. Atlanta, Gs., Oot. 4.
THE state election occurred in
George yesterday to elect a gov
ernor sod state officers and full
legislature, which elect a sena
tor in November. Two years ago the
RtHte went Demooratio for Governor by
71,000 majority for A. J. Nortben over
W. L. Peck, the Populist nominee. W.
Y. AtkinBon is tbe Demooratio candi
date for governor this year, and J. K.
Hlnes tbe Popnlist nominee. Tbe
election has been closely contested for
the last two months, and the indica
tions are that tbe state has polled an
unusually full vote, larger than two
years ago.
There are 137 counties in Georgia,
and returns are coining in slowly, but
there seems to be no doubt that Atkin
son's majority for governor will be be
tween 30,000 and 00.000. Tbe Populists
have made considerable gains in the
legislature, but not enough to in any
way affect the Demooratio control of
either the senate or tbe house.
Later reports from all over Georgia
sbow that the Populists have made
gains In almost every county in the
state, and that tbe Democratic major
ity will probably not be more that 30,
000. Of the one hundred and seventy-five
members of the house elected, about
sixty are Populists, and of the forty
four members of tbe senate are seven
Populists and one Republican. Several
of tbe strongest Dmocratio eonnties
in the state have been carried by tbe
Populists, and with but few exceptions
every county in tbe state shows Popu
list gains.
Speaker Crisps district gives the
largest Demooratio majority of any
district in the state.

DEFENSE OF JAMES.
In His Depositions the Actor Gives a
Peculiar Story of Life with
Marie Wainwright.
New York Oct. 4 Louis James, the
actor, who was sued for absolute di
vorce in the supreme court by Marie
Wainright. tbe actress, on account of
his marriage over a year ago to Miss
Hendricks, also an actress, which suit
was dismissed yesterday because of tbe
failure of Miss Wainright to appear to
prosecute it, was examined in anticipa
tion of the trial, but witb the dismissal
of tbe complaint his deposition will not
be used.
Mr. James, in bis depositions, states
that ho has known Miss Wainwright
about fifteen years. He met her first
in Boston, where they were both play
ing in tbe same company. They began
to live together in the ' summer
of 1S79, and from that time on
she used his - name, and they
registered at different hotels as
man and wife. Her husband, whose
name was Henrv Slaughter, was living
at that time. He died in 1882. Mr.
James says that after the death of her
busband he suggested to her tbe ad
visability of a ceremonial marriage
being performed, which sbe objected
to, declaring that she did not propose
to tie herself down to another man and
that they could both do as they
pleased.
They lived together in this way un
til 1888. While the company was in
Louisville daring that year, tbe actor
says that be accused Miss Wainright
with being on too familiar terms with
one of the members of the eompany
whom he immediately discharged.
When they came to New York
they separated. He deolares most
emphatically that there never was a
ceremonial marriage between tbem.
Miss Wainwright declared on ber ex
amination, when the default was taken
In tbe case, that she was married to
James on March 14, 1882. She subse
quently changed this date to Deo. 14,

