KEMPFF'S CABLFGRAM

About HOstilities in China Causes
Some Concern at the Navy Do
partment.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 5.-The
secretary of the navy has received the
following cablegram from Admiral
Kempft, commanding the United States
steamship Newark, lying at Taku forts
at the mouth of the Peo Ho river, dated
Taku, June 3:
enlargement has commenced. Have
landed force of fifty seamen more-bat-
talon OF marines.
(SigneD "KEMPFF."
The cipher message is not entirely
legible, and It Is supposed ut the navy
department the admiral means that he
has landed fifty seamcn to reinforce the
battalion of marines already ashore.
The break in the admirars cablegram
Is caused by an iilegible group Of ag-
ures in the cablegram. The admrlals
news is regarded as OF the utmost grnv-
ity. The admiral has said nothing
about needing more force, but the de-
partment stands ready to supply this
at once, supposing that he has not COM
municated directly with Rear Admiral

gunboats along the wharves Of the Pei
Ho river.
"PeNn itself is believed to be safe.
and though no doubt in any case the
foreign detachments which have been
sent up to guard the legations maye be
trusted to give u good account OF them

OF the House = Partisan Passion
Run High for Time-HOt Words
Between Opposing Parties.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-The house
entered the throes of dissolution to-
day, and all day and all evening the
circiIlng galleries were crowded with
spectators. The picturesque incidents
were few. Partisan passion running
high, in the face OF the impending
presidential canvass. broke out several
times during the afternoon. and hot
words were banded across the polit-
ical aisle. AFR. Hull, OF Iowa, and
Mr.. LentZ, Of Ohio, crossed swords,
and later Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, and
Mr.. Gaines, Of Tennessee, had n lively
encounter Throughout the day, at
every opportunity there was n play for
political advantage. and taunt and
challenge were banded back and forth.
But all this was merely incidental to
the work OF crowdIng through the big
supply Of bills which had the right OF
way.
During the lnterIms between the
consideration OF conference reports
members clamored like mad mon in the
wheat pit on y panic day, for recognl-
tlon for private bills upon which their
political salvation might depend.
At the night session, the galleries
we're thronged with gnily arrnyod wo-
men, and the floor was verItable
bedlam. Hour after hour. the con-
ferees struggled with their reports, the
sneaker, firm and resolute steering the
turmoil and confusion. Toward mid
night the galleries thInnGl out, but the
airy Legislators, with the prospect Of
an oil night session ahead, remained
In their places, getting what comfort
they could from the knowledge that
tomorrow the end would come.

General j. W. St. Clair. who is an
ardent supporter of VIM. j. Bryan,
thinks It would be the part of wisdom
for the convention not to reafIlrm the
Chicago platform, or to refer to the
16 to 1 plank His idea is that that
part Of the constitution of the United
States relating to the power Of Con-
gress to coin money should be adopted
as the Democratic platform on the
money question. He believes the out
look for the Democracy is good II the
party is not again divided. and he will
use his energies In the convention for
the adoption of a platform which will
unity and solidIfy the party.
The convention will be called to or
der at noon tomorrow.
Senator Flournoy arrived here at
noon from Charleston. He said he had
not looked over the situation enough
to size 1t up, but he did not expect to
be nominated on the first ballot. He
thinks he will have the support of a,
large number of delegates as second
choice.
Prof. Virgil A. Lewis arrived this
morning with delegation from Mason
and jackson counties. Prof. Lewis says
he Will go into the convention with
one hundred and fifty votes. He fg-
ures that unless Holt or Tavenrer Is
nominated on the first ballot he will
get the nomination. While other can
dldates are more or less antagonIstlc
to each other, he says he is friendly
with all OF them. and he thinks he
would be the unanimous second choice
of everyone, so that In the event of
no nomination on the first ballot the
strength of the leading candidates
would be thrown to him rather than
to any of the other candidates.

MILLIONS IN A POKER GAME.
Chicago Men Play for High Stakes in New
York City.

A week or SO ago it was known in
certain uptown circles that well
known Chicago gentleman had lost
$4,000 in this city by the flip of coin
says New York dispatch.
Various attempts we're made to dis
credit the story, but in the main it
turned out to be pretty nearly truthful.
Last night at the Waldorf Astoria a
group of Chicago gentleman told of
the greatest game of poker that has
been played in New York in many
moons. 1t seems, according to those
familiar with the story, that the fun
started a little over week ago, when
certain Chicago gentlemen who are in
terested in industrial enterprise start
ed from the windy city for New York
in a private car, and it was made known
last night that one of the passengers
in the private car, who in times past
had been prominent in wheat deals,
lost $780, 900 at poker on the journey.
From that little episode there grew
one of the greatest games of poker that
folks hereabouts have ever known of.
MS game WOunu up dU h CCIU nlh l"
nous hotel on Monday night.
There were six players and the game
lasted a week. During that time more
than 100000 changed hands. The
sky above was the limit. The names
of the Chicago gentlemen who were
interested in this high-play game are
well known, but for obvious reasons
they are not printed. AS matter OF
fact five of them were from Chicago.
The other was from New York. All
are connected with big industrial
Enterprise.
It was ascertained that one of the
gentlemen lost 100000, another $685.,
600 and another $250,000.

