MORE TIMID ARE UNEASY Evacuation of Colenso and the Re ported Withdrawal of the British Force From Stormberg Still Unex plained In London. LoNDON, Nov. 6.-An immense weight was lifted from the public mind by a brief official dispatch publizhed this morning by which the continental stories of disaster at Ladysmith were CMBARDS K o0 fl~S1 BIIANA SULWl./ OLEN50 MAP SnOwINO COLENSO. proved to be false, although the dis patch itself did not relieve the anxiety of the more timid in another direction, as it indicated that General White, in stead of sitting tight and acting wholly on the defensive, as it is held in many quarters he ought to do, persists in making sorties and risking another Nicholson's Nek disaster. Generally, however, the cheery tone of the dis patch, showing that there is no anxiety at Ladysmith as regards the ability of the beleaguered garrison to hold its own, has had an excellent effect on the country. From the fact that General White is able to take the offensive and shell a Boer camp it seems that Ladysmith is not so closely besieged as was supposed. Not much importance, however, is attached to the shelling of the Boer laager, as the war office has no confirmation of the story that the Orange Free Staters' camp at Bester's has been captured. Were this true, it might have consider able effect on the attitude of the Orange Free State, which is not so directly con cerned in the conflict as the Transvaal. The movement of the Boers into Cape Colony is beginning to awaken British fear that they have greatly underesti mated the forces they will have to meet and that even General Buller's task may not be so easy as anticipated. It is becoming apparent that all the British calculations, based on the loyalty of the population, are hopelessly at sea or there has been a very serious leakage of Dutch sympathizers from Natal and Cape Colony. Otherwise there is no account ing for the large forces of burghers re ported from all directions. The war office, consequently, is being urged to have more troops in readiness for all possible demands. The evacuation of Colenso and the re ported withdrawal of the British force fronm Stormberg are still unexplained. The former may be due to either the Ber artillery rendering the place un tenable or to the fact that pressure else where, possibly at Pietermaritzburg, has necessitated the concentration at a threatened point of all available troops. It is said that if the objective of the Bers traversing Zululand was Pieter maritzburg they ought shortly to be heard from. That the position of the British is regarded as serious is ap parent from the fact that British cruis ers are hurrying to the Cape station. With regard to Stormberg, it is claimed that if it turns out to be true that the place has been evacuated, it may either be due to the impossibility at present of providihg an adequate garrison to de fend such important supplies against the Beer raid or to a change in General Buler's plans, whereby General Methu ens' division will be landed at Durban to relieve General White. NEGROES ORDERED AWAY. Governor Russe-ll WVill Be Appealed to For P'rotection. RALEIGH, Nov. .-For many years it has been the boast of people living in the Rock creek section of Mitchell county, this state, that no negro can live there. Once a negro band was taken there from Asheville during a po litical campaign, but the bandsmen had to flee for their lives. News comes to day of a serious state of affairs there. Work on the Ohio river and Charles ton railway has begun in Mitchell county, and several gangs of negro la borers have either been driven out or else met at the boundary of the Rock creek district and told not to enter it under pain of death. A special says this has aroused intense feeling, and that blood will flow freely unless the state authorities protect these laborers. The situation is extremely perilous. The railway authorities will appeal to Governor Russell for protection. Wheseler to Keep is Seat. FLORENCE, Ala., Nov. 6.-Hon. W. J. Wood of this city has received a private letter from General Joseph Wheeler, stating that he will resume his seat in congress when that body meets. The letter does not state whether or not the general will be home from the Philip pines in time to take his seat at the opening of congress, but it sets at rest the speculations of the politicians. Got Damagn-s For Slander. SUMNER, Ga., Nov. 6.-Mrs. J. A. Ennis has recovered a verdict of $2,500, in Worth superior court against D. H. Davis for slander. Davis had accused Mrs. Ennis of setting fire to the barn belonging to his nephew, D. D. Davis, and was unable to prove it to the satis TESTIMONY TO BE TAKEN. Case of a Macon Firm Against the Southern Railway. MACON, Nov. 2.