On Friday last the reported captun of the town of Yang Tsnn by the alliei was confirmed. The losses of the allie were put at 1,130 —nearly all Russian: and Japanese. Yang Tsnn is about 17 miles fron Tien Tsin, and is on the Peiho at th< point where the railroad to Pekin crosses It Is an important point, as from it tw< lines of advance are open to th< capital, one along the Peiho by crdinan road and the other by railroad. Botl lines are likely to be nsed. Pekin ii about •'SO miles from Yang Tsnn. The allies were concentrating at Yanj Tsnn and expected to renew their marcl for Pekin in the 15th, with 50,000 men The Chinese were reported to be flood ing the country beyond Peitsang. The British were landing troops at Shangai, and Li Hung Chang talkee tween Russia and China. The British continued to land troops at Shanghai, to protect their interests in the Yangtse valley, though the Viceroy? joined in a note to the other govern ments to stop it. The allied army along Pei Ho was suffering from the extreme heat, and numerous deaths from sun stroke were reported. A Berlin paper stated that Great Britain, Russia. Austria and Italy agreed upon Court Waldersee of Germany foi Commander in chief of the allied forces in China, but the rumors of discords among the Powers which are at present acting together in China have not been authoritatively contradicted by any ol their Governments, and they have been only mildly deprecated in reputedly aeini official organs, all which tends to iuak< them credible. Already there are many symptoms that the present concord among the Powers will not surviv much beyond the relief of the legations. The British pretentions to a species oi exclusive hegemony of the Yangtse Valley is viowed with increasing jeal ousy by more than one other of tht European Powers, and by none mort than France which on account of the concessions for railways into the prov R ince south of the Si-kiang and into Yun nan and Sze-chuen from the French In do-China processions, claims a right equally with England to exercise n military anrveillance over the Yangtist river. The fact is that despite of tht protestations of certain of the Euro pear Powers of their territorial disinterested ness, partition is in the air. In an interview in London Andj Carnegie was quoted as follows: "The release of Minister Conger and s demand for compensation for injuries incurred are duties incumbent upon tht government; bat the United States, ir my opinion, should take no steps in con junction with European powers. I tak» this view because each or those power? has separate interests at heart. "Great Britain is going to land troopi to protect Shanghai because she looki upon the Yang-tee valley as her specia province. Rassia keeps her chief forcei in Manchuria. France is in another reg ion, and Germany in a fourth. The firsi aim of each of these powers is to safe guard their prospective demands and i: the United States should be drawn int< joint action with them, the Washingtoi ' government may even find itself ple Accomplish a peaceable deliverance. • We are ready to enter into an agree -fnent between the powers and the Chi | nese government for a cessation of hos i tile demonstration on condition that a sufficient body of the forces composing the relief expedition shall be permitted to enter Pekin unmolested and to escort th» foreign ministers and residents back to Tien Tain, this movement being pro vided for and secured by such arrange ments and dispositions of troops as shall be considered satisfactory by the general commanding the forces composing the relief expedition. Alvey A. Adee. "Acting Secretary. The text of this reply was telegraphed to the representatives of the United States for communication to the govern ments of the powers co-operatiug in the relief movement. The British Consul at Canton received the following message, dated August «. from Sir Claude Mac Donald, British Minister in Pekin "Onr situation here is desperate. In ten days onr food supply will be at an end. Unless we are relieved a general massacre is probable. The Chinese offer to escort us to Tien Tsin. but. remem bering Cawnpore. we refuse the offer. There are over 200 European women and children in this legation. " At the Chinese Legation, in Berlin, the correspondent of the Associated Pre ss was informed that the Em press Dowager had declared her Inten tion to leave Pekm and to transfer her conrt to another city before the allied forces reached the capital. Lu-Hai- Honan. the Chinese Minister there »n learning this intention, telegraphed to both the Empress Dowager and the Em peror not to leave Pekin. but quietly to await the arrival of the international forces. On Tuesday, dispatches from Peking dated Aug. bth. said that fanatics were yet attacking the legations, also that Prince Tuan, and a hundred high offi cials had left the city; and that the cap ture of Yang-Tsun was causing a gener al exodns. Negotiations were preceding in China between the Imperial Govern ment and the commanders of the Euro pean forces to arrange conditions for handing over the foreigners now in Peking to the allied army. The point where the transfer should be made was still in dispute, the question being whether it should take place inside or outside the wall of Peking. Immediately the safety of the foreign er* in Peking is assured Li Hung-Chang will offer terms of settlement of the whole