A Patriotic Celebration That
Cost a Lot of Money
New York, .July 4. A fire which was
started by a blazing skyrocket in a
three-story extension In the heart of the
crowd was not large enouzh to make
the gate receipts worth fighting for.
Quigley then offered to fight any num
ber of rounds, but Dougherty refused
even when the sports volunteered to swell
the purse. The Quigley -men say that
Pougherty was not in good condition and
that he did not Tealize he was against

Everybody Celebrates and All
Have a Good Time
Wilmington, N". C, July 4. Special.
The fourth of July has been marked by
a general .exodus of people from , the
the beaches and SouthpoTt. .The ceielira-
tron of the day by Wilmingtonians has
probably, been the greatest on record.
All' pnblic buildings, wholesale stores.
offices and most of the retail places re
mained closed during the day and the
town seemed almost like Sundar. It-is
roughly estimated that between eight
and ten thousand people visited the dif
ferent places of" interest. .
A - tremendous crowa. nrobably two
thousand persons, - went down the river
to. Sonthport to join in the greatest
celebration ta the history of that town.
The procession wag formed in the morn
ing, and it. consisted of a brass band,
marshals, school children bearinjr flags'.
Junior Orfer of American Mechanics,
risitors andj citizens of Southport. "The
formal exercises Vereheld in Franklin
square. The oration of the day was de
livered by Dr. Calvin S. Blackwell. na-i
tor of the First Baptist church, Wil-;
mmgton. His subject was "Privileges
and p-ils of the republic." It was a l
masterly effort .-and was worthy of even
a greater occasion. He was heard by
fully three thousand people.
The feature of the afternoon was boat
racing, and the fireworks display tonight
was a grand finale for a great celebra
tion - bt our -. independence day.' At
Wrightsrille and Carolina beaches the
crowds were thick and all bubling over
with holiday spirit. '
The annual July regatta of the Caro
lina Yachr club at Wrightsrille was an
auspicious "affair.' Many yachts entered
the race and . the , white winged flyers
were watched by1 a multitude of people.
The. Sadie, sailed .by S. P. Cowan, .won
first prize; QnestIon,.R. A. Parvey. sec
ond; Mabel. Edwin A. Metts, third.
A grand ball.'at the Seashore hotel to-'
night' was. an appropriate end to the
day's festlral at Wilmington's most popu
lar Tesort. .' y
The Coast Lane carried a darge crowd
to Lake Waeeamaw for a day's outing.
All in all it was Wilmington's greatest
fourth" of July celebration, and there
was not an unfortunate happening to
mo r the overwhelming happiness of the
day.

Chicago, July 4. The Denver express,
known as the '"Big five" on, the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific, was held up
shortly v after 10:30 o'clock last night
about half a mile west of Duporit, nine
teen miles out from Chicago on the route
to Joliet. : ' i .
Express Messenger Kane was shot in
the groin and two of three robbers es
caped with a bag of jewelry. The- third
robber Charles 4 Lessor, was ' c-aptured
by tile train crew and was takefTtfo
the police station in Joliet. The train
was delayed two and one-half houre.
It wfl.s only the bravery of the train
crew that prevented the blowing up of
the safe; and the theft of thousands of
dollars which it contained. The crew
gave battle to the robbers and succeed
ed in driving them off after they had
secured the jewels. j
The train left Grand Central station
in Chicago at 10 o'clock. Three men
boarded the blind baggage at ! Engle
wood. Their plans were carefully laid.
The train had just whirled through the

attack the express Cars. As soon ai
the tram came to a stop they leaped to
tthe ground and made their way to the
platform of the car containing the valu
ables. Lessler then commanded Ufe "en
gineer to aid in breaking " open the car.
He hesitated but the threatening look
of the robber urged him to obey, ami
he went back to the car, the fireman
marching by his side' under the cover
of the two revolvers. -
"Tell the' messenger to open the door,"
whispered one of the robbers savagely
to the engineer.
Again menaced! by the weapons, th
ei gineer ehouted for Kane to open th
door. Kane recognized the voice and:
unlocked and opened the. door. Instant
ly the robbers covered him with their
weapons and threatened to blow tha
car up with dynamite". They Uegan

returned the fire. A bullet from one
of the robbers' weapons penetrated hi

Two of the men rushed inside, the car.

attack, appeared and began firing.- Hast

on behalf of all the people of the United

enmoeHv n if ntf separation between
those two great countries had occurred.!
He recalled the overwhelming sympaoy
which came from the king anH all nis
subjects wherever rhe British; flag flew
when President McKlnley was stricken
down. The voice which spoke more
constantly and feelingly during that
week of distress and .anxiety than any

Manila, July. 4. A storm of enthusi
asm entered Manila today- and swept
through the archipelago over the pro
clamation of President Roosevelt au-l
amnesty by him. It was the grandest
demonstration since the occupation of
the country by the Americans and wns
the first complete .public! recognition of
general peace. The Filipinos celebrated
the day. with supreme satisfaction and
rejoiced over the -amnesty and general
forgiveness - for past offenses. Manila
itself res-ponded to the invitation of the
munipical -boards- and -decorated the city
for- miles -with bunting and: American
flags, plentifully interspersed with those
of other, nations. The whole made a
grand cosmopolitan display. There was
a -parade of 3,000 troops, many civic so
cieties, members of the federal party
and the workingnii' union. . The last
named halted at the grand Stand and
gave three cheers for acting Governor
Wright and General Chaffee, who re-
viewed the parade. '
General Chaffee ' will formally notify
Aguinaldo tomorrow that the guard at
(present about him will be withdrawn .
It is probable that the ex-dictator will
remain here for a fortnight until he has
decided upon a new home.
Crowds of Filipinos thronged " tho
streets of Manila this afternoon. -They
were curious as to what had happened.
but made no demonstration. The Fil
ipinos who were deported to Guam will .
not know of the amnesty proclamation
until a transport stops there on the way
from San .Francisco.

London, July 4. A scene more bril
liant than anything ever offered imperial
guests and more gorgeous than anything
ever before attempted in London was
preserved at the India office, Whitehall,
tonight when the Prince of Wales, in
the ntime of the king and emperor of
India, received the homage of the rul
ing chiefs of India. The entire inner
quadrangle of the ffreat building had
been transformed. Its- rough pavement
was covered with a wood en flooring that
was carpeted in crimson. Overhead
-n ctntYlid a magnificent: star span-
gled sheet of silk. Around the four sides
the stone ledges were hidden under
banks of flowers and-waving palms. At
one end was the royal dais, with a crim
son canopy surmounted by crowns at
each of its'f our corners.
The arrangement of the etans on nie
silken sky was astronomically correct,
ther being placed as they appear iu
the eastern liearens. By a cunning ar
rangement of lights this artificial firma
ment resembled the sot t, pale sky. ?r

Senator Gliauneey M. Depew and Mr.
John IC. Gowdy, the American consul
general. Mr. Kimbel,: speaking with
equal facility in English and brencn,
captirated his audience -with his well
chosen subjects and phrases.
M. Trouillot spoke flattennglyj of the
American nation. He referred,! to the
efforts Franceie making to appear suita
bly at the St. Loute' exposition and re
'ferred to Mr. 'Mclvinley's friendship for
France, and the assistance given by the
United States to the Martinique: suffer
ers. He expressed the hope that the
new commercial ; cellege would prove
useful in teaching American practica
bility to the French and than the French
students would learn American ways.
Suddenly turning to Mr. Kimbel, Ml
