Irreally looks like John d. White is
going to prove that he is fairly entitled to
the Congressional nomination in the
18th. Dissenting on the way he had
been euchered, he said TO an l. j. man:
"Thst fellow Hill," referring doubtless to
the chairman of the repub lean Congress
sionsl committee, sought to be in the
penitentiary. Though the law provides
differently he made me pay 1850 to enter
the primary election and then took my
money to Colson henchman, who sc-
knowledged to me he wasn't prepared to
print the ballots, got him to make mess
of it and then in numerous instances
failed to send enough ballots for the vo-
tiers, although the law provides that 90
per cent more than the number of voters
shall be furnished each polling place.
Especially was this true in Clay county.
/ know / shall be able to prove that hun
dreds of Tennessee people voted in Bel,
Knox, Whitley and Wayne, more than
enough to turn the majority to my side
by more than that claimed for Colson. F"
A bogus circular with his name to it was
distributed over the remote portions oi
the district when it was too late to coun-
teract it's effect, that he was bolter, that
in Congress be voted against seating Nc
Kinley, that he was for the repeal OF the
Jim Grow separate coach law, for mixed
schools and nearly everything else mean.
All these things have created sympa-
thy for Mr.. White, and his friends say he
shall have the nomination or he will run
the race out. With the ignoble means
adopted to defeat him, the machinery OF
the party against him and handicapped
in various ways, White certainly made a
most remarkable race to have gotten as
close to Coson as the committee says be
did, which shows how strong his hold is
upon the people OF the district.

Rum0r that Sir Julian P~auncefote Has
been Called to


WASHINGTON. March PA dispatch
from London says 1t is reported there that
the British ambassador, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote. viii shortly leave Washington for
London to discuss with the government
certain features of the Venezuelan ques-
ton. While persons at the British embassy
here directly concerned in the report decline
to talk on the subject, 1t is believed that the
report is not well founded. The sole reason
that could be adduced for the recall of the
ambassador at this time 10 London is that
his familiarity with the earlier phase or the
controversy arising from his treatment or
the subject while in the Foreign Office
might make his advice valuable in the
preparation of the historical case. II Is. not
perceived, however, why the ambassador
knowledge on this question could not be
awaited OF by the Foreign Office by means or
correspondence and the cables Besides. 1t
is probable that in Washington he is OF
much more service to his government in the
conduct of the negotiations than he would
be in London. This is particularly true at
the present moment when the negotiations
have reached such a state and are progress
sing with such smoothness as to justify the
belief that a satisfactory conclusion OF the
controversy may be expected within a rea-
sonably short period of time If there should
be no interruption such as might follow. the
absence of the British ambassador from
Washington, even temporarily.

ever since Mr.. Overstreet introduced 1t. and
has aided its passage in every way. A
number OF measures looking to much
needed reform In paying pensions were in
PRODUCED in the House by members. among
them a bill proposed by Deputy Commits

MAIDEN, Mass, March A.-By the kind
iy action of prominent citizens and the en-
treaties of Chief of Police Spaulding with
Captain Faulkner and Joe, the Turk" the
city of Maiden was saved tonight from
bloodshed and riot. The Salvation Army
war reached a crisis tonight. The people
commenced pouring into the city from sur
rounding towns and. gathering at the army
barracks, called to the army to come out
and parade and they would protect them.
Encouraged by the calls of the crowd be-
fore the barracks the army at last decided
to parade. At this point, amid great ex-
element, prominent citizens begged Capt.
Faulkner and 'Joe, the Turk" not to pa
rade. declaring that there would surely be
blo0dshed, which would forever disgrace
Maiden and the Salvation Army. Chief of
Police Spaulding also urged the army not
to go on parade, as the city was on the
eve of a riot. but IL they insisted on parad-
ing every member would be arrested if
the militia had to be called out to do il.
After a lengthy argument with the citizens
and officials, the Salvationists concluded not
to parade. Captain Faulkner declined an
offer of a license for future parades If they
would not carry the bass drum.

as is well known, had constant practice In

The truth, indeed, appears to be that sue

Though the work of collecting he Border

industry in perfecting his literary expression
was only rivaled by his genius.
Strikingly contrasted with this necessity
for industry have been the personal inca
