THAT BARNwEL1 ISLAND WALL.
1t Has Been Hit Another Hard Blow
by the st amer Condo Wilfredo.

II. Andraea, master OF the Spanish
steamship Condo Wilfredo, has been sum
moned to appear before United States
Commissioner NJ. A. Connolly this after
noon at o'clock to answer to the charge
of damaging the government works on the
Savannah river channel.
on Dec. IS. while coming up the river in
charge Of a pilot, the steamship ran into
the Barnwell Island training wall, break
ing hole about thirty feet in extent in
ii. The matter was reported to the com
missioner by one of the inspectors and a
warrant was issued. 1t seeras that the
damage to the wall by the ship was due
purely to an accident. as just at that point
one of the links in the rudder chain snap
ped in two and the ship could not be prop
erly controlled. Nevertheless the law on
the subject is ineXorable and the charge
will have to be answered to.
This is the training wall which has. been
struck by several of the steamers enter
ing the river within the last month or two.
First it was struck by the steamship
Chatham of the Merchants and Miners
Transportation line and afterwards by the
steamship Chattahoochee OF the Ocean
Steamship Companys line. The captains
all say this a bad place to get around,
and when there is a strong current from
the flow of the tide 1t is almost impossi-
BILE to avoid striking the wall. It has had
several hard blows at its upper end where
most of the damage has occurred.

NOT SEEKING a ptHoRoE.
Mrs. Russell Harrison Living with
Her Husband.

Washington. Dec. 2S.-Relatives Of Mrs.
Russell Harrison, now in this city, pro
nounce perfectly absurd the rumor that
she has taken up her residence in South
Dakota for the purpose of making appli
cation for a divorce from her husband.
They say the foundation for the rumors,
III it ever had any. doubtless arose from
the fact that Mrs. Harrison spent the
month Of August at the Hot Springs OF
South Dakota, where upon the advice Of
her physician she took her little daughter,
who IS suffering from paralysis caused
by an attack of scarlet fever while in
the white house. Little Marthena was
greatly benefited by the stay at the hot
springs and her paralysis has almost
entirely disappeared. Mrs. Harrison has
since resided in Terre Haute with her
husband. where he is president of a
street railway company. though he is
just now spending the holidays with her
parents, ex-senator and Mrs. Sanders, in
Omaha.

According to an estimate made |

road employees about e5.OO0.OOO
other wage esrners about 81, l,l5O,-

"while the Pullman employees,
who had lost about $500, 900
through their own strike before

The War In The Orient.
(States.)


With the announcement that
war had been declared between
China and Japan came the news
that hostilities had commenced,
and that the result of two naval
engagements was favorable to the
Japanese, and that the King of
Corea was q prisoner in the hands
of the Japs. It appears that Ja-
pan has q we'll officered and disci-
plined navy, and for years has
been preparing for war with her
old enemy, but it is conceded by
the military experts of Europe
that while the Japanese will be
successful in the beginning of the
war they will eventually be crush
ed by the hordes Of China. A
fact which is arousing much inter-
est is the open sympathy of Eng
land with China and the willing
ness of the British government to
give that country assistance. On
the other hand, Russia, it appears,
stands ready to give Japan a help
ing hand if the opportunity pre-
sents itself, consequently there is
some reason to believe that the
war in Orient will cause European
powers to become involved. The
Intervention of England and Rus
sia may be apparently friendly on
the face of it, but when the racket
is over China and Japan will dis
cover that their allies have gobled
large slices of their territory.
England and Russia have long
had their eyes on Asia, and been
eagerly waiting for a chance
to add to their possessions in that
part of the world. Trade interests
are also causing Europe much
concern, and to protect these may
cause some of the powers to take
part in the fray or either one side
or the other and make the China.
Japan war a very serious and
bloody affair.

