CHINESE ERECT BARRIERS.
And Prepare to Resist the Relief Column 90
Miles From Tien Ts:n.
(By the Associated Press.)


London, August 5.-(Sunday, $3.50 a. No.
Last nights dispatches add nothing to
the general information concerning the
progress of events in China. Although
the agents of the Cable Company at Tien
Tsin on July 30th asserted that the CEN
sorship of press dispatches had been
abolished it is evident that correspond
ents are not allowed to cable any ac-
count Of the advance in the direction of
Pekin. According to a dispatch from
Shanghai, dated August Bird, the principal
opposition will be met twenty miles west
of Tien Tsin, where it is stated the Chi
nese have erected extensive barriers and
distractions have been placed in the
river. Mines are said to have been To-
Gated under the railway, the line appar-
emily being left intact. Sheng the Ad-
ministrator Of Telegraphs and Railways
objected to the measures taken for the
defense of foreign settlements, the en-
rollment of volunteers and the presence
of numerous warships, and asked the for
eign consuls to suspend these measures
The British Consul replied by pointing
out that the measures were only intend
ed to strengthen the hands Of the lawful
Chinese authorities.
dispatch from st. Petersburg, dated
August 4th says that General Mozievsh
reports from Chita that part of General
Orloff's forces attacked and drove back
the Chinese regulars on July Goth, cap
turing one gun and number Of flags
and killing the Chinese commander and
200 men. The Russian loss was seven
killed and 20 wounded.
Reports from Berlin say that Prince
Henry in behalf of Emperor William
made the parting address bidding good
bye to the Fourth East Asian regiment,
which sailed from Bremerhaven in the
direction of China today

gle candidate in the field and took no
active part in the campaign. 1t was ex-
pected by the opposition that the defeat
of the amendment could be accomplished
through the Populist party. Their ap-
peal was made to the illiterate white
men with an effort to prejudice them
against the amendment. This failed, as
was shown last Thursday by few scat
tering whites voting against It. The
negro was not taken into account in the
campaign and as a result they were un-
organized. On election day he was thor
oughly demoralized and a great many
were voted for White Supremacy. Some
did not vote at all The white manhood
was thoroughly organized and determine
tion was written upon the face of every
one. Against such determination and
work as characterized the white men on
Thursday no power can prevail. Only
the East can fully know what it means
to be rid of the negro in politics, and
the West may be assured that we APP
preciate the way in which they stood by
us in this hour of deepest need.

THE REPUBLIC FOES
Abide Not Without But With.
in, Declares Stevenson.
Our Safety Rests Not Upon Material Wealth But
Upon the integrity and Lofty Patriot
ism Of the People.
(By the Associated Press.)

Bloomington, Ills, August A hearty
welcome was given Hon. A. E. Stevenson
on his arrival here at 2SO o'clock this
afternoon. A big crowd gathered at the
Union station. Carriages carried the
party to the Democratic Vice President
ial candidate who was returning from
Minnesota to prepare for the campaign,
to Franklin square, where, just across
the street from the Stevenson home was
the speakers stand.
Judge Lawrence Weldon welcomed Mr..
Stevenson and eulogized his life and ca
reer in a speech of twenty minutes. Mr.
Stevenson replied in part, as follows:
fThe future danger of the Republic is
not from foreign foes, as during the first
two decades, nor along sectional lines as
at later period of our history But
with the multiplication and increase of
individual fortunes-thus emphasizing the
distance that separates their possessors
law and of constitutions; with the rapid
augmentation of aggregated wealth and
the murmurings and unrest that follow as
night and day with the influx and growth
of an element whose principle in action
is the destruction of the safeguards of
law and of constitution with the rapid
increase in every field of endeavor of APP
pliances which merclessly dispense with
the labor of human hands, and with the
population pressing upon means of sub
sistence-who can doubt that from all
these may spring dangers to society to
the State, unknown to the first century
of our history?
THE safety of the Republic during the
century upon which we are soon to enter
! will rest, not upon its material wealth, it's
| physical power, nor its splendor, but
upon the conservatism, the intelligence,
the virtue, the lofty patriotism of all the
| people.
"At the fireside, in the schoolroom, in
public assemblage, everywhere through
out this broad land let there be inculca-
ted o sublime love of country, a venera-
ton for government, for law for Justice
for all that it has cost our race the toll
and sacrifice of centuries to active. In
this highest and grandest sense let there
be taught veneration for the memory Of
our fathers-the builders of the Republic"
The entire proceedings were non-par-
tisan.

