Details of the assault on United
States Vice Consul Williamson at
Dalny, Manchuria, by Japanese on
December 21t. briefly reported to

Mr. Williamson, accor ling to the
advi-es, went to inspect the flsh mar
ket recently opened hy Japanese at
Dalny and wag on a high stand
watching an auction sale when a
number of Japanese and Chinese fish
mongers pushed into the market.
Mr. WilMumson was almost pushed
off Mto stand.
He was straightening himself up
In the crush when several Japanese,
including the secretary and a clerk
of the market, it is said, began
•-■cnldlng him for being there and at
the same time pushing tiheir way to
ward him and seizing him by the
Tins an! pulling him from the
stand Mr Williamson asked why it
"as wrong.for him to watch the sale,

case him a reason.
Then the Japanese rushed at him.
He PUS 1 I'd one of ’hem over in fieif-

He Warns Deiiun'rats Tl»at Hryan i»
Still a Power in the Party and
Still a Fat tor.
A Washington dispatch says Dem
ocratic senators and representatives
who attended the Jackson day ban
quet in Baltimore were discussing
with unusiul interest Thursday th >
significance of a warning note which
came from former Representat! vu
Theodore Hell, of California, recog
nized as the representative of W'l-
liam Jennings Hryan.
Mr. Hell did not attempt to start
a Hryan boom; in fact, he eliminated
the Nebraskan from any further con
sideration as the Democratic nomi
nee either in 1912 or any succeeding
presidential year.
"Fate undoubtedly has decreed,"
he eaid, "that Mr. Bryan shall not be
nominated a fourth time and that
he shall never he elected president
of the United States."
Hut Mr. Hell warned hla hearers
that if they were seeking a harmony
which might bring al>out future
Democratic success, they must not
continue a policy' which omitted Mr.
Hryan from consideration as a lead
er in the party councils. Mr. Hell
declared that the affections of mil
lions still were centered on Hryan
and that hi; views must be given the
most serious considerar on.
Previous to his references to Mr.
Hryan, Mr Hell had taken oi' sion
to jray a high tribute to Champ Clark
as a man in whom the middle and
the far west had implicit confidence
He did not go so far as to name Mr.
1 H’ark for i he presidency, but by

Neither being able to furnish the
Ja.flOO ball demanded of each, J. C.
Masters and I. C. Sibley, arrested in
Jackson, Miss., for using the mails to
defraud, in connection with a con
cern they were promoting, called the
Albemarle Development company.
Albemarle, N. C., have been remand
ed to jail, at Jackson, to await re
moval to the jurisdiction oT the
United States court for the western
district of North Carolina—all of
which, says the Columbia Record, is
interesting to a number of Colum
bians, several blocks to Albemarle
stock having been placed in this city
by a plausible young man, giving his
name as H. I) Langdale.
The Record says it was in fact a
former Columbian, now manager of
a news bureau in the Southwest, .inn
a firm of Columbia photographers,
that first suspected the promoters of
the Albemarle concern of fraud. At
t.he request of the news bureau man
ager, newspaper men here consulted
the photO-Taphers and learned that
Langdale had soid to them—or rath
