Tramps Have a Fight.

LAYTON, Pa, August 23.-On Thurs
day four tramps, two of whom were
able-bodied and and two whom were one
legged men, formed begging combina-
ton at Dawson. The cripples begged
money, with which the others bought
whiskey. They boarded Baltimore and
Ohio freight train, but were put off at.this
place. After drinking for some time the
able-bodied men wanted the cripples to
go and beg more money. This they re-
fused to do. A row ensued, in which
the cripples used their crutches with tell
ing effect. The combination was broken
up by the fight and the two able bodied
men left on a freight train, leaving the
cripples victorious of the battle.

other day in speaking of the Presidential
nomination, said: "Of course, if Mr..
Pattison should seek the nomination

he would get it and they would support

THE Mckinley tariff says the Phila-
delphia Times means wanton, cruel
taxes on the necessaries of life without
compensation to any but monop-
olists. The Blaine reciprocity system is
neither more or less than free trade,
less, by fair trade, as the reciprocal in
terest of the treaty-making countries de-
mand. If the Mckinley tariff bill shall
be sustained by the country, the Blaine
reciprocity policy must be abandoned
If the Blaine reciprocity shall prevail
the Mckinley tariff system must be over
thrown

Ready for an Invasion.

LONDON, August 21.-The Standard s
correspondent at Braila reports an enor-
mus increase of the Russian troops on
the Austrian frontier. He says that the
Bessarabia frontier guards, formerly a
mere gendarmery corps toprevent SNUG
Cling, have grown into a permanent ad-
vance guard, ready to invade Austria in
few hours notice. Large forts and OBJ
servations towers are being rapidly built,
and the Russian government has given a
heavy subsidy TO the Black Sea and Dan
ube Shipping company to erect a large
dockyard at REM and to forward troops
to any part of the Black Sea. The con-
struction of pontoons is actively proceed
ing at Reni, to be placed at various towRs
for the transportation of troops, and
barracks are being built in the vicinity
of Reni for >, 900 men.

No man with the record of Governor
Pattison, says the Savannah (Ga.) Netcs,
can be kept out of the field Of national
politics if he desires TO enter it. His
political record is a phenomenal one.
Indeed, it has not parallel in the poll
tical history Of the country. Pennsyl-
vania has a remarkable large Republican
majority, and Philadelphia is strong
Republican city. Governor Pattison,
however, has been elected TO the office
Of Controller of Philadelphia, and has
been chosen Governor twice He has
never been defeated in Il political con
test. Whenever he has been candi-
date the better class of Republicans have
voted for him, not because they like his
politics, but because they know him to
be thoroughly honest man. To his
integrity he owes his success.

THE failure of the European grain
crops and the consequent demand for
American cereals and naturally the large
advance in prices, have for some days
past absorbed the attention Of our tinan-
ciers as well as that of the farmers, the
latter being jubilant, while the former
are IN a fever of excitement, not know
ing exactly what to do. In the mean
time the great Western crops, now al
ready harvesting, are being gathered in
and made ready for market. The prop
oSition of the leaders of the Alliance
party that the farmers should hold back
their farm products, and thereby be as
sured of better prices, has not, as far as
is learned, been received with much
favor. The fact is, the farmers are not
as a general thing prepared to adopt the
suggestion. Their financial condition is
not such as warrant them in withhold
ing. They need the money too badly
for that, and no doubt the bulk of them
will take advantage of the present profit
able prices, sell and realize.

Another Ocean Record Broken.

The white Star line steamer Teutonic,
which arrived at New York on Wednes-
day morning from Liverpool, beat the
record for western passages. Her time
from Queenstown TO the Sandy Hook
bar was five days, eighteen hours and
thirty-one minutes. This is one hour
and thirty minutes faster than her sister
ship, the Majestic, on her last trip from
Liverpool, which then made the fastest
westward passage up to that time. One
day the Teutonic steamed 517 miles,
which also beats the record of speed for
day. Following are the daily returns OF
the Teutonic: August 10, 1876 miles;
August 16, sos miles; August II, SIC
miles; August IS, 517 miles; to Sandy
Hook, 800 miles. Total, 2,77S miles.

on Saturday afternoon and the loss OF
life is reported at about one hun
dred. The fall was instantly followed
by fire and very few people who were in
the building escaped. Not since the
Brooklyn theater fire has there been such
a terrible disaster. The weight of the
machinery in the building is supposed
to have caused the wreck.

