FORECAST OF THE ELECTION 1 1 WE DON'T FOOL THE PUBLIC SOUTHERN BAPTISTS WIN Rev. A. J. DIas Ousted From Possession Of Cuban Cemetery, Atlanta, Nov. 2.

A dispatch from Havana dated Saturday, brought the Information that the Court of First Instance has decided to oust Rev. A. J. Diaz and the Cuban Baptist Church from possession of the cemetery established there by the Southern Baptist Association. The suit of the latter for possession of the church property has not been decided.

Judge George HUlyer, of Atlanta, chairman of the committee on Cuban work of the Southern Baptist convention, who has made several trips to the Island to examine the title to the property In question, says the Baptist Association owns considerable valuable property in Havana, including theatre building and the cemetery mentioned. The building contains an auditorium, stores and flats, producing an Income used In the mission work in Cuba. Two mlsHlon churches have been allowed the use of the auditorium for worship. About two years ago, Rev. A.

J. Diaz, pastor of one of these churches, resigned his pastorate and, backed by some members of the church, started an Independent church and made a claim for the entire property mentioned. The case was taken into the courts, where a decision covering the building was given ejecting Diaz and his followers. It seems clear, said Judge IIHIyer, that the cemetery case also has been decided in favor of the Baptist convention. WAS RESCUED.

THEN HE DIED THE NEGRO PROBLEM Southern Man Says The South Cannot Spare The Colored Worker. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Richmond, Nov. 2. Professor S.

C. Mitchell, of Richmond College, delivered before the Baptist Ministers' Conference this morning by Invitation an address on "Proposed Solutions of the Negro Problem," which aroused widespread interest. Many prominent educators were present, among them Dr. Taylor, of Boston; Dr. Lewis, of the Virginia University; Dr.

Taft, of Hartshorn College, and Dr. Pollard, of Bowling Green, Dr. Mitchell's address dealt particularly with the proposition of John Temple Graves to deport the negro, which Dr. Mitchell opposes as impracticable for the reason that the negro la an integral factor in the Industrial system of the South and the Southern people would not toe willing to send him away. Dr.

Mitchell, who was reared on a Mississippi cotton plantation, where his mother still lives, combats the statement of Mr. Graves, that the negro no longer makes the staple or cereal crops of the South, and Insists that the plantations in the Mississippi bottom are still worked almost entirely by negroes. He regards it as providential that the South has negroes for work In the cotton fields, while white labor Is employed In the factories. The planters need and want more negroes. He favors the education of the negro, and says: "Instead of taking the school from the colored; man, let us take away the saloon." Dr.

Mitchell urged that the religious bodies devote more energy to the practical elevation of the negro, and that all should recognize that the spirit of Justice must determine the final settlement of this perplexing problem. The pastors, after discussing the address at some length, appointed a committee to prepare a plan of practical effort for the betterment of the negro.

William Shue, 40 years old, died in a police station eel! this morning while a fine was being im- Mil win GIGANTIC HARBOR BUILDING Tobacco Culture To Re Reintro-1ucm1 The Geraldine Houses And LandsIIelmingham Hall. The Great Western Railway Company, of England, has at present a Titanic enterprise on hand which may do a great deal for the future of Ireland, but especially the midlands and south. The scheme is one to make Fishguard bay a first-class harbor, In connnectlon with Rosslare on tho Irish coast, and to do this a new and extensive harbor will be constructed at on tho Fishguard bay. This will not only make the sea passage between Good-wick and Rosslare several miles shorter than the mall route between Holyhead and Kingstown, but the railway Journey between Paddlngton (London), and Goodwlck will be some three miles Shorter than the Journey between Euston and nolyhead.

