BUCHANAN VS.. MANNING.
THE REPORT OF THE SUB COMMITTEE READY
TO BE SUBMITTED.

WASHINGTON, June 2I.-The report of the
subcommittee on the contested election case
of Buchanan rs. Manning of the Second con-
gressional district of Miss ppi, has been
prepared and will be submitted to the full
committee at an esrly day. This report,
which will undoubtedly meet the views of
the msjority of the Election Committee, will
take the ground that although frauds in
Manniug's interest were committed, there Is
not proof sufficient of fraud TO overcome the
large plurality by which he was declared to
be elected. IRE committee will reject the
vote of North Oxford precinct, in Lafayette
county, which was returned at 1894 for Man
ming, and 1445 for Buchanan, because the
Democrats intimidated Republican voters by
bringing a cannon near the polls and firing
it at intervals during the day. Three pre-
cincts in Desoto county and three in
Marshall county are rejected, because
the ballot boxes were stuffed, the
United States supervisors excluded votes from
the polls, and other gross Irregular
ties committed. OF course advantage was
taken OF the Republicans IN the matter of
registration, ard many of them were denied
the privilege Of voting, on the ground that
they were not properly registered. There
appears also to have been general tendency

AT the next meeting of the Board of
School Visitors a superintendent of schoals
is to be elected. The only candidates go far
brought to public attention are the present
faithful and competent incumbent, Mr.. Col
lier, snd Miss Towel, principal of one OF the
public schools. The APPEAL, mind ful only
OF the psblc Interests, cannot become the
partisan of eithsr of these candidates. The
School Board is responsible 10 the public for
what ii may do in this behalf as in every
other, and it must make a selection that will
give general satisfaction not because of the
perscn, but because of his or her ability to
discharge the dn,ies Of the office faithfully
and we'll. Miss Towel is youog wom an of
d. .cided merit, who has won her way up to
her present position by study, attention and
devotion to her duties. She is sn
exc llent teacher, pajns-taking and earnest,
prompted by love of the profession of
her choice and desire to prove her ca
pscity by the rapid advancement and solid
Attachments Of her pupils. These all speak
eloquently Of her, sud would rejoice to
see her occupy The place to which she hon.
orably aspires. They feel that she would
honor and dignity the position, and would
silence those vino nave no faith in womens
work by an unswerying performance OF its
du ies. To tSis the APPEAL yields ready
assent, believing that Miss Towel would mska
a faithful officer, and her elevation to The
superintendency woull be regarded by the
women of Memphis as a great advance
toward the position all thinking men would
see them occupy, Of absolute equality before
the law and In the race Of life.

ANOTHER DELUGE
In Kansas, the Third This Week-Great
Damage Done.

PAoLA, KS, June 21.-Last night another
tremendous rain and wind storm occurred
along the Missouri and Kansas borders, for
$50 miles or more. This is the third storm of
the kind that has occurred within a week.
The Marias des Cygues river has risen thirty
feet to-day, and all the streams as far north
as Kansas City and down to the In
dian Territory are banks full. Rain
fell in torrents. Samuel Oyster was
crowned this morning at Paola while at
tempting 10 ford what is usually dry
run. An Englishman named Phillips
was drowned in the Marias des Cygues,
and also man named Haywood. Lower
down on the same stream the whole country
is flooded, and work in the harvest fields of
western Missouri and eastern Kansas is COM
pletely suspended. 1t is rumored that a
great amount of wheat is injured in the bot
toms. Work on corn is greatly retarded, and
much more rain at this time will seriously
impair the prospects of the corn crop. 1t
was the hardest storm with which this coun-
try has been visited IN ten years.

GLOOMY GUITEAU.
The Doomed Assassin at Last Awake ening
to a True Realization Of His
Awful Position.
Government Aid Asked for the Memphis
and New Orleans Railroad and
Levee Company.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Guiteau was re-
ported by the Jail officers to-day as unusually
serious and uncommunicative. No person
was permitted to see him but his spiritual
adviser, who spent several hours with him.
One of the officers remarked: "He has an
anxious, haggard look, and think he begins
to realize that he is doomed" Warden
Crocker stated that the execution would be
private one, and only a few members Of
the press and the Jail officials will be per-
mitted to be present. The gallows was
erected some deys ago in the east corridor of
the north wing.
Miss Chevallier, of Boston, secretary Of
the National Society for the Protection of
the Insane, had short interview with the
President in reference to Guiteau's cause, and
arranged for an audience with the President
tomorrow, when DIR. George NJ. Beard and
others will advance arguments in favor of
short respite in order to allow proper COM
mission opportunity to fully investigate
the question of Guiteau's insanity.

The Anti-Chinese Bill Creating Quite
Stir in the Flowery Kingdom
Talk Of Severing All
Relations With the United States-An
Uncalled for Letter From Com
modore Schufeldt.

