THE CHINESE WAR.
By Friday of last week five of the
Powers had agreed to Rnswa's proposi
tion to withdraw troops from Pekin and
two had announced opposition to its
adoption. Four Powers had finally de
clared that Li-Hung-Chang was accept
able to them as peace envoy for China,
two question not only Li-Hung-Chang a
credentials, but the power of the Imper
ial Government to approve his acts, and
one wishes to know more about the
credentials he holds before it is willing
to treat through him.
This sums np the situation. It conld
hardly be more satisfactory, viewed from
the American standpoint. An active
interchange of views took place Thurs
day between the capitals of Europe and
Japan and Washington, and as a result
it is likely that pressure will be applied
to the two Powers anxious to remain in
Pekin to induce them to withdraw
simultaneously with the evacuation by
the other allies.
The Powers who object to the Russian
proposition are Germany and Italy.
Those favoring it are the United States,
Great Britian, France, Japan and
Russia. The powers which question
Li-Hung-Chang's credentials and the
ability of the Imperial Government to
enforce the terms he may make are
Germany and Italy, while France would
like to know more about the credentials
before negotiations begin.
The Governments to which Li-Hung-
Chang is acceptable are the United
States, Great Britian, Russia and Japan.
Confidence is expressed that Frar.ee will
not be obstinate in the matter, but will
join the quartet. With five Powers act
ing in unison Germany and Italy will
then, it is thought here, be compelled,
by the sheer weight of the opposition, to
join in withdrawing from Pekin and be
ginning peace negotiations with the
Chinese Viceroy.
On Saturday it was reported from St-
Petersburg that the czar had ordered
General Linevitch, the entire Russian
forces, M. de Giers and the legation
staff to leave Pekin immediately and go
to Tien Tsin.
General Linevitch, anxious to restore
order as quickly as possible and to de
fend the peaceful natives and their pro
perty, divided Pekin into five districts
and appointed Russian, American,
French, German and Japanese govern
ors. The Japanese took their honors
seriously, and, having the most troops at
their command, seized the state excheq
uer, and, acting as though they were
the masters of the situation, pillaged the
Chinks unmercifully. The natives com
plained to the allied troops, but beyond
remonstrating with the Japanese no
redress was possible.
The first mobilization of troops in
Russia in the month of June cost 22,
000,000 rubles, $11,850,000; in July the
expense was 900,000 rubles, $4011,5(H): in
August, 1,850,000 rubles, $695,250. The
total daily expense at present is 10,000,-
000 rubles, $-5,150,000.
General Rennenkrampf has occupied
the fortified villages of Santziazi and
Madzagau, and is now within a short
distance of Ssitsihar.
Seventy thousand Russians arrived at
Port Arthur ;10,000 Germans also passed
the same port bound for Taku and Tien
Tsin, where 80,000 troops will soon be
concentrated.
From Washington came word that the
entire course of negotiations on the
~ <AU£atiyn is now dependent upon
the responses of the powers 16 tne
American proposals. It was stated
authoritatively at the close of official
hours Saturday that no answer has been
received from any source other than
those of a preliminary and inconclusive
character heretofore announced. More
over, it is stated by responsible adminis
eration officials that not until the last
answer is received will the negotiations
assume any definite form, as the last
answer may prove to be the dissent from
an International "accord toward which
all efforts are now bending.
Mach interest was aroused by the dis
patch from St. Petersburg, giving the
full text of the Russian proposal, as it
cleared up some discrepancies which had
existed owing to the oral natnre of the
communication made to the Govern
ment by the Russian charge.
By far the most important correction
it makes is in disclosing that Russia has
not ordered her minister and troops to
withdraw "from China," as was stated
in the American paraphrases of the pro
posal. but that she intends to recall M.
de Giers and his staff "to Tien Tsin,
whether they will be accompanied by
the Russian troops." In short, Russia
has not announced a purpose to with
draw from China but only to withdraw
from Pekin.
As the negotiations progress, the view
is strengthened among officials that the
RUSEO-American plain of withdrawing
from Pekin,ultimately will be concurred
in by all the powers. In diplomatic
quarters this outcome is hxtked upon as
practically assured. It is pointed out
that if the Russian, American and Jap
anese troops are withdrawn from Pekin,
the other powers would not have 5,000
men remaining there, which would le
a force utterly inadequate to garrison ]
and defend the capital.
The British force now at Pekin is said
to numlier 3,100 men and the German
force is only a few hundred. On the
other hand, the Russian and Japanese
continents are large, and with their
withdrawal the main strength of the
allies at Pekin, would be taken away.
AH a matter of necessity. therefor*, tt 1B
heM that the withdrawal of the larger
font* will compel the smaller forces of
Great Britain and Germany to leave at
the same time.
The brief answer which Germany al
ready has made to this Government stat
ing that any general consideration of the
proposition will be dependent npon in
quiries as to the condition of affair? at
Pekin. These inquiries are now in prog
