CHRISTY. a POLITICAL. Sept. sth—Next Wednesday is the last day for assessment and registration Tuesday, Nov. 6 is election day. The Butler-Armstrong senatorial con ferees met at the Lowry House Butler, last Friday, with a host of friends of both candidates present, to<£ a large number of ballots, and then adjourned to meet at the 7th Ave. Hotel in Pitts burg, on Friday Sept. 7th. Neither candidate shows anv disposition to give way to the other. Mr. Williams claims the nomination as a matter of right; and Mr. McNees says it is a personal matter with him (as it undoubtedly is to both of them) and offers lo have another primary to settle the matter. The State rules require a conference nomination to bo made 55 days before the election and Sept. 7th rubs the last date pretty closely. The Democratic conferees of Beaver, Britler, Lawrence and Mercer met at the Leslie House, New Castle, Saturday and nominated M. L. Lock wood for Congress on the second ballot, county had a candidate as follows: Butler, _ M. L. Lockwood; Beaver, Dr. Stronss; Mercer, Prof. Hays of Grove City: Lawrence, J. Norman Martin. On the first ballot the delegates from each county voted for their own candi date. After the ballot was taken J. Norman Martin and Dr. Strouss with drew, leaving Lockwood and Hays in the field. On the second ballot Hays received five votes and Lock-wood seven. "Tiockwood was declared nominated and the convention adjourned. Ihe Vermont State election occurs next Tnesday. All assessors should be at their poll ing places on Tnesday and Wednesday of next week. The Democratic State Senatorial con ferees met at Kittanning, Tuesday, and nominated Jas. Gallagher of Freeport, present Sheriff of Armstrong Co. Thirty-first district Senatorial confer ence, composing Juniata, Mifflin and Perrv counties, met at Mifflinton. Tues , day. * James W. McKee of Perry was named on the second ballot. A resolu tion pledging the nominee to support the caucus nominee for United States Senator was defeated. More Significant Figures. The census returns give San Francisco a population of 342,182 this year, as against 298,997 in 1890. The actual in crease is but 43,785, little more than one half as much as that for the city of Pittsburg. The percentage of increase is only 14.64. In other words, the popu lation of Pittsburg is but 21,000 less than that of San Francisco, excluding Alle gheng and the boroughs, while the actual Pittsburg is nearly twice as large. Boston, with a total population of 560,- 892, against 448,477 in 1890, has made a gain of 25.07 percent. This is li per cent less increase than Philadelphia, and may be regarded as a fair rate. When compared with Pittsburg and Allegheny combined Boston is not much larger and with the big boroughs and McKeesport the score is about equal. It is such ; statistics as these which emphasize the folly of having Pittsburg divided into separate minor municipalities for census i purposes when it is one in interest. This fact will be continuously appa rent as the important cities are reported by the Census Bureau and may be even more prounced when the smaller munic ipalities of Allegheny county are re turned. It is everywhere conceded the heaviest rate of increase has been in these suburban towns. There is no use crying over spilt milk, of course, but the the demonstration is too plain to be ig nored for another ten years, even at the behest of the political authorities.— Dispatch. _ Lionizing D'Arcos. The Duke d'Arcos. minister to the United States from Spain, who went to Chicago to attend the G. A. R. encamp ment, was lionized from the time of his arrival, but the climax was Monday night, at the Iron brigade banqnet. As he sat at the banqueting table to the left of Toastmaster McConnell, his eyes opened with surprise when that gentle man rose and said: "Wejhavewith us to-night as a guest of honor a nobleman, who, I think, claims our admiration and esteem for ■jtibe—tact a nd delicacy and discretion with wßTfch he has filled the high office of ambassador from his coHntrv, with which we were so recently at war. "In an equally chivalrous spirit, I call upon this audience of men who have buried all the animosities of the past to rise and join me in drinking the health of the ambassador from the conrt of Spain, his grace, the Duke d'Arcos." Everybody was up and shouting. The glasses went high in the air with a mighty cheer. Gen. Bragg sprang for ward and drew from his coat a Spanish Hag,, which he waved. Mr McConnell caught it and shouted: "These will be our colors tonight." Then he wound them about the neck at the Duke d.Arcos. The latter's face was flushed. He trembled in every limb. When silence was finally restor ed, he bowed to the guests who had hon