The bay being hemmed in by hard agglomerate rocks, rising precipitously from the water's edge, tunnels are bored into the rocks by compressed air, and then Immense charges of a high explosive, fired by electricity, bring down the cliffs In masses of as much as a hundred thousand tons at a time. The cliffs are being riven away for the length of a mile. The loosened rocks are loaded Into trucks and tipped Into the bay, to form a mole, which will be 3,000 feet long and 300 feet wide at the base. In connection with the present agitation, to reintroduce tobacco culture into Ireland, it has been noted that a proclamation was Issued on January 6, 1631, forbidding the planting of "that noisome weed, tobacco," and the plant was ordered to be destroyed wherever found. The duty on imported tobacco varied from ntnepence for Virginia to 12 shillings for that which came from St.

Christopher, the Islands of those parts." In the year 1634 the Irish House of Commons decided that sundry grants should be given for the growth of tobacco, and turned to the benefit of the Crown, with the result that in 1641 the customs for tobacco were doubled, together with a Crown rent of $5,000 a year. The price of tho "weed" in 1640 was two shillings a pound, and in 1641 the King was given ninepence per pound on tobacco, "a profit well gained upon so paltry and needless a thing," Old Irish Estates. From Dublin It is reported that the sale of the large Lelnster estates to the tenants was the first big transaction undjer the new Irish Land act. The young Duke of Lelnster, only 16 years old, will get something like $6,250,000 in cash for the property. The Duke is the head of the Geraldlnes, a family that stuck tenaciously to their lands.

The original Geraldlnes were Maurice and Wllllara Fitzgerald, the sons of a Norman knlgat, Gerald Fitzwalter, and Nesta, Princess of South Wales. The brothers founded nine great houses, some of which took names other than that of Fitzgerald. The House of Desmond is extinct, but the other eight houses still exist, and nearly all are large holders of the original Geraldine estates. The eight houses are: 1. The Earls of Klldare, represented by the Duke of Lelnster; 2 and 3, the Knights of Glin and Kerry; 4, the Barons of Lixnaw, represented by Lord Lansdowrie; 5 and 6, the White Knight and Seneschal of Imokllly, represented by their descendants, through females, by the Earl of Kingston and Sir Penrose Fitzgerald, and 7 and 8, the Graces, represented by Sir Valentine Grace, and tne Gerards by Lord Gerard.

Erin's Biffsest Elk Head. The head of what must have been an enormous elk Is at present on view in Dublin. It Is the largest head which has yet been found in Ireland, the stretch of the antlers from tip to tip being 9 feet 8 Inches, or, measured round the horns outside, 12 feet 4V4 inches. Hitherto Lord Powerscourt possessed the largest head, but it Is soma inches smaller than this late find. These magnificent antlers were got In the Dublin mountains, where quite a number have from time to time been found.

They are in a most wonderful state of preservation, not a bit of them being broken. The Tollemaches. Lord and Lady Tollemache, who recently entertained some 500 of their tenants ana neighbors in Suffolk in celebration of their silver wedding day, have in Helmlngham Hall, their seat in that county, a genuine old Tudor house, with a real moat, and a drawbridge which Is said to have been raised everv night for five centuries. The interior of Helmlngham is delightful, with its great armor-hung hall and rooms paneled in oak which age has made as black as ebony. In one of the chambers are preserved the bed, spinet, lute and portrait (with bright red hair) of Queen Elizabeth, who once lay for five nights at the hall; and the library and picture gallery are worthy of the mansion.

The undulating park is Intersected with avenues of noble oaks, some more than 20 feet in girth. The family patronymic of the Tollemaches Is really Delap-Halllday, a member or that family having wedded Lady Jane Tollo- mache, daughter and heiress of the third Earl of Dysart. Imagination staggers at some of the Christian names borne by cer-i tain scions of the Tollemache family. On of them matriculated at Keble College, Ox ford, a year or two ago as Leo Qulntus To! lemache Tollemache de Orellana Plantag enct Tollemache, while one of his brothers was christened Lyulph Ydwallo Odin Nes tor Egbert Lyonel Toedmag Hugh Erchen-wyne Saxon Esa Cromwell Orma NeviH Dysart Plantagenet. The real difficulty must be living up to such magnificent ap pellatlons when the christening clergyman has succeeded in pronouncing them.