ress through the German officials at the
Chinese capital and the responses are
expected to form the basis of Germany 's
general answer.
The publication of the text of the
Russian proposals has intensified rather
than diminished the -nspicions enter
tained by England of Russa s proceed
ings. The rupture of the European con
oert is an accepted fact. Opinion differ,
however, as to the way in which the
Powers will now group themselves.
Some papers think that Great Britain,
Japan and the triple alliance will stand
together in refusing to leave Pekin.
"It is not doubted here, says the
Vienna correspondent of the Standard,
"that Russia's proposals will in the end
be accepted by Germany, who cannot
but shrink from a single-handed war
with China. The Austrian newspapers,
though at first indignant, are now
beginning to realise the possibilities of
an acceptance of the Russo-American
solution."
A dispatch from Paris dat.-d the 3rd
said that the French government had
indicated its willingness to accept Li
Hung Chang as China s agent for peace:
and one from Washington same date
stated that developments in Chinese
affairs over Sunday were of slight im
portance. Acting secretary Adee de
clares that no information regarding the
notes from the other powers will be
given to the public but a cabinet mem
ber states this morning none of them
has yet made final answer to the United
States proposition. He sa3's that the
communications so far received indicate
that there is great diversity of opinion
and that the retirement from Pekin of
American troops was practically assured.
He named Germany. Austria and Italy
as the powers most opposed to Russia s
declaration. He thinks Japan and pos
sibly Great Britain will take the same
position as the United States while
France has already an understanding
frith Russia.
The withdrawal of American troops
will be accomplished after due notice to
the other powers. It would be mani
festly unfair, say the war department
officials for the United States to em
barrass her allies by sudden removal of
her forces. There was co-operation
throughout the march to Pekin and
after the capture. Nothing should now
be don» until the forces electing tore
main at the capital have had notice and
time to bring up reinforcements.
Reports of looting and outrages com
mitted by soldiers of the allies multiply.
The Russians, in particular, are accused
of most extreme brutality, and it is be
lieved here that the reports coming from
diverse quarters are at least based upon
truth. Fortunately for the credit of this
country no charges of this nature have
yet been made against American soldiers,
and it is believed that under the com
mand of Gen. Chaffee, they will be irn"
possible He is said to lie exerting his
influence to prevent the continuance by
soldiers of other powers, pnd it is hoped
here that for the moral effect it will
have upon the Chinese that his efforts
will prove successful.
W. W. Rockhill, special commissioner
of the United States to investigate and
report 011 condition in China, is quoted
in an alleged Shanghai interview as lay
I ing the entire blame for the Chinese
I trouble njion the imperial government
Anti-foreign feeling is rapidly deepen
ing. In the Canton province the ranks
of the rowdy element are tremendously
swelled by the unemployed, and these
restless mobs are reported to be busy
looting the homes and stores of the na
tive Christians. Boxer agents are adding
fuel to the flames bv circulating placards
purporting to give war news. These
placards contain the wildest and most
fantastic statements, among other things
declaring that the allies have been rout
en ami thousands of them killed, while
other thousands were drowned, having
been driven, panic stricken, into the
river. The placards also say that the
foreigners are suing for peace, and make
no end of other inflammatory state
ments, the effect of which has been to
make the situation more critical.
Li Hung Chang says the empress
dowager and her part}-, including
Chinese government officials, are estab
lished in the palace of the governor Tai
Yung Fu. It is learned that this is the
governor who caused the slaughter of
52 missionaries.
Russia's declaration of her intention
to act independently in China, thus
making the first break in the harmon
ious action of the powers, is still the
foremost topic of discussion in diplomatic
circles. Under the lead of the United
States, all the powers are exerting their
influence to induce Russia to modify her
determination to withdraw her troops
rrom A* tiu «ame time, the
diplomats are trying to discover the real
motive of the czar in projtosing the evac
uation of the Chinese capital. One
suggestion is that Russia is actuated by
a desire to save her ally, France, from
the mortification of seeing her soldiers
under the command of the German
Count von Waldersee. Another, and
possibly the more correct idea, is that
Russia, for her own purpose, is trying
to make- China believe that she, alone of
the powers is friendly and desirous of
saving the kingdom from humilation,
some even going so far as to say that
Russia has a secret understanding with
China.
On Tuesday an imperial edict, issued
at Tai Yuan Fu, where the empress
dowager and the court have taken
refuge, appoints Li Hung Chang, Yung
Ln, Hsu Tung, tutor of the heir appa
rent, and Prince Ching commissioners
to negotiate peace. They constitute a
radically anti-foreign commission.
Hsu Tung is especially obnoxious.
Three of the commissioners are Man
chus.

