The "readiiisr mil" roes.s with
which the I H-iiKM-ralie organs are wont
to intimidate rci-alcitraiit statesmen
has fallen into most lauhahle disor
der. A few days since Seiialcr Hill
was U'injr most rigorously "read out of

faithful amoiijr the faithless, standing
KHiarey on the party platform, grills

Never he fore was a majority party so

f-'.ind himself utterly jiowcrlcs in the
hMise of his jiarty friends ami was
coiujicllcd to see the "KTtidious" (ior
maii gather ill the fruits of victory.
The sugar trust proved more power
ful than the President with all his pat
ronage and the hill goes hack to con
fereiuv without the dotting of an "i"
or the crossing of a "t." After the
pitiful apjieul of Senator Vilas, the
mouth-piece of the President, and after
all the whipping in of himself and
friends, (oirniau is aiisolutciy muster of
the situation for the present, ami there
will either lie no hill jKissed at this ses
sion or the President and the House
w ill have to eat a surfeit of crow. With
their victory on the hard fought field
of the Senate, there is no proluhility of
any comvsious lieiug made hv the
conferees apjioiiitcd hy that Ualy, ami
so it must U-the Senate hill or nothing.
There is no escajH' from this dilemma,
except hy the President w inning over

and after the tie vote of Friday this
hojie appear to be aiisolutciy prejxw
I. rous. It is true a single vote would
'haiige the tuv of the situation, !ut
who will dare lake tlutt r-sxinsihility ?
It looks, therefore, as though there is
no .oil.lc solution otherwise than
through a total surrender on the jrt of

and dishonor by leaders of his on u party,
uualile to command a single vote in the
Senate, and whipped by his own coward-i-e
into aiding the men and measure he
had denounced, licking the hand Il.it
smote him, history has strangely failed to
record the spectacle.
Not one vote could the President inllii-em-e
to stop the "perfidy" of duties on
coal and iron ore ; not one vote to thwart
the infamous sale of legislation to the
Sugar Trust. But without him the im
ltooly would still have liecn lieatcii. and
with it the Itill of Sale, if Senator Stew
art had represented anylxsly but himself,
lie proclaims himself a Populist, but aids
the most corrupt and shameless liargaiu
ever made by a inonojmly to control leg
islation. It is the destiny of some nu n
to serve as the linisiiisi'ious tool of those
they must heartily detest. ProluMy Mr.
Stewart detests the President as much as
HiivUxly in the world, and so he helps
Vilas and the cilckoos to dig the Presi
dent out of the hole into which his Wilson
letter plunged him.
Who wiil rejoice at the )nai- of this
bill It is dciiouiK-cd as infamous by I he
President, who will have to sign it; de
nounced as a shameless barter which
they wore forced to accept by the Senators
who reportcl an J voted Air it ; denounced
as a corrupt sale of pul.jic interests by all
independent men ill IsHil houses, and
resisted to the end from a high si-use of
duty by Itepuhlii-ana who know that its
passage will disgrace and defi-at the arty
in Isiwer. Not a single mail lives who
approves it, as one prominent I'etnocrat
has ulilicly dis'lans, and the men who
have done the most to frame and pas it
are those who resent most savagely the
I use coercion which has forced it Um
them. Xu Ixsiy of citizens anywhere, of
cither psrty, has ever pretended to desire
tlie passage of this bill. There never has
lx-eii a more striking exhibition of the
imiermo-st nature of licmocratic partisan
ship than is given by the sujijwi-t of a bill
so hostile to every public interest, and so
dishonoring and fatal to the party itself

