President McKinley has given tiie keynotes for the Republican campaign. Tbe occasion was his official notifica tion of remonination. It is understood that the President is not going to make speeches as he did four years ago. The burden of government is too heavy to permit him to receive several delega tions a day and talk to them. Four years ago he was a candidate without official responsibility, now he is at the head of a great Nation with very grave matters demanding attention. He can not neglect his duties to make address es. His speech, therefore, to the Noti fication Committee may be accepted as his main deliyerance. It was not a long speech, but it was right to the point. The President gave a history of the work accomplished since the fourth day of March, 1897. He told of the prosperity that had come to us as a Nation, how the mills had been opened and how the country had settled down to a monetary standard. Then he spoke of our duties to the is lands that had come under our control. He wasted no words and every sentence was one of patriotism. Let us take from that speech some of the striking sentences, for each one is terse and each one goes to" the very vi tals of the campaign issues. Here are some of these pointed paragraphs; The American people hold the finan ataf""honor of our government as sacred as our flag. Our industrial supremacy, our produc tive capacity, our business and commer cial prosperity, onr labor and its rewards, our national credit and cur rency, our proud financial honor, and onr splendid free citizenship, the birth right of every American, are all involv ed in the pending compaign. The national credit, which has thus —{arJfprtnnately resisted every assault upon it, nrUßt and will be upheld and ■trengthened. The gold standard has been reaffirm ed and strengthened. The endless chain has been broken, and the drain upon our gold reserve no longer frets ns. The credit of the country has been "■ &u?anoed to the highest place Mnong all nations. We have lower interest and higher wages, more money and fewer mort opened to American products. We have passed from a bond-issuing to a bond-paying nation, from a nation of borrowers to a nation of lenders. The public faith has been upheld; pnblic order has been maintained. We nave prosperity at home and prestige abroad. The menace of Iunets. handkerchiefs, etc., and they have aim) given an oyster supper and lawn-fete; and have received a card of thanks from Miss Emma D. Anderson of Sialkot, India, for fifteen dollars, the first money they sent away And about two weeks ago they sent away sixty dol lars more. The girls say "it pays to take the Lord into partnership." Judging from their beaming counten ances ana from their words of warm ap preciation, I venture to thank in behalf of the Society, the kind friends who have patronized them so liberally in their work of devotion. \T 11 POLITICAL. The Republicans of .York and Leb anon counties nominated Anti-Qnay men for the Legislature, la.-t Saturday and at Washington, National C hairman Hanna dropped s name from the executive committee and put in Frank lin Murphy of New Jersey The defeat of the Quayitea in Lebai. on county after trying to keep the names of Dr Weiss ananon county. Mon day Dr Gerberich, the candidate for State Senate gave notice that be would contest Dr Weiss.nomination and Dr Zerbe. Quay, gave notice that he would contest Prof. Breman's nomina tion: and both cases will probably get into the i-ourts The Democratic congressional confer ence of the Venango, Warren, McKean district, met at Oil City, last Thursday and endorsed the nomination of ftewis Emery, of Bradford, by the Independent Republicans. The notification committees finally notified President McKinley and Governor Rosevelt of the nomination by the Republican National committee last Thursday, and both men made notable speeches Hon. A. Ci. Wiiliams and Hon. Geo. W. McNeese, the respective Butler and Armstrong candidates for State Senate recently met and agreed that the 41st district's conference should be held dur ing the present month. The delegates from each county will then meet and decide which county nominee shall re present the district. Both men are ad herents of M S. Quay. It is Butler County's turn for the nomination and Mr. Williams will no doubt be conced ed the place by Mr McNeese. The district was made in 1674. since which time. Armstrong County men have filled the office for 14 years and Butler men 12 years. Practically complete returns from the Lebanon county Republican primary elections, held on Saturday evening, in dicate that the ahti-Quayites captured about everything in sight, including a State Senator and two assemblymen, si though by majorities much smaller than that by which Dr. Samuel Weiss was nominated for State Senator a year ago last February. The explanation for this probably is that the Quay leaders traded about every Quay candidate for a county office to secure rotes for a Quay Senator and two Quay Assemblymen, as it appears that the anti-Qua. itea captured every county office except one. Tbe net result is a loss of two votes to Quay in the next Legislature, as the two Lebanon county Assemblymen in the last Legislature voted steadily for him from start to finish. The Lebanon anti- Quayites have not much to brag of in the matt«r of majorities, but they got away with about everything they went after, which justifies them in claiming a wholesale anti-Quay victory. The Lebanon result does not afford much encouragement to Quay and his follow ers.