From this the Foreign Office argues that the Chinese government is already cowed by the International success at Taku and Tlen-Tsln.

C, Aug. 1. The Indica tions are to-night that the Democrats will carry the State at to-morrow's election by more than 40,000 majority for both the state ticket and the constitutional amendment. The Legislature, It is claimed, will also be Democratic by a good majority. It is the opinion of the conservative men that the election will pass off peacefully, but it is possible that in counties where the vote on the legislative ticket is expected to be close trouble may result. In this instance serious consequences may follow, as both sides are said to be prepared for any emer gency. The Republicans and Populists, who nave joined forces on a fusion ticket, make no claims. It Is claimed there is no cnance for them to elect more than forty members of the House and ten members of the Sen ate. Chairman Simmons, of the Democratic committee, says his rarty will win the greatest victory in the State since the war. White Allies Denounced. RALEIGH, N. C., Aug. 1. Hon. F. M. Simmons, chairman of the Democratic slate committee said to-night: "The great battle for white supremacy in North caro Una has been fought, and In less than twenty-four hours we shall know the re sult. We are ready for the ballots. The Indications are that ve shall poll the big gest vote ever polled In the State. The Aycock ticket will be elected, and the amendment will be adopted by the largest majority ever given in this State since the war, and we shall have a large major ity in both branches of the Legislature. There is no animosity on the part of the Democrats toward the negro. We simply want him to know and intend he shall know his place. If his miserable white allies, who seek to use him to ride Into office, would let him alone, he and the white people would get along well enough together. Our majority will be such an overwhelming verdict of the white people ot the State In favor of eliminating the ignorant and vicious negro vote that this race question will forever hereafter be re garded as a settled question' in North Carolina."

The King and Queen of Italv arrived here this evening. In the midst of a touching demonstration of welcome to King Victor Emmanuel two strang ers cried "Viva 1 Anarchia." They were arrested, and narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of the furious crowd. The King and .Queen Helena arrived at Rome this morning, and proceeded here at once. An Elberfeld dispatch announces the ar rest there of Gulseppe Bernardl, accused of declaring that Emperor William's turn to be assassinated would come next. He denied the charge, but Is believed to be an Anarchist. ROME, Aug. 1. In the course of his ex amination yesterday Brescl did not deny that he had been designated to assassinate King Humbert. It is now believed here that the crime was arranged In Paterson, N. J. A man named Salvatoro Quintavalll, who returned from the United States with Bresci and accompanied him to an An archist meeting In Paris, has been arrested at the Rio Marina, on the island of Elba. The police found on him letters and photographs of Anarchists. When arrested a large crowd tried to take him from the of ficers to lynch him He was taken to prison with great difficulty. Anton Lanner, who accompanied Brescl from the United States, has been arrested at Ivrea. In consequence of these arrests the belief in the existence of a plot is In creasing. Bresci's brother, who is a lieutenant . In the Italian army, stigmatizes the crime as the most cowardly act of the century. He has had no news of his brother for a long time, and thought he was still In the United States. Paliament has been summoned to meet Aug. 6.. It Is stated that Queen Margherita will retire to Streia to live with her mother. Great excitement is reported at Milan. The troops are in readiness at their bar racks to prevent a disturbance. A score of prominent Anarchists have been arrested. The police are active, and other arrests are expected. The ministers have unanimously decided that the body of King Humbert shall rest in Rome. Fifteen thousand troops will pay the last honors. MRS. DRESCI DESTITUTE. Under Police Surveillance Pendln Developments in Italy. NEW YORK, Aug. l.-Captaln Usher, of the Hoboken police, said to-day that Mrs. Bresci, wife of the assassin of King Humbert, was in such a nervous condition that Ehe had gone to the house of a friend for rest. The woman Is destitute. She still tries to hope that the man arrested In Italy Is , not her husband, but she admits that there Is little reason for her hopes. She will be kept under police surveillance pend ing developments in her husband s case. According to cable dispatches from Milan, letters found in the pockets of Bresci. King Humbert s assassin, were signed "Fabrls and had been sent from Paterson, N. J. These letters, it is stated, showed that a plot existed to assassinate King Humbert. The only Fabris that can be found in Paterson is the Itev. Dr. irancls Kabrls, pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Vic tories. Father Fabrls, when questioned to day, said he did not . remember the man Brescl, and that he certainly never had written any letters to him. Neither the police nor the county au thorities at I'aterson, Is. J., have received official information of the assassination of King Humbert of Italy by Gaetano Bresci, nor have they been asked to investigate the stories that the plot to take the King's life was hatched at Paterson. Prosecutor Eraley said: "So far as this office Is concerned nothing has been done and no evidence has been presented to me that any crime over which I have jurisdiction has been com mitted. There may be Anarchists In this city, but the mere fact that a man is an Anarchist does not constitute a crime un der our law. If any of these men over stepped the bounds, however, I am prepared to act at once, and I have no doubt that the next grand jury would attend to them." Captain Usher, of the West Hoboken po lice, to-night notified Overseer of the Poor Hewett to look after the woman who is supposed to be the wife of Assassin Brescl. Captain Usher says he expects to hear from the Italian consul general at any moment receiving definite information as to whether Bresci, the assassin, is really the husband of the woman. ANARCHISTS REJOICE. Hold a Meeting of Jubilation in the Pennsylvania Mountains. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. l.A special to the Commercial Gazette from Yohoghany, Pa., says: To-night, at the mouth of an abandoned mine near Shaner Station, on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, quite a large gathering of Anarchists met to exult over the killing of King Humbert. The meeting was in charge of G. Ciancabilla, editor of L'Aurora, the Anarchist newspa per of Hoboken, N. J who spoke for an hour, rousing his hearers to a high pitch of rejoicing. Ciancabilla disclaimed all knowledge of Bresci's mission to .Italy, but heartily approved the result. He says it was not a plot In which the Anarchists were concerned.

