FUSION KILLED BY SIXTEEN TO ONE I Republicans of Pennsylvania Can Have Nothing in Common With Guffey and Free Silver. CONGRESS MUST BE WON. Cliiiirmiiii lliil>e«»el». of tlie R<'|»ul»ll eun t'oiiure**iomil Committee,l.ook« to Thin State For Suh»tnntiul (inina Thin FnII. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, July 10.—Free silver nt sixteen to one In the Democratic plank destroys all hope of the Democrats of Pennsylvania making even a fair show ing in the coming campaign in the | congressional and legislative districts of this state. It was with his home interests in view that Col. Gtiffey, the leader of the Bryanlte wing of the Pennsylvania De mocracy. sought at Kansas City last ; week to side track the Bryan plank for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one. But Mr. . Guffey. when he found that Bryan would not accept the nomination for ' the presidency without a specific decla ration of sixteen to one in the party ; platform, withdrew his opposition and . turned in with the rampant silverites of Nevada. Colorado. Wyoming and other western states and territories against the manufacturing, the busi ness and the farming interests of Penn- j sylvania. The Pennsylvania delegation, under I Guffey's leadership, after the Bryanites had won out in the committee on res- j olutions of the Democratic national convention by a majority of but two i votes, joined with Boss Croker. of New York, and blocked the plans of David B. Hill and other opponents of the sil ver crazed Bryanites. GUFFEY FOR SIXTEEN TO ONE. Guffey's loyalty to Bryan and the wild notioned leaders of the Tillman- j Altgeld type prevented a continuance of the fight against the sixteen to one plank on the floor of the Kansas City j convention. The Pennsylvania delega- ! tion. under the operatons of the unit rule, went to the front with a solid vote of 64 delegates committed against the filing of a minority report in the na tional convention against sixteen to one. This plank, which Bryan wrote himself, will be the cause of the de- ' sertlon of many hundreds of thousands of sound money Democrats from the Bryan and Stevenson ticket this year. In Pennsylvania alone there are al ready many Democrats who say they will vote the entire Republican ticket this fall. Ry this they do not mean i (hat they have gone over entirely to the Republican party. They argue that the sooner Bryan is driven from the j leadership of the National Democracy \ the sooner that party will get back to j its old moorings and teachings. The j way to kill off Bryanism and free sil- j ver, they say, is to vote the entire Re- j publican ticket. Had Guffey and the Pennsylvania ! lelegatfon to the Kansas City conven- | tion fought to the end against free sil- j ver they would have come home de- j serving of the thanks and the respect 1 if the conservative Democrats of their j state. Their half hearted support of the conservative plank in the early itage of the struggle counts for noth ng, since before the fight was half over hey turned in with the Tillmans. the j •Mtgelds, the Townes and the other j dngle idea Democrats of the present j 'reakish Democratic organization. NO FUSION POSSIBLE. It will he interesting to note the ef ect of Guffey's support of the sixteen o one silver plank upon Guffey's fusion ampaign with the Flinn insurgent j ombine in this state. Not only will 1 iuffey be unable to deliver but a small j jortion of the Democratic vote to his uslon candidates for the legislature, j >ut with Guffey on record as voting for I he sixteen to one plank he cannot ex- 1 >ect Republicans who have business in erests in this state to give encourage nent to his scheme to defeat regular tepublican nominees for the state sen ite and the house of representatives, vho will have a vote on the important ssue of the election of a United States enator. Sixteen to one kills fusion in Penn ylvan o on the legislative ticket and neans the election of Republicans in ! very doubtful congressional district in his state. The first primary election to be held n Pennsylvania since the sixteen to >ne declaration in Kansas City was in he Luzerne-Lackawanna district on iaturday last, where Senator Scott, au nsurgent, wan defeated for renomina ion by William Drury, friend of Col. Juay, who had 1 200 majority on a pop lar vote by Republicans. Scott train d with the Flinn-Martin insurgents. Gen. Palmer, a staunch supporter 112 Col. Quay, was nominated for con ress in this district at the same pri larieß. REEDER MEETS BABCOCK. General Frank Reeder, chair lan of the Republican state com littee of Pennsylvania, has been in cinsultation with Chairman Babcock, 112 the Republican congressional com littee, upon the subject of the con ressional campaign in the Keystone ate. Chairman Babcock has impress- I Gen. Reeder with the fact