Swrncoi j FLEET II SYDNEY . American Warships Grseted by: New South Wales Popuiacs. j l ! GUNS ROAR AND FLAGS FLY; I I Shores of the Australian H:irbor Lined With Great Multitudes or Enthusiastic I'eople ? Salutes j From Forts and Ships. I , Sydney, Xew South Wales.?A thin j veil of smoke on the horizon signalled j to the watchers on the coast the ap- I proach of the American warships, and j at 5.35 a. m. official notification was i sent out that the fleet had been sighted. It was yet twenty miles out- j side of Sydney Harbor, but this word, ] which had been awaited eagerly by tens of thousands, stirred Australians . ( ! j like a call to arms, and almost in- j stantly those who had not already i , left the city to take up positions or ; vantage along the bays, were moving in droves to line the quays, the roof tops, and other places on the harbor front to watch the coming of the guardships of the New World. The day broke bright and clear. So intense was the interest in the American ships of war that half the populace had remained awake the entire ' night and thousands upon thousands of them long before the night was over were on their way .to the hill tops outside the city limits, where they massed seemingly in unbroken lines along .the coast from Bond? Eeach to Manly. It is estimated that hardly less than half a million people assembled to give the visitors a royal welcome. Sydney Harbor, with its innumerable bays, coves and branches, nevei looked more beautiful, nor did the American sanors ever witness a. muic insoiring sight than that which met their eyes as the white ships came through the channel past the great headlands into Port Jackson. A hundred thousand people, the greatest single assemblage or all, gathered on .the south head, where a magnificent view of the whole scene was to be had. Hundreds of craft of all kinds moved up and down even at that early hour, all the waters, with the exception of the fairway and the anchorage, being dotted with little and big vessels decorated in every conceivable manner with flags and bunting. In perfect alignment, the flagship Connecticut leading, with Rear-Admiral Sperry on the bridge, the warships came out of the horizon. Passing in through the Sydney Heads in double column at intervals of 400 yards, the ships looked to have a world of speed and power under their glistening sides. The fleet was attended by convoy steamers and was i preeied with a roar of salutes from j the forts as it steamed slowly along. The thousands ashore and afloat 1 1 added their cheers to swell the noisy j 1 welcome, and countless British and 1 1 American flags were flung to the i i breeze and still were waving long | 1 after the anchors had been swung j * ' from the sides. i The American shins boomed forth | r a salute to the port, and as soon as ; 1 they were safely moored at theii I c anchorage official visits were ex- i r'nonpuH r | g DR. J. D. PHELPS DIES A SUICIDE, j Financial Secretary of Syracuse Shoots \ Himself in Utica, X. Y. Utica, N. Y.?The Rev. Dr. James Duane Phelps, of Syracuse, financial secretary of Syracuse University, committed suicide in his room at the \Vnvz Hotel by shooting. A revolvei and cartridges which he carried tc the hotel with him and a note written on the paper in which the weapon had been wrapped gave conclusive evidence that Dr. Phelps' act was deliberate. The cartridge box was full save foi the six necessary to fill the chambers of the revolver. On the piece of green wrapping paper which had enclosed the revolver and the cartridges wnen ne Drought inern mio me noiej j was written in a firm hand in four ; lines this message: "My name is J. D. Phelps, of Syra- : I cuse. I have done this because I did j r not dare to live. Still. I believe ' $ Christ died for the uttermost man." f The Coroner took charge of the re- j i volver, the box: of cartridges, some ; s papers in the dead man's pockets, a i gold watch and a card case contain- j e ing three $10 bills and two SI bills g and a number of visiting cards. I NOVEL ATTACK OX PROHIBITION j Alleged That Georgia Statute Prevents Use of Wine at Communion. j Atlanta, Ga.?Alleging that the j prohibition law of Georgia is uncon- i stitutional because it prevents the ! public from worshiping according to the dictates of its conscience, the I Christian Moerlein Brewing Com- j pany, of Cincinnati, has filed a bill j in the United Sfates Court asking | that the law be declared null and j void. It is alleged that the prohibition law restricts public worship in that under the law it is a crime to purchase wine in Georgia for Holy C?m- i uiumuu use. > . C Attacks Public Gambling.

