Liverpool, June ga mail steamer

owing to the massacre of American mis-
sionaries by natives, who destroyed the

previously been reported.
The expedition severely punished the

TO SAVE CHINA.
Foster Thinks America
Should Cooperate W it'll England.

Amherst, Mass, June 29.-In an adj
dress before the students and alumni of
Amherst college, Hon. John W. Foster
referred to the fact that he had been re-
quested by President Gates toTdiscuss the
topic of the Chinese empire and its posi-
BILE future, cited the statement of a
British cabinet minister that history fur
nished no example Of the present stu
alton of China. of great empireswith-
out having received a.vital blow, utterly
unable to resist the feeble form of at
tack, and proceeded to review of the
country and it's people to explain this
anomaly of history.
II the nation had met and overcome
so successfully its EN- barrassments in the
past, why its fpresent shelplessness? 1t
was attributed first to blind conservatism
and oonceit, and second, to the low grade
Of public and social morality.
The dismemberment of China seems i'm
ninent The nation which can and is
most likely to prevent it is Great Brit
ain.
Referring to the war, Gen. Foster said,
sin this conflict while most of the
| nations Of Europe criticize our attitude
and would rejoice in Spanish success,
| the British people and government have
shown unnistakable appreciation OF our
cause. Those of US who believe in an
overruling power which controls the
affairs Of nations MS we'll as individuals
may see in these events the headings of
Providence calling the American people
to still greater participation and in
terest in the affairs of the far east. I'm
der these circumstances it is impossible
| for us to look upon the situation in China
with Indifference. AS onr interest in
preserving free commercial intercourse
with that country comedies with that OF
Great Britain, it is fortunate that the
present war has brought us more closely
together and led us to forget the causes
which have partially estranged us in the
past. If England and America can by a
common policy give security to the gov
eminent, bring about better and pure1
system of administration and break down
| the spirit OF conservatism there may
come TO China an era of power and pros.
perity uIequalled In thu past.

CRUEl TY 70 ANIMALS.

Recent complaints have been made that
three horses belonging to Washington
Cash of New Gloucester were being cruel
ly treated, the cruelty arising from the
fact that although the animals were unfit
for use the owner continued to work
them. Deputy Agent Dyer went to New
Gloucester yesterday morning to investi-
gate. He learned that mem hers OF the
family of Mr.. Cash had taken the horses
and gone to Poland and consequently
the deputy did not have the chance to ex.
anime the animals, but Deputy Dyer was
informed that one ofitheihorses was in an
especially bad condition and he ordered
the owner to at once see to it that this
animal was killed. MIR. Cash promised to

Rest shelter From Lightning.


Campbell Swinton says lightning is
most apt to strike projecting objects
for example, tree. On that princi-
pie you ought to keep clear of trees
just as you would keep clear of hay
rick. Similarly, if you are in q flat
pace-take a farmers ield--you
should make yourself as little an OBJ
ject as possible. If everything is level
you yourself become the protective
point which may attract the lightning.
Therefore, lie down fiat on the ground,
or, even better, get into hole.
IA person who took shelter in q
hole" Campbell Swinton continued,
'.would be absolutely safe, | should
think. Even if lightning were tc
strike the grouad near by, its power
would scatter so much that he would
hardly be likely to come to harm. Their
if you are in a house while thunder
storm is raging, the safest shelter
would be in the cellar-that is,
far away from the objective parts of
the building. For myself, | am rather
skeptical how many folks would care
to crawI.into a hole or plunge into a
cellar. You see, the risk to life anC
limb in England from lightning is very
small indeed-sO small that the aver
age man would ron it rather than dis
turb himself"
81 suppose the idea which you haV
indicated to me explains the damage
that factory chimneys and the chin
neys of dwelling houses occasionall!
sustain from lightning?
"Just SO. They area point Of a.

meath it. l once saw chime
struck by lightning and smoke hat