membership includes all the foremost

commissioners and the recognition of

The Butler County General Hos
pital.
EDITOR CITIZEN:— WiII yon kindly
allow space in your paper for a few
words about the Butler County General
Hospital.
Being compelled to have a leg ampu
tated, I came to the Butler Hospital to
have the operation performed. For
pastime and to let my friends know
now I spent my first Sabbath at the hos
pital I wrote a short note for the CITI
ZEN. Since then I have b»*en requested
to write something more and send it to
other papers in the county, and believ
ing that the vast majority of people in
the county have no proper conception of
what kind of an institution there is here.
I decided to write a short account of my
experience in the hospital.
On the 10th of May my limb was am
putated by Dr. Atwell, assisted by oth
er members of the staff. I remained in
the hospital for five weeks and I think
it would have l>een impossible for any
one to receive better treatment or kind
er attention than I received from all
connected with the hospital.
Matron, doctors and nurses appear to
vie with each other in trying to make
the patients comfortable and hippy. At
any hour of the day or night a tap of
your bell will brirg some one wb<> is
ready to minister to your wants. I
suppose there are a few who will tai -
exception to this statement, liecanse
Hospitals as in a'l other plu' -s in lit
you will occasionally find a person w .>
never has a thought about the comfort
or convenience of nnybodv but l)iK '
While nurses are generally models ot
patience they are not all Angelic bcii:;;
and are liable to have their patie'ice
worn out by persons who will call them
from the second or third floor for some
thing for which they could easily have
waited a short time until the nurse was
through attending to some one probably
needing attention ninth more. .Inst
here I will offer a prescription which I
believe will if followed add greatly to
the comfort and happiness of all who
have to be patient in a Hospital. Ist
never allow any person to do anything
for yon which you can do for y< inrsel f, 2d
do everything yon can for the comfort
and happiness of those about you wlieth
er patients or attendants. If you care
fully follow these two simple rules yon
will find the Hospital employes far in ore
willing to wait 011 you than if you are
eternally demanding this or that favor
regardless of the rights and comforts of
others.
I left the Hospital before rny limb was
entirely healed and by some mishap, got
it infected andhad to come back to the
Hospital but thanks to the treatment
rec'd. my liinb is much better. While
I was away from the Hospital there was
a change in the staff of Dr's. and also in
the nurses,but for efficiency and kind
ness 1 can see no change. At present
the staff is composed of Dr's. Hoover.
R. J. Grossman, Neely, McAlpine and
Williams. The day nurses are Miss
Urainard (than whom a finer nurse cnn
not be found) and Miss Thompson a m-w
one of whom 1 saw but little. The
might nurses are Miss Duncan and Mrs
Shaney.
The Hospital accommodations aro
ample for fifteen patients and in an
emergency can accommodate a few
more. At the present time there are
seventeen patients. All under the kind
but efficient supervision of Miss Emma
Limberg the superintendant. The
Hospital is beautifully located at the
south end of Main St. on the hill side
where yon have a splendid view of the
greater part of the city. I want to say
to all the sick or maimed in the county
this is the place for you because the con
veniences for attending to the sick are
such that you will get better care than
you can possibly get at home without
going to the expense of hiring a traine I
nurse which will cost mun twenty to
twenty-five dollars per week, i wish to
suggest to the rich and charitably in
clined that you can find a splendid oppor
tunity for doing good to humanity by
donating something to the Hospital.
The expense for medicine help and board
are so much and the charges so light
(one dollar per day for ward and from
ten to fifteen dollars per week for a
private room) that it is not self support
ing. So don't be afraid to give for it is
more blessed to give than to receive.