—Philadelphia Times. A Dissertation on Threshing. EKASTOWN, JCLY 16. 1800. EDITOR OF THE CITIZEN*: DEAR SIR —Will you kindly allow me a small space in your paper, as I want to say a few words to the farmers of Butler county The harvest is here and the hum of the steam thresher will soon be heard. There ie no time when a farmer is more careful of his property than when he is having his threshing done, any amount may be wasted by the harvester or in handling the grain, but let him discover a few kernels going into the straw through the machine and he at once loses his reason and imagines ruin stares him in the face. He will show them to the operator with an autocratic air of "do totter or unit" In a bnsbel of oats, 32 pounds, there are about 600,000 kernels; in a bushel of wheat, 60 pounds, there are about 1,000,000 kernels. If he should hold his hand where the grain is wasting the fastest for half a minute and catch 10 kernels he would say it was half going in the straw. Let us see, counting 26 days for a month and 10 hours for a day it would take him over 3 months to I catch a bushel of wheat. Oh! He savs, he "only held his hand nnder a small part of the falling chaff." Well, suppose the machine is 52 inches wide and nis hand only 2 inches, and the grain wasting equally across the entire machine it would then take 3 days, at the same rate, for enough | kernels to pass to fill a bushel measure. In order to waste 5 bushels in a day of 10 hours run there would have to be 188 kernels escape every second or 8,240 every minute. It is Very deciving when the quantity of grain comes to be I measured bv the kernel. While most threshers have a heart as large as a pumpkin and are willing to do all in their j>ower to save the grain for there customers, the farmer should remember that absolute perfec tion is impossible, and that the actual waste is but very small as compared to the amount threshed. It is difficult to state what per cent, a machine will waste and still be doing good work. I have made several tests to determine this, bnt the conditions varied so that there are scarcely two alike. In ordinary threshing when the conditions are not unfavorable and the machine not being over crowded it should nut wwte more than jof 1 per cent. This will be a little over 3 bushels i>er thous and and calling 10 hours a day, thresh ing 1000 bu. and wasting 8 bushels it would necessitate losing what would lay on the palm of the hand every 15 seconds, not a very long space of time, only a quarter of a minute. This would show very plain and the machine would appear to be was ting very fast. HARRY B. FLEMING. Fairvicw Facts. J. C.

()n Friday last the destruction of all the foreigners in Pekm was confirmed, through Chines** sources. It was said that Prince Chins and Gen Wang Wen. attempted to protect the legations, but that they and their forces were killed, that the British 'and Russian legations were the hist to hold ont and that they were shot to fragments with artillery. But two foreigners are said to have es caped the city. The Chinese army investing Tien Tsin were bombarding the foreign quarter of the city, and the accuracy of their artillery aim was noted. On Saturday all hope was abandoned at Washington of the safety of our lega tion at Pek ; n. The Czar of Russia re ceived word of the torture and death ot' his Ambassador. Mde -Geirs who was said tri have been dragged through the streets and th~u thrown into a cauldron of boiling water while his wife wan stabbed to death At Tien Tsin the European troops were being driven steadily back by the Chinese. The Viceroys of sonthern China were ordered to send troops against the Boxers. Minister Wung, at Washington, criticized the European governments for attacking the forts at Taku, and inti mated they had purposely sacrificed their legations at Pekin. Admiral Remey sent word of the dis embarking of Japanese troops at Taku, which would hurry forward to the re lief of Tien Tsin. All the European governments were preparing troops, provisions, ainunition, guns etc. for transportation to China On Monday word was received in this country of the repulse of the allies at Tien Tain, while attempting to storm a wall of the Chinese