New Court House.
Tho supremo court having decided
that Luzerne county has no authority
to use one more foot of ground of the
Public Square at Wilkesbarre than is
occupied by the present court house,
the selection of another site is in order.
No person who has occasion to tran
sact business in the present court house
will claim that the offices are what they
should be. The business of the county
is increasing every year, and the work
done in the court house long ago sur
passed the accommodations.
Thousands of important records, af
fecting the interests of nearly every
property owner in Luzerne and Lacka
wanna counties, lie there without pro
tection from lire. This in itself is suf
licient to warrant the expenditure
necessary to erect a new structure with
lire-proof vaults, for no amount of
money can replace those records should
they be destroyed.
The two questions upon which people
may honestly divide are the amount to
be appropriated and the site of the new
building. If jobbery is left out in select
ing plans and letting contracts the first
can easily be solved, and good judgment
exercised by the ollicials in charge
ought to settle the second to the satis
faction of every taxpayer.
A new court house Is needed and
ought to be built.
Over Fifty Thousand.
From the Phila. North American.
Two weeks ago The North American
stated that the total casualties in the
English army in South Africa were just
about fifty thousand. Since the figures
were printed they have been corrobor
ated and confirmed by the official state
ments of the British government that
tho total of the men Incapacitated now
amounts to about one-fourth of the
whole British force in South Africa, the
greatest force which Great Britain has
mustered against any one enemy during
the present century.
Nor is this all. Even if a peace wore
patched up tomorrow it would be neces
sary for Great Britlan to keep many
thousands of troops in South Africa for
years to come, and the drain upon her
lighting strength would be constant and
considerable. Already thousands of.the
host homes in England and many in the
faraway colonies are in mourning, and
well may the question, Is it worth the
price? grow larger every day in the life
and current literature of the country.
State Senatorship.
The defeat for renomi nation of State
Senator Scott has not been gracefully
accepted by his friends, to judge by the
rumors floating around the county.
Scott seems to be convinced that his
failure to obtain a place on tho ticket
was due to underhand work on the part
of the political manipulators of the
county, consequently he Is not disposed
to accept the. result as the will of a
majority of his party.
There is talk of nominating tho sen
ator on an independent ticket in order
to defeat Drury, but as very few of the
prominent Republicans of the district
will endanger their future prospects by
aiding a bolting movement it is not
likely that the Scott faction will carry
their resentment so far.
In 1884 the Prohibition vote broke the
record and gave the Empire state to
Cleveland, thus electing him. In 1U0() 1
tho Prohibition vote will, perhaps, got
tho anti-imperialistic vote of the Repub
lican party, and may again break the
record and give New York to the Demo
crats.
Russians ROUT BOXERS
; Invaders of Amur Defeated at
Blagovestchensk.
MASSACBE IS AGAIN EEPOBTED,
Positive Statement From St. Peter*-
iHiriv That It Oecnrred on July O.
Viceroy of Nankin, Like 1.1 Hun iff
('liana:. Summoned to Peking.
London, July 20.—A dispatch from St.
Petersburg, dated July lb. says that the
rhiuese have been completely routed
from their position at Blagovestchensk,
and it is now occupied by a strong body
of Russian troops.
The government has ordered all pro
vincial governors to stop migrations to
Biberia, the railway line being
for the use of troops.
General Oerngross, commander of the
Manehurian railway guards, and Chief
Engineer Yougoviteh are surrounded by
Chinese at Harbin, where they are iso
lated as completely as the foreigners in
Peking. Harbin is a considerable settle
ment in tlie center of Manchuria and is
the principal station and starting point
of the railway now under construction.
Three detachments of troops are rapid
ly converging then' from the north, east
and west, and it expected that they will
surprise the Chinese.
Certain portions of the Amur territory, !
comprising the first division of the Kha- :
harovsk district, the towns of Blago- j
vestcheusk, Khabarovsk and Nikolsk, i
Ussuri. and Vladivostok have been de- i
el a red in a state of war from July 17.
