THE CHINESE WAR.
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. Telegram from gov
ernor of Shan Tung addressed to con
sular l>ody, Che Foo, says
" "Imperial edict states that various
ministers except German are well and
provisions have l>eeu supplied.' "
Rome. 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.

the job.
A TKI.KSO ii'K was recently being
tested at the Bansch iV Loinb Optical
Works, at Roehester, N. Y , ami it was
turned on a bridge and the observer saw
a young man take a tub of butter from
a wagon and conceal it. The police
were telephoned to and the thief was
captured as he was attempting to carry
away his prize a few hours later. This
is an interesting use of the telescope.

Centre county began her Centennial t
j Celebration at Bell, fonte. last Wednes- !
I day, on a very rainy day. which caused ,
' a postponement of the raecs. thoueh the
j parade took place and some speeches
j were made.
1 The Celebration, however was a great
' success.
At Mansfield, O, Tuesday, some faith
j curists were stripped and painted by a
I mob. *
The County Commissioners of Law
j rence county have refused to pay a bill
of *-',300 (for work on the Blevins case,
to a detective agency, though the court
favored its payment.
j The friends in Grove City of Rev.
I Frank C. Simcox and wife, both of
j whom were graduates of the College,
j greatly deplore their murder in China.
An attempted escape from the West
ern Penitentiary in Allegheny was dis
covered last week.
Some months ago some nu-n bought a
house on Sterling St. opposite the wall
of the Penitentiary, and then dug a tun
nel from the cellar of the house across
1 Sterling St. and under Refuge St. and
" the penitentiary wall, to a point in the
yard, directly under a large stone pile.
( The tunnel was about UOO feet long.
. The ground from it was piled in the
, cellar, and whenever any unusual
, noise had to lv made in the house, a
I young lady played the piano.
> The parties who dug the tunnel left
[ suddenly. Suspicion was directed to
the house by some trifling incident, and
the police made fin examination and
found the tunnel. It cost a large sum,
I and the prisoners for whose benefit it
was dug failed (probably on account of
t not l.oing put to work at the stone
r pile) to take advantage of it.

OBITUARY NOTES.
REV. JOHN GAILEY.
Rev. 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. When he left college,
he immediately enlisted in an Ohio
regiment as a private of infantry and
served during the greater part of the
war. His studies in ,theology, which
he had begun, were prosecuted as soon
as he returned from the army, and ho
finally- graduated from Allegheny
Theological seminary in 1800. While
in the seminary he had been licensed to
preach by Monongahela presbytery,
and immediately upon his graduation
he was ordained by the presbytery of
Butler to which he had bee;i demitted.
Rev. Mr. Gailey's first charge after
his ordination was the Butler United
Presbyterian congregation, in whose
church building the ceremony had been
performed. The ordination was per
formed April 24. 1800. lie remained
with the butler church until December
20, 1871, when he resigned the pastorage
to take a trip which lasted for several
months.
A sad death was that of Mrs. Maggie
Frishkorn, wife of John Frishkorn at
their farm house in Jackson township
on lost Sunday morning. The deceased
was 20 years and 3 months old and
leaves a husband and two small dattgh
ters, the youngest but two weeks old.
Her death was caused by a diet of new
potatoes and encumbers. The funeral
was held Tuesday morning from the
German Lutheran Church. The ser
vices were conducted by her pastor,
Rev. Bntz. Interment was made in the
Zolienople cemetery. —Valley News
John Clark Ridpath, one of the great
est historians the world has ever seen,