Oklahoma Fruit.
"No other section of the United States
can successfully raise as many kinds
and varieties of fruit as Oklahoma, and
the day is not far distant when Okla
homa fruit will be as well and favor
able known in the markets of the world
as those of California, Florida, or any
other fruit-growing section. Something
over 20,000,000 fruit trees have been
planted by the farmers and orchardists
of the Territory ami when these all
come into bearing Oklahoma fruit will
be shipped to every market. The peo
ple of the Territory do not themselves
realize how great the number of fruit
trees they have planted. As compara
tively few of the trees bore until the
last year or two every man kept on plant
ing, and as the few trees that bear are
young and produce the minimum
amount cf fruit the planting is still
kept up. When these trees, in a few
years, come into full bearing the fruit
crop of the Territory will be something
enormous. In the towns every residence
lot has from 6 to 2 dozen fruit trees
upon it, some of the towns being verit
able orchards. So far the fruit cr p
has found a ready home market but in
a few years the shipment will be large
and canning, preserving, and pickling
establishments will be necessary to care
for the crop The sale of fruit jars for
the canning and preserving of fruits for
domestic use has reached over 12,000,-

From the above taken from the report
of the Gov. of Oklahoma it will be seen
that the Indian Territory is soon to be
come one of the great fruit raising sec
tions of our conntrv: and as some of onr
citizens have secured a lease of half a
million acres of territory adjoining Ok
lahoma, the matter is of local interest.

with a big rooster. He had a hoe in his
hand, and struck the bird on the wing,
disabling it so that it dropped the chick
en. When he tried to strike it again it
dashed at him, and clawed his face in a
painful manner. He succeeded in kill
ing the bird, which measured seven feet
from tip to tip.
Rev. C. H. Poiterfield of Breed town
Venango Co. was arrested last week, on
the oath of a 10 year old girl.
In defense or the honor of a girl of 14
years, Norman H. King, a business
man. of Everson. was fatally shot by his
brother-in-law. Harry L. Frew, at mid
night. Saturday night. The tragedy is
complicated by another story, but evi
dence gleaned, points to the former
being correct. After Frew did the
shooting the neighborhood was aroused
and a chase was instituted by about 10
men and boys, with the intention of
lynching Frew. The man ran desper
ately, fearing the vengeance of the mob.
and after making a circuitous route,
came back to the home of James Fergu
son. another bro- her-in-law, married to
a sister of the wives of King and him
self. The little girl who it is alleged
caused the shooting is the fourth sister.
When Frew reached Ferguson s house
he barricaded himself, and the crowd
kept up a siege until noon Sunday,
when Frew surrendered to Alexander
Mcßeth.jthe county detective of Faye'te
county, in which the shooting to pla-
The day was the most sensational that
Scottdalo has ever had. and as all the
principals are well known the news
spread far and wide.
Over in New Castle the Collector
could i.ot wait upon the crowd, last
Friday, and is now perplexed because
they demand the rebate: and the New
Castle Electric Company and the City
Council have locked horns on the ques
tion of city lighting. The contract
with the electric company expired July,

been providing light. The electric com
pany ha sent in a hill of *'-■"><( for tin 1
incandescent lights and have charged
the city S9O for the arc lights.
Several miraculous cnres are alleged
to have been performed by Rev. H. C.
Blandford. the healer of London, Eng.,
who is holding meetings on the Court
House steps in Pittsburg, every night
Mr. Blandford does not claim to be a
divine healer or a second Nazarene, but
a preacher of the Word of God sent to
assist suffering mankind. He heals by
laying on of hands, and three people
who had not known comfort for years
claim to have been cured.

