THE WAR
Fokltloo af the Belligerent Powers No Battle

pjajrrelouls Maid to be Bombarded.

received direct from the seat of war. Up to
1 o'clock P. M. there had been no bloodshed.
STOPPING WiE DEMONSTRATIONS.

mation, requesting citizens of Paris to make
.so more war demonstrations.
NO ACT OF WAB YET COMMITTED.
Pams, July 18. Aooording to a statement
in La Liberte this morning, neither France
nor Prussia has yet issued a formal proclama
tion or committed a technical act of war.
lach power hesitates to be the aggressor.
La Libet te shows that both Count Benedetti
and Baron von Werther withdrew from their
respective posts of their own acoord,
and contradicts the report that passports had
, been sent to the Count de Solmes, the
' Charge d'Aifaires of the Prussian Legation,
who up to last night remained at the Embassy
in Paris.
I'EUSBIA NOT DESIROUS TO BEGIN THE WAB.
La Liberie looks on the fact as one of much
significance, and explains it as follows: The
Count de Solmes declares that his Govern
ment does not desire to begin the war; that
it does not wish to assume the responsibility,
and still relies on the wisdom and conciliatory
spirit of the Emperor. In accordance with
this view, the Prussian Charge admits that he
has been instructed not to ask for his pass
ports; but if the Court of the Tuileries
chooses to take the initiative and send him
bis pasnportSj he will consider the act as an
expulsion, and will withdraw with the entire
Legation. This situation cannot last long.
WAB PROCLAMATION EXPECTED BY THE CHAMBEB3.
The French Chambers expect to receive to
morrow the proclamation by the Emperor
declaring war, which, of coarse, will put an
eod to ail diplomatic delays.

v ill render the journal liable to suspension.

Corps Legislatif a supplemental credit in 18V0

provinces have appointed a committee to

Charles, is to command the troops of the
North.
PRUSSIAN ABMX MOVEMENTS.

nizing to aid France. The statement is un
founded. t -rSSSSSSSSSSSSSM I 11

THE PEKIN MASSACRE CONFIRMED.
St. Petersburg, July 17. Later and au
thentic advices from Tientsin by telegraph,
through Siberia, confirm the previous report
of the massacre of foreigners in China. The
outrages were committed on the 10th of
June. The natives set fire to arid destroyed
the French establishments, but left those of
the Germans untouched. The representa
tives of the foreign powers at Pekin had ad
dressed a joint note to the Chinese Govern
ment demanding the punishment of the
rieters and indemnity for the losses sus
tained. A Texas Editor Who Could Not Appre
ciate a Clean Shibt. Whenever anybody
does anything particularly absurd he is im
mediately located in Texas, and if - some per
son wishes to perpetrate a joke, as to whose
excellence he is somewhat In doubt, he
ascribes it to a Texas editor, thereby clearing
his own skirts of all responsibility in the pre
mises. The Texas editor is made to suffer in
various ways, and be is accordingly a most
convenient creature. "Editors," we are told,
for instance, by some exceedingly droll
writer, "have a first-rate time in Texas. The
ladies of a town out there have given to the
editor of the paper an embroidered shirt
which contains a pictorial history of
Texas, including the war with Mexico,
and meeting of the first Legislature, and
also pictures of the fruits and cereals of
the State, all worked in red and worsted. The
editor never wore a shirt in his life, and he
thought it was a banner for the temperance
procession which was to come off the next
week. So he made a little speeoh of thanks,
in which he said he would "fling it out for
ever to the breezes of heaven, that they
might kiss its folds, and that, until his hand
palsied, it should never be trailed in the dust
never!" The ladies didn't understand him;
and when be talked about its trailing they
blushed, and said they were sorry they made
it too long. But a committee man took the
editor aside and explained the shirt to him in
a whisper, and the next day he appeared at
the office with that shirt mounted over his
coat and wrote four columns of explanation
for his paper. The shirt is much admired
by the boys of the town, and whenever the
editor goes out for a walk they follow him in
regiments, studying the history of Texas and
the fine arts off the back of it.
