is VIRGINIA IN DOUBT :?
Congressman Levy Says 1t Would Not
Surprise Him If Mckinley Got The
Electoral Vote Of Virginia.

Washington, October 15.-Representa-
tive Levy of New York, who, as reported,
went to Monticello, his summer estate last
week, passed through Washington Satur-
day en- route home to New York city.
Mr.. Levy Gays that he is surprised at the
political conditions in Virginia, and bis
statements have caused something OF a
commotion in Democratic circles, as well
as interest in Republican circles in Wash
ington. He asserts that Virginia is very
close State, really as close as Maryland,
and sums up by saying that the conditions
in the two States are somewhat similar
Although supporting Bryan, MIR. Levy is
an uncompromising gold man, and says
that 1t would not surprise him in the least
if President Mckinley should get the elec'
toral vote of Virginia. There Is much
apathy in the State among Democrats
while thousands Of Democrats intend tc
vote for Mckinley. He says the RePub
licans in Virginia have no organization
but for I'll that they are likely to carry
Virginia. Mr.. Levy says that the Demo
cratic managers are not aware Of the trut
situation in Virginia, and are doing prac
tically nothing to win back the gold Dem
ocrats. In any event, Mr.. Levy says tina
the majority of II 900 cast for BRYAN fou
wears ago in the State will be sadly re
duced, and cannot be more than nv
thousand this year.

UPRISING IN
SOUTH CHINA.
InSursentS Who Are WasinS Ant-Dy.
naSdC War.
TO DEPOSE The EXISTING REGIME.
Plan of Campaign is to Capture Canton
When All Southern China is
Expected to Join the
Rebels.

London, Oct. ia dispatch says that
the powers are concentrating numerous
warships at Shanghai, in view Of possible
trouble.
A1vices from China, where an anti'dy'
nastic uprising is now in progress to the
effect that the reformist movement there
is divided into two distinct parties, one
led by Kang Yu Wei and the other by
Sun Vat Sen. The former is agitating for
drastic reforms, but wishes to retain the
present dynasty, while Sun Yat Sen aims
at deposing the Dowager Empress and
making clean sweep of the existing re-
gime. Sun Yat Sen is leading the present
rebellion.
The lest authentic news of his where
abouts was of his presence at Yokohoms,
three months ago. But since then he is
believed to have smuggled himself into
Southern China and to be leading the re-
formist rebel forces, his plan Of campaign
being the capture of Canton, when ne CAL
culates the whole of Southern China will
Join him. In the event of bis seriously
threatening Canton, Great Britain and
France possibly assisted by the other pow
ers, would be forced to oppose him, which
would create a curious situation. The
powers would then be acting against the
rebel forces in the South, which are anti
dynastic and friendly to foreigners, and at
the same time engaged in suppressing the
Boxer rebellion in the North, which is pio'
dynastic and anti-foreign.
At the present moment there are two
armed movements in Southern China
that of the Reformists, led by Sun Yat
Sen, and the anti.foreign, pro'dynastic up
rising uprising of the Black Flags, who are
marching north to assist the Dowager EN-
press.

Another Successful Concert.

The concert given in the Methodist
church on last Monday night for the benz
fit of the Masonic Home at Richmond was
a decided success, in every respect A
large and appreciative audience attended
and the receipts at the door were very
satisfactory to those who suggested and
managed the entertainment.
The programme was made up OF ten
numbers, consisting of choruses, piano
solos and duettes, violin solos and voca
solos. Though but little time had beer
devoted to practice, the choruses were vel

applauded.

ROOSEVELT INTERRUPTED.
Shouting for Bryan and Other Things
Arouse His Anger.

Louisville, KY, October 19.--LouisvilIe
tonight gave Governor Roosevelt an en-
thuslastic reception, the program, con-
Guiding with a crowded meeting at the
Auditorium.
This was in contradistinction to the
greeting offered at EliSabethtown, the last
stop before the special reached this city.
At that place the governor suffered the
first indignity thrust upon him in the
State. Bowling Green had cheered the
governor until his ears rang with the
plsudlts, and all Mumfordyille gathered
at the train, where the speakers stand
was erected, receiving him with express
sions of good will
But at Elizabethtown, no sooner had
the governor mounted the platform with
General Buckner and. other members Of
his party than an attempt was made to
break up the meeting. Small boys car
ried Bryan banners in the outskirts OF the
crowd and empty coal wagons were driven
at full speed through the square. The
steam whistle on mill close by was blown
loudly, and half a hundred men, or more,
shouted "Hurrah for Bryan" when the
governor began speaking.
Despite the fact that he had a soreness
of the throat which had compelled him to
shorten all his earlier speeches during the
day, the governor proceeded to make
himself heard in spite of the noise in the
crowd. Above the shrek of the steam
whistle rang the words:
81 call your attention to the attitude oi
Mr.. Bryan's friends on the subject OF Law
and order"
Then he waved his hand to the crowd
and continued
'It is natural that the element who have
tried to deprive Kentucky ofa free ballot
should be opposed to free speech. 1t If
not extraordinary that the men who have
stolen the governorship and who seek to
steal it again should not dare to hear the
truth of history, but should seek to gag an
American citizen even before he had ut
tered one word of his opinions in polite
al controversy"
This brought cheers and more inter
ruptions, and the governor was urged mo-
to further endanger his throat but to per
NIT a substitute to finish the program. Id
rejected the suggestion, however, anC
spoke the full fifteen minutes allotted tt
him and was escorted to his train by
large crowd.
"Just put up job to break up th'
meeting" was Governor Roosevelt's com
ment when he returned to his car. "Bu
l guess got back at them"
Chairman Barnett and Secretar!
Coombs, of the State Central Committee
telegraphed news of the trouble to thi
city and urged local Republican organiza
} tions to redouble their efforts in showing
Governor Roosevelt that Kentuckians arr
not lacking in courtesy and hospitality
} When the train reached Louisville it wa
, stormed by an admiring, curious, surglnI
mob which followed the party to the Gal
House.
Including the speech tonight, GoVerno
Roosevelt has addressed nine audiences IL
Kentucky since 8 o'clock, when he spok
{ at Henderson. Tomorrow he will res
: quietly, reaching Lexington at 6p. N