city. The allies numbered 7,000, and withdrew with great loss. Twenty-five percent of the Ninth Infantry. U. S were hit. and Col. Liscum was killed. War ships at all the Chinese i>orts were asked for by the Consuls: President McKinley and Cabinet were discussing an extra session of Congress. On Tuesday the London "Daily Maii' received a dispatch from Shanghai statingl that: "The troops of the allied powers in Tien l'sin resumed the attack on the Chi nese walled city on the morning of July 14. They succeeded in making a breach in the walls and captured all the forts. The Chinese were completely routed the rillies taking possession of the native city'and its defenses. • The total losses among the allied forces on Thursday, Friday and Satur day were about 800 men. The heaviest losses were among the Russians and Japanese." An earlier dispatch from Shanghai read: "It is stated that the repulse of the allies at Tiensin on July 13 was not s< i bad as at first reported The alli"s captured eight guns and occupied a good position clone to the city walls, where they expected to renew the as sault the next dav." On Tuesday, Minister Wn, at Wash" ington, received a disptach from the minister at London, authenticated by Sheng, the imperal inspector of posts and telegraphs ut Shanghai and by two viceroys, declaring that the foreigners iu Peking were safe on July it and were receiving the protection of the govern ment. This is two days after the re ported massacre. Besides presenting to Minister Hay the contents of his dispatch, Minister Wu also offically executed the direction con tained in the message for an appeal to the powers not to deetroy the walled city of Tien-tisn. This part of the dis patch says: "The utmost efforts have been made to protect foreign ministers, who were well on the 13th (Chinese calender cor responding to our Jul; #>. If Tien tsin city shonid be destroyed it would be difficult to restore the same in 100 yea: s. Request the powers to preserve it, as the consequences would affect Chinese and foreigners commerce. Earl Li Chang is transferred to North China as viceroy to Chi-Li. Please transmit this dispatch to the ministers of other capitals." This dispatch, which is dated July in, was signed by Viceroys Lin Kung Yi and Chang Chih Tung of Nanking a:ul Wn Chang, respectively, and also by Cheng, director of posts and telegraphs at Shanghai. It was addressed to the Chinese minister in Loudon, and by him transmitted to Minister Wu under to-day's date. The minister expressed the most com plete confidence in the accuracy of the message showing that the foreign min isters were well on the 'Jth inst. VVi.eu a bystander expressed some doubt on this subject. Mr Wu inquired with some warmth Why is it that you believe the exag gerated reports coming from nnknown sources, and yet you choose to doubt this report, signed by our highest officials and containing inherent evidence of accuracy?" The most startling news of yesterday was the reported declaration of war by China upon Russia. The Chinese seized a Russian transport in the Amur river and killed the crew and then attacked and captured a Russian town on the river and murdered the garrison The Boxer movement was reported to spreading all over Manchuria, and the Boxers have ordered all Russians out of the province, though the Russians are said to have 50,000 men and 112 guns in it Li Hung Chang started on \Luxuiuy from Shanghai for Pekin and to the Americans who inquired about the act l nal safety of the foreign ministers at Peking, Li answered that he had received no news from Peking within the past week, bnt that. if they were alive, he was almost certain matters would be satisfactorily arranged with the allied powers. ' If they are dead"—here lie shrugged his shoulders signficantly and added with lower voice "it is hard to tell what may happen. lam going to Pek king practically unarmed.except for my body guard of 200 men, and that ought to be evidence to the whole world that i do not favor any fighting and of my pacific intentions. lem old and in very poor health and it is a personal sacrifice to undertake such a journey in this horrid weather After a moments thought he .-aid: "If your ministers are killed do you think mv lifo may be taken in retaliation while enronte?" This question received a general strong negative reply. He then asked the consuls to wire to their respective admirals to resect his own flag ami to allow him a safe conduct tT Peking. He was evidently exceedingly anxious about the ministers, for. returning to the sub jet. he said: "My heart is sori about them I know them all personally and I am on the best of good ter:ns with them. ' He added that he rualized his govern ment had done wrong and that it was to show hi* grav. displeasure that he- sent the cablegrams from Lonl Salisbury and M Deleasst to theJEmpro-s word for word as ho received them He conclud ed by asking the co-operation of th ■ allied powers In furthering the succes of his mission and said emphatically that he depended upon th^-m STORY OF THE MASSACRE. The Shanghai correspondent of the London Daily Mail" sent his paper the following account of the butchery in Pekin At six o'clock in the evening of July 6. fire was opened with artillery upon the British legation, where the ers were concentrated. For two h 'urs the wall.