Election Day Murdera.
There was serious trouble at Wil
mington, N. C Inst Thursday. It has
been brewing for a long time between
the whites and blacks. The former de
tested the latter for the successful
part they were taking In the city guv
ernmer.4. The trouble In Wilmington com
menced at 8:30 Thursday morning,
w hen nn armed body of citizens, num
bering about 4n. and led by ex-Repre-scntatlve
Wrtililcll, chairman of a com
mittee of twenty-flve appointed for the
purpose, proceeded to the publishing
limine of a negro newspaper, the
Kecord, to wreck It.
The editor of the paper had publish
ed nn article defamatory of white
women, and a mass-meeting of citi
zens ordered hi expulsion from the
city within twenty-four hour nnd the
removal of his press. The editor was
informed that If no answer was re
turned the pre would be demolished.
No answer wa received by the
chairman nnd. after waiting an hour,
trie citizens proceeded In a body and
demolished the fixtures of the print
ing office. The building was also filed
nnd gutted.
The burning of the printing office
created a great commotion among the
negroes of the town. The rumor spread
that the whites were going to burn
and murder In the negro quarters. The
iiegroe were standing on a corner and
were ordered to disperse. They de
clined, and, It I claimed, fired Into
the whites.
A fusillade was Immediately opened
upon them by the whites nnd three
negroes were killed. Two white were
wounded slightly. One negro ran
down the street, nnd pnsslng a resi
dence, fired n rifle et William Mayo,
white, standing on the veranda, shoot
ing him through the left lung. The
negro was recognized, pursued and
captured while hiding under a bed. He
was riddled with shot by his captors
nnd killed. The whites rushed to the
scene from every direction, the local
military company wa ordered out and
a battalion of fnlted State naval re
serve proceeded to the vicinity of the
trouble with a rapid-firing gun.
About 1 o'clock negroe In a house
tired upon a passing party of white
men. The house was surrounded and
four negroes captured and taken to
Jail. One negro broke away and ran
but was hot down and killed before
he had proceeded hulf a block.
During the afternoon there were
other affairs of this kind nnd eight ne
groe were killed during various times
In the disturbed sections.
A crowd was formed Thursdny night
to take from the Jnll and lynch two
negroes, Thomas Miller and Ira Bry
nnt. who were arrested charged with
making threats and were regarded as
dangerous cases. The mayor. Col.
Wiuldell, promptly prohibited the as
sembling of the crowd at the Jail, and
he himself headed a guard of 25 men
with Winchesters to guard the prison
ers. Another negro was hailed by a
guard, hut refused to halt and con
tinuing to advance was shot and killed.
The city Is now In the hands of a
new municipal government, and law
and order Is being established. The
board of colored . aldermen resigned
one by one. As each alderman vacated
the remainder elected a successor,
named hy the citizen' committee, until
the entire beard was changed legally.
They resigned In response to public
sentiment. The new board Is composed
of conservative Democrat Ic citizens.
Later It was learned that the editor
had agreed to remove hi paper and
hi answer to the committee wa en
trusted to the malls. The letter was
delivered after the office had been de
stroyed. 1
fp to Monday has been no further
clash between the races. The new city
government Is exerting every effort
to reassure the negroes so that they
will resume their labors at the cotton
compresses and shipping wharves. The
mayor ha ent negro messenger
through the wood adjacent to the city
to urge hundred of their race who are
In hiding to return to the city and as
sure them that they can come back to
the city with perfect safety. Many of
them, men, women and children, are
reported In a starving condition.
The coroner's Jury held an Inquest
over one of the negroes killed In the
riot. The verdict was that the negro
came to hi deoth at the hand of par
tie unknown to the Jury. This verdict
will apply to nil those killed.

GEN. MILES' REPORT.
It Contains No Unjuat Critic am of the War
Department.
The report of MaJ.-Oen. Miles, com
manding the United State army, wa
made public last week by direction of
Secretary Alger. The keynote of the
report Is found In one of the opening
senlep.?es, where It Is said:
"The military operations during the
year have been extraordinary, unusual
and extensive." a statement which I
fully borne out by the long recital of
Important event which Gen. Mile
shows have made the military history
of the year 1898 the must remarkable
since the end of the civil war.
In point of Interest the document di
vides naturally Into four chnpters, for,
while brief allusion Is made to urh
matters as the military expeditions to
Alaska, Interest naturally centers In
that portion which treat of the war
w Ith Spain.
Under this general head the repor.t
ih . ls with plan of campaign and war
preparations; with the Suntingn cam
paign; with Gen. Miles' operations In
lotto Rico, nnd lastly with the Im
portant ehnnges In existing organiza
tion which are. In Gen. Miles' opinion,
ntcessnry to make the army nn effec
tive weapon for the defense of the
count! y.
There 1 an entire absence of any
evidence of direct criticism, though
c'i rtnln sentence In the report are
Italicized, In an apparent desire to
Justify previously expressed plans of
detail of the campaign, and, where
it deal with events, the document In
largely made up of a quotation of of
ficial dispatches.
PATIENT WAS IN DANOER.
Phyalciane Cut Around Hla Heart But Per
form a Succeaaful Operation.
A most unusual surgical operation,
known n arterlo-venoile aneurism of
the third portion of the sub-clavlnn ar
tery, was performed n few days ago
at Gouverneur hospital. New York.
There are only three other Instance
known where such an operation has
been performed. Pierre Fortuns, an
acrobat, 20 years old, the sublet, wa
suffering from a shot wound Just above
the heart. The operation was In charge
of Prof. J. F. Erdmun of Bellevue col
lege. Fortuns, while In Mexico In August,
was shit accidentally. The bullet en
tered about an Inch and a half below
the left collarbone and passed upward
and backward, lodging Just above '.he
shoulderblade. The bullet was ex
tracted and Fortuns came North. An
examination was made and a peculiar
rushing sound of blood wa discovered
Just above the henrt, caused by a com
munication existing between an nrt'.ry
nnd a vein.
A horse shoe incision was made first
from one end of the collarbone nearly
to the other end. Then the muscles
were rut through. It was extremely
diillcult to separate the arteries with
out cutting them, a t llp of the knife
would hnve mennt Instant death. The
communication between the arterv nnd
the vein was found, and by compress
ing the communication the noise dis
appeared The collarbone was cut
through by a fine wire saw to give
more room for the surgeon to work.
Then the communication was tied off
and In this manner the obstruction re
moved. The operation Is a success.

