Europe Is PERTURBED.

As a reading of the cabled summary
of the terms Of peace, between Japan
and China, quickly suggested, the Eu-
ropean nations don't like them-especi'
ally don't they like condition six, under
which, after conquering China, Japan
will raise her foe and compel her to join
hands in an offensive and defensive al
lance for the common cause OF ASIA for
the Asiatics." The London press Is
prompt to reflect this anticipated senti-
mert even before the terms of peace as
reported are verified.
The London Chronicle calls Section
6 defiance of Europe and danger to
the world" The former il certainly is.
As to the latter, the opinion is biased.
British opinion is prone to consider any
thing that interferes with British inter
ests as danger to the world.
The Times can't believe the summar-
lied report is unqualifiedly true. Very
likely it is not.
The Globe considers the terms as
whole impossible" for Europe to stand
still under.
The Graphic considers that the "Jap-
anization of China would be the death
knell of the European in Eastern Asia
and the ruin of Western industry"
Well, Europe would have to take her
chances in the markets of the Eastern
world according to regulation business
methods.
The News. ever liberal and consider
ate. observes that "Japan has emerged
from the conflict great power" The
News is amazed. but makes no obJec-
tion to Japan's working out her own sal
vation.
The Standard insists with fine old
fashioned Tory buncombe that the
terms are subject to the approval of
the other states having relations with
Eastern Asia"
Russia is said to be opposed to any
cession Of territory. So is France. Both
want to control any cession transactions.
The monarchies of Europe are natur-
ally indignant at the very thought that
they cannot go to any part Of the world
and do as they please.

BEEF is high. 1t will stay high until
June at least, probably. What of it?
Every other kind Of meat is as cheap as
ever; eggs are cheap; fish is cheap; -four
and all cereals are cheap. Bananas and
some other fruits are beginning to be
cheap. Vegetables are cheap unless You
demand fresh mushrooms or Brussels
,prouts. Butter is cheap-not so bad
Tor a course, either, lots of butter.
About everything you can think of, ex-
cept beef, is cheap; and you can have
cheap beef, too. by going without it a
little while. That will bring the price
down whatever the rise is due to. But
what's the use of fussing?

Where
Iron Fell
Like Rain.

AiNS Noiii' try demanded that
Charleston be taken, and this could only
be done by reducing Sumter, Moultrie
and tho Sullivan and Morris Island bat
teries. Nine ironclads composed the
line, with orders to steam up within
500 or 800 yards of Sumter. aim low
and rapidly, and level it to the ground
before turning upon the other forts. The
first shot Of the action came from Moul-
trie. 1t was fred at 8 p. m. and an.
swered by the Weehawken, when all
the guns of ships and forts began ex-
changing shots The flagship Ironsides
and four of her consorts Of the first di-
vision were disabled or driven from
their course in less than an hour and be-
fore they got within half the distance
required by the orders. The Ironsides at
one time rested directly over Q, 600
pound torpedo, connected by electric
wires with the shore, but when the cleo
trioian attempted to blow her out Of
water the wires refused to work. The
Keokuk, with Commander Rhind on
deck, steamed ON, leaving the disabled
monitors in the lurch. She got within
900 yards, and before she had fired half
a dozen shots was riddled like colan-
der. Rhind was hit, but continued limp
ing about on deck, giving orders to his
men. He held the vessel under Sum-
ter's walls until she had been struck by
30 charges, some of which exploded
and rained iron upon her decks and
turrets Nineteen missiles pierced her
armor below water line. Although his
ship was a sinking wreck. the gallant
Rhind waited for the admiral's signal to
leave off action before he would turn
his back to the enemy. The Keokuk la
bored down the channel and went to the
bottom off Morris island, the worst
mauled ship that ever came ont Of q
battle by her own unaided power.

THE FARRow RIFLE.
1t Receives Some High Compliments at
the National Festival.

