During the latter part of last week the news from China indicated that that country was preparing to fight the whole civilized world. On the other hand the allied forces at Tien Tsin were not yet strong enough to advance upon Pekin, and had not yet agreed upon a commander in chief; Germany and Russia seemed to under stand each other, Japan and France were playing a waiting game and Eng land was trying to make an alliance with the United States. All the European and Asiatic states men seemed to be trying to foresee what would follow the supposed inevitable conquest of nothern China. On Saturday Prince Tuan was report ed defeated and killed by Chinese, in a battle among themselves, a report that was likely a fake. Three transports sailed from Germany with troops for China, and the Emperor instructed them to take no prisoners. His speech to the troops was severely criticized by the German Press. The ac tion of Russia in not sending her army in Manchuria, said to number 100,000 and well equipped with artillery was noted; and some people thought there was a secret understanding between Russia and China; and that the reported massacre of the Russian Minister and family, (with horrible details) and the reported aggressions of the Chinese along the Amur, were all fakes. On Tuesday a dispatch from London read as follows: After long weeks of anxiety, the suspense felt in Great Britain with re gard to the safety of the British lega tion at Pekin, has been relieved by the receipt this morning of the following message from Sir Claude Mac Donald, dated Pekin, July 21, through Rear Admiral Bruce at Cbemulpho, July 30. "The British legation at Pekin, from June 20 to July 4 was repeatedly attack ed by Chinese troops on all sides with both rifles and artillery fire. Since July 16 an armistice has prevailed, but a cordon is strictly drawn on both sides of our position. The Chinese barricades are close to ours. All women and chil dren are in the British legation. "Casualties to date, 62 killed, includ ing C&pt. Strouts, R. M. L. 1., and a number of wounded in the hospital, in cluding Capt. Halliday, R. M. L. I. The rest of the legation are all well except David, Olipbant and Warren, killed July 21. "Mac Donald. " It is observed, however, that, curious ly enough, no mention is made of the condition of the garrison with regard either to food or ammunition, the infer ence being that it depends upon stores which must be fast diminishing in quan tity. Putting this at their best, "says the Times." it is clear that relief is ex tremely urgent; that the legations are in a state of siege, and that the safety of their members is of a purely relative kind. FORD. Gen. Chaffee arrived at Taku, Satur day, and the British and American troops at Tien Tsin were getting ready to advance as fast as possible. The Chinese army occupied three great camps within sight of Tien Tsin. Tuesday evening, the War Dep't. at Washington, received two dispatches from China, as follows: "Che Foo, (undated.) Tien Tsin, 27th. Message just received from Conger says since 16th. by agreement, no firing. Have provisions several weeks, little ammunition, all safe, well. I (Daggett) reported allied forces soon advance. Practically no looting by Americans, no unecessary killing. Indiana arrived 26- tli. Order MacCann, Sladen, both Aliens, Mitchell, Bryce join regiment here. (Signed) "Daggett.'' The second read: "Che Foo. Tien Tsin, 30th Flint shire arried 27th. Two hundred and fifty-seven Ninth Infantry sick, 10 doc tors, 100 hf>spital corps men, 20 signal men needed. Unavoidable delay un loading transports. Foreign troops ar riving. (Signed) "Daggett." Col- Daggett is in charge of military transportation on the Pei Ho river. Lt. Col. Coolidge, now at Tien Tsin. transmitted the following from Col. "V Shiba, now in Pekin. "PEKIN, July 22, evening.—We are all waiting impatiently arrival of rein forcing army. When are you coming? All legations have been bldckaded since 13th last mouth, and since the 20th we have bave been attacked continually night and day by the Chinese soldiers from than 10 encampments. By a su preme effort we are still defending. We are daily awaiting with the greatest anxiety arrival of reinforcing army and if you can't reach here in less than a week's time it is probable that we will not be able to hold out any longer. Emperor and Empress Dowager appear to be still at Pekin. Were our reinforce ments to arrive, very probable that they would flee to Wan Shoshan. Killed and wounded up to date, Eight killed, one a captain of infantry and an ambassador's attache, seven seriously wounded, the first secretary of legation being one of twenty slightly wounded. The nninl>er of Europeans killed is 60 in all. " The following dispatch, dated Che Foo. July 31, was received from Rear Admiral Remey yesterday morning: ' Takri, July 28.—Japanese military attache, Pekin, letter July 22, rei>orts legations besieged since Jnne IS. Con tinally attacked from June 20 until July 16. Attack then ceased and Chinese soldiers apparently diminishing. Sixty Europeans killed.

