and principal issue in the coming
campaign, and that the fight viii be
made for the amendment with all
the vigor and force Of which the
party Is capable. Senator John
Walter Smith. State Senator A. P.
German and other equally promin

Bryan, Who insisted that IL would

Yes 1t fills our hearts with pain;
But her voice sweetly whispers,

SPANS WOES MULTIPLY.

LONDON, Sept. S.-A dispatch
to the Daily Telegraph from Melila
says the position of the Spanish for
ces is extremely difficult and grave
They are obliged to remain on the
defensive and have front of several
miles, needing at least $4,000 men
to protect, while 10000 others are
required to protect the advance post.
An attack by land is impossible and
operations must be begun from the
sea by landing men. This will re-
quire force of $4,000 of the best
quality and the construction of
canal into Marchia, which will occupy
fully five weeks.
Accordingly Spain will need to
send reinforcements of $4,000 men
who will be engaged in an objectless
campaign and will be spread over the
mountains where theree is nc
village to occupy, forced to remain
inactive because the whole country
is hostile and an advance to the
south is utterly impossible. If the
advance were possible the situation
of Spanish troops would be worse,
for then the army would be split VI
into dozen portions, and victualing
most difficult and dangerous.

SLAIN IN COURT.
Tragedy Ends Litigation of Father
To See Child.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. q
Shooting over the head of Senator
Davis in Curcuit Judge Fulk's court
room. w. Y. Ellis, of Pine Bluffs,
today killed Nathiniel Parker Willis,
owner of liquor cure establishment
at Indianapolis. The slain man, who
was formerly the husband of Mrs.
Ellis, died in the arms of Sheriff
Roberts, who rushed towards him as
he fell shot while trying to escape
Ellis. Sheriff Roberts Immediately
seized Ellis, who surrendered the
fatal pistol to Judge Fulk.
The shooting followed an order re-
versing former order of several
courts relative to the custody of the
year old daughter of Willis and his
former wife, who is now Mrs. Ellis,
and was accompanied by many SEN
sational incidents including court
room panic. An assault case was be-
ing tried in the adjoining room, and
when the first shot was heard 500
women and men in attendance ran
over each other in search for the
door. Judge Lee was compelled to
adjourn his court until tomorrow.

ALDERSHOT, Sept. S.-During /
dead calm here today, Captain +. S.
Cody, the American aerOpIanist who
has been i'm the service of the British
army for several years, achieved
what is believed to be the best recort
for a cross country flight in AN aero,
plane.
Capt. Cody remained i'm the air.
for one hour and three minutes, cover
ing more than forty miles in tina
time. He had to land because hi
machines fuel gave out.
During the flight Cody had his ma
chine under perfect control from be.
ginning to end and at times lifted
to altitude of four hundred feet.
The flight was made in the pres
ence of a large number of army of
ficers and others. 1t aroused theii
highest enthusiasm and was COM
mented upon as performance OF
wonderful effectiveness. The after
noon London papers take the same
view and are liberal in their praise
The performance is particularly
gratifying to those who have stood
by Cody and to the American colony
His experiments until recently were
attended by discouraging failures,
which for considerable time oc-
casioned a good deal of ridicule ano
the repetition Of English press
criticism of the employment of Cody
in the aeroplane service when he
could not make good.
