GARILNGTON'S REPORT STRONGLY ENDORSED GEN. NETTLETON, ANTI-SLAV EBY TALKS., Veteran of Union Army rinds Negro Soldiers Guilty of Conspiracy -Citizens Treated Unjust ly in Publie Report. Brownsville,Tex. Nov. 2.-Because of the apparent misunderstanding in por'tionls oif thle Country of facets whichl called forth theo order discharging the three companies of colored troops re-, eently stationed here, and inl view of the result,nt cristicism of the presi dent's course inv the matter, the citi Zen's committtee of Brownsville. re cently requested Gen. A. B. Nettleton of Chicago, former assistant secretay of t*e treasury, now here on business, .to makce in his own way a thorough Sand disinterested investistion of the ,fBrownIsville riot of Akug. 13, and ro oport his Conlnsions. ..Gen. Nettleton has embodied his Sfinding in a letter to the secretary of war. He says in part: S 'As a citizen of Illinois, as an an ti-slavery advocate hen that phrase had a locaning, and as a veteran who e Served in the Union army throughout f the Civil war, I shall at least not be y suspected of prejdice aganst men of color. eUpholds the Army Officers. ''Widthout rehearsing details, I Swish to assure you that this absolute e ly unprejudiced investigation, made e after local excitement had thbsided, r confirms in every particular th e co 0 lusions reached by the two army e officers sent here by the war de t partment, o the strength of which the president took his action, as wel s as the clear and temperate statemeut Spublished illmeditely aftertd ttra."e0 fly by Chairman Kelly of the Browns ville Citizens' committee.' e After summarizing facts 'hlitherto co pufllished as to killing of one citizen, the maimning of a chief of police, the 1-iinx of volleys into anud through.1 11hotels, s,aloonls anid mnany private resi - d mnis and of terrorizing of the en tire town, Gen. Nettleton's letter eon s tinues: C ''It is well attested by evidence tha the colored troops were treated 0 here with the same concern that col ored soldiers of like bearing are I , treated in most garrison towns of the a Northern States. That, on the other f hand, the street conduct of so.me of r them was often aggressively and causelessly insolent toward white men and women; tha.t there was no provo - cation for the murderous raid by the s soldiers, unless it can be called a pro t vocation that the drinkers among i them were provided with separate bars in certain saloons and that on f two occasions individual insolence B was resented by individual citizens, a both of wvhich happened to have been t Republican federal offcials. Most Cowardly Conspiracy. f ''There was no 'riot' and no street v row,' as many newspapers p)ersist in r calling the occurrence. It was simply ta most cowvardly conspiracy to terrify, r wound and kill unoffending men, wo men and children at the hiour' of mid 0 night, when defense or resistance was a impracticab)le and1 was not even at e tempted. Evidlently not an opposing e shot was fired.' GeCn. Nettleton 's letter sharply raises the question as to what the *white officers of thie garrison were ~doing on the night of the raid and -closes thus: ''In viewv of the facts as I find them here, the persistent attempt on the part of some to make martyrs of :any portion of the discharged men would be appalling, if it were not grotesque. The conspiracy of silence on the part of all members of the bat talion prevents the government from punishing the previous conspiracy of -5violence and murder, and the sepaira tion of all alike from the service which they have disgraced becomes inevitable. I believe no course other Ithan the one which the president has Ipursued, was, or is open to him, uin less all semblance of a decent discip line11 in our army is .to be ended and unless every ,:American community, 3' North and Sonth alike, 1' to Tuo uivan NOT DETAINING IMMIGRANTS The Ellis Island Commissioner Tele graphs Governor Heyward that Immigration Laws are Being Justly Enforced.

DEATH OF DR. STEOK. - Dropped Dead on Streets of Walhalla -One Time Pastor Lutheran' Ohurch in Newberry. Walhalla, Nov. 27.-Rev. J. Steck, - D. D., dropped dead yesterday just i before noon while walking the streets of West Union. Friends who saw . him fall hurried him into a residence fila(n sent for Dr. John W. Wickliffe, I who was near, but it was too late for mortal aid. Dr. Steck was born and reared in t Pennsylv ania and caie South from i Ohio about a quarter of a century 1 ago. Ie was four score an(d four - years old and was remarkably well 1 preserved both in body and mind: On Sunday he attended church at - both morning and evening services and yesterday he seemed to be en joying his usual good health. On Sunday, the 17th inst., while at Ninety-Six, visiting his daughter, 3 Mrs. G. C. Probst, lie preached in one 3 of the churches of that town. I)Dr. Steek was a lif'e-long stuIdent - and possessed a vast, store of know r ledge upon any and all subjects. Few men in this State are as well inform - ed upon topics as was lie. The doctor wis not only a preach er but. a teacher of wide repute, hav 31ing filled pulpits and chairs in pro ninent churches and schools both North and South. Besides his wife, he leaves six chil r dren, Mrs. R. T. Jaynes, Mrs. R. L. Rodgers and Miss Kate Steck of Wal lhalla, Mrs. G. C. Probst of Ninety Six and three sons, one of whom is Mr. J. A. Steck of Walhalla. 3 His remains were laid to rest this afternoon in Westview cemetery af a ter appropriate funeral services by - 1ev. H. C. Grossman of the Lutheran church.--The State. Dr. Steek lived in Newberry for several years some years ago and was - pastor of the Lutheran church. Dr. Steek was a man of great ahil- 4 - ity and a strong aind interesting I preacher. A "LONG DISTANCE" PARTY. Remarkable Entertainment Given by - Miss Maud Walker, of Lynchburg, Virginia. 1,ynclhburg (Va.) News. One of Ile llost Iemlialrkiable and mlost infer-estingsoile"r.ime t that Lyichburg i has ever known was given Jast evening by Miss MIAnd Walker at the home of her parents, No. 1803 Grace street. The whole of the United States, from the Missis sippi to the Atlantic, and some other sections, including Texas and Oregon,, were made to take part in tie pro gram, and the manner in which this was affected surpassed anything that was ever attemptedl in this p)art of lhe (country before. And it is stated on goodl authority that only twice in the history of the United Slates has such a thing becen attemp)tedl, andl then it was on at comp)aratively small Iscale. The national character of thle en tertainment was (1ue to the fact that the long (listanhice depart meat of. thle raph.li( Ol)I Copayjas broughit into r'e. uaisi tion, anad h at. iich guest was ven(3l an1 opporit unit.y to talk with stone fien~d 4or aeint 11 tan itce residhing at some far distant p,oinit. And in this connaetionl it may lbe state(d that the Sout'ern Bell ('ompanyl spaured no0 pains1 or' troub11le to carry out to er feetion that part of the program care. l'yery one0 of its facilities was broughit into service inl order to make the telephone feaiture a grand( sue.. cess, and it can be0 safely stated that ther'e was not present a single per-. son wvho was not profoundly impress ed1 with the wonderful natur'e of the exhibition. In the short space of two are three hours and in the com pass of a few rooms, eonversationsi were carried on with individuals many hundreds of miles apart., and in some cases thousando of' miles apart. Anad the wvonder and the-m'nys ter'y of it girew uipon the company, as they thought of these absent friends and relatives in such a marvelous manner. HEARING ASSURED TO ALL.