SHANGHAI. May 26.-A serious discus
sion is reported progressing in Tsu-Yung
upon the course to be pursued respecting
Americas anti-Chinese action. One party is
said to welcome it as affording an oppor-
tunity for severing all relations with the
United States. A majority propose to await
further developments, but all agree in de-
clariug that Chinese rights have been
ruthlessly disregsrded, and that the Ameri-
can government has opened itself to retalia-
tory action. II such be deemed expedieuf,
the question is raised at Tien-T-in whether
China's assistance 10 the Correan negotia-
tions should not be summarIly Withdrawal. as
1t is believed Commodore Shufeldt could not
conveniently proceed without China's cooper
alton. In addition to the ill-feeling caused
by the anti-emigraut bill, much Irritation
is felt over the publication of letter attrib
uted to Shufeldt, in which the empress il
accused of immortality; and but for China's
known slowness to act suddenly on provoca-
lion, troublesome consequences might be APP
pretended. In the best view of affairs it is
plain that the diplomatic intercourse at
Pekin will require very courteous handling.

EST a Bills SHE ED 1910.

The Democratic Convention, after very
stormy and prolonged session, yesterday
adopted a platform with a fifty three
plank, and at 1915 this morning nominated
General William B. Bate for governor, on
the fifth ballot. The debate on the platform
was very stormy, and many distinguished
delegates from Maury, Hamilton, Mont
gomery snd other counties left the hall
upon its adoption, ard propose to
hold separate convention to-day. We
hope these, acting upon the sober second
thought, will return to the fold and acquiesce
oldfashioned Democratic doctrine, and it
must prevail. As to the nominee it is al
most needless to say that he should receive
the solid support of the party. Much OF his
life has been spent in the public service, and
war and during the late civil war
are part of the proud record
of the State. This is the fourth convention
since the war at which his has been a con-
spicuous name for gubernatorial henors.
He contested with John G. Brown and Porter
and Marks at the conventions which nomi-
mated them for that Office, and with Andrew
johnson for the United States senatorship, |
and also with Senator Harris. He has |
always had large following, and, |
although 50 often defeated, has ever
manifested manly willingness to do whs.
he could for the party. His canvass against
Foote, in 1876, will long be remembered.
He will make a vigorous and telling can
Vass against Hawkins, and ought to carry
the State by a sweeping majority. The AP-
PEAL hopes that the spirit of concession that
has always animated Gen. Bate will become
general with the Democrats of the State, and
that all will rally to the standard of the
party borne by so distinguished soldier,
ind so honorable and manly Democratic

due notice. On this point the report says
"There is some evidence tending to establish
the fact that many of the voting places were
changed just prior to the election, and much
confusion was thereby caused among voters
Many of them were not aware of the
changes, and in some instances they did moi
know where new polling places were es-
tablished. Just how far this affected the
result of the election we are unable to tell
from the evidence. We can, however, readily
imagine how resort TO changing polling
places, Just before an election, would cause
such confusion and unfairness as would de-
feat the popular expression of the will OF
the people through the ballot-Sox. The evil
dence in this case fails to establish the exist
ence of such state Of affairs that we feel
justified in not interfering with the election

JapSa.

YOKOHAMA, June 3.-As previously re.
ported, the Chinese envoy in Japan issued
orders for the return to Hong-KoDg Of the
600 shipwrecked Chinese laborers en- rou'e to
Portland, Or, in consequence OF the hostility
in America to the reception of Chinese.
These orders are now revoked, owing to an
urgent plea of the emigranis that they en-
barked in good faith before the passage OF
the exclusion bill; that all their means were
exhausted in securing tickets, and if sent
home they will arrive in deplorable condi-
ton, with no prospect of a livelihood. 10
consideration of these facts and with the un-
derstanding that the opposition is somewhat
less and violent in Portland than in San
Francisco, the Chinese envoy has consented
to their re-embarka;ion for America.
Preparations sgainst a cholera visitation
have already commenced. A strict inspee-

interfere and render them futile.
A large national shipping company is or
ganizing in opposition to the Mitsu Bishi
Company, long the most important maratime
concern of Japan. The new enterprise starts
with capital of 3,OO0,00Oy.

the Court would rule out all evidence con-
cerning acts committed prior TO May, 1879

and prove circumstances contributing and
leading up to the conspiracy which existed
within the past three years. A mail-carrier

self, and another carrier was about to testify,
when the Court inquired as TO Bliss object
in introducing this kind of testimony. Bliss
replied that he was trying to prove that the
contractors had sworn to false afida-
wits; that the o der for expediting had
not been executed, and that Brady knew it.
The Court said that it was necessary to
have proper regard for a scheme of prose
cution, and where the introduction of evil
dence was concerned, even one overt act es-
tablished was sufficient for purposes of pros
ecution. This was no requirement that the
indictment, after charging evil purpose,
should set Out every overt ac'. Now as to the
conspiracy question, said Judge Wylie, in
my opinion, conspiracy has not yet
been proved. We are, perhaps, getting to-
ward that end, but with what success the
government will make out their case / am
at present unable TO say. Certain frauds
have been proved against certain con-
tractors. but not enough evidence Of connec-
ton has been presented tending to prove
these frauds. Tue evidence was good in the
opinion of the Court, and the witness was
directed to proceed.
