The Meeting Took Place Today at lschl,the Favorite Summer Resi dence of the Austrian Emperor. (Special wire to the Argus. "Vienna, Aug. 15 The meeting today of Emperor Francis Joseph and King Edward at Ischl, the favorite summer residence of the Austrian emperor, is officially stated to be merely a friendly meeting and without political signifi ance. While this is - doubtless true in a measure it is nevertheless a practical certainty that questions of deep inter national importance will be discussed by the two rulers. Emperor Francis Joseph is desirous of bringing about a final reconciliation between King Edward and Emperor William of Germany and it is probable that at his meeting with King Edward at Isehl he will assume the role of in termediary.

He Viciously Assails the Family Re cord of Mr. E. R. Prestn, of Charltte, wh recently Clandestinely Married Christian's Only Daughter. Special to The Argus. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 15 Atlanta is stirred from centre to circumference today over a card published by W. E. Christian of this city, and signed by him, in which he unsparingly assails the family record of Mr. E. R. Preston, a young lawyer of Charlotte, and who creditably represented Mecklenburg county in the late General Assembly of North Carolina. Some days ago Mr. Preston clan destinely married, in Charlotte, Miss Julia Jackson Christian, the only daughter of Mr. W. E. Christian, and only grand daughter of the late Stone wall Jackson. Miss Christian resided in Charlotte with her grandmother, Mrs. General Jackson, her own mother dying when she was an infant, and the courtship between her and Mr. Preston had been of long standing and was strenuously opposed by Miss Christian's fam ily; but she reciprocated Mr. Preston's affections, and at length recognizing that her family would never relent in their opposition, she, as has been so often done in the course of true love before, eloped and married the man of her choice. Andf now the irate father, so far for gets himself in his wrath, and that "all the world loves . lovers," as to ap pear in the public prints and assail the iamily record of the Preston family, that dates back as far and is as distin guished as that of the Christians or the Jacksons, the Prestons being of his tor ic renown and distinguished lineage, familiar to all students of our early colonial and national history and of Confederate times. Col. Preston, the father of young Preston, being a mem ber of General Jackson's staff. Mr. Christian in his card today gives as the reason why he and his son, who is now a student at West Point, op posed the marriage was because of the existence of epilepsy in the Preston family, charging that Mrs. Preston, mother of the groom, died of epilepsy in an infirmary. Extracting verbally from Mr. Chris tian's card, which is lengthy and full some, he says: "We have pleaded with her for over 12 months, personal ly, through physicians, and otherwise, to ' prevent her from throwing her young life away by this marriage, but she has been trapped, and my friends throughout "the South who know the circumstances are deep ly grieved that this splendid innocent girl should have been practically ruin ed so far as her descendents are con cerned, as Mr. Preston's mother died of epileptic fits, and his grandfather Preston died in the same manner." Until Mr. Christian published his card no such hereditary defect was ever dreamed of in the Preston family, and young Preston's brother, ' who lives here in Atlanta and is held in highest esteem, says that he himself had never before heard, of it. TAFT TO MAKE LONG TOUR. Passed Away at Kirkwood, Georgia: Was Cousin of Late President McKiniey. (By special wire to The Argus.) Atlanta, Aug. 17. Miss Junia Mc Kiniey, a cousin to the late President William McKiniey, and the founder of the first chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution in the United States, and one of the best beloved women in Atlanta, is dead at her home in Kirk wood. Miss McKiniey was a member of an old honored Georgia family, and at the early age of sixteen years she or ganized a private school in Atlanta and it is said taught the children of prac tically all the prominent families of this section. Owing to the ill health of her broth er, Nathaniel McKiniey, Miss McKin iey three years ago discontinued her school and gave her attention to his care and nursing. The majority of her relatives preceded her to the grave. Residing with her and her brother was her niece, Miss Estelle Wheelen. In addition to her great work in the Society of the Daughters of the Revolu tion Miss MeKinley