Walker and Rhea Discuss at Pulaski.

Gen. Walker and Judge Rhea had an
other joint discussion at Pulaski on Mon
day. From accounts, ali that we have be-
ing in Democratic papers, the discussion
must have been a heated one. Gen.
Walker opened the debate and Rhea
closed it. The Bristol Tribune, Rhea's or
gan, claims great victory, but from the
accounts of the correspondents of the
Richmond Dispatch and Richmond
Times, both Of them Democratic papers,
the report of the Tribune is as greatly exag-
geratlon as were the accounts sent out to
Democratic papers from Lebanon and
Gate City. From the account of the
Tribune one would be led to think that
Gen. Walkers speech was failure; but
the Dispatch correspondent was fair
enough to say: "He discussed ably the
issues of the day, especially the currency
question and the war;" The correspon-
dent of the Times says; Walkers speech
was strong Republican argument for
high tariff and the gold Standard
Both correspondents agree that the dis
cussion was q very bitter one and that
there would have been fight if it had not
been for the influence of leading RepubIi-
cans and Democrats.
They say both sides claimed the victory
With this statement from Democratic COR
respondents the Republicans will rest sat

Event of Trouble.

Washington, October 3,-The State De-
partment has received the following cable
gram from Minister Conger, at Pekin:
"There is no serious danger yet, but
considerable anxiety for the future. The
foreign feet is assembling at Tien-Tsin.
Some of the ministers are ordering marines
to Pekin for legation guard"
Washington, October 3.-Secretary Long
upon advices received at the State Depart
ment showing the extent Of threatening
conditions in China, has ordered Admiral
Dewey to send two warships Immediately
from Manila to a point as near the Chinese
capital as possible for warship to ap-
proach. The vessels selected for this un-
dertaking are the Baltimore aud the Pc
trel 1t is expected that the Baltimore
will not be able to get beyond the Tsku
forts, at the entrance of the Pang- He river,
upon which Pekin is situated, but the Pet
rel, being Of smaller proportions, may be
able to reach Hen Tsin, eighty miles above
the mouth and about the same distance
below Pekin.
Secretary Long said that the sole pur-
pose of ordering the Baltimore and Petrol
to Tien Tsin is to safeguard and TO protect
life and property Of American citizens in
the event of an outbreak in the interior,
Tien Tsin being the nearest point to Pekin
accessible to warships.

SYNOD ADI0URNS.
Its Work Was Completed on Friday
Night.

The Synod Of the Presbyterian Church
of Virginia, which convened at this place
on Tuesday of last week, concluded its
work on Friday night, after most pleas
ant and interesting session. There was not
as large attendance of delegates as was ex-
pected and the town and community en-
tertained the crowd with perfect ease and
comfort Most of the ministers and ell
ders Who were in attendance looked upon
the green hills and fertile valleys of Taze-
well county for the first time. The grandeur
of the scenery, the fertility of the soil, the
magnificent grass and the splendid cattle
were marvel to them. Of course they
were pleased with our people, and had
nothing but words Of praise for the refined
and abundant hospitality extended them.
On Saturday morning most Of the dele
gates left on a special train at 1880 o'clock
for Bluefeld. Others followed on the af-
ternoon train and few remained over
Sunday, departing for their homes on Mon
day.
On Sunday morning Rev. A. NJ. Fraser,
of Staunton, preached at the Methodist
church. His theme was the conversation
between the two thieves on the cross and
the memorable words of Christ to the pen
itent thief, extending pardon and promised
life because of his confession of guilt and
pies for mercy. The sermon was very
fine one-original in treatment of the text
and full Of spiritual truth. Mr.. Fraser
preached at the Baptist church at night.
Rev. Donald Guthrie, ofRichmond, Va,
assistant Of DR.. Moses Hoge, preached in
the Presbyterian church at morning and
night on Sunday. He was greeted on
both occasions by large congregations, and
those who heard him were greatly edited.
He is pronounced a very promising minis
ter in the church.

Bryan Coming to Virginia.