FERRERO In Cincinnati. 0., August
29, 1900. Eugene Ferrero. Esq., forrn-
erly of this place, aged about 75 years
Mr. Ferrero came to Butler about the
year 1852 and there is sowewhat of
romance as to his coming here. From
the best information ever obtained he
was born in the city of New York and
left his home to travel and see the
world. In the course of his travels he
reached Pittsburgh where he found
himself out of money and with no
friends. He came on foot to this place,
and passed through it. going on to
Centre township, and there fortunately
met a man on the road who proved a
friend. This man was the late George
MeCandless,better known as "Grammar
George," on account of the interest he
took in the study of language. Mr. Me-
Candless was impressed with Mr.
Ferrero'.s manners and conversation,
and discovering he was an educated
man asked him to tarrv with him. He
also gave him employment, and soon
procured for him a school iu the town
ship, as teacher. His success as a
teacher soon spread with the result that
he came to Butler. Here he also taught
school, but soon after l>egan the study
of law in the office of Hon. Samuel A.
Pnrviance He was admitted to the Bar
in 1855 and in the following year, 1850.
was nominted by the Republicans and
elected District Attorney of the county.
This office he held three years, and as
soon as it expired he, (in 1»60), was
elected Count} - Superintendent of our
schools, holding this office for three
years. After this ho went to Oil City,
made some money in oil and returned
and lived here until he "left the town
about twenty years ago.
During the progress of the. above
events Mr. Ferrero married (about 1857)
Miss Anna Lena Gilmore. a young lady
of one of the then leading families of
this place, and herself a leader in the
fashionable society of the town. She
died shortly after, leaving a daughter
who is living here, a respected citizen,
and the only representative left of the
once numerous Gilmore family.
About 18(58, Mr. Ferrero again mar
rie<l, this time Miss Anna Lena Puryi
ance. a daughter of the late General
John Nelson Purviance, a respected
lady who is still living in this place.
She has two sons and two daughters.
She obtained a divorce from her hus
band some years ago. His death came
from being struck by a trolly car on. the
streets of Cincinnati.

Mr. Powers had ljeen spending the sum
mer at Atlantic City with his family
and it is presumed that he fell from the
train from that resort which reaches
that city via the Bridge route at
p. m. Mr. Powers's home was in
Frankford, a Philadelphia suburb,
which is the first station this side of the
Delaware river. He probably left his
seat in the car while the train was
crossing the bridge, so as to be in readi
ness to leave the train when it reached
Frankford, which is only a short dis
tance beyond the Philadelphia terminus
of the structure. Mr. Powers was a
man of heroic build, measuring con
siderably over six feet, and weighing
aliout 275 pounds His friends express
the theory that he had gone to the plat
form to escape the heat in the car and
was jolted off while the train was on a
curve.
Louis Goodman, aged 100 years, died
at his home, 07 Congress street. Pitts

his illness became alarming Thursday
night, he was urged to have a doctor,
but refused, saying he had lived a cen
tury without taking medicine and he
would not begin now. Mr. Goodman is
survived by his fourth wife and two
children, Solomon Goodman, of West

A CUKIOUH railway accident occurred
in India lately. While a train was iu
Rnxanl Station a terrific storm com
menced. and, although the brake was
applied in the van and on the engine,
the force of the wind was such that the
train was driven along the line. lhe
engine dashed through the buffer shop
at the end of the line,and traveled along
about six lengths of rail laid end to end
without (ish plate fastenings. After
leaving these rails the engine plowed
along the embankment, and then came
fortunately to a standstill, no great
damage having been done.
