BLAND AND MISSOURI
A Republican Representative on the Situa.
ton in That State.
The Free Silver Democrats Have the
Entire Party Machinery of the
Stnte In Their Hands.

William NJ. Treloar of Mexico, Mo-, who
succeeds Champ Clark as representative in
Congress from the ninth Missouri district,
is in the city for a day or two, accompanied
by his wife. They are on their way home
from the Knights Templar conclave in
Boston, and are stopping at the Congress
sional Hotel Mrs. Treloar was Miss Eliza
beth Silver, daughter of H. A. Silver, for
years a prominent democratic politician of
Maryland, who lived near Belair, in Har-
ford county, and was a member of the leg
islature, member of the last constitutional
convention, and held other positions of
honor and responsibility. Although born in
Maryland and so near the capital, Mrs. Tre-
loar has never visited Washington before.
Leaving Maryland as a young girl twenty
years ago. she naturally takes considerable
pride in the fact that she now comes back
as the wife of a Congressman. Two years
before Mr.. Clark had been elected by 2,6OO
majority, and when the votes were counted
last November and It was found that his
republican opponent had beaten him by 1872
majority the surprise was mutual upon
both sides. When asked today to say some
thing about the political situation, Mr.. IRE
loar said to The Star reporter:
Il haven't gotten very far into the duties
Of a Congressman as yet, and SO am lot
able to say very much about politics in
general. In Missouri the democrats seem
to be doing what they can to help the re-
publicans win in 1896. The fifteen members
of the democratic state committee, one
from each congressional district, were rear
ly solid for hard money when the recent
state convention was called At the con-
vention ex-COngressman Bland and Gov
Stone succeeded in having the committee
enlarged by the addition of another MEM
Der from each district and four members
at-large. The.entire nineteen new men are
strong free silver men, and that puts Bland
and Stone In full control of the committee,
and consequently puts the entire democrat
ic machinery of the state into their hands.
"Mr. Bland can now have his state solidly
for anything he wants, and I sincerely
hope he will follow up his advantage and
secure the nomination for President from
the free silver wing of the democratic party.
as reports indicate he is trying to do. Then
with somebody else nominated by the hard
money wing of the party, 1t will be an easy
matter for the republicans to elect any
good man we see fit to nominate We shall
elect our man, anyway; but Mr.. Bland Is
likely to make our task more easy and
success still more certain
When asked regarding the report that
Mr.. Reed may think best, in view of his
candidacy for the presidential nomination,
to decline the speakership, Mr.. Treloar
said: "Mr. Reed was practically elected
Speaker as soon as the election was over
last November. He is bound to be Speaker,
and he cannot nor will not refuse it. He
is big man. and as Speaker will not make
any mistakes. and so has nothing to fear
from filling the chair again."

PENNSYLvANIA'Ss DELEGATION.


What Friends OF MIR. Quay Announce
as His Purpose.
Some of the friends of Mr. Quay here are
do about the Philadelphia delegation to
Congress. According to their gossip, his
amiable purpose is to send an entire set Of
new men to the Fifty-fifth Congress and
also to interfere with the organization Of
tho committees of the House of Repre-
sentatives this winter. First and foremost
they say. Penrose is to succeed Bingham
in the Fffty-fifth Congress.
In regard to the organization of the
House in the Fifty-fourth Congress. 1t is
said that he will play upon Mr.. Reeds am
bition as a candidate for the presidential
nomination to have Dalzell and Bingham
turned down. Dalzell has a claim upon the
chairmanship of the ways and means COM
mittee and Bingham upon chat Of the COM
mittee on appropriations. 1t is not likely
that in any event both places could be
given to Pennsylvania, but 1t Is said that
Quay will make 1t condition of his
friendly interest in Reeds presidential
ambition that neither of these men shall
be so honored.
If Mr. Reed is convinced that Mr.. Quay
is going to control the Pennsylvania dele
ton, the Senator's influence may be very
great with him, but it is hardly likely that
he would make such an obvious deal as
that Harmer. whom Quay is credited with
a purpose to down, is already on the most
unfriendly terms with Reed, but Dalzeu
and Bingham are said to be Quay's par
ticular mark for reprisals.

q WATCHING THE COAST.

Filibusters.

Looking Out for Possible Hawaiian
Filibusters.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, September 6.-Refer-
ring to the dispatch from Chicago that
the Hawaiian consul there had notified all
Pacific commissioners that fllibustering
expedition was about to leave this coast
for Hawaii, Collector Fisher says he has
not as yet received such information, but
close watch is being maintained.
The presence of the famous schooner
Wahlberg and two or three swift schooner
yachts, about the size of the Wahlberg,
from UP the coast. has probably aroused
suspicion. There is no revenue cutter here
and absolutely nothing to hinder arms and
ammunition being placed in boats, and the
schooners loaded from fishing smacks.

Pursuing the Perpetrator Of the
Ku Cheng Massacre.
TIE LEADER OF THE RIOTERS CAUGHT
Rev. Dr.. Reid Makes a Pathetic
Appeal.
RoTECTIoN IS WANTED

