Republicans of his county are highly
elated over the number of accessions TO
their party from the ranks of the Demo-

new Republican, and they are men whose

no longer affiliate with the Democrats and
has cast his lot with the Republicans.
Captain Baird is highly pleased with the
manner in which President Mckinley has
handled the questions relating to our new

with the foreign policy as mapped out in
the Democratic platform. He is a member
of one of the most prominent families in the

FIT. WAYNE, Ind, Aug. 15.-The nomina-
ton of II. II. Haines for Congress last
night by the Social Observation-Disclosures
of Eugene Debs-has caused the friends of
Representative Robinson much alarm. and
they are affecting to despise the move
ment and to disparage the numbers of those
interested. The Social Democrats are ac-
tive. and the large railroad following which
Debs has in FIT. Wayne and Garrett-two
railroad centers-has taken his candidacy
seriously. The propaganda in Allen county
is in charge of II. III. Wefel, a prominent
and successful ruggist whose Inspiration
is the academic socialism of German. He
says the Social Democrats here number 500
voters, and that the club has a membership
of 437. Nearly every member was former
ly a Bryan Democrat, and few, IL any, have
at any time ever voted the Republican tick
ct. The Debs movement here is the spon-
taneous result of socialistic teaching by
Debs and the standar writer's on the sub
ject. The leaders make no claim to ability
TO elect any one this year. but say they
are looking forward to the time when their
strength will compel the Democratic party
to adopt their principles just as it has done
with the Populist party.

who killed man by the name of Carney,
at Martina, Missoula county, in 1893 and
was convicted of murder in the second
degree and sentenced to 81 years in the
penitentiary, was made free man today
by the action of the state board of par
dons in approving his pardon by Acting
Governor Spriggs during the absence of
Governor Smith from the state. The
pardon was allowed upon the strength,
largely, of an affidavit that was filed in
the case by Mrs. Pendergast, who swore
to having heard Carney make threats
against Gallaghcr's life the day Of the
killing. The evidence was not used at
Gallagher's trial because the woman
never told Of it until the day the jury
found Gallagher guilty.

A TERRIBLE FATE.
The Russian Minister At Pexin Meet. A.,
Awful Death.

Awful Death.
"A recent dispatch to the Chicago Rec
ord from st. Petersburg via Paris saws:
The czar has received, with great emo
ton, the dreadful details of the catastro-
phe at Pekin. Tears coursed down his
majesty's cheeks as he read the cable
gram from Admiral Alexieoff at Port
Arthur, confirming the horrible details
OF assassination of M. de Giers, which
merely in the form of rumors had already
reached Russia.
The admiral declares that the Russian
envoy was dragged through the streets
by the Boxers, insulted, beaten and tor
tured, and even thrown into great ket-
tie and boiled to death. Then the
remains were thrown to the dogs. While
M. de Giers was being disposed of the
frantic mob danced around the caldron.
Mime. de Giers, Admiral Alexieoffs
advices declare, suffered fate worse
than death and was beaten and tortured
with sharp sticks until life was extinct.
The legation officials are said to have
been tortured tiendishly until death
ended their sutferings.
M. de Giers and his legation officials
resisted desperately and his brave body
guard killed many of the attacking mob.
In the middle of his torture the envoy
is said to have heroically proclaimed his
faith in Christianity, encouraged by his
wife who SO soon shared his martyrdom
Count Lamsdorf received the friends
OF the murdered ones at the foreign office
and unfolded to them the tragic story.
The scenes of frenzied terror and grief
that followed were unspeakable.
The building of the foreign officers
was besieged by an excited throng and
the whole of st. Petersburg is full of
lamentation.
Immediately after Admiral Alexieoff's $
dispatch was received the czar ordered
the cabinet and council of state to 90
into session at once.
Russia's Korean relations at the pres
ent moment are all that could be desired.
The audience of the Korean envoy last
week, when he presented his credentials
to the czar, was most cordial. The Ko-
rean minister and his cabinet are in
clined to be favorably impressed by
Russia's successful activity in China and
the empires tolerant attitude towards
japan.

Brings the Denationalixc.l s,,ol, to III.
Senses.
London, July 19.-Waldorf Astor has
apparently reached the conclusion that
he made grave blunder when he pub
licly insulted Captain Sir Archibald
Berkeley Milne. Today Mr.. Astor pub
fishes in his newspaper, the Pail Mall
Gazette:
I'VE desire to express regret that a
paragraph which appeared in this col
umn July 3 with regard to the presence
of Sir Berkeley Milne at Mr.. Astor's con-
cert, tho preceding Thursday evening,
should have been published under mis-
apprehension of the exact circumstances.
Explanations of complete categorical
kind now show that Sir Berkeley Mines
presence was due to misunderstanding
that entirely absolves him from any in
territorial discourtesy."
Mr.. apology was, without doubt,
forced by the action of the Prince of
Wales, who, when the matter was placed
before him, unhesitatingly expressed his
indignation and declared that unless an
ample apology was Forthcoming Mr.. Astor
could not be permitted to retain his
membership in the Marlborough club.
The Prince of Wales views we're con-
veyed to the club committee and Mr..
Astor was notified that an apology alone
could save him from being expelled.
Though this apology is now forthcoming
and Mr.. Astor has narrowly escaped the
ignominy of public expulsion from the
club, it is widely asserted that his forced
repentance will not save him from being
cold -shouldered by all who are not daz-
zled by his wealth.

ruff Halsey, secretary of the Presbyter-

ing on the Chinese situation, said:
1.-THE missionary has had his share in
fomenting this trouble and must bear
his share Of the blame. Some of the
missionaries have been politicians as we'll
as Christians and their grasping, selfish
attitude has helped to breng about the
present condition. Very significant is
the attitude of the Chinese toward the
Roman Catholic missionaries. l know
of many Roman Catholics who have
done really good work, but it is true, un-
fortunately, that the whole Roman
Catholic propaganda is political as we'll
as religious. This has been practically
exemplitied in the Philippines, where
the influence of that great church of the
ages was used for self-aggrandizement.
So it is in Peru. Chile and Brazil. In
China the Roman Catholics have suf
fered first because they meddled with
Chinese politics."