Jnly 31. The commander of the Italian cruiser Elba, at Tien Tsin, received the following telegram to day from the Japanese military attach' at Pekin. dated July 22: "The legations are eagerly awaiting relief. Cannot hold out long. Sixty Europeans killed." Yesterday the allies at Tien Tsin were preparing to advance upon the Chinese positions, as rapidly as possible. It was said that (Jen. Von Lessel, commanding German forces, had l>een agreed upon for commander in chief. The Chinese were strongly entrenched at Wang- Tsun A dispatch from China says that the allies are advancing to Pekin. KM K ICY AN I» SIBLEY. Two years ago Venango connty. elect ed Joseph Sibley. Free Silver Democrat, to Congress. The other countit-9 in the district gave Charles W Stone, the Re publican nominee and one of the Re publican leaders at Washington, a small majority, but Venango county gave Sibley 8000 majority and that elected him. Sibley went to. Washington and short ly after appeared at Harrisburg, where he was accused of trying to Induce Democratic members of the Legislature to vote for M. S. Quay for U. S. Sena tor, and after that on the floor of the Holism at Washington he stripped him self of Democratic garments and an nounced a complete change of heart, but he did not resign his office, as he was in honor bound to do, and now by the grace of Quay and the Standard Oil Co. he is the regular Republican nomi nee of that district for Congress. The Independent Republicans of the district have nominated Lewis Emery. Jr. of Bradford, the Democrats will make no regular nomination, and a bat tie royal will follow between Sibley and Emery; both of whom are millionaires, popular in their home counties and shrewd politicians. Mr. Bion H. Butler, the versatile cor respondent of the Pittsburg Times gives some idea of the situation there, as fol lows: — i The Twenty-seventh Congressional district has entered upon one of the most interesting campaigns that will be made anywhere in the United States this year, and one of the most unique that has ever been known any place. I The district is pecular in its construction which gives it a prominence, in that respect, because, except for the small county of Cameron, it is composed of counties on the oil belt. That makes the local wants of the district peculiar to it alone, no other Congressional dis trict in the United States finding, in the production of petroleum, such a single and predominating industry. Then arrayed against each other two well known oil men. Lewis Emery. Jr., formerly a State senator from this dis trict, and Joseph C. Sibley, at present the representative of the Congressional district. The parallel between the cafeers of the two candidates js surpris ing. Sibley was a boy in a New \ork village, not far from the oil country frontier. Emery conies from a country village not far from Sibley's home, and likewise in New York State. Each came into the oil district in Venango county. Emery along Oil creek, Sibley to Franklin, a few miles below. Each has risen to prominence as a producer and manufacturer of oil, and as a citizen, politician and business man. Both have gained great wealth. Each is a representative man in his community Each is identified with the many things that go to adyance the prospects of his community. Both enjoy the reputations of being public spirited. Both have thrived from their own efforts. Each man has been a pioneer along certain lines of the oil trade. But the parallel does not end there. Mr. Sibley is a man of pecular political experiences. He has stood for various docrines, and while he is running as a Republican now, he is serving a term for which he was elected as a Democrat. Mr. Emery has been a Republican in the past, but he, to has some new affiliations, and he is now the candidate of the Democrats. The Republicans are now shouting for Sibley, the late Democrat, and the Democrats are offering their praises on behalf of Emery, the Republican. Sibley's varie gated career includes being elected to Congress at on time, in a district not his own. While he lived in Franklin he was sent to Congress from Crawford countv. He was chosen as a compound of Prohibitionist, Greenbacker, Populist and all the other factors that make up a kicker. While in Congress he was referred to by C. W. Stone the repre senting the Twenty-seventh district, as "my constituent," which be was, for he lived in Stone's district. It is a com plicated tangle. If Sibley is elected this Fall he will succeed as a Republican by defeating a Republican who runs as a Democrat. In the same district lie ran as a Democrat and defeated a Republi can, after serving in the houat? from another district, elected as a fusionist. The '"mix-up" is interesting, but it is only the beginning of the complications that arise, ami which would be a couieily, were it not that the element of war which it foreshadowed, has nothing about it so humorous as it is serous. Emery is a politican who has had exper ience of the most exciting kind, for in his whole career as a member of the Legislature a nd the State Senate, his campaigns have been made on a far more intense basis than mere political division of opinion. Whatever the