that ennsylvania shall make gains in the epublican representation in the house, ) that this stalwart Republican state 'ia.ll do her share towards preventing le Democracy from gaining control 112 this branch of congress. One of the most serious difficulties 112 the impending campaign, so far as te Republicans are concerned, is the most universal belief that the money .lestion cannot be reopened, except as subject of academic debate, for the ixt four years at least. Chairman abcock, who is about to open his »urth campaign in that capacity, jenly realizes, as well as do all the her more sagacious leaders, that a ryan victory this year would almost evitably give the silver men control ' both branches of congress on March 1903, at the latest, and might possl y produce that result on March 4, 01. Those who know the details of the. •tigress campaign of 1898 remember >w difficult it was to arouse Repybli- II voters and sound money men geri: ally to the importance of that coiw st. Sound money had won a victory the polls two years before, but the 11 its of that victory could not be gath ed because of an opposition majority the senate. It was known in 1898 at the sound money men would con ol that body in the Fifty-sixth con ess, but that would be of no avail un ss they could also control ttie houss representatives, and yet it was not itil late in the campaign that the und money men could be aroused —so te in some states that seat after seat the house was turned over to the en ny, «nd the Republican majority in iat body reduced to less than a | izen. The lossue were mainly in ates which gave heavy pluralities for cKinley in ittati on the sound money sue. No less than 25 districts wer«t ] us turned over to the Democrat* In eix states of Maryland, Massaehu 11w, JV&w Jersey. New York. Pennsyl tnia ami West Virginia. A Republi n victory was as vital to the estab ihment of the gold standard in 1898 as was in 189fi. Such a victory this year equally vital to the preservation of at standard. ' CHANGES IN THE SENATE. If Bryan is elected, the house of rep resentatives in the Fifty-seventh con gress will be controlled by the oppo nents of thai 1 imlard and the senate will be iuk oi.v!ori;ilily close. It may be so do '* that the casting vote of a vice pi lit. elected on the Kansas City j' .i will decide whether the gold i- • ;•'! shall be maintained. Anion;, the state . to elect United States senator:- •• \.i!l take their seats at the beginning of the Fifty-seventh congre.- • are the following: Colorado— To succeed V.'olccti, Republican. Dv'av,; .•<> To succeed Kenney, Democrat, and al - > to fill a vacancy Idaho- To ; ! I i- uiip, re publican. Illinois -To succeed Cullom. Re publican. Kansas—To succeed Baker, Re publican. Minnesota -To succeed Nelson. Republican. Mont:>> To succeed Carter, Re public ■ r.. and Clark, Democrat. Nebr !. . To succeed Thurston, Republican, and Allen, Democrat- Populist. North olina —To succeed But ler, Populi i. Pennsylvania—To succeed Quay, Republican. South Dakotf —To succeed Petti grew, Silver Republican. West Virginia—To succeed El kin, Republican. Wyoming—To succeed Warren, Republican. The representation of these states at present consist of 15 Republicans, 1 Democrat and C Populists and Silver Republicans —the Nebraska vacancy caused bv the death of Hay ward. Re publican. having been temporarily filled by the appointment of Allen, Populist. Of the 12 states mentioned B—Colorado,8 —Colorado, Idaho. Kansas. Montana, Nebraska. North Carolina, South Da kota and Wyoming—were carried by Bryan four years ago. If he is elected president this year there is at least a reasonable probability that he wfll car ry two of the others —Delaware and West Virginia—and that the represen tation of the 12 states in the senate will stand: Republicans, 8; opposi tion, 16, as follows: Republicans —Illinois, 2; Minnesota, 2; North Carolina, 1; South Dakota, 1; West Virginia, 1; Wyoming, 1. Opposition —Colorado, 2: Delaware, 2; Idaho, 2; Kansas, 2; Montana, 2: Nebraska. 2: North Carolina, 1; South Dakota, 1; West Virginia, 1; Wyom ing, 1. The representation of the 33 other states in the senate in the Fifty-sev enth congress will stand as follows: Republicans, 38; opposition, 28. The senate would then stand: Republi cans (for gold standard), 46; opposi tion. 44. The re-election of a Silver Republican senator in New Hampshire or the loss of a Republican senator in Illinois (which state sent a Democrat to the senate nine years ago, as the result of a fierce factional fight) would divide the senate equally on the money question, and the existing financial policy and legislation might be over turned and reversed next year by the casting vote of a Democratic-Populist vice president, as the protective tariff was overturned in 1846 by a Demo cratic vice president carried into of fice on the war cry of "Polk, Dallas and the tariff of 1842." WHERE DEMOCRATS MIGHT WIN. That the election of Bryan to the presidency this year would result in a silver majority in the senate in the Fifty-eighth congress, which will come in on March 4. 