and William Mckinley may we'll look
back with satisfaction upon the part
he has borne in the work of recon-
ciliation. The influence of his ex-
ample, the power of his position. and
all the force of his ability have con-
stantly been given to this end; and his
qualification at the fulfillment of so
noble an inspiration found voice at At

tion-"Reunited-one country again
and one country forever Proclaim 1t
from the press and pulpit; teach it In
the schools; write it across the skies!
The world sees and feels it; it cheers
every heart North and South, and
brightens the life of every American
home! Let nothing every strain it
again! At peace with all the world and
with each other, what can stand in the
pathway of our progress and prosper
ity?"
Upon the field of Antietam. the Pres
ident recently spoke again upon this
subject, and said: "Standing here to-
day, one reflection only has crowded
my mind-the difference between this
scene and that of thirty-eight years
ago. Then the men who wore the blue
and the men who wore the gray
greeted each other with shot and shell
and visited death upon their respective
ranks. We meet, after all these inter
vening years, with but one sentiment
that of loyalty to the Government of
the United States, love of our flag and
our free institutions, and determined,
men of the North and men of the
South, to make any sacrifice for the
honor and perpetuity of the American
nation. " - From "The Republican

Pithy Sayings From Our Popular Wash.
ingtOn Correspondent.

John Chinaman has a good idea of
what to expect from the European
powers; hence his appeal for the in
tervention of Uncle Sam in his be-
half.
1t is only the "other party" which is
abused for trying to get campaign con-
tributiOns.
There was nothing Frenchy about
the doubly fatal duel fought with
pitchforks by two Russians, on South
Dakota farm.
A new gold field has been discovered
in Tanana, Alaska, and another stam-
pede of gold-hunters is expected. Like
some of the other stampedes, this will
probably put more gold in the hands
of the transportation companies than
in the pockets of the gold-hunters.
Texas wool growers are said to hold
100000 pounds of wool, refusing to
sell at present prices. They believe
there is a shortage and the price is
bound to go up.
Wars and preparations for war are
beginning to hurt the world business.
So it ever has been and ever will be.
Permanent prosperity is dependent
upon permanent peace.
A New York ameteur fisherman was
struck with apoplexy while boasting of
his catch. We sincerely trust that no
such fate awaits the local teller of fish
stories.
For a change prohibition is being
made the issue in Maine this year. or
rather, the manner in which the pro-
hibition law is carried out in spots.
The man "who knows China" is
turning up in every old place and that
he is ''lying to beat the band'', will be
shown by comparing few of his state
ments.
Party bossism is fatal TO the pro.
duction of great men in American pol
itics. Look at Grover Cleveland and
Tom Reed. Big as both were in theiI
parties, differing with the bosses o.
their respective parties drove both into
private life; and there are others.
Every good American should con
slider himself constituted a committed
of one to see that peaceable Chinese il
in his vicinity are not insulted or in
jured because of the acts of the Boxer:
in China. In no more effective way
can we show our superiority than by
the protection of our Chinese resi-
dents.

WHEAT EXPERIMENTS.
Loss in Harvesting Before the Grain Is
Fully Ripe.

Fully Ripe.
DIR. Charles Lowndes of Sunnyside,
Miles River Neck, Talbot county, has
made some interesting experiments IN
wheat harvesting designed to show the
loss incurred by cutting wheat before
it is fully ripe. The wheat expert
mented with was planted on the 10th
of October on stiff white oak land and
seeded a bushel and half to the acre.
At harvest time DR.. Lowndes took
three samples of five heads each, all
the heads having the same number of
grains in each bar. No. 1, was taken
when the grain was in milky state,
No. 2, when in the doughy state and
No. 3, when the grain was fully ripe.
Three days intervened between the
taking of each sample. All the samples
were kept in the same place and sub
jected to the same conditions of tenn
perature and moisture. The wheat
was rubbed out by hand. Each sam
pie was carefully weighed on a drug
gist's prescription scales. No. l
weighed 6S grains, No. 2, 65 grains
and No. 3, "a grains. No. l was dark,
shriveled and unsightly; No. was
better, but off color, and the grains
were not plump; No. 8 was perfect in
condition and color. This shows a loss
of over Is per cent in harvesting wheat
when the grains are in doughy state.
Why the milky state grains weighed
more than those in doughy state is
an unanswered question. : CentreUiHe

