The Tientsin correspondent OF the

Gen Gaseieo is anxious TO advance

wOODCHUCKS KILLED SHEEP.
The Curious Discovery Made by an
Old Hunter.
From the Philadelphia Times.


From the Philadelphia Times.
Many interesting stories have been told
about the modest woodchuck and his hab-
it's, but it is safe to say that the charge of
sheep killing aas never before been laid at
his door. The farmers of an Adirondack
town have been missing good many lambs
lately. These were mostly the young and
tender creatures who wobbled good deal
hilly common called the Woodchuck Cob
BILE. The lambs would be found lying about
with their threats badly bitten and their
bodies partly eaten. The cause Of this de-
struction was sought in vain for some time.
Wolves have left the country, foxes are
scarce and we'll behaved generally, devot-
ing themselves to the capture of field mice
and potato grubs during the summer and
early fall. A census of the dogs showed
none that had ever had any fondness for
young mutton.
Finally an old hunter and berry picker, a
haif-breed Ottawa Indian, offered for a few
dollars to spend all his time watching for
the cause of the trouble, and agreed to ask
for no pay unless 1t was clearly discovered
He accordingly armed himself with his old
Winchester and Swallowed the flock for a
couple of days. At night he would wrap
himself In his blanket and bivouac right
among the sleeping creatures There had
been some rain the second night and the
morning following was misty. Along about
7 o'clock he noticed a commotion among
the sheep and cautiously approached under
cover. He was surprised to see young
lamb struggling in the fangs of a rather
large grizzly colored animal that seemed to
have come right out of the earth. The In
dian fred and ran forward to find that he
had shot an old male woodchuck, whose
hole was Just where he had fallen. The
hill was fairly honeycombed with the
homes of these animals, and II may be that
the scarcity of heritage impelled them to
seek this unnatural food. Anyhow. the one

Can Walk ON Water,
From the IDnf1Ou Leader

Many attempts have been made at va
rious times, but hitherto without success, to
invent an apparatus which shall enable a
man to move about on water as freely as
on land. The problem bids fair to have
been solved at last by a German ships
captain. Captain Grossmann's invention, by
the aid of which he can cross rivers, re-
minds one most of the Norwegian ski, or
snow shoe.
1t consists of two tin tubes of about four
yards In length, the upper part of which IS
fitted with three flaps apiece, after the
fashion Of and performing the same func-
lions as fish's inns. These shoes weigh
about forty pounds and can support q
weight of 200 pounds.
The apparatus is fitted with a rudder.
thus enabling the runner to turn about in
any desired direction.
As testimony to the practical value OF
the invention ii Is stated that by its aid
captain Grossmann has already been instru-
mental I'm rescu.ng twenty persons from
drowning.

then have the power, as I have stated. to
force free silver upon the country.
But 1t may be predicted that the same
forces that would repeal the law of last
session would be brought to the point of
passing a free silver law. All the ma
chinery of the two houses would be in the
hands Of free silver men.
Now, II 1t be true, as we all believe that
cant element in our progress and in our
prosperity, and that free silver, as pro-
posed in the democratic platform will bring
disaster and distress to our people and to
all of them, there is such a menace to the
country In the election Of Mr.. Bryan that
1t becomes every voter who believes in
sound and stable money and it's necessity
to our continued prosperity to cast his vote
Tor William Mckinley and Theodore Roose-
welt at this election. and to vote for mem
bers of Congress who will uphold without
reservation the law protecting and defend
ing that standard passed by Congress at its
last session.
Anent His Philippine Policy.
But these votes for free silver in the Sem
ate are as essential to Mr.. Bryan if he is
TO carry out what he calls his Philippine
policy. He must have these same votes in
the Senate or that policy will fail, as he
must have at least a change of the number
OF votes l have described in order that his
policy as respects the Philippines shall have
the siightest chance Of success in the Sem
ate during his administration, and assert
1t as my belief that the chances are much
better for him to secure with his election a
majority In the Senate for free silver than
to secure a majority for the plans and pur-
poses he has marked out with reference to
the Philippine Islands. Therefore, 1t is
plain that II free silver is not an issue in
this campaign. because OF the political COM
piexion OF the Senate. 1t is also true that
imperialism, as defined by Mr. Bryan,
cannot be an issue, and IL one is not to he
discussed why discuss the other?

