THE FIGHT CLOSE IN VIRGINIA
Madeline Pollard. Said to Hare Been In
Lexington to Shoot Breckinridge
if He Won.
West Virginia' Fight.
Washington, Sept. 15. The most
conspicuous battlefield in the struggle
between the two great political parties
from now until November will be in
West Virginia. Although claimed by
both republicans and democrats, it is
very much in the doubtful column. Of
course the center of interest is in Rep
resentative Wilson's district, where the
republicans will leave no stone unturned
to deal a blow to tariff reform by defeat
ing its ablest advocate. Apide from the
contest in Wilson's district, if the dem
ocrats lose the state it will mean the
election of another republican to the
United States senate, and for this rea
son both parties are making strenuous
efforts to hold their people in line.
Prominent representatives of both re
publican and democratic principles have
assisted in the opening of the campaign,
and between now and election day
Catchings, Speaker Crisp, McMillin and
other noted tariff reformers will speak
in Wilson's district, and Reed, Burrows
and others will probably find time to
make a few stump speeches in the state.
Senator Camden and Representative
Alderson were in Washington today,
having just returned from the opening
of the campaign. Alderson is a member
of the democratic congressional commit
tee, of which Senator Faulkner of his
state is chairman. Speaking of the sit
uation in his district, Alderson said :
"The campaign opened in my district
the 8th inst., and it opened at a place
which promises to assume a very lively
gait before election day. In faet, we're
going to have a red-hot campaign. The
issue is drawn equarely on the princi
ples of the great parties, and there are
no entangling local features to sidetrack
candidates. My opponent, Mr. Huling,
is a strong man with a clean record, and
the contest for representative is going to
be a square, stand-up fight between the
republican and the democrats. I shall
carry the district, however, if the demo
crats do their duty, and their is no rea
son to think that they will not. I have
never saen more interest and enthusi
asm so far in advance of election day.
The republicans are claiming a great
deal, and say they are going to carry the
district, but its just this way about that:
They carry the district 364 days in the
year, and then on the last day election
day we carry it. It will be that way
this time. The tariff bill and the in
come tax are the prominent features, of
course, in the contest. We are demon
strating that the tariff bill is a great
deal better measure than it is credited
with being, and we are standing right
up to it."
"Have you any knowledge of the situ
ation in Representative Wilson's dis
trict?" "Well, the campaign is scarcely
opened there yet, but Mr. Wilson is
going to carry that district. They can
not beat him. I know the republicans
are moving heaven and earth to beat
him, but our people are working just as
hard, and they will pull him through on
lection day."
Submarine Torpedoes Laid.
Washington, Sept. 15. A dispatch
was received at the state department to
day from Minister Dunn announcing that
the Japanese government has blockaded
with submarine torpedoes the entrance
to the Gulf of Tokio and the harbor of
Nagasaki. The United States minister
was notified. August 17 that the blockade
would take effect August 25, and all ves
sels would be prohibited entering or
leaving -without the conduct of a pilot
vessel having on board an officer of the
imperial navy. No vessels will be per
mitted to leave between sunset and sun
rise. Those arriving from a distance
will be notified by government boats
stationed outside the harbor. Notice
was giyen by the minister to masters of
Highest of all in Leavening
AOSOaSMTEEXf . PURE '
American vessels. The action was taken
for protection against the Chinese fleets.
It is the most serious step of the war np
to date in it,s effect upon foreign com
mercial interests.
ALSO ABOUT THE ELECTION.
Colonel Watterson Is Thankful.
Louisville, Sept. 15. Mr. Watterson
has the following at the head of the news
columns of the Courier-Journal:
"The good people of Kentucky will
breathe freer today. It was a fierce, re
lentless fight, but the honor of the state
was involved, as well as its virtue, man
hood and Christianity. The church
bells ring out happy auguries, the pray
ers give thanks to God. Great disgrace
has been averted. The good sense and
the integrity of the people of Ashland
