TAZEWELL VA, THURSDAY JANUARY "a 1901

Several other personages are likely TO he
present at the function, which probably
will be ceremony never to be equaIlel
in this country.
The record of the last days of the reign
of Victoria is not easy to tell. The cor
respondent of the Associated Press was
the only correspondent admitted to o.
borne House, and his interview with Sir
Arthur John Bigge, private secretary to
the late Queen, was the only official state
ment that had been given out.
Her Last Illness.
For several weeks the Queen had been
failing. On Monday week she summone'l
Lord Roberts and asked him some very
searching questions regarding the war IN
South Africa. On Tuesday, she went II
drive, but was visibly affected. On
Wednesday she suffered paralytic stroke,
accompanied by intense physical weak
ness. 1t was her first illness in all hr
eiglty.one years, and she would not admit
it. Then her condition grew so seri n
that, against her wishes, the family werr
summoned. When they arrived her lea
son had practically succumbed to parall 'lr
and weakness. The events of the last few
davs are well known.
At the lodge gates the watchers waited
nervously. Suddenly along the drive from
the house came torseman who cried /:
"The Queen is dead" as he dashed
through the crowds.
Then down the hillside rushed a myriad
of messengers. Soon the surrounding
country knew that King ruled over Great
Britain. The local inhabitants walked as
if in a dream through the streets Of Cow e.
but they did not hesitate tc stop an'I
drink the health of the new monarch.

THEY WRECKED
TWO SALOONS.
Work Of Mrs. Carrie Nation and Her
FRIENDS at Wichita.
RESULT OF TEN MINUTES CAMPAIGN.
With IIatchets Concealed Under ClOakS
The Four Women Invade BarrOOm
Did Not Leave q Complete Piece
of Glass In the Place.

Wichita, Kan, January 21.-Mrs Car
RE Nation came back to Wichita today
after her recent, incarceration, and the net
result of ten minutes of work by her this
afternoon are two wrecked saloons, the
pieces of which are being cold fought for
souvenirs. Mrs. Nation was assisted by
Mrs. Julia Evans, Mrs. Lucy Wilhert and
Mrs. Lydia Muntz, all Of the local W. G..
Z. U. organization. They caused over
81 800 damage.
With hatchets concealed under their
cloaks they entered the saloon Of James
Burns, on Douglas avenue, and did not
leave complete piece of glass or work
ing slot machine in the place. Show cases,
plate glass windows and doors were broken
into smilhereens.
Next they ran to John Herrig's saloon,
and had everything in the front of the
room broken when he appeared with re-
volver, placed it at Mrs. Nations head,
and said that he would blow out her brains
if she did not desst.
She yielded, and ran to the Carey Hotel
bar, where three policemen met her. She
struck at Detective Sutton with a poker.
He showed her aside youth struck him in
the face. A policeman struck the youth
and knocked him down. The police then
overpowered Mrs. Nation and her friends
and took them to the city prison, followed
by two thousand people.
Chief of Police Cudbon discharged the
prisoners after they reached the jail, and
is heartily condemned by the citizens.
After leaving the city building Mrs.
Nation began a street lecture. Shaking
her fist at the crowd, she said
"Men OF Wichita, this is the right arm
of God, and 1 am destined tu wreck every
saloon in your city,"
The women procured wagon and rode
through the streets singing Nearer, My
God, TO Thee" and other hymns. They
halted IN front of the saloons they had
smashed, and held prayer meetings.
1t is estimated that five thousand per-
sons, men and women, have viewed the
wrecks since o'clock.

ROTHSCHlLD IN A DUEL.
Fiuhts French Count for Long Standing
Insult.

Paris. January 20.-The long expected
duel between the Count De Lubersac and
Baron Robert De Rothschild was fought
with swords at IL O'Clock this morning on
Baron Edmond De Rothschild's estate, at
Bouogue, and resulted in wounded arm
for the former, compelling the stOppage of
the affair."
Sixteen desperate engagements took
place and the sleeves of their shirts were
literally torn to pieces by the points OF
their swords as the duelsts repeatedly
lunged at each other. At the sixteenth
onslaught Baron De Rotschild lunged at
the Count, who tried to parry, but failed,
and the Baron's sword penetrated his arm
Just above the elbow, and issued at the
armpit. The physicians declared the
Count's life was not in danger, but that it
was impossible to continue the duel. Count
De Lubersac was then driven back to
Paris.
Baron De Rothschild only attained his
majority yesterday and lost no time in set
ting his account with the Count.
The Rotschild-Lubersac incident, which
brought out four duels, and its origin in a
bows quarrel, dating from the time when
Count De Lubersac and Baron Robert De
Rothschild were at college. They quarrel
led one day in regard to tennis court
which Was occupied by Rothschild and
which Count De Lubersac wanted. During
the quarrel Lubersac called bis adversary

