LONDON. August 6.-There IS great
uneasiness on all sides in view of the
Chinese situation, which is regarded
5 bringing an open conflict between
Great Britain and Russia within meas
urable distance, and it is universally
felt that the Marquis Of Salisbury 5
inadvertaney in Russia's aggressive
ness is responsible for the dangerous
complications which can only be over
come by the prompt and most firm in
to British commercial concessions must
cease. In this connection the story is
current that the Princess of Wales 5

response to a dispatch from her sister,
the Dowager Empress Of Russia, bear
ing upon the Anglo-Russian relations.

to the meeting of the sisters at Copen-
hagen.

Great Chalk Mine.

The Tribune reports the discovery of
a great chalk mine near Lovelock and
truthfully exclaims that 1t will prove of
incaleulable benefit to the world. Truly
considered in connection with the mar
velous discovery OF black board mine
in western Flko, this find is one of the
greatest of the country. Politicians de-
string to figure out the results of the
coming election need not send outside
of the State for material now .-Argo-

AS WE SEE IT.

Inc war Is drawing W u ClOSo anu 10
beginning to lose its hold on the people as
the all absorbing topic of conversation.
Instead, politics are coming to the front
and will occupy the attention OF the
people from now until election. We ac-
ordingly feel that our position upon the
issues at stake should be clearly under
stood by our readers.
In the first place, we believe that no
true Nevadan can be other than an ad-
vocate of the free and unlimited coin
age of silver. If he be a protectionist,
all the more should he believe in the
protection of one of the greatest indus
tries Of the West. There is room for
difference of opinion as to methods best
adapted to secure free coinage, but for
ourselves, we believe that the proper
course is to adhere to that party which
has taken an unequiyocal stand in favor
of the white metal and shall gladly con-
tribute our pittance to the success OF
the Silver Party OF Nevada.
We further recognize the fact that
the Democratic party has also taken
firm stand for free coinage, and while
we believe that the Silver Party is es-
sentialiy fusion party already and the
battle should be fought under its ban
ners, we are willing that some conces-
sion should be made to the Democrats
a. aoo,,,,a n ,,,ora ,arfant fusion rrnvid.
ing 1t can be done without disrupting
the Silver Party or contributing to any
political jobs. The next national fight
will have to be made through the DEM
ocratic party If we hope to win and it is
accordingly no more than fair to enable
them to maintain their organization
in this State.
Where we stand ON the Senatorial
question, we believe that we have al
ready clearly expressed ourselves in
these columns. aNevadans for Neva-
da" is a motto which we have support
ed in the past and are prepared to con-
tinue to support. And what is more,
we are not entirely satisfied with all the
men who have filed the offices of the
State for the past four years. We be-
lieve that nearly every Office holder in
the State is candidate for nomination
but there is need of pretty thorough
wedding which we hope to see done at
the State Convention at Reno. 1t is
for that reason that the people cannot
be too careful as to whom they choose
of the primary elections on the goth to
represent them in that Convention.
Every member of the Silver Party
should be as particular to vote at the
primaries as he is to vote at the gener-
al election. In fact, the primaries will
will probably decide the election this
fall.
In our position as the only newspaper
In the county and numbering among
our subscribers members of all parties,
we do not deem that it would be fair
to take position in local pontlcs as
strongly partisan as we otherwise
might. Our columns are open to free
and open discussion of the situation
from any point of view, providing all
communications for publication are
signed. We shall also endeavor to give
our readers all of the political news,
trustworthy and of interest, that comes
to our attention from any source.
We also invite candidates of all parties
to use our columns to bring themselves
to the attention of the public.

A WeII-Known Young Man.

