CHAIRMAN JONES TALKS Democrats Advised to Take Pre? cautions Against Electfbn Frauds. The I'm ly Intends to Reap the Fruits of Their Victory?Dishonesty Will bo Mot by Effective Mcthoda. (By Telegraph to Virginian-Pilot.) Chicago, Oct. 31.?Senator. Jones, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, .speaking of Croker's recent suggestion that "Democratic voters congregate about the polling places on the evening of election day, count noses and then, If the election returns for Bryan do not tnlly with their count, go into tho polling places and throw those fellows In charge of the returns into the street." said: "I don't see anything wrong with that suggestion. "Senator Hill, I believe, suggested a baseball bat as being peculiarly appro? priate to render justice to a corrupt election judge. In my opinion, the best way is for Democrats to be at the polls when they are opened and .to remain there in good, strong relays until the count is completed. It should be the duty of these Democrats to watch the judges tind count and to see to it that no fraud is committed, and If fraud Is attempted to stop it then and there. "The Democratic party is opposed to Violence, but tit the same time 1 feel warranted in .saying that the Demo? crats fully intend to reap the fruits of their victory. If intimidation is at? tempted at the polls or fraudulent count inn tried by election judges, there will be Democrats in . the vicinity ready to take just such action as may be necessary to stop it. "There will bo neither intimidation ::t the polls, ballot box stuffing nor fraud? ulent counting this year. If either is attempted it will be slopped there and then. And if any one gets hurt in this process of prevention l hope it will not be the honest man who Is doing bis duty fairly and well. The Democrats have made an honest campaign. We have appealed to the hearts nnd heads of the American pebble. We have won the light and by heaven we will not be defrauded out of our victory by the chicanery of election Judges. If our Republican friends will be honest there will be no trouble, but intimidation at the polls or attempted dishonesty in the counts will be met by such me? thods as may be necessary and entirely effective." DID CLEVELAND TALK 7 PHILADELPHIA TIMES INFORM? ANT SWEARS HE DID. (By Telegraph to Virginian-Pilot.) Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. III.?The Times to-day says editorially: "Mr. Cleveland's emphatic denial of the interview on the political situation, published in this journal yesterday morning, is accepted as conclusive. "The Times owes it to tself and to Its large circle of readers to say that it was not In any measure a party to the publication of the Interview, beyond accepting it from the nutlior, who was highly accredited. THE AUTHOR. "The Cleveland interview was brought to the Times olllce at a late hour on Monday night by Mr. J. It. Black, a resident of Iowa. He had letters of recommendation from J. Sterling Morton, a member of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet, and from other close friends of the ex-President. He stated that he bad come directly from a visit to Mr. Cleveland; had discussed the political situation fully with him, und had carefully taken down Mr. Cleveland's utterances. Thus accredit? ed nnd at an hour too late to verify the Interview, the editor in charge, fully convinced that no imposition was intended, prominently published the in? terview, as it was highly Important if true. "We sincerely regret the publication. No political Interest would weigh for a moment with this journal in favor of the publicity of such political news, and we make tho correcton as distinct? ly nnd conspicuously as Is possible, not only in justice to Mr. Cleveland, but in justice to public Journalism. BLACK'S AFFIDAVIT. "As soon as Mr. Black, WhOS.0 initials wore signed to this dispatch, heard yesterday afternoon that Mr. Cleve? land had denied the Interview, be vol? untarily came to the Time;; olllce and made the following affidavit: "Philadelphia, Oct. .10, 1900.

(By Telegraph to Virginian-Pilot.) London, Oct. 31.? The Marquis of Lunsdowne's elevation to tho Foreign Secretnryshlp, according to the an? nouncements in the newspapers this morning, has, figuratively speaking, taken the country's breath away, it was its unexpected as It is unwelcom cd. Even the stnunchest ministerial mouth-pieces among the newspapers openly condemn it. Lord Salisbury apparently arranged matters with the Queen at Balmoral a week ago. His Lordship's own incli? nation wits to resign the premiership and devote himself exclusively to the Foreign Office. He wrote Her Majesty to this effect, but she declined to ac? cept the suggestions. Lord Salisbury, therefore, went to Halmoral to discuss the question, with tho result that the Queen carried her point. Public anxiety Is to some extent re? lieved by the conviction that Lord Salisbury's experience will still be available to dirclt the broad lines of policy of the prospective foreign Min? ister. If the Daily Telegraph's announce? ment had been a mere feeler to as? certain the temper of tho public to? ward Lord Lansdowne's appointment be would certainly never become Min? ister of Foreign Affairs; but although the appointment to the Secretaryship lias not yet been officially confirmed, it Is accepted on all sides as a set? tled thing. The Standard, which says It has learned that Lord Selborne, Under? secretary of State for tin- Colonies, and Mr. William St. John Brodrick, Under? secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, will enter llio Cabinet, and that Mr. Charles Thomson Ritchie, president of the Hoard of Trade, will be given a higher post, says: "The appointment of tho Marquis of Lnnsdowne to be Her Majesty's prin? cipal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, is an almost Inconceivable blunder. He has neither the character, qualifications, nor experience for such a post. The only plausible excuse for the appointment Is that Lord Salisbury will still control the Foreign Office, while Lord Lansdowne relieves him of his routine duties." ROW IN PARIS.

MISSIONARIES IN CHINA REV. A. M. CUNNINGHAM AND WIPE WILL RETURN. (By Telegraph to Virgin tan-Pilot.) New York. Oct. 31.?The Rev. Arthur J. Brown, one ot the secretaries of the Presbyterian Board' of Foreign Mis? sions, to-duy received a letter from David J. Hill, Assistant Secretary of State, which covers various points epn ne. ted with the present, status of the missionaries in China. Tho letter was written in connection witlt information that the Rev. A. M. Cunningham and wife. Miss Comities, at Pekln, were about to return to their post, and re? questing that the United States au? thorities in China be Informed of their purpose If. in the judgment <>f the de? partment, those authortles might inter? pose any objection to their return to the city. "The conditions governing access of foreigners to the non-treaty towns of the interior, including P- kin, nnd their sec urity there," Mr. Hill writes." "'will necessarily be considered In the nego? tiations for it definite settlement be? tween China and the Powers. While It would be premature to open an access to the Chinese interior for our citizens engaged In commercial or professional purposes, there would seem to be no objection to Mr. Cunningham's return. Tho United Slates forces at Tien Tsln and Pekln would doubtless afford him all the facilities for his return not In conflict with regulations which may have been adopted regarding t be re? turn of foreigners into the city. A copy of this correspondence will be sent to Minister Conger for his Infor? mation." Mr. Cunningham, who was In this country on furlough nt the time of the outbreak in t'liinn, recently applied for permission to return to his post. He is now in San Francisco, and with his wife will sail for China on Saturday. SOUTH AFRICAN WAR. MOVEMENTS OF BOERS?WILL NOT SURRENDER.