BETTERED HIS CASE

POWERS MA HE A CiOOD "WITNESS Iff HIS OW IIEHALF. Closed HIn Testimony After Being Fifteen Hour on the Stand. He bntUng 31r.ny Adverse Points ARRESTED ON PERJURY CHARGE O.XE OF THE PROSECUTION'S STAR WITNESSES IS IN JAIL Golden Testifies In Cro-Exam!na-tlon anil ills Brother-ln-Larr Causes a Mild Sensation GEORGETOWN, Ky., Aug. l.-The Tow ers trial dragged its weary length through another day, the testimony of the defend ant himself being concluded. It was generally conceded that while some of the admissions made by him were in a degree damaging he made upon the whole a most excellent witness, the prosecution falling to tangle him on cross-examination. The Rev. John Stamper, the brothcr-ln-law of Wharton Golden, and whose testimony the defense hopes to contradict, was introduced following Powers and created something of a sensation on cross-ex umlnatlon by admitting that he as .Powers' friend, sought to get Golden to' lave the State and indirectly offered him $5,000. Stamper was still on the stand when tho court adjourned. George F. Weaver, the alleged Coloradowitness for the prosecution, who developed, into a "know it all," languishes in jail tonight on a warrant charging him with perjury. The warrant was sworn out by the attorneys for the defense, who say that they have found out that Weaver was not only not in Frankfort the day of the assassination, but was never there till last Saturday night. It developed here to-day that Ex-Gover nor Taylor, although he Is not before the court at Georgetown, is represented by counsel there. James A. Violett, of this city, is attending the trial to keep up with the evidence as it bears on Governor Taylor's case. The defendant, Caleb Powers, resumed the stand at 9 o'clock this morning, this Deft Ing his third day In the witness box. II was subjected to .a rigid cross-examination regarding the organization of the mountain eer army. He said that Governor Taylor and himself were the primary Fplrlts In get ting it up. The military companies wer brought along, he said, because they, having some discipline, could be more easily controlled and, moreover, they were already armed. The witness said he had urged Governor Taylor, while the contest board 'was sitting. to call out the military companies and tu send the bulk of the other mountain peo ple home, and had secured a partial prom ise rrom the uovernor to do it. .This was to be done in order that they might hold possession of the State offices till the Supreme Court of the United States passed on the merits of the case. The witness contradicted the statement of John A. Black, the banker and Republican leader of Barboursville, who swore that Powers, when discussing the mountaineer excursion to Frankfort, referred to it as a mob. Powers tays Black eo referred to it but that he told Black he would do all he could to keep it from degenerating Into an organization of that character. At the afternoon session Colonel Camp bell Interrogated the witness regarding his filght under military escort to evade arrest after the Issuance of the warrant March 10. Powers repeated that he was afraid he could not get a fair trial on account of political prejudice and also because of the $100,000 reward fund. Colonel Campbell said: "Mr. Powers, do you not know that of the $100,000 fund appropriated the sum of J'JS.D'J remains in the hands of the commissioner unused?" The witness said he had no knowledge of this point. The witness also cited various instances of what he construed as hostile demonstrations on the part of the Ieople of Frankfort toward him. which increased his apprehensions as to his safety there and his unwillingness to be tried before a Franklin county jury. The cross-examination was concluded at 2:10 and the defense was evidently satisfied with the result as they retired the witness without putting on redirect examination. Powers then quit the witness box where he had been since 10 o'clock Monday morning or a total of over fifteen hours. The defense then called F. Wharton Golden, whom they announced they desired to interrogate for the purpose of laying the foundation for a contradiction. He was saked concerning an alleged conversation with a Lexington newspaper man. but denied that he ever made the statements attributed to him. The Rev. John Stamper, Golden's brother-In-iaw, was the next witness. He was asked among other questions whether Golden had told him that he was to get money for the confession 'he made. The prosecution objected to. the consistency of the question and Colonel Hendrick made a long argument showing that the substantive fact must first be shown before evidence of this character could be introduced. Judge Sims, of the defense, made an -argument In reply. The court ruled that the testimony was competent, and Stamper said that Golden made a remark In substance that he was to get $5.0o0. He also gave affirmative answers regarding other alleged conversations with Golden in which the latter is claimed to have said he was "to be paid $2.500 for each conviction." On cross-examination Colonel Hendrick asked the witness If he did not have a talk with L. F. Sinclair, of the defense, and after that If he did not tell Golden that he could get $5.(K"0 If he would leave the State and not testify. The witness replied that he did say to Golden, that he believed he could get those fellows to give him $5,GiK) If he would leave the State. He said he had nobody in particular in rnlnd when he referred to "those fellows." "Would you have been willing to have given him $3,o0 to leave the State and not testify?" asked Colonel Hendricks of the prosecution. ' The witness hesitated, and thn said: "Yes. ir, I gueH I would." The witness denied that he got anything for testifying, and denied that his relations with Golden are now unfriendly. Colonel Hendricks insisted that the witness tell him from whom he expected to get the $3.(K) to pay Golden to leave the State but the witness gave no direct answer. He admitted that he had conferred with the defendant in Jail here frequently. While this matter was still under investigation the court adjourned until 9 o'clock tomorrow. Destitution In Tesas.