-The taking of testi mony in the case of the Macon Sash, Door and Lumber company and others versus the Southern railway will begin again on Nov. 26 before Judge John P. Ross, who is the special master. The Case has attracted considerable atten tion all over the state, and is one of the most important suits of the kind ever filed. The suit was first filed in the name of the Dunlap Hardware company, but they withdrew last year and the suit is now in the name of the above men tioned parties. It is a suit brought on the ground that the Southern railway, by owning a contiolling interest in the majority of railroads coming into Ma con, prevents competition in freight rates. The suit declares that it is against the constitution of the stato for a rail road to control a competing line. A great deal of testimony has been taken, and it will only take a few hours for the complainants to complete. The defendants will then begin, and it will probably take a week's time to finish up. When the testimony is all taken, Judge Ross will submit the report to Judge Speer, who will render a decision. The suit has been pending for several years and the outcome will be watched with great interes. A REFRIMAND FOR JURORS. Judge *ays Their Failure to Agree Was Inrxcusable. CHESTER, S. C., Nov. 2.-Judge Buch anan created a sensation in court here yesterday. The case on trial grew out of the dispensary. Several months ago Joseph H. Walker, the leading grocer of Chester, reported the beer privilege establishment of Henry B. Howie as a nuisance and also bought a bottle of beer from him in order to make a test case, and test tho authority of the board to open beer privilege stores. Howie called at Walker's place of bus iness and shot him, inflicting severe wounds. Howie was on trial for this assault, and the jury having remained out all night came in and reported that they were unable to agree. The jury was composed of some of the best men. in the town and was evenly divided. The judge, in unmistakable tones of disgust, told the jury their failure to agree was a scandal. It was plain to him they lacked manhood and intelli gence enough to render the proper ver dict. He ridiculed them severely, then abruptly ordered them to disperse, get something to eat and see if they could not improve. WORK OF WIND AND TIDE. Great Damage Done All Along the North State Coast. BEAUFORT, N. C., Nov. 2.-Beaufort is again in quite a dilapidated condition from wind and tide. On the night of Oct. 30 wind blew a gale from the south east. One dwelling house was blown down, the bridges and all of the wharves are gone, several fences and small build ings are down and many boats are high in the cross streets. The floor of J. B. Jones' store was washed out and he lost about $400 worth of flour, salt, etc. Forlaw's warehouse is a complete wreck and D. S. Sanders, who had it rented, lost heavily in clams, flour, salt and powder. The Carrie A. Lane, which left here Sunday, being towed north. is supposed to be a wreck again. Great loss of life and property is feared from -Virginia to Florida. Vessels are reported ashore from va rious places along the coast. Schooner Abandoned at Se'a. CHARLEsTON, Nov. 2. - The Olyde steamship Seminole brought into port this morning the rescued crew of the schooner Annie T. Bailey, abandoned off Cape Remain Sunday. F'ernandina to Washington, with lumber. The schponer labored in the storm and became water logged. Captain E. H. Outten and a crew of six were taken off by the Semi nole and the schooner abandoned 12 miles southwest by west of Frying Pan lightship. The Bailey was owned in Philadelphia. She was built at Bath, Me., in 1882 and was of 382 tons' burden. Slav a Woman and Himself. RALEIGH, Nov. 2.-Particulars have been received here of a double tragedy near Lovelace. John Coleman shot and tilled his sister-in-law, Mrs. Dora Cham bers, and then placed the gun to his head and fired, killing himself. Mrs. Chambers had beeni living near Oole man, and the two were said to be quite intimate. Coleman's wife died sud denly last February, and there was sus picion of foul play. It is said that Mrs. Chambers had threatened to tell what she knew of the matter, and this caused oleman to kill her and then himself. Smallpox Around Richland. CornuMBs, Ga., Nov. 2.-A report is current that smallpox prevails in and near the town of Richland, on the Geor gia and Alabama road, to a considera ble extent. The authorities of the towrn, however, insist that there is no small pox there of any consequence, although Surgeon General Wortenbaker recently visited the place and pronounced the cases there to be smallpox without a doubt. The towns surrounding Rich land have become very nervous over re ports in circulation, and some of them have quirantined against the place. Governor Johnston Honored. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 2.-The gov ernor has received a letter from Mr. W. J. Mize, secretary or the Anti-Imperial ist league, notifying him that he has beeu selected as cue of the honorary vice presidents of the league. The gov ernor has accepted the honor.

