In one of his speeches Gov. Wil son tells why the Progressives of all parties will have to look to the Dem ocracy for leadership, not only In New Jersey, but in the naton. Here ir. what he said: "I believe that both parties have been singularly slow in waking up to the meaning of a new age, and what 1 want to call your attention to is that a large proportion of the men now active in leading the Democratic party have waked up to the mean ing of the new time and have waked up, too, to those who are leading the Republican party. The facts speak lor themselves. The actual leaders of the Democratic party in the States which have put In a Democrtic ad ministration and In the nation at large, in congress and out of con gress, are the progressvies in the Democratic ranks. Can we candid men gainsay that? “It is not true that the progressive element of the Democratic party now dominates that party. Does not ev ery m^n know that if the circum stances should change and the retro gressive element should get In con trol of the Democratic partv that It would lose all possibility of success? That it would lose all the chances it apparently now has to lead the na tion? The Democratic party realizes that and the nation realizes it. “Very well, what Is true on the other side of the house? There are splendid men, and splendid men by the score, among those who stand prominent in the leadership of the' Republican party, who are just as progressive, Just as clear-sighted on the issues of the time as anybody on the Democratic side, bdt are they dominant in the councils of the Re publican party? Answer that ques tion frankly. Are they dominant in the councils of the Republican par ty In this State or in the nation? “You know very well that they are nqt.' They are practically with out dominance and they are opposed by leaders, from the President of the United States down. And for the present everybody knows that neith er now nor in the immediate future will they gain control. What is the moral of that? The moral is that the progressives of this countrv at this time—I am not saying anything as to the future, for I cannot forsee it —but the progressives of this coun try, in New Jersey and out of it, at this time, must look to the Demo cratic party for leaders.” ANOTHER FIEND LYNCHED.

LYNCHERS UNKNOWN SUCH IS THE VERDICT IN THE HOXKA PATH KILLING. A dainty little fan, dropped seem ingly by chance in fashionable hotel dining rooms in towns from the Pa cific to the Atlantic, waa the starting point In a series of little dramas which had their last curtain last week in Bridgeport, Conn., when nineteen-year-old Alice Black of Col orado ^prlngB and Francis A. Moh- ler, who says he Is the brother of a Pittsburg millionaire, were arrested. The young womam is charged with having passed forged checks and the man with having forged them. The girl says she believed the checks were good. Just how the fan was dropped was told in the local agency of the Pinkertons at No. 92 Liberty street. Early in September, in the Italian (gardens of the Hotel St. Charles in New Orleans, a young and exquisite ly gowned woinan was dining. At a table were three gJhLed youths of the Creole city. They were comment ing upon her beauty when her fan fell to tfie floor. Instantly one of the youths started to leave bis seat. The others siezed him and insisted In whispers that they must draw lots to see^ho would restore the fan. The one to whom the lot fell rais ed the fan and, with bis best bow, gave it to the girl. She smiled and. modestly casting down her eyes, ask ed if he wouldn’t sit down for a mo ment. He did. “You know,” said the girl, “ I feel that I am very unconvenient, but I'm such a globe trotter, you know, that I feel perfectly safe in doing this. I've beet) all over the world alone. I’m Alice Pullman, of Pittsburg.” The youth brought over his two companions to meet “Miss Alice Pull man, a neice of the Pullman car fam ily.” That was on a Saturday night. The following Monday "Alice Pull man” asked one of her new found friends if he knew of some “good, safe bank.” He knew of several. So he trotted her in the* Whitney- Orientl Bank and introduced her to Edward H. Keep, assistant cashier. “Mies Pullman” opened an account, depositing J50 cash and what pur-! ported to be a |150 certified check; on the Union Savings Bank of Pitts-1 burgh, signed by Harry Pullman. The next day she drew out her entire ac count. On the following day she return ed with another "Harry Pullman’’ check for $75 which she wanted cashed. The cashier told her he would waif until he had heard from the previous check. “You won’t have to wait long," he Mother of the. Fiend Refused to Take the Body, Which Was Debarred from the Cemetery. That Willie Jackson came to his death from gun shots at the hands of an unknown mob was the verdict ifeached by the coroiser’s Jury tat Houea Path on Wednesday. The horribly mutilated body was viewed by the jury and was cut down from the telphone pole by Coroner Beas ley. The mother of the fiend refus ed to take the body, saying she jrould not have anythin® to do with a son of hers that would (commit such,>4 crime. The negroes refused tjy al low the body to be interred In their burying grounds, so it was^burled at the expense of the comity on the home place of Melvin^ Ashley. Several fingers of the negro were severed for souyenirs during the night, and the fope, as it fell to the ground was'but in pieces and dis tributed among a large crowd that gathered to see him cut from the pole. Coroner Beasley and Sheriff King arrived on the scene at 9:30 d’eiock and after experiencing a lit tle trouble la getting a Jury willing to serve, the inquest v*as b r gun. The body was viewed and the jury then repaired to the office of Magis trate Wilson to hear the testimony. Five or six witnesses were examined, but It was Impossible to locate any person who admitted seeing the lynching 1 . Everybody In the com munity was reticent and the exam- nation of witnesses required only a short time. Sheriff King forwarded a short report from Honea Path to Governor Blease. In the report he referred the Governor to the news paper acounts, which the sheriff stat ed were correct In every particular as far as he could determine. Citizen Joseph Ashley was not a witness of the lynching and neither was his son, Joe Ashley. These men left the mob Wednesday with the negro before the crowd reached Hon ea Path. At Honea Path Mayor Sul livan pleaded that the law be allow ed to take its course. He read a tel egram he had received from Gove/n or Blease, asking that the mob al low the law to take its course, stat ing that he would obtain a special term of Court to try the negro with in two weeks. All of the pleading wa(S of no avail, ] however, for after taking the negro i before the little girl for a second identification, the epowd proceeded to the scene of attack and there he was stiuii* up by left foot.

