THE CABINET DISCUSSES
CHINESE SITUATION
Admiral Kempff to Have Charge of
Reinforcements From Manila.
Washington, June 12. The cabinet
meeting today was attended by Sec
retaries Hay Hitchcock, Long and
Gage and Postmaster General Smith. It
was devoted largely to a discussion of
the Chinese situation. Secretary Hay
laid before the cabinet despatches from
some of the consular officers in China,
which indicated that the situation is
very critical. Secretary Long has no
inte despatches.
The steps that have been taken to re
inforce Admiral Kempff were gone
over and it was decided to stand by
the policy which has been entered
upon, of pushing measures for "the pro
tection of the lives and property of the
American citizens and of acting inde
pendently as far as possible. It may
be that "in the accomplishment of this
result that forces of the powers will
have to act in unison ro the protec
tion of all foreign residents in the dis
turbed districts, but this is 'to be the
extent of the American activity. It
is to be confined solely to the protection
and safeguarding of our interests and
those of our citizens.
The Chinese government will be look
ed to, under the general Haws of the
comityof nations, to restore order and
to make such reparation as is proposed
from all political schemes in which
powers may become involved the Unit
ed States is to hold aloof. This is the
general policy heretofore outlined, and
Tt will be adhered to.
The navy department has cabled di
rectly to Rear Admiral Kempff at
Taku to inform him that marine re
inforcements have been ordered to him
from Manila. Thus the admiral will
be in a position to act with greater free
dom in sending relief expeditions to
Pekin and elsewhere, knowing that be
will soon be able to replace the ma
rines diverted from Taku.
STREE1ER A CONSPIRATOR.
Charge Brought Against Him by State
of Illinois.
Chicago, June 12. Captain George
W. Streeter, whose cohorts recently
took possession of the "District of
Lake Michigan" and defied thewhole
local police force, was 'tod-ay held to? the
criminal court, charged with conspir
acy, accessory before the fact, and as
sault. The "District of Lake Michi
gan" is the name given by Streeter to
land which has been formed by dump
ing in the lake off the shore. Captain
Streeter took possession of it when it
was a mere sand bar. A recent at
tempt to oust some of the captain's fol
lowers who had intrenched themselves
on the land, resulted in some shooting
and riotous acts. The land is now val
ued at many millions of dollars and
measures about forty acres

ers today before the cabinet meeting,

burn, of his state, for the vice presi
dency. San, Francisco, June 12. The men
tion of Irving M. Scot as candidate for
the vice presidential (nomination at the
Philadelphia convention is exciting con
siderable interest in California. It is
stated that the delegates from the
Third congressional district have been
instructed for Secretary of the Navy

from other districts do not hesitate in
saying that the California delegation
should support a Californlan if presen
ed to the convention.

Washington, June 12. MacArthur
cabled from Manila today: "Report
capture Generals Hizon, near Mexico,
and Cevestary at Alcala; both import
ant: latter very important, leaders
guerillas in Panganay province, Luzon

General Corbin attaches importance
to these captures. He thinks they are
in the nature of surrenders and indi
cate that the principal leaders of the
insurgents are abandoning the cause

American supremacy.

Correspondene of The Gazette.
Brevard, N. C, June 9. This has been
a gala day for the republicans of
Transylvania county. Never in the
history of the republicans of this coun
ty has there been so large, representa
tive and enthusiastic a convention as
the one held today. Various estimates
place the number ot 300, and these were
voters, not Women and children. Men
rode twenty and more miles to be here.
Enthusiasm was at its height. The
determination to resent the unholy ag
gression upon the rights and libeAties of
freemen was clear and unmistakeable.
After permanent organization had been
completed with C. B. Deaver as chair
man and D. L. English secretary, the
convention proceeded to name the coun
ty ticket, which is as follows:
For Representative Dr. W. C. Fisher.
For Sheriff V. B. McGaha
For Registrar of Deeds W. L. Tally.
For Treasurer John C. Cooper.
For County. Comrnissioners. M. L.
Hamilton. Geo. C. Neill, Vance Gallo
way. P'or Coroner Dr. W. M. Lyday.
For Surveyor Arthur Young.
This is a strone and winning ticket.
and the democrats know it. We wifl
elect it by a good majority. The re
publicans are united, determined and
iflsHo. Thft oerfect harmony in
the convention vas most gratifying in
deed. Everybody is highly pleased with
the ticket, and will work as never be
fore for its success. The best feature
of the convention was the matchless ad
rirp.&s hv Hrim. Jiames M. Moody. He
handled the false promises and the dis
franchising schemes of the democratic
Darty with gloves off. At frequent in
tervals he was Interrupted by tremend
ous outbreaks of applause.
After the speaking the executive com
mittee was reorganized for the next

