Representative Dockery, of tie

A dispatch from Washington says:
It is learned that the present Chinese
minister to this country will U relieved
from his mis-ion in the next month or
two and that his place will U tilled by
the appointment, most probably, of Mr.
Shui, formerly secretary of the legation
here and now holding a place under his
government in China. It is alleged as
for the reason of the change that the
emperor of China is much displeased
with the course of Mr. Tsin, the present
minister in his alleged transaction look
ing to the establishment of an interna
tional bank in China, and as a result of
Information sent from that country to
the Chinese officials, calling their atten
tion to publications in the paters recit
ing these facts, the emperor has ordered
an investigation into the matter.
The Senate, says the New York World,
has voted unanimously to investigate the
pmployment of Pinkertons at Home
stead. Republicans and Democrats
united in condemnation of this employ
ment of private armed men for a public
purpose ami all apparently agreed with
Mr. Hawley that the sending of these
persons to Homestead was either
blunder or crime."
It is evident that this blot upon our
civilization is doomed, and that soon it
will not x lawful anywhere within the
lorders of the Cnited States to employ
private citizens to keep the peace by force
of arms.
Such a conclusion, already reached in
several of the states, is in harmony with
several of the spirit of our institutions
and with our form of government. No
man should Ik? intrusted with the duty
of keeping the peace unless he is a duly
commissioned ofliccr sworn to obey the
laws and responsible for his conduct
to the it:ople whose agent he is.
Jvdoe Roisey, of the Supremo court
of New York, says the rmiaueipnia
Tinf", has decided that the Democratic
legislative apportionment of that state is
unconstitutional. He declares it void
because of its inequalities in the popula
tion of districts made for partisan ends,
although the inequalities in the New
York Democratic gerrymander don't
approac h tho inequalities of the Repub
lican legislative gerrymander in Penn
sylvania. The decision of Judge Rumsey will be
speedily carried to the general term of
the Supreme court and thence to the
vourt of appeals, and if the unconstitu
tionality of the apportionment shall It
athrmed, an ext.u session of the legisla
ture will he summoned, to enact a new
apportionment.
That the Democratic legislative appor
tionment of New York is in violation of
the clear spirit and even of the plain
letter of the Constitution, can't le doubt
ed. The direction of the New York Su
preme law is precisely the same ats the
command of the Pennsylvania Constitu
tion. Roth require legislative districts
to U equal in population "as war as
may be," and both the Democratic leg
islature of New York and the Republi
can legislature of Pennsylvania have
passed flagrantly unconstitutiona2ppor-
tionments.
We hope that the Democratic oourt of
appeals of New York will exhibit the
courage and intrcgity to devhvre the
truth by aliirming the dcx-isioti f Judge
Rumsey. It will not only end gerry
manders in New York but it will end
them in Pennsylvania. With tbe high
judicial example of honest courts in New
York and in the West, no Pennsylvania
court would stultify itself by giving judi
cial approval to such infamous partisan
gerrymanders as now disgrace of state.
The annual money loss from Strikes,
says the Philadelphia 1 It-cord, is greater
than the average yearly losses from Hoods
and shipwrecks. Some less expensive
wuy should le devised of settling quar
rels li'tween those who sell their labor
and those who buy it. There is, per
haps, something grand in the idea of
calling out an army to remedy the griev
ance of a single workingman or a group
of workingmen; but it is financially
ruinous, and therefore ineffectual. The
theory that the injury of one laboring
man is the concern of all. though it Iki
true, does not justify, in the attempt to
remedy the injury, a course of action
which would require greater sacrifice
upon the part of thousands than was
originally imposed upon a few jiersons.
Such a remedy is worse than the disease.
The outbreak at Homestead, for ex
ample, was brought on by a trifling cut
in the wages of a few persons. Before it
shall have been concluded, the pfcin of
Settlement involving a lockout, strikes,
riot, bloodshed, stoppage, litigation and
intervention of the military will have
cost more than one million dollars. The
fruitless Building Trades' strike just
ended in New York has cost $1.200,(Hi0.
It doesn't pay either the party that
succeeds or the one that loses. And the
loss inflicted incidentally upon the gen
eral public is so grievous, so irreparable
and so undeserved as to generate a con
tinually growing distrust of the capacity
of the Powderlys, Gomperses, O'Ponnells
and other professional leaders of labor
organizations for safe and prudent man
agement. They possibly mean well, but
they are overweighed with responsibilities
to which they are constantly showing
themselves unequal.
The New York Sun gives as the result
of a careful investigation some interest
ing facts regarding this year's wheat
crop throughout the world. The supply
furnished by the maturing crop is far
smaller than that of lS'.tl iu the United
States, and in other counties the average
will be about the same. The total out
turn of wheat in the United States will le
about 40,000,K0 bushels. In l'.'l it
was about M2,0(0,004 bushels, showing
a decrease this year of 132,000,000 bush
els, or about 20 per cent. The country
will eat S,000,000 bushels more this
year, thus making the exportable supply
14o,HH,0OO bushels less than that of
101.
India has a crop about 00,000,000
bushels Ulow that of last year; South
America's yield equals that of 1S91 as
will Australia's. The harvest of Italy,
Hungary, Spain and Portugal is from 10
to l." jKr cent. U Iow the production of
lsyl. In Great Britain the product will
be alout 10,000,000 bushels less than
last year. Russia, Frame and Belgium
will have larger trojs than last year.
America's crop, although far Udow last
year's yield, is alout the average product
based upon the harvest of the past twelve
vears.
Cai'Itai., says an exchange, takes good
care of itself. Monopoly is shrewd and
smart in securing protection to itself and
alisolute control of prices in the home
market, while it gives labor an affection
ate '"lick and a promise." Capital says,
"vote for your interests, no matter about
the question of justice, equality, right
and wrong. Vote for me and my accu
mulations, or I will reduce your wages
and squeeze you to the level of want,"
nnd in some instances labor, forgetting
its wonderful power of self-defense, has
in times past yielded its judgment to the
merciless extortioner, but in the coming
contest the tricks ami frauds of the wily
Schemers have been seen through and
their overturns will lie repudiated.
Pkesii.ent Ciiaincey F. Black,
through Secretary John D. Wormau,
has issued a call for a meeting of the
executive committee of the Democratic
Society of Pennsylvania-at the Bolton
house in Harrishurg on the loth day of
August, to fix the date for the fourth
annual assembly at Scranton.
A tekuii'.i.e cyclone passed over or

