It Is generally . t.n.it Senator lianna could r: ;r-ti m " the entire routhern sup f,.r ,fiui! htr enter the contest for the j-! i-r.ri I nomination, but those who t-ow hini l no idea that he will could 111 afford to do In order to. take a haphazard chance In the south. The Star this afternoon said: -"All the prestige that was fostered as a result of Mr. Roosevelt's southern maternal ancestry Is now being severe ly tested. To the average southerner his plan for building tip a strong Re publican organization In the south means only negro supremacy.' The Idea that there are principles embodied In ihe Republican platform that are re garded as Yl tally Important to many business Interests and of consequence to the entire .country Is one that they do not consider in relation to this ques tion. It is now regarded as very cer tain by many southern Democrats that the 'lily whites will from now on lay their plans for the defeat of Mr. Roose velt unless something happens to con vince them that he has experienced a change of. heart on this subject, and that is what they do not expect. "President Roosevelt has always been a strong friend of the colored man. and there was no reason for thinking that he would give his en dorsement to the Lly White movement In the South, had one stopped for a moment to glance at his record.

If the president should rake a break that would put him out of mr.ir.ff then he would likely step t tti front.

Ed m anas were contesting with Blaine for the Presidential nomination. The Blaine forces presented Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, for presiding officer. h!!e Arthur and Edmunds offered a colored man In the person of J. It. Lynch, of Mississippi. As between Clayton and Lynch the President championed ihe colored man's csuse In n strong speech on the floor of the convention. It is significant that nota Mr. Roose velt and his great political frienJ, Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, made speeches placing Lynch In nom ination for presiding officer f .'hat convention." ".- .Senator Pritchard left for North Carolina 'to-day and will be. in attend ance at Fcffefir Court In ' Charlotte" next week. Despite the fact that Sen ator Trtlar Fjvpnt thf-week byte he has not ben Accessible t t.ezt paper men. At the Ebbltt it was stated that he did not wish to see them. It has been suggested - that t!ii .Senator will stand by his Lily White movement. In fact, he said In private conver sation last Tuesday that lie wmiM. as has already been" stated In this 'vr- respondence. - The surprl3e has been that Senator Pritchard did not assert himself after the President save out his statement through Postmaster General Payne repudiating .h L'.ly White movement. It was most remark able treatment of a Un.tid o'atcfi Senator by the President of the same political party. It is the general opinion among Re publicans that the President has not only acted in bad faith towards Sen ator Pritchard, but that hs hoa taken foolish advice on a ubje:t 'arxut which he knew nothing. So much for a man of the President's pretensions and professed ideals for taklcjr ip with a character of the strips of Jclm S. Clarkson, whom no one has ver de nounced more severely than .id th President on several occasions. It is - charged that several of Col lector Duncan's deputies threatened to use physical force on colore i dele gates at Greensboro. if they Cll not leave the hall In which the Rep at li can State Convention met, and tnis Is to be used against the collector-by colored Influence, which will seek to bring about bis removal alorwr with that of District Attorney Harry Skin ner. As yet no developments have come to light in the fight which is to be made. It is to be Imagined that the indignation of the President and Postmaster General Payne would be wrought .to a high pitch If it is shown to them that colored delegates re'e threatened with force for seekl.i; to attend a Republican convention. Two of the revenue deputies who. it is claimed, threatened colored delegates with bodily harm.-are John BroadnaX and O. A. Starbuck. The president has again demonstra ted his friendliness to the colored race and the fact that he Is going to recog nize, as he terms it, "meritorious col ored citizens," despite what the south may say or think. John S. Durham (colored) of Pennsylvania, former min ister to Hayti, has been tendered the, appointment as assistant 'attorney to aid in the defense of claims against the government before the Spanish claims commission court. Durham speaks Spanish and the appointment is an important one. Against the appointment of Dr.' W. D. drum, a negro, as collector of cus toms at Charleston. S. C, President Roosevelt has received protests from Mayor Smyth and other leading citi zens of Charleston. However, as the protests are only against the color of his skin, it is believed the appoint ment will be made. Congressman T. F. Kluttz arrived in Washington today and he was congrat ulated by his many friends upon his election to congress. Mr. Kluttz is not only one "of- the most popular members of the North Carolina delega tion, but one of the strongest members on the Democratic -side of the house. Among other things Mr. Kluttz called at 'the "post ffc department' and -se- . cured the promise that a rural " free delivery inspector would be sent to his district on the 24th. . There are a large number of applications for the estab lishment of rural free delivery routes in his district. Mr. Chas. A. Webb of Buncombe, who was elected to the- state senater by a handsome majoroity, was In Washington today on private business. Mr. Webb is a strong supporter of Locke Craig for senator. "We are go ing to make a strong fight in Mr. Craig's behalf." he said today. "The western counties will be solid for hlirt and Mr. Craig has a .urances of strong support In the east." Speaking of the president's throw down of Senator Pritchard, Mr. Webb said the western Republicans were harshly criticising Mr. Roosevelt, Other arrivals today: J. A. Holmes of Chapell Hill. J. D.

