Judge Campbell Says Announcement Was
Premature.

Judge Campbell Says Announcement Was
Premature.
Greeneville, Oct. 6.-Hon. H. Tyler
Campbell has been in Greeneville all
week holding the regular fall term OF
court. and your correspondent inter
viewed him yesterday upon the subject
of his congressional aspirations. The
Judge was asked the direct question.
"Have you made any announcement
yet as to your intentions in the con-
gressional racer" And the answer
came quick aud sharp: 'No, l have
not" The question, care you ready
to make any announcement, judge?'
followed. and the reply was II am not
ready now to make any declaration or
announcement. This interview, it
seems, ought to be sufficient to decide
that the reports as they have appeared
in the papers are not true, which have
announced the Judge as a candidate.
From former interview your cores
pondent thinks that it is possible that
the Judge will come out for the race,
and the fact that he did not deny any
intention as to the future rather gives
color to the supposition that when the
time comes, his name will be given to
the public for their decision. AS far as
Congressman Brownlow's record goes,
it is very fair as a representative of the
people, and especially will he be strong
in Sullivan county on account of the
location of the government building II
Bristol. But Brownlow's weak point
is the money question. He is known
to be notably weak on the currency is
sue and has never, to the knowledge
of the writer, declared straight out fol
the clause upon money in the republi
can national platform. For this reason
it will not be surprising if this SHOULD
be the issue upon which Judge Camp
bell will stand. He is beyond doub
fairly and squarely standing on the ma
tional platform, and has, therefore,
right to the consideration of the repub
lican party in the district.

There is O possibility that Anmlral

date for president, next year, instead
Of President Mckinley. movement
has been started by prominent repub-
licans which has that object in view,
under certain contingencies. Admiral
Dewey has not been consulted and has
nothing whatever to do with it. The
men in this movement are not after
honoring Admiral Dewey or turning
Mr.. Mckinley down. They are after
keeping the republican party in power
for another presidential term. they
are afraid that Hannaism and Alger-
ism will handicap Mr.. Mckinley to
such an extent that it will be impossi-
BILE to re.elect him. Their idea is to
get as many prominent party men as
possible to agree that if after looking
carefully over the ground, Mckinley 8
reelection should be thought doubt
full, they will nominate. Dewey, with
or without Mr.. McKinley's consent.
The success of this movement will de-
pend largely upon the outcome OF the
next campaign against the Filipinos; II
the war over there isn't ended soon,
Mr.. Mckinley will be still further
handicapped.

to decide-the suspense made some Of

performance the "coons" went to the

and devoured freezer of ice cream
with it. The entertainment was a
pleasing and financial success.

That Imperialism is costly, will be
shown by the estimates which will be
submitted to congress for approprla-
tions necessary for the army and navy
for the fiscal year beginning July lst'
1900. Although all the estimates OF
the war department are not complete
enough is known to make it certain
that the aggregate amount that will be
asked for the support of the army and
navy for the coming session OF con-
gress will reach, and probably exceed
1900, OOO, 900, which will be about $9.65,
or so. 20 per capita. War Department
officials say the total amount will be
considerably reduced, if the war in the
Philippines is brought to a close, be,
fore the appropriations are made, but
that is very doubtful, in a double sense.
1t is doubtful whether the war over
there viii be ended by that time, and
doubtful, even il it should be, whether

lose any time in beginning criminal
proceedings against those who were
engagediwith Capt. Carter in the harbor
work at Savannah. Action toward this
end has already been taken.
The men lately associated with Car
ter in the conspiracy to defraud the
government are now under surveil-
lance by secret service men, and will be
kept sight until the department of JUS
tice is ready to begin legal action.
The attorney generals examination
of the case has been much wider than
was necessary to support the convic-
ton of Carter. He has reviewed the
matter in all its ramifcations with q
view to bringing civil proceedings
against all concerned in the conspiracy,
The men involved in the charges

