Tribesmen Revolt.

Teheran, Nov. 3.-Two thousand
soldiers were today dispatched to the
town of Ardebii, which, according to
reports to the government, has been
captured by revolving tribesmen. As
the troops cannot resch Ardebil within
two weeks, 1t is feared by the authorities
that the entire town will be pillsged and
the inhabitants msSsacred. The sole
defense Of the town is force of 12O
Russian Oossscks, who form the guard
of the Russian consulate. They are
known to be short of ammunition.
As AIdsbil has many Russian resi-
dents, the Russian government has also
ordered troops to the spot to suppress
the outbreak which, it is generally rec

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. Thomas F.
Watson, once populis! nominee for the

sending a letter 10 Attorney General
Hart, advocating an armed clsshed be-

Ia bis letter Watson declares there 10
more profound hatred 10 America

any other iIstituiiOn. Watson laughs
at the idea that federal soldiers would
be called upon to enforce the mandates
OF the federal courts, adding that President
Taft knows that there are 400, 900 men
banded together IS socialists who are
IhrIsting for an armed battle with the
federal army. This, he says, Is one
reason why Taft aud Roosevelt desire to
see the standing army enlarged.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOV. 3. 1909.
VIRGINIA STILL as GIBRALTAR

NotBtbs aiding the pessimlsm OF
some persons and the sporadic cases oil
apathy from which others we're suffering,
the result of yesterdays election retains
Virginia 10 her position high In the
democratic column, place which che
has held 10, these many years. Her Po-
liticsl enemies are at present 10 storm
cellars from which they will not emerge
for few days.
This last attempt on the part OF the
republicans to unhorse the democratic
parry In the Old Dominion was about as
ludicrous So those OF former years, from
the fact that the opponents Of the party
in power have always been unable to
construct q platform that has appealed
to the intelligent voter The satisfac'
tory manner in which the affairs OF the
CANNON wealth have been conducted for
the past quarter of century as well %
the prosperity Of the state, are irrefu
table arguments against any change 10
the party.
The republican convention at Norfolk
labored hard to fnd some vulnerable
spot In the democratic organization, but
eventually realized that they we're up
against a ohevsux-de.frise which neither
the state republican organization nor the
federal administration could break.
Hence Ire paDks 10 their platform were
composed of puck and we're easily kicked
to pieces.
Congressman Oarlin on the Opera
House stage one week ago tonight
called attention to the fact that the re-
publicans of Virginia were making nc
proselytes. He said he beheld the same
old faces which periodically bob up on
the screen. 1t may be added thai
though they have ontlived their day Of
usefulness they are still tagging super
1uous on the stage.
Virginia is again 10 be congratulated
Sac did well yesterday, proelaiming to
the country at large that she has no
idea Of changing her political gsrb nor
of relioguishiug democratic principles
which are her heritage. The Old Do
mInion will continue in the hands Of the
party which hss so long satisfactorily
performed its trust, AID Its regime will
be perpetusted long after the present
generation of her enemies shall have
paid the debt of nature.

Trial of Madame StsInheII.

Paris, Nov. 8. -Twenty.6Ve thousand
people-A varied crowd Of the kind that
Paris alone can furnish--surrounded the
Palais de Justice today clamoriug for
the one. hundred seats from which the
public might zee and hear the trial OF
Madame Marguerite Steinheil, the red
widow" charged With the murder Of
her arIist husband and her mother.iD-

midnight last night hundreds were on
hand 10 Try for places. When day
dawned the streets were filed with 8
surging mob, which the police handled
with difficulty. Shortly after sunrise
the select one hundred, the foremos. Of
the mob, we're admitted to the court
yard of the Palals de JUSTICE, bat the
remainder of the crowd stayed on 10 the
hope thsL the authorities would relent
and admit more.
The announcement of NJ. de Wales,
president of the court, that no women
would be admitted caused q furore
throughout Paris, and the court hss
been swamped with requests for special
tickets from the wives OF high govern
meot officials, society leaders and
ieiguing setressee.
All of these have been refused, and
two actresses yesterday announced their
intention of assuming male attire and
attempting TO fight their way TO the
court room.
Moving picture concerns offered the
government fabulous sums for the priVi-
lege OF taking views OF the court room
while the trial Is in progress, and when
these offers we're turned down squads Of
moving picture men with cameras took
up positions from which they could catch
the arrival OF the 'red widow"
The enormous interest is generally at
tributed to the expectation that Madame
Steinheil will reveal her connection With
scores Of prominent Frenchmen. Mad.
anne Seinheil wss for years prominent
figure in the political aud social life 10
Paris, and the public looks for q glimpse
behind the social scenes.
Madame SleiDhei when srrsigued

counted q prominent politician. By In