Washington Letter.
Washington. I. C. Aug. 0th,
A Democratic caucus of memtx'rs of the
House has the HUibustering on the
World's Fair appropriation, but as there
were several friends of the appropriation
and as many of its opponent who re
fused to be lound ami left the caucus, it
is by no means certain. The compro
mise" pjKjses to strike out the amend
ment to the Sundry civil appropriation
bill appropriating ..",(K'it,(M0 for the fair
and allowing a vote to be taken Saturday
afternoon on a separate bill appropriating
$2,300,000. The opicr.enis of theiap
propriation say they can defeat this
bill, but if they do it is predicted that
the Senate will" insist upon its amend
ment to the Sundry civil bill Wing con
curred in, and will refuse to allow ad
journment to take place. The whole
situation continues to le so full of "ifs"
that it is folly to attempt to say in ad
vance what will le the tin! result.
Southern Democrats regard the result
of the Alabama stau election as the death
of the People's party movement in the
South, so far as its controlling any elec
toral votes is coiiceiiK!, ami they think
it will also aid in keeping a numU r of
congressional districts Democratic that
might have elected People's party men
if that party had carried Alabama.
At this week's i-sbinet meeting the
question of when action should Ik? taken
under the recently enacted law, author
izing the president to retaliate upon
Canadian vessels, was discussed, but as
only the two Fosters and Attorney-General
Miller were present no definite con
clusion was arrived 1.
All sorts of sensational stories have
l.eeii current atout the disagreement of
the sub committee which went to Home
stead to investigate the strike in the Car
negie mills on the reiort written by
Chairman Gates There is nothing sen
sational idout the facts. Chairman
Dates pre Hired the report in the usual
manner, and when it was read to the
sub-committee every memler agreed
that it was a fair and impartial state
ment of what the committee had learned
at Homestead, but some of the conclu
sions arrived at concerning organized
labor were unsatisfactory to two Demo
crats and one Republican, making a
majority of the sub-committee, so the
report was rejected by the sub-committee
and referred to the full judiciary com
mittee for final action. If the full com
mittee sustains the nation of the sub
committee Mr. Dates says his rejort will
be submitted to the House as a minority
rejKjrt, and a new majority report will le
written by Representative Bynuni, one
of the dissenting Democrats.
Tom Watson, of Georgia, made a
miserable failure to prove Lis charge of
drunkenness against members of the
House. The only member he dared to
name was Judge Cobb, of Alabama, ami
against his assertion that he believed
him to have leen intoxicated when he
made a seech in the IIoue was the
positive statements of a score of promi
nent members that Mr. Cobb was not
even in the slightest way under the in
fluence of liquor when he made the
speech referred to. Watoon refused to
name any other memler to the investi
gating committee. What action the
committee will take is not at this time
known, but it is lelieved that a disin
clination to feed Watson's craving for
notoriety will prevent the committee
taking any action that would result in
allowing him to xse as a martyr. At
one time it looked like the sharp langu
age Itetween Representative Boatner, of
Louisiana, and Mr. Watson might re
sult in a personal encounter between
those gentlemen, outside of the commit
tee room, but so far jieace reigns.
After several prominent Republican
Senators, including Sherman and Haw
ley, had openly expresse.l their sympathy
for the Carnegie company, the Senate
adojitetl a resolution providing for an
investigation of the Homestead strike,
and the following Senators were named
as members of the committee: Gallin
ger, Peffer, llansbrough, Felton, Sand
ers, White and Hill. Some comment
has leen made because only two iJemo
crats were named for service on this
committee.
Attorney-General Miller is said to le
mad lecauso instead of giving him the
place on the bench of the Supreme
court which went to Mr. Shiras. as a
eace offering to Mr. Blaine, to whose
wife he is related, Mr. Harrison gave the
promise that he should have
the first vacancy that occurs during
his second term. Mr. Miller regards
the pro! lability of a second term as en
tirely too etherial to be satisfying, but
he does not openly kick against t:ie man
who brought him from obscurity to the
attorney-general's orficc.
A Mrang; Illness.
Pottptown, Pa., Aug. 8. The re
markable case of Mrs. W. A. Vanderslice
is puzzling the doctors of this place.
Saturday week Mrs. Vanderslice, who re
sides at Collegeville, came here to visit
her parents, who reside on Laurel street.
Dn the following Monday at 4 o'clock
Mrs. Vanderslice suddenly fainted, but
a doctor revived her and she was ap
jiearautly all right for several hours.
Just as she w;is aliout to retire she again
liecame unconscious, and it was thought
she was dead.
The doctor who was called pronounced
her alive, but could not bring her back
to consciousness. She lay apparently
without breathing until Wednesday,
when she rallied, sjioke a few words and
returned to her cataleptic state. Since
then she has remained apparantly with
out life. There is no known cause for
her strange illness.
W ill Boycott Carnfgle Products.
New York, Aug. 8. President Sam
uel Gomjiers, of the American Federa
tion of Ijtl.r, was seen at his office this
afternoon. Mr. Gompers Said that it was
more than likely that the American
Federation of Lalior, G,00n strong,
would !oycott the steel made by Andrew
Carnegie at Homestead and other places.
This means that every employer who
uses Carnegie steel will be blacklisted and
the rnion men in his employ will be
called out on a strike. It will practi
cally paralyze big building operations all
over the country if what Mr. Gompers
says actually comes to pass. It will put
a stop to railroad building, as the Car
negie works manufacture a large part of
the steel rails used in this country. It
w ill also put a stop in a large measure to
government boat building.

