and Dave Beatty and Gwynn Boden, of
Feltres county, on the upper Tennessee,
lie dead in their houses, and Edward
Harris, their murderer, is a fugitive
from justice, with reward offered for
his apprehension and delivery at James
town. Three months ago Mary Beatty,
sister of the two dead men, caused the
arrest Of her own father ON a scandalous
charge, since which time she has been
living with distant relatives, Hiram
Harris and family. Monday the Harris
faplily, accompanied by Mary Beatty,
came to town. the latter to appear be-
fore the grand jury to testify against
her father.
On their return home, after court had

three men named above, who COM
manded the girl to return to her home.
When the girl refused to comply with

GERndANY's EMPEROR COMING.
At Least There Is Report That He In
tends Visiting Us.

LONDON, Dec. 80.-From inquiries
made in behalf of the German embassy
relative to the sailing of the steamship
Teutonic, and from reports that come
from Berlin, there is reason to believe
that the German kaiser intends visit
incognito to the United States. Last
summer, when the kaiser was going to
Heligoland in the steamer Furst Bis
marck along with the empress, he made
a remark indicating that an American
journey was in his mind. 1t is said that
his desire to see the American people for
himself has grown stronger since and
that he will take an early opportunity
to crafty himself.
The only tangible foundation here for
the report appears to be the inquiry
emanating from the embassy both as to
dates and sailing and accommodations
on board. 1t is understood that the
kaiser would travel by one of his minor
titles, probably as the Count of Raverns-
burg.
The steamer Teutonic will leave Liver
pool for New York on Jan. Q, and il the
kaiser goes it will probably be on that
date, unless he should be offended by
the discovery of his plans.

So Says Senor Romero, the Mexican
Minister TO Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Speaking of
the embryo Mexican revolution, Senor
Romero, the Mexican minister, said:
"Garza is an unknown, man of no
importance whatever. All / know of
him is that he edited paper in Mexico.
He is really nobody. 1t is just as
though some obscure man out on this
street were to proclaim himself presi-
dent of the United States. He would be
what you call crank and W ould be re-
garded as such. This Garza has gathered
around him fifty or a hundred men; /
really do not know how many. They
are of the very undesirable class which
is so strong i'll towns on the border
criminals from both countries, who only
favor any disturbance, and stragglers
who take profitable advantage of any
trouble. The outbreak is not in any
sense serious affair. Cara cannot be
called leader, for he is unknown"
An American diplomat, who has an
extended acquaintance with matters
south Of the hio Grande, said today that
Garza's movements very closely re-
sembled the maneuvers which cul-
minatedin the elevation of Diaz to the
presidency. He said that Diaz started
out just us CARA did, and kept up the
coInmotion until the following became
formidable enough to do something
really big.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 29-Judge Nc
Emery sent to Senator Jones his letter of
acceptance of the Democratic nomina-
ton for governor, unanimously rendered
him by the Baton Rouge convention.
The governor takes ground against the
lottery, not believing that the state
should take the burden of taxation en-
tirely off the shoulders of the people and
obtain its revenue through the operation
of lottery. He criticises the alliance
movement and urges the farmers to
remedy the evils they complain of
through the Democratic party. Nc
Enery's stand against the lottery puts
him on he same footing with Senator
Foster, who is also against the lottery.
