PARTY SUCCESS ABOVE PERSONAL
AMBITION.
AZ Appeal to Fourth (Ya } District
Republicans to Support Congressman
Thorp.
AN ADDRESS ISSU RED
BY MIR. JONES SATURDAY.
LONGER IN THE FIELD.

Hon R. T. Thorp. of the Fourth
Virginia District, was in the city on
last Saturday. He and Lawyer Jones
had an interview with the Congress
sional Committee in company with
Editor w. Calvin Chase of the BEE.
After some deliberation Mr.. Jones de-
cided that he would withdraw his
claims as candidate for Congress
from the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict of Virginia. Notwithstanding the
fact that Mr.. Jones name appears on
the official ballot, he urges his friends
and the republicans of his district to
vote for Mr. Thorp. The address is
as follows:
Washington, d. c., Oct. ~, 1898.
To the Republican voters of the
Fourth Congressional District of
Virginia:
1t is we'll known to you that | was a
candidate for the republican nOmina
tion for Congress in our district, and
sought the nomination at the Chase
City Convention. The delegates to
that convention divided and organized
two conventions, one nominating me;
the other nominating Hon. K. I.
Thorp.
The Republican Party is far greater
than either of us. The maintenance
of its asendency is of more Importance
than the success of any individual.
The question as to who is the regular
rs ha
been submitted to our hA hest party
authorities. The NatioI q Congress
sional Committee has decided that
the Hon. K I. Thorp is the re rular
legal nominee for Congress. He is rec
ognized as such by the national COM
mittee, presided over by the Hon. Nj.
A. Hanna, and is recognized by all
party authorities as the friend of the
national administration, In the success
of which all republicans are deeply
interested and feel d just pride.
While | am sincerely thankful to the
friends who have stood by me-my in
tereSt in the welfare of the Republ =.
can Party and my devotion TO its prin-
ciples will not permit me to stand in
the way of its success. | therefore
take this opportunity TO let the repub
Ii, an voters of our district know that
have Withdrawn, and do now retire
from the race for Congress, and call
upon all true republicans, especially
upon those who have heretofore favor
ed my candidacy, to go TO the oils on
November s, 1898, and cast their bal
lots for the Hon. K. I. Thorp, the
regular and only republican nominee
for Congress in our district While
my name wili necessarily appear upon
the official ballnt-it being now too
la to prevent this-1 trust you will
not vote for me. BY so doing you will
simply aid the democratic candidate.
MIR. Thorp is true republican, firm
supporter of the administration of our
President, and is gentleman in every
way worthy of your support. | pro-
pose to support him myself and urge
every republican in the district TO give
him their cordial support.

THE CARTER COURTMARTAL
Capt. Cassius E. Gillette on the
 Stand.
REClTED FACTS INCIDENT
To is Inspection of the Material for the Cumberland Island Work, and Said It
 Was Constructed Lightly.

Savannah, Ga., Jan. 14.-Capt. Cassius D. Gillette was the first witness in the Carter court-martial this morning. He was on the stand some time and testified as to the work under his supervision and relative to the method by which it was done by the Aelantic Contracting company. He told of the work on Cumberland sound being taken out of his jurisdiction. He recited the facts incident to his inspection of the material for the Cumberland Island work and said it was constructed slightly as it should have been. Before he could reply to a query from Judge Advocate Barr as to the probable cost of the material inspect ed, Carter's attorneys interposed an ob- jection to the question and it's relevancy was argued for some time. The court re- tired to consider the question, and decided 1t was relevant.
 General Otis announced that the court would not sustain the objection. The ques- ton as to the intrinsic value of the mat tress in question was then asked Captain Gillette again. He said it not up to specifications, and in his judgment cost the contractors from 10 to 15 cents square yard. The mattress in question measured about 5000 square yards more, and at the contract rate, Captain Gillette said, would cost the government about S3,60O. He also testified to having forbidden the use of certain stone which he said, accord ing to the reports of his inspector, did not come up to specifications Some brush was brought into court as evidence, it having come from the brush camps of the con- tractors. This, Captain Gillette said, was brought up by his orderS 1t was not fas- cines, he said, but was such material as had been used in some of the mattress by the contractors.
 The examination of Captain Gillette will be resumed tomorrow at Il o'clock.