The rifles made by Capt Farrow
attracted much attention at the late
National Festival in New York. The
Sunday Times speaking Of it says:
Much interest was taken in the
newest thing in rifles at the festival.
an arm made by the Farrow Arms
Company Of Morgantown, West Vir-
GINA. The inventor, w Milton Far
row, is famous marksman, and in
1880, at Wimbledon, England, where
he went with Col Bodine's team, he
won the silver cap presented by the
Princess of Wales in the ANY Rifle
Match. Firing fifteen shots at 600
yards, Mr.. Farrow using q Ballard,
made a score of II out of a possible
10.
Four of the Farrow rifles were
used at the Glendale Park range,
Mr. Farrow, being accompanied by
three West Virginians-J. A Barth-
low, Capt. j. r. Miller and L. W.
Joseph-and each arm sent bullets
that were honored by winning red
and blue flags.
The rifle has a cylindrical barrel
Of thirty two inches. Its charge is
240 grains of lead, the patched bull
let being pushed into the chamber
when the cartridge containing As
grains of Latin d Reed +. F. G.
powder is pushed in. The barrel has
fourteen grooves, beginning with a
twist of l in 20 inches and increas
ing to | in 10 inches, an accelerated
gain which gives two turns of the
bullet to muzzle
The arm is shapely and graceful,
straight as to stock, the drop being
only p inches. The mechanism and
fittings are marvelously simple. The
breech and lock action come away
entire with the lever and guard, and
in couple of instants the barrel is
taken from the stock by knocking
on tapering pin and unscrewing.
A feature Of the lock mechanism is
that the setting trigger for the hair
trigger is placed in front of the trig-
ger guard, and the setting is done
with the thumb of the left hand The
breech block mechanism has a slid
ing leverage.

West Virginia University.

Mr.. Waitman Barbe, the field agent
Of the West Virginia University, is
conducting an active campaign in
the interests of that institution. He
is making point of attending the
teachers institutes, at four of which
he will be present this week.
The regents created the position
filled by Mr.. Barbe in order to bring
the University in closer touch witt
the people, and that the youth of the
state might be brought to a better
appreciation of the facilities provid
ed for their education.
With the present equipment nee
essary for the students already in
attendance, it is possible to accom-
modate and to instruct many more
and it is the aim of the regents tc
draw TO the University all the stu
dents who can be well cared for there
Everything points to large in
crease in the number of students al
the opening of the fall term. There
is an active demand for cadetships
and those who desire them should
make application at once.-Inte1li

An Enlarged Town.

Among the embargos on the bust
ness growth Of Morgantown, there is
one very little discussed by our PEG
pie, but is none the less blighting
and damaging. We refer to the tolls
which are paid to the Monongahela
Navigation Company
The business men of Pittsburg are
waking up TO the profits that would
accrue to both that community and
our own by making the river free
We referred, last week, to the visit
of the members of the Pittsburg
Coal exchange to Fairmont in the
interest of this matter. One of these
men remarked that the tolls he had
to pay on his individual business
alone, amounted to $l7, 10000 a year
He pays directly to the Navigation
company, but the fact is that our
own shippers pay the tolls, in the
end. Pittsburgers must add the
tolls to the purchasing price Of ey-
erything they buy of US, or the ship.
per must reduce his price to that
extent in order to compete with
those who get into Pittsburg with
out going through the locks on our
river.
These tolls on our river serve,
more than we realize, to close the
markets of Pittsburg against us.
With tolls to get down the river,
and a toll bridge to get across the
river to trade with even our own
people, MorganCown is virtually
taxed cut of her natural markets.
We ought TO have free river. We
can't prosper asa town under these
conditions. We must raise the EN-
barge on our river, and we must
raise the equally damaging embar
60 which divides this county into
two accessible divisions. 1t is time
our people were taking hold of these
questions with vigor. Every day
they are postponed, delays the reali-
cation of what Morgantown might
be, and naturally will be when these
unfayorable conditions are remov ed

I0rgantOwn and the National Shooting
Festival.

Capt. J. R. Miller, Alvin Barthlow,
L. w. Joseph and Capt. Farrow at
tended the National Schuetzen Bund
held at Glendale Park, Long Island,
n. Y, during the first eight days of
July and carried off several prizes.
Over three thousand rifle shots of
the country participated in the shoot
and over 10000 shots were fired at
the targets and about $I25,000 dis
tributed in prizes. All of the gen
tlemen from Morgantown won from
$50 to 800 in gold, and each of
them won gold and silver medal
besides other small prizes.
The gentlemen won aurels for
themselves and are justly proud of
their record. Had the last shot fired
by Capt. Miller in the contest for
81 800 prize been as good as his
other shots he would have taken the
prize, anyway, he made second best.
All of the shooting was at 200 yards
and Capt. Farrow could not get in
his fine work as his best shooting is
done at 1000 yards. Hundreds of
shooters did not win a cent or a
prize, and Morgantown is proud of
the representatives of her Sports
men s Association. The rifles used
by the gentlemen were the Farrow
rifles and were manufactured at the
factory here The New York papers
highly complimented the Morgan
towners who represented this State
at the shoot.