Everything is quiet at Honea Path and no further demonstration will occur. One nofzro man was dealt with for making,an insulting remark to a gen tleman looking on the body Wednes day piorning.

The deputy was cn his way to the county jail with the negro, who had been given a commitment trial and bound over to the next grand jury. The officers was "overpowered and the prisoner taken from him. The negro admitted his ghilt and said he had no regrets. He attempted an assault upon one of the best known youm? ladies of Wilkinson county, who is still pros trated as the result of the shock. The negro had a bad reputation in the community. The body of the negro hung on the tree two days, until the sheriff ordered it removed. / REBELS KILLED IN FIGHT. to go home. ‘ My Infatuation for him lasted on- j iv a week.

The lo^s to the Government force is giv/n as less than a dozen killed. ^ Early reports were that Uie State troops met with little opposition, but It is now know that thp encounter was the fiercest since the beginnng of the insurrection.

After the flight fronv New Orleans news came of banks and hotels in Colorado Springs, Qol.; Ogden aijd Salt Lake City, Utah; Sacremento, Los Angeles, an<$ San Diega, Cal.; and El Paso, Texas, that had cashed checks after tfye prelude of a falling fan or like device. The checks rang ed from $6^ to $150 apiece. The total was several thousand- dollars. The Pinkertons took up the trail and traced the pair Eastward to Bridgeport, Conn. In the other cities wheriy the fan had been dropped the girl had seemed sometimes to blaze with diamonds. Especially noticea ble was a large hatpin in the shape of a tiger’s head, compose of imitation diamonds. Detective Fon of the Bridgeport police and two <?f the trailers saw a woman in Bridgeport wearing just such a pin. They fol lowed her to boarding house and there found her man companion. In one of their four suitcases, the police say, were blank checks of the Pittsburg bank and the stamp with which, checks had been “certified.” “Ohristy” or Mohler would not talk much about himself. He wrote a tel egram to Harry Mohler of Pitteburg, but the pojjce did not send It. The young woman at trst was si lent. But the police showe^hlfm' postal card, sent to Mohler bjf fei young woman, which showed MohT#r had paid attention to the %endef. Then the girl broke down and said she would tell all she knew. «• She said she was a graduate of the Cutler School, In Colorado Springs, and that she had planned to enter Colorado College this fall. She met “Christy” in July, and he told her that he was a West Point student on a furlough. He had struck a promi nent man kn New York and was in Colorado hiding from detectives. “I believed his romantic tales,” •old the girl, “and became foolishly infatuated with him. 'Before I real ised the foolishness of what I was doing he had induced me to leave, miy home. I was stricken with remorse, bst did not have the moral, courage throw off pursuit. She told of their journeyings through the West, in which they used six dicerent names. “I know this morning that he was planning to leave me, from the way he acted,” she said. “My family is not wealthy, but I have some wealthy relatives and if necessary I shall ask tjiem for assistance. I will not fight extradition but will return to New Orleans.” A teleirram from Colorado Springs said the girl, “and became foolishly said the girl had phased forged checks at two hotels there. Her fa ther is David Brown of that town. A Pittsburg dispatch said there was no wealthy Harry Mohler in Pitts burg. LOYAL TROOPS DESERT »— ■ / * * Chinese Military CouunMKler Is Kill ed by a Bomb, mpd the Rebels Are Killing and Burning, But .All For eigners Are Being Well Taken Care-of by Them. > > cablegram from Honkow, China, Auys the revolutionary forces have won a decisive victory, gaining pos-, session of the city of Wu Chang af ter a battle with loyal troops. It appears that the revolutionaries de feated In Sze Chuen province where they for some time beseiged the capi tal Cheng Tu, transferred their chief activities to Hu Peh province with the intention of making It the base tor renewed operations In Sze Chuen. Accordlni? to the officials, on up rising In Wu Chang was planned for last Monday night. The plot was discovered early that evening and 3 0 arrests were made. Desiring to ter rorize the revolutionaries, four/ of the prisoners were beheaded in the street. This drastic action of