The war in China viewed from the stand-point of the United States, took in a new appearance last Friday when it was announc ed from Washington that the Chi nese minister at Washington had received a telegraph message from China that the American minister Conger was alive at Pekin on the ISth day of Jnly, alive in the British legation, that the legation is under the fire of the Chinese. That was satisfactory news so far as it relates to the lifeof the minis ter. In the light of the previous reports that all the foreigners and Christians at Pekin had been mur dered the news of their safety was received with many degrees of doubt. If the ministers and mis sionaries in Pekin have not been massacred who sent the reports of their murder regularly during the past montht The reports misled the government into the sending of troops post haste to China to force the rescue of the Americans 'at Pekin; The Washington govern ment was made to believe that American missionaries and busi -ness men at Pekin had been mur dered and that those who had es caped the fury of the Chinese in surgents had fled to the British head-quarters at Pekin where they were beseiged by the Boxers and in danger every minute of being cap tured and massacred by the rebel Chinese. Under such a lelief it was little wonder that McKinley sent troops to try and force a way to Pekin to secure the Americans from the heathen mob. The re port now is that the Americans are safe, but threatened on all sidesby the rebel Chinese, but the reports are so destitute of details that there is no possibility of stating what the true state of affairs is in Pekin. There is no possibility of knowing who are keeping the mob from murdering the civilized peo ple in Pekin. Some men, editors and other public men in America have gone so far as to guess that the Europeans and Americans in Pekin are are under the protection of the regular Chinese government, ana as long as the regular govern ment troops can hold out against the Boxers, the Americans and Eu ropeans will be safe. Other capa ble men claim to believe that the telegrams received from China are false and manufactured from the ciphers found on the per son of or in the desk of the Ameri can minister after he was murder ed. At this writing, Monday morning, July 22, the McKinley government does not understand the true situation in China, knows nothing about it further than it has sent United States troops to China to get out of Pekin the United states minister and oth er Americans, save their lives and property from the fury of Chinese, and that in the effort the Ameri cans with European troops have been defeated and are no nearer Pekin than when they first stepped on Chinese soil. More information from China is expected at every ncit oi me teiegrapn machine. On Wednesday. Julv 25 Presi dent McKinley made public the J act that the Emperor of China has urged him to mediate and bring about a peaceful solution of the trouble between China and the Eu ropeans and Americans. The Presi dent expresses the belief that if the United States government has pos itive assurance by a reopening of communication with her minister and missionaries that their .lives and property are safe and will con tinue to be rendered safe and peaceful, that the good offiee of this government will be interposed. A WARM DISCUSSION. JERICHO AGITATEO ABOUT A SCHOOL - HOUSE LIGHTNING ROD. Fa rnklu, the Pout Akaat tka flats That ulm, Tlls a Bath Sides mm Uaw the Ball las Itaalf Settle the Oemtioa. (Copyright. 1900. by C R tewto.) - It was a llgbtnln rod man who start ed the schoolbouse discussion. lie came along tbe other day and saw that the schoolbouse was without a rod. tnd he went to the town board and of fered to put one up for so much. The town board wrastlcd over It all day without com In to a conclusion, and when it rot to be known all over Jericho a big crowd assembled at the postofBce In tbe evenln to talk tbe matter over. It was Deacon Bpoonrr wbo called tbe crowd to order and said: "As It appears to me and to a major ity of tbe citizens of tbis town that an epoch In tbe history of Jericho has ar rived. I call upon tbe llgbtnln rod man to state bis case. "There ain't much to state," replies tbe man. "I've offered to put up two rods on