Steuaenberg's War..Debt.

Last week the Moscow Mirror
had an interesting editorial on
'Steunenberg's War Debt which,
of course. referred to the expenses
incurred in connection with the
Occur d Alene riots. The Mirror
seems disposed to take the position
that Shoshone county and not the
whole state should bear the bur
den. We are not we'll informed as
to the legal questions involved,
but it seems to US that Governor
Steunenberg, acting in the name of
the state, took the matter entirely
out OF the hands of Shoshone coun-
ty, and proceeded to administer
the affairs OF that county as related
to the riot and rioters without in
any way consulting the county au-
thorities. Such being the case, it
does MOI appear reasonable that the
county should be made to bear
burden which was incurred solely
by the state officials and we appre.
bend that the state at large will
have to pay the Steunenberg war
debt if it is paid at all. But come
to think Of it, in 1898 Governor
Steunenberg was SO prudenty dis
posed as TO veto similar obliga-
ton incurred by Governor MeCon
nell. Now, would it not be some
thing in the nature Of just retribu-
ton if the legislature should refuse
to make any appropriations to
cover Governor Steuneuberg's OBJ.
legations. When the present gov
ernor took that fling at his prede-
cessor, he little thought that he
might be placed in like situation
SO soon. In any event, none Of the
Steunenberg war debt, which is
said to exceed $Ioo, 900, should be
paid until its legitimacy is
proven beyond doubt. caldwell.

Some OF our contemporaries are
using the old cry Of a billion dol
lar congress which can be easily
answered by the fact that this Is q
billion dollar country. The cereal
crop of 1900 runs into the billions
OF bushels. The exports for the
calendar year 1900 will reach a
billion and a half of dollars, and
the imports are $4,000, 900, the
excess Of our exports owe, our i'm.
ports for 1900 Is over a half billion
dollars. This is a billion dollar
country and it is growing rapidly.
Considering our exports alone. !,
may be said that for the calendar
year 1900 they will double those of
the calendar year 1888 and a.e
three times those of 1872, four
times those of 1860 aud FIVE times
those Of 1862. These are I'M posing
figures and measure over against
any possible claim that the growth
Of expenses exceeds the growth OIL

PULLING CHURCHES DOWN.
Nefarious Work of English Sparrows o
the Shore.

Ne1uf1OuS WORK OF English oparrOWs va
the shore.
Easton, Nd, June 25.--Our brick
buildings here in the country are
menaced by an unexpected danger
especially the country churches in quiet
and secluded places. On the Eastern
Shore We feel perfectly safe in our sub
stantial brick houses from earthquakes
and storms, but it seems there is an
insidious and hitherto unsupported
enemy at work which threatens to
cause our brick and mortar fabrics to
come tumbling down on our heads.
This enemy is the hated and despised
English sparrow. 1t is said they are
at work on old Wye Church, in Talbot
county, picking out the mortar between
the courses of bricks and seriously
weakening the walls. This church is
in secluded place: it is opened once
on Sunday aud occasionally for funerals !;
there is no person living OH the ample
church grounds; the walls are ivy COW
cred. A Kent county gentleman says
the English sparrows Ete destroying
the Methodist Protestant Church at
Kennedyville. On one side of the build
ing they have taken the mortar from
between the bricks three feet up the
wall from the ground and from half
inch to an inch in depth in every seam.
In some places they have gone clear
through between the outside bricks.
This gentleman has been closely watch
ing the birds do what be calls their
''devilish work." and he says en-.
phatically IF something is not done 10
stop them the church must fall.
The spaIrows have no grudge against
the churches. They are simply respond
ing to call from Nature, which re-
quires them to get lime and eat it for
their egg shells and gravel for their
gizzard functions. Mortar furnishes
both. If they attack churches in pre-
ference to private dwellings 1t is be-
cause they are less liable to be dis
turbed there. Where there are oyster
shell roads, or other surface supply of
lime and fine gravel, they will not
attack mortar joints. But they must
have these food materials, or the race
will perish. Without lime there will
be no eggs and hence no more young
sparroWs: without gravel they cannot
triturate their food and must'die from
indigestion.
The English ivy which covers the
walls of many brick and stone
churches lie the favorite housekeeping
place of the English sparrows. There
they nest, lay their eggs, hatch their
young and rear their bioods. In the
dense, warm sunshiny ivy of the south
walls they spend the winter. Thousands
of them inhabit the massy ivy which
covers the high walls of Christ +. e.
Church, Easton. In June four-ounce
| bird has four pounds Of vitality and
ceaseless activity. Their chatter is
voluminous. On Sunday morning when
the tail Gothic windows are thrown
open the uplifting of the voices from,
the throats of thousand English spar
rows browns the pulpit and sometimes
| oulsounds the organ,

TERRIBLE SIGHT AT TlENTSlN.