Rumor is still busy with the fate of
the foreigners in Peking. Each day fur
nishes reports tending alternately to en
courage and crush hope. The latest as
surances of Li Hung ('hang and a Che
fu rumor, coming byway of Berlin, re
porting their safety are now offset by a
dispatch to The Telegraph from its St.
Petersburg correspondent, who says he
LI HUNG CHANG,
has learned from a thoroughly trust
worthy source that the Russian govern
ment is in possession of definite olHeial
news confirming the reports of the massa
cre and stating that none of the foreign
ers survives. The massacre occurred
on July (J, he says, and it is noteworthy
that news of it reached St. Petersburg
the same day.
Another Viceroy Called to I'ckliiKi
Of today's fresh news from China per
haps the most important is a statement
that Liu Ivnn Yi, the proforeign and ap
parently trusted viceroy of Nankin, has
been, like Li Hung Chang, summoned to I
Peking by an imperial edict and that he ;
has been instructed to hand his seals to |
Sung Shou, the Mantchoo governor of
Kiangsi. The report comes from Bhang- j
hai and is transmitted hy correspondents
who can usually he depended upon. Oue j
of them, however, does not assert the
truth of the Veport positively.
The importance of the step, if true, lies 1
in the removal of a moderating influence
from Nankin and the consequent crea
tion of alarm among the foreigners, who
seem to apprehend indefinite dangers.
The withdrawal of Li Hung Chang lias
aroused extraordinary alarm in Canton |
and the neighborhood. It seems to he
taken for granted that Tak Shu, govern
or of Canton, will be unable to hold the
rabble in order. The wealthy, educated
Chinese are quite as much alarmed as
the foreigners.
On Tuesday last the Cantonese mer
chants caused placards to be posted in
the streets protesting against Earl Li's
departure and invoking the responsible
residents to induce him to stay in Canton.
They thronged the viceroy's yainen at.
dawn and begged him on their knees to
remain. Thousands of lanterns inscribed,
"We humbly and respectfully entreat
your excellency to stay." were suspended
about the yainen and at the city gates.
Li Hung Chang appeared to be much
moved. He declared that he did, not dare
to disobey the ediet summoning him to
Peking. He urged Ins petitioners to use
their influence to induce the inferior
classes to respect the laws.
LI Believe* Minlatem Are Safe.
The petitioners then tried to block the
streets and to keep the gates of the city
shut to prevent his going, but soldiers
cleared a passage to the quay.
Before sailing Li Hung Chang tohl Mr.
McWnde, the American consul, that the
dHvager empress had appointed him vice
roy of Chili and that he would never re
turn to Canton. He also positively reit
erated his belief that the ministers were
safe in Peking.
All the Chinese shopkeepers in Canton
have removed their English signboards.
The wealthy families are leaving the city
as rapidly as possible.
Borne further unofficial details of the
capture of Tien tsin on July 14 are to the
effect that the American casualties were
32 killed and 3S wounded. The native
city was completely destroyed by the al
lies. The loot they secured was worth
1,500,000 taels. The lighting was ex
tremely severe.
The Chinese showed unexpected com
bative qualities and stood the hail of the
machine guns and lyddite shells with the
greatest bravery. Once they charged
the Sikhs with the bayonet, but were re
pulsed. Corpses lying breast high were
found in the city. It is feared that the
decomposing bodies will cause a pesti
lence.
According to a report from Tokyo SO
( guns, of which 10 are of the most mod
ern type, were captured in the barracks
Which the Japanese and Russians seized
after the fall of the city.
Tlie Itimarr In tlie Month,
The Shanghai correspondent of The
Times, dating his dispatch July 17, says
" that unless the arrival of re-enforcements
' enables the allied commanders in the
north to actively assume the offensive li !
is doubtful whether the southern vice- j
roys, in view of the increasing opposi
tion of the provincial officials, will he able
to maintain their declared policy. Signs
are not lacking in the attitude of Vice
roy Liu Klin Yi himself that this policy
is liable to modification.