the authorities does not appear to have had the desired effect. Immediately after the execution a portion of the government artillery forces within the city mutinied, went over to the rebels and the uprising was precipitated. The capture of the city resulted from the tremendous feeling aroused by the execution of the four rebel*. The possession of Wu Chang. All the officials fled. The troops oeserted to the rebels and a few hours after the first trou ble developed the entire city was In an uproar. Fires were started in every corner of the town, the head quarters of the viceroy and of the military commander was killed by a dynamite bomb and the viceroy himself escaped only by has y flight. With the revolutionists in control of a great and Important capital, It is hard to estimale how fast or far the movement will spread. The of ficials are making every effort to keep the disaffection out of Hankow. Five foreign gunboats are stationed along the Yang Tse Kiang between the two cities and foreign volunteers are pattrollng the foreign quarter of Hankow. The revolutionary committee is sued a proclamation exhorting its followers not to harm the citizens of other countries. The fact that the wishes of the committee have been respected thus far while reassuring to other nations, is in itself a sinis ter sign for the government at Pe king, as it indicates that the rebel lious movement is thorouRnly,organ ized. Earlier outbreaks had assumed the character of rioting in which the mobs were soon worked out of the control of Intelligent leadership, thus making their defeat by the bet ter directed government troops com paratively easy. But this one Is dif ferent. The rel>el8 obey their lead ers, and seem to be under good dis cipline. Amon!? the foreigners known to have been In Wu Chang are twenty- fi-ve -Missionaries. Commonloatlun with the city is almost completely broken and no word as to the fate of the Americans had been received. Volunteers have surrounded the for eign quarter and will remain on duty during the night until the safety of all foreigners is secured. As Another measure of precaution the merchant vessels in the river are keeping steam up and women and children will be permitted to go aboard them at night. The forlegn consuls have telegraphed their gov ernments asking that warships be sent to the scene. American and Japanese cruisers arrived on Wed nesday. AID PUNNED POE COTTON BY B^UTHEHN GOVERNORS. X Governor Colquit, of Texas, Urges a Meeting to Devise Means to Ctieck Decline in Price. The decline in the price of coi^on is becoming a serious matter to The South as well as to the whole coun try. and something must be /lone to stop it, Qov. Colquit, of Texso, *111 probably ask the govern^ra pi- cotton growing states to/heet at Dal las, Tex., October 23, as his guests to suggest ways and means to hold up the price of cotton. / . In reply to telegrams, governors of every cotton-producing state ex cept Tennessee and Georrla have re plied that th<w favor a conference to discuss this matter and the ques tion of the place and time of meeting alone reni&lns to be settled. Only one governor has suggested Texas for a meeting place and hence tbe Idea comes to have the governors go to Texas as Governor Colquit’s guests. The secretaries of agricul ture are also expected to participate In the meeting. . *, In Indorsin'? the plan proposed by Governor Colquit, of Texae, to call a meeting of southern governors end "eprescntatlve men o f th© cotton belt to devise a method for checking the decline In the price of raw cotton. President W. B. Thompson, of the New Orleans Cotton exchange, eeid that the South should rally to the call. "The way the cotton producers of the south are now throwing tbe sta ple upon the market is commercial suicide,” said Mr. Thompson. “It Is by no means certain that the cotton crop will be as large es many have predicted it will be. A great deal can happen between now and tbe time the crop is harvested. “U Is a pity that cotton should be selling In the country for nine cents a pound. Because of the Increased cost of living the planter Is not re ceiving a penny more than he did several years ayo when cotton was six cents per pound. “I hope they will awaken to the situation that confronts them. If they will only hold back their cotton and let R go gradually, prices will Immediately begin to soar." FELL IN GOOD HAND0. Two Little Girls Were Left Alone la •v the City of New York.
