Tallow Dick ’ Combe and Mason Hoek ersmlth, the former of whom is under, in dictment as an accessory, were in the of fice at that time. About five minutes aft er the shooting witness went to the ar senal with a message from Assistant Ad jutant General Dixon calling out the Trasper Snyv Shot Fired. Corporal Milt Trasper said he arrived in Frankfort on Jan. 25 and remained until after Jan. 30. He was in the House cloak room looking out of a window toward the executive building when the shooting oc curred He saw a window on the third floor of the executive raised, heard -the sohts and saw smoke, but could no tsee either man or gun.

He claimed that he found two boxes, one upon the other, near the window he had noticed open when the shots were fired. Cross-examined Trasper said he was a member of John Powers’ military com pany. The latter sent for him on Jan. 24 and told him he had secret orders from r.ov Taylor to bring his military com pany to Frankfort. Witness was afraid trouble might come* up over the soldiers going in this manner and preserved Pow ers' note to protect himself in case there was any irregularity about it. A\ itness cilil no military service at Frankfort un til immediately after the assassination. John Powers met him and told him to get his gun. which he did. Dr J W. Prewitt testified that John L.

PROSECUTION OF RAT HBOS E. Hi Trial In Likely to Come i'p the Firnt Week in September. Havana, Aug. 7.—Martin C. Fosnes, act i g director g neral of posts, appeared for the first lime personally to-day against Est- s G. Riat'nbone, the deposed director, and offered additional evidence in the court of first instance. Deputy Auditor Lawshe, who has been investigating Mr. Rathbone s accounts, disallows items aggregating more than $25,C00. The se include unauthorized per sonal expenditures and stuffed payrolls, t g ther with a number of qu*stloi.able contracts. The fiscal is ready to go to trial after Judge Barringa mafcs a summary of the charges, and the time allotted to the ac ousfd to answer expires, it is probable therefore that th*' trial will come on dur ing the first week of September. The question has been raised as to whether Mr. Rathbone can be legally con victed without the presence of C. F. W. Neely, the dismissed financial agent of posts, who is also charged with heavy de falcation. It is held by some that Mr. Rathbone’s alleged offense is quite, dis tinct. despite the fact that an old Spanish law requires the tribunal 10 try simulta neously persons accused of joint criminal ity. Fifty cases of yellow fever are now under treatment in Havana, and the dis ease is on the increase in Pinar del Rio. The conditions are said to be largely due to the advent of non-immune Spanish em igrants, now amounting to some 20.000. MEDICAL SYSTEM CRITICISED. Miss Chandler's ( hurgeN Answered by Surgeon General. Washington, Aug. 7.—Miss Margaret Astor Chandler of New York has for warded from Manila to the Secretary of War a severe criticism of the army’s medical system in the Philippines, alleg ing that there is a lack of surgeons, lack of nurses, lack of medical supplies, in cluding such articles as sheets, and asking that she be allowed 500 sheets for emer gency distribution. Secretary Root referred Miss Chandler’s letter to Surgeon General Sternberg, who has been making a thorough inquiry in to the various points raised. He has completed and to-day submitted to Mr. Root, what Is regarded as a complete re futation of the arraignment of the medi cal service In general and of the speci fic points of arraignment made by Miss Chandler. The records of the war department have been brought forward to show that many of Miss Chandler's specific charges lack ground. These records are said to dis close repeated telegrams from Gen. Sternberg to the authorities at Manila asking them to state how many nurses and doctors they required and to give early notice of their requirements, in or der that all needs might be met promptly. It is said that practically the same show ing was made as to supplies. DISASTROUS THINDHHSTORM9. Boy Drowned nt Pli.tt*bnrg and Much Property Damaged. Plattsburg, N. Y..

