WAR BULLETINS UNRELIABLE
War bulletins are proverbially unre-
liable, and those of the present war
between Japan and China are not ex
captions to the rule, but very emphatic
notifications of it, for at this distance
it is impossible to know the facts, as
the news given by one party is contra
dicted by the other, and the truth will
not be known till after the war, and
that may be continued for long time.
What is certainly known is the fact
that war is now fragrant between
Japan and China, but the victories
and defeats and their extent cannot be
known here because if the contradic-
tory reports.

Adjournment of Congress.

AS soon as the tariff question is de-
termined, Congress will be ready to ad-
jonrn within few days. A Washing
ton correspondent of the Bait. Sun
says, with the tariff bill disposed OF the
Senate could probably adjourn in three
or four days time. The last of the
general appropriation bills has passed
both houses, and a majority of them
have been signed by the President.
Some of those bills are in conference
still but if an agreement upon them
would bring an adjournmentit would
not long be delayed, as there are no ir
reconciable differences between the
two houses on appropriations. There
is no measure other than the tariff bill
and the Appropriation bills which
would be strong enough to hold the
Senate together for even day.

SANTo CAsERIo SENTENCED TO
DEATH.-The trial of Santo Caserio for
the murder of President Carnot has
been quickly settled. The assassin has
been sentenced to death, and he will be
placed under the guillotine in due time.
There could not possibly have been
any other finding than that of the jury
of guilty. There were no extenuat-
ing circumstances. Caserio made the
demonstration usual on such occasions,
shouting after he knew his fate, 'Cour-
age, comrades Vive l'anarchie! ~ And
SO he went to the cell from which he
will be brought forth to be decapitated.
There can be no pity for such a man.

by Hon. Champ Clark of MissOur1-Death
of a Prominent Citizen.
Correspondence of the Staunton SPECTAToR.l
LEXINGTON, VA. Aug. 9th, 1894.
The political campaign which has in store
so much of interest to the people, was opened
here to-day by Hon. Champ Clark. member of
Congress from Missouri, democrat of pure
faith, unwavering and true to the principles
and pledges of the party, who made plain the
duty of every member of it in the conflict
now on The speech was as plain as language
could make it, forcible and pointed through
out. 1t furnished the answers to all the ale
cations and charges which could be trumpet
up by the opposition and, in a word, it was
textbook for the campaign in refuting
wrong and upholding the right. His thrusts
and hits were made in good humor and cut to
the quick every time.
Hon. Greenlee Letcher, Chairman of the
-Rockbridge County Committee, called the as
semblage to order and then gracefully called
upon General Fitz Lee to introduce the Speak
err This Gen. Lee did in the happiest man
ner.
The speech of Mr.. Clark evidently impress
ed the audience most forcibly, for the enthu-
sasm was like it becomes in the middle of the
battle after the charge is ordered all along the
line. His review of the services of the Hon.
Henry st. Geo. Tucker was as handsome as it
was true. A desire to contribute to Mr.. Tuck
er's candidacy, to see the most beautiful
Valley Country he knew of, and to aid in set
ting. forward the work of the coming cam
paign, were the motives which called him
here.
Mr. Alexander McNutt Glasgow, who was
born, and lived all his life on the South River
in this county, died on the 4th, and was buried
in the Lexington cemetery yesterday. He was
seventy five years of age. He was nephew
of Alexander McNutt who was Governor of
Mississippi about sixty years ago. Heinherit-
ed the splendid farm where he resided, and
through which is located the lines of the Nor
folk and Western and the Lexington branch
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroads.
Mr.. Glasgow's relatives are numerous in this
section of the Valley as well as in other States
than Virginia. He was educated at Washing
ton College and was there a class-mate of ex-
Governor Kemper. He leaves widow and
six children.

ST. PAUL, Dec. Thames Giltillan,
chief Justice of the state supreme court,
died Sunday morning at GOA. He was
in his 65th year. He had been confined
to his house for about two months.
For long time it was supposed that
his indisposition was but temporary,
and the result Of overwork. During
the last few weeks, however, a serious
disease of the liver became apparent to
his physician, the true nature Of which
seems yet to be a mystery. The pres
ence OF all his family consoled his lat

Judge Gilfillan was born in Bannock-
burn, Scotland, Nov. 8, 1929. His
parents removed with him to New
York in 1880, and there he received an
academic education. In 1852 he was
admitted to the bar The same year he
began the practice Of law in Buffalo.
In January. 1857, he arrived i'll St.