NEGRO mm ATTACKED Miners and Mountaineers Unite to Frighten Rivais Away. Result of Attempt to Work Negroes ; With Whites at Kings Mountain Coal Mine. Tennessee. I j Kuoxville, Tenn.?Negroes are be- j ing driv?n out of two mining districts j noar Jeliico by an urmed band of | white miners and mountaineers. ' Three hundred negro men, women ! and children have fled in terror into j Jellico and other towns. A band of i seventy-one negroes took refuge in a j company house in Antras, several j miles from Jellico, and, armed to | the teeth, bid defiance to miners and mountaineers, estimated at from 200 ; to 4 00 in number, who surrounded | the Dlace and threatened to kill snri I burn them and the entire camp. The band of whites, heavily armed, quietly collected all the negroes at the Kings Mountain Mine, near the Tennessee line, and drove them like sheep all day in the direction of Jellico. The negroes traveled eighteen miles. At night the whites permitted the women and children to camp and Eat what they could collect, but forced the men to move on. All day aegroes fled into Jellico and other towns, but sixty negroes at the Antras mine refused to leave, and eleven negro men from Kings Mountain joined them. When the white men reached A.ntras they ordered all the negroes ! to flee the country. Women and children and many j nen, 300 in all, fled, but seventy-one ! negroes, armed with weapons pro- j ^ided by the general manager of the j nine and Deputy Sheriff Gross, re- | 'used to go. Sheriff Huddleston, of , Campbell County, was found in a re- > note part of the county. He did not : each the snot until nieht. He found 1 ;he terrified negroes huddled in the j :ompany house, armed, but afraid to 1 3re first on the mountaineers. Cour- f ers went out in every direction for J Dossemen, and fifteen deputies and j wice as many civilians hurried to he place to aid in the protection of he. negroes. General Manager Gorman was ivarned that if the negroes did not eave he and all of them would be j cilled. [ Civil authorities do not believe hey can handle the situation, for vhite men are slow in responding to :he summons of the Sheriff. The rouble started over an attempt to vork negro miners with whites in he two mines. The negroes had been 1 n the mines almost a month, but the vhite miners were hostile, and news )f the race war in Springfield reached hat section and kindled the smolderng fire.

Jenkins Hains Holds Onlookers Off nt Bayside Yacht Club While j General's Son Does Shooting. New York City.?His wife's warn* fng scream still echoing, William E. - A-nnis, of Recreation and the Burr Mct tntosh Monthly, whom Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., U. S. A., Jr., blamed for - the wrecking of the Hains home, was shot nine .times by that Army officer a In a yacht beside the float of th* Bay " Bide Yacht Club, in Little Neck Bay, I 1 Flushing, and he died three hours later in Flushing Hospital. While Captain Halns was doing the Bhooting, his brother, Thornton J. s Halns, of No. 140 Eighty-sixth , street, Bay Ridge, held off a crowd of r yachtsmen with a pistol, telling them the tragedy was a family affair, and that if any of them attempted to interfere he would shoot him. Mrs. , Annis' shrieks for mercy were ig. Qored by Captain Halns, who is a son d? Brigadier-General Peter C. Halns, ' U. S. A., retired, until Annis was shot * in the right arm, once in each leg and 1 six times in the abdomen. The slayer 3 used a magazine revolver of forty-five calibre, containing fifteen shots, built 5 to fire continuously from the moment : the trigger was touched until another finger movement locked the hammer. So rapid was the fire that the nine I shots to unaccustomed ears sounded * almost ;ike one. Hains shot Annis from a military 5 kneeling position, with his weapon , thrust under the bowed arm of Lewis Harway, whom the victim used as a \ shield. Harway attempted to shelter [ A.nnis from the rain of shots, but the ;aptain's Army training had given r him quickness in handling firearms , that enabled him to circumvent both ' men. Annis, after receiving the ninth shot, toppled out of Harway's yacht, j ' the Pam, into the water, whereupon Captain Hains ceased firing. When * club members rescued the wounded ' and drowning man from the bay the I Hains brothers tossed their revolvers | on .the float and sat down to await ; the police. Capt. Hains, calm and self-posJ aessed, told Capt. Ruthenberg, of the 1 Flushing police, after giving himself up, that he had committed the mur' der because Annis had broken up his home.