REPUBLICANS ABE DUBIOUS. NOT INCLINED TO DO TOO MUCH IN NORTH CAROLINA. Believed tlie Politicians Simply Want to Get Hold of Some of the Re lnblican. Caiupuign Fund—Marion Butler’* Career In North Carolina Is OveiwEx-Congressmen Sim mons May Succeed Him—Carmack to Go to Senate From Tennessee. Washington, Aug. 7.—Republican manag ers in closest touch with the North Caro lina situation are inclined to think that the stories indicating a possibility of car rying that state against Bryan, And thekr inspiration in the desire of the politicians down there to get hold of some of the Re publican campaign funds. They say that it looks easy enough to figure out how a combination of the Re publican and Populist votes could darry the state against Bryan and they are willing to concede that most of the Pop ulists who voted with the Republicans in the state election of last week are so bit terly opposed to the Democrats that it will be difficult for them to vote for Bryan. But they are inclined to believe that the state election proved,if it proved anything, that there are very few Populist voters left. Senator Butler, they say, is a lead er with practically no followers; and they believe that it would be worse than a waste of money to put any in North Car olina on any such forlorn hope. Senator Butler’* Future. There Is much speculation among the politician*; here in Washington gs to the future of Marion Butler. His defeat for re-election to the 'Senate is assured. He owns a couple of little weekly papers out of which he might eke a small livelihood, but there is absolutely no political future for him In that state. It is generally be lieved that he will leave the state and make his home elsewhere. Some of his followers who joined Butler in thinking him a big man say that he is seriously contemplating moving to Colorado and that he is nursing a hope of becom ing a senatorial possibility in that state. They say that his prominence in bring ing about fusion on the national ticket has made him a power with the Populists of that state and they seem to believe that if he goes there be can become the suc cessor to Senator Wolcott. Simmon* May Succeed Him. The man who will in all probibality suc ceed Senator Butler in his present position is former Congressman F. M. Simmons, who has been at the head of the-Demo cratic organization of North Carolina dur ing the past two campaigns. Gen. Julian Carr, one of the wealthiest men in the state, is also a possibility, but Simmons has the politicians wirh him. There seems to have been a deal or general under standing if Simmons were able by his “business methods’* to carry through the amendment disfranchising the negro, he was to be given this seat in the Senate. The defeat of Senator Pritchard, the Repub lican Senator from the state, is also as sured. The elimination of seventy-flve thousand negro votes leaves very little to the Republican party, save in the moun tain counties of Western North Carolina. Pritchard is the natural leader of this ele ment, but there is not enough of It to cut <i figure in national politics. The TeuucHsee Primaries. The Tennessee primaries have settled the senatorial fight in favor of Hon. E. W. Carmack who represents the Memphis district in the lotfer House. Carmack has always been an active newspaper man and had never thought of political office until the Democrats of that district in sisted upon his becoming a candidate against Uncle Joslah Patterson who was one of the foremost of the Cleveland cuckoos and who led the vain fight in that state against silver. Carmack was elected on the face of the returns, but Patterson contested and everybody thought would get the seat. Carmack, however, made such a vigorous onslaught on the old man, that he charmed a lot of Republicans who refused to follow their party leaders and either voted for Car mack or stayed away. He has served two terms in the Houfee and is popular. He is one of the few curly headed men in Congress. AFRO-AMERICAN CONVENTION. W ill Meet In Indianapolis on lug. 26 for Various Purposes.

Tlic Democratic \ttitucle. In conclusion, l may be permitted to express the profound satisfaction which I feel In contemplating the present atti tude of the Democratic party. In 1896 I wgs of those, who keenly feeling the recreancy of the Republican party, was much In doubt whether the memorable Democratic Convention at Chicago, in adopting its splendid platform, and nom inating William J. Bryan for the presi dency, wag actuated by an impulse or by a purpose. The magnificent achievements at Kansas City have settled all possible doubt on that subject. The platform adopt ed not only re-enacis the principles of 1896, but In language whose force, dignity and beauty have never been equalled In a similar document, responds to the new Issues presented In the growth of the trust monopoly and the imperialistic po’icy of the administration by an ap propriate enunciation of those sublime doctrines of human rights and liberties whose profession and observance have been the ultimate happiness of mankind. And again the duty of carrying the ban ner of the cause has been committed io that tried and trusted hand whose grasp has never weakened, no fear can make to falter, and no burden can dismay. The leadership of Bryan which could have re deemed a bad platform, sanctifies a good one. It made memorable an unsuccessful contest. It will crown a victory with im perishable splendor. With every senti ment of respect and gratitude, I remain most sincerely yours, "Charles A. Towne.” WILI, CALL THE COMMITTEE. Populists Mar Tame Candidate to Tnke Tonne’s Place. Lincoln, Neb..

