DIorganfeld.

CINCINNATI, o Oct. 27.-The sheriff
of Stafford county, accompanied by q
Pinkerton detective, called at the
courthouse yesterday with requisition
for Morgapfeld, the Virginia train rob-
Der, and announced his desire to take
him back to the scene of the robbery,
in which he is thought to be implicated
1t will probably be several weeks be-
fore Morganfeld can safely be removed
from the hospital, and considerable ex-
pense will therefore have to be in.
Cured in guarding him while he is
there. The sheriff is unwilling to ill.,
cur this expense unless there is pros.
pect of reimbursement. Neither the
express company nor the Virginia au-
thorities will advance the necessary
funds. The sheriff announced that he
would seek the advice of the county
solicitor in the matter with a view to
ascertaining whether he can require
security for costs before assuming re-
sponsibility for the safe keeping of the
prisoner. Pending the deadlock Nor
garfield will be guarded by the police.

DAY BEFORE yesterday, after q day
or two in New York, on his way from
his long vacation at Buzzards' Bay to
Washington, the President, in reply to
a note that was successful in reaching
him through the Gordon of guards VINO
surrounded him, said there was abso-
lutely no truth in the plausible report
that he had written letter in favor OF
the election of the democratic ticket in
his own State. And this, too, though
the man at the head of that ticket had
rendered him effective assistance only
two years ago. On the same day, the
Vice President, to whom Senator Hill
had never rendered any assistance, ar
rived there and, in the public lobby of
his hotel, with not even policeman in
sight, said II am just from the West,
having lately made several speeches in
my own State. 1 had great difficulty
in getting away, but the urgent need of
the democrats in this State caused me
Co break many of my Western engage
ments and hasten here. l am glad to
be here and my services are entirely at
the disposal of the managers of the
democratic campaign" Which OF the
two is the better democrat?

SATURDAY EVENING. OCT. 81, 1894

CONGRESSMAN AsPLEY, of the repuo-
liean congressional campaign commit
tee, SAYS the North will elect a republi-
can majority in the next Congress with
out the need of any from the South,
but that some republican members Will
be elected in the Southern States, and
that there will be even fewer popuilsts
in the next, than in the present House.
What he says in respect Of the popu-
lists is probably true, for their ideas
ara too absurd for even the most dense
" ignorant voters to adopt; but that
any white man in the South, who has
heretofore voted the democratic ticket,
will now, when the democratic party
has Just been able, owing to its handi-
caps. to start on its march toward Tree
trade and farmers rights, leave that
party and join one whose avowed OBJ
iect is to make pillaging tariff perpet-
nal. and to revert the South to the dire
DAYS of reconstruction, is inconceiv-
able, except by those to whom all the
springs of human nature are known !;
to such, nothing that men do is surpris-
ing. Therefore it behooves all Virginia
democrats to be on the alert, for leg
islature elected by the voters of their
State once sent General Malone to the
u. S. Senate.

DEMOCRATS IN WAsHINGToN.-The
Virginia State Democratic Association
held meeting at its headquarters in
Washington last night. The speakers
were Representative E. E. Meredith,
John Goode, ]. E. Willard. ]. P. JEFF

Mr.. Meredith in his speech said: II do
not like to criticise my chief, nor do
mean as criticism what now feel called
upon to say, but l must insist that if
Grover Cleveland is the democrat he
ought to be, he should have stopped in
New York and registered, and then be
should go back and vote for David B.
Hill. The fact that he is President in
creases rather than lessons his response.
bility. They may call this treason, but
if it is treason they may make the most
of it,
A resolution was adopted, sending
"the Virginia Democratic Associations
greeting to David B. Hill in his splendid
fight against the enemies of democra-
cy" and extending him their sincere
and heartfelt wishes for his triumphant
success"

Negligent omciaIs.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 27.-Consterna-
ton was felt in populistic circles yester-
day when it was discovered that
through the negligence of the chairman
and secretary of the city convention,
the certificates of nomination had not
been filed and that the time had expir-
ed for so doing. AS result the names
of candidates will not go on the official
ballot unless they can be placed there
by petition, which is highly improbable,
as the printers have the official ballots
now in hand.

