CHINA FOR PEACE.

Inquiries made in Chinese official circles
in Pekin confirm the statements contained
in dispatches from Shanghai giving the
substance of the demands made by Baron
Won Heyking, the German minister to
China, as result of the murder recently
of German missionaries and the destruc-
ton of German mission property. Ger
many, through her minister asks for the
discovery and execution of the murderers
of the missionaries, Mes and Hennle; the
punishment of the implicated officials, in
Guiding the Governor of the Shang Tung
province, in which part of China the mis-
sion was situated: the reconstruction of
the missionary buildings; the payment of
an indemnity of 100000 taels to the rcla-
tives of the victims; the payment of a
neavy indemnity to cover the expenses of
the German naval expedition, and the
maintaining of the German force at Kiao
Chou bay, the railroad monopoly of the
Shang- Tung province and the occupation
of kiao Chou bay as German coaling
station.
China will refuse the demands of Ger
many, but will express willingness to
make ample reparation for the murder of
the missionaries and for the damage done
to the mission property.
Russia, it is understood, is not yet help
ing China, but the latter country has de-
cided not to provoke hostilities and to
trust to diplomacy for the settlement of
the difficulties which have arisen in con-
nection with the mission ou.rages

CAPT. GORDON'S CONTEST

The surprising announcement was
made here on Wednesday afternoon
that Capt. Charles G. Gordon, the de-
feated candidate for the Senate in this
county, had served notice upon Mr..
William b. Clagett of contest for his
seat. and we publish elsewhere the par
ticulars of the matter as it now stands.
As Mr.. Ciagett AS elected by over
200 majority, Capt. Gordon can only
expect the Senate to decide in his IA
vor upon partisan grounds. But if the
Republican party begins its work at
Annapolis next month by unseating
Democratic Senators and Delegates
who have been regularly chosen it will
receive the righteous condemnation of
al fair-minded men. Although the
Republicans have large majority in
the Senate, we believe there are honor
able men enough among the Republi-
can Senators to defeat Capt. Gordon's
desperate efforts to represent this coun-
ty. in defiance of the will Of the people.
The costs will eventually come out of
the taxpayers, but this, Of course, is
nothing in the eyes Of certain people.