"LAST DAYS OF
The CONFEDEUACY. u
General John B. Gordon Delivered Ills
Splendid Lecture to a Largo Au-
dienCe at TaleV0ll.

On last Saturday night one Of the largest
and most intelligent audiences that ever
assembled in Tazewell gathered in the
Presbyterian church to hear that old hero
of the Lost Cause" General John b.
Gordon, deliver bis celebrated lecture,
"The Last Days Of the Confederacy."
The audience was not disappointed in
its expectations. We have never seen O
crowd more thoroughly in sympathy with
speaker. This not only pertained to the
number of old Confederates who were
present but to the younger portion Of the
audience, who had learned only by ira
dition of the work and life Of the Con-
tederate soldier.
General Gordon's lecture was not de-
scription Of the great battles OF the Civil
War, but was thrilling and amusing mar
alive of number of important incidents
of that war and the character Of the Con-
federate soldier. Some parts Of the ad'
dress were eloquent beyond description,
especially bis tributes to Jackson, Lee
johnson and Grant. His closing remarks
were a tribute to the "Stars and Stripes,
and we have never heard anything more
grandly eloquent than Gordon's tribute to
"Old Glory" He seemed to strike pa
tr;ot;c chord in the breasts of the audience,
and loud applause followed his numerous
illusions to the heroes of the "Lost Cause
and for those who fought for the preserva'
ton of the Union.
General Gordon's visit to Tazewell viii
be long remembered by those who heard
him, and his lecture has made profound
impression upon our people.

election will be immense. The country
need not be surprised II New York State

Now comes a we'll authenticated state
ment that Webster Davis received $780,
900 from President Kruger TO come to
America and stir up sympathy for the
Beers by advocating the election Of Bryan.
We have noticed that Davis has been kept
silent recently, at least that he Is making
no speeches. We expect the Bryanites
knew the exposure was coming.
]. Taylor Ellyson, State Chairman OF
the Democratic party, is still boasting
about the majority for Bryan In Virginia.
He knows but for his machine this State
would 70 by large majority for McKin'
ley, and thas the Republicans would elect
six out Of the ten Congressmen. Ellysons
confidence in the result is not based upon
the support Of the people, but upon the
frauds the machine will practice under his
direction.

ians Killed In Louisiana.
Washington, October 15.-The Presl-
dent will recommend to Congress the pay
ment of an indemnity to the families Of
the four Italians who were the victims OF
mob at Iallulah, La, about two years ago.
A report from a special agent of the de-
partment of justice clearly established the
fact that the men were killed by the mob,
and that none Of the perpetrators OF the
crime was ever punished by the State au
thorities, notwithstanding the representa-
tons of the national government. Th'
governor of Louisiana caused an investiga
ton to be made and there were some pro
ceedings before grand jury, but the re
suit was that the national government
found itself bound to make some sort o
reparation in answer to the Italian govern
ment's representations.

Hong Kong, October IA column OF
troops was dispatched this morning to the
Kowioon frontier, with the object OF bar
ring armed refugees, either rebels or i'm.
perial troops, from entering British terri
tory when defeated. The rebels are re-
ported TO be three thousand strong thirty
miles north of the British frontier. A
thousand of Admiral Hos troops are 10
pursuit of them, while two thousand Chi
nese troops have left Canton, overland, to
intercept the rebels.
Admiral Ho has informed the governor
that the rebellion was carefully planned.
The rebels are anxious to conciliate the
villagers and gain the respect OF foreign
ers, hence the absence of outrage and pill
lage.
All indications point to the rising being
widespread. Outbreaks occurred stimuli
taneously in several centers Of Kwang
Tung 81. Apparently Kang Yu Wei, Sun
Yat Sen and the TriAds have amalgam'
ated their forces in common cause.-the
overthrow of Manchu rule in South China.

the foreign powers is anxiously awaited.

Figures Didn't Tell Trutb.

One night a young man in Divinity
hall at Yale undertook, with toy rifle,
to hit lamp, but his aim was poor,
and the ball passed through the win
dow of an eminent professor of sci
ence, and hit the wall This was an
opportunity Tor science, and the pro-
fessor set to work and computed the
curve, and traced the ball right back
TO the room of an innocent student who
didn't even know that the rifle had
been fired. In vain the student pro-
tested his innocence. There were the
infallible figures to prove his guilt, and
1t might have resulted in his suspension,
when the real culprit came forward
and confessed. He convinced the pro-
fessor that he had made mistake of
300 feet in his figures, and the man
of science was only too glad to drop
the matter right there.