SPAIN HEARS UN ADVERSE- REP0R1.
AMERICA'S POSITION.
The United Itatea Will Not Allow Her to Collect
the Cuatoma Money at Manila A
Military Occupation.
The Americans Inst Wednesday pre
sented the answer of the United Stntes
to the claim submitted on Frldny last
In behalf of Spain. It wa a refutation
ot the Spanish allegation that because)
the word "possession," "ownership"
or "cession" do not occur In the proto
col cln use touching upon the Philippine
Islands, the pence commissions have
no right to discuss them here, anil that
even If they did so, it must be In the
light of the nllcged fnct of en exterior
agreement that Spnln's sovereignty
should not be Impaired. It also ad
versely answered Spain's claim for the
restitution to her of public money nnd
c ustoins collec tions taken by United
Stntes officials since the capitulation
of Manila, nnd made reply to Spain'
claim for an Indemnity on account of
the alleged imprisonment of Spanish
troop of Manila nnd for their subse
quent restraint from being of service
to Spain In the suppression of the In
surrection and the preservation of
property.
The Amerlcnn rommlsslonr is held
that there wa Justification, under the
term of the protocol for the discus
sion of the future of the Philippine Is
lands, and they also claimed that the
occupation of Manila I a military one,
which Justifies the United State In
collecting revenues, ndmlnlsterlng the
povernment and exercising all the
functions of possession.
President McKlnley Instructed the
American representatives at Paris to
admit of no further discussion as to
the right to consider the disposition of
the Philippine Islands, and stnte that
on that point the Instructions alrendy
sent must stand, the only matters for
discussion from the American view be
ing the manner of giving over the Is
lands. MAY SAVE THE TERESA.

TRADE REVIEW.
Volume of Trade Greater Than in Preceding
Yeara- Export of Iron.
It. O. Hun & Co.'s review of trndo
reports as follows for last week: The
country has safely passed the trial of
ofr year ' elections. Before this elec
tion everything except political un
certainties favored bminm enlarge
ment. The volume of trade has been
the greatest ever known in any month
except December, UV1. The record on
November thus far shows clearings
10.4 per cent, larger than lust year
nnd 9.3 per cent, larger than in 1892.
The railroad earnings In October have
been 5.2 per cent, larger than last year
End x per cent, larger than in 1892.
Foreign trude shows an Increase of
2C per cent. In October In exports,
with 3f per cent. In exports from New
York last week, while Imports showed
a gain of only 22 per cent. In October,
and credits against foreign bankers
were piling up at an inconvenient
1 ate. There is absolutely no anxlecsy .
nbotit the currency, and the treasury
la only too strong.' When enormous
exports of products are considered.
It seems quite impossible for the coun
try to meet with serious monetary
trouble, especially In view of past
surplus in favor of this country.
Wheat declined nearly a cent, but
recovered all the loss, with Atlantic
exports, flour Included, of 3,338,509
bushels, against 3.274.489 Inst year,
and Pacific exports 1.016,961 bushels,
ngalnst l.fi!-2,3.r2 last year. Western
receipts 9.9114.025 bushels for the week,"'
against 7.255.514 last year, continue to
render the holding back of stocks
manifestly a failure. Corn has but
slightly changed In price, with ex
ports of 2,062.331 bushels, against 2,
474.641 last yenr. and an Increase of
more than a half in western receipts.
Cotton remains at the lowest prices on
record, with heavy receipts and with
out large milling demand.
Iron production November 1 won
228,935 tons weekly, against 215,3,",
October 1. and a decrease Is seen of
30,241 tons In stocks unsold outside
the holdings of the great steel com
panies. Indicating an actual consump
tion of 1.019.646 tons in October, about
2t3 tons daily greater than the largest
ever shown In any previous month on
rc-cord. The export demand is beyond
all dreams, 40.000 tons rails for
northern Europe and 100.000 tons
plates, besides 4,500 tons billets from
Pittsburg alone, with great quantities
of bars, rods, wire and other finished
product. The works are generally
filled with orders, Including many
from ocean and lake shipyards, and
many for cars, with seasonable de
mand for other products.
The minor metals still advance,
largely with the London demand, tin'
to 18.30 cents and copper to 11.62
cents bid for lake, with lead steady at
8.72H cents In spite of heavy Mexican
arrivals.
Wool sales for the past week were
only 4,736,000 pounds at the three chief
eastern markets, and were secured by
concessions at all markets, as last
week, making 18,234.900 pounds,
against 16,652,902 for the same two
weeks last year and 12.2S9.60O
pounds for the same weeks ' In U92.
Many holders are refusing to abate
their prices, though large manufac
turers bid below current market
prices, because of their uncertainty In
regard to the demand for woolen'
goods, whloh haa somewhat improved,
and yet not greatly.
It is growing in the minds of holders
of wool at the East that the supply
of foreign and domestic wool on hand
Is much greater than has heretofore
been supposed. Cotton goods are, on
the whole. In -better demand, although
slightly lower, and little can be said
of encouraging character aa to the de
mand for staple goods of domettlo
use.
