ALLEGED COVERT ATTACK.


PORTSMOUTH. Va. Aug. 21.-It is gen.
orally accepted as a fact among the South
ern cotton mill men hat the cotton mill
men of New England, who have been most
seriously affected by the great increase of
cotton mills in the South. are aiding in the
organization of the Southern employees.
The mill owners in the South charge that
this sudden interest in the welfare of their
employees is really a covert attack on the
Southern mills by attempting TO create
dissatisfaction among the operatives. The
mill owners are opposing the organization
and several strikes nave developed as a
result in the North Carolina mills. One
hundred and fifty union operatives, who
left the Erwin cotton mills at Durham,
are yet out. Other union operatives who
did not strike will work out their notices.
President Erwin of this mill notified them
that no union men would be employed, and
gave them two weeks notice. Union
operatives at the Pearl mill at Durham
have decided not TO strike for the present.
Union organizers have gone from Durham
to Haw River TO organic the operatives
i'm former Governor Hollis mills. They
have been quietly at work on this move
ment in North Carolina mills for months.
The movement ostensibly was inaugtrated
by New England labor unions to get all
the operatives in Southern mills in the
union.

KENTUCKY PROHIBITIONIsTs.
Convention Developed a Split
on State Issues.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 21.-The state
Prohibition convention was held here to-
day with about fifty delegates in attend
ance. Many of them were women. John
d. White, former Republican congressman
from the Eleventh district, said he could
not support Mckinley or Yerkes; declared
that the log cabin of the party is the
bulwark OF assassination, and proclaimed
that the canteen is a greater curse to the
country than the Goebel law is to Ken
ucky.
H.. NJ. Winslow, a member of the resolu-
lions committee, said that the issue in Ken
lucky this year was more important even
than prohibition. He said the issue this
year was whether or not the people of Ken
lucky should have the right to vote and
have their votes counted. He SAID the only
way to save. the State was to defeat the
Democratic ticket and that the Prohibition
party should not nominate a candidate,
but should indorse Mr.. Yerkes. He said:
while L cannot supper Mr. Mckinley
for President, yet L think L must vote for
fraud at the polls" He then moved that
the party indorse Mr.. Yerkes instead of
making a nomination.
Mr.. Winslow's motion precipitated a de-
cided wrangle. Delegate Demaree asked
him IL he proposed to vote for Yerkes.
81 do" said Mr.. Winslow.
Then 1 move that you be expelled from
the party and that your name be removed
from all committees"
This motion prevailed, Winslow's name
being stricken from the roll of delegates.
DIR. ID. j.. Smith. of Henderson county, was
elected State chairman.
White was nominated for Governor, and
candidates for presidential elector were
named. There were but fifty delegates in
the convention, including several women.

WORKED OFF OLD SPEECH.
Mr.. Stevenson Thought Secondhand
Rot Was Good Enough for Missouri

Mr.. Stevenson Thought Secondhand
Rot Was Good EnOugh for Missouri
SEDALIA, Mo-, Aug. 21.-The Democratic
campaign in Missouri was opened here to-
day in the presence of nearly 10000 peo-
pie. A parade through the streets of clubs
from different points of the State was fol-
lowed by speechmaking. TIL principal adj
dresses were made by Hon. Adal Z. Ste
venson, the vice presidential candidate, and
A. NJ. Dockery, Democratic candidate, of
Missouri.
Mr.. Stevenson's speech was devoted al
most entirely to the question of imperial
ism. He read from manuscript and his
words were nearly a repetition of his In
dianapolis speech. He referred to the
Beers as ''our allies in a foreign country
Imperialism. he said, had been sacredly
made the paramount issue i'm the Demo-
cratic platform, and. he added: 1.-The sue
cess of the imperialiStic policy foreshadows
the empire. Shall the American people
change the course hat has brought us
prosperity and happiness for many years
TO a policy against which history is filled
with warnings in the wreck of empires?'
Mr.. Stevenson continued: The Democratic
party stands pledged to an unceasing war
fare against private monopoly in every
form Our platform favors the creation
of a department of labor, whose chief Of
ficers shall take rank with other constitu-
tionel advisers of the President. This is in
the interest of justice and Will prove an
important step looking to the proper recog-
milton and encouragement of the producers
of wealth. In explicit terms II favors lib
eral pensions to our old soldiers and sail
ors, and those dependent on them. With
equal justice il reiterates the demand of a
former Democratic platform for bimetal-
lism and the restoration of silver to its
proper function in our monetary system. For
the protection of home labor it demands
the enforcement of the Chinese exclusion
act. In the interest of an enlarged COM
merce 1T favors the immediate construction
of the N~icaraguan canal"

