POLITICS WARM
 IN VIRGINIA

Washington. July 25-(Special, 1.-The Virginia republican convention meets in Newport News Wednesday and will nom mate its candidate before the democrats choose their gubernatoral standard bearer by the primary system on Au- gust 5
 With the approach of the sessions of the republican convention there is more talk about the head of the ticket. Many favorite sons have been named, and while 1t is true that each section has a choice as d matter of fact there is a general recognition that this is no time to be experimenting and sending to battle un- skilled or unknown men, and by common consent there is general disposition to look to Tazewell, the home of A. P. Gl- lespie.
 For some years the negro has been un- der process of elimination In the state. There will be less than score of them as delegates at Newport News.
 There is some talk of indorsing Joseph D. Eggeston, the democratic incumbent for the position of superintendent of pub lie instruction. This would be radical departure, but those who speak of it de- clare that the best men will be selected regardless of party. if they will consent te be named.

PREACHER TALKS
 OF SIGEL MURDER

Anniston, July Special. .)-At Parker Memorial Baptist church Sun day morning Dr. J. H. Foster, pastor, discussed the Elsie Sigel murder case and several of the false conclusions that have been reached in regard to that tragedy, his sermon being in spired by an article copied from met ropolitan daily by Calhoun county paper indorsing the statement of SIT Robert Hart that no Chinaman was ever sincerely converted to Christian ity.
 Dr. Foster attacked the statement of Sir Robert on the ground that every man sees what he looks for and that as Sir Robert Hart had to do only with the commercial interests of China, be- ing himself a man of no great religious pretense, he spoke from superficial and prejudiced knowledge. Against the statement of this authority, he cited the expressions of ex-Presidents Roose- welt, Mckinley and Harrison, who from the same platform in New York in- dorsed mission work.

Bitter Words Pass
 Betz0een Payne And
 Senator ALdriCh

Washington, July 25.-Bitter words be- tween Senator Aldrich and Representa- tive Payne, just before the close of an hours session of the tariff conferees to- night are reported to have followed an attempt on the part of MT. Aldrich to compel a vote on a motion to make hides dutiabe at 7k per cent, half of the ex- isting rate. The session was adjourned until 2:3O D. m. tomorrow.
 From the variety of reports concerning the incident, none of which can be con firmed, unqualifiedly, it apepars that the Senate leader was angered by frequent statements made by the House leader that the country and the President were in sympathy with the action of the House in putting hides on the free list, and he did not propose to be- governed by what a majority of the conferees thought about the question.
 formal motion fixing 71k per cent as the rate to be fixed on hides was made yesterday. At that time MT. Payne is re- ported to have said that he could not con sent to the taking of vote. He assert ed that the sentiment of the country was
 
 expressions of the President on the sub ject. The motion was not pressed, but it was pending today.
 During the forenoon session today the conferees discussed the parliamentary sit uation, but tonight the motion was re- newed. MT Payne is said to have re- iterated his position with increased em- phasis MT. Aldrich is reported to have upbraided MT. Payne for his "obstinacy," and to have said that he was tired of dic- tatorial methods to defeat the will of a majority of the conferees.
 MT. Payne was unrelentng
 When it was seen that nothing could be accomplished, MT. Paynes signature be- ing necessary for the making of report the conference adjourned.
 The story of the intense feeling ex- hibited leaked out through confidence given by conferees to other members of Congress.

Washington, July %.-On the eve of making an aeroplane flight involving greater dangers than Bleriot risked in crossing the English channel early today. Orvile Wright expressed great pleasure when he learned the success of the Frenchman.
 q have said all along that Bleriot would be the first to make the flight across the channel once he decided to attempt it, :" said MT. Wright. "It was great flight v
 That it was a personal triumph for Bleriot, however, rather than any indica- tion of advancement in the art of flying was Wright's idea of the significance of the accomplishment.
 He spoke admirably of Bleriot, saying that he was one of the most daring of all aviators. Mr. Wright is familiar with the Bleffot monoplane, which he said is one of the Antoinette type used by Hu- bert Latham, but antedates the latter 8 form of construction.
 q believe Bleriot has added movable wing tips to his machine since l saw it" said MT. Wright His type of mono plane is based on the principles of the old French toys and on the models used by Penaud. to which Professor Langley s

Tomorrow's session will begin at 2:30 p. m. and the forenoon will be occupied by advocates of protected hides in mak ing final appeal to President Taft that he stand just as firmly for materi- al reductions in the duties on boots and shoes and other leather goods as he is standing for free hides.
 It was argued tonight that it is pos sible to bring in a special rule in the House, declaring In order" rates on leather goods below the duties fixed by. the House bill. Without such a rule 1t was said the speaker would be compelled to decide that the conferees had exceeded their authority If they should bring in a report naming rates on leather goods, such as boots and shoes, sole leather, calf skins and har- ness, lower than those fixed by the House bill
 After the adjournment of the con- ference the House members continued in session and 1t was decided that a canvass should be made tomorrow to ascertain the sentiment in the House concerning a rule of that character.
 No predictions are made to wh en the conference report will be made to the House. Until tonight it was thought that the report would be ready to pre- sent when the House meets on Tues day. It is not a question of what the conferees are willing to do but what will happen to their report when it Is presented. Senator Aldrich will not take the chance of introducing some thing which might be rejected.
 None of the other controversies. which remain unsettled. is thought to involve insuperable difficulties It is practically settled that coal will be made dutiable at 45 cents a ton, print paper at $3.75 a ton, iron ore at 15 cents a ton, oil free, lumber at $1.25 or s1.50 per tn ousand feet with the Senate differentials, and gloves and hosiery at rates slightly under the ad vances made by the House over the Dingley rates.
 The Philippine schedule was amend ed today, with a view of making cer- tain the prevention of the use of the Philippine Islands to obtain free ad- mission to the United States of goods manufactured in the islands from im- ported materials.