the ecboolbouse and warrant It a good Job for $40. Bein as A school bouse is an emporium of knowledge and bcin s.3 the cause of education may be said to be the bulwarks of liberty, I've knocked (15 off the res'lar price." -I take It that he's made a pMnt," savs the deacon as he tunks on tbe floor with bis cane. "Emporium oi ed HK"S MADS A P'INT. " ucation and bulwarks of liberty seem to conic In Jist rljflit nuil hit the school bouse on all sides at once. 1 fur one nm staudia net: t nil In this blzncss. and I'd like to lu-ar both sides of the ques tion. Mebbe Silas Ijiplinui, who lives next door to tbe schoolbouse. would like to make n few remarks." "As fur nie." says Silas as he rises up, "I'm ag'in the Idea of a lightnin rod. That there schoolbouse was built 13 years ago. and durin them 13 years we're bad 72 thunderstorms. If she's dodged 72, why can't she dodge 200? Wby enn't she keep right on dodgln till she tumbles down of old age? Forty dollars fur n lightnin rod means more taxation. Tbar's icb a thing as an emporium of education, but that's nlso slcb a thing as nn emporium of taxn tlon. Jericho Is out of debt and no one kick in. but let tbe band of ex cesslve taxation clutch her throat, and bow long would It take to strangle tbe life out of her? I'm asklu you to pause and ponder afore It Is too kite. "Silas, you've made a p'Int and a strong one." says tbe deacon when the nppliiuxe has subsided. "If tbe scbooi house has dodged 72 thunderstorms, tbnrs no reason to think she won't keep up tbe record. Tea. It's a p'Int, and nieblie tbe llgbtnln rod man would like to answer It." "I don't think much of the p'tat," says tbe man as he gits np agln. "Tbar's S0.000.000 people in these Unit ed States, aud because none of 'em fell down stairs last year It don't foller that a heap of 'em won't tumble down this rear. I've known a man to go on dodgin a mule's heels fur 10 years and then git 'em both in the stouiccb at once. Mcbbc your scboolbottse will dodge a huudrcd mere thunderstorms. and mi-bo we will sk.issly liev sought our virtuous couc hes this oipht I.efore a thunderbolt as big cs a l.ar'l v.-IIi po drlvia tlirors'i her and leave r.r.tbln but a bcr.; of Ki-liriters to mark the cpot where yo;:r ::'.porium cf educa tion once reared its'prscd reef to tie blue vaults of heaven. I said f-K) to the town board today, but In order to show my Interest in the cause of edu cation and to prove to you that my hand is ever stretched forth to uphold the prestige of a .nation of freemen I'll make the price $38." "lie's made a p'Int, gentlemen he's made a p'Int," says tbe deacon as be whacks on the stove and looks around. "Yes, sir, when be talks about our schoolbouse rearin It's proud roof to tbe blue vaults of heaven he's made a p'Int, and I'm more favorable to the llgbtnln ro than I was. I think this crowd would like to bear from Enos Williams." "I'm with Silas Lapham." says Enos as he sbets up his Jackknife and gits bis feet under him. "I'm fur lettin sort in things dodge or bust. Tbcy wanted to insure the meetin bouse 24 years ago, but my advice was to let her dodge. She's thar ylt. I've got a barn oO years old, and she's never bad a lightnin rod or been insured Jest bad to dodge or bust all these years and she's thar ylt. Seventeen years go, when I built my bouse, I put a bell on the front door. Nobody has rung tbat bell to tbis day. It would be the same If we put a lightnin rod on the schoolbouse you wouldn't see a thunderstorm around here fur tbe next 15 years. I'm all right on the empo rium of education bizness, and I can see that thnr schoolbouse rearin it's proud roof to the blue vaults of heaven as plain as If it wa-su't 8 o'clock at night, but I don't see no call to pay out J 38. Let iter dodge or bust!" "Tbar's a p'Int thar, Enos tbar's a p'Int," says tbe deacon as he bits a cracker bar'l wltb his cane. "Yes. sir, tbar's a good deal In your theory about dodgin. When all tbe cows around here was hevin tbe lamp Jaw, a feller offered to protect mine ag'ln It fur $3. I said I'd let ber take her chances, and she come through all right. I obsarve Moses Forbusb 'among the audience, and, as Moses built the fence around the schoolbouse, mebbe he's got sun thin to say." "I ain't ag'ln llgbtnln rods," says