BRINGING BACK VOLUNTEERS.

The Astor battery, of which Mr.. Frank
Williamson. of this city. is a member,
has been ordered back from Manila. Adj
iutant General Corbin says that this ac-
ton has been taken because the battery
was among the first to go abroad. This
is the beginning of general plan to
bring volunteers back from the Philip

possible with regulars. - sn-A {

The New Chinese Capital.

Referring to the news published
in "The Globe" that Si-ngan-fu is to
be made the capital Of the Chinese
Empire, instead of Peking, the
"Chronicle" say: The rumour will
not cause any great surprise among
those who have had occasion to
follow recent developments in
Chinese affairs. The combined efforts
of the various diplomatists, recently
foregathered at the Celestial capital,
have resulted in the irritation of the
Tsung- li-Yamen to a degree suffi.
cient to overcome the customary
placidity of even a Chinese Man
DARN, and the assumed dictatorship
of the Russian Envoy has driven
the board of Hoo-poo to the verge
of evaporation. The possibility of
a change of base for Chinese states
manship has been suggested by the
activity of the Emperor's advisers
for month past, and the recent
arrival of the Viceroy Chang-chi-
Tung, at Picking, gave rise to the
rumour OF an approaching move
towards the southern capital. The
announcement that the future des-
tination of the sacred person OF the
Chinese Emperor will be Si-nagn-
fu imports an element of surprise
into expected developments, aud
entirely changes the aspect OF
Chinese affairs. In one
respect, the choice reflects credit
on the ingenuity of the Emperor's
advisers. The city lies more than
500 miles from the nearest point
possible to be approached by q
bsttleship. No parade of force can
be made in 80 distant a corner of
China. The representatives of West
ern nations will be cut off from their
fleets in a country practically i'm
passable, and placed convenient to
Thibet and the Koko Nor district,
thus affording a ready sanctuary for
the Government in case of need.
The move, if made, will, in short,
advertise to the world that China
gives up the battle and retires to
the Businesses of her innermost
regions, abandoning her coasts to
the rapacity of her foreign con-
querors.

Klondike Cleaning Up.

SEATTLE, July 25.--The steamer
Charles Nelson arrived to-day from
st. Michael with 173 passengers
from Dawson and gold dust valued
at from 100000 to $1,500,OOO.
Purser M. A. Tucker said;
81 believe that 81, 100000 is a fair
estimate. OF that amount I can
vouch 100000 which was turned
over to me and placed in the steam
er's safe"
One man, Mr.. Tucker said, had
$175,000 and another Sl25,00O. He
would not disclose their names.
Professor T.. S. Lippy, his father
and two brothers carried from the
steamer nine canvas sacks which
weighed about 100 pounds each.

Randall, an old-timer, had $4,000.
Other individual amounts ran from
$1,000 to $4,000, $4,000 being an aver
age.s
At 5 o'clock this afternoon sixty
seven passengers had deposited in
the assay Office about 100000. Four
thousand ounces was the largest in
dividual amount. This did not in
clude the Lippy and Randall gold.
About one-third of the passengers
brought no gold. Some Of them had
gone in last spring. Not liking the
prospects they sold their outfits and
returned.

The Dudes Before SANTIAGO.

AIS Ouues BEFORE bhntlago,
They scoffed when we lined up with
Teddy,
They said we were dudes and all
that;
They imagined that "Cholly" and
"Fweddie"
Would faint at the drop of a hail
But let them look there in the
bitches,
Blood stained by the swells in
the van,
And know that a chap may have
riches
And still be a mani
They said that we'd wilt under fire,
And run if the foeman said "Bool"
But fellow may have arich sire
And still be patriot, too!
Look there where we met twice our
number,
Where the life-blood of dudes
drenched the EARTH
The swells who lie in their last
slumber
Prove what we are worth
They laughed when we said we
were going,
They scoffed when we answered
the call;
We might do at tennis or rowing,
But as warriors-oh, no-not at
ALI
All, let them look there in the
bitches,
Blood-stained by the dudes in the
van,
And learn that chap may have
riches
And still be mani

never intended by Sagasta that the
Spanish navy. or any portion Of it,
should meet an American squadron in
the open sea. Sagasta and his minis
try, who did not dare to keep Cervera
in a home harbor any longer. know
that within thirty or forty days hence
the Philippines will belong to the
United States unless peace shall come
before we get actual possession. So
comes this talk Of Spanish concessions
and of papal intercessions. The adher-
ents of the Catholic church in this
country are as good. strict and consci-
entious in their religion as the Catho-
lies of any country. But the Catholics
of America are Americans, not Span
iards; are bright and loyal, not ignor-
ant and servile. They recognize the
Pope as the head of their church and
as the real and true successor of Peter,
but they recognize the stars and
stripes as the emblem Of a liberty
which no other people ever boasted, a
liberty which does not interfere with
their church or conscience.

FOOLISH TALK.

Again comes the telegraphic assur-
ance that the Pope is going to inter
cede with the president, which is to be
followed by peace. All such talk is
bosh. Neither the president nor the
Pope began this war, and neither nor
both can end it. The Pope is an influ-
entail factor in the national affairs of
Europe. especially with France, Spain.
Italy and Germany. But he viii make
a mistake for himself and for his
church if he attempts influencing
America. The people Of this country
are intolerant OF church and state"
There is a greater religious liberty in
America than even in England or any
where else on the globe. England has
her established church. which largely
governs her. But America recognizes
neither the authority or political infu-
ence Of any church, or of all the
churches combined. 1t is the only
country where the people are not COM
PEELED to contribute to the support Of
the church. Every mans religion is
left TO his own conscience. As for this
war, public sentiment in the United
States forced IT. and public sentiment
can alone cause peace. Public senti-
ment Will demand that the war having
been begun, shall be supported and
kept up until satisfaction is had.
Among the things which must come be-
fore peace is the Philippine Islands.
We haven't taken possession Of these
Islands yet; that is, in a way that we
can hold them under international law.
Until we can get men TO Manila, the
Pope and all the crowned heads of
Europe can not stop this war. War is
not boys play. 1t is Omnipotence's

and for humanity's elevation. Every
