Representative Rixey was here a
little while yesterday, accompanied by
Mr.. Albert Fletcher, of Warrenton, who
was member of the constitutional con-
yention. 81 am not talking politics,
said Mr.. Rixey, "for / am taking a
vacation" Mr.. Rixey left for home
early in the day. Mr.. Fletcher de-,
clared that the prospects for the annual
horse show at Warrenton this year, to
be held August 81 and rs, are the
brightest for years. The citizens are
making unusual preparations for the
event. Mr.. Fletcher is one the most
influential business men in that section
of Virginia.
The State Department has taken
active steps to save the life of DIR. Rus
sell Wilson, a young Ohio physician,
who is held under arrest at Bluehelds
by the Nicaraguan military authorities.
Wilson was member of a filibustering
party which made a landing near Mon
kew Point, about four miles from Blue
fields. Most of the party were captured,
owing to the inability of the commander
of the expedition to land reiniorcements
on account of heavy weather, and among
the number was Wilson. The Nicara-
guam general was about to execute him
summariIy, but was induced by the
pleas of some of the English-speaklng
people of Bluefelds to allow the law to
take its course. This meant a trial by
court-martial, and it is the understand
ing that a death sentence was almost
inevitable.

STATEMENT FROM COAL OPERA
TORS.

New York, July 2S.-Some of the
presidents of the anthracite coal com
panies have today authorized the state
ment that no arrangements have been
made to resume the mining of anthracite
coal at any fixed date. When an at
tempt to open mines is made it will be
general, and not confined, as has been
stated, to few well-protected collieries.
According to the statement the operators
are of the opinion that the miners will
become discouraged after a time ane
will return to work in droves.
A denial is made of the published re-
port that the operators have taken adj
vantage of the strike to advance prices Of
anthracite. No coal has been sold at
over the schedule figure and no advant-
age of the public will be taken when
mining is resumed

sHoRN OF ITS sPLENDOR.

London, July 23.-It is now feared
that the coronation will be so slimly at
tended that it will almost approach a
fzle. Only one-fifth of the members Of
the House of Commons have applied for
tickets, and the peers are scattered
over the various summer resorts and do
not want to return. The Duke of Nor
folk has been obliged to write personal
letters in order to get enough persons of
note present to make decent showing.
There will also be total absence OF
special embassies, as the American
special Ambassador, Whitelaw Reid, the
last of the special Ambassadors, will
leave week before the coronation occurs,
not having received an invitation to
remain.

SCHOOL TEACHERS MURDERED

Washington, July 23.-The War De-
partment this morning received the fol-
lowing cablegram from acting Governor
Wright, of the Philippines: "John E.
Wells, 2OS Montgomery Av., Proyi-
dence, r. l., his cousin, Louis A.

who have been missing in Cebu, MUIR
derend by ladrones and their bodies re-
covered. The leader Of the murdered
has been killed and eight others cap
tured by the constabulary." The news
of the disappearance of these four school
teachers came in press dispatches about
month ago. The men had not yet
been assigned to schools, having arrived
after the beginning Of the vacation sea
son. They had gone to Cebu merely to
look over the country and were on a
picnic some distance in the interior when
it is supposed they were set upon and
captured and afterwards murdered. No
details of the affair have reached the
department from an official source other
than contained in the above cablegram.

DISPATCHES from London today show
that there is yet considerable anxiety
concerning the condition of King Ed
ward, who, it is believed, has the shadow
of death lingering over his path. 1t Is
the conviction of those in positions to
know that second operation is new
table and that in the near future, and
that his strength will be unable to with
stand another ordeal like the one he has
recently passed through. He is said to
be suffering from troubles which have
become chronic and that his coronation
and demise may not be events far apart.
This announcement will be received with
regret by many in the United States who
had hoped that he was approaching com
plete recovery.

ZINC FDWARD'S CONDITION.

London, July pa high court Of
fetal who has seen King Edward many
times since the operation was per-
formed upon His Majesty, today gave
the following careful statement with
the utmost precaution the King will get
through the postponed coronation,
though it is likely he will not go to
London until the night before the cere-
mony and afterward will Immediately
return to Cowes. The reason for hay
ing the coronation so soon is a grave
one, as the kings physicians believe ne
will never be so well again. The
operation. which was far more serious
and complicated than any one was led
to believe, revealed diseased conditions
involving a large portion Of the in
testinal cavity. The operation re-
moved the immediate danger and gave
chance for rally, which
the king wonderfully availed himself OF.
But the conditions are still such that
second operation is only a question OF
time The operation will probably
be performed in the autumn. OF the
kings chances from this operation the
doctors are unwilling to predict. The
king is eager to be crowned soon for the
sake of the empire and feeling that II
would be unsafe to postpone it longer
Court circles are very gloomy. The
Queen, who is wonderfully devoted D., e
the King, sees almost nobody. The
Prince of Wales so frequently gives way
to tears in his fathers presence that the
doctors seek not to leave them together
While smoking is largely responsible fol
the kings trouble, he is allowed an oc
casional cigar as deprivation now would
be of no avail. 1t would be useless Il
deprive him of this solace." This state
ment confirms the earlier statement
which has never been denied, of thu
eventual necessity of second operation

consequence there has been a marked
