Confidently Expects Victory in Novem-
Der Election.
For the Knoxville Sentinel's cam
paign edition, issued Saturday, Chair
mau Jones wired the following from
Chicago:
Conditions are excellent and I
think are improving daily. We have
a thorough and compact organiza-
ton. Democracy is thoroughly
aroused.
Reports from New York and Ohio
are especially encouraging. Reports
from the chairman of the central
committee in California indicate that
our chances to carry that state are
good. The state committee here is
confident OF carrying the state.
"While, of course, we have a fight
in Indiana, our people do not believe
it possible for the republicans ito
make any material impression lin
thai state. Hence 1 confidently pre-
dict that Mr.. Bryan will be triumph
antly elected on the 9th OF Novem-
her,"

Kruger's Flight.

Mr.. Kruger was secretly taken on
board the Dutch cruiser GeIderland,
at Lorenzo Marques, Friday, on
which vessel he is to sail for Hol-
land. The reason given for Mr..
Kruger's embarkation is that he
feared the Beers here would attack
him. The feelings OF the refugees
against Mr.. Kruger for fleeing from
the country are very strong.