A Servian Pretender? A considerable sensation has lately been created In Budapest society by the appear ance of Count Eugene Zlchy, accompanied by a youth of about 14 years of age, whose features bear a striking resemblance to those of the late King Milan. In reply to Inquiries Count Zlchy states that his young companion is the natural son of the de ceased King by a certain Mine. Artemisia Joanide and that at his father's special de sire ne was baptized as Geo. Obrenowitch, According to Count Zlchy It was the King's intention to marry Mme. Joanide after ob taining a divorce from Queen Natalie, but circumstances arose which prevented him carrying out the plan.

Count Zlchy, who, In view of the many years of Intimate friendship which existed between him and the Obrenowitch family, can speak with authority on the subject, contradicts a re port published in some newspapers to the effect that young George Obrenowitch is a candidate for the Servian throne. As re gards the future, the Russian Government offered to provide for his education In a military institution, but the proposal was declined by Mme. Joanide, who applied to Count GolnchowskI, the Austro-Hungarlan Minister for Foreign Affairs, for permission for her son to enter a cadet school. Count Goluchowskl, however, discouraged the application and preparations are ac cordlngly being made for the boy to Join a military college In Germany. Council Of Women.

"In an effort to act the part of a peacemaker and quiet a disturbance In the audience I was struck by a blackjack or with, some other weapon in the hands of a man who was drunk and threatening. I was not at all seriously' injured, but my friends defended me and I fear my assailant was badly Injured.

"I would not make any mention of this occurrence at this time except for the fact that my political opponents are, I hear, attempting to turn the tables upon me and make it appear on the eve of election day that I in some way provoked and led the assault. Such an attempt would be dastardly, but I do not put it past some politicians. I regret that anybody should have been hurt on ny account, but am reliably informed that the party who caused the trouble and who reecived the beating will be out tomorrow election day working for the cause he so violently represented at the meetng In question. "There are a number of bystanders who will cheerfully, testify that although assaulted as I was I Tan out and prevented my assailant from being further beaten after- he was knocked to the ground. I stopped the assault upon him as quickly as I could.

I warn all persons against sensational reports as to the occurrence. It was a matter for which neither the Democratic nor the Republican party is responsible, and which is sincerely regretted by all friends of decency and good order in. the county."

Ills suggestion that there might be a family ervlce over the body of his sister, Mra. Booth-Tucker, before the public service Sunday at Cnrnegle Hall, not having been accepted Ballington Booth, leader of tho Volunteers of America, today declined to go to the Salvation Army headquarters and view the body privately there. General Booth refused to discuss the matter today, but James W. Merrill, the secretary of his organization, naid, speaking for him: "General Booth requested yesterday that there might be a short service of prayer over Mrs. Booth-Tucker's body before th public funeral, and the matter was arranged between a representative of our organization and Col.

L. M. Hlggins, of the Salvation Amy, over the telephone. When he arrived at Carnegie Hall General Booth was informed that 'the matter could not be Feeling that some recognition of his sister's death should be made on behalf of those members of the family who were absent, General Booth requested Herbert Booth, his brother, who Is an independent evangelist and has no connection with either organization, to remain and say a few words at the public funeral. Herbert Booth asked permission to speak, and was refused by Mr.

Booth-Tucker. "This morning General Booth, who is deeply grieved at the treatment accorded him, received a letter from Colonel Hlggins and I have replied to It." The letter referred to by Secretary Mer-rill was directed personally to Gen. Bal-llngton Booth, and was therefore treated as a private communication and not made public. It was explained by Mr. Merrill, however, that the letter had extended to General Booth an invitation to go to the Salvation Army headquarters today and view Mrs.