difficulty, giving full reparation to the Powers, especially Germany, in - eluding indemnity and exemplary punishment of all the officials, both military and civil, who have been res ponsible for the outrages. POLITICAL. At Towanda last Thursday the Brad ford County Republican Convention nominated a complete anti-Quay ticket and passed resolutions scoring Gov. Stone for the manner in which the af fairs of state have been conducted, es pecially with reference to vetoing con stitutional amendments proposed, cut ting down the school appropriation and not enforcing the oleomargarine law. The administration of Presi dent Mc Kin- ley is indorsed. The convention was one of the largest and most enthusiastic since 1890. The Democratic State Senatorial con ferees met at Kittanning, Tuesday and yesterday, bnt did nothing, not even fix the time for next meeting. The Repnb lican State Senatorial Conferees will meet in Bntler, next Friday week. / Ex-RepuDlican Congressman J. C. Stnrtevantof the Crawford-Erie district (the 2Gth) in an interview published in Wednesday's Pittsburg Times reviews Sibley's erratic and extraordinary polit ical career and says the compact between him and Quay includes the Governor ship in 1902 and U. S. Senatorship in 1905. The whole articlelis worth read ing and Mr. Sturtevant concludes it as follows. ' 'And bear in mind that I did not suf fer politically at Mr. Sibley's hands. I defeated him. He did not defeat ine. But I am so familiar with his methods, his debauchery of the morals of the com munity, his entire lack of political prin ciple and his trickery that I am com pelled to speak freely. The people of our district know him the roughly; and that he could not be elected the second time, although he was three times a candidate, shows how they have his measure. I have not talked with any Democrats or Republicans since he was nominated who do not say that if he were in this district again he would not get their votes. I think that same senti ment prevails largely in the other dis tricts, and that it was the means of bringing Emery out. The Emery move ment is more than a passing sentiment. It is the desperate uprising of the people against a corrupting demagogue and against a political outrage upon the State and Nation "Col. Quay is sacrificing everything for his own hopeless ambition. He is ruining the prospects of the Legislature in his selfish endeavor to force the candi dates to be elected as Quay men to save him in his campaign for the senate. He is forcing npon the Twenty-seventh dis trict a nondescript political trickster, who will do more to foster political and moral degeneracy in the district than any other man in pnblic life. He is sac rificing the self-respect of the National Guard and threatening the efficiency of the organization that he may bolster up his political fortunes with the sale of offices. He is bringing into nati rial legislation the mostdangerousand power ful corporation influences that exist in the world. All this that he may serve his own end. lam sorry to say It, but Quay shonld have withdrawn from the fight when he failed in the Legislature. What he asks is too costly a price for the people of the State and of the Nation to pay. If ha insists on forcing this battle on the people, the first step taken should be the defeat of Sibley in the Twenty seventh district, that his pernicious standing in politics may l>e weakened, and the whole scheme of barter and sale effectually blocked." At York, last Thursday, R. C. Bair, anti-Quay, was elected Chairman of the Republican County Committee after a bitter struggle. Good Place Per a Park. MK. EDITOR —Now that the street car seems to be assured we hear a good deal said about a Park. Bntler should now have a Park, says almost every one. But where is there a good place for one'.' asks almost every one. It is true that good locations about Bntler for a l'ark are rather scarce, in the matter of water or water falls. Bnt the other day one was brought to the notice of the writer that might answer the purpose ami make a plaee of favorite resort. Mile Run, abont a mile south of town, is formed by three smaller runs that meet on the land of now Mr. Humes, and meet not far from where the dynamite works stood. These three runs flow from springs qf the best of water and where they meet is a kind of amphi theater. or circle, making a fine level liottom of several acres, surrounded on three sides by hills, and on the fourth side a dam could be constructed t hat would make a lake of water of sufficient depth to answer all the modern pleasure demands. To any one interested in the Park object we would say go anil Ik at this location, abont a half mile up Criswell road from where Plank road crosses said Mile Run. S. AT the annual encampment of the (»rnu again, did not trou ble Elkin in the least. He happened to need 20 members at that stage of his calculations, and the loyal Republican thing to do was to steal them from the Democrats. With the same lack uf consideration for the enemy's property rights, he credits Erie's three members to Quay, though Dr. Brooks, Democrat, who carried the Central Erie district two years ago, has been renominated. Lackawanna's well-known Democratic district is likewise ruthlessly despoiled of its members. Chester's four and Blair's two are credited to Quay without reference to the fact that both sent fusion delega tions to the last