change it. The present horrors are the results of fanatics trying to resist such change. "The Boxers, or Fists of Public Harmony, is a half-political, half religious order. They are well armed, well orgrnized, numerous, and ablaze with hatred for the foreigner. They believe themselves immune from physical danger ; calm that their allies the unseen spiritual hosts rain lead and death upon their enemies. The regular army, believing this, is afraid to fire on them. The Government is corrupt to a degree. With corruption has come weakness. If the Emperor is father of his people how nan he rule well when he and his dynasty, long drunk with power are now in a state of mental and moral delirium tremens? With a palsied Government, a fanati cal mob let loose on defenseless for eigners, backed by the tacit sympathy of vast hordes, we have the scene and the actors of the most revolting orgies iii the longannals of man's crime and folly. "That the merchant and the mis ionary have been irritants is beyond doubt. The old order resents the new industrial order. The railroad and telegraph offends the living and the dead. "The missionary, with all his nobility of aim, his purity of life and purpose, has been a rock of offense. China needs the religion of Christ; but a theological propaganda is out of place; it needs the moral and hu manitarian side of the Gospel. That benighted people, with torture in their courts of justice, infanticide in their homes, lying, dishonesty and deceit everywhere, need some simple but radical ideas of justice, honesty, humanity; mission work must change front. "The missionary has failed to sym pathize with or understand the Chi nese mind, saying that light from heaven has ever visited that land and that Confucuis, like Israel, is a school master providentially sent to lead his people to Christ. This must be seen and taught. "What will happen? The Western powers are going to be active in the future government of that vast realm somewhat like England in India and Egypt."

Everv white mau ought to work for white supremacy as if the result of the election depended on nis one vote and on his own personal efforts. Let no advocate of the amendment feel so confident of its adoption as to relax his efforts in the slightest degree. Of course wo are confident that the amendment will be adopted by an overwhelming majority, but our con fidence is based on the belief that every white man will do his full dutv No election can carry itself, and it matters not how good or how popular a cause may be it cannot succeed unless its advocates strive lor its sue cess. And surely no cause was ever more worthy of the greatest efforts of its advocates than this great cause of white supremacy in North Carolina. White men of North Carolina, do vour utmost and "weary not in well doing," but from now until the sun sets ou the second day of August go to work unceasingly, unremittingly, with all your zeal and energy, and a glorious victory will surely gladden your hearts.

Who first dared combat with liberty's foe Through years of suffering, toil and woe. Oft leaving foot-prints blood-stained on the snow? White men. Who formed our States, writing them as one, And never have left their task since first begun, But by their deeds the world's respect have won? White men. Who, evermore, have stood up for the right, And have iu darkest places spread the . , 1'Rht, And thus have ruled by justice not by might? White men. Who'll ever rule this land as they think best, And now demand in calls from East to West. That doubts of this at once be laid at rest? White men. In the contest now on, who'll surely win, Who'll mark the traitors and watch the true men, And soon a new order tf things begin? White men. CAPTURE OF TIENTSIN. The Allied Forces Finally Carry the Native City by Storm. (Baltimore Sun.) Although the allied forces were re pulsed in their first assaults upon Tientsin, it appears that they finally succeeded in carrying the city by storm, the Chinese retiring iu confu sion after the last attack. The occupation of Tientsin by the allies was regarded as vitally neces sary. If hostilities continue the city will furnish an excellent base for mil itary operations and the contemplated advance on Pekin. The European, American and Japanese forces landed in China to date aggregate about 22, 000 men. The experts estimate that an army at least 100,000 strong will be required to cope with the Chinese under arms in the Province of Chih-li, where most of the disturbances have occurred. President McKinley will not convene Congress in extra session unless conditions in China render such a step absolutely necessary. This decision was reached at the meeting of the Cabinet yesterday. There will be for the present at least, no change in the policy of the Admin istration as set forth in the recent an nouncement of Secretary Hay. This Government does not consider itself at war with China, and such troops as it may send to that country will not be landed for the purpose of making war upon the Chinese Government. American troops will co-operate with the soldiers of the other powers in restoring order. When this is ac complished it is to be assumed that they will be promptly withdrawn, and the Chinese Government will make reparation for the acts of the Boxers. In the absence of any infor mation to the contrary it would appear that the reported murder of the foreign Ministers and residents at Pekin was the work of a mob tem porarily in control of the Chinese cap ital. If the Chinese Goverment, as it doubtless will do, disavows the action of the revolutionists, the United States will have no cause for war with China. Certainly no motive of re venge will be allowed to shape the policy of the United States toward