' The" Indorsement came after the delegation had offered Its unanimous support to . Congress man J. W. Babcock and he declined.

The man who fired the shots is an Italian. He stood in front of the Eank of Brussels on the Rue Royale. The other cartridges in his revolver proved to be blank.

Special. An or ganization known as the North Caro lina Society was effected In this city today with a large membership com posed entirely of former residents of the Tar Heel state. Commander Edwin H. Oeer of the Maryland naval re serves was chairman of the meeting which was. held In the rooms of the Athaneum Club, one of the most fash ionable clubs in this city. While all those who were enrolled as members today are resident of this - city the opportunity of joining the society is extended to any former North. Car olinian who now resides In the state of Maryland. After effecting a temporary organi zation the following committees were appointed by Commander Geer to form a constitution and set of by-laws- and to enlist additional members: Com mittee on constitution and by-law--John C.

As usual, the committee on ' credentials had the floor when the convention of the American Federation of Labor opened this morn ing. The auditing committee made the following report of the financial condi tion of the organization. Balance on hand, at the opening of the last flscale year, $3,814; ordinary receipts, $144,453; total cash received during the year $153,312; expenditures, $119,186; balance on hand $34,226. The president announced that, in as much as many delegates were unable to prepare their resolutions ln time for presentation yesterday they would be allowed to submit them today. The most important submitted today were as follows: That the good offices of the incom ing executive council be asked to se cure the enactment of national laws for disabled working people and to provide a system of national insurance for their assistance during enforced Idleness. That the American Federation of La bor appeal to congress to submit to the legislatures of the several states a proposition for an amendment to the general constitution which shall prohlbt .money fines in court and "pt the . administration of justice to rich, and poor upon the same footing."" That the time is ripe for the organ ization Into union bodies of the school teachers in all sections of the coun try. That $1,000 be appropriated by the Federation to further legislative work for the Improvement of labor condi tions in North Carolina, South Caro lina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Mississippi. . That the Federation condemn the re cent utterances of President Elliott of Harvard College, in which he charac- ; terized "scab" workers as "heroes." That no recognition be extended by the Federation to any laboring man holding a political office. and when the final whistle blew and the. score stood, 12. to 5 against Prince ton, the followers of Nassau went away sad, but satisfied with the belief that their representatives had not been dis graced. Yale's tremendous strength In the rush . line, a remarkable fleetness of foot oh the part of the backs, me chanical team -play coupled with elec trical snap and dash and a physical condition produced by Trainer Mike Murphy that was well up to the us ual standard, served to carry the day for the blue. All of the scoring was done in the first half. Nine minutes after the first kick off DeWltt, Princeton's : giant guard, kicked a magnificent goal from the field , from the 48-yard line ; and aroused, great ; enthusTasm, which was cut short ; several ' minutes later when Chadwiek, the Yale captain, : ; was thrown through an immense hole in Princeton's line and ran fifty yards down . the- field for a touch down." - As . Bowman kicked the goaf the score was i 6 to 5, which. was. increased toward the latter part of the half Jby a "similar play by Chadwiek, who av' this' time made a magnificent sprint of 60 yards and placed the ball behind the goal post. Another goal by Bowman ended the scoring of the day. ' . tier J Rnb for Harvard !"' Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 15. Dart mouth gave Harvard the hardest rub that it has had on, the gridiron today on Soldiers' field, and the New Hamp shire team played the best game of any visiting team . this fall. The score at the end of the game was 16 to 6, but that did not at all represent the close ness of the contest. At the end of the first half Harvard had scored a touch down, but missed the goal. Then at the very beginning of the second half Dartmouth scored ,ln about five min utes of play and as . they kicked the goal had Harvard beaten 6 to 5. Thus the scorestood until the last five min utes of play when Harvard ran in two touch downs and kicked one of the goals. At the close of the game it was so dark that neither players nor spec tators could follow the ball, and time should really have been called on ac count of darkness before Harvard made the last touch down on two long runs. the bullet of which smashed the win dow of Compte D'Oultremont's car rlge and grazed the grand marshal's' . face. When rescued from the mob Rubino was placed in a cab and in furiated crowds of people immediately surrounded it and attacked the vehicle with knives and sticks. The. police had great diffiuclty in forcing a way to thefcolice station through the crowd, which shouted al ternately: "Kill him" and "Long live the king." The cab waa badly hacked with knives. . A search of the prisoner revealed a package of ball cartridges. It is reported that Rubino had been heard to express anarchistic opinions, and it was also said;that, he came to Brussels, from Ix)ndonJCpScessly to kill King Leopold, and went: to the cathe dral i today - for, this purpose, but re frained from shooting1 for fear of, kill, fng soldiers who stood, between him and hia majesty. Rubino is also' reported to have .said he was employed'in the Italian; secret service in London, and he came to Brussels a fortnight ago with the intention of assassinating King Leopold. The news of the outrage spread rap idly throughout the city and the great est excitement prevailed. The people thronged the streets, eagerly discuss--Ing the attempt on the life of the king,' and large crowds gathered in front ofi the bulletin boards." The newspapers'' Issued frequent editions and these wer '. eagerly bought. General abhorrence was expressed by the people at the ap parently deliberate attempt -to assassU nate the sovereign 1 King Leopold appeared to be; quite5 unmoved by the attempt of Rubino to ' kill him. After luncheon at the pal-' ace his majesty, entered a motor car1 and proceeded to the railroad station.) where be boarded a train bound for Groenendale. ' , ' The police believe that Rubino was aided by accomplices. Several well dressed men were observed pushing' children near Rubino aside Just before the passage of the carriages. This ' gives the impression that the affair was the outcome of an organized plot. Rubino was perfectly cool ' through-4 out the magistrate's examination. He said he came from London, where he had vainly sought work. He obtained a few pounds from one of the embas- bIob and was engaged to watch an archists in behalf of th Italian gov', ernment. It was discovered that he' was furnishing Information to the an-' ' archlsts Instead of to his employers and he was summarily dismissed.' Thereupon he purchased a revolver with the mony he had received from, the embassy and came to Brussels and again unsuccessfully sought work. He then resolved to strike o blow for the anarchist cause and went to the ca thedral for the purpose of shooting' King Leopold. Finding the troops' drawn up outside the church he left the building. ,, In reply to e question as . to why h fired "at the tldrd instead of the flint carriage Rubino said that owing to the fact that the procession waa start- ing at a trot as it reached him he had some difficulty In getting out his . revolver. Rubino said he had been in' Brussels since the end of October. 1I had frequented various places. In th hope of seeing tie king. He professed ," himself an anarchist. He said he did not regret his act and hoped some one. else would ; succeed ? better than he had. He would have fired at any king at the king, of Italy Just a well! aa at the king of Belgium. . Kings '' were tyrants and were the cause of all the misfortunes of the people. Rubino maintained resolutely that he had no accomplices. ' Count D'Oultrernont, the royal mar shal, in an interview said he was In the third carriage. Suddenly the win dow and the door flew into fragment and splinters hit him in the face.

