 Another venire has been summoned, making 2S5 men thus far drawn. The men in the juryrocrn tonight inclues Roo- ert F. Bain. carpenters F. D. Green orange grower, and Byron Lusk. lnillman, all sworn jurors.
 Brewster c. Kenyon, interested in in vestments, accepted as to cause by both sides; J. B. Sexton, accepted as to cause by the defense. Of five talesmen accepted by both sides when court opened two were excused with consent of counsel.
 Samuel Mendenhall was allowed to go because his mother is dangerously ill and Walter N. Clark because of his physical condition.
 Byron Lusk, now a juror, sought re- lease because he has trouble with his eyes, but was retained.
 Keryon said he was paymaster dur ing the Spanish-American war and once his commanding officer was Gen. Harrison Gray OtIs, proprietor of the Times. He asserted that he had no prejudice against labor un.ons.

Harmon Comments

Columbus, Ohio, November S.-Basine his opinion upon the results in Massachu- setts, Kentucky and Ohio and other points where democratic candidates were elected yesterday Gov. Judson Harmon today predicted national democratic landslide next year.
 The results of these elections have pleased me very much, he sadi, "and I consider them a forecast of what is to come next year. It Is the strongest in : 6orsement of democracy that has been rendered by voters in recent years. No. only local elections do I consider signif- cant, bat also the elections in Kentucky. Massachusetts and other points. The elec- tcn in Ohio show unquestionaby that the public is pleased with the present admin istration, the tax reforms that have been made and the management of state offices under democratic sway
 When asked regarding the Cincinnati results, MT. Harmon said: Personally. nothing could have pleased me better. I have fought for 25 years to free Cincin- nati from the sway of republicanism, aud am certainly delighted to find that the voters have awakened and broken the chains t.at bound her.
 Signs of victory for the democratic party are evident everywhere. Next year I predict that this party will win the national offices. including the presidency It Is indorsement of the democratic ad- n,inistratlve policies and the labors already performed by that party"

Viceroys Rebel


 According to the. statement many of the viceroys, however. are in sympathy with the new party suggested which claims also to have the support of majority of the national assembly.
 The national assembly is at odds with the southern revolutionists for having in dorsed the plan for limited monarchy instead of demanding a republic.
 In conclusion the informant declared that Yuan. Shi Kai obtained the premier ship only through the influence of Prince Ching, the deposed premier. and that Yuan was without strong following among the Chinese.
 The latter assertion is beyond denial, despite Yuan's recognized statesmanship. The statement makes 1t clearer that powerful influences are at work with a view to securing supremacy when the chaotic conditions now existing have sub sided.
 Tokio, November S.--Liang Chi Chiao, noted Chinese retormer and editor, who has been living in exile in Japan for some years past. leaves here today for ing to China with the intention of talk = ing prominent part in the reform movement.

 In Activity of Rev.
 OlutiOnists
CITY OF HANKOW HAS
 BEEN DESTROYED
Lowest Estimate of Property Damage Is Fifty Million Dollars, While Hundreds Have Lost Their
 Lives

PelxinC November Son the way to Peking are two men whose coming is anxiously awaited. One of the men lF Lang Chi Chiao, the noted exile, who Is considered the most influential Chinama1 of letters. He is believed to. be return ing here from Japan to take an active ,,art in the work of reform. The other is Gen. Chang Shao Tsen, commander of the Lanchau troops, who forced rom the administration promises of constl- tutional government.
 General Chang has refused appointment as imperial envoy to conciiate the peo' ple of the north on the ground that ms troops desired to remain under his com- mand, and he is now on his way to the capital at the summons of the govern < ment probably for the purpose Of broad discussion of the situation with the ad- ministration, if that is possible There is no question of the seriousness of events in Picking. The foreign resi- dents for the present are amply protected but thousands of natives are terror stricken and fear the approach of Chang Shi Tsen, who may not come alone. In the national assembly today mem- bers asked what measures had been taken for the protection of the people or Pe- king against General Chang, and the ques- tion also was raised as to whether ne was coming at the head of his troops. No member of the government was pres ent to reply, but the president of the assembly answered that Chang was ac- companed by his soldiers and that the palace had evidently ordered him here because he stands for the best that they can now hope fora constitutional mon- archy-unless his ideas have changed since the murder of Gen. Wu Lu Cheng.
 It was General Changs intention to proceed to Picking anyway, but the for eigners controlling the railway opposed this prior to the governments order. The opinion is held at the legations that General Chang cannot capture Picking without a struggle. The Manchus un- douhtedly are preparing for siege.
 Liang Coming Back
 An interesting statement regarding the plans of what was described as the re- formed party was made tonight from a source that in the past has been found invariably to be correctly informed on political affairs.
 According to this authority, Liang Chl Chiao, exiled Chinese editor, and most influential Chinese oF letters is return ing to the capital from Japan to direct the activities of the reformers, and as sist in the formation of new reformed cabinet
 In recent interview at his home in Suma, the editor said the present crisis would bring to the front man who at the time of the interview had not ap- peared on the revolutionary stage, Whether Liang Chi Chiao is to be the po- litical favorite is not disclosed. Nor is 1t made known whether his plan is ex- pected to have the support of the repub- licans of the south.

the others, all of whom were white,
testified in behalf of the officers.

There is much talk of the miscon-

army as in any walk of life-just as
honest and square as you can find in

and an insult to the uniform is an in
suit to our flag, an insult to that dear
old emblem of our country, the land of
the free and the home Of the brave.
An insult to it is an insult to the
sacred cause our forefathers fought,
bled and died for, and If we do not
honor that cause we disgrace ourselves.