the Chinese Empire, whatever action may be taken by European powers. Up to the present time the Adminis tration has displayed a commendable spirit in dealing with the situation in China, and it is to be hoped that there will be no departure from the policy laid down by the State Depart ment. Certainly no reason exists at present for any change in the course pursued by this Government. The Negro's Vote Kills the White Man's. (Pittsboro Record.) Every negro's vote kills the vote of some white man. Therefore the more negro votes cast the more white men's votes are killed, and the smaller the number of negroes voting the smaller is the number of white votes killed. Ought white men wish to increase or decrease the number of negro votes? Remember that the amendment will diminish the negro vote by about eighty thousand. And this means that the votes of 80,000 white men which are now killed by negro voters, will then count to swell the majority for white supremacy. So that really the amendment will enfranchise 80, 000 white men, whose votes are now killed by that number of negroes. The Lamest Excuse of All. (Stanley Enterprise.) The feeblest and puniest excuse for opposition to the amendment is for a white man to say that he would sup port the amendment if it difranchised all the negroes, but because all can't be got rid of he don't want any dis franchised. This reminds us of a man dying of hunger and because he can't get a whole loaf dies before he will accept the piece of bread offered to him. The amendment instead of disfran chishing any white men will enfran chise about'75,000. How? By disfranchising that number of negroes, whose votes now kill the votes of 75,000 white men.

The Action of Holton Strongly Denounced Demand Made That Federal Interference, Its Object Base and Partisan, Shall Cease in This State Support of all Who are True Men And "The Man, Fac tion or Party, That Tries to Frighten the People of North Carolina Will Fail," Declares General Ransom to Assem bled Thousands Amid Thunders of Wild Applause. (Fred L. Menitt, iu Raleigh News and Observer.) Winston - Salem, July 17. "The man, the faction, the party that tries to frighten the people of North Car olina will fail." These were the opening words of a great speech here to-day by ex-Senator Matt W. Ransom. They were greeted with a mighty shout of approval from three thousand throats, for the people were pleased with them. It was a shout of joy and triumph waking the echoes beneath the venerable shade trees in front of Salem Female Academy where the meeting was held. The blare of music came pulsing between the roars of cheering, and women waved their handkerchiefs in the bright sunlight. "All history for a hundred and fifty years proves that North Carolina has never been scared," he continued. The applause broke out afresh with triumphant unanimity with not one dissenting whisper in all the bedlam of happy voices. "They move slowly, these people of North Carolina, but when they do move they move like the waters of the sea, like the earth quake's shock or the storm's mighty sweep; nothing can withstand them." The words came slowly, deliberately, winged with conviction, but they were not now greeted with applause. They were too solemn, the manner of the man uttering them was too im pressive. And a splendid picture he made, standing there in the portico of the academy between two tall and massive pillars regarding the throng of people before him. That throng was composed of men of all callings in life, and of women and maidens in gaily colored dresses. Winston and Forsyth county are in earnest about this matter of arresting registrars, and they showed it to-day. Early in the morning they began to come in from the country, men with serious, sun-burned faces and honest, toil-worn hands. Every train brought delegations from neighboring towns. At 2 o'clock when the procession was ready to start from the court house square the streets were thronged with perspiring, enthusiastic human ity. Every business house in the city was closed. The procession was a very long one. In it, besides the mounted marshals, there were a large number of men on horseback and a thousand or more in line on foot, car rying flags. The speaker, the local committees and visitors were in carriages. The carriage containing General Ransom was drawn by four splendid bays. In the carriage with him were the mayors of Winston and Salem and Hon. Clement Manly. On account of the great length of the procession the march to the academy grounds was a tedious one and it was nearly 3 o'clock when Hon. Cyrus B. Watson called the meeting to order. It was assembled, he said, to hear a speech from one of North Carolina's most distinguished citizens and to take some steps in re gard to the recent outrageous and un warranted arrest of certain registrars who had refused to do the unlawful bidding of Radical leaders. This announcement was heard with a storm of applause and when the tumult ceased Mr. A. H. Eller rose and read the following: "Whereas. The citizens of the county of Forsyth, with neighbors from the sur rounding counties, have met to consider the present crisis of public affairs and to give expression to their condemnation of the conspiracy to intimidate and coerce the registrars of the county and deprive them of their liberty, we in mass-meeting assembled do "Resoli-e. That the arrest and prosecu tion of John T. Thompson and Hunter Wall, registrars of Winston, by the t inted States authorities on the affidavits of corrupt and ignorant negroes remanding them to jail in default of a most exorbi tant and extraordinary bail is an outrage on the rights of the people and gross dis regard of the laws and courts of the State. "That E. A. Holton. United