DAXVILLK. ILL., Sept. 10.?Speak? er Joseph G. Cannon, of the national House of Representatives, opening his campaign for re-election to Con? gress from the Eighteenth district of Illinois, tonight delivered a speech dealing with the .leading issues of the national campaign, devoting con? siderable attention to William J. Bryan, and to Samuel Gompers. The speech In part took the form of a re? ply to Mr. Gompers1 attack on Mr Cannon made in Danville on Laboi Day. Mr. Cannon said the two para mount issues in this campaign were, the tariff and the Integrity and in? dependence of the judiciary. M.1% Cannon took up the history of the demand for anti-injunction legislation and pointed out that the demand for a jury trial in contempt proceedings came first after the punishment of Eugene V. Debs, now candidate for President on the Socialist ticket, hut in 1894 the leader of the railroad strike. Democrats Had the Opportunity. Mr. Cannon pointed out that In 1894 the Democrats might have pass? ed such an anti-injunction law; that they controlled both Houses and had a Democratic President; that Mr. Bryan was a member of that Con? gress, but he was silent regarding in? junctions by a Federal court, although a court in I-ouisiana had at that time decided that labor organizations were amenable to the Sherman anti trust law. "Mr. Gompers, complains." said Speaker Cannon, "that the Supreme Court of the United States has placed a new Interpretation on the Sherman anti-trust law in the decision of the Danbury Hatters case. "Mr. Gompers is mistaken. The Hatters case was a oomplaint against an interstate boycott. The romp mint was against the boycott, as a re? straint of interstate commerce and in defiance of the Sherman law. The case was decided on that ground and the opinion of the Supreme Court sus? tained the decision of the lower court on that ground. Wouldn't Let Gompers Boas Him. "On Labor Day. Mr. Gompers ad? dressed the citiz-ns of Danville. I am informed that he paid his re? spects to me The offense that brings me under his condemnation Is that, as sr representative in Congress and speaker of the House. I have reins ed to take orders from him sml to agree to s scheme of legislation which would make one law for one set of American citizens and another law for all other American citizens.' Mr. Cannon asked what the Demo? cratic party had done for labor. He ?sfriid that of the many statutes for The benefit of labor the great majori? ty had been passed when the Itepub llcsns were in control. "Labor laws are most efficient in the states of the North and West, where Retrahlirans have heen in con? trol ami bast effective in the South where th' IXemorratic parly has hart tinolrpniert control for many years. |t is from the South that come the com plaints of convict labor comp-tins with free labor, or violation of the peonage laws, of lark of Law., for the protection of workers in mines and faclori'-s and of lone, honrs of la hoc wit hont regulation and also of child labor If the Demorraiic party should come into control of 'he Fed era! government.

Senator Tlllman of South Carolin? rarely ni?eU with any determined op position when he come? up for re? election every six yeara, but he tails with almost monotonous regularity in his efforts to Induce the South t aroiit ians to send a "me-too" colleague to keep him company In the upper dbam b*r of the National Congress. Kx-Governor John G. Evans has Just met his third and most disastrous de? feat for Wie United States Senate la the South Carolina primaries. While Senator Tillman did not enter actively Into the campaign, !t was well known that (he desired that Mr. Kvans ihoula be nominated. Mr. Evans hau ?Iways been a political protege of Senat?! Tlllman, and II was by vkMo of the support of the latter that Mr. Kvans was once governor of the State. Governor Evans' defeat at the hands of the Hon. E. D. Smith might well be attributed in large part to the (?wer of the press. Every morning paper In the 8tate was active urd re lentlesa In its opposition to Senator r hinau s candidate. It would seem us thoui'i ironical fakf delighted to coquet ?-P.*i John Cray Evans' senatorial aspirations.

This courageous counterblast In lie half of the circus comes from the Charlotte Observer, and many a read er will f'oi his blood ujarm in response to it: "Rlngling'x circus, the best ever seem in Charlotte. Is to visit several North Carolina po.nts this fall, hut not Charlotte, which iuu4t content it? self with Gentry's Dog and Pony Show. It is a wrong and cruelty to ih. peo? ple to fix the lice me tax on circuses so high ss to exclude them from a community." Norfolk Is also lurdewd with an excessive circus tax. The town woub; like to see the real thing In the shape of a circus agsin. When It does come, the Board of Control should serve no? tice that no parade will be allowed it more than half an hour late. WRii that regulation, and a reasonable tar? iff on the display, wc believe that certain amount of circus now and then if good for a place. They say that a circus takes money away. So it does: but it brings money in. also, for the people flock Into town from the surrounding country. The circus Is a gr?at American Institution and should not lie too harshly handled ?Norfolk landmark.

TH009LE CAUSED IT II WOIM Injurdd Man Has a Bullet In His Brain and Another In His Abdo man, While Henderson Made Good His Escape?Physicians Say That White Cannot Possibly Recover. In a duel, which took place on the county roa?| lead in*; from Phoebus ii? Vox Hill at 1:3(1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, George" While, a Phoebuji negro, was shot and mortally wound? ed by William Henderson, chief cooK; mi tin' Ocean View steamer, which lilies between Old Point aud Wil l (ought/ Spit. White was hurriedly removed to the Dixie Hospital, where it ana finiiiil that one bullet had entered his face just under the right eye and probably lodged jn the brain. Anoth? er ball entered the right side of th? man. just under his Inn?, and the phy? sicians b "a,..I shot, and it id believed bo is in hilling in or atotind Newport News. He did not return to the Ocean View steamer at his usual time at o'clock yesterday alter noon. The county authorities and the police officers are searching lot Henderson. The Real Shooting. According to .several jiersons who witnessed the duel between the two men. White and Henderson met on the county road, a few yards below Russell's store, just on tlw outskirts of Phoebus, at 1 o'clock and a quarrei ensued over a colored weman. Fi? nally Henderson and the woman started to leave White, when the lat? ter whipped out his revolver and opened fire on the man and woman Henderson, quickly turning around, jerked out a thirty-eight calibre r? volvcr from his hip pocket and be gan returning the shot. At the sec on.l crack of Henderson's revolve. White dropped to the 3ide of the road, his revolver falling near by him. Henderson did not fin- again, but instead started to run and in the, attendant excitement finally osca|?ed. The shooting was witnessed by a number of negroes and attracted a large crowd, as this section is thickly inhabited by negroes. Just why oth ers were not injured in the duel is a mystery. Without going to the assistance ll White, who was bleeding profusely and apparently dead, those who wit? nessed the shooting, sent n messen ger to Phoebus for Dr. Thomas H Massey. who responded quickly to th': call.

(By Associate,] Press). NEW YORK. Sept. 10?There were' developments with real aud import? ant bearing on values today compar? ed with the unsubstantial fabrics of tips and rumors, which have made up the Influences in the stock market, for some time past. The effect was to throw the market' Into a state of seeming unsettlement1 reflected in constant and feverisl' fluctuations and a final sharp break In prices. The most Influential inci? dents of the day were the decision" of a United States circuit court against the constitutionality of the commodities clause of the Hepburn law, the passing of American Loco motive dividend and a rise in call money rate to a higher figure thab' has been touched since eariy in j March. The ;harp upturn in cailj loan rates can hardly be attributed j to near approach of exhaustion of loanable funds, considering the bank I supplies of nearly f60,000,000 by laat J Saturday's statement of conditions. Stock market requirements due to the, feverish price movements of the day may have Induced some precipitate; bidding for funds. Remittances for redemption of New York revenue| bonds foiling due in London on No? vember 1, were factor in the strength of foreign exchange.
