Oct. 5.?Felton Gilbert, the negro who was brought over from Columbia last night, and who alleges that he was attacked and thrown from the circus train on Saturday night, was given an op? portunity to say who his assailants were today. Several of the men were carried before him in the presence of the sheriff and the special agents of the Southern railway. He at once recognised three of them, stating in positive terms that they were the >nes who assaulted him. The ne? groes accused remained silent. Neith? er of them had anything to say as to his guilt or Innocence. The negroes who Gilbert says assaulted him are coal black. Each of the accused gave his name after Gilbert pointed him out. but the officers refuse to divulge the names now. Ralph Ingle of Peru, hol . Carl Shiftlet of Atlanta and John Dennis of Massachusetts, three of the yo ing white men who were lodged in Jail last night, pleaded guilty to the charge of riding a freight train with? out a ticket in Magistrate Thos. L. Harman's court this afternoon and each sentenced to serve 20 days on the county chalngang or to pay a flne of $30 each. These were the young men picked up at Granltevllle yesterday, it being thought at the time that they had some connection with the killing of Paul A. Williams on the circus train on Saturday night last. letter Inves? tigations, however, revealed the fact that the three boarded a freight train at Cayce yesterday morning, and that there could possibly be nothing that could connect them with the murder.

Portugal has been declared a re? public. According to the latest Lisbon ad? vices, Theophlle Rraga, republican leader, is the new president. The Portuguese Marseillaise is the new national anthem and the emblem of monarchy on the palace has been re? placed by the flag of red and green, the colors of the republican party. That there was fierce fighting in the streets of Lisbon Is evident by dispatches from all quarters. Disor? ders at Oporto have been repressed by the troops, many regiments of which are said to be still loyal to the king. Royalties Safe. King Manuel, the queen mother and the queen dowager are reported | to have taken refuge In the palace at Mafra. a short distance out of Lls ! bon. They may now be on a war iahlp bound for Gibraltar. At least 'they are considered to have reached a ' place of safety.

Already Rritlsh warships are on the way to protect Rritlsh Interests at the scene of the trouble. The American' gunboats Petrel and Wheeling are at^ Genoa within easy reach of Lisbon if' I the American government decides to j send them there. No detailed ac-' count of the fighting has yet been re? ceived or any definite estimate of the casualties. A significant incident, according to the Lisbon dispatches, is the visit paid by the Spanish minister to the re? publican leaders after the fall of the palace and the flag of the revolution was hmsted on the town hall.

The vote was HI in favor Of a straight ticket, as against 14 for an indorsement of the! [ Republicans. John J. Hopper, state chairman of 'the league, and W. R.

He was cheered when he cloaed by saying the best way to do it was by nominating a straight ticket. James A.

Father Vaughn Also Decries Divorce And Race Suicide. New York, Oct. 3.?Affirming that the future of the Unked States de? pends on her Catholic population and denouncing Protestatism, Rev. Bernard Vaughan preached yesterday to one of the largest crowds ever in St. Patrick's Cathedral. Father Vau,ghan, a brother of the late Cardi? nal Vaughan, of England Is on his first visit to the United States. He came to New York Saturday from Chicago. After an attack on Protestantism, Father Vaughan said he would like to rush down Fifth avenue and con? vert everybody to his faith. Then he said that New York's slums are a paradise to those of London, that the I only aristocracy in New York was "God's poor." He decried divorce, ! race suicide and indifference to re? ligion. Father Vaughan was introduced by [Mgr. Michael J. Lavelle, pastor of the Cathedral. Monslgnor Lavelle an f nounced the order of services in con I nection with the Cathedral consecra [ tion this week. He said Cardinal Vannutelll woald be the celebrant of [the children's mass Thursday, Cardi? nal Logue of the mass for the re I ligious communities Friday, and that [Cardinal Logue would preach in the I Cathedral next Sunday at high mass. I The pastor asked the parish for $10, 1000 in the collection, that being its ! share in liquidating the debt. Father Vaughan said, in part: "A I month ago in Canada I spoke of the fact that these churches outside the Catholic Church were waning and dying. And Protestant Canada rose S up to tear to pieces, no| my argu [ment, but myself. Rut I read In the morning paper that Bishop Sellew, of I Jamestown, N.