The Streets Filled with the Bodies OF Mas
sacred Men and Women.
London, Eng, June 26, 1.25. p. m.-
The exclusive dispatch of The Asso-
ciatsd Press from Chefoo, giving Rear
Admiral Kempff's authoritative an
nouncement of the relief of Tientsin,
June 23d, remained for hours the sole
news of this occurrence of world wide
Importance. At about I O'Clock, the
Hongkong and Shanghai Banks Lon
don branch received confirmation of the
news, and at about the same time Mr..
Dawson, delegate from Singapore to
the congress of the Association of
Chambers of Commerce of the United
Kingdom, now in session here, in
formed his fellow delegates, amid loud
cheers. that he had just received a dis
patch from his son, announcing the
relief of Tientsin. I
The news reached Berlin later, fiom
the German consul at Chsfoo, who an
nounced that the relief column entered
Tienstin during the afternoon of June
23d, and started again, june Gath, to
Ie cue Vice.A dmiral Seymour, who,
with the foreign ministers, was said
to be occupying a position l21a miles
from Tientsin, where he was surrounded
and hard pressed by great force of
Boxers and Chinese regulars. Possibly,
the Japanese report that Seymour is a
prisoner and that the ministers had
loft Pekin guarded by Chinese soldiers
is merely distorted version Of the
Berlin story. But, in any event, def
mite news may be expected speedily, and
it is confidently believed here that Sey
mour and his companions will be safely
delivered from their plight.
According to the report of a Chinese
refugee who has arrived at Shanghai,
the condition of Tientsin is horrible.
Every where in the streets, are the
bodies of massacred men and women,
Americans as we'll as all other nationali-
ties. The llongkong and German
Banks, he adds, we're both destroyed
early during the bombardment.
Shanghai also reports that the
American Russian relief force was SO
badly ambushed that the force was
Obliged to abandon several field guns
and much ammunition. About 1S0
Russians and II Americans were killed
or wounded. The German Runboat Hits
and Russian torpedoboat destroyer
are Iatrolling the Pei-Ho River, and
raking with machine guns the native
villages on the river banks. which arc
filled with concealed 'snipers. = A
dispatch from Canton to the Associated
Press says that city remains quiet, but
the female missionaries from the out
lying districts are coming in, owing tc
the warnings Of native Christians. The
missionary hospitals are being deserted
by the students and servants Although
it is officially said at Canton that Il
Hung Chung will not go to Pekin, he
continues his preparations for de-
parture.
A telegram from the governor of Kiao
Chou, dated June 25th, which reached
Berlin, announces that, according tc
reports from Chinese sources. Vice.
Admiral Seymour's force has reached
Pekin. This is probably merely a reit

THEY HAVE NOT YET BEEN IDENTIFIED

A passenger train on the Macon
branch of the Southern railway ran
into washout one and half miles
north of McDonough, Ga, Saturday
night, and was wrecked. The wreck
caught fire, and the entire train, with
the exception of the Pullman sleeper,
was destroyed. Every person on the
train, except the occupants of the
Pullman car, perished.
Atlanta, Ga. ;, June 25.-In an inter
view, Superintendent W. A. Vaughan
Of the Atlanta division Of, the Southern
railway said: Superintendent Jones
wired me at my residence the list Of
casualties as reported to him. 1t
shows tie name of seven passengers,
IL employees of the road, and three
bodies unidentified. The name Of
Elder Hensen. supposed to have been
a travelling man from Florida, does
not appear on the list, ror have heafd
anything about eight negro section
bands reported to have been kilIed. =
q A late dispatch from McDonough says
that two of the unidentified whites are
said to be Robert Buchanan ofiAtlanta
and r. NJ. Seewalt Of Chicago.
Additional reports, received today,
show that the list of the dead probably
will number Al. The number of the
gang Of section hands on the wrecked
train, all of whom were killed, is not
known. Several of the bodies have
been removed from the wreckage, but
they have not been identified. Six
dead passengers were brought here to-
day. Traffic probably will be resumed