- were battered with ohm and shell and huge breathe.- made in them. Then a geser.d advance was ordered and the Chinese infantry volleying con- etantlv, moved toward the gap- The fire of"the defenders, however, was so accurate and steady that hordes of Chinese soldiers and Boxers broke and fled in the wildest confusion leaving large numbers of dead and wounded around the legation They could not bt rallied until they were out of rifle range of the foreigners. Then Prince Titan, making a desper ate appeal, induced them to stand and return to the attack. Artillery fire was .fhen resumed and at the uiiddlo watch a second attack was attempted. But before the attackers conld accomplish their object they were met by Prince Ching and Gen. Wang Wen Shao with their troops, who were going to the &id of the foreigners. A desperate l>aitle ensued between the various fore, s of Chinese and Manchns. "Unfortunately, many of Prince Citing's troops deserted to Prince Tnau. Prince Ching fell and was supposed to have been killed, but, as the search ior his body was unsuccessful, it is now believed that he was only wounded and was carried off and secreted by his taith ful retainers. Gen. Wang Wen Shao, although gray haired and 70 years old, valiantly led his troops in person. He was killed and his force, which was completely outnum bered was routed. Throughout the night repeated attacks were made on the legation, but they were invariably re pulsed with heavy lose. To word the end of the third watch, about o a m.. the allies had partically defeated the besieg ers, who where wavering and gradually with drawing. But just then Gen. Tung Full Siang arrived from the vicnity of Tien Tsin with a large force of Kan-Su braves. By this time the walls of the legation had been battered down and most of the buildings were in ruins. Most of the allies had fallen at their posts, and the small band that was left took refuge in the wrecked build ings, which they endeavered hastily to fortify. Upon them the fire of the Chinese artillery was now directed. Toward sunrise it was evident that the ammunition of the allies were running out and, at 7 o'clock, as the advances of the Chinese in force failed to drew a response, a rush was determined upon. Thus, standing together, as sun rose, the little remaning band, all Euro peans. met death stubbornly. There was a desperate hand to hand encounter. The Chinese lost heav ily,but as one man fell, others advanced, and finally, over come by overwhelming odds, every one of the Europeans remaining was put to the sword in the most atrocious man ner." PKKIN'S MI'BDER SPOT When the detachments of the various nationalities reached Pekin at the argent summons of their Ambassadors <•11 the illfatcd Inue 1, they marched to Legation street. This runs parallel with the -wall separating the Tartar from the Chinese City, and at a distance of about Iwo hundred and fifty yards from it. it lies inside the Tartar City, to the south east of the Imperial City. Its buildings are easily commanded by the towering wall, which is fifty feet high and forty feet broad at the top. The legations for the most part consisted of small coru ponnds each snrrounded by low brick wall and containing a number of separ ate buildings for the Minister, his staff and "household. Intersecting Legation street isacau:U. On the north side of this stood the Spanish, the Japanese, the French and the Italian legations, and on the sonth side the German legation. On the other side of the canal was the United States legation, almost facing the Russian legation. A couple of yards distant from Legation street, but open ing on to the canal, were the British legation. Among the legation com pounds were interspersed Chinese tene ments, European buildings, such as the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, the Peking Club, tha European Hotel kept bv a Frenchman, and one or two Europe nil shops. At the back of the French legation, adjoining tb<> new Austrian legation, was the large compound of the Imperial Maritime Customs, with Sir Robert Hart's residence, and those of the chief Europ- an employes of his administration. The street runs for about bftlf or two thirds of a mile. On previous occasions, when it was found necessary to introduce legation guards into Peking for the protection of the Ambassadors a scheme of common defense was drawn up, so that the different detachments sent up by the Powers