Kentucky voters returned the state
to the Democratic column and elected
the entire Democratic state ticket by
a majority ranging from $4,000 to 49,

larger majorities.
There were Democratic gains in all
the Democratic counties, and Repub-
lican losses in Republican counties
were the rule.
Congressman John w. Langley, of
the state Republican campaign com
mittee, early conceded that Judge
Edward C. o'Rear, the Republican

an overwhelming defeat.

Making Pensacola after an absence
of twelve years, Lew Dockstader and
his fun makers amused large audi
ence last night at the opera house.
Dockstader is still in the amusing bust

The scenery, representing the negro
quarters, cotton fields, southern flower
gardens. are ever present in the pro-
duction. And the water scene where
Lew and the captain Of ship are
swimming is one CT beauty and in this
swim many jokes on local characters
were gotten off by Dockstader.
The singers were probably the best
ever heard In a minstrel in this city.
The sextet, composed of Messrs.
and Hanniford. gave a selection from
audience as no other number did, and
deafening applause continued after
each response. The solos. when

Neutrality-suspicious. to do much
more than has been done toward

reaches of the Chinese rivers because
Of the lack of light-draft gunboats,
Admiral Murdoch, commander-in-
chief Of the Asiatic station, has de-
cided to strengthen the American
naval representation at the deep
water treaty ports. Therefore, he has
ordered the coast defense ship Mont
Grey and the double-turreted monitor
Monadnock to proceed at once from
Manila to the Chinese coast. The
Quiros, the last of the small gun
boats left at Manila, also has been or
dered to China and will probably go>
up the Yangtse River. These addi-
tional ships are to look solely after
the interests of Americans and
foreigners.
Ambassador Bacon cabled from
Paris that the French government had
decided that it did not see the present
necessity for joint action of the for.
eign naval forces In China. This was
doubtless in reply to the state depart
ment's suggestion to various Ameri-
can Ambassadors and Ministers that
they learn the purposes of the govern
ments to which they were accredited
in dealing with the situation in China,
and the French response is exactly in
line with the desires of the State De-
partment at this stage.
The State Department was informed
through the Chinese legation here of
the appointment of Yuan Shi Kai to
the supreme command of the military
movements in China, confirming the
press reports.
Yuan Shi Kai, at whose instigation
negotiations between the government
and insurrectionists are about to be-

awaiting such concession on the
part of the government before con-
senting to take active part in the
campaign. His delay in taking the

TAFT REVIEWS THE FLEET
Warships OF All Glasses Anchored In
the Hudson River From the Bat
terry To Harlem-A Grand
Naval Spectacle.

New York.-In other respects than
mere number Of ships and power of
armament, the great naval review here
eclpsed any naval pageant ever seen
In this country. President Taft sailed
through the four lines Of ships at
anchor in the Hudson river, watched
the vast armada pick up its anchors
and get under way. Then lead the
long column down the bay and off
Staten Island stood aside on the May
flower and again reviewed the feet
as 1t passed out to sea.
The Presidential survey took place
on Thursday. Wednesday the Secre-
tary Of the Navy inspected the feet
from the Dolphin.
AS the mobilization of the Atlantic
feet in Long Island Sound five years
ago was the most powerful assemblage
of modern war vessels in the history
of this country up to that time, SO will
be the feet which gathered in this
harbor this week for review. Forty
one vessels in 1906 passed in review
before President Roosevelt These
vessels included IL first-class battle
ships and 20 armored and protected
cruisers and torpedo boats. In this
weeks review there was 1902 vessels,
a. Of them battleships comprising the
Atlantic fleet. All these vessels have
an aggregate tonnage Of 577,2S5.
The mobilization of the Atlantic
feet surpassed Emperor Williams re-
view Of Kiel, Germany, on Septem-
Der 5, when SO fighting ships were as
sembled, exclusive of torpedo boats,
destroyers, mine planters and sub
marines. The total displacement of
the feet reviewed by the German EN-
peror amounted in round numbers to
100000 tons.
This collection of ships outweighed
the French display at Toulon last
month, and will rank second only to
the array of lighting ships which as
sembled at Spithead on June "a last
in honor of the coronation of King
George.
The purpose of this weeks mobili-
cation 10 to show the preparedness of
the feet, and the defects, If any, in
personnel and material. The mobili-
zation was ordered on comparatively
short notice, less than 80 days.

TRIED TO KILL FAMILY
Tragedy the Direct Result OF Family
Diseerd.

Parkersburg, w. Va.-Driven to
desperation by the fact that his pretty
wife, who was suing him for divorce,
had given information to the state au-
thorities which bid fair to lodge him
behind prison walls for many years,
Carroll James, Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad conductor, armed with two
revolvers, at Pennsboro, Richie
county, wreaked summary vengeance
upon his wife's family.
Invading the home of his father-in-
law, William Pritchard, about o'clock
A. M, by breaking in the front door,
James began firing at the figures in
the beds in the different rooms before
the occupants were fairly awakened.
He shot and instantly killed Mr..
Pritchard, his father-in-law, as he rose
from the bed: shot Mrs. JenAie
Pritchard, his mother-in-law, three
times, inflicting upon her probably
fatal injuries, and shot his wife, Mrs.
Minnie A. James, in the hip, INJECTING
a flesh wound. BY an act of Provi-
dence the four-year-old daughter of
James, who was sleeping Mrs. James
and Mrs. Pritchard, was not struck by
any of the half dozen bullets which
were fired in her direction. Imme-
diately following the shooting in the
house james, after attempting again
to kill his wife and falling to do so,
fired bullet into his own brain, dying
instantly.

CHINA GRANTED

Ter, Hit In Neck BY Bullet, In
More Serious Condition Than
Supposed.

Peking.-The Government has is
sued it's expected edict granting prac-
teal constitutional rule for China.
Reports of Hankow's capture by the
Imperial troops last Friday are con-
firmed, though it is said the Imperial
lists position is not strong, and the
rebels are expected to regain posses
sion OF the town soon unless it is de-
cided to accept the thrones offer of
concessions to the revolutionists.
The Imperial edict apologies for
its neglect in not having bowed to
the peoples wishes sooner. 1t
promises to exclude the nobility from
the new Cabinet and extends free par
don to all rebels.
The edict, as already forecast, pro-
vides for Parliament, revision of the
present ineffective Constitution, the
substitution of civil for military
methods of maintaining order, re-
sponsibility of the Cabinet to Parlia-
ment instead of the Emperor, and
curtailment of the iatter's power to a
point considerably less, for example,
than that of the President OF the
United States.
1t is not known positively with what
foreign governments the Manchu
rulers are negotiating for help, but
discovery that it has arranged with
Baron Cottu for an $1S.00o.000 loan
from an Anglo-Franco-Belgian syndi-
cate strongly suggests that it is from
England and France that it hopes the
most. Naturally, this is a black eye
for the rival German
syndicate headed, it is said, by j.
Pierpont Morgan and the Japanese
group, both of which had previously
rejected the Chinese Governments
overtures.
In the case of England and France,
the changed situation means merely
changes in the financial groups inter-
ested
The United States and Germany
are completely thrown over. and the
plan seems to be to crowd them out
of the Chinese game entirely, if pos
sible.
