PERSONAL ENCOUNTER.

The first joint debate of the Congress
sional campaign in the Norfolk district
yesterday resulted in personal
encounter between Candidate Law
less and John l.. Watson, q
prominent broker of Portsmouth. Mr..
Lawless was concluding the discussion
when suddenly he referred to Mr.. May
nards vote on the fellow-servant bill
while he was a member Of the State legis-
lature. Mr.. Maynard was accused of
voting against this bill, which provided
that chairs be put in department stores
and factories for girls. The moment it
was referred to a wave of excitement
swept over the crowd, and Mr.. Maynard
was on his feet in second, protesting
against the introduction of new matter
into the close of the debate.
Mr.. Lawless read the record of the
proceedings in the legislature when the
bill was up for consideration, and Mr.
Maynard suggested that Mr.. Lawless
read another page, which J ad been ac-
cidentally turned back. Mr.. Maynard
said that he was not getting fair treat
ment, and demanded that he be given a
right to read his record and set himself
right. Mr.. Lawless told Mr.. Maynard
that he would read anything he might
desire when man out in the audience
shouted out that Mr.. Maynard was not
srettinO fair treatment
'FWhat is that you said, sir?" asked
Mr.. Lawless.
Mr.. John L. Watson, Of Portsmouth,
replied 81 said Maynard was not getting
a square deaP'
Mr.. Lawless answer: What you say is
not so".
Mr.. Watson shouted "You are liar. "
Quicker than flash Mr. Lawless
hurled glass full of ice water mt the
head of Mr.. Watson, and a moment later
knocked the table in front of him over.
He then sprang down to the ground and
struck Mr.. Watson, knocking him to the
ground
Mr.. Watson stated afterward that he
was wrong and would apologize to Mr..
Lawless at once.

THE NEW REGISTRATION,

1t is already apparent that the negro
vote of the State will be very largely re-
duced by the first registration under the
new constitution, which is just beginning.
The franchise clause, embracing the
temporary understanding feature, will
cut out thousands, as it was designed 10
do, but the indications are that many
many who might register will not do 50.
Being apprehensive lest they might be
turned down, many who are entitled to
have their names enrolled will not 90 to
the registrars. News comes from var
ious parts of the State to the effect that
the negroes are taking very little interest
in the registration. Nansemond county
seems to have been the first one to begin
the work of registration. On the first
day at Suffolk only 1872 names were put
on the book, and but sixteen of these
were negroes. Three of the latter were
admitted under the understanding clause.
Only one white man was rejected. A
special from Suhock says many negroes
will not ask to register. In Cypress dis
trict of the same county, where the
negro population is large, less than one
fourth of the voters have registered, and
very little interest is being taken. The
boards all over the State are preparing
to begin the work of registration, which
must be completed by October / 8.

THE vICIOUSNESs of certain reprcsen-
tatives of that race was plainly in evil
dence in the negro congress in Atlanta
Yesterday when r. i. Jones, q New
Orleans delegate, declared that the time
had come when it was not for the white
man to decide the policy of this country,
but for the negro eff the white man
won't help us we will make him." he
said. ut is no longer for the white
man to say; it is for the negro to say,
and say we will If the white man does
not extend to US the helping hand we
will force him to it," The negro has
proven himself failure in much less
important positions than that of defining
the policy of country. and such utter
ances after the conservative expressions
of more sensible members Of the race
who are in attendance on the congress
must have been listened to with disgust.
Vicious threats, such as those made by
the New Orleans negro yesterday, will
do his race no good, nor will they help
10 speed the day of better feeling between
The races.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civiIiz-
ed world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought Of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Biliousness.
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Pros
tration or Heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower 20 clean out the system
and stop fermentation ofundigested food,
regulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need a few doses
of Green's August Flower, in liquid form,

SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST 9, 1902

WHILE EDWARD VII. has virtually
been King of England for about year
and a hall, the long-deferred GROWING
ceremonies did not take place uutll TO-
day. and Queen Victoria's eldest son Is
now de iure as well as de facto the rec
ognized head of the British empire.
The gorgeous ceremonies in connection
with the coronation are described in the
Gazette. The present king was born
November g. 184l, at Buckingham
Palace. London, and was 90 years
months and 13 days old when he ac-
ceded 20 the throne. He is now in his
61st wear. He is older at accession
than any monarch of England except
William ", who was aged GA years ~
months and days when his brother,
George ", died in 1880 The present
king was married to Princess Alexandra,
eldest daughter of the King OF Den
marx. on March 10, 1863, at Windsor
Castle. He has had two sons and three
daughters of whom one son and three
daughters are living. He has had SIX
grandchildren. King Edward Is the
thirty-ninth ruler of England since
William the Norman conquered the
land, in 1866; is the ffty-ffth ruler OF
England since Alfred the Great, who
died 1,0Ol years ago and is the first Ed
ward on the throne for 34S years. The
kings physical condition is still the
cause of much anxiety to his subjects,
and it is feared another ordeal, in the
from of a second operation, Is staring
him in the face. 1t is possible, how
ever, that this may be averted, but the
probabilities are said to be against him.
All hope the evening of his life may
be marked by a peaceful reign and that
his phvsical condition may not be so
critical as many suppose.