States Dis trict Attorney, and the Republican Com missioner of this county together with the ignorant and vicious negroes allied with them have taken such steps as to convince the public of a delilerate con spiracy against the liberties of the citi zens of the State. and A.E. Holton, Chair man of the State Republican Executive Committee, by using men to do his bid ding in open disregard of the law and using his responsible office of United States District Attorney to drag the citi zens from their homes to distant places on grave charges, affecting their lilerties and to try them in a court where he has control of the criminal procedure, has committed a crime against the State and persisted in this outrage on justice, not withstanding the facts andthesworn tes timony of witnesses that 110 man who had a right to register has leen deprived of registration by the officers now under prosecution and notwithstanding the un contradicted testimony that hundreds of negroes are employed in the factories of Winston and live in other counties and States who have notoriously aud fraudu lently voted in the past el.t-tions in this county. "Reiolvtd, That registrars acting undf r the law, for the integrity of the ballot box have been, at the request of the cabal composing the prosecution, bound over to the United States court for base parti san ends, and the laws of North Carolina degraded and insulted, and we in this meeting assembled demand that a State officer acting under a .State law shalllie amendable only to the courts of the State and sovereignty of a State under the Constitution, respected and do hereby appeal to the sovereign people for a vindi cation of this just demand. "Radved, That this miserable effort of Federal office-holders and negroes to in Our Registrars Will Have the terfere with registrars in their lawful conj duct in the discharge of their duty wir fail everywhere in the State, as it has failed here. "That the duties of the registrars are plain and they must follow the law and in their lawful conduct in the discharge of their duty they will have the support of every true citizen against every effort, from whatever source it may come, to intimidate and coerce them to register illegal voters. They must and will have the support of every white man in North Carolina who loves his State and his home more than office purchased at the price of treason to his race." The reading of these resolutions was frequently interrupted by ap plause and when Mr. Eller had finish ed reading, the crowd, with a tre mendous shout, adopted them by a rising vote. The cheering lasted for nearly a minute, then ended only to be re newed when Mr. Manly rose to intro duce General Ransom, the speaker of the day. "In deeds, which have made the history of our native State for the past fifty years," said Mr. Manly, "he has been a conspicuous factor, and in those achievements of war and peace which have added to the annals of her fame, he has borne his part with honor and fidelity. Was the call of his country the trumpet cry to arms? he answered its clarion note with his body in the thick of many a bloody fray, winning by wisdom and courage the right to command soldiers who fought with Lee. Was the call of his country, the cry of its people tram pled beneath the iron heel of recon struction? he offered all he had to the State, with untiring zeal devoting his life to her service and with a voice eloquent and inspiring, kindling in every section the fires of patriotism and giving the light of hope and con fidence again to her people. Was the call of his country the demand of the State to represent her in the counsels of the nation? he answered, twenty four years of life were spent in the National Senate serving his people, using his commanding influence in the re-adjustment of the rights of the South, in upholding the honor and dignity of his State and honorably restoring her to her place in the Union. "Again comes the call of his coun try, and again he answers, now, foil of years and wisdom in the glory aud splendor of his manhood the lirst citizen of the Commonwealth, the noblest Roman of them all. (Ap plause.) His country calls in this crisis of the infant century when the mighty and controlling questions are presented: Shall we protect our civil ization and the honor and integrity of our race? Shall we permit the rights of a sovereign State and the liberties of her citizens to be trampled on by a conspiracy of Federal cilice-holders? Ransom has come to answer. Let us hear him " General Ransom was accorded an ovation that must have done his heart good. When the applause had dwin dled down to desultory clapping, he thanked his hearers for the honor they had done him, referred with pleasure to the fact that the two registrars, Thompson and Wall, who had recently been arrested were sit ting on the platform by him, and spoke as above quoted of the action of the Radicals in regard to them. "I am glad," he added, "that I am here to-day to unite with you in pro testing against such hio-h-handed measures. A great wron"r has been done these men, an unpardonable in sult has been offered to these people. I'd like to be able to characterize it a3 it deserves." (Applause.) Then he related the circumstances of the arrest, described the mockery of a trial that was held, showed how it was all done through Federal officers, men who did not derive their power from the people and who were in no wise responsible to the people, or in sympathy with them. "What has brought us here?" he cried. "We are here to stamp into the dust this effort to destroy free government in North Carolina. These things that have been done here during the past week are no trille3. It is an effort to interfere with the freedom of