o'clock:
THE present conflict between China
and the foreign powers had its origin
in the longstanding antagOnism be-
tween the people and Christian mis-
sions. The subsequent fall of the Taku
forts precipitated the meeting of force
with force. The imperial government.
having due regard to the Importance of
internal intercourse, still refused to go
SO far as TO interrupt the existing re
latiOns.
Foreigners Ordered Protected.
1--WE have already repeatedly issued
DEGREES providing for the protection of
the foreign legations. and also com
manded the provincial authorities to
protect missionaries. Inasmuch as
there is still no cessation in the en-
plOyment of force. foreign merchants
and subjects residing in China. who
form a numerous body in the country,
should be protected without distinc
zion.
I'VE hereby command all the Tartar
generals. governors general and COVER
mOrs of provinces TO look after the for
eign merchants and missionaries living
in the open ports. procedures, depart
ments and districts under their respect
i've jurisdiction. and to afford them due
protection in accordance with treaty
stipUlations without fail.
Last month we heard with profound
establishment and regret of the killing
of the chancellor Of the japanese lega-
ton. Mr.. Akira. and the same fate be-
fell the German minister shortly after
ward. The violent removal of the Ger
man minister, whose residence at the
capital was necessary to the transac-
ton of business between the two c6un-
tries. affected us very deeply II is
the duty of the authorities concerned
to cause stringent orders for the speedy
arrest and punishment of the murder
ers TO be carried out.
Asks Light on Damage Claims.
Since the commencement of the at
tack in Tien Tsin there are foreign sub
jects and missionaries who have. on
account of local disturbances, suffered
death or loss OF property through no
fault of their own. We hereby COM
mand the governor of Pekin and the
viceroy Of Chih Ii to cause investiga-
ticns to be made by their respective
subordinates of all such claims, except
those arising directly from the said at

ESCAPE Is A MIRACLE.
Campania Just Missed Crashing Into
Cargo of Dynamite.

New York, July 2S-The Herald's
London correspondent, describing the
Campania- Embleton collision, says:
The apprentice boy from the bark said
it was miracle the Campania had
not been blown TO pieces.
The boy said: we were carrying a
lot OF dynamite and gunpowder to New
zealand. Our cargo of explosives was
distributed fore and aft. She was
struck amidships Had the collision
occurred either fore or aft, the Cam
pania would surely have been de-
strO-red. -

SHORTAGE FOUND IN
EAGAN'S ACCOUNTS
It Has Been Made Good by Him-The
Amount Is Between Two and
Three Thousand Dollars.

T. ]. Eagan, money order clerk at
the postoffice for several years past,
was arrested Wednesday by Deputy
United States Marshal Clark Lowry at
the instance of Postofl1ce Inspector
German, on the charge Of embezzle-
ment. He was taken before United
States Commissioners Taylor and held
in $1,000 bail for his appearance in
court.
Inspector German was engaged In
making an examination Of Eagan's ac-
counts the beginning of last week for
the purpose of discovering small
shortage, when he discovered series
of embezzlements extending over q
period of three years.
He Immediately caused Eagans ar
rest. The latter admitted his guilt,
and voluntarily came to Inspector Cor.
mans assistance, and ever since his
arrest has been closeted with him
every day for the purpose Of discover
ing the exact amount of the embezzle-
ment. This was ascertained yesterday,
and was Immediately made good by Mi.
Eagan.
The exact amount could not be
learned, but it is known to be between
$1,000 and $4,000. Efforts will be made
to have the case set aside by the
court, considering that full restitution
has been made, and on account of MI.
Eagan's previous excellent reputa-
tion.
The young man is a son of Super
intendent John Eagan. of the Lacka-
wanna Iron and Steel company, and
lives at the corner of Scranton and
Tenth streets.

EvERHART HAS LEFT TOWN.
Is Thought to Have Gone to League
Island to Enlist.