ABSOULTTELY PURE
ociety has a Bout.
Sa ratoc.a, Aug. 8. A prize fight in
upl?r ten circles took place on the fair
grounds at Rattstonspa, at 10.30 this
morning. The principals were David
W. Shea, of Boston a Harvard college
student and memlier of the Harvard
crew and foot ball team, ami Sidney i
Smith, of liallstonspa, the son of
wealthy and prominent family. The
men are both tine loxers and the match
was the result of jealousy.
The party left Saratoga in two tally-feo
coaches at ten o'clock and drove to Ball
stonspa. Billy Edwards was referee and
Jimmie I-arkin, of New Y'ork, seconded
Shea. Tin? light was a hard one and for
blood. Smith kuockfd Shea out in the
se-ond round. Shea was liadly punished
and a dispute as to the time of the sk?
ond round nearly precipited a general
fight among the two dozen Pioctatoi-s,
friends of the fichters. Smith weighed
15.S pounds and Shea 17o. The tinve of j
the first round was two minutes, second
round -Kie minute and fifty-four sec

Iraiii Robbers Foiled.
Paris, Tex., Aug. 10. As tlie out-
liound Texas and St. Louis express - J
proached Winsten tunnel on the "Frco
road, it was flagged by the tunnel watch-
man, who said that 10 or twelve armed ;
men luul visited a residence near Uiere j
and made very particular inquiries con
cerning the train. The conductor back
ed to Winston station, and as tlie train
started back, three armed men, who got
aboard at Winston, jumped off and dis
appeared in the thicket. The superin
tendant at Fort Smith was notified and a
strong force of deputy marshals went
down and guarded the train through.
When the train first left Winston station,
a shot was fired on the mountain side
near by. This was qui kly repeated
near the tunnel, and again from the top
of the ridge over- the tunnel, and it is
supiosed that it was a signal for the
gang at the west end that the train was
coming. It was found they had pre
pared for the hold-up at a high trestle
near the west end.
Tnose Lost Guineas.
New Y'ork, Aug. 8. A dredge is still
engaged at the foot of east 137 street in
an endeavor to recover the lost treasure
that went down in the British frigate
Huzzar in 1780. The treasure supiOsed
to lie among the sunken, worm-eaten
timlicrs of the British frigate amounts
to $408,000 and it is in the shape of
golden guineas of the timeof George 1 1 1.
Thirty-two guineas were actually brought
up in 170.
So f avorably are the prospects for a
rich "find"' considered that on Saturday
night the stockholders of the company
conducting the work met in Ix-monister,
Mass., and increased the capital stock.
The jiowerful hydraulic dredge is daily
bringing up relics from the wreck, and
extraordinary care is exercised in search
ing the scrapings from the bottom of
the sound, which, after lieing brought
up, are dumped on a screen and careful- i
ly picked over, in the hoje of finding
the gold pieces that have lieen under
seventy feet of water for 112 years.
A Mlfe's Awful Deed.
Sei.inoerove, Pa., Aug. 0. An inves
tigation has leen started to fathom the
mysterious d-ath of Mrs. Charles Swen
gle, of Franklin township, this county.
Mrs. Sweugle was lieforc her marriage
the belle of that locality. Her father is
Prothonotary J. C. Schoch, of Snyder
county. Iist week Mrs. Swengle one
morning complained of neuralgia pains,
and told her maid, Minnie Hummel,
that she would take a morphine powder.
She took a powder and was soon
