KAI.EIGlt, N. C, Aug. 2. After one of
the most bitterly contested campaigns over
knowu In North Carolluu thu democrats
und so-called "white supremacy" tri
umphed today by n majority of about 30,-
000. Today's election disfranchised tho
negro nnd changed tho stnto leglalnturo
from Its combination majority of repub
licans and populists to straight democratic,
insuring tho defeat of Marlon Duller for
re-election as United Slates senator. Tho
negroes, as a general thing, remained
awuy from tho polls.
Tho election, unexpectedly, passed off
wlihout any trouble, excepting nt n little
town named Fanlson. A flro there, which
started In a drug storo wherein wero kept
tho registration books, destroyed tho
apothecary's shop, thu work being attrib
uted by tho democrats to thoso opposed to
white rule, lllnodhounds wero called out,
but failed to find any traco of tho alleged
Incendiary.
Tho election was for stnto officers, mem
bers of tho legislature and rounty olllcurs
and for an nmendmont to tho state consti
tution looking to n practical elimination
of tho negro from politics, us Its adoption
disfranchises the bulk of the negro vote.
Uy far tho greatest Interest centered In the
fight over the amendment. Many ncgroro
voted for tho amendment. Tho faculty of
Livingston college at Salisbury, ono of tho
most prominent negro educational institu
tions in tho Bouth, voted for It. Tho amend
ment was opposed by tho fusion of popu
lists and republicans headed by Senators
Uutler and Prttchnrd. Thero was n fult
poll of tho democratic strength, which,
combined with n small negro and some pop
ulist nnd republican liallots, rolled up a
largo majority.
Spencer 11. Adams, fusion nominee for
governor, was defeated by Charles 11.
Aycock, tho democratic nominee, and nil
tho other democratic candidates wore
elected. Tho legislature is democratic In
both branches. Mecklenburg county, of
which Charlotte Is tho county sent, gave
3.C00 majority for tho democratic county
ticket. In this city the election passed oil
quietly. A heavy whlto voto was polled,
but tho negroes took llttlo Interest In tho
result nnd generally stayed away ftom
tho voting p'ares. In many Instances they
voted tho democratic ticket. Hvcry cast
em county was carried by tho democrats,
tho majorities In some of them being 3,000.
Most of the centrnl counties arc nlso dem
ocratlc. Returns from tho west nro In
complete.
Democratic Chairman Slmond said to
night: "I think wo havo a safe majority of
CO.000 and at least four-fifths of tho legls
lature. Tho roturna ao far are most satlS'
factory nnd contnln no surprises."

the lato premier of Cape Colony, spenklug
u the House of Asneuibly today, announced
his Intention to support nn amendment to
tho government's treason bill, which, with
out disapproving martial law, declares Its
cotitlnunnce In certnln districts contrnry to
tho rlghtB of Htitlsh subjects. Ho took the
ground that the amendment would not ham
per Imperial action.
Tho occasion wits seized by Mr. Schrelner
to make n long and eloquent explanation of
his attitude throughout the war In South
Africa. "If I havo been guilty," he ex-
lnimc.l, "regarding the Insufficient colonial
defenses, the mllltnry authorities have been
ten tltncB more guilty. I delayed calling
out the volunteers until the lnvnslon of
tho colony compelled It. I was not nwnro
at that time of tho wcaknctn of tho lm
pcrlal force."
Ho vigorously denied the exlstcnco of
nn Africander connpirncy, declaring that
sympathy with the Hocth did not mean dis
loyalty, provided true allegiance was mnln-
tnalncd. Mr. Schrelner paid nn enthusiastic
rlbuto to the humane methods of Lord
Roberts.
