The other negro, Albert Royal, Is said to have signed the bond of the accussed man.

Martin characterizes the ac tion of the Republican majority of the House in defeating his resolution calling upon the War Department for Information in regard to the sale of the Frair lands as a "blanketing move." He points out a number of alleged discrepancies in the reports sent by the War Department to the House committee on insular affairs the Frair land transaction, and accuses the government officials of duplicity and deceit. He charges the administration with having begun a "policy of exploitation in the Phillipnies" and declares that "if it has been falsely accused, let It take off the lid." Mr. iMartin announced that he was preparing a new resolution of Inquiry into the Frair land deal, which he said he would introduce in the House as soon as he had finished drafting It. "If there was ever any doubt about the necessity for an investigation of Phillipine affairs," said Mr. Martin, "it Is removed by the disclosures made by the War Department in response to my resolution of isqulry." "I could point out many other things," continued Mr.

Martin, "but the proper time and place to point them out will be in a congressional investigation. The administration must investigate this matter or stick its head in the sand like an ostrich to blind its eyes to the storm that is coming "I have charged the administration with having begun a policy of unlawful exploitation in the Phillip-pines and every development goes to establish the truth of the charges. If the administration has been falsely accused let it take off the lid." War Depratment officials declared that the statement made by Mr. Martin is not worthy of serious consideration as he had taken the facts In the case and "garbled them to make it appear as if the government had been a party to wrong dealings." It was said that the records furnished to the insular committee by the department would prove that the department had acted in the matter with perfect propriety. LOCOMOTIVE EXPLODED.

A Coal Black Negro, Wlio Seems to lie ail Odd Character Has Been Put In Jail in Lexington.

No One Heemjj to Knows Where He Came From. A dispatch from Lexington to The State says the nejgro who has been terrorizing the (neighborhood near Lexington for nearly a week has at last been captured and Is now behind the prison bars in jail. Thursday, after the officers had been in search for him all day, aided by 40 or 50 citizens of the community, the negro turned up at the home of Isaiah Lindler, a farmer, about five miles from the court house and asked for something to eat with the request that he be allowed to do some work in compensation for it. He remained there all day and Friday morning the officers were notified by 'phone that the man they had been hunting for for several days had been located. Sheriff Corley and Deputy Sheriff Miller went to the scene at once and carried the negro to jail.

'He Is evidently crazy for he can not tell what his name is or where lie hails from. He says thaf he has been all over the world; has crossed the ocean on boat and has viewed all the old countries. He says that his parents died when he was a child just beginning to walk and that he has been walking ever since. He says that the people call him so many different names that he really does not know what his right name is, but that he mostly calls himself John Graham or Jack Graham. Where the man came from is aH mystery, save that he came from Columbia on a wagon with some negroes who live on the plantation of Mr.

John Corley. He spent the night at one of the farm houses but left early next morning. Since then he has been turning up at first one house and then another, terrifying the entire community by his strange On Tuesday more than 50 people were In pursuit of him and he was traced from one end of the territory to the other and at times the posse was almost upon him, but every time he would elude his pursuers. He is' as black as the ace of epades and looks to be about 45 years of age. His forefinger otf the right hand is off at the joint.

He says that it was cut off by some of the children when he was himself a child. He was barefooted for the most of the time, but when he arrived at the jairhe had on a pair of shoes that had evidently seen better days. It is the general belief that the negro escaped from an insane asylum some where, for It does notseem possible that anyone so demented would be allowed to roam about the country in any such manner. The officers are making an effort to send him to the hospital for the insane at Columbia. He was examined by Drs.

Derrick and Roberts, both of whom pronounced him insane. The difficulty in placing him there, however, will arise from the fact that absolutely Nothing is known of his people nor of himself, and it Is impossible to give the usual desired information. It would doubtless be a great relief to the officers if those who know anything of the man would communicate with them at once. In the meantime the people of the community are now resting at ease, since the "wild man from Borneo," as he has been styled, is safe behind the prison bars. IOSTM ASTER SUICIDES.
