KING SERIOUSLY ILL.
The Government Will Soon Be Com
 peiied to Make Statement.

New York. October Recommending upon the report that King Edward is suf- fering from cancer in the throat, the London correspondent of the Journal and Advertiser says
 That the King has some ailment which has taken the color from his usually ruddy cheeks and given occa- sional enfeeblement to his gait. is un- doubted. The English papers, as rule. carefully refrain from making allusions to his ailment and rather incline to speak of his good state of health, but the fact cannot be long concealed hatAsomething serious is the matter with him. Tn the clubs, in high society and in the busi- ness circles of the city the main topic daily is the Kings condition.
 The old rumors. true or untrue, that the King is suffering from threatened an- |. erusom of the aerota, have penetrated every circle. It is impossible to get at his physicians, and his inquiries addressed to those surrounding him are met by dismal head-shaking. The government will soon be compelled to make some authoritative statement"

THREE WAITE MEN AND ELEVEN
 NEGROES KILLED IN RACE RIOT
S4,51s SOLDIERS
 OF UNITED STATES
LIEUTENANT GENERAL MILES
 MAKES ANNUAL REPORT IN WHICH HE PROTESTS AGAINST TOO MUCH GENERALIZATION.

New York, October 28.-Isieutenant Gen. total strength of the army at the pres ent time as S4513, of which number 33.S74 are in the United States; 4S,239 in the Philippines; 4.914 in Cuba, the remainder in small detachm ents, being In Porto Rico, Hawaii. China and Alaska. He says 1t Is expected that the force in the Phil ippines also can be reduced.
 General Miles does not approve of the present organization of the artillery corps saying 1t establishes another bureau in Washington. He believes In the former regimental organization.
 Speaking of the army canteen which Is abolished by the army reorganization law. he says that no injury has resulted In the main the law has been beneficial
 General Miles states his objection to the management of military affairs In the War Department in the following lan- guage:
 While Congress has made ample pro- vision for the management of military affairs in the organization of the army, whereby the companies. regiments. bri- gades divisions and departments are made the units of administration, and by statute has clothed the officials not only with executive authority, but with judi cial power and responsibility. the ten- dency has been to abolish and usurp the entire conduct of the military establish ment In the City of Washington, and es- pecially in the staff departments. This has been found most injurious in other armies and is one of the principal defects in our system. The evil has been in- creasing during the activities of the wars for the last three years to an extent that, in my judgment, requires serious consideration, and I recommend that de- centraliation be effected as far as possi- ble, and that all proper and lawful au- thority will be restored to subordinate commanders who are provided with an efficient organization and who can be safely intrusted with responsibility for the efficient and faithful administration of military affairs commensurate with their important commands.

PLEASED WITH SPEECH.
General Reyes Says United States
 Delegates Endorse It.

Mexico City October 2S.-Gen. Rafael Reyes. the delegate to the Pan-American conference from Colombia, and President of that country, said today to the repre- sentative of the Associated Press in al- fusion to the Washington comment on his speech at the banquet at Mexico's City Council to the delegates. in which he paid tribute to spain:
 T see nothing to modify in my words if properly understood. On the one hand it seemed to me natural and proper on an occasion when the representatives of all the nations of Spanish origin on this continent were gathered together to re- call the common source of our civiliza- tion and pay tribute that believed the United States delegates. as represent a.. tives of a generous people, would endorse that act as eminently right and proper.
 General Reyes added that he had been privately congratulated on his speech by MT. Davis and John Barrett. the United States delegates. so that evidently they had seen nothing blameworthy in 1t.

KINGS HEALTH IS
 CAUSE OF GOSSIP
RuMORS OF HIS HAVING CANCER CAUSE COURT DRESSMAKERS TO SUSPEND WORK ON coRo- NATION ROBES.

London, October 2S.-The pertinacity with which society discusses the rumors regarding the health of King Edward has had serious effect on the court dressmakers, who expected were now to have been busily engaged on the corona tion robes, etc. They are keeping large staffs In almost complete idleness. The members of society have apparently made up their minds that they will not go to any expense until they feel sure that the coronation will really occur. There is very clearly defined impression in the diplomatic corps that the King Is threatened with some organic complaint
 Some go so far as to say 1t is cancer or Bright's disease, or both Probably the truer solution Is that the cancer ru- nor springs from the Kings oft-express- ed dread of cancer, which has made such ravages In his own family and that what ever ailment may threaten him it has not reached any definite or dangerous stage else he would be quite unable to keep up his incessant round of public du- ties and private pastimes with the regu- larity and zeal which he continues to dis play. In spite of these facts ther Is un- doubtedly very alarming premonition in court circles, especially among the wo- men. that the King will never live to be crowned. which is having a serious effect on trade. The favorite story in this con nection now current is that a palmist told Queen Alexandria not long ago that she would never live to be crowned.