DECLARES PEOPLE DO RULE Republican Candidate For the Vice* Presidency Replies to Bryan in ITis Speech of Acceptance?Burrows Speaks Along Same Line. Utica, N. Y.?The last formal ccrcmony attending the official launching of the Republican national ticket of 1908 was held here, when James Schoolcraft Sherman accepted the nomination of his party for the VicePresidency. In doing so he subscribed heartily to the declaration of principles adopted at the Chicago convention in June, to the every utterance of Secretary Taft in his Cincinnati speech, and to the policies of *D nif a1 4- ? O K rvi?m o n x lvuuoc v cu. gucimau asserted that the approval of the Roosevelt Administration was the real issue of the campaign. The Bryan question: "Shall the people rule?" was no issue at all. "Surely the people shall rule," he said; "surely they have ruled; surely they do rule. Shame, on the candidate who insults the American people by suggestion or declaration that a majority of its electorate is venal." Mr. Sherman's speech was brief and he did not attempt to discuss in detail any of the questions touched upon by Secretary Taft, saying he could not hope to persuade any one not' convinced by the Presidential candidate's presentation of the platforms and the issues. He did enter into a brief discussion of the tariff and his declaration, "I am a protectionist," brought a response from his hearers. The candidate went on to explain that he thought the time had AitwIirA^ fnr n aP fVia f oriff cx i i i?cu iui a ic'ioiuu \j l. tuv tunu from the protectionist point of view. Mr. Sherman praised the record of the Republican party and in contrasting it with the Democratic organization referred to the latter as "an aggregation of experimental malcontents and theorists, whose only claim to a history Is a party name they pilfered." Senator Julius Burrows, of M4chlgan, chairman of the Notification Committee, whose members gathered here from the various States of the Union, made tender of the nomination. In his speech he, too, resented what he declared was a thinly veiled accusation by Mr. Bryan that a Republican Administration did not represent the rule of the people. Secretary of State Root, speaking as a neighbor and lifelong friend of the candidate, paid glowing tribute to Mr. Sherman, politics having no place in his brief but eloquent address. President M. W. Stryker, of Hamilton College, from which Mr. Sherman was graduated, also paid a personal tribute to the candidate, and there were addresses of welcome to the visiting committeemen and sightseers from Mayor Thomas Wheeler and Chairman Charles S. Symonds, of the local Reception Committee. At the close of the ceremonies a magnificent gold-lined silver loving cup, a gift from his colleagues in the national House of Representatives, was presented to Mr. Sherman. The cup stands nearly eighteen inches high and is mounted on a base of ebony. The inscription reads: "Presented to James S. Sherman, M. C., by his associates, August 18, 1908." The brief speech of presentation was made by Representative Sereno Payne, of New York. Mr. Sherman also received a telegram of feliditation from Mr. Taft and the Mayor of Utica received a congratulatory message from the Mayor of Cincinnati. The following are some of the points made by Mr. Sherman in his acceptance speech: The overshadowing issue of the i rrn nool lv Ic Shall tVlO A H 1T11 n 1* <? V.aiu iuuu; tration of President Roosevelt be approved; shall a party of demonstrated capacity in administrative affairs be continued in power; shall the reins of government be placed in inexperienced hands, or do the people prefer to trust their destinies to an aggregation of experimental malcontents and theorists whose only claim to a history is a party name they pilfered? First, then, let me say that I am a protectionist. The Republican party * * believes in granting labor's every request that does not seek to accord rights to one man denied to another. As a nation our duty compels that by every constitutional and reasonable means the material and educational conditions of the colored race be advanced. To foster class hatred, to foster discontent, is un-Republican and unAmerican. Surely the people shall rule: sure*? - 1 - ^~ -"1A/? oiiralr ly tne psuyit? uuvc 1 uicu, people do rule. No party rules.

HIS ADDRESS OF ACCEPTANCE At Music Hall, in Chicago, in tho Presence of a Large Audience, Eugene VV. Chann, of Chicago, Acccpted Prohibition Nomination Chicago.?At Music Hall, in the presence of a large and enthusiastic audience, Eugene W. Chafin, of Chicago, accepted the nomination for the Presidency by the Prohibition party. The notification address was made by Professor Charle3 Scanlon, of Pittsburg. In hiu speech of acceptance Mr. Chafln said in part: "We are now approaching the close of another fifty years, where two dominant political parties, Republican and Democratic, have allied themselves with the most gigantic crime that ever cursed the world and by their attitude made known to the American people that they do not propose to permit them to have a chance, even though the majority may favor it, to destroy the liquor traffic and add another amendment to the Constitution which would mark the highest achevement of civilization in the world's history. "The lofty ideals of twentieth century statesmanship call for a United States Senate born of an intelligent people's conscience instead of mocking statues surmounting the pedestals of concentrated wealth; the equalization of public burdens by a system ; that will compel the rich to pay their proper proportion of the costs of government. A graduated income and inheritance tax will be a long step in this direction. "The development of the trusts has changed entirely all the old theories of a protective tariff and free trade, and the people demand legislation in t'heir interest on .this important matter, which can best be worked out by a permanent tariff commission. Ours is the only party that strikes a blow at the social evil, so closely allied to the liquor traffic, and proposes the only practical method of stamping out polygamy throughout the nation by a uniform marriaze and divorce law. "While not a line of history will be changed by .the election of a Republican or Democrat, the triumph of the Prohibition party and the placing of its platform in the Constitution and upon the statute book will write the longest, brightest, purest and most beneficent chapter of history that has marked the progress of civilization since governments were instituted among men."