WAYNESVILLE EXCURSION
Prove a. Verv Plun.nt Ontiner FcT
J
the ALL
The Asheville Light Infantry excur
sion to Waynesville yesterday was well
patronized and was successful in fur
nishing the opportunity for a pleasant
time to the excursionists.' The com
pany came out without loss, and the
results might have been more satisfac
tory if the energy had been shown by
each member of the company that was
shown by a few of them.
About 300 people, including military
boys, and children, left Asheville, and
parties got on at the intermediate sta
tions. The Blue Ridge Rifles sent aj
detachment under Lieutenant Lind
sey, which went as part of the A. L.
I., Lieutenant Lindsey acting as sec
ond lieutenant of the entire company.
The Asheville boys were met at the
station by the Ridhland Rifles. The
sham battle began at 11 o'clock, the
Richland Rifles on the defensive. Cap
tain Stringfield advanced his men by
.platoons in company front, and when
within one hundred yards began a
rapid fire. The A. L. I. skirmishers
fell back before the advance, but Cap
tain Nichols held the line of fortifica
tions. The Asheville boys ar? grate
ful to the Waynesville boys for partic
ipating in the battle.
A rain began about 12 o'clock, which
continued until after 2. Dinner was
served in the new Haywood White Sul
phur Springs hotel, and it was an ex
cellent one.
The grounds dried up sufficiently af
ter 4 o'clock for the baseball gome,
although it was too muddy for any
particularly bright playing. Tne
Asheville team won by a score of 14 to
1. The features of the game were the
heavy batting of the Asheville boys
and the work of Melton, for Asheville,
in the box, Waynesville being unable
to touch his pitching, their mly
being made in the first inning.
Asheville scored three in the second
two in the third, eight in the fifth and
lone in' the sixth, but the game was
called back to the end of . the fifth,
with the score 13 to 1, to allow the
Asheville team to catch the train.
The batting order of the Asheville
team was: Coggins, catcher; Redwood,
centre field; Burnett, shortstop; Birch-
law, third base; Lynch, second base;
Melton, pitcher; J. Coggins, left field;
Lindsey, right field; Weaver,- first
base.
Waynesville's batting order was:
Russell, shortstop; Welch, catcher;
Enloe, first base; Smathers, second base
and pitcher; Logan, pitcher and sec
ond base; White, third base; Stone,
right field; Farmer, centre field; Whip-
perwill, left field.
The Waynesville team is arranging
another game with the Asheville team
on the Waynesville grounds, all ex
penses guaranteed.
The dancing in the dining room of
the White Sulphur Springs hotel began
about 3 o'clock. The large room was
almost full continuously, many of the
dancers being Waynesville people. The
Waynesville people did a reat deal to
make the day pleasant, which would
have been uniformly so had it not been
for the rain, but that was soon over,
and is quite a usual occurrence at
Waynesville when an excursion is run.

NOMINATED FOR THE SENATE
W. T. Buchanon the Choice of the
31st District Republicans.
Marion, N. C, June 12. The repub
licans of the Thirty-first senatorial dis
trict met here Saturday with W. F.
Craig as chairman and W. T. Morgan
as secretary, and nominated for the
senate Mr. L. Buckhouser, a very pop
ular young republican of Mitchell, and
endorsed A. V. Miller, populist, of
Caldwell. The district will be carried
this time by a larger majority than it
was two years ago by Souther and
Kerley, who were so scandalously rob-
hi of their offices bv the last leeris
lature. This outrage has given much
strength to the anti-democratic forces
Many democrats have denounced it, de
claring that Eaves and Lambert well
knew they were not elected and that
such conduct was ruinous to the dem
ocratic party.
WAYNESVILLE NOTES- ,
Waynesville, June 12. The Asheville
Light Infantry excursion, six cars
strong, arrived here at 9:30 o'clock this
morning. Quite a number joined the
excursionists at Canton, Clyde atid oth
er points on the line. A hard rain fell
about 1 o'clock, which somewhat inter
fered with the ball game. There was a
dance at the Springs. Large numbers
of the Ashevillians also spent the af
ternoon driving in and around town.
The train left at about 6 o'clock for
Asheville.
Prof. W. C. Allen left yesterday af
ternoon for Morehead City to attend
the teachers' asesmbly.
Prof. A. T. Anderson went to Ashe

his old friend, W. M. Smathers, among
the Asheville excursionists today.
The cartoon in Saturday's Gazette,
showing the political situation in Hay-

Dr. Thomas Lawrence spoke on the
work of the Normal and Collegiate in
the normal, commercial aaid home