ored him and said: "I cannot speak well in English. I could make you a speech in Spanish, but I prefer to say a few words in your own language for your courtesy. I deeply appreciate the honor done me. because I know what the Iron brigade is and has been. My English does not carry me further. I thank you. I wont forget the Iron brigade." The cheering again was vociferous the windows of the biiu- could be heard the cannonad the mimic battle of Santiago 011 front. Perfect summer weather greeted the f second day of the G A. R. encampment and helped to swell the ranks of the great parade. More than 30,000 veter ans, representing 7,000 posts from every state in tne union, inarched in review before the commander-in-chief, and his staff for three solid hours. The line of march was short because of the age of the men who participated in it. Near ly every post of importance was repre sented. Preceded by a company of police the parade was led by Chief .Marshal Col. J. H. Wood and his staff of sides. THE CHINESE WAR. On Friday it was ;• rumored that, Russia, Germany i and Japan, were about to declare *var upon China, and on Saturday a dispatch from Shang hai said that the Japanese had captur ed the Chinese Emperor on his mad to Hsian-Fu, also that s/omo Chinese gen erals had been degt aded, committed suicide, etc. On Monday it was. persistently rumor ed in St. Petersburg that there had been a battle in Pekin aiSd that "the allies re treated. losing 1,80(0 men, mostly Rus sians. It was further said that the Chinese occnpieil fortified positions, from which they are bombarding the allies in a murderous manner." A from Tokio said Gen. a maguchi/i'eports that the Chinese haye not abajodoned hope of retaking Pekin, and tjmit 9,000 men with 15 guns were advancing toward Pekin from Shang Tung, probably intending to cut the allies' communications. The French Consul at Shanghai wired that Emperor Kwang Hsu and Prince Tuan are now in the province of Shan Si. A dispatch from London said "the allies, resuming aggressive operations, have taken the district west of Pekin. This statement, based on Chinese authority, is cabled from Shanghai. From the same place comes the state ment that Li Hung Chang has wired the empress dowager at Hsian Fu, request ing the arrest of Prince Tuan and the disarmament of the Boxers, in order to give him an opening for negotations with the powers. "Evidence has been received nere," says the Shanghai correspondent of the "Standard,", "going to show that Gen. Yung Lu was the real author of the anti foreign outbreak, the empress dowager, Prince Tuan and the others all having been persuaded by him to take an ex treme attitude, while he stood aside and awaited developments."' American refugee missionaries in Amoy are anxious to return to the inter ior; but the United States consul has forbidden them to do so, and urges them to go to the Philippines or to return to America. Shanghai advices say that consular 1 opinion there looks upon Japanese action in the landing of troops at Amoy. de spite the protest of tne consuls, as similar to that of Russia at New Chwang. the whole indicating a tendency to a parti tion of the empire. Officers who arrived ta Tien Tsin, lately, from Pekin report that General Chaffee, commanding the American forces in China, is making all the neces sary preparations to maintain 15,000 men through the winter. Fifteen of the American wounded, in cluding the marines wounded during the siege of the legations, have arrived at Tien Ttin by boat from Pekin. An Interesting Letter. Leo Gross, son of Charles Gross of 1507 Locust street, Allegheny, is a member of Company D, Ninth Infantry. He lias written his father an account of the bat tle of Tien-Tsin, in which he took part Incidentally he gives his opinion of the conduct of some of the allied troops. | The letter is dated Tien-Tsin, July 14, and was received by Mr. Gross an Thurs day last. The letter follows: "I guess by the time you receive this note yon will have heard about onr fir-'t battle, and it was fierce. I don't know but I think lam pretty lucky, as I did not receive a wound, although I was hit in the leg by pieces of shells bursting. I lost no blood, but our boys got it proper and the English and Japs suffered aw fully. Well, here goes to tell about my first time under fire. We landed in China July 7 and lay in the harbor three days. Then we moved up the river to the new city of Tien-Tsin and lay up in a building captured by the Germans It is about five miles from the old town. The night of the 12th three companies of us were ordered out on the right of the firing line with the United States marines, and English. French and Russians to hold the railroad station, which is about a mile