CHATHAM rs REDEEMED.
Fusionist Elect Only Part of Their Ticket in
That County.

Especial to News and Observer.)
Pittsboro, n. c., August 4.-The Demo-
Gratis of Chatham elect H. A. London for
the Senate and ]. d. McIver and r. H.
Hayes for the House, also w. E. Brooks
for register of deeds.
During the sitting of the canvassing
board j. j. jenkins, came before them
representing the Fusion crowd and read
long unsworn-to protest against count
ing the votes of several townships, al
leging generally irregularities in the
election, upon which w. L. London, Dem
ocratic chairman, arose and vigorously
charged unfair means and attempted
fraud upon the part of the Fusionists in
certain townships where they had small
representing the Fusion crawd and read
the limitations contained in Jenkins pro-
test. On motion the protest was laid on
the table.
1t is generally believed that Bear
Creek, and other townships would have
given a much larger Democratic vote but
for the false statements which Fusion
leaders caused to be circulated to the
effect that the Legislature had again met
and put $500 property qualification in
the amendment. These reports, it is
believed, acquired their circulation from
kilograms sent out during the day OF
election. But for this influence it is be-
lieved the entire Democratic ticket would
have been elected. Registrars and Judges
of election for Williams township from
their observation of the vote as it was
being polled are willing to swear that
had they been allowed to count the vot,
the result would have been at least ::
Democratic majority. This would have
more than elected the entire Democratic
ticket in the county.

High Handed Methods of Fusionists in Ran
dolph County.
Especial to the News and Observer

Especial to the News and Observer.)
Asheboro, n. c., August 4.--Ran-
dolph's official board of canvassers
met today, and after hearing evidence
until late adjourned until Monday.
All legal votes cast will be counted.
No election was held in Cedar Grove
township except during a part of the
day owing to disorder and confusion
arising early in the day.
After organization of the judges,
j. S. Ridge was appointed to receive
and deposit the votes. Eli Yeargson,
Republican judge, refused to do any
thing except receive and deposit tick
cts and for some time deposited the
votes, and when Ridge would at
tempt to deposit the ballots as direct
ed when the judges organized, Yearg-
son snatched the ballot and deposited
it. The election was declared closed
until order was restored. Finally
Yeargson resigned and the election
proceeded, but not until several DEM
ocrats had left without voting. 4earg-
son explained his bad conduct by stat
ing on oath today that he was advised
by Marshal Millillen in letter to de-
post Republican and Populist votes.
The board has sent for the letter.
Numbers of negroes and illiterate
white men in various parts Of the
county presented themselves with
Republican tickets with two or three
anti-amendment votes or county tick
cts pinned together. Such was the
case in Cedar Grove township. In
Cedar Grove some of these tickets
found their way into the boxes. At
Asheboro precinct Marshal Mililen at
tempted to break up the election, but
it was held up stairs in the court
house and his conduct did not dis
turb the election. Finally he went
to the Republican challenger, who
told him to challenge every Demo
crat who offered to vote or prevent
them from doing SO. He sent tele-
gram to Ed. Mendenhall, in Randle-
man township to do the same there,
but neither of them obeyed his in
structions. He sees his end approach
ing, for his political power is gone
and instead of threatening and abus-
ing and forcing men to do his bidding
he will probably find himself engaged
in answering for his misdeeds in of
fee before the Commissioner OF Inter
nal Revenue. His high-handed meth
DDS are en- outrage.