SENATOR SHERMAN. in reply to a let

SENAIOR ShEhMAN. III AOpiy w q iSo
ter from Texas, says:
II believe you never can organize re-
publican or any other party in Texas ur-
less you recognize the wide difference be
tween the white and colored population
in intelligence and fitness to exercise
the elective franchise. More than one
generation must past away before the
negro can be placed on an equality with
the white man. The negro ought to be
assured that he will be protected as far
rs possible in his constitutional rights,
but he ought also to be little modest
in thrusting the race question into par
~ contests"
The Senator in this, as in his ideas
about the morality and legality of the
means employed to defeat the demo-
cratic party, agrees with General Ma
hone of this State, who says, and for
once rightly, that the time has not yet
come for thrusting negroes into prom
inent political places. President Cleve-
land, however, who was elected by the
democrats, is of the directly contrary
opinion, aud not only thrusts negroes
into such positions, but says he does 80,
not for their fitness, but in order to rec
ognize that race of the country's popu-
lation.

The War the East.

LONDON, Oct. pa dispatch from
Toxic says that on October 26 about
10000 japanese, under command Of
Marshal Count Oyama,S completed a
landing at point forty miles to the
northeast of Port Arthur; and that the
Japanese aud Chinese fleets are off
Che-Foo aud battle may be expected
at any hour.
A dispatch from Shanghai says the
entire japanese army accomplished the
crossing of the Yalu river yesterday.
Tne whole Chinese force on the north
bank evacuated their works and fed
without waiting to be attacked. The
Japanese captured some heavy guns
and are in pursuit of the fleeing enemy.
The Chinese force is estimated at
10000.
LONDON, Oct. 27.-Advices from Nan
king says the Viceroy was recently or
dered to send several additional battal-
ions of Yuman troops to Tien Tsin by
an overland route from Chin Kiang.
The soldiers refused to start until they
had received their back pay. A dis
patch from Tien Tsin says 10000 more
troops have arrived there and proceed
ed to Shanghai-Kuan. Sixty thousand
troops are now at that place and more
are expected. 1t is reported from Che
foo that the Japanese are landing troops
on the northeast side of the Shan Tung
promontory.
LONDON, Oct. !27.-Field Marshal
Yamagata reports that on October &c,
at daylight, he had arranged to attack
the enemy at Kulienchao, but found
that the place had been evacuated by
the Chinese, who, apparently fright
ened, had fled at the approach of the
Japanese. The number of men in the
Chinese force, it was reported, was
10000. During the last three days the
field marshal says the japanese have
captured thirty guns, large quantity
of ammunition, rice and fodder and

THE SYNOD OF VIRGINIA.-The first
business of the Presbyterian Synod at

meeting. Charleston, W. Va, Fred
ericksburg and Harrisonburg asked for

ed, and October %, 1895, named as the
date of assembling.
The cause of the American Bible
Society was ably presented by DR.. w.
A. Campbell, and then Rev. DR.. ]. N.
Craig, of Memphis, Tenn, made an adj
dress on the cause of home missions.
The remainder of the morning session
was taken up with memorial services
in honor of the ministers who died dur
ing the past year, nine in all.
At the afternoon session synodical
evangelization was the first subject un-
der discussion, and it was resolved to
continue the plan of last year, and
churches were called upon to raise
81 800 for the purpose.

MINISTERS Reconsideration Won
Caprivi and Count Botho Zu Eulen-
berg, Prussian prime minister, have
both resigned their Offices. Emperor
William has accepted the resignation
of the Chancellor, but declined to &C
cept Count Eulenberg's resignation.
The crisis was brought about by differ
ences of opinion on the measures about
to be submitted to the Reichstag for the
suppression of socialism. For some
time past there has been considerable
tension between the Chancellor and
Count Zu Gutenberg, owing to the
formers views in regard to these
measures. The Chancellor was in favor
of pursuing moderate policy, while
Count Zu Gutenberg believes in the
adoption OF radical measures to obtain
the end sought. 1t is said that at the
recent meeting of the Prussian council,
held to consider the question of the
repressive measures, majority of the
ministers supported Chancellor Won
Caprivi's views, but whether this is true
or not is matter of conjecture.
Speculation is already rife as to Count
Won Csprivi's possible successor. DR..
MIGUEL, Gen. Bronsart Won Schelling
dorf, minister of war, and Gen. Count
Won Waldersee are spoken of. II is
said that the policy of the new Chan
cellor, whoever be may be, will be as
pacific as that of the one who has just
retired.

Mr.. JEFFERSON M. LEVY, president
of the Virginia league of democratic
clubs, has issued an address to the
members of those clubs, urging them to
use their utmost exertions from now
until the day of election, to induce the
democrats in their city wards and
country precincts to come out on that
day and vote their party's ticket. 1t
is hoped his appeal will be effective,
for no matter how Objectionable the
democratic ticket may be, there is no
district in the State in which it is not
better than that ofthe republicans; and
surely democratic Congress, unsatis-
factory as it may be, will be preferable
to one controlled by republicans, for
the latter would pass the Force, and re-
enact the Mckinley bill.
