GERMANY WANTS WAR.
It is understood that when Wal
dersee lands at Taku he will de
mand the surrender of 5 Chinese
lenders; not getting them, he will
at once declare war. for Germany.
The Germans will seize everything
iu eight, including the Chinese
cruisers.
American troops have been or
dered to leave China and eo to the
nL.'i: -
jruiiippiues.
The Chinese government has or
dered that the war with the pow
ers De con tinned at any cost,
laku, kept 22. Four thousand
Russians, 3000 Germans and 1000
French troops, with a detachment
of Austrian marines, began the
attack upon the Pei Tansr forts at
daylight. The attack was answered
by the forts, the bombardment
continuing until noon, but it was
noticed that the forts did not re
ply after 10 o'clock. "
The allies sent forward at noon
to discover the reason of the cessa
tion of the firing from the forts,
but found them deserted, there be
ing only four dead Chinamen with
in the walls. The allies were much
chagrined, as. they believed they
had the place completely sur
rounded, making escape impossi
ble, yet over 3000 men got away
io ' broad daylight. . The Hussian
artillery has proved effective and
trie forts were badly damaged.
. The British and Italian Com
manders had decided to join in the
attack, but their troops had not
arrived, in time. , , '
The entire line between Tien
Tsin and Taku shows , that rein
forcements were heading for the
forts. Three member of the allied
forces were killed and 50 were
wounded through the explosion of
mined laid along their line of
march.
Washington, Sept 22. News
from the Yangtee valley says that
in one case a missionary sad his
eyes burned out, than1 a portion of
nia body cut oil, and finally a led-
hot staff was driven through his
back. In another case, a mission
ary was wrapped in , cotton, the
cotton was soaked in oil, and the
mass set on fire. "
It appeartj that the' Pekin gov
ernment ordered the Viceroys to
assemble a large army and march
it to the north. But as the Vica
roys personally were opposed to
an anti-foreign crusade, the order
was not executed. Instead of that
one of the officials Assembled an
army of 3000 undisuipliued coolie,
who marched north as a formal
compliance with the order.
Shanghai, Sept. 23. Changes in
the plans of allied commanders in
dicate the evacuation of IV kin be
fore winter. British leaders have
countermanded the order for winter
supplies and the Americana are
also making-preparations for de
parture. All foreign residents have
been warned to prepare to leave
Pekin. , -
i : The German "Legation will soon
move elsewhere and the RuHsians
are withdrawing to Tien Tsin and
Manchuria. It is also likely that
the Japanese will make the town
of Nagasaki their winter base in
stead of some Chinese town as was
their intention. '
The missionaries are protesting
against this "desertion."
The allies are beginning to rea
lize that Pekin is, after all, an
empty prize. Communication be
tween the foreign forces, the en
voys and the Empress' government
is next to impossible. The new
capital is 400 miles from Pekin
and the journey "has to be by cart,
which requires CO days.
There has been a change in the
American fromt in the direction of
an aggressive which will probably
be the last demonstration before
the evacuation. . Gen, Wilson, with
800 U. S. Infantry, 600 British;
and six guns, aided by a German
colnmn, marched against the Boxer
city of Ta Chu, 1C miles northwest
of Pekin, and surrounded it with
the intention of capturing an arse
nal located there. Gen. Wilson's
attack was successful from the
first. There were n losses on the
foreign side. -
For the present all campaign
plans meau guerrilla warfare. The
situation in China forbids anything
else. ,
The Chinese declare that the
EmpresB and Einperer will in no
cage return to the imperial palace
in Pekin, as they hold that it has
been desecrated by the intrusion
of barbarians.