CASSIUS CLAY'S
 WIFE SHOT AT Cell Richardson, Her Eldest Brother, the
 WOuld-Be Murderer. A GENERAL FAMILY ROW The Brother Also Tried to Kill His Moth er-in-LaW, Mrs. Bryant. MRS. CLAY'S YOUTHFUL LOVER Vim. Bryant, Was the Cause of the Trouble Other Brothers Hope to Patch
 Up the Pipe of
 Peace.

Valley View, Ky, Jan. A.-Gen Cassius M. Clay's young wife Dora, barely escaped death at 11:30 o'clock this morning at the hands of her brother Clell Richardson, at whose house she has been boarding ever since she left the general four months ago.. Richardson fired two shots at her with a pistol at distance of twenty paces, and he then fired shot at Mrs. John Bryant, his mother-in-law, who was with her. Dora Clay ran to the home of her sister, Mrs. Kelly, about mile distant, where she IS stopping tonight. Mrs. Bryant attempted to communicate with General Clay but failed. When Clell Richardson heard that Dora had gone to Mrs. Kelly's he sent Mrs. Kelly word that he would kill her if she allowed Dora to stay there tonight and he sent word to Dora that he would kill her unles she left her sister. Clells brothers, John and Tom Richardson, are guarding their sister tonight and swear they will kill Clell if he makes any att tempt to carry out his threat.
 Quarrel With Bryant.
 The shooting came up over Will Bryant Cell Richardson's brother-in-law, who has made Clells house his home for the past six months. Richardson has been sick for a week and while confined to his house he noticed that Bryant paid too much atten- tion to Dora Clay. He had a quarrel with Bryant yesterday and drove him away. Mrs. Bryant heard of the treatment her son had received and came to see Richardson this morning in order to persuade him to allow Will to return.
 She had long interview with Richard son but he would not agree to take her son and when Dora Clay spoke up in favor of young Bryant's return, Richardson grew angry and drove his mother-in-law and his sister from the house. Immediately after they had left he secured his revolver, and, going to the door, opened fire on them Richardson is a desperate character, and so far the officers have made no attempt to arrest him.

NEW HAND STAMP
For the Cancellation of Mail Matter Will Soon
 Be Introduced.

Washington, Jan. 14.-A new hand stamp to be used for the cancellation of mail matter will soon be adopted by the post office department. That now in use has been found to be unsatisfactory in several respects, the principal defect being that the impression made was not always com plete and clearly defined. Several months ago the department invited inventors to submit designs for the new stamps whose principal advantages should be in the di- rection of simplicity durability and cheap ness.
 In consequence about two hundred such designs were submitted. These have been under examination by committee consist ing of Alexander Grant, w. H. Lamar, and M. W. Lewis. They have agreed on the design which they think is best adapted for the use of the service and have made report to the postmaster-gencra The new stamp will be introduced grad uaily, taking the place of the old ones as fast as the department deems practica- be

THE BER|NG SEA AWARDS
Submitted to Congress by the President. LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL He Expressed the Hope That the Treaty Ob- Iigatons Be Settled and the Total
 Amount Be Reported.

Washington, Jan. H.-The president today submitted to the congress the awards and report of the commission appointed under the terms of the treaty of 1896 to adjust the claims of British subjects for losses sustained through the seizure of their seal ing vessels in Boring sea. In his letter of transmittal, the president says:
 "The report of the secretary of state pre- sents clear epitome of the award and rem ders unnecessary any extended observations on my part further than to say that cor- dialy coincide with the recommendation and that our treaty obligations demand prompt and favorable action by congress which l urgently hope may be taken, to the end that these long pending questions may be finally and satisfactorily terminated.
 "The total amount necessary to satisfy the award of the commissioners is S473, ,151 g, which I recommend be reported
 Secretary Shermans report sets out the appointment of the commissioners to ad- just the claims and submits list of the awards made showing in detail the amount allowed on account of each of the following named vessels:
 Carolina, Thornton, Onward, Favourite,
 