CANNON READY TO
 FILL COM MITTEES

Washington, July 25-(Specfal.) )-Through the medium of the House committee Speaker Cannon and the organization be- hind him believe themselves able to hold into line 8 republican majority for the conference report A month ago it was generally understood that the commit tees had been completed. Today the story was circulated through the capitol that several important changes are pending and that near insurgents had better think twice before allowing themselves to strain from the fold. The speaker put in the day at the capitol assigning members to committee places. The statement was made that while the work was practically completed much would depend upon the votes that will be cast when the confer ence report reaches the House Several republicans who have threatened to bolt on the free raw material programme have received quiet tip that if they persist in their course they need not expect re- assignment on committees now held by them.

machine was also similar. The mono plane, however has not as good a method of control as the plane which we use.'
 The Wrights are loath to discuss the comparative merits of their machine and the aeroplanes of others. They take great pride in their own machine, and believe that it surpasses all others. In speaking of Bleriot's flight, and while praising the work of that aviator, Orvill Wright said today:
 "Of course, none of our men were ready to make the attempt or they should have done so. Count de Lambert's mother died recently and that made it necessary for him to give up the trial temporarily"
 It is said that Orville Wright had ex- pected himself to make the channel flight last fall, but was unable to do so on ac- count of the accident at Fort Myer in September His official speed trial which is expected to take place at Fort Myer this week, is regarded here as decidedly more perilous and In some respects more difficult than Bleriots channel flight, or than any of the cross-country flights that have been made by Blerlot or Farman in France
 The country between Fort Myer and Shutters hill near Alexandriar-the course over which Orville will hy--is very rough some of the hills being 25o to 300 feel high. The distance to be covered Is five miles and return.

PROTEST AGAINST
 EMPEROR'S VISIT

London, July 25.-A huge demonstration by the organized labor party was held In Trafalgar square today to protest against the visit of the Emperor of Russia to Eng land. Various womens political leagues and socialistic and other organiza tions were represented, while numerous ban hers which headed the different process sions were inscribed with uncomplimen- tary notices, such as Let the hanging czar remember" Shall we grasp his bloody hand! "A message from hell Welcome, little father.'''
 James Kier Hardie, the socialist member of parliament; George Bernard Shaw and others made speeches, voic- ing angry protests against the pro- posed visit. Resolutions to the same effect were adopted.
 Bernard Shaw, during the course of his speech. said he had no doubt that King Edward was sufficiently embar- rassed and heartily wished that the Emperor of Russia was going to visit the Emperor of China instead of him. Mir. Shaw declared that he was par ticularly anxious to avoid viloent language and would simply say in con- clusion:
 Damn the Czars tyranny and his imprudence for coming to these shores"

MISSIONARY TELLS
 OF LIFE IN CHINA

Anniston, July Especial )-Dr. T. W. Ayers. who was formerly well known in the public life of Alabama but who is now in charge of the War ren Memorial hospital at Hwang-Hfen' China, has written several interesting letters recently, and the latest one is peculjarly interesting, as 1t deals with the question of wages and living ex- penses in China, dwelling at length on the advance in the price of wheat and the scarcity of that staple. Dr. Ayers letter in part is as follows:
 q read an article few days since in the Literary Digest in which it stated that under the established gold standard in America wages had greatly advanced, while they had not advanced in China under the silver standard, and if China had not changed her monetary system, in a few years it would place American manufacturers at very great disadvantage, as goods could be made in China for so much less than in America.
 "The writer of that article is very much mistaken in his statement as to wages in China for during the past five years wages here have doubled. As an example, when I built the hospital here five year sago I paid carpenters $50 small cash per day, and masons 300 each per day. In making an enlarge ment of the hospital this year I had to pay carpenters 700 cash and masons 500 cash. Five years ago cooks here commanded a salary of 5000 small cash per month and they now get 1S,000. Teachers here five years ago got 10000 small cash per month, and they now get 10000, and so 1t is with all wage earners.
 This increase in wages has been due to the increased cost of living expenses. It costs the Chinese fully twice as much to live now as 1t did five years ago. They live largely on bread stuffs. as corn wheat, millet and rice, and these bring now fully twice what they did five years ago. Wheat has more than doubled and Is so expensive that 1t is eaten only by the well-to- do. Even in the schools and seminaries the pupils are given white bread only once a week, and meat only once 8 week.
 "The farmers here now are harvest ing their wheat crop. On account of the drouth the crop Is unusually short and wheat has gone up until it is clear out of reach of the Chinaman, and they are constantly asking about the price of wheat in America and it Is difficult for them to have patience with Mir. Pat toms method of controlling the wheat market of America"
