field near here where the military ma
nouevres are being held. His physician

suade him because of the dangerous drop

piled 81 desire to share my soldiers
hardships." His majesty lay on a
blanket beneath a tree covered with a
second blanket and with his mantle as a
pillow. rhe officers of his staff lay
around. The emperor at four O'Clock
this morning, washed at neighboring
pump and then set on an inverted barrel
while a corporal shaved him. The troops
received his act with much enthusiasm.

will use a 16-horsepower Mercedes, the
Grown Prince of Saxony, 60-horse-
power Mercedes, and A other machines
will be used for various purposes such as

AN TJNCALLED-FOR ASSAULT. j. >.
Thornton, the proprietor of warehouse
and van company, in Chicago, was AS
sauIted Yesterday during the labor parade
because he was driving one OF his own
teams without having union card IN his
possession. Thornton hitcbed three
horses to one of his vans in the morning
and took A score or more of children out
to see the parade. He attempted to
haul nothing but his guests. For three
hours he stood with his wagon at
corner and watched the parade, and
when he attempted to drive away he was
stopped by some Of the teamsters in the
parade, who asked if he had union
card. He tried to explain that he need
ed no card, that it was his own team and
that he was doing no hauling. Several
hundred men gathered around the wagon
and attempted to pull him of. An es-
cort of police enabled him to get several
blocks away, when mob numbering
fully 1000 caught up with him. lie
whipped up his horses and for nearly a
mile he was pursued, when finally the
mob cut the harness Of his horses into
mall'pieces, beat the animals with canes,
compelling them to run away, and then
beat Thornton badly. Thornton employs
large number of teamsters, all OF whom
are member of the union, and has never
had any trouble with the organization
before yesterday.

GOVERNOR ANSWERS CRITICS. The
strongest point in the criticism of Gov
ernor Montague in the Chase City mass
m Getting on Saturday because of his
respite of Doc Bacon was that he did
not communicate with the judge of the
County Court. Governor Montague
said yesterday that he had endeavored
from the very outset of the matter ia
communicate with Judge Holmes, and
to get an expression of his views in adj
vance of granting the respite, but had
been unable to do so. Judge Holmes,
he had been informed by Commonwealth
Attorney Goode, was away from home,
yet he (the GovernoD had Immediately
written him, hoping to hear from him
before final action was taken. He had
no time to wait further to hear from the
Judge. Almost instant action was
necessary. The commonwealth's at
torney, not counsel for the negro, had
said that evidence might be abduced to
prove the innocence of the accused. I'm
der the circumstaces he felt it his duty,
from a humane standpoint, to grant the
second respite, and to take care that
judicial murder was not done. The
sentiment in Richmond is that the Gov
ernor acted wisely, and that the Chase
City resolutions were hasty and unjust.