 Dolphin, Ada, Triumph, Juanita, Pathfind- CT, Black Diamond, Lily, Ariel, Kate, Min ne, Winnifred, Henrietta and Oscar and Hattie. The principal of the claims for vessels allowed amounts to $264, ,1SS91 and interest on this sum is allowed to the amount of $149, ,79O36, making the total al lowed $413 979.27. The personal claims with interest swell this total to $463, ,454.27. Then the correspondence shows further al lowance was made on account of the Black Diamond and on the claim of James Gaud- in mate of the Ada, two claims which had been originally thrown out by the commis- sions on the ground of lack of jurisdiction, but which were afterwards admitted to consideration on the joint application of Secretary Olney and Sir Julian Paunce- forte The admission of these two claims raised the total of the claims, and interest allowed to the sum mentioned by the presi- dent, namely $473, ,151.26.
 Secretary Sherman makes the point in his letter to the treaty under which the awards were made requires that the appropriation shall be made to pay them within six months after the ascertainment of the full amount.

TRIPLE MURDERER HANGED.
Deputies Had to Produce Pistols to Keep Back
 the Crowd.

Richmond, Va, Jan. 1A-Archie Lockeley, colored, a triple murderer, was hanged at King and Queen court house today. There was large crowd at the court house and the sheriff and his deputies had to produce pistols to prevent some of those present from forcing their way into the enclosure around the scaffold. Lockeley showed great nerve to the last. The trap was sprung al 12:21 o'clock and death was instantaneous. Lockeley made full confession.
 Lockeley had been living for several years with Ellen Chapman, and on Oct. 12, last, went to her house and quarrel ensued which ended in fight. When the woman s nephew, George Lee, started for an officer, Lockeley seized a gun and shot him. He then shot Eddie Chapman, and he saw the woman trying to make her escape, he shot

candidacy of any western man, especially MT. Bryan, by espousing at this time the principles of the Chicago platform, laid down in 1896. MT. Hill hopes to have as his friends those in the south who championed his cause before the Chicago convention of 1892
 It is more than two years before the next national convention, but political plans are already being made for that event. Mr. Croker, who has already groomed Van Wyck for the race in 1900, believes now that he is able to break down Senator Hill in the forthcoming state campaign.
 Will Kick on Hill.
 There are thousands of democrats who followed the late Henry George and also thousands of others who do not take kindly to MT. Hills assumption of power again. They recognize the fact that he took no part in the last presidential campaign, and because of that he is entitled to no consideration in the future. If he had been favorable to MT. Bryan at that time, he should have said so and not sought refuge at the historic woolfort's Roost. Thousands of democrats throughout the state who supported the Chicago platform two years ago are, IL IS Sdlus uilWliliIiS lo tiiioH aside the gentleman who championed that cause, for MT. Illl who sulked in his tent during the entire battle.
 Wheels Within Wheels.
 There are more combinations in the poli- tics of the state of New York than in any ten states of the union. It can be said most truthfully that a strong combina- ton is now at work to defeat the nomina- tion of any western candidate. Whether Mir. Hill makes friends or enemies of the leaders of tine party in this state, they are planning in all conceivable ways to bring before the country rival candidate against any man the west may put up. MT. Bryan is, of course, looked upon as the logical candidate to come out of the west. Therefore all the planning is directly against him. It will be well to keep an eye on the political movements of David Bennett Hill.

Washington, Jan 1.-The house mana- gers decided not to proceed with the conA sideration of the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill today, but to give the day for the consideration of private bills. This was doubtless done to avert the possi- bility of precipitating sensational Cuban debate during the consideration of the ap- propriation bill. Infiammatory speeches during the present critical state of affairs in Havana would, the conservative leaders believe, be particularly unfortunate. When the house adjourned last night the amend- ment to the agricultural appropriation bill providing for the publication of another edition of "Horse Book was pending. To- day the friends of the amendment compro- missed with the appropriation committee by agreeing to reduction of the number to be printed from 150,0OO to 75,0O0.