LbNDON. Oct. 4
THE British Cabinet council met
today, in obedlenoe to Tuesday's
summons. Most of the minis
ters were present. Sir Willintn
Harcourt, chancellor of tbe exchequer,
was absent. lne meeting lasted trom
noon until 1.30 p. m.
It was announced afterward, upon
authority, that tbe council, after dis
dnssing tbe state of affairs In China,
decided to send troops to that country,
in order to protect British interests. ,
It is probable tbat additional ships
will be sent to strengthen the fleet in
Chinese waters under tbe command of
Admiral Freemantle. It is also said
tbat in consequence of today's meeting
tbe British legation at Pekin will soon
be guarded by British blue jackets and
native Indian soldiers.
Shanghai, Oct. 4. The married offi
cials of tbe customs department of
Pekin are leaving tbat city with their
families, owing to the unsettled state
of affairs and the recent assault made
upon foreigners. The general anti
foreign feeling, whioh causes much un
easiness, continues at New-Cbwang
and Hankow.
Confidence has been partly restored
by the presence at Hankow of the
British gunboat Esk, thrse guns, 3G3
tons.eommanded by Lieutenant Arthur
H. D. Ravenblll.
London. Oct. 4. A dispatch from
Hankow snys as a consequence of tbe
nrgenc demands of the Imperial au
thorities the province has been denuded
of troops. Turbulent mobs have
demonstrated at several poiuts tbat
tbe authorities are powerless to check
tbem. Europeans are alarmed, and
the British consul has advised tbat
all women and children be sent
to Shanghai, which is considered tbe
safest place. This will be done as soon
as possible. I be men, with tbe traders
and officials, have formed a- volunteer
corps to proteot themselves. The Vice
roy fears tbat tbe mons will break out
in armed rebellion. He is having forti
fications thrown up at Woo-Cbang, on
tbe other side of the river, to be ready
in case an attack on the city Is at
tempted. CHINESE ABANDON KOREA.
The Times in an article on the war
in tbe east says tbat the Japanese pos
sess splendid marching powers. The
slowness oi their advance illustrates
the difficulties of the routs they are
following. At tbe present rate, if all
opposition vanishes, Moukden cannot
be reached betore October i'i at tbe
earliest. No Japanese naval movement
to tbe mouth of tbe Yalu River, where
a fljet might be required to
protect the Japanese troops cross
ing the estuary, has yet been
reported. It is thus elesr that tbe Chi
nese have completely abandoned Korea.
The Japanese advance into Manchuria
has not yet commenced. If, as stated,
troops have been landed on tbe north
east coast, they are probably intended
for police purposes to assist in the reor
ganization of Korea. No opposition on
tbe route to Aioakden is likely, but if
assured of provisions and ammunition
the Chinese might be expected to de
velop behind the walled defenses of
Moukden the lighting power with which
they have been credited. -Sbiuan-
Kiang, where tbe Japanese fleet has
been sighted, is an important strategic
point, and will be the most probable
place of disembarkation if an imme
diate dash on Pekin is intended. A
land to tbe south of the Pel-Ho river
would involve many difficulties on ac
count of tlio number of rivers that
wonld l:avo to bo crossed. On the other
hand, from Sbiuan-Kiang a good route
exists.
Li Hung Chang has recognized the
danger of a Japanese landing at tbe
latter place ana has sent o,uuu picked
troops thither. A Japanese advance
from Shiuan-Kiang would cut tbe best
line of communication betweek Pekin
and Moukden. A simultaneous move
ment on these two places wonld have a
definite atrategio relation. In view of
tbe military and official demoraliza
tion in Cbina, these operations would
have every chance of success, but tbe
lateness of the season alters tbe aspect
of affairs. The destination of tbe
force that sailed from Hiroshima can
not long remain nnknown, even if it is
Formosa.
JAPAN IS BOUND TO WIN.
In
an interview Mr. Sinclair,
ex-
British consul at Foo Chow, said that
with the exception of LI Hung Chang's
force anu the army of Manchnria,
Chinese forces are worthless, the pro
fession of arms being held in contempt.
Tbe organization is bad. Japan, in
Sinclair's opinion, is bound to win,
but defeat will not endanger tbe Man
cbu dynasty, and will probably compel
China to look to Europe for tbe lessons
she needs.
A dispatshto the Times from Shang
hai today states that according to Chi
nese reports there was no pitobed bat
tle fought at Ping-Yang, Korea. The
Chinese there according to thess stories
only numbered 12,000 men and they
were greatly outnumbered by the Jap
anese troops. Tbe Chinese general,
Yeh, it is also said, was prostrated
with dysentery and withdrew bis whole
force.. General Wei, the Chinese say,
did the same thing, leaving only Gen
eral Tea's force of 2,800 men to fight
against overwhelming odds until all
were killed with the exception of 800,
who were taken prisoners. Nothing is
known at Shanghai in regard to the re
ported insurrections and mutinies on
the part of Chinese troops.
A dispatch from Shanghai says that
native vessels arriving at tbat place
from Niog-Po reported that five Japa
nese warships are lying off tbe Chosan
Islands, fifty miles from Ning-Po.
They add tbat the Japanese warships
have no transports with tbem. Tbe
presence- of tbe Japanese ships near
Ning-Po has caused a scare at tbe last
mentioned port, as tbe few Chinese
warships on tbe coast are obsolete and
almost worthless.
Berlin. Oct 3 The Frankfort Zeit-
ung says tbat tbe Chinese minister In
London has proposed to tbe British
government tbat Russia, ureal tin tain
and France send troops to the treaty
ports of China in order to protect the
interests of foreigners residing there.
Tbe minister is said to bave assured
the government of Great Britain that
China would raise nootjsotion to such
a course,

tary Herbert said today when asked
about tbe steps be had taken for tbe
safety of Americans in China tbat
about two weeks ago he bad sent writ
ten instructions to Admiral Carpenter,
commanding tbe American forces in
Chinese waters, suggesting to him that

Washington, Oct. 4
APTAIN H. W. HOWGATE, the
defaulting officer of tbe weather
bureau, who was arrested in
New York last week, arrived in
Washington this afternoon at 4 S30. He
was in tbe custody of ex-Sheriff Drum

United States marshal's office at New
York.
Tbe trio walked rapidly through the
station to a carriage in waiting and
were driven at onee to the United
States marshal's office. Upon their ar
rival there Deputy Bostwiok formally
surrendered his prisoner to Deputy
Marshal Robinson, taking a receipt
therefor.
When Captain Howeate stepped into
the adjoining room, a tall stately young
lady arose and stepped toward bim.

Captain Uowgate shook the out

conversation with his daughter be was

others standing near, and chatted as
unconcernedly with Miss Howgate as
though their presence there was an

bright and cheerful and his appear

as being bent with age and bowed and
broken by disgrace. When told that
the prison van was waiting be arose,
kissed Miss Howgate tenderly and
strode quietly out of tbe room;
He was deeply Impressed by the
changes in the city's appearance since

He was then taken in charge by Cap

was permitted to remain in the outer
offioe long enough to say to the little
group of newspaper men tbat he was
not ready as yet to talk for publication.
He intimated that a few days latsr he
might do so, but politely begged to be
excused from being interviewed at this
time.
Captain Howgate wat placed in cell
