Negro Arrested in Richmond for AS
sault Said to Have Killed Wo-
man in Alexandria.

-
Joseph Meekins, a negro, was az
rested in Richmond yesterday on the
charge of assaulting and beating a
woman name Lizzie Brown. He was
brought before Justice Crutchheld,
Who fined the accused SO. ra
Il was subsequently alleged that
3Ieekins was wanted in Alexandra to
answer the charge of numbering a
woman. Justice Crutchfield ordered
hin, to be held and the Alexandria
authorities notified.
INQUIRIES were made at the station
house in this city today concerning
the alleged criminal, but the officers
haze no recollection of a wollan hav-
ing been murdered here nor any fugl-
tive from justice name Joseph Meek
ms. They know but one man bearing
the name and he is not wanted by
the authorities.
1t is possible that Meekins is wan
ted in the county, although the Ga
%elte has been unable to obtain an!
information of the murder of wom-
an in that jurisdiction recently anc
the escape Of the perpetrator.

4 MILLION MEN OR MORE.
4 General Response Should Follow il
President Needed Soldiers.

Secretary of State William Jen-
nings Bryan gave utterance to Il
statement in his New York address
that gives proof of his adroitness in
conveying warning in manner
that is effective while thoroughly dip
lomatic. Discussing the fact that
the President had saved this country
from war with Mexico and comment
ing upon The value of this service in
view Of the ravage Of war abroad, Mr..
Bryan employed bit of rhetoric that
will doubtless cause to ponder any
power that might be disposed either
now CT in the future to embroil the
United States.
His words were: "The President
knows that if he needed million
volunteers he could issue a call
at sunrise and that the sun would 20
down on a million men in line"
While the expression was made in
connection with what could have been
done in case of war to the south, it
holds good with regard to war in
any other quarter-with the eXcep-
ton that in case OF war elsewhere i
million men would not measure the
response from sunrise to sunset.
The United States is 4 purely pa
cific country and it owes a deOt Of
gratitude to the man in the White
House for his prevention Of its EN-
broilment. But if the need were to
arise it would be a nation in arms
for it is a nation Of patriots, and
every man in the country includes in
his ideas of patriotism service to the
