Charlottesville, Va, November 4.-Judge Morris warned the crowd which packed the corporation court when the trial of ex-Mayor McCue was resumed today that the persons who might make a demon- stration of approval or dlsapproval would be sent to jaii and kept there long enough to make nim regret his action. John Lee, chief counsel for the accused. then began the closing argument to the Jury for the defense.
 When court convened for the afternoon Captain Woods of counsel for the conn monwealth arose to make an explana- ton in view of statements made by MT. Lee He had not proceeded far when he said he had refused large fee.

 Must Abandon Philippines.
 'If he means what he says, if he be- leves what he says. 1t will be his duty to immediately insist upon the abandon ment of the Philippines. In his speech of acceptance he declares in favor of contin- uing there until we have fitted these peo- pie for elf-government. In his stump speeches now he declares that we are there by violation of their right and our principles; and if he is honest in what he says then he will immediately proceed if elected to the presidency, to withdraw American troops and American sover- eighty from the Philippines.
 'In this whirlwind of oratory Parker has made it plain that if elected President he will ston the upbulding of our navy; he will reduce our army to the point it was before the war with Spain. He will stop the completion of our coast fortif- cations. and he will leave America as China-to depend upon the good nature and the forbearance of the foreign powers for our protection and defence.

Brayn's itinerary and 1t Is not vet known whether he will speak in the Eastern States, although there havc been several requests from different localities that if MT. Brayn enters the campaign he should make one or two speeches in Connecticut and New York.
 Satisfaction was expressed at nation al headquarters regarding the offer or Mir Bryan to aid in the campaign as there has been considerable talk about the apathy of some of the most ardent Bryan men and fear has been expressed that they would vote for Watson.

A few years remaining before he would enter the last long sleep, the old long ing to return came once again and he had decided to answer the call. Closing up his business affairs. which consisted of finding buyer for his mines and converting his carefully hoarded gold into currency, Joe Hep burn boarded the Overland Flyer at Oakland one evening and was soon on his way
 As the magnificent train whirled through the valley and entered the foothills the old miner reclined in his cushioned seat and marveled at the
 improved service of railroads and the many hundreds of changes which had 1 taken place since his journey with q
 team and wagon across the plains. It was a new life, sudden awakening, and at every city through which the train passed he scanned with eager eyes the strange sights.