1903, seems to be rea sonably certain. Among the Republi can senators whose terms will expire on March 3, 1903, are the following: Per kins of California, Mason of Illinois, Fairbanks of Indiana, Deboe of Ken tucky, Wellington of Maryland, Piatt of New York, Pritchard of North Caro lina, Hansbrough of North Dakota. Foraker of Ohio and Kyle of South Dakota. At least three of these —De- boe, Wellington and Pritchard —will be succeeded by silver senators, in all probability, in case Bryan wins this year, and the seats of several of the others will be in serious danger. In Indiana only one Republican (Benjamin Harrison) was elected to the United States senate between 1575 and 1897, and in that entire period of 22 years both senatorships were held l>y Democrats for 20 years, with only one break of two years' duration. It has been only since March 4, 1899, that both seats have been occupied by Re publicans, since Joseph E. McDonald was elected to succeed Daniel Pratt in 1875. The election of Bryan to the presidency in 1900 would indicate a probability of the election of a Demo crat to succeed Senator Fairbanks in 1903. From 1869 to 1897. a period of 28 years, one of the Ohio seats in the I'nited States senate was occupied by a Democrat, and from 1879 to 1881 both of them were so occupied. It has been only since the beginning of the present administration that both have been oc cupied by Republicans since the recon struction period. From 1875 to 1899 the Democrats held one of the New Jersey sets 'n the senate, and for four years both of them were so held. For the first time in a quarter of a century Republicans now hold both of the senatorships from that state. From 1891 to 1899 New York was represented in the senate by two Dem ocrats for four years, and by one Re publican and one Democrat for the r«st of the period. If Bryan should be elected president this year, and especi ally if New York should contribute her electoral vot" to that result, Sena tor Piatt's successor in 1903 in all probability would be a Democrat. The estate of the late Leander Mc- Cormiek, of Chicago, amounts to $4,- 000,000. Women wonder Why They are doomed tu so much suffering. But are they doomed ?

Itoliiu 11 in I tmoMt to l'roteet the Foreigners ARalimt I'rinee Tnnn'a Inordinate Ambition. London, July 10.—With the foreign ers in Pekin probably safe amid civil war. with Prince Ching on their side, with the powers united and their forces constantly increasing, the outlook in China is now rather more hopeful than it has been for a month past. The Ninth United States infantry, under Col. Liseum, has arrived at Taku, and will be promptly forwarded to the front to act in conjunction with the allied forces. It appears from the cautious state ment given out by Taotai Sheng in Shanghai that the reason the heavy COLONEL LISCUM. guns bearing on the legations at Pekin were not used is that Prince Ching, who is served by 10,000- troops, seized all the artillery ammunition. Sheng likewise intimates tliat Yung Lu, com mander-in-chief of the northern army, is associated with Prince Ching in op posing Prince Tuan's ferocious designs and dictatorial ambition. Sheng, who appears to be the sole Shanghai con duit of Pekin news, cheers the foreign consuls by these confidential communi cations, but takes excessive precau tions to prevent the Chinese from thinking him friendly to the foreign ers. The feeling of unrest in the southern and center provinces continues. The members of the official class in those provinces strive to remain neutral, with a leaning toward the foreigners, until they shall see whether the moder ate or extreme factions will win in Pekin. Prince Ching seems to be Btanding for the dynasty and the old order against Prince Tuan's inordinate ambition. From a foreign point of view the capture of Pekin is tho key to the situation, as there is a fear that delay now means a hundred recruits for the Boxers for every soldier of the allies in the land. Two couriers arrived at Tien Tsin on July 1 from Pekin. One brought a letter from Sir Claude Mac Donald, the British minister, to the same effect as that previously received from Sir Rob ert Hart. The couriers confirm the re ports of the death of Baron Von Ket teler. They say that Prince Ching is doing his utmost to protect the for eigners, but that the native feeling against the whites is strong. Two high officials opposed to the Boxers are reported by the couriers to have been assassinated. A dispatch to a news agency here, dated Tien Tsin, July 2, says: "The empress