Cory Plot Said 30 Have Been Daacov-

London, Aug. 10. 4.15 a. m.-The
Daily News has the following despatch
from Pretoria dated Aug 0:
"A plot to shoot all the British officers
and to make Lord Roberts prisoner has
been opportunely discovered. Ten of
the ringIeaders were arrested and are
now in Jail.
Probably the plot was part of a con-
spiracy of which the attempted rising at
Johannesburg was the first Indication. :"
THE BOERs CAPTURED.
London, August o-The following re-
port, dated Pretoria, August s, has been
received from Lord Roberts:
Kitchener was informed yesterday by
an escaped British prisoner that De Vets
wagons had crossed the VaaI. After
wards heard the sound of guns which,
I think, must have been Methuen's as
directed him to take up a position be-
tween Potchefstroom and Lindlique,
where he could intercept the enemy who
crossed the river at De Vets drift.
Kitchener is crossing the VaaI with
cavalry and mounted infantry.

eign Chinese TO hostilities, The govern
ment at Washington has taken no action
in the nature Of protest and 1t is stated
officially that no such action viii ba
taken. On the contrary the United States
government recognizes the right Of any
power to protect It's citizens or their in-
terests when they are supposed to be in
jeopardy. AS indicative Of this policy,
it is stated in the highest official quarters
that If the United States citizens at
Annoy, China, were reported to be in
danger this government would maintain
its rights to promptly send an armed
force for their protection. This right Of
protection claimed by the United States
is conceded to be open to all powers
alike. At the same time, the state depart-
ment recognizes that there is q question
of wisdom involved in this particular
landing of troops. AS to whether our
government would express any doubt up
on the wisdom of the movement the
officials decline positively to say.

given publicity. 1t was said, however,
that the Senator spoke strongly in warn
ing the members Of the party present to
head off the ant1-imperialist movement
in this state.
'Outside of this state, said the Sena-
tor, "the movement has little weight, but
in Massachusetts, it has found hot bed. ="
In discussing Bryan's speech, the Sena-
tor declared that Bryan is attempting to
disguise the real issue, which Is 10 to l.
He urged a vigorous campaign and told
the gentlemen present that il victory Is
to be won, they must get out and fight.
Senator Hanna and Mr.. Bliss returned
to the Touraine and at six o'clock left by
the Fall River boat train for New York.

wife and son, the Stevenson party, Gov
ernor and Mrs. Thomas of Colorado. and
Col. Martin, sergeant-at-arms OF the ma

s'To the Democrats OF the United States
1.-The Democratic party and its friends
must meet the forces of corruption and
intimidation in politics this year by
thorough organization. A Democr attic
club or society should be organized in
every city, town, village and precinct in
the United States. Democrats and all
who are in sympathy with the principles
set forth by the Kansas City platform are
urgently requested to join Demo cratic
clubs or If none exists to assist in organ
izing them. This work of uniting the
forces of law and liberty into one great
systemized civic army should be carried
on simultaneously in every part of the
country and without delay.
''.rhe friends of government according
to the hitherto unchalIenged American
theory of political equality everywhere
under aur flag cannot afford to be less
jealous or less active than the advocates
OF an American colonial empire supported
by rifles
No patriotic citizen can 1gnora the at
tacks which are being made upon the
very foundations OF our present ire
proachable form of government. This
year. every citizen should be a politician
Clubs and societies should at once COM
municate with the Secretary Of the Ma
tional Association of Democratic Clubs,

The accusation nearly felled Cham

1t is j st as necessary to have your
glasses made to order as to have your
clothing made to order. Tt is more
so Clothing which does not fit, on
Iy makes you look bad. Glasses
which do not fit you, will prove a
permanent injury. There are few
people who can wear ready made
glasses, just as there are some who
can wear ready made clothing, but
they are scarce. Even when they can.
the fit is not SO absolutely perfect as
when the glasses are made for them.