mightco-oporate. It was agreed in case of necessity to make the British compound, as the largest and most de fensible the international stronghold. When the British army entered Peking victoriously in 1800 they occupied the compound." which was formely the palace of a Chines:.' Prince Its grounds of an acre and a half were enclosed with a fairly strong wall, and the canal along one side formed a kind of moat. Since 1801. when it was leased to the British by the Chinese, modern buildings have been erected within the enclosure for the large European staff, the members of iho Consular service, as well as separ ate outhouses for the Chinese attendants uud servants The buildings included the Minister* house, the chancellery, an armory, a dispensary and a fire station. This was the place chosen for the place of refuge in the case of an up rising in the citp. Probably some extra stores were pro vided but it was never anticipated that the imperial authorities would instigate or support with soldiers an organized attack upon the foreign settlement, and when the crisis came suddenly, with Prince Tuan as chief assailant, the means to repel an assault or sustain a siege must nave been badly inadequate Ammunition and artillery supplies were scanty. The legation guards, numbering in all had at the outside 150 rounds apiece and half a dozen quick firing guns. No reserve stores at the legation have beta mentioned, and the desperate fighting wo.uld soon exhaust the meager supply As for provisions, the destruction of all the legations escwpt two quickly drove into the Brit ish compound the foreigners of all nationalities. It is computed there would be at least 1,900 mouths to feed Behind the British compound lies the Mongol market, an unsheltered spot, where in ordinary times frozen sheep arc sold, brought iu from Mongolia by the ten thousand camels vhich enter and leave Peking in the course of the 24 hours. With the "Boxers." however, iu pos session of the roads leading to the capital on the north, oast and south, the rail way destroyed and other means of traffic stopped, the Ixjloagured garrisons could have do chance of replacing the trifling stocks accumulated within th compounds. Starvation must have star od them in the face, for submission was not to be thought of. If the worst came to the worst it was thought that the Mongolian ponies, of which great num bers are usually to be found in the precincts of the comjMjuuds, might be utilized for food, but this suggestion affords but a faint hojie in view of the desjK*rate situation in which the foreign settlement quiokly found itself. Huddled together in building that would quickly take fire, stormed at with shot and shell as the ruthless Tartars brought up cannon and mounted them at close quarters, the gallant inarrines and no less brave civilians would have little chance of any effective resistance. Sir Robert Hart s knowledge of China, his great services to the country, went for nothing. All was lost when ho sent out his uiHßsago of despair, 'Situation iH desperate. Hasten," probably on June l X The legation was then in flames and the number of killed and wounded must have crippled the heroric remnant For days a horror of great darkness brooded over the murder spot in Peking, to spread thence over the civilized world. Perhaps those to whom death came early in the struggle are to IKI ac counted fortunate, when one considers the nameless cruelties to which th Chinese have been addicted in previous excesses In the Taeping rebellion, at the taking of Nankin. 30,000 noi. com batants were massacred Inhabitant were boiled alive sawn asunder and otherwise tortured. FROM TAKF TO PEKING. tThe following aocount of his trip from Tr.ku to Peking was written weeks ago by an Austrian naval officer who Is supposed to have perished with the other foreigners in the city ) The railroad to Poking starts at Tong- Ku, which place I reached by a rheumat ic tugboat from Taka after two hoars sporadic steaming When goes th>- next train to Tien Tsin ? 1 asked the station master Ah, my lord, replied the pig tailed worthy iu his beat pigeon Englisu "in an hour perhaps, oi in two. who knows I We are waiting for the train from Tien Tsin to arriye and start again To kiii timt I walked into the railway eating hous 1 , where the buffet offered very good Chinese cake, ham eggs, bad port and excellent tea. also a soup that seemed to be composed of a thousand and one tilings. As there was no train in sight by the time I had dined, and as the station master informed me that the Tien-Tsin express shouldu't leave with out me. I made a tour of the village, which I found to be just as dirty and as full of sick people and beggars as any other Chinese settlement. But there seemed to IK- a greater number and \ i riety of opium mills—for the benefit of the sailors. I was told. Half a dozen women with tiny feet