of the simplest sort. 1t is a summer
dress of chiffon, lace ruffles extend it's
length and gathered at the waist they
give kind of blouse effect at the
bosom.
The sleeves are tight from shoulder
to wrist. The arms droop to full length
on both sides. The hair waves back
from the forehead and is parted slight
ly to the left. The pose is that of TAX
ing a step forward, denoting "pro-
gress."

KIDNAPPED A YOUNG GIRL.
STRANGE STORY COMES
FROM MACON.
vounq Man, Chased by Officers,
Has Driven All Over Georgia
in a Buggy With Girl.

Four weeks ago a htteen-year-olo
oirl named Polly Lamb disappeared
from her home in Emanuel county with
q Young man known at that time as
George Hannah. Hannah hired a mule
and buggy to go about five miles, and
not showing up in the expected Tune
the officers began a search which still
continues and deepens in interest.
Within the four weeks since the
connIe and the mule and buggy disap-
r rod thev have been followed out of
Ennroia into South Carolina, through a
good norton of that state, back into
GEORGIA. throughout the eastern p0r-
tion of this state to Sawyer's new
store, about two miles east OF Macon,
where they were last heard OF at III
o'clock last Saturday morning.
Al the various places at which Inc
couple have been heard of the young
man has claimed several different
names. In Emanuel county he was
known as George Hannah At various
places in his flight he has passed as
George Heath, Oscar Thomas and
George Douglas. In every instance ex-
cept one he and the girl have passed
as man and wife, and on that occasion
he claimed that she was his half-sister.
He has claimed to be follower OF as
MANY different vOcatiOns as he has
claimed different names. At one place
he claimed to be horse trader by pro-
fession, at another he claimed to be a
detective, and vet at another he said
that when he was at home he was a
peddler, but said that he had been
robbed and was trying to find the rob-
Der.
His claim that he is a horse trader
seems to have some truth now, even II
he had never followed the business be-
fore, for he has traded of the mule
that he started with, and when seen on
last Saturday he was driving an old
one-eyed, dark bay horse to an old open
top buggy without any back, and he
and the girl were using a bedquilt for
lap robe
The gentlemen who were in pursuit
of these young people are exceedingly
anxious to catch them, and they intend
to remain in'the vicinity of Macon un'
til they get new clue or get the par.
ties themselves. All along the route
the fugitives have avoided the larger
towns. They would inquire the dis
lance, and then go around it. At times
|. he has shown list of names which ht
claimed to be the names of people O
which he, as detective, was il
4 search.
The young man is twenty-four years
old, of Medium height, weighs about
100 pounds, is light complexioned, his
hair inclined to curl and is generally
worn long, and he wears short nous
tache OF sandy, almost red, color. He
wears wide leather belt under his

A TRUST OUTWITTED.
How the Farmers of Iowa Crcumvented 3
Scheme to Fleece Them,

oCIcI'ie III IIG6C6 men,
An interesting account of now the
farmers and the retail dealers of Iowa
circumvented scheme by which the
cordage trust expected to fleece them
last year is given by the Iowa State
Capital. The trust advanced the price
on binding Irvine heavily on the
ground that as the Philippine ports
had been closed the price of jute would
go up.
The farmers and retail dealers in
binding Irvine knew that this was a
mere pretext and instead of paying the
trusts advanced prices they organized
to save themselves from the plotted
extortiOn.
The dealers in Iowa induced those
OF the other western states to join
them in an agreement not to buy their
stock at the usual time in the early
fall, but to hold out for reasonable
prices.
This combination worked so well
the cOrdage trust was compelled to
keep its warehouses stocked at big eX.
pense for several months, while nc
sales were made, and they seemed
likely to lose their maket altogether
Finally, when the need of cash became
great, they took advantage of the ex-
cuse that the Philippine ports had
been opened and reduced prices.
When they fell to reasonable figure
the implement men began to buy and
swamped the wholesalers with orders.
In this way the retailers and farmers
saved 2 cents per pound and the trust
lost an expected profit.
Millions of dollars were thus saved
to the farmers of the west which the
cordage trust expected to gobble up
by the trick.
This is one of the most notable vic
tories over trust that the farmers
and their friends, the retail dealers,
will repeat it whenever the occasion
may require. Atlanta Journal.

thrown open about year ago because
of the fact that it's arrangement fol-

1t is proposed to charge special fees
for the telephone sermon service, so
that there will be good thing Ia it for
