BIG SENSATION AT ocALA.
Republican Candidate For Governor
Struck Mayes In the Face.

N~~~AA N'0NSJ
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 4.-The Re-
publican state campaign opened in Ocala
with one of the most sensational incidents
in the political history of the south.
Hon. NJ B. McFarlane of Tampa, the
nominee for governor, was addressing
the crowd from the veranda of the Ocala
House and was denouncing his oppo-
nent, Judge William S. jennings, In
bitter language, declaring that he came
to Florida a Popuhst and was only NOM
mated by the Democrats for governor
because he was q relative of William J.
Bryan.
AT this juncture Dick Hendricks, a
Democrat. interrupted the speaker by
shouting for Bryan. This reused the
ire of the Republican candidate and he
resented the interruption In singing re-
marks, challenging the specimen of
Bryan's adherents who would interrupt
gentleman" to show himself. At this
challenge Sumter Mayes stepped in front
of the speaker and asked him to "behold
the man"
Hot Interruptions and rejoinders were
kept up during the remainder of Mao
Farlane's speech, and when he con-
cluded friends hurriedly ushered him
into private room. Mayes began to
shout for Bryan at this point and Mao
Farlane rushed from his room and
struck him twice in the face. Mayes'
friends rushed to his rescue and Mac
Farlane's friends hurried him from the
scene.
For a time the excitement was in
tense. MacFarlane is one of the most
prominent lawyers IN the state.

BOGUS EDICTS CAUSE
RIOTS NEAR CANTON
Whole Delta Is In Dangerous
State Of Irritation.
AMERICANS AT TEN TsIN

They Pass a Resolution Protesting
Against the Withdrawal of Troops
From China-Governmen Is Urged
to Pursue the Work to the End.
HoNG-KoNa Oct. 4.-The whole delta
between Canton and West river is in q
state of dangerous irritation in conse.
quence of the circulation of bogus edicts
telling of the defeat Of the allies and Of
Vaccinations Of secret societies.
Rioters are marauding and plundering
the villages, especially the converts
houses.
British and French gunboats are pa
trolling the waterways. This had had
a salutary effect in preventing attacks
on steamers.
TEN TsIN, via SHANGHAI, Oct. A
meeting OF American citizens at TEN
Tsin the following resolution was
adopted:
1--WE, citizens of the United States,
deplore the contemplated withdrawal Of
a large part Of the United States troops
in North China. We feel that the work
of the allied armies is far from being
accomplished and that the refusal of the
American government to take it's part
therein is sure to be regarded by the
allies as an unworthy act, and by the
Chinese as a sign of indifference. We
urge our government to carry to an end
the work it has so honorably and eff
GENTLY begun, and to maintain a suffi-
Gent force here to secure the protection
of American mercantile and missionary
interests until settlement of the pres
ent trouble is accomplished. :"

ANOTHER NOTE TO POWERS.
Germany Alters Her Position Some
what Relative to China.

Germany Alters Her Position Some-
what Relative TO China.
BERLIN, Oct. An official of the
foreign Office states that Germany is
issuing a second note to the powers re-
gardiug the method Of securing punish
ment for those guilty of the outrages In
China. This note is issued as a result
of the edict Of the emperor of China be-
ginning proceedings against Prince
Tuan and others
The new note is as follows:
1.-The emperor of China has addressed
to the powers an edict, dated Sept. 20,
in which he orders the punishment of q
number Of princes and dignitaries, men
toned by name, for having encouraged
the Boxers. On the assumption that
the edict is genuine, the German gov
eminent, in furtherance of the proee-
dure proposed in Its circular note of
Sept. II, has further proposed to the
powers to come TO an agreement to in
struct their diplomatic representatives
In China to examine and give their oDin-
ion on the following points:
"1. Whether the list contained In
the ediot Of persons to be punished is
sufficient and correct.
"'2 Whether the punishment pro-
posed meets the case.
"'8. In what way the powers can cen-
troll the carrying out Of the penalties
imposed.
The information received up to the
present concerning the reception of this
note by the powers justifes the belief
that a general understanding on this
matter may be looked for.

IMPORTANT ACTION
BY OUR GOVERNMENT
United States Clearly Defines
Her Position In China.
REPLY TO GERMAN NOTE

Favorable Action Is Taken on the En-
peror's Latest Suggestion-Pu Punish
ment of Chinese Criminals Expected.
Instructions Sent to Conger.
WASHINGTON, Oct L. - The United
States government has taken another
decisive step in the development of the
Chinese situation IN note delivered to-
day by Secretary Hay to the German
charge d'affaires, Baron Speck Won
Sternberg.
In the note favorable action is taken
by this government on Germanys latest
suggestion concerning the punishment
OF Chinese criminals and the an
nouncement is made that the United
States already has sent instructions to
Minister .Oonger along the lines indi-
Gated.
The instructions to Minister Oonger
are that he shall learn the names of the
Chinese offenders who are to be pun
lshed; also whether the punishment to
be administered is adequate to their Of
lenses, and. finally, whether the punish.
A0uCS dIS hCGuhIIy administered.
The American note is considered most
important in the establishment of COM
plete unity between the United States
and Germany
The American note to Germany is re-
garded as one Of the most important
moves thus far made, not only in fixing
the course Of events In China, but in
giving formal expression to q growing
joeo e
which has arisen lately between the gov
ernments at Berlin and Washington.
This has come about after several ex-
tended conferences between Secretary
Hay and Baron Sternberg, all of them
looking toward common action by the
two governments.
Are In Hearty Accord.
The point now under consideration Is
supervision by the ministers Of the DOW.
ers at Peking of the punishments to be
administered by the Chinese authorities.
The desires of. Germany in this matter
were explained at length and were com
municated to the president They met
with the most hearty approval, as they
were seen to be in line with what the
United States had announced as one of
its chief aims, viz: To hold the guilty
parties to the uttermost accountability
for their wrongdoing.
AS q result Secretary Hay prepared
the note delivered today. It was cabled
immediately to the Berlin foreign Office,
1t is expected here that the American
note will create q most favorable i'm
preston In Berlin and will prove an
other bond between the two govern
ments
1t has been recognized that after the
last note to Germany some friction was
manifested in the German press and
there was some apprehension that the ao-
cord between Germany and the United
States as to the means of dealing with
China might be strained, if not broken.
For that reason the recent negotiations
have taken on added interest and signifi-
canoe and the hearty concurrence which
now has been brought about is looked
upon as little short of triumph in in
ternational comfy, and one alike salts

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The iron and
steel situation shows tendency toward
weakness has developed in the pig mark

lowering in freight rates from southern
