member OF that body at the session
OF 1GS-'79, and in 1881 his constituents
again returned him. During the read
justment period there were many big and
exciting debates in both branches OF the
General Assembly, particularly In the
House OF Delegates. and In many OF
these discussions Mr.. Mushbach took 2
leading part.
His career In the House won him repu-
tation, and in 1892 the Democracy OF the
Alexandria district demanded his SER
vices In the Senate. and sent him to that
body to succeed that brilliant young Nir-
ginian, Hon. II. Walton Moore, OF Fair
fax, who declined reelection.
In addition TO being prominent and ac-
tive in political matters, Senator Musu-
bach has always taken lively interest
in military affairs. He Is captain OF the
Alexandria Light Infantry, and has been
at the head of this well-known military
company since 1888. He is the Oldest cap

volunteers, and his company has visited

BUFFALO BILLS SHOW
1t Will Closely Follow the Coming;
Encampment.

Buffalo Bill is coming! The hero of
the plains will be here Sept 16 and II
to remind all Of the old frontier days.
Encircling the story Of his advertur-
Gus career is a halo Of romance that
would seem utterly fictitious but for the
many marvellous facts which go to
make up the surprisingly strange his
! tory of the pioneer days of our great
country. Buffalo Bills career has been
long series Of adventures and
achievements, most novel and most
notable, because only made possible
under conditions peculiar to the pro-
gress and development Of a new, vast
and magnificent country like this Yes,
Buffalo Bill, the hero Of many des-
perate Indian fight, the undaunted
leader Of many dangerous scouting
expedition, Is coming, bringing with
him the great Wild West exhibition
/ that has thrilled millions Of spectators
with it's startling realism and it's
amazingly faithful reproduction Of stir
ring scenes from life on the plains,
with all its dangers, vicissitudes, and
constantly changing conditions. Since
his achievements as scout and from
tiersman, Col. Cody or, as he is better
known, Buffalo Bill, has made still
vaSter conqueSts and gained still high
er renown in the fields of peaceful
conquest. He has entertained and en-
Hghtened civilized Europe by his faith
full reproductions Of the Wild Western
life Of this broad continent, and given
immense audiences of foreigners across
the Atlantic instruction as well as
amusement of a higher and better char
acter than ever they had known be-
fore. This mission he continued at
the worlds fair in 1893 and in 1894 in
New York, and still his work is by no
means ended, for again he is in the
saddle and rides this way with his
cohorts Of Indians, cowboys, Cossack5,
vaqueros, cuirassiers, lancers, uh-
lans and Dragons; for, in addition to
the picturesque and comprehensive de-
lineation of Wild West life, he exenl-
plifies the manners and methods of
the daring and dexterous trained
horsemen of all the great nations of
the world. With Col. Cody, besides
his old partner, Nate Salisbury, is as
ISOLATED another most successful man
ager, Mr.. James "A. Bailey, now and
for so many years identified with Bar
NUNS show and Its triumphs That
this remarkable trio have planned
prodigious entertainment hardly re-
quires affirmation to secure immedi-
ate belief. Few, indeed, will doubt
that they have arranged for an enter
tainment of the very highest and most
complete grade both for amusement
and instruction

Formal Reception of the Chinese
Envoy.

NEW YORK, Aug. Ell Hung
Chang arose at o'clock this morning.
His first caller was eX-Secretary John
w. Foster, between whom and the
Chinese ambassador a strong friend
ship has existed, especially since Mr.
Fosters mission to the East during
the Japanese-Chinese war Another
caller was Van Phou Lee, who was
sent here by the Chinese government
as a student in 1873. He presented an
invitation from the governor of Ten
nesSee to visit Nashville on his way
West. The report that the ambassador
and the Russian minister had a con-
ference last night, was confirmed this
morning by Edward R. Drew, the COM
missioner of customs, in the Chinese
service. Mr.. Drew would say nothing
as to what had passed between his
eXcellency and the minister. The pro-
gramme for today was presented to
Earl Ii. By it he found the great
feature of the day was to be his re.
ception by President Cleveland at the
residence of William Whitney.
Ii Hung Chang and Secretary Olney
exchanged visits in the hotel, after
which they proceeded together to the
Whitney residence, escorted by a troop
of the Sixth cavalry. The reception by
the president was quite simple in
character and lasted only 25 minutes.
Among those present were Secretary
of State Olney, Secretary of the Treas
-ury Carlisle, Secretary of War Lamont
and Assistant Secretary of State Rock
hill.
The ball room, in which the presi-
dent received the Chinese ambassador
was decorated with American and
Chinese flags. When Earl Ii entered,
he seemed to recognize President
Cleveland at once, and kept his eyes
upon him as he advanced. Secretary
Olney formally presented the distin-
guished visitor to the president The
latter bowed and extended his hand
which was grasped by Earl Ii, who
then began his address. He said:
Your Excellency, 1t affords me great pleas
ure to have the honor to be presented to your
excellency. The reputation of your highly
esteemed virtue is widely known throughout
the world, and in you the citizens of the
United States OF America have invariably
placed their confidence, consequently, both the
lations of this great republic are in state
of prosperity. II will always be the desire
of my august master, the emperor of China
y TO maintain the most cordial relations with
America, whose friendly assistance rendered
to the government Of China after the Chino
Japanese war and whose protection for the
safety of the Chinese immigrants to America
are always to be highly appreciated.
am now specially appointed by my august
master the emperor of China, to present to
your excellency the assurances of his most
friendly feelings towards the United States of
America, in the hope that your exceIlency
will reciprocate his sentiments between our
two countries for the cause OF human kind.
/ trust that your excellency's government will
continue to afford protection and kind treat
ment to the Chinese immigrants in America,
