forms. That is simply an hallucina-
ton. If the Democratic party had
full control of the Government and
Senators George and Walthall could
direct the policy of the party, this
would doubtless be safe dependence.
But it is by no means certain that the
Democratic party will obtain full con-
troll of the government again for years,
if ever, and if it does, sucf men as
Geol ge and Waltllall will not be su-
preme in its councils. Ever since the
day of reconstruction Southern men
have had little voice in shaping the
platform of the National Democracy.
When work of that kind is to be done,
they march up with obsequiOus air,
hat in hand for orders, to the Democ-
racy of New York and other Eastern
States, and Wall street influences are
always the controlling factor there.
No better proof is needed of this than
the fact that Mr.. Cleveland, who re-
fleets Wall streets position in his op-
position to the free coinage of silver,
is to-day the most popular Demo-
cratic candidate for the Presidency,
though Southern and Western Demo-
Gratis are ardently in favor of free
coinage. The party is not agreed
among themselves on any platform
that would insure financial relief to
the country.

upon at any moment to take effective action
In this city. At the present state OF affairs
great excitement prevails, and Is still in
creasing. High tension exists between the
Chinese government and the ministers Of
foreign powers. From all appearances the
former are obstinate in their refusal to re-
dress the injury done to foreigners during
the recsnt riots. Some people say that the
government dare not take this step demand
ed in common justice to the powers, for fear
Of incurrlng storm Of popular disapproval.
On the other hand, there Is also no reason to
DOUBT that If the Chinese authorities do not
yield to the demands of the ministers OF the
powers concerned, hostile action upon the
part Oh the various Dations represented In
these waters Is imminent.
1t Is now known that the foreign ministers
have been compelled to inform the Chinese
government that joint naval demonstration
OF an effective nature, In which the French,
American, British aud German squadrons
will take part, will be ordered In the near
future unless speedy reparatiOn Is made for
the injuries, outrages and abuses complained

A FLAW IN the LAW.
The New Court May Not Help After

CHICAGO. August II. "A local paper says /:
The object Of the law creating the new
United States Circuit Court Of Appeals.
which was intended to relieve the Supreme
Courts crowded dockets, may be defeated by
little clause in the law which United States
District Attorney MilchrIst discovered when
looking over the latest Federal statutes.
Among the cases which the law says may
be appealed directly to the Supreme Court
are cases Of conviction OF a capital or other
wise Infamous crime. Infamous crimes con-
template imprisonment In the penitentlary,
and In this class Of offenses are included the
thousand and one violations of the postal
laws, internal revenue laws, laws relating to
smuggling and counterfeiting. all Of which
can be appealed to the Supreme Court under
the little section above quoted.
:, Mr.. Milchrist said II looked to him as IL
the great number of criminal cases that might
De appealed to the Supreme Court might
overbalance the number of other cases Of
which the Court Of Appeals relieved the Su-
preme Court, and thus leave the Supreme
Court In as crowded condition as before
the law was enacted"

Mr.. Jenkins says the Welsh manufactur

to make tin plate under the protection of the
Mckinley duty. They now recognize that
they must eventually lose one-half of their
trade. He is aware that plates can be made
in Chicago at a lower cost than In England.
and, since he is a manufacturer Of experi,
ence. he does not see why he should not mt
it to account and enter the field In America
when manufacturers are so far groping in
the dark as to how to make timed plate.
He says that Williams and Edwards are
contemplating following his example. The

Company of East Tennessee will spend

1t is only helping us directly but 1t Is erea-

assists the Improvement There has been q
feeling OF ineasiness all around until recent

money market, but now a much more hope
ful feeling prevails In this respect and dan
gers seem to have passed.

that the government is almost without i'm

Another Mad Monarch Reignine II
the Story.is True.

PARIS, August III 'Eclair, which is not
given to sensationalism, prints the following
story as confirmed by unquestioned authori-
ty: On the night following the departure Of
the Imperial yacht Hohenzollern from Eng
land, the crew was beaten to quarters, and
was surprised to find the quarterback brill
liantly Illuminated.
An altar had been erected ON the deck,
bearing the Old and New Testaments, and
the Kaiser stood by, wearing white chasu-
BILE, with a crozier in his hand and black
and white mitre on his head. He read the
most warlike passages from the Testaments
and invited the crew to respond. He then
preached long sermon on the duly Of SOW
ereigns to their people. the whole service
lasting from IL p. m. until a. m. The crew
were then piped below.
At a. m. the Kaiser appeared on the
bridge In the uniform of high admiral,
looking extremely haggard, and addressing
the commander said: "Sir, retire TO your
cabin, l shall take CHARGE" The command
er replied: "Sire, permit me to observe that
we are IN dangerous passage, and that 1t is
advisable for Your Majesty's safety, as well
as for that Of the crew. that sailor remain
In command"
The Emperor responded; "Never mind
God will inspire me-"
The commander bowed and retired.
The second officer remaining, the Emperor
angrilg bade him retire, the officer respect
fully protesting.
TIE Emperor then said: "You resist,
wretched creature; you trouble the spirit of
God which is In me This is the vengeance
ef God upon you," dealing the officer heavy
blow on the cheek. The officer turned GRIM

him by the throat and tried to throw him

the Emperor fell and broke his kneecap.
The sailors watched the scene paralyzed
with fear. The occurrence was one that
cannot be forgotten. The Emperor howled
with pain; his eyes started from their sock
cts; he foamed at the mouth; he swore ter
ribly, and in fact displayed all the symptoms
of madness. The officers. after brief con-
sultation. carried him into a cabin padded
with mattresses. Nobody was admitted ex-
cept the doctor and the Empress. Men were
necessary to help restrain him until his leg
was bandaged and straight jacket was put
on him. The crisis lasted three days.

ANONYMOUS EXPLANATION.
Some One Says There Is No RevoIu-

New YORK, August 1.-THE following
dispatch reached the Associated Press today.
1t had no signature but doubtless emlnated
from official source
SAN SALVADOR, August II.
The reports published recently In New
York touching the revolution in Salvador
are altogether inaccurate. They were
doubtless based on circumstances connected
with the passage Of several Salvadorian
refugees from Nicaragua to Guatemala on
board the Pacific mial steamer City Of Pan
anna. Amony these refugees was Lisandro
Letona, who Is guilty OF heinouos crimes,
and against whom criminal charges were
preferred In the court Of the LIST inst, Mt
San Miguel. This court demanded in con-
formity with the law that Letona be sur
rendered, The captain Of the City Of Pam
anna In direct violation Of the law refused to
deliver him. weighed anchor and sailed away
without previous permission from the
captain OF the port. BY this act he rendered
his vessel liable to confscatlOn. 1t should
be borne In mind that the authorities Of
Salvador respected existing treaties and
made no demand for the surrender Of any
other refugees on board the City OF Panama
lt Is serious matter and the government Of
the United States should set our interest
at defiance though justice Is manifestly on
our side.
