Revolver Rattle in a Cafe.

New York, Oct. Two men were
killed, two others seriously if not fatally
wounded, and more than 100 shots fired
in a pitched revolver battle in the heart
of New Xork city early today.
The fight took place between Tender
loin" gangs in cafe on West Twenty
eighth street, a short distance off Broad
way
The dead men have been identified
as Frank Mack; aged 25 clerk, and
Philip Carey, alias Marshall, aged "A
a race track follower. The two wound
ed men are in Bellevue Hospital under
arrest and the police are seeking the
twenty-five or more participants OF the
fight who escaped after the shooting.
AT ] O'Clock about thirty men and
dozen women were drinking in an
upper room OF the cafe when ten OF
fifteen men filed into the place and took
their seats at table in the downstairs
back room.
After a few rounds had been served
them. two men left the table and
started upstairs. At the same time the
remainder Of the downstairs gang went
outside and took positions beyond the
street doors. The two men who went
upstairs drew revolvers and began hr-
ing unfortunately into the crowd in
the upper room. Then the pair re-
treated down the stairs, keeping up
their fire, while behind them piled the
men from the upper room, also using
revoIvers. 1t was clever ruse the two
gang-fghters had used, as when they
reached the bottom Of the stairs, they
stepped to one side and their comrades,
hidden in the darkness, we're able to
pick off the men they wanted in the
lighted doorway. =,
When the police reserves arrived the
gang scattered, many getting away IN
taxi-cabs which they had waiting.

IT IS rumored in Paris, and the
rumor is firmly believed by many, that
the ghost Of the chamber of deputies
has again been seen. This ghost IS
known as the yellow Man." and it
ust be CHASTITY apparition, for 1t is
Il, emaciated, almost transparent and
Iiace is dark yellow, while around ITS
,ck there is dark circle, as OF blood,
50 says the tradition, according TO
which the yellow Man" made his
first appearance in the chamber in No
vember 1851, just before the. coup
d'etat OF Napoleon III. The ghost re-
appeared in 1870, shortly before the
outbreak OF the Franco-Prussian war,
and was seen thereafter on the eve OF
the death Of Gambetta and of the as
sassination OF Carnot. OF course, II
walks only at night, haunting by pref
erence the gallery that leads to the pri-
yate apartment Of the president of the
chamber. Superstitions Parisians are
specializing as to the nature of the new
misfortune which this latest appearance
presages.

THE DEBT QUESTION.

The U. S. Supreme Court will con
vene next Monday in Washington for
one of the most important sessions in
its history.
The first big case set for argument is
the dispute between the state OF West
Virginia and the commonwealth OF
Virginia as to the amount OF money
the former owes the latter by reason OF
the formation OF separate governments.
Charles f. LittlefeId, special master OF
the court, last spring reported that the
amount varied from about SO, DOC, 600
to about 100000, according to the
basis that might be accepted for set
Element. Some of the most prominent
lawyers in the country will appear be-
fore the court to argue on exceptions
to the report, which will be preparatory
to final Judgment in the case.

Hearst Arrives.

New York, Oct. 7.-When William
r. Hearst landed from the steamer
Mauritania today and was told that his
Independence League had disregarded
his suggestion that it endorse the re-
publican candidate for governor, Henry
l.. Stimson, and had by an oycrwhelm-
ing vote declared for complete indie
pendent ticket in this state, he seemed
more pleased than otherwise. He said
that he was returning home TO and the
fight for progressism in politics not
alone in New York state but in every
section of the United States, and that
he favored endorsing progressive can
didates for Office no matter on what
ticket they might be named. Hearst
made it plain that he will stand by
John ]. Hopper, the league candidate
for governor, and accept his own nomi-
nation for lieutenant governor.
He said he would do all that he
could for the independence in this state.
but that he hoped he would not have
TO devote too much time to the fight
here, as he wanted to get into the
fighting in every section of this coun-
try.
Hearst gave out a signed statement
relative to the action OF the Independ-
ence League convention, in which he
said:
81 wish to congratulate the indie
pendence League on the conduct OF the
convention. / should think every
American citizen would be happy to
see at least one political convention con-
Quoted in the old-fashioned, free and
open and honest way that ought to be
characteristic OF all such bodies. "

GOVERNOR TAYLOR NOMINATED.

"Our Bob" will be the slogan Of
Tennessee democracy again this year,
for last night Senator Robert L. Taylor
received and accepted the nomination
for governor amid such scenes Of
enthusiasm and confidence as. have not
been approached in any Of the many
other state conventions held in the
Ryman auditorium in Nashville, this
year.
The convention adopted n platform
that leaves the temperance question to
be decided by the legislature. j. w.
Thomas was nominated for railroad
commissioner.
Practically all the men who have been
recognized as democratic leaders in the
state took part in the convention, and
harmony prevailed throughout.

CREATES sUFFRAGAN BISHOPS.