session, and strong fusion movements are afoot in each county this year. Throughout the statement are numer ous evidences, such as given above, that its distinguished compiler first fixed npon his totals and then made the other figures to fit. committing grand larceny on about :i0 Democratic mem bers and making up the deficit from the ranks of well-known anti-Quayites Opinion -is divided as to whether Elkin's figures were put out merely as a hot-weather diversion, or whether he really thought to hoodwink the anti machine people into revealing the sources of their strength by way of reply. Tlie Standard in Politic*. The Standard Oil influence seems to be potent in Pennsylvania politics, and its power is not limited by partisan lines. The most flagrant, indefensible and con spicuous recognition of its power that has yet been exhibited was in the ap pointment of General Charles Miller, of Venango county, as major general of the National Guard of this State over the heads of experienced officials who had served up to the position which Miller had not. Tht t appointment, which places the National Guard of Pennsylvania as completely under the control of the Standard Oil influence as it would be if John D. Rockefeller were its commander-in-chief, was made by Republican Governor William A. Stone. Governor Stone has never informed the public of the reasons which led him to place the National Guard of Pennsylva nia under the command of a Standard Oil representative, but the public will form its own conclusions on this subject The Standard arm reaches into the Democratic camp as well. The Venan go Spectator, for half a century the Democratic organ of Venango county, and under the editorship of the veteran Whitaker, one of the ablest and most aggressive Democratic journals in Penn sylvania, has deserted the Democratic cause in the Twenty-seventh Congres sional district, and is supporting Sibley. Standard Oil and Republican candidate, for Congress. Sibley and Miller arr partners in business, and thus it seems that this partnership can dominate n Repnblican Governor and a Democratic newspaper with equal facility, and that while the Standard has use for a good deal of Ipolitics in its business, it is ready to seek the assistance of Republi cans, Democrats, Populists and even Prohibitionists, for General Miller pose as a Prohibitionist. There is little doubt that the Standard engages in politics on the same- plan that Jay Gould did when he controlled the destinies of the Erie Rail WHY. Before an investigating committee Gould testified that in applying politic:) to further the interests of Erie he was a Democrat in Democratic and a Repub lican in Republican counties, and al ways and everywhere he was for Erir. It may be assumed that the Standard's ambition to control the Pennsylvania National Guard through a Republican Governor, and to elect a Congressman who has been a member of every party he ever heard of, by the aid of a subsid ized Democratic organ is inspired solely by a love of the Standard and its inter eats rather than a desire to serve th<- public, and this should lead the peopl«* of Pennsylvania, regardless of party, to ask themselves whether it is wis« to give the Standard control of both the civil and military power of the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania The standard is a mighty corporation, and it pays enormous dividends to a few stockholders, but are the seven millions of Pennsylvanians, most of whom are not Standard stockholders, ready to become hewers of wood and drawers of water to this greedy and unscrupulous corporation?

Pity the sorrows of a bob-tail horse' Whose trembling limbs have borne him to your door, His r.kin ts tortured with the August Hies. Oh, give him back the switching tail of yore. How would you like to have your arms chopped off And lasses smeared all over your shin ing head, Then entered into a swarm f the standing of the guard at present and of the military ability of Gen. Miller, with the highest favor. The appointment savors much of the ability of Gov. Stone to drag the appointments in the jruard into the mire of politics. Gen. Gobin intimates that Miller is without military qualifications or military experience. He has risen into prominence as a militarv man by his dncats accumulated in the oil trade Gen. Snowden. the late commander, was a democrat and a skilled military man. If he was to be turned down. Gen Gobin. the senior brigadier, a staunch Quayite, but a man of military experience was entitled to the place He urged Snowden's reappointment and did not wish the position for himself if his former comrade could be retained. The appointment looks as though it was dictated by Quay to assist Mr. Sibley in his congressional fight this year, for he. like Quay. will need all the assistance he can obtain. Mr. Sibley also expects the support of the machine by reason of his efforts to induce the democrats to support Quay for senator. Miller's appointment certainly means that the commissions in the National Guard are to be used for machine pur poses, and we predict that few anti- Quayites will lie appointed while he is in command This act of Gov. Stone is the beginning of the demoralization of the corps and will lead to the disintegration 01 our efficient military organization, which until the present time has been zealous ly guarded from political interference. —Grove City Reporter.