from the Chinese, who had the eight-inch gun trained on us. "About 8 oclock on the morning of tne 13th. when we were eating breakfast, a shell lauded among us, and, sorry to say, it killed two of our boys, wounded seven, and the marines and English had three killed and eight wounded. We were or dered over to the left of the line to help hold the gate, and I don't see how we ever got away alive, for we were sur rounded. Colonel Liacum ordered a charge. We started with the Japs and the English followed We had gone about a hundred yards when our colors went down. The Colonel grabbed them and started to the front, and then it was that he got killed. About the same time Major Reagan and Captain Showfield got hit. We kept going, and ran out of ammunition, and they called for volun teers. The whole six companies res ponded: we got all we wanted, then started forward, with Lieutenant Law ton leading. He was very cool and brave. He was shot three times before j he gave up, and then he was cheering his men. "We got within a 100 yards of the wall, and were ordered to halt, for the Japs had got into the city. "Thefight lasted 24 hours, and in that time the loss to Americans was 96 killed and wounded and to all the allied forces was about 2,000 killed and wounded. The Chinese loss was about 50,000. We marched into the city on themorninif of the 15th, and it was and awful sight. The Chinese were piled five and six high—men women and children. We captured the arsenal, the mint full of silver and big guns to sell, but we are not allowed to take away anything. "You can talk about your Ger man army for bravery, but they did not dare to make a charge across the field: they are all right in a trench, but they never charged under the fierce fire of the Chinese. The Russians and French are about the Same, but the French refused to advance. The Japs are the best fight ers on earth. I know they could give us a good, hard fight. The English could not iet within 200 yards of us, and they were very kind and good to us. and their officers treat us tine. When we were carrying our wounded from the field the French refused us water, so you know what our boys think of them. "The English have the native troops of China, and also some from India. Well, they had to lash the Indians to the front. "I am feeling fine and am in good health." The McCall Reunion. The sixth annual reunion of the Mc- Call's was held at the home of Curtis Wick, near W. Sunbury, and was not only well attended, but well enjoyed by everyone present. Long before the noon hour, some five or six hundred smiling faces could be seen moving' about in the grove, which the Wick family had so neatly and comfortably prepared. Just before the people were called up on to pfertake of a meal that surely did credit to all the ladies that helped in its preparation, Rev. McDonald of Alle gheny offered a short prayer, after which a committee of 40 waited upon the company with such rarefies that no one could refuse. After dinner the meeting was called to order by Allen McCall. J. M. Painter welcomed everyone in a most pleasing manner, showing some of the many glories of our great Nation and refer ing to the friendly nature of those that were to entertain us. W. C. Findley responded with his usual easy manner that entertains as well as instructs all those those that hear him. Able ad dresses were made by John Coulter. A. G. Williams, Nelson H. Thompson. Rev. Breaden, Samuel Glenn and Howard Painter. Good music was furnished by the W. Sunbury band. The business meeting followed in which Josiah McCall w;is elected presi dent and Miss Fannie Wick, secretary. Late in the afternoon all departed fteling that the day was a happy one and wishing a long life to the McCalls and their reunions. SECRETARY. A Chinese Census. For two and a half centuries the tail has been wagging the dog in the Celes tial Empire. The ruling dynasty Man chnrian, the Emperor and those dictat ing in his nann*. representatives of a minority, of say, eight millions in a total of four hundred millions. How many people there are in China can, however, no more be stated ap proximately with ordinary presump tion as a basis, than it can definitely with anything official to go upon. It is true that in 1842 the Pekin authorities issued, what they termed, an official statement of the population by provin ces. Forty years later, or in 1882, there was another publication, ostensibly going into detail after the usual census fashion. But the inconsistencies, incon gruities and general hap-hazard manner characterizing these emanations, stamp ed them upon a par with all the utteran ces which the Chinese official succeeds in inducing himself to father. He views an authoritative statement, hav