found time to take a prominent part in the work of the Daughters of the Confederacy, the Co lonial Dames, the Daughters of 1912 and the various societies of St. Luke's church of which she was a consecrated member. During the Spanish-American war Miss McKiniey enlisted with the Red Cross society and for her efforts of mercy, was awarded a gold medal of which she was very proud. Miss Mc Kiniey had foj several years held muny .l onorary offices in the various societies to wbieh slie belonged. Miss McKiniey took the keenest de light in geneological research and was conceded to be the most accomplished and best geneologist in the Southern States. It was she who proved to the world that Napoleon Bonaparte, the great emperor and warrior, was of roy al birth. In delving among her geneol ogical histories Miss McKiniey asqer tained that Napoleon was descended from the Italian royalty. Up to the time of her death Miss Mc Kiniey carried on a very interesting correspondence with Jerome Bonaparte and Princess Mathilde Boneparte. Miss McKiniey 's family home was at Nevvhan, Ga. In additional to her brother, Nathaniel, Mjss McKiniey is survived by her brother, Joseph Mc Kiniey, of Mobile, Ala., and a sister, Mrs. Fannie Scales, The tunerul ar rangements will be announced later.

Is To Represent The Administration At The Opening Of The Philippine j Congress On October 26. Special to The Argus. Washington, D. C, Aug. 17. Secre tary of War William H. Taft, will to morrow set forth upon one of the trips which have been so marked a feature of his political career. According to his plans he will make a circuit of the globe before returning to Washington the latter part of November or early in December. Secretary Taft is to represent the Ad ministration at the opening of the Phil ippine Congress on October 26, and from the Philippines he will return by the Trans-Sibexian Railway to St. Petersburg, returning from thereto the United States by way of Paris and London. The trip across the continent to Seat tle, from which port the Secretary of War will sail for the Philippines, will be a leisurely one, with stops at a num ber of points to deliver speeches. These speeches will be of a political character and will mark the real opening of the Taft campaign for J the Presidential nomination. V The first of these speeches n, is to be delivered at Columbus, Ohio, next Monday night. He will speak at that time under the auspices of the Buckeye Republican Club of the capital- city of Ohio. This speech is awaited with keen interest in political circles and it is expected to sound the keynote of the Taft campaign. The Secretary of War on this occasion is expected to answer the attacks on himself in connection with the tariff revision question, to de fend the position of the administration with respect to the Brownsville affair, and appeal to the voters as the repre sentative of fhe Roosevelt policies. The speech will be a direct reply to the challenge recently issued by Senator Foraker. After leaving Ohio Secretary Taft is scheduled for speeches in Kentuckyj Oklahoma, Missouri, and at Denver, Portland and Seattle. He will arrive at the last named place in time to sail on the Manchuria on September 10. The trip to Manila will be made by way of Japan and China. The stay in the Philippines will be short. The re turn from the Far East will be made by the way of the Trans-Siberian Railway and Europe. It is stated that this route has been adopted in order that a week or more may be saved in getting back to Washington. But as the Sec retary travels up through China and than over the battlefields of Manchu ria, he will be traversing a region where at the present moment commer cial and political problems of the first magnitude are being worked out. Mr. Taft will travel unofficially as soon as be has discharged his mission in Ma nila, but the tour through the Far East of a man so high in the Administration will be watched with Interest by the competitors of the United States. On his journey around the world Mr. Taft will be accompanied by his wife, his son, and his secretary. A fourth member of the party will be Menfico Taft, a Filipino, who adopted the Secre tary of War as his father a year or so ago. Apart from the political results of his trip, Secretary Taft will have es tablished a record for a cabinet minis ter's wanderings. " Very few men of his position have ever traveled around the world while in office, and it is cal culated that when he sees this city again he will have concluded 150,000 miles of journeyings to and fro on the face of the earth since he became a member of the President's official family.