Booth-Tucker's body. Mr. Merrill's reply to the letter was as follows: Dear Sir: Your letter to Gen. Ballington Booth ha been received in which you say that if he wishes to privately view the body of his sister at Fourteenth street today (Monday) you will exclude the public from the lying in state, as his doing so was "impossible" at Carnegie Hall. After the Inconsiderate and indifferent way in which Gen.

Ballington Booth was treated yesterday at the Carnegie Music Lall it would not be wise for him to subject himself to further misunderstanding. During the three-quarters of an hour he waited there it would have been quite possible for you to have acceded to his. as alco Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Booth's, request for a family gathering.

He was at the hall with the understanding that you had been fully consulted, as als6 Commissioner Booth-Tucker and Miss Eva, Booth. His request was one perfectly natural to any brother imuly to pray with the members of the family for a brief time around the coffin. He came purely in the spirit of sympathy and unofficially, as alao did Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Booth.

was furthest from their thoughts to allude to any differences between the movements or governments, and they felt that, when the public was being allowed to participate in the obsequies of their sister, they, as members of the family, had some rights. He would never have come near the Carnegie Musio Hall had he not been assured over the wire by your representatives that his request would have been respected. If this was not so, why was the condition made that Dr. Josiah Strong should not be there? Gen. Ballington Booth was told that" his arrangements were conceded to, all but that one point, and he immediately waived that wish in deference to the request of Miss Eva Booth and Commander Booth-Tucker.

In your letter of this morning you overlook the express purpose of Gen. Ballington Booth's and Mr. Herbert Booth's visit to the Carnegie Hall. It was for a family gathering around the body and not merely to view the remains. We regret this deplorable exhibition of Salvation Army spirit, and we cannot advise Gen.

Ballington Booth to be exposed to the probable repetition of disrespect that would be shown him were he today to visit the Salvation Army's own headquarters. Colonel Higglns, who had charge of the funeral yesterday, would not make public the letter which he wrote to General Booth asking him to view his sister's body at the army headquarters today. "I have nothing to say. Ballington Booth may do as he pleases," was all he would say. Mrs.

Booth-Tucker's body will be Interred tomorrow in Woodlawn Cemetery, the original plan to send the body to England for burial in Abney Park Cemetery having been abandoned.

WILLIAMS AT CRISFIELD What He Snid About Introducing The II a Bill In The Senate And The Ojster Question. JSpecial Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Curs field, Nov. 2. An enthusiastic Republicai mass-meeting was held at Odd Fellows' Hall in Crlsfield, the heme of the candidate for Comptroller.

The meeting was the winding up of the campaign by the Republican State candidates. A large gathering of representative people of Crlsfield and surrounding counties filled the Odd Fellows Hall to overflowing to liear Mr. AVIIHams and other speakers. The gallery was filled with negroes, who cheered every speaker to the echo, and especially every reference to their coming victory. It is stated Mr.

"Williams was informed that there was not money enough to carry this section If he did not come down and personally explain his position on the oyster question. This has been the chief poinr of attack on Mr. Williams by the Democratic speakers. Mr. L.

T. Dryden was the presiding officer and made an address before Introducing the first speaker, Mr. J. Cookman Boyd, who was followed by Mr. W.

B. Baker. Mr. Williams was greeted with a burst of applause as he stepped to the front. His address was deeply Interesting to Somerset county, as his position on the oyster question was set forth.

Congressman Baker told a great many funny stories incidentally bearing upon the Iniquity of the present ballot law. Accords ing to Mr. Baker's statement, thousands of voters will be disfranchised, but according to M. A. L.

Dryden the most illiterate negro can be taught to vote. Mr. Baker advocated returning to the old method of voting for Lincoln's head Instead of voting for individuals. This declaration was greeted witl applause from the negroes in the galleries. A circular had been Issued and distributed among the oystermen during the last few days alleging that Mr.

Williams had Introduced the Haman Oyster bill at the session of 1900 and would recommend its passage if elected Mr. Williams In his speech said It was true he had at that session introduced a bill on the oyster question which had been prepared by Mr. Haman, and It was in the shape In which Mr. Haman then offered it. This bill was referred to a committee which he thought failed to report.

