know that. with few exceptions tne
men who vote democratic tickets are IN
favor of the platform referred TO- ana
they therefore naturally infer that un'
Iess that platform be endorsed at Kansas

damnened or else entirely dissipated,

accordinely. Then, 100, the newspa'

Wednesday, on his way to Charlestowp.
While Lord Roberts's forces compel
led General Botha, the Boer command
er-in-chiei, to retire from his positions,
the latter got away with his guns and
without any loss. Lord Methuen has
advanced to Honingspruit. .Kroonstad
is strongly held by the British.
That Commandment General Louis
Botha should have been able to stand
for two days against Lord Roberts and
then to retreat without losing any guns
or having any of bis men captured is
taken in London to mean that he has a
force which the British must still reck-
on as for nidsble when acting defen-
sively. The pacification of the whole
of the Trausvsal, especially the wide
spaces far from the railways, is looked
upon as a business requiring months
rather than weeks.

ATTACKED BY A NEGRO FIEND.-A

ATTACKED BY A NEGRO FIEND.-An
attack last Friday by a negro upon
Misses Bessie LiDkenhoker and Nellie
Keister, two of the most prominent
Young ladies in Botetourt county, has
aroused frenzy of rage there. lnfor-
nation from Botetourt ID that the wom-
en- of the county are as much aroused
as the men, and Miss LinKenhoker her
sell seems to have in her mind the one
idea of vengeance. Her sister, also, is
ready to join in melting out justice to the
fisnd when he shall have been caught.
Miss Linkenhoker is at her home five
miles from CIoverdale. Miss Nellie
Keister is at the hotel in Cloverdale,
frequently unconscious, and at other
times in such sgonizing pain that the
attendance of physicians is constantly
nee, ssary. Her condition Is critical.
The young ladies, when assaulted were.
on their way home from Roanoke City,
where they had been shopping, and
had reached an open place in the road.
Or one side was deep gully, on the
other q small cave. Something struck
Miss Linkenhoker and knocked her
unconscious. Immediately Miss Keist-
er turned and saw a repulsive black
face looking up at her. Then the blow
came blotting every thought from her
mind. The two young ladies were
found by a passerby. The senseless
form of Miss Linkenhoker was on one
side of the road, where it must have
been carried. Her clothes were 10 per-
feet order and she looked as II sleeping.
twenty-five feet away Miss Kester lay.
Her shirt waist was torn about the
breast and her neck bore the marks of
fingers. She had been choked. Her
face was distorted, her slippers were
muddy and gave evidence that she had
been dragged to that place. Her clothes
were disordered aud dirt and dust COW
cred them. 1t was evident, however,
that her assailsnt was frightened viii 0
dragging her away-probably by the
sound OF an approaching wagon.

THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

The United States government will
demand heavy indemnity OF China for
any injury to American citizens or de-
struction of American missionary pro-
perry. Admiral Kemp1 reports that
Russia is sending soldiers from Port Ar
thur with artillery. Mr.. Broderick,
for the British government, defined In
the House Of Commons the govern
ment's policy IN China. He said $50
British troops were being embarked nj

thousand Russians have been landed.

solved and reorganized under Prince
Tuan.
There are now five Japanese ships at
Taku and two more are going there.
The Japanese press advocates strictly
cooperative policy for Japan, but urges
the dispatch of strong military force.
Japanese public opinion regards the
crisis as very serious. and the Chinese
official action a. incomprehensible.
A dispatch from Shanghai, where a
persistent effort Is being made 10 draw
the United States to the side of England
in the crisis, says: "a report has reach.
ed here that the British, American and
Japanese Ministers 10 Pekn favor the
restoration OF Emperor Kusng Hsu, but
that the French and Russian Monsters
insist upon the powers taking charge of
China. It Is furtaer reported that the

1t is officially stated In London that
Great Britain had an understanding
with Russia before beginning her pres

The Tennessee contest was decided
in favor OF the Brownlow delegates and

against Hanna. Italso presents another
phase of the protest started by CONGRESS