CHIHA AID ;APAI.
From the New York Tntune.
Strong as have U-cii the intlueiices fu
favor of a peaceful settlement of the
Corean disjiule, the- Uvxarto have failed
lyo etfeet their piiirsise. For a fortnight
the trend of attaint has Is-en directly to
ward war. The recent fighting at Sosil
made it well nigh inevitable, esMs-islly
since the attack uimiii the Japanese was
said to Is instigated by the Chinese K.sii
ib iit ; and the sinking of a Chinese iruns
m ii t )' a Japanese gu nl sua made much
further in the same dire.li.ni. And now
we have the announ.-einent t list war h;is
a.1ually Isgun. It U a war that must lie
reganled w ith regret, and into which the
combatants tre surely not entering with
eagarucM, Neither China nor Japan
really wants to fight ; Core certajniy
d s not ; and Kngtand, Prance and Rus
sia, all deeply interested iu the case, can
scarcely lie supjswsl to desire a war
which may extend into their own Kuio
h'su circle.
Xjieculation on ihe prolstble result o"
tlie war. ynnposiiig China and Jaoan be
1- ft to f til it o:-.t Itetweeii tlnni selves is
naturally rife; aid the ni.-st comnsi es
timate seems to Is' t!iat China hss the ad
vantage ehielly on her side. And at first
sight the chances of victory do apiear to
lx- decidedly in China's favor. Her pop
ulation is eight or ten times as great as
that cf Japan, and she can therefore put
a vastly larger army in tho field. Her
territory is immediately iviiitiguons to
that of CVrea, so that she can send tnxips
ihithcr by 'th land and si-a. while Japan
mu-t seiid here a!l by sea. The navies of
the two powers are not greatly unequal
in str,::gt' 'nit the coasts and orts of
Japan arp . oiisidcrably mow vuineratde
than those of China. The latter country,
therefore, iuis in these material particu
lars a decide.! advanliige over il anlago
nist. A more imixirt.'iit factor, however,
than mere numbers or position is that
ton. Ii.-. 1 upon by an intelligent Chinaman
lon- resident in this csmtry, w hen he
Kii.l : "The Japanese arethe r-al Chinese.
" They represent the Is-st elemeiiLs of the
" Mongol rai-e." I lis words were entire
ly true. Not only are the Japain-se the
lxst of the Mongols, but they are close
rivals of the liesi of the Caiu-asiatis. The
pr.grnss they have made within the last
generation has never Ix-en paralleled by
any nation in so short a peri.sL III edu
cation, industries, lits-ral government,
and iodised all the elements of civiliza
tion, Japan is to Ix; ranked with America
and the nations of Western Kuro, rath
er than with Asiatic countries. And such
qualities tell ill war as well as in pewe,
The arsenals, foundries aud shipyards of
Japan are comparable w ith the 14 in
the world. The organization and disci
pline of her army are far sucrior to
th.ise of the Chinese. And in pluck, per
sistent valor and patriotic spirit there is
no comparison ls-twcen the two. The
true Chines were, jK-rhaps, many gener
ations ago, the equals of the Japanese.
I'.ut they have long !kcii overlxirue and
crushed by the Mantchoorian Tartars,
who are now the dominant element in the
Kiupire, and who control its destini'w.
The true Chinisie made one tremendous
attempt to reassert themselves in the
Taipiug Kelx-llion, and lmt for foreign
intervention Would prolsibly have suc
ceeded ; but they were ls-aten, and have
since had little part in public attairs. The
ruling classes in China, then, represent
the worst elements of the Mongol ra,
as the Japanese do the lsst, and those
elements also tell in w ar.
These conditions, in a contest IsHween
the two ixiwers, inust surely Is? of great
avail in determining the result. Foreign
intervention, of course, may (Mine, in one
form or another, and may tako the play
ing of the game entirely out of the hands
of the original contestants. Hut left to
themselves, there is reason to hope that
ihe Japanese spirit may prove more k
tent than China's huge material bulk,
an. I that of this war may Ix; rcpcat.sl the
words of Ma'-atilay on the siege of Lon

Death.
H aktfohii, Conn., July 29. The three
lost children of James W. loiinan, an en
gineer in the Consolidated railroad shops,
who have Iss-n missing since last Thurs
day, were found to-day dead in a lx car.
Ijist Thursday afternoon the three Ix.ys
Kaymoud, aged !. Lerov, aged 7, and
Freddie, aged 4, left their home to follow
their older brother down to the bath
house to go swimming. Since then ic (th
ing was heard of them, and so great has
lxs-ti the excitement that searching
parties containing hundreds of men hav e
scoured the country for Ihe past three
days I-ast night the chief of police start
ed out on a new tinsiry, that of searching
cars on the railroad that runs only aliotit
lull yards from the i iiiiuan house. I dicers
Mamie and 'Irady were detailed for the
work. After s.ian liiiig tor some time an
awful stench greeted t!eir nostrils This
odcr seemed to come, from a newly-painted
calssise, w hh h for a w eek past has
Isx-ii standing on a aide track. Th d.xir
was H it l.s-kud and thi ottb-ers walked
iu. At first they saw no tra'-es of tho
children, but ou closer Investigation II
was found tiiat the stench ritnu from a
corner of the ear, w here there wax a small
l.x-ker. This was Ls-ked w ith a spring
lis-k and w as burst open. The sight that
met theolncr-rseyes is Is-yond description.
The cubby hole into w hich the Ixiys had
crowded was only la inches one way by
the other and was five fix-t high, en
tirely closed in and almost air-tigiit.
In this coilindike tomb the children
were found, one piled on top the other.
So tightly were the bslii-s crushed into
the locker that it w as w ith some dilliciilty
that thev were removed. The Imdiist of
all the children w ere stripped naked, and
all were horribly !i-oin)xscd. There
were no marks of v iolence. The thisiry
is that the children's minds w ere full of
the idea of ff.iing in swimming. They
wondered in the wrong diro-tinn and
something frightening thtiu they craw led
into the calxmse. (iii'-e iu here thev

eisintries reefigiiize that an actual state of
war exists, and more collisions lietween
the fortsps of the two cixintries arecxjio-t-ed

The actual cause of the Inutilities, out
side of the grow ing complications in re
gard to Korea, is said to lx the fact that,
on Tuesday, Japanese cruisers attacked
Chinese transport conveying tnsips to
Ken 'a and sunk one of them, causing
heavy loss of life. One sttiry declares
that seven! transisirts wre sunk.
The Chimste tleet consisted of eleven
steamers anil sailed fn.in Tuku Friday
with litroois est'irte-l by gunlxMits.
Most of the transports proceeded slowly
with the guiilxsits while the faster out-
steamed at full sioetl. so as to laud their
troos as sm as jsrtsilile. On the trans
s.rts w hich arrivetl first at the Korean
coast were a few hundred soldiers from
the Army of the Nortli, 5bt of the
force, however, consisted of(sxilit with
inferior firearms or merely Imw s and ar
rows JAPAXKSE WARsllIPS Ol'KX FUSE.
The attack by the Japanese is describ
ed in a dispatch from Nagasaki. The
firing was lxgnn by a Japanese lottery
on the shore, while the Chinese officers
w ere trying to deUtrk their men from the
first steamer.
The cruiser then steamed up ami en
ed fire on all the tmnsports which were
lying to. waiting to discharge the men.
The Chinese were unable to make any cf-fts-tive
resistance. They were throw n in
to great confusion, and many jumped