Aug. 7.—The striking long shoremen have sent a communication to the timber merchants In which they aban don their demand for an increase in wages, but insist on shortening the hour* of the day from fen to eight and receiv ing their pay weekly. The merchants replied that while they were not now greatly inconvenienced by the strike, they were unwilling to see the men idle and the community Injured by the presence of unemployed laborers, and would therefore be willing to pay the men weekly, but not reduce the hours. It was explained to the men that the re duction in hours would mean a twemty per cent. Increase in wage* and a long d-elay in loading the vessels, which oould not be allowed by the merchants with out loss. It is understood the men have refused the terms of the merchants and insist on their demand for eight hours. The mer chants are indifferent, as they claim to have plenty of men to load the vessels.

C., here this morning. There Is a good attendance and a great deal of interest. The Hanclin Oynasty. From the Baltimore Sun. Mr. J. 8. Tucker, of Washington. In an article In the New York Bun, notes the In ter, sting coincidence that the Manchu dynasty In China owes Its or'gln In part lo the murder of an ambastador in the early part of the seventeenth century. In ISM Noorhachu, Prince of the Manchu trlbo tf Tsrtata, declared war against Waulch. of Mtog dynasty, then Emperor of Ch no. In the proclamation Issued by the Taitar Prince seeing forth his rea sons for making war on the Chinese It was stated that >he latter had murdered M* ambassador. In the courea o%.thls jtar the Tartars captured the capital of tha Chinese province of Ll-Ou-Tlng. The gar rison vos massacred and the Inhabitants of the town were required to shave their heads in token of submlss'on o their con querors. In his history of China Boulger says that this Is the first historical refer ence to a practice which is now univer sal In Chin) and that has become what may be called a national characteristic. All that Is known of the origin of the plg • all Is that it was first < nforced as a badge of subjugation by the Manchus and was made the one condition of immunity from massacre. Since the conquest of China, nearly 300 years ago, the Manchus and the Chinese have remained quite distinct. The princi pal cltl.s are garrlsontd by Manchu reg iments, In which no Chinamen are al b .wed to serve. On the other hand, the rrml s cm pored of Chinese have soma Manchus serving with them. According to l ord Beresford, whose recent work on Chiro Is quoted hy Mr. Tucker, the arm ies about Pekin ar> nearly all command ed by Manchu princes. Prince Tuan, who !s alleg'd, to have usurped authority at Pekin. Is a Manchu. LI Hur.g Chang, who has bn summonei to th capital. Is a pure-blooded Chlmrnan. and by some au thorities Is regarded as the ablest states man In the empire. In Mr. Tucker's opin ion Ihe Manchu princes are the Bourbons of China. They have ruled o long ovsr the empire that they have become Im patient of any Interferenca from the out side world. Although the Manchus are Outtanders they havs railed the tsau# of "China for the Chlneae." The recent ef fort* of European nations to soure parts of the territory of China have alarmed them fer the security cf the empire. In which they ihemselvea are largely a for eign element. In order to retain the con trol which they won with the sword the Manchus have now advnted a policy which would have excluded them from ChTa In the acrenteenth century If the Chinese had been atrorg enough to en force the doctrine. ■*"♦ ■ ♦ —He Refle-'ts— "Destiny." said the pen. slve hoarder, "la like a chicken—l> isn’t everybody who can carva U to bis entire satisfaction.' ’—Puck. 5