IWe have ceased to be a debtor nation \ and have become largely a creditor. The immense balance of trade in our j favor has made Europe our annual | debtor by hundreds of millions, and to j day our national bonds command higher ] prices than the securities of any other j country. i We have had a very pointed and posi | live illustration of the character of our notional credit in the recant award of an : English loan of €10,000,000. The sub i scriptions for the loan aggregated £2O, ; WO,<>oo, and the major part of the aub , scription mu.it have come from th<- , United States, as £5,000,000, being more it ban one-half the entire loan, were ' awarded to American subscribers. j This is a revolutionary departure in the i financial attitude of the United State ; and places ns in the forefront nt th'- 1 credit nations of the world. The bonds of the United States yield i only from two and one-half per cent • down to as low as one and a half per I cent, to the holders, while the English ! bonds, so largelj' taken by United States '< bidders, yield over three and a half per i cent There is an income tax on Eng- I lish national securities, but it is repaid | to foreign holders of the bonds. The David A. Agnew Family. Probably but few of our people will j recollect Mr. David A. Agnew and I family a.s former citizens of this place. ' Mr. Agnew came to Butler about 183t> from one of the eastern counties of thi:. ! State. He was a tailor by trade and i carried on that business here quite ! successfully, and also took an active i part in local and business affairs. He married Mary Beatty. one of the dangh i ters of the Hon. William Beatty. one of \ the then leading men of Butler. Short ' ly after he was appointed Postmaster j here and held that office from 1845 to 11840, under the administration of Presi dent Polk. In 1855 he removed with his family to Stevens Point, a town in north ern Wisconsin. Recently a friend hand ed us a copy of the "Stevens Point Daily Journal," of date <>f July 26 last, which contains an account of a reunion of the family and af it may be of interest to sonic of our citizens we publish it: "An enjoyable reunion of the children and grandchildren of the late Mrs. Mary Beatty Agnew was held to-day at the Agnew homestead The old house which was built by David A. Agnew in lSst>, still stand "at the back ot the lot where it was moved to make room for a modern residence. All the sons and daughters of David and Mary Agnew were present, with the exception of William B. the eldestoftbe family, whose dnt : cs in connection with the construction work on the Centra) kept him away. The sonsand daughters present were: Mrs. Frances A. Pine of Pottstown, Pa.; Mrs. James J. Cone of Canon City, Col; Mr. A. J. Agnew of Detroit,Mich.; Mrs Eliza J. Leadbetter, Miss Matilda B. Agnew and Mr. David A. Agnew of Stevens Point. Among other members of the family present were Mr. Jas J. Cone, Mrs Wui. B. Agnew, Mrs. D. A. Agnew, and Mrs. Chas. Bedfield. of, Minneapolis. There was eleven grandchildren and two great grandchildren present, three generations being seated around the table at the family dinner, which was served at 12 o'clock. Tlie afternoon was pleasantly spent in reminiscences of the early days in Ste vens Point. David A. Agnew was one of the pioneers of this city, having brought his family here in May, 1855, from Butler. Pennsylvania, where there are still residing connections of the fam ily. The older members of the Agnew family have grown up with Stevens Point, and recall the various changes that have come to our city in the half century of its history. " Fairview Facts.

A CAIiEFUL inquiry recently made by the New York Zoological Society re veals the startling fact that throughout thirty States and Territories the de crease in the volume of bird life during the 1 ast fifteen years has reached an average of forty-six per cent. The de crease iu the number of edible birds has ever been greater than that, and a num ber of our finest syecies are now ap proaching practical extinction and many of onr song birds are being killed for food. The sportsman has long realized the need of protective measures, but the farmer has only recently learned to ap preciate the full value of birds as iusect destroyers Cheap guns, lax laws, the mania for collecting and shooting, and more especially the enormous demands for the market and millinery trade, are responsible for this reduction in bird life The protection of birds is a nat ional not a local question: it deals large ly with migratory species which breed iu one section, winter in another, and traverse several state's in passing to and from the bleeding ground. There are 1,125 species and sub-species of birds inhabitating North America north of Mexico, and of these only about 200 or 18 per cent can be considered game birds. From this will be seen the im portune# of protecting birds other than 1 game birds. As an instance of the lack of uniformity in the State laws take the common dove, for example; in twelve states it is protected at all times, in Dineteen at certain times, while in the others it has no protection at all.

