ENGLAND rs READY TO FIGHT.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 14.-Sir Edwin
Arnold was interviewed on the fight
between English troops and hill-men
in India. He said: 1.-THE crisis is I'M
usually alarming for the special reason
that the blood of Englishss officers has
been spilled in the skirmish near Gil
git. TO one familiar with Anglo-I Indian
history and spirit, the gravity of such
fact can hardly be explained. With the
blood of English officers already split,
war will follow any action save the most
complete restoration and expatiation.
The British empire is prepared for war.
1t is so tremendously prepared that no
man can estimate the vast extent of the
preparation, both in money and men.

any information to inquirers. One
officer of high rank, who has recently
returned from India, was more COM
municative and said there could be no
doubt that the affairs on the frontier
of the Pamir district had reached a
most delicate and dangerous stage.
The claims made by Russia, he said,
must be greatly modified before even a
basis for negotiations can be establish
ed between the three nations concerned
Russia, China and Great Britain.

WAR WITH RUSSIA.
British Troops Fight With Tribes
men ON the Russian Frontier

LONDON, Dec. 12.-Oflcial dispatch
es received here from Calcutta state
that there has been fighting between
the British forces and the tribesmen
in the vicinity of Gilgit near the Pamir
frontier and not far from the new
boundary line recently claimed by
Russia. In short the British troops
are now face to face with frontier
tribesmen in arms who are claimed to
be under Russian Protection and most
serious events may result from this
clash of arms. Other dispatches just
received announce that Fort Chalt was
captured on Dec. 2, and that seven Sc
poys were killed and twenty-six
wounded. Colonel Durand, the dis
patch adds, and Captain Aylmer and
Lieutenant Gorton and others, were
slightly wounded.
Excitem emit i'm London.
Reports of the conflict on the Pamir
frontier reached this city in time for
them to spread to the clubs and othea-
ters. Tho result was feeling of con-
siderable excitement and there were
many old Indian officers who gravely
shook their heads upon hearing the
news, saying that it was the most Sc
rious that had come from India for
many day. The younger officers, ma
turally, were elated and were loud in
their expressions Of hope that the long
expected war with Russia was to come
at last, and that the British lion and
the Russian bear were to engage in
the long anticipated struggle for SUI
premaey in the East, and for the pos
session Of India, the richest prize in
the East. The excitement increased
rapidly and the general opinion is, at
midnight, about the clubs and such
places, that the war with Russia is
looming up on the horizon in India.
In any case, it is certain that the
whole Pamir question will now be
raised in deadly earnest.

ment Mt HARD Labor.
FARGO, N. D., Dec. 1.-THE famous
Remington murder trial closed during
the evening. The case was given to
the jury at 6 o'clock. Attorney Hill
dreth made very eloquent speech for
the defense, arguing, that a number of
actions of the prisoner before and after
killing Agent Flett, shows that he was
deficient mentally. He was followed
by Attorney General Spencer, who
closed in behalf of the state. Judge
McConnell's charge to the jury occu-
pied nearly an hour in reading, and
was generally regarded as eminently
fair. The jury was out about four
hours, and at 10 o'clock came into
court with verdict. The prisoner and
his counsel were sent for, and the
foreman announced that they found
him guilty, and fixed the penalty at
imprisonment for life at hard labor.
Very few were present, but the news
soon became known and considerable
dissatisfaction was expressed, as there
are a number of the neighbors of the
murdered elevator agent in town from
Arthur to attend the trial There has,
however, been great change in public
sentiment in tho prisoners favor dur
ing the last two days, especially since
Sheriff McLaren testified he believed
Sthere was screw loose" somewhere
in the prisoners mind. The sheriff
has had the prisoner under his obser-
walton for the last nine months while
in Jail. Remington is % years old and
has two sisters and two brothers
living near here.

The Illinois Statesman is not in Favor of q
General Revision of the Tariff.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-Speaker
Crisp listened throughout the day to
arguments on committee assignments
and other matters relating to the dem
ocratic party in the house in this con-
gress. Subsequently he said nothing
had been definitely decided upon as to
the committees and that he was unable
to say whether or not he would be able
to announce them before the holidays.
MR.. sP1NGER's IDEAS.
Springer, of Illinois, who is likely to
be chairman of the ways and means
committee if Mills should be offered it
and decline the honor, said today that
his policy with reference to the tariff
was to provide for free wool, free salt,
free lumber, free cotton, free coal and
free binding Irvine. He said: 81 don't
think we should attempt
A GENERAL REVISION
of the tariff at this time. We should
offer the country relief by passing bills
for putting articles named on the free
list and sending them to the senate. A
general tariff bill cannot be enacted a

could go on with its work, and then
subsequently get all the testimony

Troubles of the Peach Growers.


