The WAR IS ON.
Chinese Envoy at St. Peters
burg Given Passports.
SCENES OF HORROR.
Chinese Invade Russian Territory Russian
Soldiers Charged With Appalling Bar
barities- 5000 Bodies Burned.

Special to the Bee.
London, July 19.-According to the
Daily Nails st. Petersburg correspon-
dent the Russian government is already
in possession of definite news that all
foreigners in Pekin were massacred on
July 6. Very little further news is avail
able this morning.
The Yokohama correspondent of the
Daily Mail writes regarding the jealousy
felt among the allies on the subject of
the Japanese commander in chief and
the general lack of unity among them.
He adds: Japanese correspondents
charge Russian soldiers with appalling
barbarity toward Chinese. They declare
that Pei Ho is full of corpses of women
and children and that the Russians load
ed 5000 bodies on junk and burned
Them"
The Russians, according to the latest
news from st. Petersburg, have now
completely defeated the Chinese and
have occupied Blagovstchenk, the CAPT
tai of the Amur government, with large
force. General Gribski, chief of staff at
Port Arthur, has since taken supreme
command.
In Manchari;, reinforcements have
been rapidly pushed up. The Shanghai
correspondent of the Times expresses a
doubt that the southern viceroys will be
able to withstand the pressure of provin-
cial officials to join the anti foreign
movement. He thinks that already there
are signs of wavering in the port of the
viceroys of Nankin, Ii Kun Yah and
Sayasko. It is admitted at Nankin that
Liusa authority is not sufficient to guar
antee the maintenance of law and order
north of the river, hence the consuls at
Kan Yangktse ports are arranging for
the departure of the women and chill
dren. 1t is inevitable that the mandarins
as a body should be in sympathy with
Prince Tuan's movements.
It is stated that when the allies en-
tered the native city of Tien Tsin they
found Chinese dead piled breast high
and it was feared that this would result
in an outbreak of pestilence.
New York, July ia dispatch to the
Journal from London says the Chinese
invasion of the Amur province is equiva
lent to declaration of war against Rus
sia. Constituting it as such, the Russian
government handed the Chinese envoy
at st. Petersburg his passports toda,
and requested him to leave the country
along with the members of his mission
The Importance of this declaration O
war against Russia and of this bold in
vasion of Russian territory lies in thu
fact that it virtually releases the cza
from his obligations to foreigners to ac
in concert with them in China. He il
placed thereby in a position to act indie
pendently.

Electoral

Here there are 100 votes which Mr..
Bryan need not even look at occasionally
to see if they are lost, strayed or stolen,
for it is an absolute certainty that they
are safe to him. 1t is to be observed
that these states give several more votes
than half the number needed to elect a
candidate. In addition to these sure
states there are two others in the south
which in the past have been conceded to
be irretrievably Bourbon property, but
which in 1896 Mckinley carried for the
gold standard. They are Kentucky and
Maryland. If we replace those states in
the sure southern column we have for

Yesterday the big shipment OF over a
ton and a half of the Bee premium book,

least. AS matter of fact eight sub

opinions of those who have seen Scenic
America:
Andrew Dunsire-"Now, understand
me, this book is worth more than the
price you ask for the Bee for year. l
don't know where I could buy one for
$3.50 or more, for l haven't seen any
book to equal it for fine scenery. 1t is a
new idea to me-
II. S. Cannon-"You can say for me
that many of the scenes are familiar to
me and are handsome photographs to
begin with. The execution of the half
tones and binding is fine.''
f. w. Phillips-"l was right there
when this picture (pointing) was taken.
It's grand and I'll take mine right along.
You might run short and leave me out.
Charley Allard- Put me down for the
Bee and I'll take my book when l 60
home. Send the paper to Poison. You've
got good plant here and that premium
is a substantial present for the home"
+. L. Gray-Let me have that light
blue binding, I'll send you my check
this evening. DO like it? Of course
don't you hear me say SO? | got the
first one.'
E. S. Bogart-"I must have the Bee
and here is the two dollars and hall
for subscription for year. It's pretty
nice to get this book free and you ought
to do land Office business by giving ii
to yearly subscribers"
L. G. Klenck- Its grand. Nothing
like it has been given to me by any paper
yet. Send me the Bee for two years
and give me two books.
II. M. Yeiser, "I'll tell my neighbors
about this and no doubt you will heal
from good many of them. 1t is Ger
tainly fine collection of views"
James Conlon-"lt's a beautiful piece
of work, no doubt about that and The
readers of the Bee will appreciate it al
the more when they see it. It's muct
better than one has right to expect"
These are a few of the many remarks
passed on Scenic America You ought
to have one in your home. While they
last you can secure this elegantly boune
work free as an inducement for you t.

