entered the place before the alarm
was given that he, too, had collapsed.
Mr.. Blakely, a junior at the medi-
cal College, undismayed by the expe-

said. too, that n few DAYS before that
her aunt had ordered her to catch a

years. Last Thursday he took to his
bed, but during the past few days

death last night, preceded by only a
short sinking spell, was quite unex-
pccted.
DR.. Simons was probably the best
known physician and Of
South Carolina. He was known all
over the South and generally through
the States. His fame as a surgeon
was generally recognized among the
profession.
Securing a good classical education.
which was interrupted by the break
Ing out Of the war, DR.. Simons en-
tered the service Of the Confederacy

~matriculated at the Medical College

MacVEAGH URGES TWO PARTIES.
Asks South to Become Bipartisan for
Its Own Good.

Summerville, S. c., April 20
Secretary MacNeagh, speaking before
the South Carolina Bankers Associ-
alton here last night, made a plea to
the Southern States to break from
one-party rule and become bi-parti-
san in their politics for their own
good. He declared 1t to be Of funda-
mental Importance that any party
governed nation should have two
available parties that the political
life Of all the people shall be at Its
best.
1.-TWO parties with at least fairly
equal chances of governing are re-
quired in the work of governing the
country, both locally and nationally"
he said.
Secretary MacVeagh discussed
party conditions in both the North
II South in a friendly spirit, and
said that, while he fully understood
the obstacles to the development of
bi-party in the South, he firmly be-
lieved the change could be accom-
plished.
81 do not speak as a Republican,"
he said. 81 am a member of the Re-
publican party and / am a member
Of 1t because l believe in it. l was
a member Of the Democratic party
during Cleveland's time and I was
a member Of it because l believed in
it. But my interest in bi-party poll
tics Is the interest Of n citizen-of an
American. l want you to believe that
my interest in seeing the South un-
der a two-party system Is wholly in
dependent OF the question whether
n party or the other shall prevail.
"The important thing to me Is not
that any one party should win. 1t is
that there shall be two parties with
the possibility that either may win;
for this is party government in its
a meaning, and with its real equip
ment. If the South we're alone con-
cerned, bi-party everywhere would
still be a matter Of sincere aspiration
to me. But the question is a larger
one-its Importance is NATIONAL"

JUAREZ SITUATION UNCHANGED.
The Rebels are Ready for Retreat if
Attack Should Fail.

Ell Paso, Texas, April 2O.-Fran-
cisco l.. Madero, Jr., has refused alb
%solutely to grant an armistice as
suggested by Dr.. Gomez at Washing
ton. He sent word to-day that he
would talk armistice after the battle
OF Juarez, and then only.
They want an armistice to get up
reinforcements; that Is ALL" he said.
1--WE will first fight; my army will
win or be whipped at Juarez before
we talk armistice."
This morning Madero sent official
notice to the consuls at Juarez that
he might attack the town any hour
after IL o'clock tonight.
Daybreak found the situation
around Juarez unchanged. There
were no alarms during the night. 1t
Is reported that considerable supplies
OF ammunition were struggled across
the river to the insurrectos under the
cover Of darkness.
Formal demand for the surrender
of Juarez within "a hours was made
by the insurgents last night, accord
ing to Gonzales Cara, secretary-gen-
eral Of the insurrecto party, who de-
clared that he had forwarded the de-
mand to Gen. Navarro, the Federal
commander, through the United
States consul at Juarez. Navarro last
night denied having received the de-
mand.
According to United States army
officers here, Juarez Is well prepared
for the expected attack. The trenches
outside the city, they say, have been
so well constructed as practically to
defy discovery, and the Notifications
within the city show unusual mill
tary skill. JuareZ, in their opinion,
Is in a position to resist the attack of
a force far greater than It's garrison.
The insurrectos. 1t Is believed,
must attack soon after the expiration
OF the 24-hour respite given in their
demand for surrender last night, as
they are said to be out Of food. From
Bauche, IL miles south of Juarez.
where they detrained, they advanced
on foot into the hills near Juarez,
taking with them, 1t IS said, no food
supplies but a herd Of goats.