Standard Oil company'may appear to the rest of the world, in the oil region it is the octopus that the political orator of one kind loves to talk about. From the New York state line to the extreme southern end of Venango county, the Standard has been.held up as the heredi tary foe of the children in the oil country nurseries, and they are bred to spit out the taste of the word every time they utter it. This field was the home of the Independent producer, and the indepen dent producer breathes a hatred of the Standard everytime he inflates his lungs. While demonstrations have not been emphatic in recent years, the ancient inhabitants of Bradford tell weird tales of the days when the ghosts us to walk the streets threatening the pipe line offices, the oil tanks and the "Era" J rinting office, which paper was reputed to be the organ of the oil company. The ghosts were men clad in long white disguises, and would suggest to the spectator the Kuklus of reconstruc tion (lays, except that being in a more enlightened section of the country, the ghosts contented themselves with ap pearing at night, making threatening bluffs, recommending the use of "forty quarts," meaning 40 quarts of nitro glycerin to demolish the objectionable institution. Those days are past, but the feeling towards the Standard in the oil country is revived, if it ever slept, by the announcement of Emery's candid acy. In all of his oilier campaigns Mr. Emery stood for the independent, as opposed to the Standard, which was accused of taking a hand in politics. The fights between Emery and h* opponents were very bitter, and as Emery is an excellent fitjbt er, they were exciting. They involved the community politically socially, in a business way, and in all conceivable manners. This promises to be revived in the Sibley-Emery cam paign. Already Mr. Emery is hailed throughout the district as the bearer of the banner of independence, and bistling at trusts, in his speech of acceptance, is taken by the people of the district to mean war upon trio Standard, and his friends are enthused accordingly. Beyond that Emery is, by the logic of events, accepted by the ele ment as a rallying force for the Republi cans who refuse to be indentitied with what they term a Quay effort, and to add to the tangles of the situation that will come tip. It is plain that there are plenty of causes for a general declaration of war in the district, and for the rallying of the armies, and with a vigorous fighter like Emery, there is no question of the earnestness of battle. But Sibley is n tighter likewise. A man who can go in to a neighlioring district and enrry it by fusion against its normal inclination, and who can coin" then into his own district and carry it as of the minority party and svlro then has the nerve and the ability to change his politics in the middle of his term and capture the Republican nomination, is no novice in political warfare, and Sibley will make it interesting for any man who has the temerity to engage him politically. Mr. Emery is a man of remarkable popularity in his home town of Bradford. He came up here from the lower country at the beginning of the development, and being one of the pio neers of th«! field, largely responsible fur Its opening, and one of the first of the oil men to settle in Bradford, he has been instrumental in helping to build 'the city. He is a good "mixer," not only in politics, but socially, and that has proven to his benefit. Early in his experience he built a refinery to work up the oil he produced, aud later he has embarked in other branches o£business, so that he is an extensive employer of labor. His policy toward his men has always been liberal and his consider ation for then reached beyond the j>ay roll, P" that his reputation in that direction affords him strength. Yet in this respect the two men are similar again. Mr. Sibley is a manufac turer of oil products and in that capaci ty lias a large pay roll. He is a man of pleasing address, and knowledge of the world, and has a popularity where he is best acquainted that adds to the interest that must be felt in the battle. Al though a man whose party has been dif ficult to locate for more than a short time at once, Sibley has made friends with the veterans of the civil war by his success in attending to their pension claims, and he has friends among them. And so it goes. In the queer combina tion everything seems at sixes and sevens, and eacn man and each condi tion is largely at variance with what it should be. Getting Emery into the fight was one of the surprises of the campign. For several years he has been devoting his time to his work and to the care of his health. Interests in the West have claimed his attention, and when Mr. Sibley was nominated by the Republicans of the district, Mr. Emery I was in California. The Democrats were exceedingly sore at Sibley for his deser tion of them, and they cast about for a man to defeat him. Names were men tioned. but none seemed to be so avail able and hopeful as that of Emery. His experience in politics, his relations to the producing interest, his personal acquaintance in the district, and his enthusiasm in a campaign appealed to the