elections in North Caro lina, and they have interfered with them as far as they are able. They have gone to the very fountain head of your government: they have gone to the man who registers the voter and tried to dictate to him whom he shall register and whom he shall not register. "What is our jrovernment worth, what are your free institutions worth, if they can thus go to the custodian of your ballot, and tell him hi3 duty? Is that law? Before God it is not This is a government of the people, for the people and by the people, not bv Federal officers and revenue doo diers. "I am glad you have come up here to-day to protest against it. Such a demonstration as this gives me faith in the people of North Carolina, a faith somewhat akin to that I have in the Great Being above. "No worse crime than this you have just had here is complained of in the Declaration of Independence. What is the difference in putting your hand in the ballot-box and tak ing out the ballots cast or putting in those never cast and in saying who shall or who shall not cast them? I tell you this is an awful thing that they have undertaken. It is hard to realize the audacity of such an at tempt to distort and stifle the will of the people. Nothing but madness, nothing but the knowledge on the part of those who tried it that they were beaten, that their cause was lost, and lost forever, can account for it." (Tremendous applause.) Senator Ransom then spoke of the progress this country has made in the last century, and asked: "How was it done? It was done through free government, made free by the ballot box. Each man voted his will and now in this closing year of the nine teenth century shall" this system be broken down by Federal officers, who tell us who shall vote and who shall not? "Who discovered this country, re claimed it from the forest and the savage, then from a tyrannical ruler? Who since then has built it and cemented it with their blood? Was it not the white man, your forefathers? And these men come here and sav their descendants shall not rule. Who built this city and made it that which you behold to-day? The white man, but they rise up here and declare by their meddlesome interference that the white man cannot rule it. 1 will not call their names. (Applause.) I will not even call them men. (Re newed applause.) They are midnight conspirators, black allies of the negro, seeking to control the election that they may perpetuate negro rule. Will they succeed? (Voices: "No! No! We'll show them!") "And how do they propose to rule? By a union of 125,000 negroes and 30,000 white men. And how would they rule? Not by force, but by cun ning, by fraud, if possible; if not, then, by corruption. "Did your forefathers follow Wash ington and La Fayette for this? Did you and I, my old soldier friend, fol low Lee and Jackson for this? (Voices: "No, and we'll not have it!") "You are right, and I thank God that August 2nd will end it." (Great applause.) Senator Ransom then gave the rea sons why the negro was unfit to rule, telling of his mental inferiority to the white race, showing his degraded moral condition and his physical ina bility to progress when left alone. Then he reviewed Radical rule in North Carolina, comparing it with the conduct of public affairs under the Democrats. Coming to the question of the Con stitutionality of the amendment, he said: "They say its unconstitutional, but they don't believe it. If they did they would not be arresting registrars to prevent its adoption." Touching the XVth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, he said: "There never was a more cruel wrong committed against a peo ple. It was a war measure put upon us and it can no more live than can the foulest abortion survive through life. It is doomed. It is gone already in Louisiana, in Arkansas, in Missis sippi, in Alabama, in South Carolina; iu sixty days it will be gone in Vir ginia and on August 2nd it will end in North Carolina." Senator Ransom declared that the amendment would not be declared unconstitutional and gave among his reasons the following "The North- ern people are with us on the negro question. They have learned a lesson or two recently; there is a hundred millions of Northern capital invested in the South. Do you suppose they are willing to leave it in the hands of negroes? They want it entrusted to white people. No matter where men live the time has come when they will and together when it comes to a question of the white race against the black i-ace. "When Worth Baglev poured out his blood in the Spanish war for the flag, when Shipp died lighting in the jungles of Santiago, when Lemley was shot down on Chinese soil, I tell you all sectional feelings died. We are one again and neither the bloodv shirt nor the negro question can divide us. The amendment is Con stitutional and will stand and its op ponents know it. Fixing the Blame Were it Belongs. (Gieenville Reflector.) Marion Butler has been making a great flourish in the Caucasian and accusing the white men, Democrats, of the second Congressional district of being the cause of the negro. White, getting elected to Congress. Mr. W. E. Fountain, of Tarboro, was the Pop ulist chairman of the district at that time and seeing Butler's recent flag rant falsehoods he would not let them pass uncorrected. In Sunday's Ral eigh Post Mr. Fountain had a long let ter showing the whole state of the situation in his district two years ago, and he puts the blame for the ! negro being in Congress right where i it belongs, on Marion Butler, and his tool, Lloyd. It matters not how many lies Butler gets caught in he goes right on telling them. The strange part of it is there are yet while men in North Carolina who are so weak they are led bv him.