VMM THTJ A WHITE REPUBLICAN PARTY. CAPERS ISSUES CALL TO G. o. I?. PEOPLE OF STATE. National Leaders, it is Said, Back Movement for Re-organization of Republican Party in South Caro? lina, Reclining to Recognize Re? cent Convention Held in Columbia ami Calling Another October 27. Washington, Oct. 5.?Believing the time ripe in South Carolina to launch a Republican party, one that will be such in reality as well as in name, John G. Capers and other Republi? cans, backed it is understood by nat? ional leaders, have decided to call a Convention at once with the purpose of not only lining up all the G. O. P. people there, but as many Democrats opposed to the incoming Administra? tion as possible. Mr. Capers today mailed copies of the following letter to a hundred or more men in different parts of the State, explaining in detail the reasons for the calling of the Convention: "It will be established, when the next Republican Convention meets, that there Is no Republican organization in the State of South Carolina at this time. Any organization, through a State central committee or a State executive committee, which may biWe existed, has now ceased to exist and the necessity for a party re? organization is apparent. 'Where no party organization ex? ists In a newly created Slate of the Union or where a party organization has ceased, under the party law, to perform its functions, the Republi? can national committee recognizes what is called the mass meeting plan for organization or reorganization, as the case may be. "No such opportunity has existed to improve the personnel of the Re? publican party in South Carolina sin e the Philadelphia Convention of 1900, at which President McKinley was renominat.ed without opposition and at that time the opportunity Jwas not taken advantage of. "Und?r the eireus'.anees piade pos? sible only by recent development, I feel it my duty, in spite of a strong personal desire to refrain from fur? ther political effort to advise our people of this opportunity to organ? ize in South Carolina, a respectable, militant organization party, with some promise for a discussion here? after of party issues and questions of government rather than a continu? ance of the one party plan where the Congressmen are confined solely to a discussion Of the merits or de? merits of the candidates themselves. frequently accompanied by violent personal attacks of mouth and mus? cle. "Therefore, as the member of the national Republican committee for our State, I write you to say that af? ter full consultation with personal friends and due notice you will please cause to be assemble at your county seat at 12 o'clock Wednesday, Oct? ober 2f,, a meeting of men in sympa? thy with the poicies of the national Republican party, and from BUch a meeting elect (blank) delegates, and an equal number of alternates, (the number allowed your county by law.) said delegates to meet in Convention at the Opera House in the city of Co? lumbia at 11 o'clock Thursday morn? ing. October -7. for the purpose ol party reorganization. "Those In your county who base paticipated recently in the Demo? cratic primaries, the candidates be? ing for purely local or State offices, are entirely eligible to come as can? didates to the Convention herein mentioned, if they are in sympathy with the Republican party and its administration and national affairs all Which are Of vital inte rest to the winde country, and particularly at this time In tin- South." Mr. .J. McP. Spann, who resigned as agent of the Southern BSxpreas Company on the 1st instant after Idl? ing the position for about six months, will engage' in the r?'ai estate and in? surance business. Mr. Spann was agent here for many yeara, but re? signed several yeara ago, when he found that the- close confinement In tin- edlie e- was injuring his health.

Indications Are That Brown. j?o\ in Race by Watson, He' ^Tew Votes. v Atlanta, Oct. 5.-\^ ^?rns received up to a late hour tonight from 100 counties give an approximate total of 72,500, of which 60,000 weio for Smith and 12,500 for Brown. Re? turns from Lincoln county indicate that Brown carried that county by & majority of six. Atlanta, Oct. 5.?Hoke Smith was today elected to serve a second term as governor of Georgia. In? complete returns indicate that Qov. Joseph M. Brown, who was defeated for the gubernatoiial nomination in the August Democratic primary and whose name was today placed before the voters as an independent Demo? cratic candidate, received a ma? jority of the votes cast in only three of the 146 counties of the State. All of the regular Democratic nominees for State and county offices were elected, the Socialist vote being Incon? sequential. The constitutional amendements were apparently adopted by large majorities. One of these provides that counties may levy taxes in sup? port of high schools, the other being local in effect. The disaffection in the Georgia Democracy manifested in the opposi? tion to the regular nominee for gov? ernor was the most serious party split in many years and resulted In today's vote being much larger than the nor? mally polled in a general election. Gov. Brown stated that the action of Thomas E. Watson and others in placing his name before the voters as I an independent was without his au? thorization, but he declined to etate whether or not he would serve if elected. He announced, however, that he would support the nomlnes3 of the party- ? < Returns at 9 o'clock indicate that Gov. Brown carried Glassock county by a vote of 3 to 1 and Warren county by a majority of 15 votes. Tom Wat? son's home county, McDuffie. went for Smith by a vote of nearly two to one. Before the Magistrate. Jack Johnson was given a prelimi? nary hearing in the magistrate's court Tuesday for stealing cotton from the field of Mr. L. D. Jennings. There were two charges against him for the same offense. The result of the finding was that Jack was sent up to the higher court, where his case will be heard before Judge Prince. The case against Mary DeLane for the same offense, was dropped on ac? count of her infant child. Magistrate's Constable J. M.