Moses In bis slow way "I'm not aaln 'cm for what they are. It 'pears to me, however, that we'd better begin at tbe bottom Instead of the roof. Tbar's beat 20 hogs nestln ander tbe school bouse, and tbar's about 20 boles In the floor. I sorter like the Idea of a llgbt nln rod, and I sorter like the idea of a new floor and drivin the nogs out. One Idea sorter balances the t'other, and I don't want to cast my vote either way." "You bevn't made a p'Int," says the deacon, "but nobody expected you to. I take it, however, that yon go In fur an emporium of education, bein you got tbe Job of buildin tbe fence and hev seven children goin to schooL" j "Yes, I think I do." replies Moses. i "I've alius felt that it was my duty -to uphold tbe Magna Charta of liberty. iSpf t - ueu it comes to boostln tbe wheels of progress and civilization I'm good to lift a ton." ; It was then suggested that tbe light nin rod man might want to say sun thin more, and he went at It and made a reiflar Fourth of Jnly oration. Ha pic tured George Washington. John Han cock, Thomas Jefferson and half a doa en mora goln to school to learn how to pelt such words as "liberty," "free dom" and "bulwarks." He pictured them schoolbouses bein struck by light Bin f nr tbe want of rods, and he bad tears hi Joab Warner's eyes In leas'n Are mlnits. Then he pictured tbe hap py children of Jericho crowded Into the schoolbouse on a summer's day. Among them was future lawyers, doe tors,, editors, statesmen' and poets. They 'was drinkin In deep drafts of education when a black cloud appeared over Jim Taylor's barn, a nimble of thunder was beard, and a mlnlt later a thunderbolt shot out and struck tbe schoolbouse, and thar was a tragedy to convulse the world. Tbe town bad saved $38 on a lightnin rod. but whar was the scboolhonse, tbe scboolina'am and 44 scholars T Some was sboutin and some was wlpln their eyes when the man sot down, and after Deacon Spooner bad declared it the strongest p'Int be ever beard be made ready to put tbe question to a vote. Jest then In comes LIsh Billings, and the deacon turns to blm and says: "LIsh. we are hevin a meetin about tbat lightnin rod on tbe schoolbouse. As you painted - tbe buildin mebbe you'd like to say suntbln. Are you fur It or ag'ln It V "Neither one," answers LIsh after awhile. "Are you standin neutral?" "Not exactly." "Then, bow do you make it out?" "Wby, tbe durned old buildin fell down about an hour ago of its own self, and I don't reckon tbar's any call to waste any breath about the mat ter." - M. Quad.

This useful quality may also be obtained, I was Informed, by undergoing a very painful process of tattooing.

In tbe fight between tbo Monitor and Merrlmac it was found tbat there was not sufficient air in tbe turreted steam er for the crew and tbattbe suffocating gases generated by the explosion of gunpowder found their way below and rendered It practically Impossible for the men to work. Necessity therefore compelled tbe introduction of some ap paratus for artificial ventilation. The old methods in vogue for hun dreds of years bad been retained even under the new conditions and but for tbe striking exhibition of direct Inter ference wltb fighting capacity would have remained for many years longer. In tbe Monitor waa placed a rotary blower, worked by steam. Air was thus drawn from one half of the steam er through a system of pipes and forced Into the other. Various changes were made In later Ironclads of this period. In some tbe air waa drawn down tbe turrets and forced through out tbe vessel, thus rendering them more than ever liable to suffocate tbe men below in battle, while in others tbe supply was obtained through armored cylinders and forced out through tbe turrets. It was in the early Ironclads that a peculiar disease developed which, be ing confined to those vessels, was soon designated Ironclad fever. In this af fection tbe Initial symptoms were much like those of typhus, but In a short time sever acclpital pain was followed by cnjHpete aphonia and tbis by coma and eath. The Introduction of ventilating appliances caused the disappearance of this singular disease, and In time these metal boxes, almost entirely submerged, came to be regard ed as probably tbe most salubrious ves sels afloat.
