From the hall of the House of Representatives the momen tous event soon reached the vast and excited multitude outside, who had cede. The people shouted, the bells were rung, the cannon roared, the city was Illuminated, and great was the rejoicing.” The ordinance of secession was passed after a prolonged contest, by the vote of 208 yeas to 89 nays. Among those who voted against the ordinance were Aleck and Linton Stephens. Hersche! V. Johnson and Hiram War ner. Benjamin H. Hill voted on the final ballot for secession.

Ga., May 22.—It was a land slide In today's primary for the Phillips ticket. John R. Baggett being defeated by 156 votes for Mayor, out of a total vote polled of 499. The hottest municipal campaign In the history of Dublin came to a close with the election today. Last night both fac tions held rallies. The Phllllos support ers used the Chautauqua Auditorium and the Citizens’ League the court auditori um. Both sides were addressed by speak ers until a late hour. For the first time in the history of Dublin, politloal organi sations figured in a municipal campaign, and for the first time public speaking was indulged in. Some weeks ago the Citizens’ League was organized. The fol lowing platform was promulgated by that organization: Election of Board of Education by the people: election of tax assessors by the peoDle: a commission to handle the light and fra ter plant: a publication monthly of the receipts and expenditures of the city; against ring rule in politics. On this platform the following ticket was named: For Mayor. John R. Bag gett; Councilmen. First Ward. J. J. Wea ver: Second Ward. J. H. Lord; Third Ward. W. O. Ogham; Fourth Ward, B. M. Grier. Previously, there had been placed in the field the following ticket, which had the banking ‘of the administration: For Mayor. W. S. Phillips: Councilmen, First Ward Will B. Outler: Second Ward, Charles S. Rowe; Third Ward. G. H. Wil liams; Fourth Ward, J. R. Broadhurst. The administration, or Phillips, ticket placed in the field the following candi dates for city executive committeemen: First Ward, 0. G. Sparks; Second Ward, J. M. Finn; Third Ward. W. L. Mason: Fourth Ward. L. Q. Stubbs. The Citizens’ League endorsed the can- didac” of Messrs. Finn and Stubbs and placed Mr. W. R. Hudson in the race for city executive committeeman from the First Ward, and Mr. J. W. Carter in the Fourth Ward. The Phillies ticket announced its oppo sition to the planks in the Citizens’ Len ue platform, pledged itself to good government, and the fight was on The candidates elected today will serve for two years. Next year the terms of office of the three Aldermen from the city at large will expire, and then three men will be elected to serve for two years. By this manner of electing the Mayor and Aldermen, the city is alwovs sure of having experienced men in office. LAKE MOHONK. N. Y.. May 23.— 1 NEW YORK.

C., May 23.—-A bright picture of the opportunities of the negro race was drawn today by Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Insti tute, who addressed an audience of 3.000 people, 400 of whom were whites, at the Livingston College commence ment exercises. “I believe.” said "yvashington, "that while the world may pity a crying, whining ‘race it seldom respects it. Let conservative progress be the dom inant note among us in every section of America. Let us not make the mis take of keeping the dark and disap pointing side of life before the youth of our race. Just now what the race wants is not a vision of' despair, but a vision of triumph; not a picture of op pression. but an inspiration to over come difficulties. The race is not los ing friends in America, nor will it do so, as long as we continue to prove ourselves worthy. We must frankly face the fact that the great body of people are to dwell in the South'and any policy that does not seek to har monize the two races and cement them is unwise and dangerous. The negro, the Irishman, the Jew. the German, the Italian, residing in the North and West, put forth every effort to culti vate and raise the friendship of their neighbors, and the. negro in the South should pursue the same policy. “The indiscriminate condemnation of all white people on the part of any member of our race is a suicidal and dangerous policy. We must learn to discriminate. We have strong friends, both in the South and the North, and we should emphasize and magnify the efforts of our friends more than that of those who wish us evil. “We are making tremendous pro gress materially, educationally, moral ly and religiously. We own today, mainly in the South, an acregae that is equal to the combined acreage of the kingdoms of Belgium and Holland. Dc-rit be afraid to face difficulties. For myself I would not care to live In an age where there was no weak portion of the human race to be helped and lifted up. I would not care to live in an age where there was no serious, hard and perplexing problems to be met and solved.” WASHINGTON. May 23.—The Pres ident and Mrs. Roosevelt, who hav been enjoying a six days’ vacation at Pine Knot, the country home of Mrs. Roosevelt, arrived in this city at 8:4' oclock tonight.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 23.— Tommy Murphy, of New York, and John Summers, of England, fought one of the hardest six round battles ever witnessed in this city at the National Athletic Club tonight. It was Sum mers’ first appearance in the ring In th s country and he made an excellent impression. In the first round he drop ped Murphy with a right to the jaw and in the second round the Harlem fighter was floored twice, and only the over-anxiety of Summer to stop Mur phy saved the latter from taking the count. Murphy grew stronger as the fight progressed and more than held his own in the third, fourth and fifth rounds, while the sixth was about even. Murphy’s stomach punches had the Englishman tired at the end of the battle. A fire of mysterious origin almost destroyed two buildings on Fourth street yesterday and attacked a third. It was about 2:2G p. m. that Leo McLendon reading in tho rear of liis store. 1304 Fourth street, heard an ex plosion, something like a pistol shot In the store, and on looking around saw flames eating into the partition that divides his store from that of J. T. & C. P. Long, corner Fourth and Hazel streets. His first thought was to telephone the alarm Into headquarters, and ho went to the telephone for the purpose, but the store was then so full of smoke that ho had to leave. He ran into Long’s storo and sent in the alarm. Before the department could reach the scene, the fire had gone through the partition and was getting on the roof of Long's store, a two-story build ing, and had begun on a house below the storo on Hazel street. The department could only stop the spread of the flames, the fire having gotten too great a headway before the alarm could be turned in. The Messrs. Long saved some of their goods, including several barrels of whisky. They have not yet figured up their loss, which is covered by in surance. They owned the building oc cupied by them as well as that occu pied by Mr. McLendon. Mr. McLendon could save but llttle.i He was in his shirt sleeves when tha' fire occurred and could not save even" his coat. His loss is considerable, but covered by insurance. The cause of the fire is unknown. There was no fire of any kind in the store, and the only theory is that pos sibly it was caused by rats and matches. COURT CHECKED ROW A Narrow Escape. G. W. Cloyd, a merchant, of Plunk, Mo., had a narrow escape four years ago, when he ran a jirr.son bur Into his thumb. He says: "The doctor wanted to amputate it, but I would not consent. I bought a box of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve and that cured the dan- erous wound." 25c at all druggists. BOISE. Idaho, May 23.—The net re sults of this, the tenth day of the Hay wood trial, were the partial weeding out of the talesmen of the second spe cial venire entitled to statutory exemp tion and the partial qualification of one juror. The examination of tile venire has not proceeded very far, but it shows that tho interest in tho Steun- enbery murder is. by natural process, disqualifying many citizens for jury ■service in ”.te case and indicates that the publicity given to exe.mination of talesmen has widely increased popu lar knowledge of the means of artisti cally avoiding Jury service. Early in ti-.e examination Ciarence Darrow, for the defense, asserted that Jas. H. Hawley, of the State, was seeking to lead talesmen to unqualifi- catlon by Improper questioning. Judge Wood overruled his objection, but ho continued to address the court. Mr. Hawley bristled and for a few mo ments there was a promi't of a scrim mage, but the court checked the in cipient TOW.