Mr. Williams also said that having accepted the Republican nomination on a platform declaring1 for oyster planting at the public expense he utood upon the platform and considered himself bound by It and would not urge or advocate the passage of oyster legislation different from that contained in the Republican platform. If such legislation was to be passed it should be definitely presented to the people so that they could approve before the Legislature acted. He said one of his criticisms of the Election law had been that the control of the Legislature had been secured in 1899 by the Democrats upon an entirely different issue; that he did not believe In going before the people on one proposition and when power was secured converting It Into a different one. Mr.

Williams received an enthusiastic welcome In Crisfield and after the meeting held an Informal reception. He looked fresh after his strenuous campaign through the State and had undoubtedly won many friends by his courtesy and unwearied efforts for Republican success. He left with his party-for Baltimore tonight on the steamer Maryland and will tomorrow go to Belalr to vote. CHARGED WITH HAZING Court-Martial For Midshipmen At The Naval Academy. Annapolis, jnov.

Richmond, Nov. 2. The Virginia campaign closed tonight with Indications of va very small vote tomorrow, but an overwhelming Democratic victory. It so happens that in most districts where the Democratic nominees for the Legislature have formidable opposition there are contests over county officers which will bring out a good vote. Probably the most interesting fights in the State are in Rockingham, where Mr.

Earman Is opposing Senator Keezell, the veteran Democrat, and In Henrico, where there is a hot fight between Brauer and Todd for Treasurer. Brauer has the indorsement of the State committee and Todd of the county committee. Senator Barksdal made the closing speech for Brauer tonight at a meeting in Barton Heights, the home of Mr. Todd. Work at the William R.

Trigg shipyards probably will be started within the next week or two, and 400 men, it is thought, will find employment for six or eight months. They will be employed on the oil-tank steamer for the Standard OH Company, and probably on two tugs purchased at auction by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The court today accepted the offer of $33,000 made by the' Standard Oil Company for the tank steamer and plans either for partially or entirely building the vessel here have about been completed between the company and Receiver Myers. Negotiations are pending between the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the receiver to build the two tugs wholly or partially here. A The union printers of Richmond are trying to secure an advance in wages from $16 to $18 a week, beginning the first of the year.

Special interest attached to the meeting of East Hanover Presbytery, which begun at the Second Presbyterian Church today, because of the fight which will be made by the First Church of Lynchburg to prevent Rev. Dr. F. T. McFaden accepting the call tendered him to the First Church here.

The commission from the First Church asking permission to prosecute the call to Dr. McFaden before the Montgomery Presbytery was readily granted. The general impression is that Dr. McFaden will come, to the Richmond church. Hon.

John S. Wise, of New York, was here today and predicted the election of Low for Mayor tomorrow. He admitted, however, that the result is very doubtful. Mrs. Eliza Blnford, widow of Mr.

2. East Rock has claimed another victim. Others have died trying to ascend its sheer height, but Frank P. Johnson, the last victim, succumbed after being rescued from a perilous position on the edge of the summit, wheri for 12 hours' ho had clung before being discovered. After being Tescued from, the ledge, Mr.

Johnson, who was manager of the Tidewater Trap Rock of East Haven, died today from the shock of his experience. Johnson was found in a semi-conscious condition Sunday morning, partly resting on a narrow ledge a few feet below the top of the cliff, and with one arm thrown about an iron rod which supports a guard rail along the summit. Had he released his hold he would have fallen 200 feet. After policemen had rescued him he was partly revived, and said that he had started to ride down the driveway on his bicycle at 0 o'clock Saturday night, but from that time until he found himself la the police station he remembered nothing. His bicycle, with the chain broken, was found against a low Walloon the edge of the cliff.

