LONDON FEARS SIBERIAN WAR
1t Would Give Russia an Excuse for
Taking Pekfn.

London, July 1S.-The threatened in
vasion Of Siberia by Chinese is consid-
cred here the most serious phase Of the
Chinese situation.
July 18th the Chinese ordered all Rus
slams to quit Manchuria. If it proves a
fast that this act was followed, as dis
patches from st. Petersburg state, by
an invasion of Russian territory it will
mean a war between Russia and China.
This Will give Russia a good excuse
for an isolated descent on Pekin and
may greatly complicate the final set
Element of the eastern question among
the European powers.
Little faith is placed here in the lat
est assurances of the safety Of the for
eign legations in Pekin. The Chinese
forts near Shanghai are being strength
ened.

HOAR AND

Old man Hoar of Massachusetts, is
very much of a political humbug. He
has been a steadfast enemy of the
south. But within a e he came into
the south and speechified and lauded
and bamboozled. He did not fool US q
bit. We know that old fellow of good
rhetoric and impressive eloquence and
intense dislikes and inconsistencies.
AS we mentioned lately he denounced
Mckinley only a little while ago and
is now hot in h collar for that Did
fraud. In his stirring, ringing speech
in the senate he arraigned little Mac
as a "scuttler.". He called an imagi-
nary roll and when he came to the
president he said, quoting from Macs
previous speeches:
William Mckinley; William Nc
Kinley: There has been a cloud before
my vision for a moment, but / see
clearly now; I go back to what l sa;d
two a ago: "Forcible annexation
is criminal aggnssion; governments
derive their just powers from h con
sent of the governed-not of some of
them, but all of them" I will stand
"AeAA AN III Va 4C lCpoblHS. L L
stand with h founders of the repub-
lican party. No."
And now this time-server is howl
ing for Mckinley. Hoar and Mac may
we'll fellowship together for they are
birds of a feather" The New York
Evening Post against Bryan says this
of h two demagogues:
But William Mckinley al Canton
voted yes more ~vehemently than
ever, and bade the fathers of the re-
public go hang. We ave no doubt
that Senator Hoar will rise nobly to
this new trial Of his faith. He will
rust in the president though he slay
him.. But to the doubters all over the
country; to the troubled consciences in
all parties; to the hesitant German
Americans whose votes alone may
turn the whole election, Mr.. McKin-
leys words will bear dismay. His first
speech is, in this respect, his first
blunder. And it is a great and griev-
Gus one"