The House OF Deputies Of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church OF America in
convention at Cincinnati yesterday
passed an amendment TO the con-
stitution providing for suffragan bish-
ops throughout the dioceses OF the
church.
The debate brought out the fact that
the object OF the suffragan bishops was
not only to look after the people
of particular nationality or race, but
also to assist bishops who preside = over
dioceses too large for any one bishop TO
handle.
The amendment stated that these
suffragan bishops do not necessarily
succeed in the bishopic in the dioceses
to which they have been appointed in
the case OF the removal OF the bishops
of the dioceses. On the other hand,
they do not lose their opportunity to
succeed either to the bishopic OF the
diocese in which they are working or in
any other dioceses provided they are
selected in the usual way.
The amendment will have to be con-
CURED in by the House OF Bishops.
Rev. ]. Lewis Parks, of New York,
caused stir in the House OF Deputies
when he insisted on the exclusion OF
pamphlet which had been dlstrib-
uted among the delegates. He cited
the rule against the introduction OF
controversial pamphlets, and was
sustained.
The booklet was written by Bishop
William Brown, OF Little Rock, Ark.
In it he opposed THE sacerdotal
theory of origin, power and authority
Of the Christian ministry"
The bishop was attending the sitting
of the upper body OF the church's or
ganization when the booklet was ousted
from the deputies hall.
In the House OF Bishops the amend
ment making the Office OF presiding
bishop elective instead of automati-
caiIy reverting to the Oldest bishop
in point OF service was decisively de-
feated. The House of Bishops also
refused to pass an amendment rela-
tive TO permission to change the word
ing of the Book OF Common Prayer to
suit the local conditions wherever
they might exist in countries where
the book is printed in a language other
than the English language.
A resolution was introduced into the
House OF Deputies to strike out the
words Jews, Turks, infdels and
heretics" from the Good Friday prayer
and substituting those who have erred
from the truth. " The resolution was not
voted on.
Rt. Rev. John Wordsworth, lord
bishop Of Salisbury, England, was
presented to a joint session OF the
House OF Bishops and House Of De-
puties.
Upon motion Of j. Pierpoint Morgan,
a committee was named TO select the
place for the next triennial.

WHIPPING SET BOY AFIRE.

Willie Oster, pupil in the Grant
public school, at Pottstown, Pa, will
no longer carry matches in his pocket
to light cigarettes. He was cured OF
the habit by an exciting and painful
experience he had Wednesday after
noon. Willie was not the good boy his
teacher, Miss Black, thought he ought
to be, and she padded him in the re-
gion where the matches we're concealed.
Some OF them we're ignited by the
shock OF vigorous blows and set his
trousers on fire, and soon Willie was
doing a sort OF war dance around the
room. The teacher and several pupils
went to his assistance and the blaze was
extinguished after it had burned Willie
quite painfully, 1t was necessary 70

THE contest between New Orleans
and San Francisco for the Worlds Pan
anna Exposition in 1915 runs merrily
on. The New Orleans exposition com
mittee is distributing throughout the
country logical point map, accord
ing to which there are seventy cities
within an average distance of nine hun
dred miles from New Orleans, with a
combined population of 100000
while within the same average distance
OF San Francisco there are only eight
cities having a combined population OF
1000, 900 people. New Orleans prin-
cipal claim is that if the exposition be
given to San Francisco the people OF
this country would be penalized 5000,
600, 900 in railroad fare over what it
would cost to go to the Crescent City.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING, OCT. 7

THE deposition Of King Manuel
and the expose Of his private life,
especially his relations with a Paris
ian danseuse, brings to mind other
chapters in the recent history OF Portu-
GAL. Leading up to the assassination
OF King Carlos and his son the crown
prince, LUZ Philippe, on February l,
1908. was a series of events that, dur
ing ten years OF the kings reign,
served to inAame the republicans and
weaken, step by step, the fabric Of
government. The present revolt Is a
natural outcome. King Carlos, big,
joyial and reckless, spent lavlshly the
money extorted from his people by
heavy taxes. Appeals to Tighten their
burden were lost on him. He con-
tinued in his own way, and then,
shortly before his assassination, he
aroused the entire country to frenzy
by appointing Franco as dictator, with
almost unlimited power. Franco was
not slow to grasp this power, and ne
ruled with an iron hand. Newspapers
were suspended by his order, no pub
lie gatherings we're allowed and per
sous who were known to have opn'
ions contrary TO those held by the dc
tator were thrown into prison. In
December, 1907, the movement against
absolutism in Portugal assumed such
dimensions that the country was Oh
tie brink of revolution. Demands
that the dictatorship be abolished were
met with refusal by the king, and con
ditions grew worse daily. The murder Of
the king and crown prince in the streets
OF Lisbon followed. On the day fol-
lowing the assassination Prince Man
uel was proclaimed king. With the
ascension Of Manuel to the throne,
Premier Franco, whose dictatorship
precipitated the assassination. resigned,
fearing that his continuance in Office
would plunge Portugal into revolution.
Following the assassination a huge
scandal was unearthed. 1t was charged
that Carlos by his profligacy had vlr-
tually bankrupted the monarchy and
had hidden his vast expenditures by
having the governments accounts
falsified. Even the royal gems were
declared to have been pawned. Man
uel, inheriting Count of Monte Crlsto
notions and with dunn yiyimus, viva
mus as his motto, failed to profit by
the sad fate of his father and eldest
brother. He has escaped the assas-
sins bullet, but has lost his throne
and become an exile from his country.