It is inevitable that the mandarins as:
a body should sympathize with Prince j
Tuan's movement. They are only deter
red from immediate activity by fear. On
Wednesday Liu Kun Yi, in compliance
with the consuls' request, renewed his
prohibition of further military activity at
the Woosung forts.
Japanese Troops 11 live I.auric*].
Under Foreign Secretary Brodriek stat
ed in the house of commons yesterday i
that 14,000 Japanese troops had been j
landed or were on the way to China on
July 17. Two thousand additional Japn
nose troops would start for the scene ol
the present trouble before Sunday.
Mr. Brodriek also stated that vessels
Which had been hired and some gun
boats were ready to pick up any refugee*
from China. Mr. Warren, the British
consul at Shanghai, had been empowered
to take any steps that were necessary tc
bring away refugees.
It is stated that Lieutenant General Sii
Francis Grenfell, governor of Malta, will
command the British troops in China
lie has seen service in the Kaffir and
Zulu wars and in the Egyptian cam
paigns. 1
The Telegraph's Canton correspondent,
in a dispatch dated July 17, says that in
defiance of the viceregal proclamation
forbidding the Chinese to ill treat for
eigners some soldiers assaulted an Amer
ican medical missionary, crying, "Kill
the foreign devil!"
A number of the soldiers were arrested,
and six of them have been beheaded.
THE POWERS TRIAL.
Culton Snyn Defendant Didn't Want
(jioeltel Shot.
Lexington, Ivy., July 20.—Yesterday
was a trying day for W. 11. Culton, out
of the chief witnesses for the prosecution
in the trial of Caleb Powers, charged
with being accessory before the fact tr,
the Goebel murder. At the morning
session the prosecution completed ij*
long direct examination of the witness
and he was given over to the defense foi
cross examination. He was plainly nerv
ous under the questioning of former Rep
resentative W. C. Owens, who is counted
one of the most skill fid cross examiner*
in the state.
Culton declared that while he was in
jail with Powers at Frankfort Powers
begged him not to go on the witness
stand in the hearing of his (Gultoii's)
motion for bail. The witness told Pow j
ers he wanted to get bail, as his family !
needed him.
Powers told him he would see to it that
his family was provided for if witnes
would agree not to go on the stand. The
witness said he refused the offer.
Colonel Owens gained a half admission
that Powers at a conference had opposed
any violent measures against Goebel.
"Sheriff Burton of Breckinridge couti
t.v said he knew of away to settle th
contest," said the witness, "and held up
a large cartridge in oue hand, saying
'This is the way.' "
"What did Powers say to that?"
"lie said he did nut think that was
right."
"To refresh your memory," said Colo
uel Owens, "did he not say that he had
more at stake than any one else and that
if such actions were persisted in he would
resign his office and quit?"
"1 think he used the expression," said
the witness.
Then followed perhaps the most siguifi
cant portion of Culton's testimony.
"Did you not say at the examination
you knew of no conspiracy to kill Goe
bel?" was asked.
"Yes, sir," said the witness, "and 1
know of none now."
George G. Fetter, president of the Fet
ter Printing company ut Louisville, dif- j
fered from other witnesses on an impor- j
tant point.—Fetter testified that he was i
40 feet behind Goebel when lie fell. lie
said the shot seemed to come from be j
tween the statchouse aud the office ol
the adjutant general.
Fifty MiNNtonnricM Safe.

Norfolk, July 20.—Orders have been re

APPOINTMENT OF ME. EOOKHILL
Well Vi'r.pil In Oriental AlTairH. lit l
Is Gxiieoteil to Do Hood Service HI
Tabu—l.onu Meet Inn of the Cabinet
to Discuss Sit out ion.