This brings Mr.. Bryan to within So
votes of election. There is another min
ing state which Mr.. Bryan carried in
1896, though by only a plurality of few
hundred. It is Wyoming. The repub-
licans expect to carry it this year hand
somely, but to make liberal concessions
to Mr.. Bryan, let US place Wyoming to
his credit. Let us 60 one step further
and give him Delaware, which Mckinley
carried in 1886, but which, any fair

go democratic, the republican situation
in that state being somewhat unsatisfac-
tory. We then have:

Montana Baseball League.


Anaconda, July 19.-Next Sunday will
end the first half of the season for the
Montana Baseball league. In view of
this fact, agitation in regard to splitting
the season is growing stronger and it is
possible the plan will be put into effect.
This plan is to divide the season into
two parts, declare Helena champion of
the first part and start in anew. At the
end of the season the winning team will
play a series of five games with that or

the league. Scores: Anaconda 8, Great

From these states it would be neces-

In New England, of course, there is not
ghost of an opportunity. There is none
in Pennsylvania, nor is there more in
California, Iowa, New Jersey, Oregon,
West Virginia and Wisconsin. In the
following states, then, Mr.. Bryan would
have to look for those II votes:

Either Illinois, Michigan, New York
or Ohio would give enough. Or North
Dakota and Minnesota together would
give enough. But with free silver as the
issue again this year, as it was in 1896,
why should Bryan expect to carry a sin
gle one of these states? We cannot see
it. But, as we have said, and as we
shall have occasion to repeat, Mr.. Bryan
can very easily come close enough to the
necessary 224 votes to make an accident
in supposedly sure republican states
fatal. We do not expect the accident.
But we and others should be fools to
count on the accident as impossible. So
let us work!

From our foregoing table of mining
states we purposely omitted South Da
kota, with four votes. AS an over-meas-
ure we shall throw that state in here,
and Mr.. Bryan has 176 votes-or 4S less
than sufficiency. But there is one
more classification to be considered. 1t
is that of the populistic states. Outside
of the south there are now only two
states which are distinctly populistic.
They are Kansas and Mr.. Bryan's own
state of Nebraska. AS Mr.. Bryan is
more of populist than democrat those
two states, if they still adhered to popu-
lism, would go to Bryan. At any rate,
until the ballots are counted Mr.. Bryan
is entitled to the benefit of reasonable
doubt SO far as those states are con-
cerned, and he then makes the following
exhibit:

This, it must be admitted, is getting
close to the necessary 224 votes. 1t is
sufficiently close, as we have remarked
frequently in these columns, for republi
cans to keep alive to a situation which
bears such grave possibilities. Further
more, it is no wild flight of the imagina-
tion to conceive that Mr.. Bryan can get
even closer to his needed votes. Indiana,
for instance, would add Is more, making
total of 200 votes. How he could go
much further than that it is not easy to
see, for though he carried Washington
| in 1896, the whole Pacific slope has since
given strong proof of it's republicanism.
| Washington, it seems to us, this year is
as soundly committed to the republican
ticket as are California and Oregon. Yet
it is not impossible that Washington
should repeat its performance of 1896
and it's four votes would swell the Bryan
total thus far mentioned to 213 votes.
There would remain, then, only the fol