Nov. 15. The ani lira cite strike commission held ' what might fairly be termed a lively tession In this city this afternoon. President Mitchell was still a witness under ex amination. The chances s?ara to te that he will be on the stand for the greater part of the comhig week. Counsel for the different coal corpora tions apparently intend to take him in hand in turn. Yesterday it was Mr. Wilcox, of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company: To-day it was Mr. Wilcox and for the balance of the time Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, formerly At torney General of the United States. It was during the examination of the witness by Mr. MacVeagh that Jine lively incidents developed. First there came Mr. Mitchell's rea son for advocating an eighthour day. Then there came a controversy be tween the miners' leader and Mr. MacVeagh as to who -was responsible for the additional burden in the in creased price of coal placed npon the poor. Later there was ineffectual at tempts to get Mr. Mitchell to amlt that a prosperous mining town was an indication of the prosperity or the min ers living there. . Then came Jlr.

As a rule he testified with readiness and apparent franmeas. During his examination by Mr. Wil cox, President Mitchell expressed bis objection to having children employed at the mines under any circumstances. He admitted, however, that ao far as he knew the United Mine Workers had never taken any steps to have the laws regarding the employment of children about mines modified. He would not advocate dispensing with boy labor altogether. He also tald that the "United Mine WorkerBare not opposed to the introduction of hia:h!n ery at the mines. Mr. MacVeagh questioned the wit- ness at length concerning remarks that he had made at times about wages that yielded the American standard of liv ing. He was asked what percentage of mine workers are of foreign birth and answered that he did not know. He was certain that all of them wanted to maintain the American Btandard of living. An Income of $600 a year would yield a fair standard of living, he thought. ; Mr. Mitchell was asked what was the earning power of the workmen who came here from foreign lands. He did not know nor did he know what was the average rate of wages paid in the United States to maintain the Ameri can standard of living. Mr. Mitchell ( Intimated that a business that could not pay living- wages to its employes ought to go out of existence. Mr. MacVeagh asked Mr. Mitchell how many hours a day the contract miners work. Mr. Mitchell's first re mark was that the miner generally worked as long as the, breaker did. He added hastily that he was not in pos session of sufficient data to answer the question fully. The eight hour day was not for contract men, Mr. Mitchell1 said. Turning to the eight hour day ques tion, Mr. MacVeagh asked Mr. Mitch ell if he did not know that not one of the members of the commission hear ing the case, not evening excepting the bishop and the learned Judge, would' have reached his present station had. he only worked eight hours a day. Mr. Mitchell answered that the circum stances of the commissioners were al together different. ' Taking up the question of the recog nition of the uwlon Mr. MacVeagh rend from documents and reports to show that in the bituminous coal field, where agreements are made with the miners as an organization, conditions have not improved, but that they have in fact grown worse. Mr. Mitchell questioned the accura ' cy of the reports. Grocer Kills Conductor Greenville, S. C. Nov. 15. -John Stevens, conductor on the Southern Railway, running hetween Grnvjj'ij and Spencer. N.