Washington. July 20.—After a stay ol
two days in the city, during which hi
has had several consultations with his
cabinet on the Chinese situation, the
president started back for Canton lust
night, taking the 7:45 express on the I
Pennsylvania railroad. With him als.
went Secretary Cortelyou, Colonel Weld j
C. Hayes and Mr. William Barber, tin i
president's nephew. They occupied tin I
private car Grassmere. The president j
cume to the station unattended during a 1
thunderstorm. lie was met by several
members o£ his cabinet, including Sec
retary Boot and Postmaster General
Charles Emory Smith; both of whom had
a brief private consultation with him lie
fore the train left. General Corbin also
was at the station.
Coincident with the selection of Mr
William Woodville Itockhill as special
commissioner to China it developed that
negotiations are under way between tin |
powers for the assembling of nu interna j
tional congress to determine the futurt i
of China.
These two events are correlative and
are of the utmost importance, viewed from !
both a national and international stand i
point. Mr. Rockliill will be given in j
struetions to make a thorough investigu !
tion and a full report upon the Chinese I
trouble, and his views will play an impor j
tant part in determining the policy of tin |
administration. The international eon i
gress to he hold to decide upon the coursi I
the powers shall pursue with respect ti: |
China will he largely influenced by tin i
attitude of the United States.
China occupied the serious considera
tion of the cabinet. The suggestion of an
international congress to discuss the en
tire Chinese question has been favorably
received in official quarters here.
Administration officials said that the
report that M. Deleasse. the French mill
istcr of foreign affairs, had sent a circu
lar note to the powers proposing an inter
national agreement for joint action in
China and the future attitude of the
powers was an error, though they would
not deny that representations had been
made by Usance, and further questioning
elicited the fact that the proposition foi
convening an international congress wu*
under consideration.
It was suggested that Mr. RockhiU't
dispatch to Asia at this time may be foi
the purpose of participating in an inter
national conference to he held in the fni ;
east. Such a conference will be entirely !
distinct from any congress that may hi j
called. The congress will probably meet j
in Berlin.
Mr. Ilockhlir* Fitness.
Mr. Koekliill's mission is to make an in
vestigation of and report upon the en tin
Chinese trouble and to make such repre
sentation to the Chinese officials as may
he necessary. lie will, to all intents and
purposes, be the minister plenipotentiary ;
of the United States, as he will he accred
ited in a diplomatic capacity and will dis
cuss matters with the several viceroys
who arc at peace with the world. He i
expected to visit the principal Chines#
ports, and, in fact, to utilize every prop
cr channel to obtain the information the
president desires.
Mr. Bockhill's experience in China and
long diplomatic career especially lit him
to perform the duty for which the presi
dent has selected him. He was secretary
of the American legation in Peking whei. |
Mr. John Hussell Young was minister
and while serving as chief clerk of the t
state department, third assistant scereta I
ry of state and first assistant secretary of
state he devoted particular attention ti. j
Chinese affairs. He was appointed Min
ister to Greece, Servia and Roumanin it.
181)7 and resigned that position last yeai
to accept an appointment as director of
the bureau of American republics.
The president has appointed Brigadiei
General A. B. Chaffee. U. S. Y„ who is ;
to command the American military force*
in China, a major general of volunteer*
in order that itis rank should he com I
niensurate with his command. This ac
tion was received with great satisfaction
at the war department and in official cir
cles generally, where General Chaffee ii
held in the highest esteem. He is eott
sidered by his brother officers as one of
the most capable and thoroughly equip
ped soldiers in the service. Although
General Miles recommended that Majoi
General Bates, now in the Philippines. ;
he assigned to the command of the troop*
in China, he is well pleased with the pro
motion of General Chaffee. His reeofn- :
niendation was made on the ground that
the services called for required an office!
of the rank of a major general, and he
named General Bates for the reason
mainly that General Chaffee held only
the rank of a brigadier general.

Seattle. Wash., July 20.—The trans
port Athenian, from St. Michael's July
3. reports the loss of 50 miners from
Dawson. They had conic down the Yu
kon in small floats and, not being familial
with the stream, had taken the southern
