Senator Thurston and other demo-
Gratis little thought when they brought
on the war with Spain two years ago,
that the result of their efforts would
in few short months the Stars
and Stripes waving over soil at the
uttermost parts of the earth, yet al
ready Uncle Sans bluecoats are on
the way to China. The ice was bro
ken when they landed in the Philip
pines. 1t was only short step from
there to the Celestial realm and who
knows what may follow in the wake OF
their arrival there.
The United States today is stand
ing in the most delicate position that
has vet marked the progress OF it's
growth and extension. Already it is
puzzling the brains of the greatest
politicians and statesmen of the ma
ton as to what course is the most ad-
visable for them to pursue in adopt
ing policy on the Chinese question.
The National Republican convention,
now sitting in Philadelphia, is unable
| to settle upon definite and united
plan of action. This IS due to the
uncertainty of the situation. The
strength of the enemy against whom
the allied nations have thrown them
selves is matter of vagueSt specula
ton. The sight of an armed host OF
foreigners upon their borders may
awaken that sluggish populace from
sleep of ages, and that which is now
spark may kindle into a flame thai
will astonish the world.
1t is a serious undertaking upon
which the United States is about tt
embark but there is no alternative
Her citizens must be protected where
ever they are. The United States ha
many interests in China not only il
missionary societies but in bushes
rights as we'll. These are in fact al
most as extensive as those Of an.
other foreign nation. The jealousie
which have controlled the actions o
the other contestants have not beel
participated in by the United States
because there is no reason why j
should do so.
This fact alone places America il
the center of a whirling vortex of in
ternational disputes, and it will neces
itate more careful diplomacy than ha
ever yet been exercised by this countr
: to prevent clash from one side or an
other. The safety of the nation wi
depend from now out upon the judge
ment of American officers. Their n
sponsibillty is heavy one. May the
be successful.

FERRELL FOUND GUILTY.
Tho Murderer OF Express Messenger Lane
Convicted OF Murder In the
First Degree.

Marysyille, o., Oct. S1.-The jury, at
midnight, returned a verdict of muir
der in The first degree, without rec
ommendation, against Rosslyn II. Fer
rell for the murder, on the night OF
August 10, last, of Charles Lane, an
express messenger on a Panhandle
east-bound train. The murder was
committed for the purpose of robbery.
Ferrell secured 81, 900 in money from
the safe of the Adams Express Co.
The verdict carries with it the death
penalty, which is eleetrocution.
desperate effort was made to save the
prisoners life. The crime was not
denied, but the plea made that he was
mentally irresponsible and an attempt
was made to show that insanity was
hereditary.
The deliberations of the jury occu-.
pied six hours and thirty minutes, and
the verdict was reached ut 11:4so lfdst
night. Both Judge Melhorn and the
prisoner had retired for the nisnt,
and nearly an hour was consumed be-
fore court could be convened, and the
verdict received. ..aL..,4..
When the verdict was read Fer
ren appeared to be taken by SURPRISE
and. his face flushed. This was the
first visible sign of emotion that had
been shown by him during the ,tri AL.
but he quickly regained compasure.
and was led back. to. his cell without
having uttered a word. Judge Mel
Jbeyp Discharged the jury, and Hon. J.
IL sCameron, scounsef for the defense
at once gave notice of motion for
new trial.
One of the grounds of the motion
will be the sickness of Juror West
lake, who was taken with measles
shortly after the jury had retired to
deliberate. Mr.. Cameron claims nat
in his condition Mr.. Westlake woul0
have agreed to any verdict in orGer to
be released from duty. There were
not over twenty spectators in the
court room, when the jury reported
and there was no excitement.

COAL GAS EXPLOSION.
Three Miners Killed and Several Sc
verely Burned-DificultW Work
of Rescue.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 31.-A heavy
explosion of gas occurred in slope NO
of No. shaft. of the Kingston Coal
Co., at Edwardsville, at three o'clock
yesterday afternoon, in which three
unfortunate miners lost their lives
and six others were badly burned
Five of the six injured are in pre-
carious condition, and it is doubtful
if they can survive. When these men
were brought to the surface by the
rescuers the skin hung in shreds from
their bodies.
The work of rescue was dangerous,
as after damp" had accumulated.
The first rescuing party that went
down the mine were driven back, and
two men in. the party had to be car
ried out.
The force of the explosion was so
great that it blew down a great sec
ton of the roof. 1t was thought at
first that there were a number of men
back of the fall, but last night the
mine officials were of the opinion that
all the men had been taken out. The
relatives of two men report, however,
that they are still missing.
The accident was due to an employe
who diverted the air course unwit-
tingly and allowed the gas to ac-
cumulate in the place where the men
we're at work

FORMER PRESIDENT KRUGER.
VIII Travel Incognito During His
Visits to the Various Eu-
rOpean Capitals.

Paris, Oct. 31.-The foreign office of
ficials believe former President Kru
ger will travel incognito during his
visit to the European capitals, re-
linquishing it is each city only long
enough TO permit m exchange of Wis
its between Mr.. Kruger and the head
of the nation. His stay in Paris will
not exceed As hours, and possibly only
pa. The French government will not
offer Mr.. Kruger any formal func-
ton, though it is expected the city
will tender him a demonstration
which will be scene of enthusiasm.
The government will not take part in
the reception, but will not, however,
put any obstacles in the way of pri-
yate plans of welcome. In short, the
government will not take any step
likely TO be construed as an offense
to Great Britain. though it is certain
President Loubet and Mr.. Kruger will
exchange visits. The same proceed
ing, il is believed, will be followed at
each European capital visited.