, They realize that if they fail now it
. is good-bye to a free ballot in this
state. The democratic ring also real
i izes that if they are defeated the peo
ple will never again fully trust them.
Their only hope ia to carry it by the
; help of the dishonest election law. I
: heard Aycock speak and when he dis
cussed the fifth section the only point
he made was this: 'You republicans
only say it is unconstitutional to dis
i franchise a negro if you disfranchise
a whfte man at the same time.' This
is simply no argument at all. Would
he dare to use such drivel if he were
to argue this cause before the supreme
court?
'"In that published opinion of several
lawyers of the state, 'they first say that
they believe section five is constitution
al. And then they go on and say if
section five is not, then four and five
will fall together. This is simply no
opinion at all. If ever there was a time
in the history of a people when their
dearest liberties were, threatened, that
time is now. Do you think it right to
deprive a man of his vote because he
can not read and write? Was that a
test of our forefathers when they fol
lowed Washington' through snow ana
cold in rags and privation? Not on in
ten of those patriots could read and
write.
"But Mr. Aycock says we will edu
cate the people. Why have they not
done it before? They have had the
government of this state for many
years. If they have not done so in the
past, are they likely to do so in the
future? But what was their purpose
in submitting this amendment? In the
black counties they could roll up a big
majority every time. It was only in
these liberty-loving white coum'ties of
the west that they could not control
the vote. The republican party is nox
in favor of negro domination, and never
has been. A few negroes nave neiu
minor, offices, but they did tftat umaer
democratic rule as well. Those men
who wear the white supremacy buttons
say by that act that they are in fa
vor of fastening a chain abort the
necks of the people, and that they are
willing to vote away not only their own
rights, but those of all other people in
the state. They are a badge or slav
ery. ..." .

YANCE STATUE UNVEILING.
The committee on the Vance statue
met at Raleigh Monday afternoon.
Richard H. Battle presided. The other
members present were Dr. R. H.
Speight, J. D. Boushall and Joseph G.
Brown, of the state committee, and A.
A. Thompson, of the local committee.
After a thorough discussion as to the
time best suited for the ceremonies of
the unveiling, Wednesday, August 22,
was decided upon. The chief reasons
for the selection are that by that time
the excitement of the campaign and
the election will be ended and that the
heavy work of the farmers will be ov
er, as the crops will have been laid by.
SOME WELCOME GUESTS. "
Says the Chattanooga News of Mon
day, speaking of the newspaper men
who will visit Asheville today: "The
members of the Tennessee Press asso
ciation will begin gathering in Chatta
nooga today, and by tomorrow they
will have the town. Chattanooga is
merely the point of rendezvous for
them, but they will take advantage of
the opportunity to see the sights again
around the old town. The News would
welcome them to the city and assure
them that our people regard the press
of Tennessee a most important factor
in our material prosperity. The mem
bers of this association are hard work
ing men, as a rule,, and do more for the
advancement of the state than any
other class of workers. Through them,
and them alone, can the world get a
true idea of conditions that prevail in
Tennessee. But for the newspapers
Tennessee would be merely a speck on
the map."
APPLE CROP PROSPECTS.
The prospects for a wheat and apple

KNOCKED HIM OUT.
John L. Sullivan Did It Once With
out Striking a Blow.
A Cleveland man who was a great ad
mirer of John L. Sullivan's prowess in
the roped arena recently told the follow
ing story of the former pugilistic cham
pion: "It happened in the day when Sul
livan was the world's champion and the
most feared man in the ring. 'Sully' was
touring the country with an offer of $250
to any man, bar none, who would stay in
the ring with him for four rounds. Many
essayed that dangerous feat, and the
same number failed. Finally the aggre
gation reached one of the largest of our
western cities, in which the leading paper
was owned by a man who was an all
around sport and who took an especial
interest in matters appertaining to the
squared circle. .
"The editor had a young protege who
aspired to pugilistic honors in the person
of a young butcher who had knocked out
all the local 'plug uglies' and was reach
ing out for other fields to conquer. Him
the editor determined to pit against the
great John L., but upon broaching the
subject to his man the latter promptly in
terposed countless objections, manifestly
inspired by fear. The editor, however,
knew John well, so he sought him out
and, after telling him of his 'pug' and
what he wanted, said: 'Now, John, let
him stay until the last part of the third
or the first part of the fourth round. You
can put him out whenever you want to,
but if you let him last a bit it wont hurt
you, and it will help him a lot.'
"The great man pondered for a mo
ment and then made reply: 'Naw, I won't
do it. I've seen dis duck, and he's a big,
husky feller, and if by accident he land
ed a wallop on me jaw, why de next day
it'd be Sullivan de stuff, and "yours tru
ly" would be drivin a street car. No, I
puts him out as soon as ever I can, and
that goes, see?' The editor made another
appeal, to which John astutely replied:
'Say, youse say it can't do me no harm.
Why don't you set some bright young
feller in your line up in an afternoon
pape?' The editor, acknowledging the
point well taken, retired from the argu
ment. "That night when the time arrived for
the bout Sullivan arose from his corner
and threw off his bath wrapper. As the
' editor expressed it afterward, he seemed
to swell out lik an accordion, and then,
putting on that awful expression that de
feated many an opponent before a blow
was struck, John L. called out to the
trembling young butcher in the other
corner: 'Say, youse over dere, some f rents
of youse came to me ter day and asked
me to let you stay till de last of the third
or de first of de fort, but I told 'em nix,
I was goin to knock you out when I gets
de chanst. Sihcte.. djen;"my think tank's
been workin, aniflH-ain't goin ter knock
youse out at all. I'm a-goin ter' and here
Mr. Sullivan surveyed y his prospective
victim with a diabolically bloodthirsty
smile 'I'm just a-goin ter stun yer.
With a howl like an entrapped beast the
editor's protege fled from the stage and
from the realms of pugilism for all time."