The Bride a Mem ber of a Distinguished Virginia Fam ilyMr. Williams Holds a Respon sible Position In the Seaboard Air Line Service. Portsmouth, Vs., July 17. At 6 o'clock this afternoon, at Trinity church. Miss Willie Herbert Ashton, of Portsmouth, Va., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Whitcomb Ashton, was married to Mr. Charles Turner Williams, of the Seaboard Air Lino Railway. The ceremony was per formed by Rev. Arthur Conover Thompson, rector of the parish. Long before the hour named the church was crowded to the doors with friends of the bride and groom. not only friends from Portsmouth and Norfolk, but from many places in and outside of the State, also. The floral decorations were dainty and artistic, and the arrival of the wedding party was prompt. The wedding march of Mendelssohn was rendered with tine skill and feeling by Prof. George W. Scott. The bride, on the arm of her father, was met at the altar by the groom, accompanied by his best man. Dr. Pierce M. Butler, of Atlanta. The maid of honor was Miss Clara M. Ashton, cousin of the bride. Grouped about these were the ush ers, Mr. John Ashton, brother of the bride; Francis H. Weston, Esq., of Columbia, S. C; Mr. V. E. McBee. Jr., of Hamlet; Messrs. James F. Wright and Edward Dashiell, of Portsmouth; Messrs. D. H. Bacot and W. E. Chris tian, of the Seaboard Air Line. The bride wore a very stylish trav eling costume of blue material, trim med with lace, and hat to match. She caried bride's roses. Miss Bettie Ashton, sister of the bride, was es corted to the altar, as bride's maid, by Mr. Francis 11. Weston. Both she and the maid of honor. Miss Clara Ashton, were costumed in white or gandies with pure white roses. The groom wore a simple cutaway suit with a rose in lapel, while the ushers wore white carnations, all in full dress. Among the conspicuous visitors were Mr. T. C. Williams, Henderson, N. C, father of the groom; Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Williams, of Norfolk, brother and sister-in-law of the groom ; Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Williams, of Dur ham, N. C, brother and sister-in-law of the groom; Miss E. R. Williams, of Henderson, N. C, aunt of the groom, and Mrs. K. H. Powell, of Henderson, N. C, sister of the groom. Miss Ashton is a young woman of 17 summers, and is as pleasing in her personality as she is beautiful and at tractive in person. She is the youngest child of an old and distinguished family of both Portsmouth and Vir ginia, and the congratulations to Mrs. Williams have been equalled only by the regret of all that she will imme diately make her home away from Portsmouth. Mr. Williams is well known in North Carolina, where he was born, in Warren ton, 26 years ago. He is the son of a gallant Confederate sol dier, whose integrity and strength of character have been worthily emu lated by his son. His start was from small beginnings. He is a self-made man. His advances have been de pendent, one might say, upon his merit alone. He has been.in the rail road service for nine years, having first served with the Southern Rail way with Capt. V. E. McBee. who is now general superintendent of the Seaboard Air Line, and having come with Capt. McBee when he assumed his present position in the Seaboard Air Line. lie has been consecutively file clerk in the office of the division superintendent of the Richmond iv.

In rebrnarv, iWh, lie was ap pointed chief clerk to the miperin-j tendent of the Seaboard Air Line, and a few weeks ago he received the very flattering promotion to a-sii'taiit su perintendent of the tilth division of the Seaboard Air Line Railway with increased salary and responsibilities, and with headquarters nt Jackson ville. He will report immediately to Capt. D. E. Maxwell, sujierintemient ' of that division. The position he as- j sumes will be one to call forth his ; t ,.:. .:i; ! ltcsi energy aim cajiciuuii: aii'i ,11.1111- ty, and his friends, both high otlicia's here and otherwise, have no doubt that he will earn still greater honor 1 for himself. There are manv in rail-' ar I road circles who do not hesitate to tay ' for his age Mr. Williams in not ex-' celled in railroad service asanoper-: ating man. He has the utmost conli-! dence of his sujierior oflicials. and during moments of great tet, within the last eighteen months, he has so j measured up to the requirements at' to win for himself, unsolicited. hi present promotion. The congratulations of the numbers of friends of both his lovely bride and himself will go with them both to their new home. Immediately on conclusion of the ceremony the bride and groom left by the Old "Dominion steamer for a two j weeks' honeymoon in New York and j Canada.
