FROM CHAFFEE AND CoNGEF
Two Messages of Uncertain Date Re
 ceived.

Washington. Sept. IA very inter- esting dispatch was received today at the war department fom General Chaf- fee. It described the military situa- ton as eminently satisfactory and would have been of greater value but for the commission common to all of the dispatches from Chaffee. namely. the date line. However, taking into con sidera ton the fact that a cab,egram was received by the state department today dated five days ago, from Con- ger, the conclusion was reached that Geneal Chaffee's dispatch also was sent from Pekin about August 29 or 90
 General Chaffee makes a very i'm portant question as to the withdrawal of the American troops. The answer to the question. it is said, might have been found in the state department answer to the Russian evacuation prop Osition, but that answer, or rather the synopsis of it, was not cabled General Chaffee until the 30th, and it is assumed that allowing for the same time m transmission as was consumed by Gen eral Chaffee's dispatch received today, the synopsis has just reached him.
 When the American answer to the Russian proposal was made public it was stated here that General Chaffee had been instructed some time before by telegraph just what course to pur- sue in the matter of retiring from Pekin in the event of the emergency that afterward arose. This being so. to- days application for instructions might be regarded as an indication that he had not received the original instructions when he sent his mes sage. It is stated that no order has been sent to General Chaffee to leave Pekin as a result of any recent de- velOpment
 The text of the Conger dispatch was not made public. but it was authOrita- lively stated that it did not change the situation and was devoted somewhat to expressions of opinion. It Was au- thOritatively stated in this connection that MT. Conger will remain al his post until further orders. In view of the statement of Count LansdOrf, the Rus sian minister of foreign affairs in the Official Messenger. that orders alre ady had been issued to M. DeGiers and to the army to leave Pekin. the statement was made at the state department that no such determination had been com municated to Washington. Probably nothing short of an official statement from Pekin to the effect that the Rus sans had withdrawn would be regard ed by our government as a sufficient basis for such important action as the withdrawal of our troops.

 A COMPARISON.
 But it is when We compare the con ditions of the country at these two periods that we are really surprised. In 1869 our population was 6S9319 less than the state of New York in 1890. namely. 5.3OS. 4S@: while today. if eXpec- pectations materialize the census office will soon announce a population of 75. G0OOcO. a growth of 200 per cent. Since then our nations trade has multiplied fourteen fold, being in 1890 but $1G0, ,0C0- GOO. Our nations wealth in 1900 was $2O0 OOO, ,OG0; while today it is $lO O00, O00,- GOO. Our debt was heavy while our eX- perience as an independent govern ment as compared with that of today may be stated as being ten to one in favor of the latter. In acreage We we @ bounded on the north by English forts at Toronto and other places. in plain cOntravention of the treaty of i1S3; on the east by the Atlantic ocean, sailed by hostile ships, WnlCn irtSpa$Std upon us at every opportunity: on the south by watching foreigners; and on the west by that state which now affords us our president in the person of William Mckinley. which had not yet been ad- mitted into the Union. and Was inhab- ited by continually troublesome Indian tribes. In states We numbered sixteen: while our readiness for effectual ra- sistance against any European nation was what the state of Ohio would to- day be against England.
 EARLY IMPERIALISM
 It must not be forgotten that all through Adams administration the purchase of the Louisiana territory had been contemplated, and that the demo- -crats (then called the repubncans) headed by that noble Jefferson. as sailed the plan with the same vehem- ence that that same party, headed by Bryan. a pCpulist, attacks the sup posed issue of imperialism" today.

ELECTRIC SHOCK VICTIMS.