and clothed in flowered silk dross-s squatted along the walls of each s..ioon inviting paesersby to step in. When the Tien-Tsin train arrived and hundreds of waiting passengers rushed pell mell for the cars, the policemen, without a word of warning, fell UJM>U their countrymen dealing out strokes right and left. The outraged people howled, there was no end to their chat tered protestations, but further resist ance was not offered The two hours ride from Tong-Ku to Tien-Tsin took us through treeless flat lands devastated by floods. There were only a few villoges. with small, mud covered houses, to be seen, bat miles upon miles of round mound, indicating graves. People outside of the Middle kingdom think the Chinese especially addicted to the worship of their ances tors If r.hey are, they don't show it by keeping their graves green; Among the the thousands of graves I saw there wasn t one indicating that anybody cared for it. Frequently the naked bones or parts of the coffins are visible from without. So much for Chinese sentimentality! "Tien-Tsin' "Tien-Tsin I .' The train stopped tiefore a long-streched, oof<- story barn, a horde of coolies rushed up on the carriages, four of them took hold of my baggage and we were off for the embankment of the P*i Ho. on the op posite side of which the foreign settle ments are situated. Arrived there a buggy drawn by a galloping native soon carried me within the confines of civil ization Broad streets lined with stone houses and shade trees, pure air and perfect quietude —the difference between this and the Chinese town I came from is that between a well-ordered park and a dung heap I lodged at the Astor House, the roomy apartments.quiet service and exquisite cuisine of which reminded me of the famous New York hotel. The English settlement has the peaceful aspects of a rich rural town in Great Britain. The streets are well laid out. pretty villas here, fine business blocks there. The church is a graceful edifice, green bush es and flowers are everywhere. 1 saw a number of stylish ladies on horseback, while groups of blonde children walked about under the care of prim nurses. The native town, which is surround ed by walls and a moat, is said to con tain a million inhabitants. There are also large settlements outside of the walls. I uidn't like the attitude of the people toward us foreigners while we were driving through the narrow, ill smelling streets. They regarded us with sullen looks ami bustled or delay ed our riksas (buggies) according to their sweet pleasure all along the road. Wo hefird many stories of Europeans that were maltreated in the Chinese town. Some Europeans even vanished from the face of the earth after visiting the town of the natives. Maybe fana tics did away with them. A large per centage of the population are Manchns; they are bigger and more energetic thau the Chinese, and their hatred of foreign ers is notorious. The railroad to Peking was finished three years ago. Until then traveling to the capitol wont by boat up tho Pei .Ho on horse back or by carriage. This took two or throe days. Now the dis tance can be covered in five hours. Tim railway is government property and pays well, f paid $3.50 for a first-class ticket, no charge for baggage. This latter privilege is very important to the natives, who are in the habit of carting all sorts of useful and useless things aloug with them on their travels, cages full of canary birds among other things. Donkev and camel caravans were traveling along the railway bed in great numbers, followed by swarms of chil dren bent on picking up occasional loss e-. As I was gazing at the mountains in th" distance the train stopped sud deuly at a low building marked "Po- king" in large letters There was no town to be seen. I was informed that the Sou of Heaven would never allow the foreign devils to bring their sicri ligious railways to Peking's very gates. The firm of Siemens & Halske operates an electric street car line between the station and the city, but this wasn't running owing to the riotous behavior of the "Boxers", who are assembling here in menacing numbers. As no car riage was to be had I resolved to enter Peking mounted on an ass It was a terrible journey across marshes and mud holes, over ditches and heaps of stones and garbage. My eyes pained uie owing to the clouds of dirt and dust flying about; often I shut them to avoid seeing the sick and beggars rolling in the road crying for alms. A full hour 1 trotted along, the road becoming hilly as we came uearor to the city. When at last we stood within sight of the mighty walls we were ob liged to stop, for the bridgo spanning the moat is but a nnrrow affair, allow ing but one wagon and one mounted man to pass side by side at the same time. The gate was defended by a three story guard house, numerous can non and soldiers. When we had passed under it I