While the Rev. I. T. Headland was
preaching at the street chapel I'm Picking.
half a dozen of the turbulent class known
as Boxers came into the chapel. bent upon
creating a disturbance. They sat down in
different parts of the chapel. and after a
short time began talking aloud 20 each
other across the room. They were first
told kindly that this was contrary 10 the
customs of the Christians. To this they
paid no attention. but continued TO make
remarks. They were then told they must
not do so. but, continuing their onver
sation. they were asked either 20 cease
talking or leave the room. As they went
out one of them reviled Mr.. Headland. his
father. his mother. and all his ancestors.
and as he was reviiing, Au Young, a city
detective. and member OF the church. took
the Boxer by the shoulder and said to him.
'Who are you reviling?' He slapped the
detective in the face. saying. do you know
| nave official business2' An Young
whipped "A small detectives chain out from
under his coat and twirling IL around the
Boxers neck, Kissing in his face. And do
you know l have official business. too2'
The detective took the Boxer 10 the police
station. and then came back for Mr.. Head
land 10 go and explain 10 the police what
had happened. The official. Au. and the
assistant pastor decided that the Boxer
should be chained 10 the chapel door for
three days and nights. and compelled 10
tell everyone why he was there.

The Commissariat Department were not

would find the money in payment Tor the

made in the most peremptory manner. and

Japan effectively without the loss OF a
single man, since. in possession OF the Taku
forts, no troops could be landed at any
reasonable point in the gulf Of Peo-Chihls
without being in danger OF having their
communicating destroyed by Russia's feet
at Port Arthur; and the extensive mud
flats at the mouth of the Pei-Ho river rem
der a landing impossible when the forts are
held by trained and disciplined troops.
To what extent Russia has been baffled
by the energetic and thus far unanimous
action of the different treaty powers will
be decided in a few weeks. That Japan Is
furious at the success OF Russia's diplo-
macy needs no explanation She threatens
10 throw two men into China for every
man Russia lands. There is no doubt that
she has the men and the means 20 trans
port them; nor is there any doubt as 10 the
superiority or efficacy of her fleet. The
main question is as to who shall secure
possession of the Taku forts; even the oc-
cupation of Picking is OF minor consicera-
ton. There is no question that Russia
would have seized them before this II she

SENATOR HOAR.
A Loyal Republican Who Has No Pa
thence with the Democratic Party.
New York Evening Sun.

1t really wasn't necessary for Senator
George Frisbie Hoar to announce that he
would support Mckinley and Roosevelt.
The heart of the veteran has always been
true TO his party. Those who did not know
him conceived the idea at one time that he
had quarreled with il, and was on the point
of joining the Democrats, or going over to
the anti-imperialists, but Mr.. Hoar is
neither a Wellington nor a Schurz. He is
one of the original Republicans. the men OF
1856, whose party ties are as strong as those
of family. Mr.. Hoar thinks for himself, and
does not believe that the purpose of Ian
guage is to conceal thought. If he speaks
his convictions bluntly, ii does not follow
that the spirit of revolt moves him. He
distinguishes between the policy of his
party and its capacity for good. He is not
willing to desert because he might choose
another path through a complication than
that which the party is following. In COM
mon with all Thoughtful Republicans. Sena-
tor Hoar has no confidence in the patriot
ism. good intentions and competency of the
Democratic party. He believes 1T lacks
principle. character and public spirit. He
was brought up TO think so. and observa-
ton tells him that his teaching was sound.
In no emergency would he intrust the gov
eminent of the country to 1t. Whatever the
issue. he is a Republican when Ii comes 10
voting. He prefers to remain in the ranks
and try to bring the party round to his way
of t~ninking-always reserving his privilege
10 admonish and even scold 1t.
1t is gratifying to hear the old senator
say: Does anyone believe that the Amer
lean people have changed; that the great
North has changed; that the Republican
party has changed i'm a minute. in a day.
i'm the twinkling of an eve? Liberty is not
dead. Justice is not dead. Men will diff
fer. Good men will differ. Good men will
sometimes err. Parties are not infallible.
But ! am confident that the great free
North. which achieved and established lib
erty at home. will surely and very soon
establish il abroad" 1t is gratifying be-
cause Mr.. Hoar in his great Grafton in the
Senate on the 18th of April gave his hearers
the impression that he thought the Decla-
ration was at least in a state of suspended
animation. His admirers were panied. but
consoled themselves with the reflection
that Mr.. Hoar was carried away by his
own eloquence. He now talks like a states
man who has hopes for the Republic and
confidence in the good intentions of his as
sociates. AS an optimist Senator Hoar
is one Of the most attractive of public
men.

Col. William Jennings Bryan entertained
Congressman William Sulzer, of New York.
ex-Congressman j. Hamilton Lewis, Of
Washington, several other distinguished
guests, and a number of newspaper cor
respondents at his farm near Lincoln, Neb,
last Friday.
This information has been flashed over
the wires, not as social intelligence, but
as a scrap of agricultural news calculated
TO impress the public mind with the idea
that the peerless leader has become to
all intents and purposes a supplemented
Western farmer. The dispatch goes on
TO say that Colonel Bryan proudly dis
played to his guests his wheat, corr.
oats and garden truck. and his chickens.

American people in the hope that the in
cident may arouse in their minds recolIec-

repeating itself, and bring them face to

the White House a genuine son of the soil.