Judge John Cromwell Orrick, a Noted
Missouri Reconstructionist.

S LOUIS, Aug. 21.-Judge John Crom-
we'll Orrick, ex-speaker Of the Missouri
House OF Representatives. who was chiefly
Instrument in restoring the ballot 10
secessionists in Missouri without COMPEL
ing them to make the oath Of loyalty, died
to-day at his residence after an illness of
nearly five years.
Mr.. Orrick was a prominent attorney
before he broke down, and for many years
was the law partner of General John w.
Noble, the firm being dissolved shortly be-
fore General Noble went to Washington as
secretary of the interior under President
Benjamin Harrison. In the Republican
caucus of the convention OF 1870 Mr.. Orrick
presented a resolution, which afterward be-
came an amendment to the State Con-
stitution, restoring the rights of citizen
ship TO all male citizens who had been
disfranchised on account of service in the
army of the Confederacy. Before that ex-
Confederates had been compelled TO take
the oath of allegiance before being per-
mitted to vote.
Mr.. Orrick's widow is the daughter of
Mrs. Beverly Allen, niece of General John
Pope.

POPULISTS ARE DIVIDED
MAY NOT INDORsE THE NOMINATION
OF STEVENSON.
Latter i'm Missouri Working OF an
Old Speech on the Unterrifed"-
Kentucky PrOhibftionists.

CHICAGO, Aug. H.-The latest reports
received here indicate tha the Populist
national committee which is to meet in this
city on the 18th instant may not be as
harmonious as was predicted when the
executive committee was in session here
early in the month.
The meeting is called for the purpose of
selecting a candidate for the vice presi-
dency. When Mr.. Towne declined the NOM
ination of the Populists it was generally
supposed that Mr.. Stevenson would re-
ceive the Populist Endorsement by general
consent. TIL correspondence which has
taken place among members of the national
ommitte of that party since the executive
committee meeting in this city ten days
ago makes it plain that this result, while
apparently still probable, will not be ac-
complished without a struggle. Indeed, 1t
Is understood that many of the leaders OF
the party are strongly urging that the COM
mittee shall name an independent candi-
date. Those who take this position in
clude a majority of the officers Of the
national committee, among them being
Chairman Butler and Treasurer Wash
burne, who are pronounced in their views.
Vive Chairman Edmisten is also said to
incline towards the opinion that wisdom
demands that the Populists ave a candi-
date of their own in the field.
Secretary Edgerton is credited with be-
ing the only officer of the organization who
is friendly to the Endorsement of Mr..
Stevenson's candidacy. Mr.. S~tevenson's
friends claim that Edgerton is working
effectively in their behalf. The best cam
vass of the committee they have been able
to make causes them to feel hopeful OF
the result. Still, those now committed to
this course are considerably below a ma
jority in numbers. Senator Butler and
others who agree with him contend that
it would be suicidal for their party not to
have a candidate of their own political
faith I'm the field. They also hold that un-
less there is a Populist candidate for sec
ond place many Populist votes will be
driven from Mr.. Bryan.
The national committee has full power
to act, in accordance with the instructions
of the Sioux Falls convention, and IL Is
presumed it's decision, when made, will be
final.

avs Contrary to the agreement of the
allied commanders, the Russians advanced
and occupied the first door of the east gate
early in the morning of the 14th, but failed
to force the second door. At 2 o'clock on
the afternoon of the 14th the British and
Americans entered the gate near the Legal
lions, and met with only slight resistance.
The Japanese met more serious resistance
at the upper east gate all day. Al mid