One thousand dollars of the money which ho had stolen r.as recovered. Ferrell was to have been married Thursday next to Lillian Costlow, a daughter of Patrick Costlow, an engi neer on the Pennsylvania lines. He had been discharged from the employ of the Adams Express company about three weeks and had not since been able to secure employment. He confessed that the motive of the robbery was to secure money of which he felt in great need on account of his approaching marriage. The money recovered he had given to Miss Costlow to keep for him. saying that it was money he had saved from his earnings. He was at the home of his aflinnced and in her coin ganv when placed under arrest History oi' Concord Church. A reunion was held at Concord, on the Bth inst.. between the mother church and all of her offspring. The history of Concord Presbyterian church is an interesting one. Aliout the Ist of August. 17!)!). Rev. McFerrin, a pioneer preacher called together a handfull of curly settlors of Concord and vicinity and preached to them under an oak tree near the site of the present church, this was the beginning of Presbyterianisin in the northern part of the county. Rev. McFerrin organized a church n year or two later and called it Concord, he con tinned to be the pastor for 25 years or until 1822. The next year Rev. John Coulter was called to be the pastor at a salary of $20.00 per year, one-half to he paid in cash ami the balance in grain to be delivered to the nearest mill he con tinned to break the bread of life faith fnllj' nntil 1 Ml! I or a period of II years. The following year Rev. J. 11. Marshall was called to take up the work and so continued until death called him away in 1889 or a period covering 25 years; ■ thns the three faithfnl pioneer ministers preached the word of Hod in Concord for 00 years. Rev. J. H Wright follow ed Rev. Marshall, but was called to his reward after preaching only one year. In the fall of 1801 the present pastor. 1 Rev. R L. Alter, took up the work. 1 The church has a membership of altout 250. She is the mother of six olive i branches. The first of these to have seen the light of day was Pleasant j Valley, she was born in 1845 and al , though 55 years old her natural powers 1 arc unabated, she haa 80 communicants. | Two years later or in 1817 her second i daughter was born, she was called New I Salem, she has renewed her youth since Rev. Alter has been feeding her with j spiritual pabulum and her children , number 110. In 1848 another swarm | came from the mother hive and Hew j over to Oakland township, located in a grove and was christened North Butler, her honey-makers number about 70. The mother church had a rest for 12 years, then another daughter was born in 1800, she was named Sunbury, she has been working for the Master for 40 years and has 100 members. In 1875 the old church christened her flth daughter, Fairview, this child is only 25 years old, but she has 75 faithful mem tiers. The youngest and one of the fair est of all the daughters was born on the IHtli day of May, 1880, and is just of man iagcable aice, Rev. Decker named her North Washington, she started in life with 2:! members, but now she has 140, who are trying to serve the Master. These datight ra are all fair to look upon, they are imbued with the spirit of their mother Concord. There has never been any strife nor discord in the big family and with one accord they are doing the Master's work, they com prise the Presbyterians of twelve town ships. On the Bth inst. the daughters met to give the old lady a bonse warm ing. they found her in the best of health and as sprightly and joyous as in her youthful days. Rev. Decker who has had matrimonial alliances with four of the daughters presided at the meeting and attested to the factthat their family relations were always happy. Rev. Miller prayed for the aged mother and all her assembled children, then Detrner Knhn gave an address of welcome which made us all feel at home. Samuel Glenn and Rev. Mr. Jacobs of Detroit gave words of advise and cheer. The children all bid the mother a happy good-bye and promised to make her another visit in 1901. O. P. PISOR, Secretary. A Birthday Party.

After an address by the chairman and others and thanks of Mr. Duerr. the company retired to the dinner room, and after invoking the blessing of Him who had provided the bounteous repast, the company proceeded to enjoy the good things prepared. With social commun ion, listening to graphone, and music by Miss Lizzie and Mr. Fred Wilkewitz. the hours sped on golden wings, until the company was compelled to separate.