Washington, October 3.-Colonel Will
liam j.. Bryan left here today, after stay
of ten days, during which he talked with
the President and the War Department Of
ficials concerning the future of his regi-
ment, and incidentally suffered from a
touch of malarial fever. The colonel
looked quite recovered from his illness.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Bryan, who
will 90 with him for short rest in Vir-
ginia and then to Florida, where Colonel
Bryan rejoins his regiment. A day will be
spent at Culpepper, Va, and several days
at Hot Springs, Va, the plan being to
reach Florida next Saturday. Colonel
Bryan had heard nothing final as to the
disposition of his regiment up to the time
of his departure.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

1t is now stated that Col. William Jen-
nings Bryan is not anxious to have his
regiment mustered out of service. Per-
haps he recognizes the situation and sees
that free silver Will receive another crush
ing defeat this Fall, and he does not wish
to be in the hing to share the shame of its
defeat.
President Mckinley has announced his
determination to have no more troops
mustered out until the situation is cleared
up.
1t is curious fact that Senator Jones,
chairman of the national Democratic
party, in his estimates of the Democrats
who will be elected to the next House of
Representatives places the Populist candi-
dates along with the Democratic candi-
dates. Is this not confession that the
party is now the popocratic party?
Mr.. D. C. O'Flsherty, who is now
mayor of Front Royal, Va, and brilliant
young lawyer will run against Hay, the
Democratic candidate for Congress in the
Seventh District. Mr.. O'Flaherty is a
sound money Democrat. The Repub-
licans of that district declined in conven-
ton to nominate candidate. They ought
to support Mr.. O'Flaherty.
The Bristol News Gays Judge Rhea, in a
speech in front of the court house at that
place, on election day in 1883, said, "the
Republican party is composed of white ne
groes and black negroes, and that the
white negroes were d-n sight worse
than the black onesl" This was said
while he was enjoying the emoluments of
an Office he had sought and received from
the people he was abusing. What Repub.
lican in 1898 will be SO mean as to vote for
the man who gave utterance to such a
foul-mouthed denunciation of the party
while eating the bread and butter Repub-
licans had given him.
In his testimony before the investiga-
ton committee General Wheeler talks like
soldier and patriot. He does not de-
scend to the low partisanry of the average
Democratic politician, who tries to reap
some advantage for his party by CRITICS.
ing the conduct of the war.
From the accounts given by the CORE
spondents of the Dispatch and Times Of
the discussion at Pulaski, we are of the
conviction that Gen. Walker gave Rhea q
hammering that the button distributor
will not forget.

Tells His and Deweys Views to Com
misslOners.

Paris, October 4.-The American peace
commissioners devoted today's session to
a conference with Major General Merritt,
who detailed his personal views and those
of Rear Admiral Dewey regarding the
physical geography, moral and political
conditions prevailing in the Philippine Is
lands. General Merritt's exposition of
his personal views and judgment of the
Philippine Islands was not finished today.
He will meet the commission again to-
morrow, when he will continue to dis
charge his errand here.
President Montero Rios, of the Spanish
commission, and his colleagues were busy
today with telegraphic and other cores
pondence. Senor Rios denied himself Of
all callers. A newspaper, the Petit Bleu,
this morning declares it has authority for
the statement that it has been decided
that an adjustment relative to Cuba will
be first discussed at the next meeting,
owing to incidents which have recently
taken place in the Philippine Islands. The
same newspaper remarks that Senor Rios

Regulars in Bad Shape,

Admission, Ala, October 3.-Lieutenant
Colonel Marion P, Maus, inspector general
of General Miles staff, spent the day here
inspecting the First and Second Regular
Infantry, which have been designated as
part of the army of occupation which goes
to Cuba about October Goth. Colonel
Maus found these regiments, which were
in all the fighting around Santiago, and
which came here recently from Montauk
Point, SO badly broken up, both mentally
and physically, that he will advise against
their going until they get in better shape,
and other regiments will undoubtedly be
named in their stead for the first expedi'
ton.

Surface says that he heard noise like

between fifty and seventy-fve dollars.
Up to this time no tlace of the robbers
has been found, but it is Lardly likely