suffering horribly. A doctor was sum
moned, but Mrs. Swengle died in five
minutes. Dr. Hassinger said the symp
toms resembled strychnia poisoning.
When Mr. Swengle, the husband, was
questioned he said he had bought two
grains of strychnia to oison a weasel,
and three morphine powders. Tlie dis
trict attorney is investigating the case
and the dead woman's stomach is now at
the Jefferson Medical College, Philadel

St. rETERSiiL KG, A tig. 10. Tlie pleas
ure steamer that was reported in these
disjiatches of Monday as having been
run down outside of Helsingfors was
named the Ajax. She was a ceaster
and left Helsingfors on Sunday with 100
excursionists on board. Her return was
delayed, and she arrived off Helsingfors
after midnight.
When in the narrowest part of the
channel she collided with the steamer
Kuneberg and sank in about a minute.
Despite the fact the people on the Kune
berg threw overboard everything that
would float to support those struggling
in the water, most of the Ajax people
were drowned. Tlie last rejiorts put

Mtskegon, Mich., Aug. 6. TheGrand
Kapids Methodist Episcopal camp-meeting
is being held at Hackley Tark As
sembly grounds at Lake Harbor, six
miles south of this city, and is attended
by a large number of people. Tlie Lake
Harbor railway affords means of transit.
Last evening after services the train was
returning to the city, when the passen
gers were startled by the train stopping
suddenly. It was found that four ties
had lieen placed across the track at vari
ous intervals and a deliberate attempt
made to wreck the train. The plan
would have succeeded if the train had
been running rapidly. The discovery
of the obstruction was made by Conduc
tor Wren, who was standing on the rear
steps, the train running backward.
Hugged by a ftlg Snake.
Shamokin, Pa., Aug. 4. A blacksnake
nine feet long that came to the slaughter

Kate Patterson, of Crescent City. O.T.,
at midnight on Friday, secured a double
barreled shot gun, walked iu her night
clothes to her lover's house, called him out,
and shot at him. Thinking she had killed
him, she placed the. muzzle of the gun in
her mouth, and with her bare feet pulled
the trigger, her brains lieing blown out.
Her lover was unharmed. Jealousy was
the cause.
While Charles Hadlock was threshing
wheat near Ogden, Ctah, on Saturday, a
sheaf in which a dynamite cartridge had
Iwen concealed was fed into the separator.

machine to pieci-s and threw the threshers
in all directions. Two of them an? fatally
injured. There is no clue to the jicrpctra
tors of the outrage.

he told the financial standing of the firm
of John Jk James Hunter, of Philadelphia,
and over whose head two charges of for
gery have been hanging ever since, lias
returned to his hnmfl there, and is now
under bail to appear at court. He has

merchant of Chicago, committed suicide by
hanging at a late hour on Satuiday. at

holies of finding relief.
Last Friday evening after tin- heavy
thunder storm had passi-d, several hundn-d
sparrows were picked up in Flemiugtou,
apparently dead. They wen- foundliear a
tree that had blown dow n, and enough of
the birds were picked up to till tw o large
buckets, such as fine cut chewing tobacco
is shipiH-d in. The most singular part of
the story is that when morning came the
birds were all alive, and as well as over.
The supposition is that the birds were
roosting in the trc aud were stunned by
lightning.