against Carter are John F. Gaynor,
William 7. Gaynor, Edward Fl. Gay
nor, B. D. Greene, and Arson M.
Bangs. These include the men alleged
to be concerned in the Atlantic Con-
tracing Company, with which Garter
is said to have conspired.
Arrangements are being made ct the
war department to carry into effect that
part of the sentence which provides
that Carriers shame shall be published
in the newspapers nearest his home,

the general order reciting his disgrace

the American army on the islands can
be materially reduced for a long time
afterwards, if our present policy is to
be continued. Every government that
has tried to govern alien beople by
force has found it expensive, and there
are no good reasons for believing that
the experience of this country will diff

Although he has more than once de-
clared that he would not accept the
nomination for Vice President, it has
all along been believed in Washington,
that Gov. Teddy was after that very
nomination, and Boss Platt, who is
anxious to get him out of New York
politics, was actively assisting him.
The announcement that Roosevelt was
to make flying trip through Nebras-
ka, speaking almost continually from
the rear platform of his train, has add
ed strength to that belief. Republicans
who know the situation in Nebraska,
are preparing a soft spot to fall on by
saying that State pride in Col. Bryan
may cause the state to go anti-republl-
can. In view of Col. Bryan's enthusi-
astic reception in the state, the use Of
may" is really considerate on the part
Of those who know that the republicans
are practically certain of defeat in the
state. In addition to Roosevelt, they
are trying to get Mr.. Mckinley to &C
to Omaha while he is in the West, os
tensibly to review the First Nebraakf
Volunteers, recently returned from the
Philippines, but really to try to stir III

The concert given by the Brabson

Thursday evening at the Opera House,
drew the largest audience Of the sea-
son. Every seat in the house was TAX
en- and it was a most select audience.
The band is one of the best in the state
and the program was not only classic
but each number was rendered in such
pleasing manner as to captivate the
audience, and the band had to respond
to repeated encores. The maid OF
Honor" waltzes, by Prof. I, Jesse
Dolby, deserve special mention. Prof.
Dolby is q splendid musician and has
gathered into his band number of
young men with talent and they can
delight any people with their efforts,
THE CAKE WALK
was a prominent feature of the evening
and called forth almost continuous
rounds of applause, The "coons"
were all "highborn" ladies and gen.
tlemen and were cake walk artists with
few equals and no superiors. The cake
to be awarded was baked by Miss An
ME Miller and was an immense bundle
of chocolate goodness weighing 20
pounds. As soon as the cake was
wheeled upon the stage the "nigger"
heels behind the scenes began to tim
gle and their palates began to dampen.

decide the contest H. l.. Williams, OF

timated that the amount involved in
said suit is $4,000
The ground for the suit appears to be
about this. Many years ago, in the
fifties, Mr.. s. l.. Kings grandfather,
Rev. James King, who then owned all
of the meadow upon which Bristol,
Tennessee and Virginia has since been
built, decided this land now in litiga-
ton, to the Virginia and Tennessee
Railroad, afterward the Atlantic, Mis-
sissippi & Ohio under General Malone,
and now the Norfolk & Western. It
seems that the deed states that Che land
was to be used by this company for its
railway purpose only, and when any
part thereof was not necessary for said
railway usages, the donor or his heirs
were to be entitled to the use Of such
part Of said land as was not actually
required for said road or its successors
use. Itappears that there is such land
now in disuse. Also some of said land
is now being leased to other roads and
corporations Bristol News.

The state of ex-Secretary John Sher-

administration as an excuse for his
having been absolutely ignored in the
Dewey ceremonies, but the old gentle
man has given out vigorous interview
against the suggestion that the United
States should attempt to mediate be-
tween England and the Transvaal Re
public to prevent the war which now
seems almost certain to come, which
shows that his intellect is still in good
working order. The Transvaal au-

move when they selected Col. j. r.