dowager, so far from being dead, is actively striving to pre vent the factions fighting. Prince Ching has informed her that he would rather lose his head than be constantly obliged to warn her of the consequences of the prolongation of the present an archy. Prince Tuan is quite willing that Ching should be decapitated, but the empress dowager will not allow this. Prince Tuan has decided that he will take full responsibility. He purposes to retake Tien Tsin and Taku. Outside of Pekin, except in the Pe-Chi- Li and San Tung country, the people are supremely indifferent." However all this may be, the allies at Tien Tsin are having an exceedingly unpleasant time. The last engagement of which news has come through oc curred on July 6. The Chinese artil lery opened at dawn. Their fire "was more accurate and their ammunition better, the shells exploding with pre cision and setting fire to several build ings. H. M. S. Terrible's guns again quieted the Chinese, who, shifting their artillery, reopened the attack in the afternoon, but, a thunder storm break ing, the Chinese suddenly quit. The al lies immediately attacked anddrovethe Chinese from their works, but lost 30 killed and wounded in so doing. The non-combatants are leaving Tien Tsin, and the opinion of a minority favors the military leaving also. Stories of tolossal Chinese armies gathering con tinue to worry not only the rank and lite, but the commanders, who admit the uncertainty of reconnaisances and the complete absence of an effectivn Intelligence department. Chinese in formation is received with extreme dis trust. It is obvious that, though there are many thousands of Chinese camped behind the guns, nothing can be done at present except to wait the arrival of reinforcements. The rainy seasoq lias set in, and this makes going into the interior most difficult. The coun try between Pekin and Tien Tsin in Other years lias been frequently iloou •d. River transportation is almost im possible, and the railway is practically non-existent and must be entirely re built. Military opinion is unanimous that if the legations did not need relief it would be foolish tu attempt to advance before September. The Daily Mail's Shanghai corre.- spondent, under date of July U, says: ♦"lt is certain that if the powers make any movement elsewhere north of Taku they must be prepared to meet opposition. A Chinese official in high favor with Viceroy Liu Kun Yi, in the course of an interview, says the south ern viceroys are only bound to neu trality as long as they are not inter fered with. They have more war ma: terials than they can use, and the mil itary forces all over the provinces are increasing. The Yang Tse Kiatig is mined with torpedoes, and the garrison at the Shanghai arsenal has just been reinforced by two ncwlv recruited regi T ments." Baron Hayashi, being asked by a representative t> f The Daily Chronicle: "Do you unde* and that Japan has now been alio a free hand to settle the trouble?" r« ied: "I do nor. understand so, but I know | that Japan is quite willing to do all in her power to bring the rising to an end, along with the other powers. Japan is ready to put 22,000 men into the field." If any sort of trouble existed in Pekin the settlement of the trouble would not present serious difficulties, j but if anarchy prevailed the situation would be serious indeed. George Wyndham, parliamentary | under secretary of state for war, said in the house of commons yesterday that since 1895 English firms had sold the Chinese government 71 guns of po- j sition, 123 field guns and 21)7 machine guns, with ammunition for each class. He also said that a German firm in ' 1899 sold China 460,000 Mauser rifles. Rear Admiral Lord Charles Bores ford. speaking at Malta, at the Naval and Military society last evening, said the trouble in China would be far reaching and disastrous in its conse quences to British trade there. It would be a military, not a maritime war, and the powers that could place on the spot the greatest number of troops would eventually have substan tial advantages. The powers not con senting to the "open door," particular ly Russia, he declared, would eventu ally gain supremacy. He said it was a pity that his proposals respecting the reorganization of the Chinese army had not been accepted by the British government with a view to the possi bility of a general war. Lord Beres ford advocated an imperial confer ence, to which all the colonies should be invited, to discuss a scheme of de fense. \DKI) OF HKIVKOIU KMKVI'S. They Will Probably !»«• S«M«t to China From tho Philippine*. Washington, July 10.