way to attend the fair at Woodstock, III.
The veteran, though well advanced in
years, still carries himself erect and shows
the marks OF his West Point training.
Both his hair and beard are almost snow
white, but he retain3 full use of all his fac.
ulties, except hearing, which is somewhat

A reporter called upon hip at his room
and was pleasantly received. The first
subject broaChed vas the recent conference
in Washington between himself, General
Malone aud Chalmers, and speaking OF it
he said that their meeting at the Capital
had had political construction put upon

no such purpose, but meeting General Ma
hone there they bad gone on 70 his room

Later Chalmers had also dropped in, and
casually the subject OF politics had come
up, but there was no general conference
that he knew Of, nor had any special un-
derstanding come Of it. General Malone
felt very confident OF carrying Virginia
this year by an increased majority, and OF
wheeling her into line next year against
the Democratic party, and there was little
doubt bnG that he was correct in his calcu.

Gen. Lopgs!reet further said that the

The Details Of the Affair-rhe Situation
Critical.

SthttNts
LONDON, September 1.-THE Standards
Hong Kong special gives additional details
OF the rioting in Canton on Monday last.
The riet began at 5 o'clock in the morning.
As previously stated, the trouble was
caused by quarrel between some Chinese
and Portuguese watchmen on the Quay.
During the latter part Of the riot some Of
the merchants armed themselves to defend
their property. The party consisted Of nine
Germans and three Englishmen. They
fred into the mob, killing five Chinese and
wounding many more. The arrival Of
Chinese troops finally checked the moi.
Now two British, one French and fye
Chinese gunboats are moored in the river
abreast OF the foreign settlement.
The Chinese posted placards on the walls
OF the city applaudng the action Of the
populace, and calling upon them to l:ill the
Europeans at the next opportunity which
presents itself. The different Consuls at
Canton admit the situation is very serious.
Tue future OF the European colony is
gloomy in the extreme. There is almost
open war between the native. and foreign
elements, and It will be necessary to have
men-of-war in the harbor for long time
to come as measure OF protection. The
houses burned by the mob include ten
English, one American, two German and
one French. The Consuls forwarded to the
Viceroy an identical no;e holding him
auswerable for the destruction OF the prop.
erty because he failed to promptly send
troops when advised Of the disorders.
Three Chinamen, who were caught in
the act Of plundering property, and the
Portuguese who was the immediate cause Of
the outbreak, are now Imprisoned at the
British Consulate.
