Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette.
Washington, October IS.
The reply of this government to the
appeal addressed to President McKiD.
ley from Kwsng Hsu, Emperor Of
China, asking the President to begin
peace negotiations promptly, has been
formulated and sent to the Emperor
through the Chinese minister. Score.
5sry Hay said this morning upon leav-
ing the White House that the Presi-
dent had not yet decided whether the
text of the appeal and the reply should
be made public. He declined to dis
cuss tie purport of either the note or
the answer. The latter YVES forwarded
last night.
President Mckinley this morning re-
ceived the members of the Presby terrain
synod of Baltimore, in session In this
city.
Mr.. Evans, Commissioner of Pen
lions, who has just returned from a
stumping tour through Tennessee, pre-
diets the election of Mckinley by a
popular majority, ever greater than
that expressed by the people four years
,go. He says that the feeling for free
silver is, as far as the party feeling is
concerned in the doubtful States, a back
number, and that the great vote of the
Jeople will be for the party during the
ncumbency of which prosperity has
been visible and potent factor"
Surgeon General Sternberg 10 his an.
nual report states that the troops 10
Cuba show the highest rate OF illness
while the lowest is IN the soldiers re.
naming on station In the United
States. The highest death rate was In
the Pacific Islands. The total deaths
or the year among the REGULARS were
1902; among the volunteers, TAB. The
exposures, fati cues and excitemenis of
prolonged campaign are responsible
for the large sick reports and the rela-
lively large death rate among the
troops in the Philippines.
Ex-Vice President Levi P. Morton
was with President Mckinley this
morning for an hour or 80, talking poll
tics. Mr.. Morton came over from New
York last night and will return this
evening. He said that he was sure
New York would 60 republican and
said that there war no doubt 10 bis
mind that President Mckinley will be
reelected.
Ex-senator Sherman, although very
ill man, rallied little during the night,
md is somewhat stronger this morning.
His physicians have been in almost con
slant attendance upon him, and nurses
minister uuder their directions. As
yet the family do not feel that he is out
OF danger. but are more hopeful than
on yesterday. At 11:l5 p. m. Mr..
Sherman's condition was unchanged.
He is very low and his physicians fear
the worst before many hours.

least. II he sells his vote.

ONE OF THE most striking features
of the present campaigr, next to the
ominous silence of the working classes,
Is the fact that some of the most prom
inent and Influential republicans OF the
land refuse 10 cay one word for McKin-
lev. Mr.. Reed is far ADLER than Nc
Kinley, Hanna and the whole Cabinet
rolled into one. Every effort to induce
him to declare for Mckinley has failed.
Another influential republican who Is
Silent, is ex-senator Cameron Of Penn
sylvanis. There is nothing 10 COM
mon between him and the Ohio gang.
He has always been a square, direct
man whom both friend and foe knew
where to find. He was not an ambi'
tious Senator and rarely spoke, but his
| speeches we're characterized by pro-
found thought and analysis of business
conditions. Everybody 10 the Senate
respected him. He had none OF the
low. CHEAP arts of the modern dema'
ooyue. His father before him we'll un-
ders,ood and despised the Ohio school
OF Pharisees and hypocrites, and we
snsnsct mis- son has the same keen In
sight into the class of politicians who
nv trickery and corruption have usurp-
ed the conduct of public affairs and

There are hundreds of other old time

who cannot endorse Hannaism.

EVERYTHING THE farmer has to buy
for himself and family has gone up.
Everything the poor man and the la
borer has to buy to maintain himself
and his family has gone up twenty,
thirty and even fifty per cent. iu some
cases. The lsborer gets no more for
his daily wages. The farmer gets no
more for his produce. The town family
of moderate means has the same ex-
perience. This is the price that 90 per
cent. of the population pay to keep a
republican administration In power.
A great part of this rise Is due to the
trusts which have multiplied so great
~ under Mckinley. Does anybody
suppose the trusts will be overhauled
or disturbed if be be re-electedp
Another cause of this increase OF prices
in the necessaries of life is due to the
high taxes. A colonial policy of war
and conquest means an addition OF sew
eral hundred million dollars to
the annual appropriations. They were
nigh enough before. Now they
are seven hundred million per an
mum. The war taxes are to stand.
The war must be kept up and the
army must be kept up or increased
This proAgate policy means increased
burdens to the taxpayer. Every wo-
man, every householder who buys spv
article 10 the stores can taste the sweets
OF republican rule. The negro voter
who has sugar. coffee, bacon or lard to
buy. can find out what the repub lean
party's programme means for him when
he lays down his cash and walks away
with az empty pocket. Ii Ssmbo
wants to make an ass of himself the
road is easy. Let him remember that

not alter this mans testimony.
In opposition to this strong case my
lawyer had scarcely any witnesses Of
Importance. A few friends testified as
to my character and mild manners. A
servant swore that he had seen Mr..
Norton strike my dog Psyche with a
stick, breaking one of her legs. This
gave me just cause for quarreling.
but did not exonerate me from the homi-
eide. Not a single fact Of any conse-
quence offered by the prosecution
could we refute. So our side closed,
and my lawyer began to sum up. He
argued on the following lines:
Gentlemen Of the jury, circumstan-
tial evidence is most unreliable To be
perfect it must fit into the theory
which it upholds at every point. A
single failure is fatal. Now, while L
am compelled to admit the majority Of
facts sworn to by the witnesses and
while l also admit that these facts,
taken as whole, initiate against my
client most strongly, nevertheless there
is that flaw to which alluded There
fore, as whole. we must no longer
consider this array of facts, while sin
ely each one is innocent enough in
itself. True, these men had quarreled,
but we have shown that the deceased
had brutally attacked a poor dumb
beast, breaking her leg with a stick.
Was it not natural that my client
should resent such treatment of his
faithful friend and constant compan-
ion? Was it not natural that he should

two months ago to try the effect of
the change of climate in his endeavor
to regain his health, died at Denver
Sunday evening May u. His brother
Will who lives at Dedham went and
brought the body home and the
funeral services took place Friday at
the home of his parents in Cameron
township Rev. Lucas pastor of the
M. r. church at Dedham officia ting,
assisted by Rev. Bertch, after which
he was laid TO rest in the Elba ceme-
terry. He was but twenty years old
and altough he had been in poor
health for some time he went away
with a buoyant hope that he
would return at least much improved
The change which ended his life was
sudden and his friends were not able
to reach him in time and he died
alone among strangers which makes
it doubly sad. He was a member of
the NJ. E. church and led an excep-
tionally pure life. All sympathize
with the parents and brothers in
their bereavement.