Wasbinoton ID C. August 9.

CCorrespOndence Of the Alexandra OaZeile'J
Washington, ID. c., August 8.
II has been demonstrated this sum-
mer that the governmental machinery
will run itself. The President is out Of
town. So are Mr.. Hay, the Secretary
of State; and Mr. Root, the Secretary OF
War. Mr.. Shaw, the Secretary OF the
Treasury, is in and out of Washington,
but out most of the time. Mr.. Payne,
the Postmaster General, spends the
time at the seashore OF in New York,
when his presence is not demanded in
Wisconsin by the political exigencles OF
a badly mixed campaign there. Mr..
Knox. the Attorney General, has left the
capital for the summer. Mr.. Hitchcock,
the Secretary of the Interior, Is absent,
and it is limited that he may or may not
return by the middle of September. Mr..
Moody. the Secretary of the Navy, has
been at his home in Massachusetts since
the President went to Oyster Bay. Mr.
Wilson. the Secretary of Agriculture,
has been busy in various sections OF the
United States since the hot season set
in. but not in Washington. 1t cannot
even be SAID that the men next IN au-
thority in the various executive depart
ments are at their posts. Heads OF de-
partments have left Washington for a
variety of purposes, but the routine wol K
goes on lust the same and the clerks
sing 81 don't care if you never come

petition of Rebecca Taylor, the War
Department clerk who was dismissed
from the service for adverse public crit
lcism of the method of the army i'll the
Philippines and of the administration,
and who asked for reinstatement,
alleging that the dismissal was

rules. The District Attorney holds that
he Secretary of War in removing her
from Office acted under rules by the
President for the Civil Service Commits
sion. She was not, the Government
holds, dismissed for religious or political
views or their expression but for violent
language in criticising the course of the
President in the conduct of the campaign
in the Philippines.

THE SITUATION AT SHENAN-

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 9.-The
situation in this city continues one OF
unbroken quiet in spite of published re-
ports to the contrary. Practice march
ing is being INDUCED in by the soldiers
during the day and in the evening dress
parade in the town serves to relieve the
monotony. Additional arrests on the
rioting charge are expected to be made
today, during which company of in
fantry will be on hand to prevent any
intimidation of the civil authorities. In
spite of the fact that the Anchor washery
was reported as having resumed yester-
day, the start was not made until today,
owing to damaged machinery. The
plant is one of the largest of its kind in
the region.

IN VIEW of the warships now under
construction, the navy, in the opinion OF
Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of the bureau
of navigation, will in the near future
re1uire the services of 10000 men, and
in his next annual report he will rec
ommend a large increase of the number
authorized by law. The limit is now
25. 500 men. President Roosevelt and
Secretary Moody coincide with the views
of Admiral Taylor in this matter, and
Mr.. Moody's recommendations Of a sub
stantial increase in the personnel OF the
navy will be transmitted to Congress by
the President with the latter's approval.
Those who are in charge of the govern
ment now are determined that there shall
be no decrease in the expenditures, but
rather that they shall be increased to
promotions commensurate with Il
"world power" Then, too, to raise
the money for such big expenditures the
high tariff rates must be maintained and
imperialism and trusts go hand-and-
hand together

RELEASED FROM CUSTODY. Harry
Knipple, charged with being implicated
in the lynching of the negro Craven at
Lccsburg and with having broken into
he Leesburg Jail, was released from
custody in Frederick, Md, yesterday at
he direction of Justice John Wood.
The release of the prisoner was ordered
after Justice Wood received dispatch
rom Joseph w. Gaver, counsel for the
accused, who represented him at the
hearing npon the requistion before Gov.
John Walter Smith in Baltimore yes
terday morning. Gov. Smith refused to
grant the requisitiOn on the ground that
Il was defective, the proper seal not
being attached. The prisoner was re-
leased in accordance with the agreement
reached Thursday that he was only to be
held until Gov Smith acted OH the re-
quisition. Justice Wood stated that as
there was no other charge against Knipple,
ne was bound to order his release after
the action taken by the governor.
Knipple has been in jail for one week
awaiting the action of the Virginia au-
thOrities.
Twelve men have been selected, two
from each of the six election districts in
Loudoun county, to compose the grand
Jury which meets Monday morning.
Judge Tebbs selected men upon whom
he can rely to make a through investiga-
ton of the lynehing of Charles Craven.
The men who will sit as members of this
body are among the leading citizens of
the county. 1t is not expected that all
the men who were held by the coroner's
jury will be indicted, but it is deemed
certain that a number of citizens will be
implicated. 1t is possible that indict-
ments will be found against some persons
who were not named by the coroner's
Jury.
