 Judge James J. Hargis was placed on the stand. He said he was county judge of Breathitt county and a member of the Democratic State Central Committee and @ brother of Senator Alex Hargis. Hargis saw Even running and Marcum falling while he was at show case In his store. He saw Dr. Rash and Mir.

England's Mock war.

London. Aug. 5.--War was declared to- day between the home fleet under the command of Admiral Wilson and the Mediterranean fleet, commanded by A6- miral Domville. The annual British man oeuvers thus commenced are regarded as the most interesting yet devised by the admiralty. Altogether 26 battleships and 4S cruisers will be entered in a contest for the command of the sea between two mar itime countries. #
 The opposing fleets are represented by the letters B and x. the former being the home fleet which Is divided into two squadrons one at Berhaven, Ireland, com. manded by Admiral Wilson. and .he other at Madeira, under Lord Charles berHa- ford.
 The problem of the home fleet is to ef- feet Junction of force at sea, while on Admiral Domville. in command of the < fleet. concentrated at La Cos. Portugal. is imposed the task of finding Admiral Wilson's or Lord Beresford's squadron before they are able to effect junction and defeat which ever is discovered first, before the other comes to its assistance.
 The operations cease at noon August ii.
 Independent of these manoeuvers, oper- ations by torpedo craft are proceeding on the Irish coast, 61 destroyers, 37 torpedo boats and 19 other sea-going vessels being engaged

MERE CHANGE oF CARE.
Pope Plus x. the Same as Cardinal
 Earto.


 Earto.
 Rome, Aug. 5.-A few anecdotes show what manner of man Plus x is His po- sition as patriarch of Venice brought him from $2.000 to $2.400 a year. which did not go far. when he had paid the bills for all of his numerous charities. So when he was called suddenly to leave Venice. he often found himself without money Once, when he had to come to Rome. he was without a cent and did not know where to turn. He was finally obliged to borrow s4OO from a bank and was in perfect fever until the debt was paid. He has a nephew. John Baptist Sarto. who, notwithsta nding the relation ship Is only the archpriest of the small village of Pessagno. the birthplace of Canova.
 When in the past. people used to ask Cardinal Sarto what he would do if made Pope. referring to his modesty and affa- bility, he replied:
 T shall have white robes instead of red, that will be the only change I shall remain the same Sarto as ever" He seems to have been sincere in think ing that he would not be made Pope. Monsignor Stratimirovich. the Venetian prelate, accompanied him to Rome and up to the door of the conclave, and, in taking leave, as usual. hoped that Card inal Sarto would be made Pope. His em- thence replied laughing:
 'Nol No fear for me. Tell me the number of your telephone and I will let you know who receives that honor''
 In all of the excitement of his first triumph, he kept his word and went to the telephone personally and called up the number only to find that Monsignor Strratimirrovich already knew the result of the balloting and was on hls way to the Vatican.
 Plus likes not only 70 walk, but to climb. few days before he left Venice for Rome. he ascended Mount Grappa. $500 feet high. But his greatest en- joyment is music. He is a great friend and admirer of Lorenzo Perosi the emil nent director of the pontifical choir, who was formerly maestro at St Marks s, Venice. Perosi is chiefly indebted to him for his musical career

BRYAN MAKES BITTER
 ASSAULT ON CLEVELAND
Says in 1892 the Democratic Party Worked a Confidence Game and Nominated
 a BunkO Stecrcr.

Urbana, Ohio. Aug. E.-Tour Ieadins Democrats opened the Ohio campaign here to-day. two weeks in advance of the Democratic State Convention W. T Bryan had been engaged to address the Urbana Chautauqua. Assembly this aft ernoon, and the Democrats of this coun- ty held their convention on the Chau- tauqua ground during the forenoon. at which addresses were made by Bryan. John I. Zimmerman, of Springfield. May or Johnson of Cleveland and ex-Congrees- man Lsntz. of Columbus. The Assem4 biys Democratic day program attracted one of the largest crowds ever seen on the grounds.
 The addresses all attracted attention because of the direct reference to certain men as well as to policies on which there are differences. within the party. Bryan referred to ex-President Cleveland re- peatediy. a Zimmerman, who followed Bryan. re- ferred to the fathers of Democracy and "the eternal principles" of the party.
 Then came Mayor Johnson and ex-con. gressman Lents. in emphatic declarations that this was no time for 'dead issues ,
 The 'keynotes'' of the last two speak CTS were not in accord with those of Mfr. Zimmerman. whose managers had secur- cd the Champaign County delegates be- fore Johnson reached the tabernacle.
 Stood for Zimmerman.
 As this county is in the same congress sional district as Zimmerman's home, the Johnson men were at odds. but still they contested at the primaries. The con- vention stood I3O 10 30 for Zimmerman. but in deference to the visitors. no bal lots were taken.
 Bryan received his greatest ovation when he said:
 .'The Democrats in 1899 played con- fidence game on the people and put a bunko steerer at the head of the party. I want to say to you. my friends. that the disreputable man who stands on the street curbing and leads the unwary trav- eler into a game where he loses his mon- ey, is respectable compared to the man who accepts the suffrages of 6,00o.0O0 of people and then leads them into wal street. to be betrayed.
 Don't be deceived when they tell you 1t was the silver question that drove people out of the party.
 '"Thoee who left the Democratic party are divided into two classes; those who left because they understood the issue in the campaign, and those who left be- cause they were deceived In the issue of the campaign. Those who understood inc Issue and left shaennse they elected it can never return to the party until they repent and show that their hearts and sympathies are changed. The fight will continue in this country until one side or the other Is triumphant"
 Mir. Bryan's Estimate.
 Then he continued by saying he had more respect for a Republican than Tor any one calling himself 8 Democrat.

Mexico Hears the News.

Mexico City. Aug. 5.-Peals from churches in this city and the leading cities of the republic greeted the an- nouncement of the new Popes election. The relations of Mexico and the Vatl- can. while having no formal basis. are friendly and it is believed here that Pope Leo directed that the clergy here should cordially support the republic and abandon all imperialistic pretensions. It is remarkable fact that in Mexican pol itics. President Diaz, who has recon ciled so many factions. Is not opposed for a succeeding term by the clerical party. His impartiality and entire absence of prosecuting spirit has endeared him to all, while at the same time he has not abandoned distinctively liberal princi- ples.