bers of the Virginia delegation in Congress,
as shown by the following special to the
Leader;
"The last few days has developed de-
cided reaction, and some anti-Swanson
men in the delegation are not too well
pleased with the attempt to make 1t APP
pear that there is practical unanimlty
among the Virginians in Congress on the
question. A prominent member of the
Virginia delegation, whose name could be
used if it was thought necessary, said to-
day to the Leader correspondent In the
presence of others, that he would accept
wager that Mr.. Swanson did not have a
majority of the delegation without count
ing himself, and he was not sure that he
had a naorty even then. He said he
was tired of hearing it said that Swanson
was sure of the delegation in congress.
He. for one, thought the members of the
delegation ought to stand as individuals
on a question of this kind, and ought to
interfere as little as possible with
questions of State politics 1t had been
made to appear, however, that Mr.
Swanson carried the delegation in his vest
pocket, and was using it as make-believe
that there was an overwhelming demand
for his nomination. This, in the opinion
of the member was placing the delegation
in false light, and was creating an im'
preston that was not warrented by the
facts"

General Macarthur Says Drunkenness
Is No More Noticeable Than 10
Garrisons.

Washington, Jan. 20.-In view Of the
debate in the Senate over the alleged
drunkenness and licentousness in the
Philippines, and in order to obtain defn.
ite information as to the real condition OF
affairs in the respects mentioned, Adju.
tant. General Corbin on January 10 sent Q
cable message to General Macarthur, at
Manila, as follows
Telegraph the condition of the Army
in Manila and elsewhere in the Philippine
Islands with reference to drunkenness
and use of intoxicating liquors. Are
houses of prostitution licensed, protected.
or in any way encouraged by the military
authorities. CoRBIN."
General Macarthur replied as follows:
manila, January 10.
"Adjutant. General, Washington
"With reference to your telegram Of
10th, drunkenness in this Army is no
more noticeable here than in the garrisons
in the United States. Considering the
whole force as unit. it is probably very
much less. In Manila drunken men are
very noticeable. The effect Of drunkard
in public place is to create the impres.
sion among citizens of extensive disorders
throughout the whole force, which is not
the case, The Army Is in splendid discip.
line and a high state Of efficiency, doing
the hardest kind Of service in the most
faithful and inspiring manner. Houses Of
prostitution are not licensed, protected or
encouraged. MACARTHUR"

Rhea-WaIker Contest.

The proof in Pulaski county so far in
the contest of j. A. Walker for w. f.
Rhea's seat in Congress, has been confined
TO irregularities, and an effort to show
that the ticket was complicated and diff
cult to vote. The proof shows that &. w.
Harman got the form of the Pulaski ballot
from J. A. Stone, of Bristol, and that the
county electoral board adopted the form
thus gotten by Mr.. Harman, except that
the Pulaski ticket was spaced differently
by the printer The law requires that all
of the parties connected with printing the
ballots shall be sworn. 1t appears from
the proof that those parties simply signed
the printed oath, thinking, that that was
taking the oath. The oath was not ad-
mlnistered to them by an officer author
lied TO administer an oath, Some irregu-
larity has also been shown in sending out
the ballots to the judges of election. The
law requires that the packages of the ballots
be sealed and sent out. 1t seems that one
package at least was sent to judges of Har-
mony precinct by H. D. Howard not SEAL
ed, but wrapped up in paper and tied
With string, and that Mr.. Howard united
the ballots to wrap them up more secure
". looked at ole of them and then tied
them ND again. Some few witnesses have
been introduced to prove that man oi
average intelligence would have some diff
Guilty in casting the ticket given to him
Just before voting, his time for preparing
the ballot being limited to two minutes
But the proof also shows that a similar
difficulty would arise in casting almost any
ballot prepared according 10 the Virgins
law with the same number of candidates
printed thereon as were in the field IN the
last presidential election. The ballots O
some Of the precincts in Pulaski county
have been recounted, namely, those of the
West Ward of Pulaski, Newbern, Hunters
Springs and perhaps others. A number
of ballots were found among those Of th'
West Ward of Pulaski and Hunter

AMERICAS SYMPATHY.
Messages From President Mckinley and
Secretary Hay.