Johnson was removed to his home, in East Haven, where he died. He was a sufferer from Bright's disease, and this, together with exposure and shock, is believed to have caused his death. His wife, who was visiting in Worcester, was notified. Johnson was about 85 years old and had distinguished himself as an inventor. He Jived as a recluse in a shanty on the top of an Immense formation of rock, which his company quarried.

His wif and family lived elsewhere. Johnson's life was devoted to his scientific labors. His shanty was practically a laboratory, in which he spent all of his time. Among his inventions was one intended to facilitate the raising of sunken ships. His scheme was to reclaim sunken vessels by using air to force out the water.

Many have been the attempts to scale West Rock and East Rock, which rise high on either side of the City of Elms. Four persons have been known to lose their lives in recent years in attempts to surmount these rocks and spuTs of the same chain of cliffs. George Sherman, a grandson of the late Gen. W. T.

Sherman, died last Monday as the result of an attempt to scale West Rock. He fell 40 feet. Many have been the attempts t6 climb up the steep face of West Rock, which, to the observer standing at the foot, seems to tower above with an absolutely smooth face. On the other side of the town is East Rock, which has once been conquered, and J. A.

Whitehead, a Yale student, who scaled it in December, 1901, declared that he would attempt the ascent of West Rock, but never made the trial. In February of this year Edward Ford Howard, of Montclair, N. a student in the Sheffield Scientific School, lost his life trying to climb East Rock. He was missing for four days, and the body was finally found by two Yale divinity students who had gone to the top by the roadway. The body lay on a narrow shelf of rock 75 feet below them, and It was supposed that he had almost accomplished the climb when he lost his balance and fell to death.

Fifteen years ago, Mrs. Waldo, wife of Professor Waldo, of Yale, was found dead at the foot of Pine Rock, a spur of the same chain as East Rock. Just three weeks before Howard's death the wife of Professor Tracy Peck was found at the base of the Palisades, at Morris cove. Howard was one of a large body of students wno had formed searching parties. MOODY ON MARKSMANSHIP Deserters From British Navy Do Not Make American High Scores.

Cambridge, Nov. 2. William H. Moody, Secretary of the Navy, delivered an address this evening before the Harvard Political Club on "The Administration of a Navy." In the course of his remarks, which outlined In a general way the functions of the navy and the methods of maintenance and administration, Mr. Moody referred to the statement that had been rrublls.hed to the effect that the marksmen of the navy of the United States were deserters from the British Navy, tempted to the American service by the high pay After stating that this allegation was entirely without foundation, Mr.

Moody said: "I personally have not much faith In the accuracy of computations based upon the number of hits. discoverable by an inspection of ships sunk or burned In the battles of Manila bay or Santiago. It Is enough to say that the enemy's seamen were driven from their guns, their ships were set on fire, were sunk or beached and that not one escaped." Speaking of the high scorei made by the gunners in recent practice tests, Secretary Moody said: "These results have been accomplished by American citizens. All of our officers are of course Americans and of the 29,800 enlisted men 79.8 per cent, are native born, 10.9 per cent, are naturalized citizens and 9.3 per cent, are aliens. We may have deserters from other navies in our ranks; I know of none, however, and if I learned of one I would instantly discharge him."

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Philadelphia, Nov. 2. Secretary N. B.

Kelly, of the Trades League, is back from New Orleans, where he went some days ago to secure terminals for the proposed new steamship line to that port. "The line Is entirely assured," said Mr. Kelly today, in speaking of the new enterprise, "and it will not be long before the ships of the new line will be running.

It is proposed to run three ships, and upon these we have options. "The local terminus of the new line will be Just as satisfactory as that at New Or-, leans. At the latter place the railroad connections are most desirable, and these alone assure the success of the line. "The Texas and Pacific railroad will 'a feeder for the new line, and this, as everybody knows, is a Gould line. We have assurances of patronage la plenty.

We will not be antagonized here by any railroad. The Trades League, from its president down, regards that a great sue cess has been achieved in the practical establishment of this new line."