—Developments in the Chinese situation were consid ered by members of the cabinet at a consultation held yesterday. Admiral Kempff's cablegram, giving his esti mate of the amount of force he regard ed necessary to represent the United States properly in the movement upon Pekin, was carefully considered. An agreement was reached to say nothing about the admiral's figures, on the ground that it would be impolitic to make our needs known to the Chinese, in the first instance, and also because of a desire on the part of this govern ment to avoid being putin the po sition of appearing to set up a standard for the other powers in this matter. It is understood, however, that the pith of Admiral Kempff's commu nication is the necessity of speedy re inforcements, if quick action is desired, and on the latter point there is not a dissentient voice among the cabinet officers. If reinforcements are to be gotten to China speedily they cannot some from the United States. According to the schedule already in execution only one steamer, with two battalions of one regiment, has started from San Fran cisco, and the next steamer is not to start before the 15th of the present month. At that rate many weeks, and even months, must elapse before the 0,000 additional troops ordered east Saturday can be landed there. This state of affairs caused a revival yester day of the report that Gen. Mac Arthur is to be again called upon to relieve tne situation by dispatching from the Philippines at least two regiments, in addition to the Ninth infantry, already sent to Taku. It was said that the cab inet officers decided to give the nec essary orders looking to a replacement of the troops withdrawn from Gen. Mac Arthur's command from the force going out from the United States. Un less Japan is to be left to do all of the fighting in the immediate future Gen. Mac Arthur must respond to this de- , mand. By drawing upon the Philip- ; pine force at least a month could be saved in landing troops in China. Secretary Long yesterday afternoon showed how the navy was responding to the call for reinforcements by or dering 500 marines to be assembled from the several navy yards and hur ried to China. It is significant that these are the first military forces to be sent directly from the United States to China. ItiiNMin Aecept* Jnpitrt'N \l«l.

London, July 10.—As Lord Roberts' dispatches reveal, the lioers are un usually active, both in the Orange cr ' ony and the so-called pacified westt.u Transvaal, but without producing any serious impression upon the Ii: itish arms. Lord Roberts telegraphs to the war office from Pretoria as follows: "The officer commanding at Heil bron reports that State Secretary Blignaut, State Attorney Dickson and Members of the Council Vantander and Kuppervergen came in yesterday and surrendered. "Hutton was attacked yesterday in a position he was holding by a large number of Boers. He cut them off without much difficulty, the 5-inch guns with him being found most use ful. Our only casualty was Lieut. Young, of the First Canadian mounted troop—slight scalp wound. The enemy left several wounded on the ground and sent a flag of truce with a request that they might be received in our field hospital. "I regret to say that Capt. Currie and Lieut. Kirk, of the Imperial light horse, who were reported wounded in my telegram of yesterday, were both killed. One squadron of this distin guished corps pressed a very severe force of the enemy in a gallant at tempt to carry off a wounded comrade, to which they attributed the heavy loss sustained. In addition to the of ficers a farrier sergeant and three troopers were killed and the sergeant major, three sergeants and several troopers were wounded." The Boer leaders at the cape are extending their boycott of British firms, and Dutch companies, with £200,000 capital, have been formed. Passengers arriving at Lourenzo Marques on July 9 from Middleburg say there has been severe fighting be tween the latter place and Machado dorp, in which the Boers were defeated and demoralized. The Lourenzo Marques correspond ent of The Daily Telegraph says, under date of July 9: "I understand that Mr. Hollis, the American consul here, has been recalled. He is a well known pro-Boer." On Triul For OIIL-TIME Murder. New London, Mo., July 10.—The trial of Alexander Jester, charged with the murder of Gilbert W. Gates, 29 years ago, began here yesterday. Young Gates mysteriously disappeared while traveling from southern Kansas to his home in Illinois. A few weeks after ward Jester was arrested for his mur der, the young man's wagon and other effects being found in Jester's posses sion. Jester broke jail, however, and nothing more was heard from him un til about a year ago, when a sister, with whom he quarreled, gave him up to the authorities.

There was the usual num ber of callers yesterday to pay their respects or to see the president on per sonal business, and a number to talk over matters in connection with the coming of the notification committee on Thursday.

