THOMAS F. RYAN
Granted Leave to File Amended and
 Supplemental Bill

Portsmouth, Va. October 16.-(Special)- In the Circuit Court of the United States for the eastern district of Virginia in the case of Thomas F. Ryan vs. John Skelton Williams ct al, on the motion of the plain tiff to file an amendment and supplemental bill, Judge Waddill handed down the fol- lowing decision:
 'The matter presented for the considera- ton of the court is whether or not the plaintiff should have leave to file an amend
 ed and supplemental bill in this cause without passing upon any other question determining the sufficiency or insufficiency of any pleading presented. I think the plaintiff should have leave to file this sup plemental amended as prayed for. the same when filed to be subject to all proper objec-' ton to be taken thereto by exception de- murrer plea or other proper defense, and it will be so ordered"
 The counsel for plaintiff filed eight de- murrers, which were set down for argument some day during the first week in Decem- Der. Before the decision was announced, counsel for the plaintiff moved to reject or to strike from the records the affidavits, reference to which has been the subject of newspaper comment upon the ground that the same was injected in the record without notice to defendantJ counsel and without their having had opportunity to examine the same and ascertain its purport. The court, while reser7ipg a final decision in- timated that as the affidavit was presented and referred to in the argument and the in- troducton Was not objected to by counsel for defendants at the hearing on the 2Ith of September. and as it was marked filed by the clerk, it was not clear how 1t could be rejected but that it could by no pos sibility play any part in the case, that no court would read consider it, and 1t could have no bearing whatever in the final determination of the case upon its merits.
 The court also intimated thd had objec- ton been made at the time it NS-s handed | the court, it would in all probability have been rejected as rrevalent, etc. The court postponed the final decision that counsel on either side might file notes.

NEWS CONFIRMED
Chang Yen Hon Executed by Order of
 Empress Dowager

Washington. October 16-Confirmation has been received here of the reported ex- ecution on July 20 of Chang Yen Hon, the former Chinese minister to the United States. Chang was a loyal adherent of the Emperor and a warm supporter of the latter's reform movements. When the Elm press Dowager supplanted the Emperor two years ago he was banished to Nebradoo, but through the intervention of the Ameri- can and British ministers his punishment was commuted to banishment in the dis tant province of Kashgar1a. It now ap- pears that the Empress Dowager, taking advantage of the late reign of terror at Pekin and knowing Chang's influence with the Emperor, ordered his execution. Chang was considered one of the ablest men in China. He had been decorated by the Queen of Great Britain and by the Emper- DTS of Russia and Germany.
 He was pre-eminently the most liberal and enlightened of Chinese statesmen, and had his life been spared till the occupation of Pekin by the allies, he doubtless would have been recalled and would have taken an active part in the pending negotia tions and future government of China

 T have discussed that matter with a man that probably knows more about it than my friend over here in the audience who asked that question of Governor Oates the other day, and made him pretty sick of it. You contend that you must first organize and then find out who you are. I contend you must find out who you are and then organize. In other words if your theory is correct at a Democratic convention, a Re- publican can walk up and take the chair and say your whole crew are not entitled to seats; 1 won't enroll you; but if Dem ocratic convention had the power they will take that Republican by the nap of the neck and cast him out. Don't tell me in a Democratic country, don't tell me in the face of intelligent Democrats like these I see before me- that anybody can be made chairman and that chairman can determine who shall compose the convention, but rather tell me that when the convention has assembled it will determine who its chairman shall be-"

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Is Not What Makes a Remedy Valuable

