FROM A. G. SMITH, CHAIRMAN STATE DEM
 ocRATIc EEK ECUTIvE COMMITTEE, CAM
 PAIGN OF 1892.
 BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 13, 1854. MT. T. J. Anderson, Eutaw, Ala
 DEAR SIR: have received your letter of this date, in which you say: ''I have de- layed this inquiry until the state campaign was over for obvious reasons. In reading Colonel Bankhead's letter and General Shelley's communication the inference is fairly deducible that there were counssls and measures inaugurated and executed in the campaign two years ago of which you had no Knowledge. The democrats of this state placed you at the head of the execu- tive committee and naturally supposed that you, with General Shelley, conceived glorious results. Mr. Long's opponents have seized upon the subject matter and are trying to make capital against him. My inquiry is simply to know whether MT. Long had any knowledge, s, purposes of the payment of the $250 to MT. Bowman. We want fair contest, and will be glad to know all about the facts if you are at liberty to say"
 In reply to the above letter have to say that General Shelley and worked together during the campaign of 1892, he bearing the burden of the fight. It is not necessary for me now to say anything about who formed the plans, etc. for carrying on that campaign further than to say that we were both engaged iu that work. l knew, my self, of every important move, because General Shelley and l were in constant communication with each other. Upon that subject it is not necessary for me to say any more.
 As to your other inquiry, l say that, so far as know, MT. Long did not have any Knowledge of the purposes of the payment of the $250 by Mir. Bankhead to Mir. Bow man. Upon that subject 1 have this fur ther to say: That did not know of the payment at that time, nor did General Shelley. Neither of us knew of the tele- gram from MT. Bowman to MT. Bankhead, and neither one of us was consulted about the payment of the $250 by MT. Bankhead to Mir. Bowman. G eneral Shelley did not intend by his letter to create the impress sion that he knew of his own knowledge the purposes for which it had been paid. All he knew about it was what was told him, as l understand, by Mir. Bankhead some time after the payment was made. General Shelley knew no more about the payment of this $250 than I did, and l say this after having spoken with General Shelley on the subject. Yours truly,
 A. G. SMITH.

ENGLAND AND ANARCHISTS.

AN OPEN CHARGE THAT SHE IS THE HOME
 OF THESE DREADED sCoURGEs.
 LONDON, Aug. 16.-John Gilbert Talbot, conservative, questioned the home secre- tary in the house of commons today as to the governments policy toward anarch- ists. He said that Great Britain was the only civilized country that saw anarchists gather and plot within her borders, yet re- fused to take stepts against them.
 Home Secretary Asquith answered that the laws of Great Britain sufficed amply for the country's protection and it's fulfillment of international duties. He denied that anarchists were allowed to plot undisturbed in English cities.

After stormy meeting held at Dublin, with only seventy five delegates in attendance, this course was determined upon. The leaders endeavored to effect an amalgamation with the populist party, but it was determined to close out the business of the alliance ex- change, discontinue the publication of the Living Issue and disband the order.'

ARMORED VESSELS

VICTORIA. B. o., Aug. 16.-The oriental papers which were received by the Tacems yesterday differ as to the relative strength of Japan and China, but the opinions pre- vail that all considered they are on tolora- bly equal terms. The war will be watched with interest as the first occasion when steel armored vessels will be in conflict. English papers in Japan ridieule the claims of Japan to a great naval victory in the first engagement, as the vessels engaged were in no way equal.
 The king of Siam was reported to be dead when the Tacoma left and her maj esty's ship Rattler had gone into the Siamese waters. Since the naval fight at Gasan the running of Japanese steamers between Jinsen and Fusen has been sus- pended. General travel on smaller oriental lines is much broken and news of au au- thentic nature is difficult to obtain.
 That the western world knows more about the Corean situation than can be learned either in Hong Kong or Yokohama was the verdict of passengers on the 1a- coma after looking over the late dispatches in local papers.

 The Central News correspondent also says: A fleet of eight vessels, westward bound, was reported as passing Chee Foo on Aug gust IA. Chinese officers are leaving the country in large numbers to join the Chinese troops entering Corea. The mer- chant steamships Taku and Smith have given up foreign protection, and have gone back to the Chinese flag. They left this port yesterday with troops and rice.
