I lie Flrt Ileyree.
Kl iiMosr), Va., September 2S. The
campaign in this ,tat is bfcoming
alarmingly hot. Two personal encoun
ters between congressional delegate.
have oceured this week, and it is feared
that bloodshed will result before the
end of the canvass. The tirst of these
occurred at Livingston, Nelson county,
in the tenth district, between Repre
sentative Henry St. Geo. Tucker and
his republican opponent. Mr. .Jacob
Yost.
During a joint discussion between
the two a oue.-tion of varacity arose be
tween Tucker and Yost, w hen the for
mer promptly culled the latter a liar.
.Mr. Yost struck at Mr. Tin ker, but
tYienils interferred and prevented fur
t her t rouble.
The second difliculty occurred yester
day at King William court house in this
(the third) district, where Colonel Taze
well Kllett. the democratic nominee,
attacked .Judge J. W, Gregory, his pop
ulist opponent. The colonel stated
that .Judge (iregory repudiated the
Oca la platform of his party now, hut
that he had accepted and claimed to
stand upon it in his speech at New
Kent court h use.
.Judge (iregory. in a manner very ve
hement and aggressive, denied this.
Colonel Kllett asked if his denial in
such Hut terms implied that he (Kllett)
was making an untrue statement, or
something to this elTVct.
Judge Gregory's reply was construed
ly Colonel Kllett to be insulting, and
he kicked him.
Friends soon interfered, and further
disturbance was avoided. Joint dis
cussions were never before so numer
ous in a Virginia campaign, and the
voters aie wrought up to a high pitch
of excitement.
SAYS CONGRESS SHOULD ACT.
K-licf Itccoiiimended for the Settler of
the Burnett District.
Washington, September ;s. Com
missioner Lamoreux of the general
land oniee has decided to embody in
his annual report a recommendation
that congress should immediately take
some action for the relief of the settlers
on homesteads in the burned districts
of Wisconsin and Minnesota. The com
missioner says that he can find no law
which will authorize the department to
grant the settler permission to cut the
burned timber on their homesteads,
yet he is enough of a practical lumber
man to know that this timber must In
cut this winter in order to save it.
The commissioner believes that con
gress will act promptly ami that the
homesteaders will be authorized to cut
the timber this coming winter.
