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

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

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

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.

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

Captain Hains ceased firing. When

Witness Ceremony.
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;

GHH ACCEPTS

-
Prohibition Candidate Notified of
His Nomination.
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."