Democrats and he was approached with an invitation to enter the field. His closest friends advised him not to enter tain the idea, but the sentiment increas ed, and finally petitions were prepared from the different sections of the coun try, and it is said, by his friends who have the matter in hand, that betweeu 4,000 and 5,000 Republicans of the Con gressional district signed petitions ask ing Mr. Emery to be an independent candidate against Mr. Sibley. A reception was given Mr. Emery when he came from California, and the people of Bradford unite in saying that no citizen of the town ever received such an ovation. Trains came from every direction carrying enthusiasts, and an ardent Sibley man, speaking of it, says that he was proud of the demon stration, and proud of Emery that he was so enthusiastically received. Trie petition and the sincerity shown, en couraged Mr. Emery to consider the ap peal of his friends, and against his in tention he consented to become a can didate, and to take up what he says is one of the fights of his life, although he has had others. "I am not going into it with any notion that it is to be a pic nic," he remarked. "I have full know ledge of the means and the forces that are to be encountered. I know that every expedient familiar to political war fare will have to be faced, and that the fight will be contested at every turn by skilled warriors equipped with all the munitions of battle." POLITICAL. Referring to the Lebanon county case an exchange says: I 'On thing the machine leaders should appreciate from the outset in this cam paign is that fraudulent nominations will surely invite revolution and often defeat. The people simply won't sub mit to being cheated in primary elec tions either by false returns or by the insolence of political power. The spirit of independence is abroad in lioth city and State; and the best way to insure the safety of nomination candidates is to make the nominations so clean and honest that none can question them.

Have you heard the legend of th - old Middlesex spring'.' How, a hundred years ago, it broke up a whiskey ring? They began building a distillery where now stands the church. And suddenly the spring ran dry and they were left in the lurch. They bewailed their ill lnck and sadly went away. And in a few months the water came back, and came back to stay. Then the good people sent up a joyous shout, And said the ways of Providence were past finding out. They built a church the third one stands there today: They have been the means of leading many sinners into the straight and narrow way. God moves in a strange way we cannot comprehend. All things work together for good and come out right in the end. For Centuries the pure water has flowed from under the old hill In Centuries to come it will be flowing still. For a Century the church people have drank from the old spring. And told the strange legend of the broken whisky ring. The first church was built of round logs and had a puncheon floor; It also was graced with a puncheon door. The second was built of hewed logs, which they thought was grand. Now a large brick on the same ground does stand. Not one of those hardy pioneers are living now they have gone to their reward. Many are sleeping closeby in the old churchyard. The children worship there as their fathers did of old; And drink the pure water that flows so clear and cold. And the faithful pastors that once there broke the bread of life. Now dwell in Heaven, free from this world of iStj'fe. May the present faithful pastor words of joy and comfort bring. May his life be as bright ss the waters of the old Middlesex spring. ALEX M. HAYS. AT MONZA, Italy, King Humbert was assassinated last Saturday evening. The King had been attending a distribu tion of prizes in connection with a gym nastic competition, and had jest enter ed his carriage, with his aide-de-camp, amid the cheers of the crowd, when he was shot by three revolver shots fired in quick succession. < >ne pierced his heart and he fell back and expired in a few minutes. The Italian, Bressi. who shot King Humbert, worked in a silk mill in Pat terson, N. J. up to May last, and was selected by a gang on anarchists to do the job. A TKI.KSO ii'K was recently being tested at the Bansch iV Loinb Optical Works, at Roehester, N.

John Gailey. pastor of the Fourth United Presbyterian church of Pittsburg, and one of the most widely known ministers in Western Pennsyl vania. irrespective of denomination, died very suddenly shortly after noon last Friday in his room at the Pittsburg Home hotel, where he had made his home for the past six year» The slight ailment from which he had suffered for several days had not sufficiently prepar ed his friends for such a sudden demise, and his death was a severe shock to many people. He was born in Westmoreland county. Pa., in 1H42, and was the son of Rev. Richard Gailey, a prominent and well respected divine of the United Presby terian church. He attended the schools of Westmoreland county, and after ac quiring the rudiments of an education there, entered Franklin college. He graduated from that institution in 1801, shortly after the war of the rebellion was precipitated.
