The evidence Of the widow OF ex-
Gov. Blackburn, Of Kentucky. is
very damaging to Col. Breckln-
ridges cause. She swe"rs that n, ne
acknowledged in her presence his
engagement to marry Miss Pollard
and excused himself from making
a public announcement Of the fact
by saying that it was too soon after
his wife's death and would displeas'
his children. The evidence taker
by the Colonel gives Miss Pollard
had name, but how will he explain
what Mrs. Blackburn says?

President Cleveland, VINO mas " hne
sense of humor, will doubtless smile
when he returns from his hunting
trip and gets.a glimpse Of a bill
that has been evolved from the
brain of Mr.. Bailey, the brilliant
Young Texan, whose devotion to
the Constitution has earned HIM
fame in the House. A preamble to
the bill recites the charges that
have been made Of the encroach-
ment of the government, and the
bill provides for cessation OF Such
encroachment by relieving Senat-
ors and Representatives from all
participation in the making OF ap-
pointments. 1t provides further
that whenever the President desires
information not contained in the
papers Of applicants for Office ne
must get it from some one who is
not a member of either branch OF
Congress. While Mr.. Bailey's bill
has some desirable points, the coun-
try. to say nothing ofCongress' is
hardly educated up to such high
standard yet. Congress would to
be sure be purer and more patriotic
If IFS members had no dealings with
patronage, but until there is de-
cided change in human nature Con-
gress is not likely to deprive Its
members of the privilege of trying
if they Go not always succeed t. get
Offices for those who help them tc

Although it took more than tw'
weeks to get voting quOrm on tn
Aoor of the House to pass MI
Bland's bill for the coinage OF tn
seipnorage the quorum did not sta
two days. True, there is no eSpee
al need of quorum to consider tn
pension bill, which is now oefol
the House, but that is no good rel

son why so many members SnouI
be absent. They are sent here al

than the making Of appropriation
and that for pensions is the large
of them all.

THE MANCHURIAN CAPITAL

IaE MANOuO MAN OAE1lAA FROM PRESENT OUTDOORS WILL SOON BE IN f THE HANDS OF THE JAPs.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The Japanese legation has received the following cable from the Japar ,se government:
 ''The first amy, under Marshal Yama- gata, has taken possession of Fang Tang Cheng. The Chinese fled toward Mattine- nung. The second army, under Marshal Oyama, are now attacking Kinchow, and both Ia Len Wan and Port Arthur will soon be taken"
 This information, coming on the anni- versary of the emperor's birthday, is giving much satisfaction at the legation. The last sentence, to the effect that Port Arthur will soon be taken, seems to indicate that the dispatches last night, that Port Arthur had been captured, were premature.
 As the press dispatches frequently pre- ceded the official advices, however, 1t is re. garded as possible that Port Arthur has in reality fallen and that the above dispatch wss written before 1t occurred.
 Kinchow and Ia Len Wan are outworks of Port Arthur and their investment is pre- requisite to taking the main works.
 Fang Tang Cheng, stated in the dis patch to have been taken by the Japanese, Is said at the legation to be the stronghold on the line of march to Moukden. Its oc. cupation shows how close the Japanese are drawing to the Manchurian capital.

to the goal being fought fiercely. Guion made several beautiful runs around the right end, during one of which Mahouey and four other Georgetowns failed to down him. In his next run be was tackled very high, and when the ref cree had cleared away the debris O'Brien's right cheek was badly cut, Guion and two others of his team had bloody noses, and nearly all of the players were spotted with their own or somebody else's blood. Moore was pushed across the line, and Baskerville failed on rather diff ficut goal.
 After another six minutes of play the ball was again rushed down to George towns goal, and Moore was carried over the line on the shoulders of rushers. Bas- kerville kicked the goal, Time was called f)r the first half with the ball in the center Of the field.
 In the second half the Georgetown team was greatly strengthened by Carmody talk ing Smiths place at quarter. Carmody's interference was very tne, and his appear ance had the effect of greatly enlivening his players, and after twenty minutes of very hard playing the ball was forced across the Carolina goal. Murphy missed an easy goal. Carolina retaliated by adding an- other touchdown just before the end of the half. It was then, very dark and Basker- vile again failed on the try at the goal. 2 The final score stood 20 to A..

ATHLETICS, 10; HOWARD, 1.
 The first football game of the season was played at Lakeview park yesterday after noon between the Birmingham Athletic club and Howard college teams.
 The game was witnessed by about 250 people, and the colors of both teams could be seen all about over the crowd.
 As an individual game 1t was very good, but there was nothing like professionalism seen in but few plays.
 Both teams put up very good work, con sidering everything, but the fact of the business is that Howard college did not put up as good game as was expected, while the Athletic club carried out every expecta- tion of it's suppo rters. The game ended 10 to in favor of the Athletic club.
 The umpire was Mr. George Bush, and not single kick by either side was made against him.
 Norman Jones was the referee in the first half, when he was succeeded by MT. Simonds. Both teams thought when they put him in that they were getting better man, but their hopes were disappointed. His decisions were questioned, and did not give satisfaction. he teams lined up as follows.