ing dispatch has been received
from Lord Roberts:
"Pretoria, Sept. 21. Methuen

. - : ELDERS TARRED.
Mansfield. 0., Sect 23. A mob
here this afternoon took Elders
Ephriam Bassinger and Silas Moot
to the .Buggy Works, where Bas
singer disrobed, but the crowd
tore Moot's clothine from his bodv.
as he refused to disrobe himself.
A paint bucket and a brush were
secured, and a smokestack varnish,
a tar-like substance, was daubed
over them from head to foot. It
was matted in their hair, and no
part of their bodies esoaped but
their faces. Their bodies were
then partially covered with their
clothing, and the elders were
marched to the home of E. H.
Lieby, a Zion follower here, who
was driven out of the city last
Sunday. There they promised not
to return to Mansfield, but lAtor
they said that they agreed not to
return unless Overseer Pioer or.
dered them to return.
TBE ' BIG STRIKE.
Philadelphia, Sept. 4. Intitead of the
expected clash between the troops and
the striking miners in the Schuyllfill
region today, a peaceful calm prevailed
in the region, and there was not the
slightest disorder for the soldiers to be
called upon to quell. In tact, all the
districts of the anthracite coal fields to
today were extremely quiet, there be
inir i o demonstration whatever on the
part of the strikers.
The sohJiers moved over the roads
leadinit to the collieries in Schuylkill
county from early morning, and thus af
forded protection to those desirous of
returning to work. No opposition was
encountered, however, and not a very
(freat many availed themselves of the
protection ottered.
The strike leaders claim many addi
tions to theii ranks, and President
Mitchell himself estimates that the
striking force was aumimented today to
the extent of 1800 to 2000.
No overtures to end the struggle have
been offered by either side. The strike
leaders are occupying themselves in in
ducing mineworkers to quit, and the
operators are endeavorinir to mine all
the coal they can with their reduced
force.
PHILIPPINE WAR.
Manila, Sept. 23. From the north
west districts oi Luzon come accounts
of insurgent bperations. Merchants in
Albay are getting their hemp to Manila
as rapidly as possible, fearing that it
will be burned by insurgents.
At Ilo Ilo there was considerable
anxiety lest an uprising should occur,
but tbe insurgents there are ceasing
their activity and retiring in white
clothing to the garrisoned towns in the
district, As a resumption of insurgent
operations is considered quite probable,
the Americans there are taking the
necessary teps. The American casu
alties in killed, wounded and miising in
the last 10 days'approach 100, including
Sihoan, at the east end of Laguna de
Bay, where the insurgents after tiie en
gagement delivered 10 bodies of our
dead.
Documents captured in Manila show
that the insurgent activity in this vicin
ity was on instructions from the Hong
Kong Junta.
Senior I'.uencamino has received from
Aguinaldo an answer regarding hi
peace proposals, Aguinaldo refuses to
consider them, and declares that be is
unwilling to agree to a compromixe.
. The amnesty expired Sept. 21, and
the conditions that existed previously
have been resumed.
An insurgent proclamation, signed by
Aguinaldo, directing that American
prisoners be set at liberty, that good
treatment be accorded to captives and
that W be paid to each American sur
rendering, has reached Manila. Few
prisoners were released by the procla
mation. Two who have just arrived
from the Cailies district report that the
iosurgenta io that locality are in better
spirits than they had displayed at any
time since April.

and healthfulness of its ingredients.
Royal Baking Powder leavens the
food perfectly by its own inherent
power without changing or impairing
any of the elements of the flour.
Thus the hot-breads, hot-rolls

Baking Powder are wholesome and
digestible, and may be eaten without
distress, even by persons of delicate
digestion.
Alum baking powders are low priced, -as alum costs but
two cents a pound ; but alum is a corrosive poison and
it renders the baking powder dangerous to use in food.

THE LOST CHORD.
Seated one day at the organ
I was weary and ill at ease,
And ray fingers wandered idly
uver tne noisy Keys.
I do not know what I was playing,
Or what I was dreaming then ;
But I struck one chord of music,
Like tne sound ot a greut Amen.
It flooded the crimson twilieht,
Like the close of an Angle's Psalm.
And it lay on my fevered spirit
Willi a toucn ct infinite calm.
It quieted pain and sorrow,
liike love overcomintr strife :
It seemed the harmonious echo
from our discordant life.
It linked all perplexed meanings
into one perfect peace.
And trembled away into silence
As if it were loth to cease.
I have sought, but I Beek it vainly,
That one lost chord divine.
Which came from the soul of the organ,
Ana entered into mine.
It may be that Death's bright angel
Will speak in that chord sgain.
It may be that only in Heaven
1 shall bear that grand Amen.
BAD SHOTS.
Let every man or boy who goes
hunting impress upon his mind
the fact that his gun is a danger
ous weapon, and let him carefully
guard Bgainst being added to the
list of those who carry through
life tbe stigma of having shot
some fellow-beine through mis
taking him for a bear or doer.
Let acres of game get away from
you rather than take chances on
snooting ai any object until voi
are absolutely certain as to what
t is.
Be careful always be careful,
and never forget thrt many of the
rifles now used will carry a ball
miles and kill. The soft-nosed
bullets thrown from some of them
on striking an animal the size of
an elk or deer will inflict a ghastly
wound into which the hand and
arm of the sportsman can be passed.
Home of these rifles carry a bullet
wmcb will bore a bole through an
oak tree a foot in diameter at a
distance of two miles.
The statisticians of the Austrian
government state that Bohemian
sportsmen during the past year
shot and killed 50 men and women
and wounded 2014 persons. They
also killed over 15,000 docs, 2
horses, 15 cows," 132 calves, 270
goats and 12!) sheep, and one young
sportsman, after having fired some
80 shots at a mark set up in a bit
of woods, discovered that he had
killed seven out of a valuable herd
of cattle feeding almost a mile
distant
Accidents will happen, but
where it is plain that they have
been caused by criminal careless
ness, proper pnnnishment should
follow.
