.FRENCHMAN SHOT
 BY AN AMERICAN One of the Richest Men in France Killed By a
 Mere Boy. ].

New York, January 1s.-A dispatch to the World from Paris says:
 Paul Jaujou, the famous brewer, was killed in a first class railway carriage by ly 12 years old.
 'In the compartment occupied by Mar tins were a young Englishman and M. and Mime. Jaujou. The express had just passed Tonnerre when Martins violently accused the Englishman of wanting to chloroform and rob him. He soon worked himself into a frenzy and drew revolver. M. Jaujou tried to disarm Martins and the latter shot him through the brain. M. Jaujou fell back dead in the arms of his wife.
 ."The alarm bell brought the trainmen, but Martins held them at bay for time with his pistol. Finally, however, the en- gineer sprang upon him and secured the weapon.
 s'Martins was then bound hand and foot and placed in baggage car. The murder CT and the body of his victim were taken in charge by the police.
 "The tragedy causes intense feeling all over France as M. Jaujou. who owned the largest French brewery at Mines, was as prominent here as Rockefeller is in Ameri- ca Martins is believed to be insane.

 A resolution as strongly indorsing the in- troduction of the Hepburn Nicaraguan bill in congress was offered by General Jas treski and unanimously adopted.
 Commissioner Patterson offered resolu- tlons which were adopted recommending to the school superintendents and school boards of the respective cotton states that they endeav0r to secure legislation which shall require teaching the principles of ag- riculture and horticulture in the public schools, and congratulating the cotton farmers of the south upon the recent ad- vance in the price of their staple, whereby the decrease of the crop has been more than compensated by the increase of price.
 The convention then adjourned. Counmis- sioner Patterson will arrange the date of the next meeting at Raleigh.

THE OPPOSING FORCES
 ISSUE MANIFESTOS

Louisville, Ky. January 13-The repuibli- can state committee through its officers and the organization formed by the dsaf- fected democrats during the recent cam- paign have issued statements giving their views of the political situation in this state, and calling upon their constituents for their support. The appeal issued by the ..Honest Democrats" says:
 ''The men who in June deprived a third of the democrats of Kentucky of repre- sentation at the democratic convention are in January appearing to reverse the de- cision of the people made at the polls
 'sThe general assembly of the sovereign state of Kentucky is subject to the mere Whim and caprice of one man, whose or ders are issued to your representatives through caucus intimidated by force and debased by treacCaery. All the rules of evil dence that prevail in civilized communi- ties have been repealed; every piece of jus- tice has been repudiated in advance.
 ''.nhe candidate who was defeated by a decisive vote, and by the subjection of representatives by the promise of spells, has been made the master of the legisla- tive body of Kentucky.

BRYAN DENIES
 TARIFF STORY Says He Did Not Make the Statement Regarding
 Duties on Wool.

Columbia, Mo-, January 13.-Col. William J. Bryan addressed an audience of over 1,- GOO people tonight at the University chapel. His subject was Pending Problems" and he discussed at length the question of im- perialism, trusts and finance. Colonel Bry- an was accorded an ovation at the conclu- sion of his address. After the address he was the guest of honor at dollar dinner given by the Cntury club. Here he made a brief speech ai.--.cS political lines.
 When asked regading the report to the effect that he had changed his views on the matter of free wool importation, and had asserted that on behalf of western dealers and manufacturers that he would if elect ed, favor a tariff on wool, MT. Bryan stated most imIEatically that he wished to deny all such reports, and that he had made no statement whatever to the effect that he had changed his former views on the ques- tion. When asked regarding the Philippine problem he said that the whole situation reminded him of looking glass, in which the American people could see their own views reflected.
 'In regard to the gold party" said MT. Bryan, when questioned, q will say that 1t will be of little importance in the presi- dential election. It will make but an in- significant plank and will be scarcely worthy of mention. The greatest difficulty I have experienced of late is the matter of physical endurance, and at times find it very hard 10 endure the strain necessita- ted by so many Danquets and similar de- mands''

VOLUNTEERS LEAVE LONDON

London, January 14.4 a. m--The veil concealing the stage of war from the eyes of Great Britain and the rest of the world is still unlifted It is Impossible to doubt that this absolute closing of all the cham nels of information is due to the censor- ship, the strDctness of which has been redoubled since the landing of Lord Rob- erts and Lord Kitchener, concerning whom nothing has transp1red since the announce ment of their arrival at Cape Town four days ago.
 The war office stated at midnight that no further news from the front had been received, and none from any source has come to hand during the night As usual when news Is scarce, the runor mongers a.ave been busy. The latest story foated was that intelligence had reached the headquarters of tine Scots Guards that General Butler had again sustained seri- ous defeat

