Interruption, by Black Gives Audience a
Sensation.
SEATTLE, Sept. 23. Rising to defend
kit rce against inexorable attack made
by "Pitchfork" Benjamin R. Tillman.
United State senator from South Caro
lina, it Dreamland Rink Auditorium lat
Might, a man with negro blood in hi
reins caused a sensation by denouncing
cue of the speaker's statement a
owardly utterance. The same Individ
msl had previously arisen during Chair
van 1. I Ronald s introduction of the
Southern statesman to challenge the
speaker of the evening to a debate but
he was promptly quashed by Ronald'
stentorian voice.
"Judge, let me handle him a minute,"
exclaimed the fiery Southern senator.
TQlman bad been comparing the Jap
anese and negro races as to intellectual
power and gneral usefulness.
"Everyone know," declared the sena
tor, "that the Mongolian is a superior
xace, and that the Japanese are intel
lectual, brave and powerful. Everyone
who knows anything, and is fair-minded,
know that the Japanese race is as far
abort the negro as the negro is above
a baboon.'' V
This was too much for the man with
the negro blood, and he arose to take is
sue with the speaker, j
After the applause died out and Ron
ald resumed his seat, Tillman scrutinised
the disturber a minute and then said
Scornfully:
"My eyes are not as clear a thy once
were, but I suspect you are an octo
roon" "yes," was the reply.
"Then you are one part negro and
seven parts white, and you defend the
race. What right have you to call your
self negro!" shouted the vitrolic Till
man. "There is a man who probably
has some brains," he continued, "a man
who feels called upon to defend the ne
gro race. Whatever brains he has he
got with his white blood."
Here the man got up and left the

EUGENE WANTS BOOSTER.
NO MORE SLOUGHS.
M.VRSHFIELD, Or, Sept 25. Some
time ago the Marsbfield Chamber of
Commerce passed a resolution declaring
that the term "Slough" es applied by
the government to navigable waters
about Coos Bay should be changed, since
it is a misnomer. Secretary Lyon was
"instructed to forward the resolutions to
Colonel Roessler with the request to
remedy the matter. The following reply
hag been received and it appears the
matter will be adjusted to the satisfac
tion of Coos Bay people.
"As requested in jour letter of the
Ilth instant, I will take pleasure in en
deavoring to have the word 'Slough'
dropped wherever it has heretofore been
made to apply to navigable streams."

including Hon. S. H. riendlr, Dr. L. L.

Club, and D. E. Yorna, president of the
Merchant's Protective Association, have
been, during the last week or two, agi
taring the matter of securing a man to
do promotion work in Eugene, the same
as Tom Richardson is employed in Port
land. The matter has reached a point
where it is almost a certainty that the
plan will be carried out A publie meet'
ing will be held at the court house

unison, who has written that he will be
here then, will address the people on
the subject.

Nearly Gets Jewelry Drummer's Bag
gage With $75,000 in Goods. t
FORT WAYNE. Ind., Sept, 25.-P. F.
Crowell, a Sew York jewelry salesman,
reached here this morning over the Wa
bash and ordered his trunk taken to the
Pennsylvania depot. An hour later,
while passing the Aveline House, he
was surprised to see his trunk, which
contained $75,000 in jewelry, sitting on
the sidewalk. The expressman told him
that a traveling man had ordered the
trunk to an Interurban station.
At the same time I- F. Rapp, travel
ing fur a New York linen house, missed
his trunk. It was discovered that the
same alleged traveling man had elnimed
it at the hotel and had taken it away.
No trace of it can be found.
EATING SELF TO DEATH.
LISBON, Portugal, Sept, 25, King
Carlos of Portugal, the fattest and jol-
liest monarch In Europe, who ha laugh
ed at threats of bombs and continued to
gorge himself when war threatened to
iuvade his domains, ha been halted by
bis doctors to prevent him from eating
himself to death. That the king wa in
a fair way to do this the tag medical
men are sure, a they tit in council each
day while their monarch is fatally stuf
fing himself.
King Carlos lately has been even out
doing his famous predecessor, King
Charles V of the sixteenth century,
whose appetite no cook in the royal
kitchen could satisfy.
Fatty degeneration of the royal heart
is what the physicians of King Carlo
fear and to prevent this they keep his
royal highness on a strict diet. Not only
have they defied the quality of the food
the spendthrift king shall eat, but they
have also specified the exact quantity
and the time be shall spend at each
meaL
They have told him that they must
be obeyed or he will die. He is trying
hard to obey them, but he is hungry
now,ilways hungry, and he suffers tor
ture from the edict which take away
from him the delicacies in which he
found his chief enjoyment.