Never within the history of Kent county,
possibly, has the peach-grower been visited
by so bitter and blighting series of disap-
pointments as has been visited upon him
in the present peach crop. The promises
of rich reward for his waiting, disappoint-
ments and labors have faded away with
the advance of the season. At the first of
the the season tte sezae extent respensi-
BILE for his own misfortune in many cases
shipping inferior and poorly assorted fruit,
but at present this cannot be said. The
fruit is now Of magnificent quality, and
nature has assorted much of it on the trees,
for in many orchards each peach is
picture in size and beauty, and with thous-
ands of baskets of this elegant fruit ready
for market, the shipper has been confront
ed with state of affairs calculated to
drive him into state Of righteous indigna-
tion. Thousands of baskets ready to ship
and at the depot with no cars in which to
ship them.
Matters reached climax at Chestertown
station on Tuesday morning, when there
was fruit sufficient to load twelve cars
with but two cars to receive them. Some
one is responsible for this mismanagement,
or almost absolute want of any manage
ment whatever. Who is it? 1t is claimed
that the trouble is that the B. & D. B. R.
R., in trying to absorb the entire ship
ment of fruit for the Jersey Central system
to the exclusion of the Pennsylvania road
have Over-reached their capacity; and
now that the B. & D. B. road finds itself
in hole, the Pennsylvania people refuse
to come to their assistance with cars. 1t
is stated that peaches shipped to different
northern points have been delayed even
after cars have been secured, for two days
and nights at Bombay Hook, awaiting
transportation and in some cases car
loads of fruit have been turned into mar
kets to which they were not consigned
without any authority of the shippers
whatever. One gentleman had carload
of fruit which he had sold and consigned
to market at rs and 80 cents, turned into
a market at 25 and 80 cents.-Chester.

A strange suicide.

just as day was breaking Friday
morning the dead body of a man was
found lying in the foot-path along the
causeway leading to Wilmington, and
about 200 yards beyond the New
Castle cut off of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad.
The body lay on its left side with the
feet toward New Castle and the head
in the direction of Market street
bridge. The hat lay near the head
about two feet distant. Just over the
region of the heart and two inches
from the nipple was gaping wound,
which rent the mans clothing and
caused the blood to trickle down over
his vest and form a pool on the foot
path under the body.
The body was placed in the morgue
and was not identified until Tuesday
when Harry F. Williams of Chicago,
recognized the remains as those Of his
brother, James B. Williams. The dead
man had been melancholy for some
time and had written his brother some
time ago, intimating that be was tired
of living. He was prominent young
civil engineer and quite wealthy. His
were sent home.

| propriated by the United States Govern
.ment for the building of two torpedo stations
on the Delaware river one at Fort Della
ware, opposite Delaware City, and one at
the Battery about quarter of q mile be-
low Delaware City. A torpedo battery
was begun at the Delaware Battery several
years ago, when appropriations were made
annually for the building of that fortifica-
tion. These appropriations ceased when
the battery was about half finished. The
new one w,d be built upon the same site.
Work is expected to begin about the middle
of September The building of these two
stations will give employment to large
number Of people from Delaware City.
= On Saturday night passenger on the
Ericsson Line steamer made narrow es-
cape from drowning in the canal. While
the steamer was being locked from the
river into the canal-an operation taking
about ten minutes, he thought he might
get something to refresh him at one of the
hotels, for which he made bee line. After
for the boat, which was moving out of the
lock, and almost clear of it. A direct line
from the hotel to the boat lay across the
canal basin, and the stranger being un-
acquainted with the route ran overheard.
No one saw him go over, but his cries for
help brought number to his rescue, and
he was soon ished out and placed on the
boat, which had landed at the wharf above
to take on some freight.
- Mr.. A. Colburn, whose creamery, on
one of his farms near Delaware City, was
recently destroyed by fire, has purchased a
piece of land from Mrs. Kate Colwell,
along the railroad, near the depot, on
which he began the erection of new
creamery this week. This creamery will
be fitted up with the latest Improvements
in creamery machinery. The separators
will be the Russian" model, recently in
vented by Sharpless & Co., of West
Chester, Pa. They are new departure in
separators, being operated by direct steam
on the bowl alone, requiring no betting,
gear or other complicated attachments.
They are run with thirty five pounds pres
sure, and do not require special boiler as
steam may be tapped from boiler of any
capacity from four horse power upward,
making six thousand revolutions of the
bowl per minute. The creamery will be
in the charge of Mr.. John Wortz, who
managed the other creamery. The milk
from Mr.. Colburn's five farms will be
worked in the creamery besides that from
number of other farms In the vicinity. 4
The Pennsylvania railroad company will
erect a platform to receive the shipments |
of butter and cream from this creamery.
Mr.. Colburn is one of the prominent bust
ness men of Philadelphia, and we are
pleased to see him taking an interest in
our town. The building is being erected
by Mr.. George F. Shuster.

The line for the transportation OF
peaches from Chestertown and other
points on the eastern shore, to Jersey

the passage over the bay from Bonn

adequate arrangements have been
