At Iloilo there was considerable anxiety
lest an uprising should occur, but the in

quite probable, the Americans there are

Death of Marshal Martinex de Campos
of Spnin-German Agricultural
Expedition to Africa.

LONDON, Sept. 23.-Lord Salisbury's S
manifesto to the electors of the United
Kingdom, in anticipation of the parlia-
mentary general election, emphasizes the
necessity that the Queens government
should be supported by strong parlia-
mentary majority, as "the only means Of
convincing the inhabitants of the conquered
South African territories that there Is no
hope of diverting the government from it's
policy by persistent resistance or agita-
tion."
After remarking that ''all the recent
troubles in South Africa have been due to
shift of parliamentary opinion at a critical
moment" the prime minister goes on to
say:
"It will depend upon the disposition and
conduct of the Beers how long an interval
is to elapse before their full position as a
British colony is attained. The brilliant
success of Lord Roberts's army must not
blind us to the imperfections disclosed in
our own defensive armor. imperfections
which. but for the war, might have re-
NAMED unnoticed. 1t will be the urgent
duty of Parliament and the government to
remove these defects, a duty which GER
tainly could not be discharged by Minis
try dependent upon a broken party"
In conclusion Lord Salisbury refers to
China as "a difficulty, among others, con-
fronting the government and requiring that
the government should be armed with a
strong majority in the House of Com
MONS" He argues that, in view of all these
considerations, there should be no absten-
tions at the polls.

Ephraim Bassinger. of Bluffton, and silas
Moot, of Lima, were its victims. The two
elders got OF an Erie train early this
morning, unknown to the authorities. They
were recognized by small crowd at the
depot, which refused to let them enter a
cab, then followed them up the street and
surrounded them near the center of the
city.
They were then taken by the mob to the
Richland buggy works, where Bassinger
disrobed, but the crowd tore Moot's cloth
ing from his body, as he refused to disrobe
himself A paint bucket and a brush were
then secured. and smokestack varnish a
tar-like substance, was daubed over them
from head TO foot. 1t was matted in their
hair and no part of their bodies escaped
but their faces. Their bodies were then
partially covered with their clothing and
the elders were marched to the home of
z. H. Leiby, Zion follower here. who
was driven out of the city last Sunday.
There they promised not to return to
Mansfield. but later they said they had
agreed not to return unless Overseer Piper
ordered them to come. Then they were
marched to the city prison and imprisoned.
BY application of lard and benzine the
black varnish was partly taken off. and
after new outfits of clothing were furnishes
they were deported on Pennsylvania train

SOCIALISTS IN SESSION.
International Congress Holds n Dis
orderly Meeting I'm Paris.

PARIS. Sept 2S.-The international
Socialist Congress opened to-day in wag-
ram Hall. in this city. The proceedings
were far from harmonious, owing to q
bitter disagreement between the Socialist
supporters of the French government,
headed by NJ. Jaures, and other French
factions, following NJ. Guesde. Valiant and
La Fargo, regarding the election of Of
ficers.
Language more picturesque than polite
was exchanged between the rival sections.
The Jaures party were dubbed by their
opponents "Millerands lackeys." AS they,
however. were in the majority at the out
set, they elected NJ Jaures president; but
on the arrival of a strong contingent OF
their adversaries, the election was an
nulled and the session closed without hav-
ing accomplished anything.

English Press Finds Fault with Re-
ply to Germany.

LONDON, Sept. "A. 4:30 a. m-The morn
ing papers are too fully occupied with the
general election campaign to bestow much
attention upon the Chinese problem. The
Standard. which discusses editoriaIly the
reply OF the United States government.
says:
The policy thus laid down implies the
existence at Washington of a very exag-
gerated estimate Of the good will of the
Chinese rulers. 1t is to be feared that the
action OF the United States will tend to
weaken the moral influence of the allies.
and for this reason it is TO be greatly re-
gretted."
According to the Peking correspondent Of
the Daily News. wiring Sept. 16, the Chi
nese declare most positively that the EN-
press dowager and the Emperor will in no
case return to the imperial palace in Pc
king. as they hold that 1t has been desc
Grated by the intrusion of barbarians.
This irreconcilable attitude receives con-
firmation IN many reports emanating from
Shanghai. One of these is that, as a reply

Boxers still continue to assemble they will

Further indications that Prince Tuan has
resumed his former ascendency are found

inasmuch as nothing so increases Chinese

the Pei-Tang garrison arrived too late.
They We're only half way to their destina-
tion when the forts were captured.
The Tien-Tsin correspondent of the
Standard explains that the Russians re-
fused to provide trains for this force, but
gave the Germans and Austrians ample no.
tice and railway accommodations.
Advices TO the Standard from Shanghai
place the losses of the allies before Pei
Tang as Soo principally due to the explo-
sion OF mines, one Of which. 200 yards long,
exploded like an earthquake, killing and
wounding large numbers, and literally
blowing two mounted officers % pieces.
The Standard publishes belated tele-
gram from Tien-Tsin giving an illustration
OF the international difficulties. 1t appears
that the British at Feng-Tai guaranteed
safety to the natives if the railway prop
erty were restored Accordingly the men
returned, but a few days later the Russians
arrived and killed them all just outside the

TRADE is INCREASING.
AS having a direct bearing on the temper
of voters, and, therefore, on the election.
It may be stated that the aggregate volume
of small trade in the Northwestern and
Western States is on the increase Country
stores, which sixty days ago seemed to be
stocked up near the danger line, report
large and satisfactory demand for all kinds
OF merchandise, with every prospect for
splendid trade clear into winter. Whole
salers In Chicago and the other large West
ern cities. and manufacturers in general,
already feel the effects OF this miscellan-
eous retail demand, and transportation
companies are encouraged by the heavy
traffic in sight. Factories and manufactur-
ing establishments of every kind are in
creasing their output, and sharp recovery
from the midsummer depression is in prog
ress at this writing. By the 1st of octo-
ber the wheels Of industry will be revolv-
ing as they We're a year ago. and by the
10th of October everything will be going
at full blast and at high pressure all along
the line.
And this, too, in the face of a manifest
disposition on the part of banks to discour-
age borrowers by hardening their rates Of
interest. The pretense is made by lenders
that money is getting scarce. and that the
surplus is all needed for the movement of
crops. The truth is, there is everywhere a
superabundance of funds. but with the nat
ural caution born of past experience, and a
fear of what might happen in the event of
an overturning of the present Washington
regime, owners Of money are shortening
sail and preparing themselves with judici-
Gus conservatism for possible storms. The
election OF Mckinley would cause an al
most instantaneous easing up of the tenn
porary money stringency and legitimate