MAY NEED IOWA SOLDIERS.
War Department. Asks About States
Military Strength.

Des Moines, July 1s.-The deep per-
sonal interest felt by the people of
Iowa in the tragic events now in pro-
gress in China owing to the posi-
bility that Minister Conger and family
of Des Moines and Secretary Balm
bridge of Council Bluffs, together
with number of Iowa missionaries,
are among the dead, will be height
ened by the possibility that Iowa vol
anteer soldiers may be asked to serve
their country in China. A telegram
has been received at the Office of Ad!iu-
tant General Byers from the war de-
partment at Washington asking how
many troops Iowa has available for
service in China and requesting an
immediate reply. Adjutant General
Byers was out of the city but reply
has been forwarded stating that Iowa
has four regiments of infantry and
one troop of cavalry that can be mo-
bilized in Des Moines on twenty-four
hours notice. The troops are mem
bers of the National Guard. a ma or-
ity of whom have had experience in
Cuba and the Philippines or in the
camps at Chickamaugua and in Flor
ida and after mobilization their abil-
ity for foreign service will depend
apon the dispatch of the government.
Among military men in Des Moines
the inquiry is regarded as ominous
and is generally accepted as an in
tication of the intention of the gov
eminent to use volunteers in China.

KILLED HIS WOUNDED.
Seymour Forced to Do 1t to Prevent
Their Torture by Chinese.

Their Torture by Chinese.
London, July lit is reported
from Shanghai that the most horri.
BILE feature of the fighting at Tien
Tsin was that Admiral Seymour was
obliged to kill his wounded in order
to prevent them from falling into the
hands of the Chinese. Bodies of some
OF the men who had been captured by
the Boxers while still alive show that
they had been subjected to the most
horrible tortures. Admiral Seymour
in retreat found that he was unable
absolutely to longer care for his
wounded. He gave hearing to all
who had any suggestions to make,
but it was impossible for the force
to get away and carry the wounded
men with them. Seymour, it is re-
ported, went to tie men, and with
streaming eyes, asked them whether
they would prefer to be shot by their
own commander or left to the ten
der mercies of the Chinese. He in
formed them that it would be impos-
sible for him to do anything for them
and the wounded pleaded at once for
death at the hands of their own men.
A firing squad was made up and
while the little allied force under Sey-
mour held off the Chinese that swarm
ed around. few volleys relieved the
army of it's burden of wounded and
cheated the fanatics of their prospec-
tive victims.

SPENT ENTERTAINING ENJOYS.
Committee Finds Hospitality Cost All
but &32.1l Of Boer Funds.

Washington, July 19.-Some criti-
cism having been made of the fact
the expenditures for the Boer aid
mass meeting held here some weeks
ago. when the Boer ENJOYS were in
Washington. were so large that only
s32.11 was turned over to the fund
for widows and orphans of the Boer
soldiers. an auditing committee was
appointed to examine into the mat
ter. This committee reported that
the total of collections was $1,206.39
Ind the expenditures $1,174.2s; that
the expenditures had been properly
incurred, but were unusually large,
owing to the size of the demonstra-
ton and the fact that the Boer en-
Soys were brought here and enter
tanned for eleven days, during which
they sought to impress the justice Of
their cause on the government. The
auditing committee finds that none of
the money went to defray expenses of
those instrumental in getting up the
demonstration, and that the main OBJ
ject in view, that of calling the atten-
ton of the country to the Boer cause
and enlisting American sympathy,
was achieved,

to save the lives of four others. A
lady with four little ones was driv-

tracks and neither saw the on-coming
express train nor the frantic signals
of the young Aagman. Just as the
horses had set foot on the track, with
the roaring engine not half dozen

the horse by the bride and forced it
back upon it's launches, just as the
train flew by, grazing his back.