JEFFRIES WHIPS SHARKEY. Californian Awarded the Decision Over His Rival. NEW Yong, Nov. .-James J. Jeff ries is still the champion heavyweight pugilist. He was awarded the decision 6ver Thomas J. Sharkey last night at the end of the twenty-fifth round of their fight before the Coney Island Sporting club. In five rounds Jeffries had the better of the fight-in the the first two and in the last three. During the other, 20 Sharkey forced the issue, and like a bull terrier, was at his man with both hands unceasingly. In these 20 rounds Jeffries' great weight and brawn helped him to hold off the sailor, and in the twenty-second round he swung in a couple of vicious uppercuts that made Sharkey groggy. tom came back again in the twenty fourth and twenty-figth, but was weak ened greatly by Jeffries' vicious blows. One minute before the gong sounded to efid the fight. Jeffries' left glove came off and pra6tically the contest was over. NOT BLIND OR PENNILESS. Report as to Mrs. Stonewall Juckson's Condition Exaggerated. CHARLOTTE, N. C., Nov. 6.-A rumor having gone abroad over the country that Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, widow of the distinguished confederate general, is absolutely penniless, in want and hopelessly ill and blind, Mrs. Jackson said yesterday to a representative of the AssoQiated Press that these statements are very much exaggerated. It is true that she is not in affluent circumstances. but she has a comperency and has always been above want. Her health is somewhat improved and she is not blind, though still suffering from a, painful illness, facial neuralgia. Appeals having been made all over the south for her relief, Mrs. Jackson is anxious that the true state of the case should be known, as she is unwilling to accept any donations except those of fered as testimonials of love and ad miration for her husband. STALLINGS FAVORS BRYAN. He Wants Richardson Nominated For Vice President. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 6. - In a speech at Pratt City last night Hon. Jesse Stallings, candidate for the Demo cratic gubernatorial nomination, said that he favored the renomination of Bryan for the presidency with a good southern Democrat like Congressman Richardson of Tennessee, for vice pres ident. It will be recalled that Mr. Stallings ome months ago wrote a letter to the New York Journal, in which he pre sented a long argument to show that the south was entitled to the Demo cratic presidential nomipation and that Mr. Richardson should be the nominee. This letter has been used by the op ponents of Mr. Stallings in an effort to prove that he was opposed to Bryan and his declaration last night shows that he now favors Bryan for first place and Richardson or second place.

MORGAN FOR PROMPT ACTION BY CONGRESSi Problem of Ruling Filipinos Must Be Solved. SENATOR GIVES HIS VIEWS He Favors a Congressional Commis sion to Visit the Islands to Study Conditions There Before Trying to Frame a System of Government. f WASHINGToN, Nov. 6. - "Congress should at once take action in relation to the Philippines," said Senator Morgan last night. "This action should be taken in the discharge of the duty im posed by section 4, article 4, of the con- E stitution, which provides that the t United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a republican form of E government." t The senator said that this imposed a distinct duty upon congress and the dis charge of that duty by action looking to the establishment of a Republican form of government in the Philippines would be the best answer possible to the anti-imperialists. He explained that what ho meant by giving a republican form of government t to the Philippines was that the best form of a republican government known in the world, which would b6 the best form to be found among the ideal, and that every step toward establishing a government in the Philippines should be an approach to this high ideal. Senator Morgan favors a congres sional commission to visit the Philip pines to study the conditions there be fore attempting to frame a system of government. In the senator's opinion the United States should have charge of the exter nal relations of the islands, of collect ing and expending the revenues, and of all matters relating to the islands as a group, while the local affairs should be confided as far as possible to the people of the different localities. In this con nection, he spoke of the township sys tem of the New England states as the highest ideal of local self government. The question of who should have the right to vote would have to be determ ined by congress, and in this connection 4 the senator called attention to the fact that in the first instance the determina tion of who shall have the suffrage in the states and territories organized un der the United States is an arbitrary act, in some placs men only being al lowed to vote, in others men and ( women, and in others various qualifica tions being prescribed. Existing laws should be continued in ( force as far as they were good laws, because the people understood them. One change that would have to be made ( would be to take away from the friars and the religious orders their power of levying taxes on the people. Senator Morgan is of the opinion that, while the United States should under take at once the solution of the problem of governing the Philippines, the devel opment of that government into its ul timate form will have to be a matter of growth. CROWDS WELCOME SCHLEY. Hero of Santiago Given a Noisy Recep tion In Birmingham. BIRMINGH Am, Ala., Nov. 6.-Birming ham is crowded today with visitors from all over Alabama come to pay honor to Admiral and Mrs. Winfield S. Schley.