expected to i nter right into the whirl of the great metropolis, l>at instead we had another half hours ride before tis It led up over a narrow dam between the walled parks of the Temple of Agrioultnre aud of Heaven We could catch no glimpses of the parks and buildings themselves. The bare forbidding walls were tco high "Another series of walls 50 feet high and 40 feet broad. In the center a gate, well fortified with men and guns, and no dummies of either kind. The Chinese town was entered by th.' Gate of Heaven. My first %-isit was to Lega tion street, which in no way corresponds to its proud title. The roadway a!l hill and dale, the first consisting of gar bage, ashes and disused building mater ial , the latter of stagnant water where naked children, hogs and dogs disport themselves At last on the other side of a bridge leading over an ill-smelling poud the bridge had many holes in it. but no balustrades -we encouuter the legation buildings that have been so often described "As it military person, and in view oi' tho fear lately expressed that the "Box er' riots may develop into something more serious, a menace to the foreign population, which might make inter vention by the Powers necessary, I took a survey of Peking from a strategical standpoint. I can't tell anything definite with regard to the strength of the walis, but, as already remarked, the Irtter are no longer defended by wooden cannons. They have real guns, guns of tho latest pattern. Krupp must have drawn hundreds of millions out of China in the last five or six years "A European or American strategist would say that Peking consists of city, meadow, viliago, park, acre, highway, marsh, garden and desert all in abund ance. Urass is everywhere in Peking, and black pigs who eat it are everywhere too. You ride through a seeming laby rinth of streets and alleys and suddenly come upon a large tract of land that is not built on This th> neighboring house owners have tnrned into gardens, or else use it for growing corn or fruit. Even between the principal streets there are alleys where sheep ami cattle find nourishing meadows. And this is not aecideut. but a recognized institution In proof of it we find a shepherd there superintending the grazing. I have ridden straight through ti.e city in ail directions and found the ocean of hous«-s coining to a stop miles this side of th" great wall in south and north east and west. Peasants tilling the -Ml can be met in all localities, and in the southwest especially or.e might imngin ■ himself removal to some great farm district Of the Chinese cityono hali is park. lake, acre or cemetery 'The parks of the Temples of Heaven and of Agriculture are enormous; there seems to be laud enough to crow cereals for the entire population ft is claimed that the original founders of Peking laid it m with a \ iew to jv.ssible long sieges If that is true they showed great wisdom- From the commisariat a standpoint there isn't another city in the world so weil fitted for a long siege than Peking A , reat part of the population is carrying on agriculture now. Every rich man owns one or more parks miles :n circumference, and the many city squares and the numerous empty lots afford even now meadow and gar den land. "As th-re are also many natural and artificial lakts it would be well nigh impossible to starve out Peking, particu larly as it is out of the .juestion that the Powers will send an army big enough to completely surround Peking, as Paris was surrounded by the Germans in 1871 Peking I reckon, can be taken onir by storm, after part of the wall has been laid low but this demolishing process requires enormous guns. If the district between Tieu-Tsin and Peking were in undated—and it's possible to flood it — how will you bring up the siege guns v THEIR POINT OF VIEW. A New Yorker who lately ate dinner in a Chines< restaurant in that city, talked to the waiter, and quotes him a« follows W< are pretty fairly well iinformed here about what is going on at home, said he. in reply to my suggestion. "While our people are are not great cor respondents as a class, we are in close touch all the time through various channels. The news is spread through all Chinatown every day. We read your papers, but we know how much to believe and what not to believe in them. Every mail brings us direct news from home, and this is spread bv word of mouth and bulletin. "China is all same as United States. You don t want the foreigner here; we don t want him there. Foreigner comes just the same "We have as much right to say you shan't come to our country as you have to say we shan't come here. We have mobs in China same as von have tbern here. The ignorant and prejudiced people have risen against the foreigner here. We kill; you kill. Both make big row." "But the 'Boxers are ail organize'! po litical and military party." "So was your knownothing