DEMAND FOR DAMAGES.
DR.. Thomas o. Clements Wants $4,000 for
Injury TO His Reputation.

In our State news, ON another page,
reference is made to the suit of So, 900,
which Edward III. Atkinson, of Dover,
has entered against DIR. Thos. o.
Clements, charging the latter, while re-
moving a grain of sand from one eve,
with using an instrument on which there
was diphtheria germ, the infamma-
tion that followed, causing him to lose
his sight.
Saturday the surprise was precipi-
lately increased by the appearance of
Attorneys Alexander NJ. Daily and John
b. Hutton in the Office of the prothon-
otary, where they entered suit for
some $4,000 damages, in each case
against Edward H. Atkinson for SLAM
der and defamation of business
reputation. They also gave notice that
several other prominent persons would
be included In the civil actions and
that DIR. Clements had gone into the
cases with the intention of making no
compromise whatsoever.
DIR. Clements AYERS that Mr.. Atkin-
son, (and will make practically the
some claims in the other cases) falsely,
maliciously and grievously damaged
his business reputation by charges
both in public and private converse
tion. In the long line of evidence
which he expects to produce, DIR.
Clements has enlisted several special.
lists of national fame, and expert testi-
mony concerning his own ability and
the direct facts in these cases.

cient to give her one more representative in

more delegate in political conventions. If
Caroline county should show up as we'll as

no longer be able to control conventions, as
matters would be evened up and the politi-
clans would be compelled to make con-
cessiOns in order to make nominations.

GENERAL WILSON GOES TO CHINA.

General James H. Wilson arrived in
New York on Saturday from Cuba, and
to reporter said: 81 am on my way
to China, and my orders are to report
to Major General Adna r. Chaffee. L
am going to get to China as quick as
possible and leave at $50 o'clock to-
morrow evening for San Francisco on
Lake Shore limited. L expect to ar
rive in San Francisco next Thursday
evening at $50 o'clock. The next day
1 expect to be aboard a Japanese
steamer sailing for Yokohoma. This
trip takes about fifteen days and 1 ex-
pect to report to General Chaffee soon
after the middle of August. What
will do when l arrive in China, do
not know; being a soldier, will obey
orders. 1 will be accompanied by my
aides; Lieutenants j. H. Reeves and
G. Soulard Turner.
cit will be necessary" he said ''for
an army to take great quantities of
supplies. The country is poor.
1t is a low plain, almost devoid
of vegetation. There are no trees of
any account that could be used for
frewood. The natives even scrape the
bark off the trees for fuel. They burn
weeds and rice stalks. There is little
to be got by foraging, and there is
practically nothing to plunder, and an
army would have to take supplies of
every kind, including fuel and water
The question of supplies is, in fact, the
principal one.
There are no mountains or other ma
ural obstacles. There are no strong
Notifications. 1t is easy, OF course, to
throw up entertainments. The Chinese
will have the same difficulties to con-
tend with, as far as supplies are con-
cerned, as the allies must encounter.
1t will be impossible to maintain great
hordes of men without something on
which to feed them.