ing to do within his province, as merely calling for the expression of his own opinion. Any award of public funds to him is not to his notion a compensation for duties performed, but a present in ap preciation of his personal loyalty to those above him. The contemplation of a division of what may come to him never enters his head. Besides, it is not at all necessary as he. of himself, knows all that should be known rela tive to his bailiwick. To acknowledge nedid not, by calling upon others to assist him in ascertaining, would be to confess a falling short of the standard, and thereby breed no end of trouble for himself. So, whatever may be asked of him in the way of data, is at once for warded, the exceeding simplicity of the system of aggregation and compilation avoiding all excuse for delay. Such a thing as a house to house can vas, and an enumeration, however mea gre in actual detail, has never been known throughout China. To attempt it would straightway cause trouble, every Chinaman thinking it a new scheme to extort money and conducting himself accordingly. Some outside authorities estimate the population of the Empire as high as 450,000,000—others as low as:500.000.000. Between these totals may, or may not, be fairly correct. Journeying by the Yangstee, through what has been well termed the Mississippi Valley of China, making side trips up and down its numerous tributaries: later, taking in the Southern Cantonese districts, and subsequently those north from Hankow to Tien-Tsin. the traveler would regard the higher estimate as not excessive. But after the trio of tremendous stretches from Pekin —the one due west to Kashgar. the second northwest over the Caravan route to Kiakhta, and the third straight north to the continence of the Sheika with the Amoor, the lesser figure would seem the more warranted. The Chinese Empire in its entirety is a gigantic thing topographically, extending as it does from the eighteen th to the fifty-fourth degree north, and from the seventy-second east. Three thousand miles one way and 4,000 the other. Four and a quarter million square miles, or nearly a million more than our own total area. The two provinces in the South. Kwang-Tnng and Kwang-Se. over which Li-Hung-Chang ot present exer cises despotic sway as Governor Gen eral or Vicerov, have an aggregated area of 158.000 miles—a territory larger than Ohio. Illinois and Michigan com bined—and an estimated population of 35,000,000, which is greater tliaD the total of cur population west of the Al leghany Mountains. Canton and Swatow are in Kwang- Tnng and the province is renowned for its silk products. The province of Pechilli, in which are both Pekin and Tien-Tsin, has an area of 00,000 square miles —equal, say, to that of New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts —and a population of 20,000,000, or three times that of the States named. Sze-Chuen, in the west, is the largest province in the Empire, having an area of 170,000, square miles—exceeding that of New England and the Middle States —and a population of 70,000,000, or equal to that of our entire country. It, like Kwang-Tnng, is noted for the char acter and extent of silk produced. Hoo- Pih, in Central China, is another big province with 70,000 square miles and 35.000,000 population. Hankow is its great city. Snantung,in the Northeast, with fifty odd thousand square miles, has a population of 36,000,000, while •Keang-Su and Keang-Si. in the South, Fukien, in the Southeast. Nyan-W Years have come and passed away, Golden locks have turned to grey, Golden ringlets once so fair. Time has changed to silvery hair; Yes, I've neared the river's side, Soon I'll launch upon the tide. Soon my boat with noiseless oar Safe will pass to yon bright shore. I have trod the deck with pride. Held the helm the lioat to guide. Blew the trumpet loud and shrill For the man the lock to fill; But the old canal is gone. Of its locks there's scarce a stone Left to mark the place of yore Where the mighty waters roared. Oh' these thoughts with magic power Take me back to boyhood's hour, From the mountain to the river Scenes that are past and gone forever; Now the boatmen, one by one. Take their place beneath the stone. We shall meet them here no more, But we shall on yonder shore. Soon I'll be among the blest, Where the weary are at rest. Soon I'll tread the golden shore. Singing praises evermore. Now my boat is on the stream. I can see the waters gleam; Soon I'll be where angels roam. Dear old friends, I'm going home. CHORUS. Let me see a boat again. W T itb its towline stretched and strain ed, Let me tread the deck once more Ere I pas3to yon bright shote. E. G. STITT. DEATHS. BARR —In Allegheny City. Aug. 25, 1900. Vincent R.