party. It was against the foreigner. Its war cry was all same a« the 'Boxers.' America for Americans —China for Chinese.' And your knownothings persecuted and murdered people who didn't believe as they did. Lots of your peopl" are as bad HS the 'Boxers,' and would murder if they dared—worse than the 'Boxers,, be cause we attend to our business and don t harm anybody. "We are not trying to destroy your religion; *e are not grabbuig land and running new kind of roads through vonr graveyards and seizing all sorts of con cessions through corrupt governmental officials. Wo" are not trying to turn your country upside down and make it like our country. "Go among my people here and see how they live. They work hard and live poorly and mind their own business and hart nobody. Chinatown to day is more orderly and gives the police less trouble than any other quarter of the city. You know that There are bad Chinese as there are bad Americans and bad people in any couutrv But the trouble among lis is not made by Chin ese. The Chinese are a quiet and order ly people who love to keep to them selves. . "The only reason we are not wanted here is because we work aud live cheap ly, and you are afraid of ns because we work. In my country we are afraid of yon because you steal. The foreigner in my country is a robber —he robs us of our highways, of our nationality, of our gods We are culled heathen here; we there consider you the heathen. But we are an older civilization than you than all the rest of the world." •The missionary dosen't usually hurt anvoody," I put in '"'The missionary is really at the bot | torn of all the trouble between China and the foreigner. Yon say he dosen t hurt —h wounds at every step. Ho hurts more than gnns and swonls. for he treads upon our sacred religion, up on the most cherished institutions in stitutions under which our people lived, thrived and were happy unit multiplied exceedingly beyond the rest of the world before your Josus was ever heard of and while your so-called Christians were burning each other alive and slaying and torturing each other wherever their Bible was known. "We are no longer helpless in our for mer blind security. An army of 100,000 men may be landed and marched into China, may take Peking; but wherever they are they will be prisoners, the same as were the English and French who in terfered in the former rebellion. They will make no more impression on the Chinese people than you make by stick ing your finger into a pail of water and drawing it out again. The attempt to conquer <.*hina will solidify the nation and make more difficult the conversion of the Empire to Western ideas. The habits and customs and modes of thought that have prevailed for count less ages are n< >t to be changed iu a day, and there is where the foreign party in my country' have madfl a mistake. It is the common fault of the intellectual elatss anywhere and in all times to thus precipitate changes. " The science of government among intellectuals is a mere fad and does not take into full account the inert masses of mankind, with whom to be success ful they must deal. Eveu when their theories are correct and beneficial to these same elements precipitation ruins all. "Now, thero are undoubtedly many thing's here which might be introduced in China to our benefit, but this process must, as I say, be a long and unobtrus ive one You can't unmake and make over again a population of 100,000,000 people in a breath. It will require centuries " Family Reunion. The fifth annual reunion of the Sny der family was held, June l?lth, at the home of J N. Thompson, in Brady twp This meeting was of double signifi cance it being a century since Conrad Snyder. Sr. settled here and also the an nual reunion. During the forenoon a goodly number of relatives and friends assembled on the grove, which had been tastily ar ranged by Mr. Thompson. About i'J o'clock dinner was announc ed, and from the appearance of the ta ble one could easily see that the ladies had spared no pains in preparing this part of the celebration, which was heartily cn joyed by all. A beautiful cake baked by Mrs. W. B. Currie, qaon which was inscribed the date of the reunion, was presented to Mrs. Thompson. A short time was then spent socially, when the crowd was called to order by the president, and as the socretary was absent one was appointed. Addresses wore made by Rev. Oliver, M. 13. Thompson and J. M. Thompson and a recitat ion was given by Hoyt Painter. The officers elected for the next year were as follows; Pres. J. C. Snyder, Bec'y R. E. Allen. Committee on ar rangements Mr. and Mr#. John Snyder The first Tuesday of .Tune 1901 is the date of the next reunion and it is to be held at the residence of John Snyder in Brady twp. Again a shirt time was spent in social enjoyment when all departed for their homes feeling they had spent an enjoy able day.
