The establishment of a Republic

For a city that has just passed thro'
the throes of a bloody revolution
and sustained a bombardment, Lisbon
is now in cloudless sunshine and
wears a remarkably smiling aspect.
The Republican flag tlulters on
nearly every building and from every
vehicle; tho streets are thronged
with promenaders, shops and oflices

only evidence of the recent perturbation
are small bodies of troops

spaces of the city and the passage

These have given way to picture^
of members of the Government and
photographic records of the revolution
in the shape of groups of armed
leaders and companies of insurg'ut
troops, not in action, but posing for
the camera.
The damage done to the city by
(he bombardment was surprisingly
slight. On the journey down to Lisbon
one heard at each stopping
of the train blood curdling
recitals of thousands of persons having
been killed, and whole quarters
of the city having been devastated
or wiped out.
The total number of killed b is
not yet been definitely ascertained,
but it probably does not exceed It00.
A couple of hotels near the station

Ar? Asked for Anotlu'i
of (he Republicans of
This Stale.
The passing of the negro from Republican
politics in this State and
the upbuilding of the personnel of
j the party, as has been mentioned in
The State, would seem to be true
as the result of the circular issued
and published several days ago by
John 0. Capers, national committeeman
from South Carolina. The
white members of the party have
been called to meet in all of the
counties of the State on October 2?J
and elect delegates to the State convention
or "party reclamation meeting."
to be held on the following
day in Columbia.
The negro Republican convention
was held in Columbia several weeks
ago and after much discussion elected
J. W. Tolbert to the State Chairmanship.
The negro, Kd, I)eas, was
ousted. Now it seems that the national
Republican party will refuse
to recognize the negro Republican
convention and that the convention
was held all in vain, according ?.
John Capers.
At the time of the negro convention
there was a strict let-alone policy
adopted by the white Republicans
of the State. Only three white
men attended the convention and one
of these was elected chairman.
The negroes in several districts
of the State have declared that th?*v
will put a ticket in the Held Ct
congressional honors. This means
that there will be a black Republ;
can, a white Republican and a Democrat
all seeking the same office. 1?.
has been stated that W. L. Richardson,
a negro, of Sumter will oppose
A. K. Lever from this district. Nov*
ennws the white oomvention and a
candidate will very likely be placed
In the field against Lever and Richardson.
Just what the issues between
the white candidate and the
negro candidate will be is not known.

Kn torn bed by an explosion in lh?
Starkville mine of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company near Starkville,

ot'heroic efforts of rescuers who
worked throughout Sunday trying to
peneuuie Ulf DlilCU depths ??l fh*
hope thai some or probably all of
I he imprisoned miners might be rescued
alive.
The presence of damp black made
the work of rescuers extremely ha/.ardous.
Time and again Sunday the
members of parties were overcome,
necessitating returning: to the open
air. Iatte that afternoon those superintending
the work of rescue decided
that none should enter the
miue until a portable t'uu was installed.
The fan reached the mine at four
o'clock and was mounted upon an
electric motor car and gradually cur
ried forward into the new slop",
working as ti went, driving the kua
ahead and as was hoped, to an air
shaft thousands of feet inside rh?*
mine where it might escape.
The greatest caution possible was
exercised that the motor earning the
fan should not be advanced too rapidly,
and a sudden rush of gas. or
kick back, over whelm the men operating
the machine and snuff out their
lives.
A touching feature of the rscue
.work was th'' setf-?ncrlt?ee and devotion
to duty of James Wilsou. superintendent,
who left a sick bed to
lead the men who volunteered to
form rescue parties, lie finally succumed
to the exertion and, almost
overcome by the gasses, was forced
to return to his bed.
According to a statement given
out officially by the coroner, there are
known to be in the mine 28 poles. J
Russians. 10 Americans, 4 Mexicans
and 1 Servian. The coroner, however.
believes six more are entombed
who are not on the list.
At six o'clock word reached the
caiup that a two inch hole had been
bored through a wall and a test of
the air showed it to be surorisinalv
Rood. Orders wore immediately Riven
o enlarge the opening and if the
air was pure, the m< u were to go on
through the en Is of the Slarkville
mine as far as safety permits.
This information was followed by
news that the inen who had been installing
the portable fan had been
overcome and barely escaped to the
entrance of the west portal with their
li\es. They had penetrated too feet
when they were suddenly enveloped
in black damp.
The helmet men assisted their unprotected
companions out of the mint
and resuscitated them.