WAR BETWEEN NATIONS.
No Longer Denied that Japan and China
Are on the Verge of Battle,

WAsHINGTON, June 27.-Advices re.
ceived here indicate an imminent pros
pect of the outbreak OF active hOstili
ties between Japan and China.
These countries have been several
times on the verge OF war since 1879,
when hostilities were averted by the
arbitration OF General Grant when on
his eastern travels. 1t now seems.
however. as if hostilities could no Ion
ger be averted. and there appears a
possibility that Corea. whose independ-
ence the United States has just, for the
second time, recognized, may be made
the battle ground. The claim which
China has always set up of su~Zerafnty
over Corea, while at the same time dis
claiming responsibility for Corean ac-
ton. has beer a fruitful source Of i'll
feeling.
Both China and Japan have been
sending troops to Corea. The Chinese
government has urgently requested the
withdrawal Of the japanese troops on
the ground that the troubles which
brought them to Corea are at an end.
The Japanese government is not salts
fed that this is the fact, and besides,
''tN ACA IttDE ilZc JlIC IlSHl u VIC
Chinese government to make this de-
mand. The Japanese government held
that this should apply to the Chinese as
we'll as to the Japanese troops, and
should come from the COrean govern
ment. Moreover, the present juncture
seems to it OppOrtune for reaching an
understanding with both China and
Corea, which will prevent the recur-
renee of the misunderstanding which
are continually disturbing their rela-
tons.
The Japanese government therefore
proposed to the Chinese government
that measures should be jointly taken
to bring about tranquility in COrea,
and that both governments should SO
amend and ameliorate their policies
toward that country as to assure its
future stability and prosperity. The
Chinese government rejected this pro-
position and is now sending large
bodies OF troops to Corea. The Japa-
nese government, while firmly adher-
ing to its position, has declared its in
tention Of using every reasonable pre-
caution to avoid a collision.

In reply to the article in the Bur

THE SPIRIT OF ANARCHY.

The spirit of anarchy is not alone
in France. AS Premier Crispi said
in his address to the Italian cham
bers on Monday, at is common to all
governments"
If this spirit Of opposition to gov
eminent exists SO strongly in demo-
cratic nations like France and the
United States, it must be much
stronger and more widespread under
the m%onarchlcal and despotic gov
ernmentS of Europe.
These anarchists are citizens of no
country. They + the, outlaws of
civilization. They + not only OPP
posed to the government that exists,
but are opposed to all government.
They would tear down and not build
up again.
In u own country this spirit of
anarchy is not absent. The Hay,
market riots in Chicago were mani
tcstatiOns of the spirit, and the
prompt punishment Of the offenders
had a Salutary effect. But recently
Governor Altgeld, in a spirit of
~leniency, pardOned the anarchists
who werc serving out their just sem
fences. Is this not nursing the ser
pent that shall sting US?
The murder of Carter Harrison,
the mayor of Chicago, was another
one Of these deeds that anarchy so
delights in. And the slow Justice
that lets the vile assassin live for
months, and perhaps years, is food
for anarchy.
Every violation of the law is a step
towards anarchy, which is abolition
of all law. The tarring and feather
ing of General Tarsney, the blowing
up of railroad bridges, the destruc-
ton of property, the taking ofhuman
life-all of that carnival of crime
that striking miners have shown US
during the last two months are but
the out-croppings of this same spirit
of lAwlessness, for anarchy is law
leSsness.
Coxey's foolish march to WASH
ington, the stealing of railroad trains
by the so-called "Industrials," their
destruction OF property, was nothing
but the spirit of anarchy showing
itself in deeds.
Every time an ~infraction of the
law is suffered to go UNPUBLISHED,
we throw a sop to anarchy. Every
encouragement Of violence is an en-,
enlargement of anarchy. Every
deed of vice, every abuse of public
trust, is an invitation TO the Red
Monster.
Too tight a rein cannot be held on
this vile beast that would steal from
Us law and virtue and society, that
would rob humanity Of It's better
part and made earth a living Hades.
The only way to deal with this I'M
reasoning, unknowing, uncaring
