ORIENTAL WAR.
Two Thousand Chinese Killed
in q Naval Encounter.

Two Thousand Chinese Killed
in a Naval Encounter.
SHANGHAI, July 3l.-Further de-
tails of the naval engagement have
reached here. The fighting, though
of short duration, was very severe.
One of the Japanese warships got
within a short distance of the trans.
port Kow Shing and discharged a
torpedo at her. The missile struck
the. transport fairly and a terrific ex-
plosion followed and the Kow
Shing began at once to fill.
Prior to the discharge of the
torpedo the crew of the transport,
which was armed, and the military
force on board of her, made hard
fight against the attacking force.
Many of those on board of her were
shot dead on deck. When the
vessel began to sink there was great
excitement on board of her. In the
dire confusion that prevailed no
attempt was made to lower the small
boats. But even had such an
attempt been made the boats could
only have carried a small percentage
of those on board. Every foreigner
on board the transport, which had
been chartered by the Chinese
government from an English CON-
pany, was either killed in the fight
ing or went down with the vessel.

MRS. LAURA J. EIsENHUTH,

The nominee for superintendent Of
instruction, is we'll known to our
readers. She was first nominated
for that position in 1890 at the
democratic convention in Grand
Forks. In 1892 she was nominated
by the independents, endorsed by
the democrats and elected. She has
made one of the most efficient super
intendents the state ever had. She
served two terms as county superin-
tendent prior to that election. She
will be reelected. Her friends are
legion, and the people of the state
are in no mood for an experiment
in educational matters, when they
are satisfied with certainty.

The representatives of the demo
cratic state press met at Grand
Forks during the state convention.
They effected an organization and
discussed matters of interest to
the fraternity. The lot of news
paperman has ever been any
thing but luxurious. The boys
are getting tired of living on the
husks and governed themselves
accordingly.

of and endorse the official acts Of our
representative in the United States
senate, Hon. w. N. Roach, and COM
mend the manly stand he has taken in
all matters affecting the interests of
our state.
Resolved, That we endorse the Off
cial acts Of the state executive, Hon.
E. G. D. Shortridge, and approve of
the conservative course pursued by him
in state affairs.
We are in favor of tariff for revenue
only and urge the prompt enactment of
areform tariff bill
We demand the free bi-me,allic coin
age of both gold and silver, and the re-
storation of the bi-metallic standard as
it existed for over eighty years prior to
the characterization of the standard
silver dollar i'll 1873, and, should it
become necessary, in order to maintain
the two metals in circulation, to read
just the ratio, it should be determined
whether gold has risen OF silver fallen
and whether there should be change
of gold or silver dollar, or both, tc
the end that whatever ratio is adopted
the rights of both creditor and debtor
should be preserved alike. Having in
view the demands of the people for al
adequate circulating medium, We
declare that we are not in favor of golG
monometallism, or silver monometal
lism, but that both should be coine6
in such ratio as will maintain tht
two metals in circulation.
4 We insist upon the Democratic doc
trine of Jackson and Benton, that al
4 money issued by the authority of con
| gress shall be issued and its value
maintained by the government.
Resolved, That this convention is ir
favor of resubmission of the prohibition
clause of the state constitution to the
people at the earliest possible time.

Prairie schooners are constantly

Prairie schooners are constantly
crossing the line from Manitoba
and the Northwest territory into
American domains, the passengers
abroad being finally convinced of
the worthlessness of that section
of Canada. Many of the wander

satisfactory expedition to the Can

DE MOCRATlC CONVENTION.

The convention of democrats OF
North Dakota has met and adjourn
ed and a ticket has been hoisted in
the columns of the democratic press
that will bear favorable comparl-
,son with Eat nominated by either
'of the other parties. The approach
of the democratic state convention
was the signal for an attack from
the republican party who in their
meanest bitterest, most implacable
and unprincipelled smanner were
grinning in anticipation of a
triumph over the people. 1t would
! have been contemplate and degrad-
ing to have confessed defeat to such
an enemy.
We have adopted a platform that
has the right ring to 1t. Every
plank is sound in principle and in
keeping with democratic convictions
| and one that will aid in the march
to victory in 1896. The ticket
named is the resultsof much careful
thought and consideration and has
caused a great deal of chagrin in the
innermost heart Of the republican
party, who already foretell another
defeat at the hands of the combined
forces representing the voice of the
people. The naming tof such repre-.
sentative apostles of our party prin,
'ciples as Templeton Larimore, Kinter
Burke and Kurtz will be received
with the greatest satisfaction by the
combined votes of both parties.
! The republicans of the state, who
never possessed avirtue, and possess,
/ ing none by cultivation, seek now to
cause dissension in our party ranks
by stating that Budd Reeve refuses
to abide by his withdrawal and is still
in the field. This story it is easily
seen is circulated blythe republican
/. party for no other purpose than pro-
+, ducing the bone Of contention.
However, tits safe to say that this,
effort of theirs will proNs futile as
Badd Reeve is too good a democrat
1 to sacrifice the interests of his party
fer purely selfish motives. The re-
mainder of the ticket is flled with
representative men whose integrity
and adherence to party principles is
beyond question, and those of the
present administration whom the
convention saw fit to endorse have
eamed for themselves a record for
honesty and economically admins
tering the duties entrusted to their
care two years ago when the
democrats and independents joined
forces to oust the old gang from the
capitol.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1894-08-02

The sentiment of the majority of
the voters Of this state is expressed
in that paragraph of the demo-
cratic state platform which de-
clares for the re-submlssion of the
prohibition question. The law is
admitted by it's friends to be a
failure. Then why not give the
people an opportunity to repeal it?
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1894-08-02

If it is a sacrifice of principles
for party to nominate a candi-
date who is already nominated on
another ticket, why is it not also a
sacrifice of principle for man of
one political faith to accept fat
office at the hands of a party of a
different political faith ?--Com.