Testimonials are good things and we are
 always glad to get them, but they don't
 make our remedy any better.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are good be-
 cause they do good-because they cure.
 Testimonials simply prove that the tab-
 lets have helped other people, but it's your
 self you are most interested in, and
 wheth they will cure you is the question:
 It is very easy to find out-try them. A
 full package costs but fifty cents at your
 druggists They are worth that # they
 only help you a little bit The chance iS
 worth taking at the price.
 We put it on that basis because you don't
 know about the tablets. If you knew as
 much about them as we do you would have
 complete confidence; this advertising wouia be unnecessary. We have seen them cure
 the worst cases of stomach trouble. Cases
 o1 long standing and obstanacy, cases that other medicines and even high priced doc- tors had failed to subdue. tg.5s Here are some testimonials If you care to read them We have thousands them: Rev. J. R. Hoag of Wymore, Nebraska, writes: For six years I have been troubled with dyspepsia Last fall 1 became very | much alarmed at some symptoms of heart | trouble and came to believe there was 1 sympathetic relation between the two dis
 cases, or rather, that the stomach trouble | was the cause of the heart disturbance. l l hit upon Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for a | remedy and invested a dollar and half for three boxes, which lasted me three mouths, and can eat any kind of food want and have good, vigorous appetite. | Although I am v years old, l now feel | perfectly well, and without being requested 1 by any one I make this statement as. com- | piimept to the virtues of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 | Mrs. Lydia Bartram of Assyrfa, Mich, writes: 1 have suffered from stomach l trouble for ten years, and five different 1 doctors gave me only temporary relief A l MT E. R. Page advised me to try Stuart s ! Dyspepsia Tablets and four boxes did me l more permanent benefit than all the doc i tors medicines that have ever taken We honestly believe that Stuarts Dys- 1 pepsia Tablets are the best me..cine ever l rrade for the cure of stomach troubles l Don't mistake our meaning. We don't l claim them to cure anything but dyspepsia | and stomachic disorders. Just the one thing
 Is what they are made for. but that one l tfing is the cause.-the starting point of | nearly all the sickness in the world. l Use Stuarts Tablets regularly. Keep l your stomach right, and you can never be l sick

WASHINGTON OFFICIALS
Not Surprised by Russias Attitude To-
 wards China

Washington october 16.-The cable mes- sage from St. Petersburg indicating that Rusias attitude in China will be indepen- dent of the concert of the powers, caused no surprise among officials here It was noted when the aggressive military move ment was begun by Germany and the ex- petition against Pao Ting Flu started, that Russia was among the powers which did not join in the movement.
 The dispatch from St. Petersburg is looked upon as merely another step similar to that taken when Russia withheld her support from the Pao Ting Flu expedition and other aggressive military movements. Moreover, 1t is regarded as quite in con- sonance with the pacific tendencies of this government, which have been directed all along to securing a settlement by diplo- matic means rather than by the sword.

FORCED TO RETREAT
 AT BAYONET POINT
(ContInued From First Page.)

 >---~--~--o~-~->~----~---- -->->@---------->-~ which has been stationed at Shenando for three weeks.
 Eight companies of the regiment left Shenandoah at 1:20 a. m., leaving two com- panies behind. Brigadier-General Gobin was in command. On their arrival at Coal Dale three companies under command of Colonel O'Neill, were sent out to meet the southside marchers. Three companies were left at Coal Dale, while two companies, under command of General Gobin, came here. When the soldiers had driven the strikers over the mountain, a company was sent back to Coal Dale, where the soldiers were loaded on coal cars and sent to Tamaque to quell any disturbance the scattering min CTS might stir up there.
 Further along the road a company was deployed to protect coliiery while the marchers were passing it, and later it was sent to Tamapua and the three companies combined in the latter town, and soon had the marchers well scattered. While all this had been going on the northside merchants had everything their own way in the Nes- quehoning valley.
 They reached there after o'clock and succeeded in persuading enough men to remain away from the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company's No. 1 colliery to compel it's shut down.
 General Gobin sent two companies of sol- diers over there and soon had order re- stored.
 Superintendent w. D. Zeehns of the com pany stated to a representative of the As sociated Press that if Sheriff Brislin Of Carbon County, in which the colliery is To- cated had performed dis duty in a proper manner the Nesquehoning colltery would not have been shut down. Mir. Zeehner said the remaining nine collieries of the company are working most of them full handed.
