The revolution has been hanging
over China for months, and the rising

The revolutionists are we'll organ

republic.
If plans do not miscarry, the noted
exiled revolutionist, DR.. Sun Vat Sen,
leader of the anti-Manchu party, is to
be elected president. He was the dele

United States in 1910, and is believed
during that tour to have made ar

The great cities are at present in
the hands of the rebels. Hankow, WI
Chang and Han Yang, with an esti-
mated population of more than a mil

dauntless courage. and he It was who
told General Lee that II the south es'
tablished independence Lee would be
the successor OF Jefferson Davis a.
president OF the Confederacy.
The day came for the forensic bat
tie between Hill and Malone. The gal.
leries were crowded. Every senator
who was In Washington was In his
place.
Senator Hill began the attack and
1t was fierce. although entirely par
Elementary onslaught He intimated
that Malone was betraying the party
with which he had always been allied,
was faithless to the interests OF the
south and had been lured by unwor.
thy ambition.
When Malone began to reply he ad-
vanced down the aisle until he stood
directly facing Senator Hill. His was
the most extraordinary personality
ever seen upon the floor Of the sen.
ate. In spite Of themselves senators
could not help smiling at the eccen
tricity Of that personality. But they
forgot their smiles when. shaking
an attenuated and bony finger. to the
accompaniment of the waving lace
that surrounded his wrist, Malone

How the Eccentric but Spirited Little
Senator From Virginia Repealed
the Attack Of Democrats Led
by Benjamin n. Hill.

When Gen. William Malone entered
the United States senate from vir-
ginia in March. 1881. he was already
nationally famous as the Hero Of the
Crater" title which he gained by his
bravery as a Confederate general in
the fighting that took place in and
around Petersburg In the late winter
OF 1866
General Malone was sent to the
senate by the faction OF the Virginia
Democracy known as the readjusters.
who favored a partial or conditional
reputation OF the state debt. But CO.
incident with the beginning Of his
term as senator he allied himself with
the Republicans and was assigned a
seat in the rear row upon the Republi.
can side OF the chamber.
He was an animated skeleton: a
little over medium height. there
seemed to be not an ounce Of spare
flesh upon his body. He had bushy
head Of hair. large. dark eyes and q
voice that was thin and piping. but
nevertheless clear. And certain pecu-
liarities Of dress accentuated his phys
ical appearance. His shirt front was
. lace frill and no man could exactly
describe the kind Of collar which he
wore. II seemed to be a combination
Of lace. turnover and old-fashioned
stock. Instead Of cuffs his wrists were
covered with delicate drapenes OF
lace. He wore a waistcoat Of peculiar
make. double breasted. and drawn In
tightly at the waist. His trousers
seemed to be gathered at the waist.
then swelling until they were Of bal
loon-like formation at the knees. they
tapered down to very tight adjust
ment at the ankles. His coat was q
sort Of mixture Of the military frock
and the civilian frock coat. He always
wore . military soft felt hat.
AnEered BY his allegiance with the
Republicans. some Of the senators
upon the Democratic side. especially
from the south. decided to make at.
tacks upon Malone soon after he had
entered the senate. Senator Benja.
min II. Hill Of Georgia was chosen to
lead the assault. Hill possessed q
voice that seemed to sound the dia,
pason Of human vocal utterance. In
his features and in the manner in
which he wore his hair. he reminded