DALLAS RATES UNCHANGED.
Interstate Commerce Commission Dis
 misses Complaint.

washington October 2g.-The inter- state commerce commission today through Chairman Knapp announced its decision in the case of the Dallas Freight Bureau and others against the Austin and North western Railroad Company and others.
 sComplainants alleged that higher rates In force from Northern and Eastern mar kets to Dallas and Fort Worth than those in effect over lines through those Texas cities to Galveston and Houston violate section four of the interstate commerce statutes, but the case. the commission says was tried upon an erroneous the ory that market and railroad competition says. was tried upon an erroneous the meaning of the long and short haul clause of the law. It Is found that the testi- mony which bears solely upon complain ants contention that the law forbids higher rates on any and all freights for the shorter distance to Dallas or Fort Worth than for the longer distance to Galveston or Houston was not sufficient to enable the commission to determine whether the circumstances and conditions governing the transportation in question are or are not substantially similar in respect of all kinds and classes of freight traffic.
 The decision Is that the complaint must be dismissed but with leave to complain ants to challenge the existing differences in rates as to particular articles or any class of freight by supplemental com plaint or in a new proceeding

CAMPAIGN IN RANDOLPH.
Col. w. A. Handley and John T. HeflIn
 Speaking for New Constitution.

Roanoke. October 2S.-(Special )-Col. w. A. Handley and Hon. John T. Hefiin, delegates to the late constitutional con vention, are spending two weeks in a canvass of this county for the ratlfica- tion of the new constitution. They report that they have met but one white man who announced himself opposed to the constitution, and that many Populists and Republicans have given assurance that they will support the new instrument. One of the leading Republicans of the county, a candidate on the Republican county ticket last year. authorized the speakers to state from the stump that he is for the new constitution, not only with he can exert.
 The meeting at Wedowee Saturday was a fair sample of what has taken place at all the appointm ents. A large audience assembled in the courthouse. Colonel Handley opened the discussion and for over an hour kept the crowd en- tertained and interested.
 MT. Handley was frequently applauded, and at the conclusion of his speech every man in the house arose and he was given three rousing cheers.
 MT. Hefiin was the next speaker. For about an hour he defended the new con stitution with argument, humor and elo- quence. MT. Handleyu said he was an old man and couldn't afford to advocate a constitution for his children and grand- children to live under unless he knew 1t was an improvement upon the old. MT. Hefiin said that he was a young man with his future before him, and he could not afford to deceive the people, for he had noticed that those who deceived the people once were never placed in posi- tion to deceive them again.
 These gentlemen say that Randolph is safe for ratification by a large ma jority. Democrats. Republicans and Pop ulists are united on platform of honest elections and white supremacy.

GREGORY M. TSILKA
 TELLS OF CAPTURE
WAS WITH THE PARTY WHEN MISS STONE AND HIS WIFE WERE CARRIED OFF BY THE BRieANDs.

New York, October 28--Gregory M. Tsllka, husband of the woman held cap tive with Miss Ellen M. Stone by Bull garian brigands in a letter dated Sa- lonica. Turkey, Ootober '. and received today by the Rev. Howard A. H. Briggs pastor of Waverly Congregational church, Jersey City Heights. says:
 My Dear Briggs: On Tuesday, the first, a week ago. a large party of us were travelling from Bonsko to Djumajo. On our way we found ourselves surround ed by a band of men, about thirty in number. all armed with the latest rifles. They demanded our surrender, and then made us climb up thick forest, stop ping here and there to examine the place. After half an hour or more we were expected to sit down. Then they choose Miss Stone, an American mission ary and my wife, and taking two of our horses they went further in while they kept us, the rest of the party, until the next morning, before we could go and re- port to the government. Just at the time, before the taking of the ladies, we had to witness a most terrible thing. They had captured at the same time Turk, and while they tied his hands back of him, they were beating him with the backs of their rifles and finally, taking his own knife, they stabbed him several times and he fell dead
 For a long time we had to wait and hear nothing. Oh. the agony and the sleepless nights that we have spent wait ing and watching with no answer. Fi- nally we got letter telling us that the reason of their capture was to get money. They demand more than $100O00. It is a very large sum and 1t seems impossible to get it. I am confident that our friends in America will do all in their power. Pray for us. When my wife gets free you shall have long story of her experiences. God grant her freedom.
 T should have written sooner, but I have been in the hands of the govern ment being examined and cross-examined almost every day. Many people have suf- fered terribly on this account. Some have been beaten to death with the hope that before they died they would tell where the missionaries are. The inhabitants all around the place where they were cap tured are in prison or have run away and deserted their homes. Your friend,
 GREGORY M. TSILKA."
 Constantinople, October 2S-Those who have been in hourly expectation of favor able news regarding Miss Stone and her companion have again been disappointed. Nothing definite has yet been reached in the negotiations with the brigands.
 A point which is much discussed among those interested in the case is what shall be done if the brigands insist on being paid the 925,00O (Turldsh) which they at first demanded. Scarcely half that sum is available thus far and it Is believed that if such an agreement on reduced terms be impossible, the offer of less sum than f25,0O0 CTurkish), will be with drawn even at the cost of the life of Miss Stone.