Edwin f. Everhart has left the city.
His relatives admit this and it is
now known that he quit Scranton on
Tuesday morning. His exact where
about are unknown, and neither his
father nor any of those intimately
connected with him win throw any
light on the matter. 1t is. however,
supposed from hints dropped, that he
is now at League Island. near Phila-
delphia. and has Joined the marines.
He did not enlist at the local sta
tion, but there is an erlisting branch
at Allentown. and he may have en-
listed in the service there.
The crime of which Everhart is ac-
cused would not stand in the way Of
his eligibility. While the requirements
are strict nevertheless they adhere to
the old principle OF believing a man
innocent until he Is proven guilty, and
inasmuch as nothing has yet been
actually proven against the young
man, in the recruiting officers eyes,
he Is regarded as almost, If not quite,
blameless.

CLEVER sW1NDLER ARRESTED.
7. H. Greer Had Many Schemes UP
His Sleeve.

t. III. Green. or Greer, an elderly
man with gray hair and moustache, Of
rather distinguished bearing, and wear
ing clothes which We're formerly we'll
fitting, was arraigned before Alder
man Millar yesterday at the instance
Of Chief of Police Robling, who
charged him with being an impostor.
The chief alleges that since Greer's
arrival in the city, three weeks ago,
he has been trying to secure money
for worthless deed for property in
the west. Another one of his lodges
was standing outside of churches Sun
days and begging people for money
for poor widow.
Another of his schemes was the for
nation Of servant girls league. He
visited houses via the back door and
represented himself to the domestics
as being the organizer of a cooks and
maids protective league. He would
then request 81 as an Initiation fee.
Alderman Millar gave Greer until
II o'clock to leave the city. He left.

TAKING TROLLEY COMPANY.
What Select Councilman Chittenden
Thinks About the Plan.

Select Councilman Chittenden is es-
pecially sanguine about the results of
the conference which is to be held In
few days between the license com.
ti!t;ee of select council and the off,
calls OF the Scranton Railway COM
NY, relative to the plan of taxing
the gross receipts of the company
five per cent. In place Of all other
taxes, and apropriating half of the
money so realized for park improve
ment purposes.
He stated yesterday to Tribune
man that he had every reason to be-
lieve that the company would be per-
fectly willing to agree to such a prop
osition If 1t was set before them
squarey and fairly.
"There is no question" said he. "but
that this company should be taxed
more than it is at present. and a great
deal more. Except the Gas and Water
company, consider the street railway
company the best franchise In town.
1t secured our streets free Of charge.
and it should be made 10 pay fair
share of taxes into the city Golfers.
"The objection has been raised that
we can't tax the company more than
NIldt tle aSSTtSdte ol tdN VI Tt"o
on each car would amount to. I dis
pute this. We are allowed to tax both
poles and wire by the act of assembly
in addition to a tax OF 800 on cars.
We at present tax the poles n meager
pittance of fifty cents each. but we
do not tax the wire. ] think that the
total of combined tax on cars. poles
and wire would be very near what a
tax of five per cent. Of the gross re-
ceipts would amount to-.
The fact that one-half of the money
thus derived would be used for park
purposes will, more than anything else,
in my opinion, encourage the company
officials to accept the proposition. They
know that the more we improve our
parks, the more the people will go
to them, and necessarily the larger will
be their receipts"

THE vIADUcT ORDINANCE.
Councilman Chittenden's Theory Re-
garding Damages.

Councilman Chittenden's Theory Re-
garding Damages.
The viaduct ordinance was referred
to the streets and bridges COMMITTEES
of select council at last Thursday
nights meeting of that body, but
was not reported at the special meet
ing held on Tuesday night This net
tied some of the West Scranton coun-
cilmcn and as the committee will not
report on the measure tonight a
strong effort will be made to take 1t
| out of their hands.
The reason that the committee did
not report on the ordinance on Tues
day night and will not report on it
tonight is because the chairman,
Charles L. Chittenden, is making an
effort to secure some sort of an es.
innate of the damages to he incurred,
in order that when council votes on the
measure tho members "may know
what they's voting on" as he says.
Mr. Chittenden has a theory which
he is going to endeavor to prove
The theory is that it would be far
cheaper for the city to buy up the
property on both sides of the street,
from Seventh to Ninth streets. in
stead of paying damages for it. He
believes that the municipality could
then raze the buildings and sell the
property at a figure sufficiently high to
make the difference between it and the
original cost far less than the dam
ages which will have to be paid.
He is going about proving this by
secuing from the property owners an
estimate of their damages and of
what they would sell their property
for.
