RECEPTION TO
MIL ROOSEVELT.
President U Accorded am Ova-
Hon at San Juan, Where
Rough Sea Delay Hun.
San Juan, P. R., Nov. 22.
President Roosevelt was accord- J
ea an ovation surpassing any
thing ever seen here at the re
ception today at the governor's
mansion.
Mr. Roosevelt's return will be
delayed some. The roughness of
the sea makes it impossible for
him board the Louisiana and he
will return to Ponce to embark
and this will give him an oppor
tunity to see more of the island
than otherwise.

' : A Red Shirt Reminder.
' Fayetteville, Nov. 21. Mr. M.
ArSmith, of Wakulla, had a bul
let with a history extracted from
his arm at St Luke's hospital
yesterday. In 1898 Mr. Smith
was a prominent member of the
famous Robeson County ; Red
Shirts.
By his conspicious ser-
vice while a member of this or-
ganization, he created the enmity ..
of the worse element of negroes,
and on September 18, 1898, he
; was waylaid and shot by a negro
named Ben Williams. The bullet
entered his left arm, and has re- :
mained there
ever, since until,
yesterday.

German Liner Badly Damaged
While Some of Her Steerage
Paaaengers Were Killed.
Cherburg, Nov. 22-The liner
Kaiser Wilhelm der Gross came
into port today following a col
lision with the royal mail steamer
Orionco. The Kaiser is badly
damaged and her passengers are
to be forwarded Saturday.
Twelve passengers are said to
have been killed on the Kaiser
but officers deny this, saying that
four steerage passengers were
killed and eight injured. The
Orinoco is expected to continue
the voyage to the Antilles.
Immigranta Quit in Body.
Columbia, S. C, Nov. 21.-
Some 60 of the immigrants who
came over on the Wittekind and
went to work in the Anderson
Cotton Mills, have quit in a body,
and are walking about the streets
of Anderson talking to each other
and getting themselves more dis
satisfied. Some of the foreigners
are complaining that they were
deceived into believing that they
would get more money than they
are getting, and the Rev. Father
Gwynn, who has been among
them talking with an interpreter,
says there is some ground for
this complaint, though others
who have talked direct and ex
amined the circulars on which
they were induced to leave their
happy homes in Europe, say there
is nothing deceptive about the
circulars, that professional agita
tors among the crowd are trying
to dissatisfy people who are sat
isfied and disposed to work. The
mill authorities say the foreigners
are being "paid exactly the same
as the local help, and that this
is all that will be paJdthat the
experienced help is getting what
experienced help in this country
gets, but that green hands must
be content to work as local green
hands work. It is said most of
the newcomers want to go back
to work, that they quit out of
sympathy for those who were
dissatisfied, and it is believed
that many of them will go back
to work. Some will leave and
others the mill authorities will
compel to seek work elswhere.
Cubans May Hold Meeting.
Havana, Nov. 21 On the re
commendation of the chief sur

the surgeon in charge of Camp
Columbia has issued an order,
that has been approved by Gov
ernor Mongoon and General Bell,
that no more license be granted
for the sale of intoxicating liquors

It is suggested that a national
convention be held to decide
whether the nominations made
last year shall hold or whether a
new convention be called to make
new nominations. . Some of the
supporters of Jose Miguel say
that they will respect whatever
decision the convention arrives
at. In the event of the party
finaliy dividing, it iB claimed that

There ia no rest for the wicked
of
Wilmington, Dead.
Wilmington, Nov. 21. Judge
Oliver Pendleton Meares, one of
Wilmington's foremost and most
distinguished citizens, passed
away at his home in this city this
afternoon, surrounded by all the
members of his family. Judge
Mears had been a great sufferer
from heart trouble for some time
and for the past six months had
been practically an invalid. The
end came not unexpectedly, for
during the past two days his life
had been hanging, as it were, in
the balance, and the summons
was awaited at any moment.
Judge Meares belonged to the
best type of old Southern gentle
men, courtly in his bearings, of
fine intellect positive, yet differ
ential in his opinions; a man of
the higest sense of honor. His
presence in the community will
be missed.
Judge Meares was born in this
city February 24, 1828, and was,
therefore, in the 79th year of his
age. He was the sixth son of
William B. Meares and Catherine
G. Davis, his father being dis
tinguished in his day as an advo
cate at the bar, planter and
statesman. He received his early
education at , Bingham's school
and at Caldwell institute, gradu
ating from the University of his
state in the class of 1848, at the
age of 20 years. He began the
study of law, under Judge Battle,
at the University law school and
remained under that instruction
for one yearr. In 1850 he was
licensed to practice his profession
in the courts of the state and the
United States, entering upon a
brilliant career, which was inter
rupted only by the call to arms
in 1861.

Pugilist Held for Murder
Grand Rapids, Mich., Nov. 21
The coroner's jury which inves
tigated the death of Mike Ward
last Friday returned a verdict to
day finding that Ward came to j
his death "through a fall as the
result of a blow struck by Harry
Lewis (Besterman) while en
gaged in a prize fight."
The verdict says that blame
should be laid upon the promoters
and abettors of the fight as fully
as upon the principals themselves.
After the return of the verdict
a warrant was issued for the ar
rest of Lewis, who has been in
custody since the fight, charging
him with wilful murder.
Frank Lynch, of this city, who
promoted the boxing match be
tween Mike Ward and Harry
Lewis, was arrested to-day on a
warrant charging him with mak
ing an agreement to promote a
prize fight. He was held und r
$1,000 bond.
