A Life Sketch.
His death was due, it is said,
to heart disease. 1t was thought before
he left Raleigh that he was threatened
with catarrh of the stomach. His
heart was examined several days ago
and was said to be all right. He was
very weak and had been SO for some
weeks, and finally broke down. There
never was a more faithful worker than
he, and as a man and citizen ne
was model conservative, d1gnlhed
and full of love for his State and his
people. He was a native of Frank
lin county, and on the I'd OF next
September would have been 81 years
old. He was, during the civil war
a lieutenant of Junior Reserves. He
established the Franklin Times al
Louisburg after having spent some
time in Raleigh as one OF the stan
of the famous Daily Sentinel then
edited by Josiah Turner, and he saw
some stirring scenes in the reconstruc

FEAR CHINESE RISING
The Prospects Are That the Ceiestiais
1ay Take q Hand.

St petersburg, BY CaDie.-In vie"
o! the official dispatches regarding the
hostile attitude of the Chinese within
fuence. the authorities here do not
conceal their apprehension at the out
look. especially in the north of the en-
pire. for they propose TO call the at
tention OF the Celestial government to
the impending uprising in Tpaadsiatzi.
in order that repressive measures may
been instantly taken.
1t is known and appreciated here
that all the powers have made strong
representations TO Pekin in the interst
OF the preservation of the tranquility
OF the empire. but it is stated that Ma
jor General Plugs dispatch OF May IA
shows the necessity for further i'm
pressing the Celestial government with
the advisability of acting with firm
hand.
The authorities here believe that the
Boxer revolt. which spread from Shan
Tung, would have involved the entire
empire had it not been for the firmneSs
of the Southern vicerOys. The military
authorities in ST. Petersburg claim to
have information OF sensational
characters to the effect that the
Chinese have tacitly agreed to cooper
ate with the Japanese operations. Ihe
Chinese propose, it is stated, to drive
Gen. Kuropatkins $ forces into Mon
golia. which would place the Russians
in the position OF invaders of neutral
territory and enable Teprisals by Gen.
Mas army which, it is asserted, is
kent in that region for the special OBJ
iect. thus cleverly averting the slight
est infringement of the neutralty OF
China by Japan, and the Chinese
troops, by not crossing the Manchurlah
frontier. could not be charged with a
violation Of pledges in respect to non
interference in military operations IN
Manchuria.
The opinion of an eminent strateglst,
given to the Associated Press IS that
| the Japanese intend to control not
only Lao Cheng. but all along the
line in an effort to drive Gen. kuro-
ratkin into Mongolia, where the Chl-
nese are waiting for him.
| Knowing thhese conditions, Gen
Kuropatkin, he said. would not be
iikelv to make a serious resistance at
Kai Ping or Hal Cheng. but would
withdraw to the north. This would en-
able the japanese to march on New
Chwang with little hindrance and give
them base from which men coulo
be sent without any violation OF the
neutral zone west of the Lao river.
The German Foreign Office has been
Informed, according to assurances
given the Berlin correspondent OF NO
voc Vremri, that China will not ven
ture to infringe the neutrality laws
owing to the distinct intimation IRON
all the powers, the dynasty would Dc
ieopardized by such infringement. i
is believed that Japan would be en-
harrassed by the open assistance o
China, since Europe would hold Japal
resnonsible for the consequences. Inc
correspondent asserts that the German
Foreign Office inspired the Unltet
States to propose the neutrallzauon o.
China.