Washington, January 22.-Four days of
anxiety had, in large measure, prepared
official Washington for the news which was
flashed across the cable this afternoon of
the death of the Queen OF England. All
was in readiness for the execution OF the
formaties which are indispensable to such
events. While the cabinet was in session
the President and his advisers we're IN
constant receipt of all the news which
came from Osborne House. When the
end came, it found appropriate messages
of coincidence framed and orders ready for
half-nasting the flags over the executive
departments and carrying out the usual
formalities. The half-masting of the ma
tional ensign has been done rarely on the
occasion of the funeral of some great
worlds ruler, but never before in the case
of the death of monarch.
Secretary Hay, upon being assured
through the physicians certificate, as
furnished him by the Associated Press, of
the death of Queen Victoria, promptly
cabled the following message to Ambsssa'
dor Choate at London
Department of State,
Washington, January %, 1901.
Choate, Ambassador, London:
You will express to Lord Lansdowne the
profound sorrow of the government and
of the people of the United States at the
death of the Queen, of the deep sympathy
we feel with the people of the British En-
pire in their great affliction.
JOHN HAY.
Later, the President sent the following
message to King Edward VII:
His Majesty, the King, Osborne House,
Isle of Wight:
have received with profound sorrow
the lamentable tidings of the death of Her
Majesty, the Queen Allow me, sir, to
offer my sincere sympathy and that of the
American people in your personal bereave'
ment and III the loss Great Britain has
suffered in the death of its venerable and
illustrious sovereign, whose noble life and
benefcent influence have promoted the
peace and won the affection of the world.
WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
The White House flag was half.masted
at $3.50 p. m. The royal standard flying
over the embassy buildings was perhaps
the fret in Washington to sink slowly hall
way down the tall staff, giving notice tc
official Washington OF the sad event. The
rapidity with which the news spread was
remarkable, and within short half houl
the members of the diplomatic body here
began to appear at the British embassy
bearing cards of coincidence.
Both houses of Congress adopted appro
} pirate resolutions and the House adjourn
ed as mark of respect,
Nothing remains to be done by th'
; United States government save to ex
\ change through the slow process of th'
mail the formal expressions Of regre
which are prescribed by internationa
! etiquette.

CONDITIONS IN VENEZUELA.
Politicians Making a Determined Raid
on Asphalt Company.

Port of Spain, Trinidad, January IL
The arrivals today f,om Venezuela con-
firm the reports of the existence of crit
ical condition of affairs there. A former
Venezuelan minister asserts that the pol
iicians at Caracas are making determ'
~ined raid on the Bermudez Asphalt Com
pany.
He adds that they tried it before
squeezing $4,000 out Of the company
when United States Minister LOomis pro-
tested and stopped further action of this
description. The government. the minis
ter also says, listened Ito reason then but
has now lost its head through greed, and
offers to restore the company's property
for a million dollars, although it is said to
have been illegally taken by dictatorIa
decree.
In addition, the assertion is again made
that If foreign governments permit the ac'
tion of the Venezuelan authorities to pass
without some protest, all foreign investors
will be driven FROM South America, toi
the latter claim they are always being IL
legally pluudered.
In this connection the assertion is made
that no former Venezuelan government
would have dared to act as this one towarC
Washington. 1t is explained that th'
Venezuelan authorities are counting oil
the disinclination of strong nations Il
coerce weak ones.
AT the Office here of the Orinoco Com
pany, whose two steamers were recenti'
seized by the Venezuelan authorities, tn
manager says the British minister at Oar
acae, MIR. Haggard, has informed tn
American minister that the British gov
ernment will not protect the company
because it's shareholders are Americans
The company is said to be losing beavii
through the seizure of the steamers.
The commander Of the French cruise
s1chel, stationed at Carapuno, for tn
protection of the large French interests
that vicinity, reports that disturbances al
increasing.
