LYING STORIES ABOUT CLEVELAND.
His Mental and Physical Health Excei-
Ient-Enjoyed His Vacation.
TRv telegrsnh 10 the Dispatchl

New YORK. September pa story has
appeared in various papers about ex-Pre,,
sident Cleveland's mental aud physical
health. In which IL was stated that the ex-
President was a sick man that he spent
MS DAYS in moody silence and grew 80
letharyic during his vacation that ms
favorite pastime Of fishing was relin-
ouished. and during the day he spent most
of his time in sleep. The symptoms, the
story said. alarmed Cleveland's friends
and none more than himself. Mr. Cleye-
land was seen by reporter to-day IN ms
law-office in William street. On being
shown the story he read il through and
exclaimed: " How absurd that story Is. l
really have no patience To deny all these
statements. They are untrue every one
welly / never felt better in my life.
"RTFREsHED AND ATTENDING TO BUSINESS.
81 spent an excellent vacation and du-
ring the time | was at Marion fshed every
dav. Il Is rather peculiar that story
should come from Philadelphia, for some
of NV friends from that city accompanied
me on nv fishing trlD. | have taken as
much exercise as ever did, and have not
the slightest reason TO complain OF pbysi-
cal or mental illness. ! returned 10 New
York on FRIDAY last, and came down 10 my
office on Monday morning. My time has
been spent since in clearing up correspond
ence that has accumulated on my desk,
and I 1atter myself have put in two pref
ty good days work. | think | have sald
everything necessary to coniute that
story"
Cleveland looks quite well and is evil
IDENTIFY as vigorous a before he started on
his vacation.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN
H. ST. GEORGE TUCKER SPEAKS TO
THE CITIZENS OF FLUvANNA.
Hts Mastsrly Arrangement of Republican
Methods-The Conspiracy to In
crease the Majority.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dtspaich.l

correspondence OF the RscfnnOnd Dsph'on'i
FoRx UNION, Va, September u, 1872.
An unusually large turnout to-day AT
Palmyra greeted our present and future
congressional representative, the gallant
and faithful II. st. George Tucker. After
humorousls alluding to himself as the
living monument of man who had sur
vived Reedism and Bossism," he recounted
the supplementary subterfuges resorted
to by the Speaker of the House TO evade
the consideration Of tho removal OF the
tobacco-tax.
REVOLUTIONARY PURPOSES.
Mr.. Tucker next proceeded to discuss the
revolutionary purposes and acts OF the
present Congress as illustrated in the bank
rupt bill, the dependent-pension bull, the
Mckinley tariff bill. and the Lodge or force
bill. Republican Inconsistencies on the
internal revenue question and education
bill having been forcibly presented, he
pictured with eloquent effect the antago-
nism existing between the two leading Re
publicans Blaine and Mckinley, on the
reciprocity matter. He gave his audience
the definition of " reciprocity" and clearly
illustrated by it the country's need OF COM
merce or trade.
THE MAJORITY CONSPIRACY.
The unseating Of Democratic members.
said he, was a deliberate conspiracy to in
crease their majority. whilst the proposed
election law was to perpetuate their
power. The surplus" was no longer a
bother, and disbursements were so much
in excess Of the revenue that they had APP
propriated the trust fund of S70,00O,0OO TO
meet the deficit. Proceeding, he declared
that the binding of the farming commu-
nifty under the sublime device, equality
TO all and special privileges TO nome" was
as the handwriting on the wall to Re
publican party whose policy and practice
was equality TO none and special priyl-
leges to the few"
fuckers WAY.
Mr.. Tucker addresses himself both TO
the understanding and the heart of his
hearers, and this happy faculty being sup
ported 10y n very graceful manner he never
fails Co seize them and carry them along
with him. This Is attested by the hearty
applause awarded him throughout his
grand speech and by the general rush 10
the platform to take him by the hand at
the close.

THE FLOODS IN CHINA.
Many People Drowned and Tens of Thou
sands Living on Charity.

WASHINGTON. September 81 ne De
partment of State has received from the
United States Legation at Picking, China. "a
report relative TO the recent heavy Hoods
in that country. The report says that the
floods have been the most serious ever
known. Ii is supposed that an area OF
three thousand miles and a population OF
several millions We're affected by them.
Many people have been drowned and tens
of thousands are refugees from their
homes, living on charity.
One result of the floods, the report says,
NAV have far-reachlng consequences.
Near Iutai, which is point on the rail-
road from TOngku 10 1ongshan. the rail-
wav embankment has been destroyed by
the people for several miles. 1t was al
legged that the embankment damned up
the water and flooded the country. forcl-
bic possession was taken of the ombank-
ment, which was cut in many places, the
trains were stopped, and the employees
driven away. II is supposed that the Gene
raj in command at Lutai either instgated
or cOnniyed at these proceedings, III when
his soldiers largely took part.
4 very serious feature of the case is the
suDineness of the NIceroy 1.-The, who has
done nothing 20 prevent these lawlcss pro-
ceedings. The fOngshan col1ery ls stopped
and three thousand men are thrown out OF
employment. The operation OF the ran
road is. oil course, suspended. ms de-
struction was wanton and unnecessary.
All these proceedings Indicate an anti
railroad excitement which may result IN
postponing indefinitely any further rail-
road enterprise in China.

Relations was concurred in on ayea and nay
vote by two thirds of the senators present.
The nomination of Mr.. Nancy was one OF
the first sent 10 the Senate al the present

upuntil now by charges made against him
relating to his personal habits.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, September D.usince
all doubts in regard TO Mr. FRANK hume

by his formal card in the papers a clearer
view of his chances Of election has been
obtainable.
The country districts in Fsuquier. Lou

a. far as the Democratic vote Is concerned,
and while Republican, tho QUAKER ana

inclination whatever to vote tor hume.
According to latest information from

confined to the negro and whiskey ele-

Fairfax county. especially the sections
farthest removed from this city and Fair

open boast Of the Hume men that their

bsuch the voters of this district IS
already creating a wholesome reaction
and the current report that the

thereafter. provided II such cleo
ton may DO changed by law the
terms of all elective officers except mem
bers of the Legislature are extended. 40 a.
10 expire on the first Monday in January,
1894. Under the operation Of this section
all the county officers whose terms expire
in January, 1892, are granted two years
additional term of Office without the ne
cessity OF an election by the people. AS
soon as the section was read amendments
and substitutes began to pour in and an
animated discussion followed.
BOTH srpEs
Those who opposed the section contend
ed that tho convention had no right 10
usurp the power OF the people. in whom
alone was vested the right to elect county
officers. The other side contended that ~
was eminently right and proper for the
convention TO extend the terms OF the
present incumbents' offices. so as to make
them conform TO the new Constitution,
which provides for an election IN No
vember, 1898. The people would not 90
iect because they were naturally averse 10
frequent elections. and would cheertuly
support the scheme to prevent them;
Those who were In Office now were placed
there by the people, and the convention
would only be ratifying their choice. After
a protracted debate the substitute hostile
10 the interest and purpose Of the pending
section was tabled by a vote OF 81 20 %,
whereupon the convention at O'Clock
adjourned till tomorrow.