Is the Emperor Of Germany Insanel

A correspondent writing from Berlin states
that the Germans are disturbed and anxious
about the rumors with regard to Emperor Will
liam's mental health, il being suspected that
the Kaiser is insane, various recent events
giving rise to the fear that the imperial mind
is uuhinged. Something strange and shifty
looking has been noticed in the eyes Of the
young sovereign for some time past, which is
ssid TO remind persons strongly Of the late
King of Bavaria. The Emperor's growing taste
for the drama is thought 70 be sinister anal
ogy between the two MOnarehs Everything
relating to the stage seems TO fascinate him,
and some months ago he ordered general Off.
Ger to teach the ballet at the opera house mil
itary dance. Tho Kaiser's we'll known mania
for changing his uniforms is considered another
odd symptom, he having been seen in IL differ
ent military and civilian costumes in one day,
and on one occasion he donned an AdmiraPs
uniform to go out boating. The most serious
part Of the matter Is his tendency TO extend his
freaks TO German politics. He recently said
" it was the duty OF Germans to follow their
Emperor blindly and everywhere" which SEN
timent does not find echo in the breast Of many
Of his subjects. But the greatest of all the
perils 10 which Germans are exposed by Will
liam's Testlessness, lie in his conduct Of foreign
affairs, and they are in constant dread that he
will involve the Fatherland in bloody war
with both Russia and France.

The Chilean sifnniIon-

While all Is quiet in Chile at present il
would not seem that the authorities at Wash
ington have accepted as literal truth President
Months statement that the forces Of the Chilean
army and navy will DO materially reduced.
This is due TO advices from our naval officers
in Chile, coupled with information from Europe.
There appears to be considerable inconsistency
between what the Chileans say they intend to
do and what they are doing.
Representatives OF the new Chilean Cover
nment are now in Germany makinga special
study of the latest war equipments and tactics
of the German army. There is also talk in
Chile OF making war service compulsory, as it
is in the Fatherland.
Chilean officers have been sent 10 other coun-
tries in Europe to study and procure certain
small-arms. Word has been received here that
a special agent has been sent TO France to
hurry the completion Of the Captain Pratt,
the largest and most effective battle-sh in
Chile's ship list. There have been signs Of
activity in the repairing of the crippled forces
OF the naval and military establishments.
The Baltimore affair has not yet been def
nitely settled. This Government may have to
cOneede some points with regard TO the pun
ishment of the offenders, but nothing has oe-
Cured to change the opinion Of the Admins
tratiOn about our right for indemnity and
apology. These will DO insisted upon, what
ever the reply of the Chilean Government
may be.

A Seaman,a Wit.

There is a certain naval officer who has on
several occasions come very near rendering
himself immortal as a wit, although those who
know him best say that n sense Of humOF is not
his most conspicuous quality.
lie is q carpenter by rank, and as such it is
his duty to sound the ships we'll at 8 o'clock
every evening and report the depth Of water in
the bilge. One night, when the ship was cruis-
ing nea arocky coast, the sounding rod reveal
ed two feet Of water smashing about the bilges.
The carpenter made note Of the fact, and shortly
after he had reported the result Of his investi-
CATION the engineer started the steam pumps
and In a few minutes the ship was pumped dry.
An hour or 80 later the ship went ashore and
In the excitement and confusion that followed
the First Lieutenant found time TO send mes
senger to the carpenter ordering him to sound
the well Immediately and report. The carpen-
ter dropped the soundingrod into the tube
and, drawing il up again, looked in cOnsterna-
tiOn at ITS unwet surface.
"Whew!" he calculated, "worse than
thought"
what shall I tell the First Lieutenant ?"
asked the impatient messenger.
"Neyer aind, I'll report in person." said the
carpenter, and climbing up the bridge where
the executive was shouting orders, he sOlemnly
big hole stove in her bottom.
''Great Scott is that sO?" exclaimed the
officer, as he countermanded an order to slew
up q sail and gave another one to stand by the
boats.
"True as you live" said the carpenter,
there was two feet Of water in the biges just
now, and she must have been stove in, for every
drop has run out"
After this effort the carpenters associates
were quite prepared to hear him tell a boats
crew one day that he wanted to hear them all
keep perfect silence"

Revolt In China,

A revolt has arisen in China during the past
week. IL is officially described as a raid of
MongOian robbers. In Manchuria the rebels
defeated the Imperial forces sent against them.
Further attachments Of troops have been
ordered forwarded.
The rebels in their southwark march occu-
pied towns without resistance being made by
the populace AT all the places through which
they passed the rebels made acquisitions upon
the inhabitants for supplies. They arc at
latest reports advancing on Pekin. The pop
ulation Of large area, actuated partly by in
clination and partly by fear Of the rebel SOL
dierly, have Joined the movement, together
with several mandarins.
The details Of the massacre Of the Belgian
missionaries at TakOw by the rebels are hoTri-
bic. The slaughter commenced with the kill
ing of native converts, who were put to death
with fendish cruelty. Children Of tender years
were seized by the savages, hacked with knives
and roasted at huge fire. worse fate still
befell the nuns who were subject TO the gross
est indignities and afterWaTd Drained them
with massive clubs. The Belgian priests were
cruelty tortured, but met their fate with Chris
tian resignation.
The foreign diplomatic body at Pekin are
simply furious. The whole European colony
is boiling with Indignation.