The New Northwest: Great Pals is
two lengths ahead of any other town in
Montana in the matter Of securing in.
dustrial enterprises that continue to the
city's permanent prosperity. Its latest
assured acquisition is an extensive wool
en- mill. That's the proper scheme.
The manufacture Of local raw materials
into marketable goods is the true solu-
ton Of one of one of the most ~perplexing
problems that confronts tho people OF
the Rocky Mountain region. The rail-
roads double-shoot the turn on every
thing consumed in Montana, the raw
material Of which is or can be produced
within the state. Local manufacturers
do away with the transportation rake-ofi
which is a tax that beats the tariff out
Of sight; and every dollar saved to our
people in this way is like getting money
from home"

July Days.


Whether torrid temperature i~nclires
man to deeds Of violence has not, to our
knowledge, been settled by the psychol
ogists. 1t is, however, remarkable that
many Of the greatest battles, bloodiest
instructions, and most tremendous rev.
olutions have taken place in the summer
period and especially in July. The ia
nous taking Of the Bastile" occurred
July ii. Our own revolution against
the domination of the British crown was
formally proclaimed to the world on the
Fourth OF July. In our late civil war
the back of the rebellion was really
broken in July. 1863. Then was fought
the battle Of Gettysburg, where the last
great aggressive effort Of the confeder-
Btes was made, and on the 4th Of the
month Vicksburg surrendered to Grant.
At present, being more given 10 peace,
we choose July days to fly from "the
cares that rfest the day" and see the
lakes the seashore, or the mountains.

The Funeral Of the Late President
CarnOt Of France One of the
Most Remarkable
CIVIC and MILITARY DISPLAYS
In the History of France-Over Two
Million Watched the Mourn
full COrtpge.

PARIS, July 1.-The remains OF the
late President Carnot were deposited in
the Pantheon by the side of the remains
OF his grandfather, Lazare Carnot, ''or-
ganizer Of victory" Sunday. The fu-
neral was made the occasion Of n OF
the most remarkable civic and military
displays in the history of France.
Crowds began to gather early Saturday
evening. People camped all night and
discussed the tragedy.
At 8 o'clock the route Of the process.
sion was crowded in a manner never be-
fore seen in the city. All the chairs,
benches, and tables that could be OBJ
tanned were placed on the sidewalks and
standing room upon them was auctioned
off ut fabulous sums. Mourning en-
resentativee Of foreign nations and gov
eminent officials were given positions in
the column and escorted by d%etachments
of dragons.
Contrary to precedent Casimir Perier,
successor to the late president, attended
the funeral and drove up to the palace in
u carriage. The troops presented arms
and he was received at the entrance
to the palace by a number Of high Off
ci IL.
Gen. Saucier had charge Of the funeral
and at 1920 o'clock the procession began
its march toward the cathedral Of Notre
Dame led by a squadron OF republican
guards. Perier's splendid wreath OF
palms and roses was carried by four prin-
cipal attendants from the palace imme-
diately in front Of the two carriages con.
tanning priests who escorted the body to
the cathedral. After the clergymen came
the funeral car drawn by six horses. The
car and casket we're heavily draped and
the casket was covered with the tri
colors OF France.
Two captains of infantry carrying a
large velvet cushion on which rested
Carnot's various orders followed the car
and after them came the officers com
posing the civic household Of the late
president. Behind these were the three
sons of the late president and Other
members Of the family, except the wild
ow. President Perier followed then
bareheaded with the Gordon of grand
master of the Legion of Honor across h.
breast.
Next came the presidents military
household, then the presidents of the
two chambers, ambassadors and stats OF
the different embassies all in funera
uniform. Behind them were Premier
Dupuy and cabinet ministers. Cardi
mails and nearly all the senators and dep
uties had the next place in tho column
The procession reached Notre Dame
at noon. The casket was placed on g
catafalque which had displaced the altar
which usually stands there.
1ne archbishop delivered an alocution
and paid the late president an eloquent
t.. butte as a man and official and in his
private life an upright and good man
and that these simple words were 9
greater eulogy than orations.
The ceremonies in the cathedral were
concluded at 2 o'clock. when the process
sion proceeded to the Pantheon, where
the remains were placed in the vault
and the throng dispersed.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Harry Howard, a Brakeman on the

Paralyzed.

Tuesday evening about Q o'clock Harry

switching near the Boston q Montana
smelter. While on the top of a furni-
ture car attending to tho brakes the

ground, from whence he rolled under
the car.
The unfortunate man was placed on a
flat car loaded with coal slack and
brought to the depot, where he was at
tended by DIR. Longeway.
How serious his injuries are is not yet
known, but he apparently has a terrible
wound near the left ear, and as he stated
that he was unable to move his arms or
legs it is feared he has received some
spinal injuries. He requested to be
taken to his home, which was done, he
being conveyed there in an ambulance.