men who were repudiated at the polls. He is to return next week to Kentucky to aid the conspirators in driving from office men who have been elected. The subject of the schemes already developed at Frankfort would bury the democratic party for a decade in ignomy and popular contempt. The success of these schemes would be a temporary surrender of republican form of government. The future is dark, with threatened danger of the gravest charac- ter.
 "If the people of Kentucky will speak di- rectly to their representatives in command ing tones they may yet save the state and party from irretrievabie and uneXampled disgrace. We appeal to you, therefore, to read in the record of the past twelve months the darker record of defeat and distrust that may follow for the twelve months to come. If you are still loyal to the platform of 1896, and desire this year to give to your candidate for president the electorial vote of Kentucky, you must not permit the political desperadoes to control the democratic caucus at Frankfort to make the party responsible for the action of the reckless and desperate leaders now in control of the legislature"
 The Republican Manifesto
 The republican manifesto follows about the same lines. It contains the following:
 TWO months after a general election a defeated minority is defying the law, vio- lat1ng the constitution ana SeeklHB Dy every means to establish usurpers in pub lie offices already filled by men you have chosen to conduct your affairs
 "A political conspiracy against republi- can government appears as climax.
 "Unless you will act so as to instruct your representatives in the legislature to execute your will, the enemies of republi- can government may yet triumph or in their vain efforts to triumph, may provoke bloodshed.
 'Since the assembling of your legislature we have seen acts of usurpation treading on one another's heels so fast that they fall.
 'In short, a reversion in every depart ment of our government proceeds uncheck- ed. The character of your institutions Is being changed and without the due process of law men are deprived of office and other men are deprived of dearer rights than the rights of office holding.
 .In justice to ourselves and in justice to you, impelled by our regard for the con- stitution and the laws and by our devotion to the principles of repubicanism, we make these representations to you, and we be- seech you so to act and relieve your rep resentatives from fear intimidation and to secure from them and through them, full obedience to your will as expressed at the polls."

STIRRING SCENES
Volunteers Depart During an Outburst
 of Patriotism

London, January 1.-Though many stirring scenes have marked the departure of the British troops for the front during recent months, today's outburst of patriotism, on the occasion of the starting of the London volunteers, was quite unprecedented since the jubilee. It is the first time in the history of the move- ment that British volunteers have been permitted to serve side by side with the regulars in real warfare, and the people turned out in hundreds of thousands to fit- tingly celebrate it. The crowds began to throng the route before dawn and increased in such proportions that a detachment of the Lord Mayors Own" were enguifed at various stages of the marches. The ranks were broken and the troops at times were almost lost sight of in the cheering, shout ing, singing mob Every now and then a halt had to be made in order to reform the ranks but only to be again broken, as the police were utterly unable to stem the ex- cited cheering, living mass of people which again and again broke through all obstruc- tions.
 The handshaking and embracings wero so exuberant that the original smartness of the volunteers was speedily impaired, many uniforms being torn But the troops finally managed to struggle through to the Mansion house. On the balcony there Lord Mayor A. J. Newton, the lady mavoress, the councillors and others awaits ed the arrival of the volunteers and witt messed them actually fighting their way through the dense crowds, assisted by maie friends and impeded by clinging women.
 Couldn't Be Heard
 When the force was finally reformed the lord mayor attempted to make speechs but found it impossible. The din was simply deafening. and the chief magistrate had to be content to indicate his good wishes by smiles and gestures, while the volunteers greeted him with cheers and waving their hats on their raised rifles.
 There was another Herculean effort on the part of the police and the detachment resumed its march to the accompaniment of pushing, screaming, cheering and sing- ing
 Finally the column reached Nine Films station, bearing numberless traces of tho difficulties of the march. The public was excluded, tine final leave takings being held outside and the volunteers entered and de- parted amgdst commfngnng or band mu- sic and cheering, ana the singing Of "AuId Lang Syne," Rule Britannia and God Save the Queen"

"Woman, woman, lovely woman"
How could "lovely woman" be sup
posed to handle mortar on cold day?
OF course, woman had been compelled
to work during the last couple Of CEN
turtles, but that was owing to the fact
that man, thorough his inability to pro-
vide for her, had compelled her to
make slave of herself. In so doing,
said Lawyer Rossi, man had gone
against nature. But the fact remained
that not one line in all history showed
that woman was intended to toll. Ira
dition, the attorney said, was above
all law, and tradition showed that
woman was a doll to be petted. That
being established, she argued, woman
did not come under the ban OF the stat
ute as q person who should be appre-
hended if not working" The jury
promptly returned verdict supporting
the theory of the defense, and the pris-
oner was discharged. The case occu-
pied four hours and half, and Law
yer Hyde pronounced it the weightles'
in the annals of the law, vindicatins
the whole course of history for the las'
5000 years.