Every now and then we hear Of acct
dents from electric shock. These are
contingencies of modern civilization so
new that few people understand their
nature, treatment or chances of re-
covery. Two kinds of serious results
have been observed, one beyond hope
of recovery and the other resembling
it so closely that neglect may result in
death.
The Medical Record has printed a
thorough discussion of the matter.
showing that electricity causes death
sometimes by the descriptive and cleo
trolytic effects of the charge on the
tissues. There is no recovery from such
action of the fluid" But death is some
times caused indirectly by arrest of
respiration and syneope, caused by
stimulation of the nerve centers, and
it is under these circumstances that
a person may be revived if proper
measures are observed. The formula
for reviving victims of electric shock
is as follows:
The person so disabled should be treat
ed ike one drowned; in other words, he
should be laid upon The back, and aTtiti-
cial respiration performed in the way
that is ordinarily described. Some
further practical advice however, is
given to those who are called at once TO
the scene of the accident and at the time
when the person is perhaps stil in con-
tact with the wires III cOuSe, the hrst
thing TO be done is to stop the current
or break the contact. In doing the tat
ter, one should not touch the victim on
the face or hands or any naked part of
the body. It is better TO lift him by the
cOattails or to throw q blanket over him
and pull him by this. Nothing that is
wet should be thrown upon him, and II
his clothes are wet the hands should not
be put in contact with them A piece Of
dry wood can be placed under the body
and he can then be lifted. The further
treatment of the case is the familiar one
applied in attempting to restore the
drowned The arms are. worked and the
tongue is kept drawn out: the body may
sometimes be rubbed thoroughly with a
cloth or brush in order to Increase the
circulation of the blood. Oxygen and
perhaps a stimulant may be employed.
It is well enough for the general pub
lie to become acquainted with the char
acter of these accidents and the sim
plest methods of restoring life.

SALT LAKES PECKsNIFF.

Just a few days ago the Salt Lake
Tribune had a violent attack of viz
tuous indignation because The Herald
had seen TT 70 ''ktIl' a dispatch Of Two
or three hundred words giving the
opinion of some st. Louis man as to the
causes of the strike there. In its fit
the Tribune talked as though it were
q crime for a newspaper to edit its
news. although it knew that columns
of matter. both local and Geographic,
are thrown away every night by every
newspaper in the country for lack Of
space in which to print it,
Saturday one of the Boer ENJOYS was
given a great reception in Omaha, and
afterward a big meeting was held al
which w. J. Bryan made an eloquent
plea for The South African republics
and the cause Of liberty throughout the
world. The Associated Press sent out
q report of nearly a column on this
event. It was interesting reading for
every American citizen no matter what
his politics. Did the Tribune print it?
Did it practice the doctrine it preached
so ferVently a week ago and give fair
report Of the news Of the day? Here is
all the Hanna organ had 10 say about

address.
1t is a fair guess that not another
newspaper in the country. Democratic
or Republican. failed to print the COM
pIete report as sent out; and yet this
latter-day Peclzsnif pretends to preach
professional ethics to its eontempora-
ries. It has not printed an honest re-
port Of anything Bryan has said or
done since its transfer 20 Hanna; it
wouldn't print a fair report of any
democratic proceedings if it were paid
for it-and that's the final test of its
capacity. It doesn't know how to be
honest with 81 antagonist public or
private.

FACTS ABOUT BOXERS.

DR.. A. P, Peck, who has Just returned
to Chicago on visit after twenty years

Many Of these Boxers" DR.. Peck said,
ARE an ignorant lot of desperate robbers.
Each winter outlaws assemble in the agri-
cultural districts and towns OF China, and,
although their haunts are well known, the
local authorities are pOwerless to suppress
them. There is no possibility of the police
dealing with them. The uprising must he
duelled by trained government troops.
The present insurrectiOn will not, in my
opinion. attain large proportions, as the

And hear not the fall of footstep
Around me, save Gods and my own;
And the hush of my heart is as holy
As hovers where angels have down!

Whose music my heart could not win;
Long ago was / weary of noises
That fretted my soul with their Gin;

But caught a mere glimpse of its Blue:
And l wept when the clouds of the Mortal