HONG KONG, September 6.-The leader
of the Ku Cheng riots, in which a number
Of English and American missionaries were
killed, has been arrested. An attempt was
made by Chinese soldiers to kidnap this
person. in the hope Of securing the reward
which had been offered for his delivery to
tho authorities.
The total number Of arrests thus far of
these concerned in the Ku Cheng massa-
ere is one hundred and thirty. Twenty
three of the number have been convicted.
but up to this time sentence has not been
passed upon any of them the viceroy, Flu
Kien. demanding the right to review the
evidence adduced at the trials.
DIR. Rcid's Story of Ku Cheng.
LEXINGTON, KY, September 6-Presi-
dent E. H. Pearce of Kentucky Wesleyan
College at Winchester today received the
following stirring letter from DR.. c. f.
Reid of Shanghai, China, citizen of the
United States. and presiding elder of the
Shanghai district, Methodist Church South:
SHANGHAI, August 10.
Only two weeks ago today I sent you an
account Of the Szechuen outrages, and to-
day am sending you accounts of the mas
sacre at Ku Cheng. Had our minister
acted promptly and adequately in the first
case, the second would probably not have
the spectacle of eight young and conse-
Grated women dragged from their beds and
brutally massacred, helpless infants hacked
to death and a faithful servant of God
burned in his bed.
I am sending you these accounts in the
hope that you will use them where they
will do the most good. I wish could put
copy in the hands Of every editor, every
Congressman and every other man who has
any interest in the welfare of the church
or the honor of his country.
We don't ask for revenge. but we do ask
for justice, and the protection which every
American has right to demand, and which
no civilized nation has right to withhold
from its humblest citizen.
Foreigners in China are unanimous in the
belief that a little prompt and vigorous ac-
ton would at once put an end to these
things.
Appealing to WashinGtOn.
We have lost all hope of help from the
legation at Pekin, and we are now appeal
ing directly to Washington. Will you not
help US? Unless something is speedily done
we shall have to abandon all our interior
work, which represents SO many years of
toll and sacrifice.
In our opinion the action required at this
time Is the appointment of a strong COM
mission, with such rank and authority as
Will enable them to try and fix the guilt of
the highest official. To punish a few coolies
Will be worse than useless. We must go TO
the source of these troubles, which is found
in some of the highest ficials in the en-
pire.

NAMES OF NEW STREETS.
Commissioners Powell Has q Very
COmme ble Plan.

COmmendable Plan.
For a long time the question of naming
the city streets, outside of the city proper,
has agitated the authorities It has been
hard problem to solve. Many schemes
have been presented, but all of them were
more or less defective. Major Powell has
given the matter his undivided attention
for some time, and he believes he has hit
upon plan which will not only please
every one, but be a credit to the city. He
has prepared three lists of names, from
which to select suitable names for new
street running parallel to lettered streets
inside the city. The first list comprises
distinguished Americans For instance, the
list, alphabetically arranged, gives the
names of prominent members of Congress,
members of the Continental Congress, chief
justices and associate justices of the
United States Supreme Court governors of
states, foreign ministers, Presidents, Sena-
tors. signers of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, Presidents and Vice Presidents
and Speakers of the House of Representa-
tives.
A second list gives alphabetically all of
the prominent Americans who have dis
ces.
The third list will contain euphonious In
dian names found in this country.
1t Is the intention of Maj. Powell to pro-
pose that after the boundary of the city
proper is passed, the next street shall be-
gin with the name, the first letter of which
shall correspond with the first letter of
the alphabet, and so. On until all of the let
ters of the alphabet. have been exhausted
The only question that is troubling the au-
thorities. is whether it is better to have
these names of one or two syllables. 1t has
been suggested that names Of one SYLLABLE
be used first, and If. the list is exhausted,
then commence on the two syllable names.
In this way a stranger at hearing the
name of the street can determine at once
from the oity.

A STANDARD WIDTH.

Commissioner POvelrs Idea About
Streets Extended Into the Suburbs,
The Commissioners have under ccnsidera-
tion most important question affecting
the width of streets extended on the lines
OF city streets. For soma time thers has
been good deal of complaint from one
source or another concerning the width of
these roadways, and Maj. Powell has been
enxi- IS to have the board adopt a width
whicn shall be standard, and which shall
DC strictly adhere 10. His idea Is to make
the roaiways all thirty-fva feet wide, and
WREN the board meets again the subject

NOT OFFERED FOR PROBATE.
Court Meets Without the Alleged Holt
VIII Being Mentioned

Will Being Mentioned.
There was meeting of the Probate Court
today. but no one appeared in court for the
purpose of Offering the mysteriously re-
ceived will of Judge Joseph Holt for pro-
bate. Nor did any one appear in court on
behalf OF the hers-at-law. So far as the
court Is concerned. there is no such instru-
ment as the will of February 7, 1873, be-
fore 1t, although the records of the office
or register of wills show, of course, that
tne alleged will was received there OH the
10Th OF last month. 1t is understood that
until the will is offered for probate no ac-
tion will be taken by the heirs-at-Iaw, and
IT Is believed that the delay of Executor
Luke Devlin in offering 1t for probate is
due to the fact that he and the two equal
beneficiaries under it-Miss Lizzie Hynes
and Miss Josephine Holt Throckmorton-
do not intend TO move in the matter until
they have secured all the testimony pos
sible in support of the will.

SUPPORT THE JOINT TICKET.
So Says Mr. II. L. B. Wells.

To the People of Sumte, County:
1t is evident to any unbiased mind that in
this county it is at this late day impossible to
get any expression from the people oo the
differences that now divide our people, as 90
arrangements have been made whereby they
cao pass their judgment.
While disapproving Of the manner in which
the convention sicke, has been forced on us,
there can be no question that two tickets at
the general election can only mean the suc'
cess of the Dsrgan ticket at the general
election, AID regard that as the greatest
evil that could befall Sumter county. |
therefore desire to say that conceive it the
duty of every white man of Sumter county
to go to the polls on election day anu see
that the joint ticket nominated yesterday is
elected beyond any dispute, and hereafter, if
deemed advisable, appeal to our people when
there can be no risk OF white supremacy to
justify the conduct Of all Of us who opposed
any division outside Of primary.
Respectfully,
H. l.. B. WELLS.