Ruhlin was ready to put up $2,500 forfeit, but refused to do so when he found thai there was a. condition attached to Jeff ries' forfeit money. He would fight on any date provided his arm was wen enough, but if not the forfeit monev was to come down. Ruhlin and his manager refused to enter into an ar rangement of that kind. AN INEXCUSABLE TRAGEDY. (Iml Seaiiinimhiii lieMtilteil in «lie Los j of Sis Female Liven. Cleveland, July 10.—No attempt has been made to recover the bodies of Mrs. James Corrigan. her three daugh ters, niece and granddaughter, who were drowned by the capsizing of the yacht Idler off this port last Saturday afternoon. A terrific gale blew all day Sunday and continued until late yes terday afternoon, making it impossible for tugs to get near the scene of the wreck for the purpose of making a search. A party went out to the wreck with divers this morning. Captain Martin O'Toole, of the steamer Ogemaw, which was close to the yacht when it capsized, says the accident was entirely inexcusable. Captain O'Toole said: "There was plenty of warning of the approach of the squall, and the Idler would have ridden the storm all right if preparations had been made. Not a yard of her canvas was struck, how ever. When she went over she had her mainsail, staysail and two jibs set. There was no sea to speak of, con trary to the assertions of the crew, and if sails had been taken in there would have been no trouble. A small er schooner and a little naptha launch near went through the squall without difficulty. There was no more reason why the Idler should have capsized than that the Ogemaw should have gone over." ])lo|iiui; I'riewt Weildt'd. Worcester. Mass., July 10. —Rev. M. J.

In a letter to the members of the union President Whitaker declared that a number of the men had already been reinstated, and that others will be as rapidly as possible. The letter denies that the company has broken its agreement with the men. The whole trouble seems to hang • on a question of facts, the men in sistin" 1 Ve company had violated if • at, while the company em practically denies that such is the case. The men claimed yesterday that a verbal agreement was entered into con currently with the written agreement, and under the verbal agreement the company had agreed to re-employ all the old men in CO days, seniority in the service determining the priority of re employment. The officers of the com pany declare that there was no such verbal understanding. A member of the strikers' executive committee said today that this was the second time this company had broken faith with its employes and no agree ment would be accepted in the future that did not provide for the reinstate ment of all old employes within 24 hours after the execution of the agree ment. "There will be no lawlessness or demonstrations of violence this time," he continued. "By means of a vigor ous enforcement of the boycott we hope to absolutely destroy the earn ing capacity of the company." THE FOOL KILLER A SUCCESS. VisN.-n Went Safely Through Whirl pool Itiipiil* in lli* Strunge Craft. Niagara Falls, July 10. —Peter Nis sen, of Chicago, or Mr. Bowser, as he styles himself, went through the whirl pool rapids of the Niagara river yes terday afternoon in the presence of about 10,000 persons, in his craft, the Fool Killer. The boat was towed to a rock about one mile above the rapids and secured. The point was difficult to reach by officials from either the American or Canadian shores who might have been disposed to interfere with the much advertised adventure. At 4:50 the Fool Killer got into the whirlpool current and started for the final plunge. Passing under the Canti lever bridge, the boat took on the speed of an express train. Bowser threw his oar far from him and waved his cap. The crowd saw the craft rise on the crest of a smooth wave and then dive into the leaping spray and disap pear. The strange craft turned over and over like a top, rolling and plung ing until it passed a bend in the river, and the most perilous part of the journey had been passed. The buoy ant craft kept on the crest of the waves until submerged again on the verge of the whirlpool. Shooting into the whirlpool the Fool Killer swung around and went down like a fishing bob, but rose again quickly. For the next 55 minutes Nissen and his boat I circled around the whirlpool. Shortly before 6 o'clock the Fool Killer was carried out to the edge of the rapids and a line was thrown by Bowser to men on shore, who hauled him in. He appeared to be little the worse for his mad ride. "Had I known just how bad the whirlpool rapids are I would never have attempted that trip," he said. EiiiliPror AYillinin to the* Sailor*. Kiel, July 10. —Addressing the first naval division, prior to its departure for China yesterday. Emperor William said: "Yours is the first division of armored ships which I send abroad. Remember, you will have to fight a cunning foe, provided with modern weapons, to avenge the German blood which has flowed. But spare the wo men and children. I shall not rest till China is subdued and all the bloody deeds are avenged. You will fight to gether with the troops of various na tionalities. See that you maintain good comradeship with them."