Mr.. Ed. Lachman is one OF tho best
known young men in Reno. The fol-
lowing statement will explain itself:
RENO, September 4. 1896.
ION Saturday last, while wheeling
down the steep grade beyond the Mound
House, | had fall which severely
sprained the muscles and tendons about
my right hip and so bruised nv knee
that it was swollen, discolored and pain
full to the touch. That evening I pro-
cured bottle of Tib and applied it.
The next day | could walk and ride
easily, and after using Trib twice day
for four consecutive days | was com
pletely cured. | never before knew the
value of good liniment. | shall not be
without a bottle of Trib hereafter. Use
my name If you see fit. Trib is a good
article, the knowledge of which | am
willing TO aid in spreading.

markable flop on the subject of Senator

An Inventor Has a Novel Plan TO
Destroy the Defenses at
Havana.

William E. Eddy, whose kites have
been experimental with at Madison
barracks, Sacketts Harbor, n. Y, by
Lieut.. Wise, of the Ninth infantry, has
invented a sliding messenger kite, which
carries dynamite up the string.
Mr.. Eddy says he believes Lieut.. Wise,
now at Tampa, Fla, has supply of his
kites and camera apparatus ready for
the exploration Of the enemy's encamp-
ment as soon as the army invades Cuba.
Inventor Eddy states that the mes
senger kite is still in an experimental
state. Five ascensions have been made
by it at Bayonne. The kite carried a
lighted lantern up the string and
dropped it as an experiment, instead of
dynamite.
# the government cooperates with
Mr.. EDDY in the use of this invention
large portable dynamite kites will be
at once constructed for use in Cuba.
He proposes to automatically drop 72
pounds of dynamite at the distance of
a mile. Eddy says after the United
States forces land in Cuba and lay siege
to Havana it would be an easy matter
to send up the kites and reduce MORO
Castle.

SKULL LIKE PIECE OF STEEL,
Peter Gray Fires Three Bullets in
His Head, But All Are
Flattened Out.

When the rain was pouring down in
New York the other night well-dressed
man walked out to the end of the Nor
walk line pier, sat down to the string
piece, drew revolver from his pocket
and began to shoot at his head. A
crowd came running to the spot. After
firing three bullets into his head the
man jumped into the East river. He
was rescued unconscious and carried to
a hospital.
After having the man under treat
ment for two hours the hospital doctors
succeeded in bringing him back to con-
seriousness. He said that he did not re-
member shooting himself. DR.. Rodman
said:
eve have dug three leaden bullets out
of your scalp, and each one of them has
been fiattened out. Each of the bullets
which you fired at your head was of
80 caliber, and each of them has been
f1attened out as if they had been shot
up against a piece of steel"

skull of any man born. I've been hit
on the head with everything but an ak,
and it never took any effect on me-"

charge of attempted suicide. He said
his name was ReteE GrayA.ss.

BENEFITS THE IMPORTERS.
Revision Secured in Transit Pass
Rules Governing Sale of
Goods in China.

Information has reached Washington
from Canton, China, that through the
efforts of United States Consul Bedloe,
a revision has been secured of the tran
sit pass rules which will prove of great
benefit to importers. Hitherto it was
obligatory that all goods forwarded
from port to an inland market under
cover of transit pass should reach intact
the destination stated in the pass on
penalty of confscation. By the new
rules, however, foreign goods covered
by transit pass or any part of them may
be sold in transit for a more profitable
inland market, the only requirement
exacted being that the pass shall con-
tain an entry under seal, showing the
quantity so sold. The Hong-Kong Tele-
graph, an English newspaper, in COM
menting upon Consul Bedloe's achieve
ment, which it regards as of the highest
commercial Importance, says it is
triumph of United tatesdiplomacy.

"WHIP PO' WILL"

And stars through purple curtains peep
And south winds sing themselves to sleep;

OF spicy bud and April bloom
Comes through the tender twilight GLOOM

Whip 'po' Will, whip po' Will, whip po'

And join in that tumultuous chase

Who is this Will? What has he done?
Has he in some wild freak of fun
Made frightened children homeward run;

By stagnant pool, DER fallen log,

Where is he now for whom they shrek?

Prone on his pillow