district and of popular government have
been vindicated."
A Most Wonderful Race.
Enid, O. T., Sept. 15. The first anni
versary of the opening of the Cherokee
strip was celebrated today by all the dis
tinguished persons of Oklahama. The
feature of the occasion was an exact re
production of the origional race for the
townsite, the prize to the winner being a
lot valued at $2000. Five thousand peo
ple participated in the race, but the real
contest was between 4000 horsemen,
including Indians and cowboys. It was
a most wonderful race. The prize lot
was reached simultaneously by a Chero
kee Indian and Parks a Kansas cowboy.
These two will ride the same horses
again tomorrow for the purpose of de
ciding the race, and, as the distance is
four miles, it promises to be very ex
citing. .
Taken Under Advisement.
San Fkancisco, Sept. 15. Attorney
Pierson closed his argument in the Ezeta
case at noon today, and the case was
then submitted. Judge Morrow said he
would like to give an immediate decision
but owing to the gravity of the proceed
ings, and as a case like this has never
before happened, he would have to take
it under aflvisement. There had, he said,
never been an instance since the records
of law proceedings had been kept, where
an attempt had been made to extradite
representatives of a government for acts
committed in opposing a revolution.
He promised a decision as soon as pos
sible, probable next week.
More Condemnation of
Shanghai, Sept. 15. Leading China
men complain bitterly of the manner in
which the war is being conducted.
They specially condemn Viceroy Li
Hung Chang, who, they declare, has
made China lose caste. The navy, they
say, remains idle and the army is of no
use. Certain prominent officials are sup
posed to keep a number of soldiers in
regular training for war, and it is now
declared they make up their quota of
men by enlisting coolies, who will not
submit to discipline and cannot endure
the hardships of troops in service.
In the Thousands.
Cincinnati, Sept. 15. The papers have
returns from all precincts in the Ash
land district that can be reached tonight.
The Enquirer puts Owens' plurality at
1025, and the Commercial Gazette at
1150. Owens' pluralities are Scott, 1200 ;
Oldham, 1400; Woodward, 100; Frank
lin, 520, and Breckinridgea are: Fay
ette, 205; Bourbon, 152; Heny, 463.
Settle has a majority of 16 in his county
over both, but it is the only county he
carries and does not affect the result.
Will Support the Nominee.
Lexington, Sept. 15. Colonel Breck
inridge late tonight declared that he
would support the nominee as a loyal
democrat, adding :
"Neither I nor my friends will oppose
W. C. Owens betore the people. I have
always been a democrat, and I shall not
allow this defeat to affect in any way my
duty to the party and the principles 1
love." '- - - '
Was Madeline There?
Lexington, Sept. 15. It was rumored
on the streets here that Madeline Pol
lard had arrived in the city and that
should Breckinridge win the nomination
she would attempt to take his life. A
hurried search failed to find her, though
a gentleman declared she came over the
Queen & Crescent road, going north, at
2:30, and rode into the city in a cab.

The Courier Journal's Figures.

3407 ; giving Owens the nomination by a
plurality of 415.
The Modern Canal Boat.
A single barge on a canal brought up
to modern requirements will carry as
much cargo as a train consisting1 of
forty cars. The dead weight of the
load to be moved, that is, of the barge
or truck, is very considerably in favor
of the barge; the same amount of
power applied in traction will move
five times the load on a waterway that
it will on a railway; the original cost
of construction and maintenance of a
canal is considerably less than that of
the railway. On the great lakes traffic
is conveyed at a cost of .015 cent per
ton mile; by rail the expense of con
veyance inclusive of charges due to
maintenance of way, is ten times as
great as on the lake steamboats. The
average cost of moving a ton of freight
a mile on the railroads of the United
States is .522 cent. The average freight
by water on the Erie canal and Hud'
son river, where the towing is prin
cipally done by horses in boats of
a small capacity, is .233 cent per ton
mile.

A certain Mr. Robert Paull has
written Lord Rosebery that be can write
poetry "with such rare facility" that he
can undertake to give royal marriages
and christenings precedence over his
country orders," and yet attend
punctually to the same. He wants to
be poet laureate.