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is lnfamed you have a rum
bling sounc or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness
is the result, and unless the infiamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

BRYAN ALMOST READY
Has About Prepared His Speech for the
 Notification

Lincoln, Neb., July 29.-Mr. Bryan is so well along with his notification speech and his plans are so well developed that he hopes tomorrow to be able to announce his itinerary for the trip to Indianapolis and return He has no knowledge of the time or place for his notification by the Populists and free silver Republicans, and it is not believed his present itinerary takes into consideration that function. Local politi- clans had hoped that if it was to be in the west MT. Bryan's home in Lincoln would be the place selected, but it is now thought Topeka, Kas, has the first call and will probably get the meeting. It is thought pos sibly the trip to Chicago of Secretary Edg- erton of the populist national committee may have some bearing on the question. MT Edgerton expects to see Charles A. Towne while in Chicago, but said that was no part of his mission.

CHINATOWN HAS
 FIERCE DISPUTE ConSu! at San Francisco and Editor ofChineSe World
 Wax Wroth.

San Francisco, July 29.-A fierce dispute has broken out in Chinatown between Ho Vow, the Chinese Consul General, and Ton Chong, editor of the Chinese World and of the Oriental Occidental Press, one of the leaders of the Reform Association, which seeks to raise an army to overthrow the Empress Dowager and restore the Emper- or to the throne. The editor devoted three pages of his American paper yesterday to scoring the Consul General and an alleged exposure of his weakness and deception. The Consul General retaliated with the explanation that the editor is organizing a revolutionary party which has 5000 men in Chinatown, all of whom he has watched by spies and detectives. Referring to a charge of Chong that Ho Vow had caused Chong's relatives in China to be impris- oned Ho Vow said:
 His relatives were cast into prison ap- parently because they were in league with him to overthrow the present dynasty. We had documentary evidence against them showing that they were in a traitorous league. That any women were imprisoned 1 do not believe.
 "A few months ago a young man named Homer Lee, a graduate of the Stanford university, started Tor Cnlna, preSumaDly to lead the revolutionary party. Documents were discovered to prove his mission and to connect him with this reform associa- tion. On July r the very next steamer after the one that had carried this young American, Homer Lee, took Leon Kai Chow, who, with Rang You Wei, is head of the revolution, away from Honolulu on his way to China. The plan of Homer Lee and his associates was to raise an army of 4G,000 malcontents in the southern treaty ports of the empire and march to Pekin. It was no. Iong ago that succeeded in intercepting at Canton more than 1000 uni forms intended for this reform party. They had been manufactured in the Straits set tlement and shipped from Singapore
 ITO illustrate the absurdity or the claims that this is purely a patriotic movement it is necessary to but read one among many of the clauses in their proclamations. It proclaims that any one contributing $100 to the Reform Association fund shall be made a general, any one contributing s1,0 900 shall be made a viceroy and any one giving S10,- GOO shall be made a prince of the royal blood"

 During the Sunday afternoon concert to- day in Eden Park, the highest of the hill top resorts here, the friends of Case car ried the ashes to that place and literally carried out the will by strewing the ashes to the winds in the presence of a vast crowd while the band discoursed sacred music.

PATERN0'S FEAST
 WAS B|G FAILURE
People Were Passive and Not In. tWested-See No Results
 of Am es y.

Manila, July 29, 11:10 p. m.-(Edited by organized by Senor Paterno and his politi- cal followers to commemorate the amnes- ty, resulted in fiasco. The people were passive, unenthusiastic and not even in terested.
 Failing to perceive any tangible, effective results of amnesty, they say they can see no reason for celebrating.
 Judge Taft and his colleagues of the commission felt constrained to decline to attend the banquet as they had been in formed that the speeches would favor in dependence under American protection and they could not passively lend their ac- quiescene by being present.
 Senor Paterno, foreseeing the suspension of the banquet, without the Americans, frantically appealed to them to attend, promising that there should be no speeches.
 The provosts precautions were extreme. The guards were doubled both days and the authorities forbade the display of Filipino flags and of pictures of President Mckinley and Aguinaldo fraternally framed.
 The feast Is generally considered to have been premature and unsuccessful.
 During last weeks scouting ten Ameri- cans were killed and fourteen wounded. One hundred and eighty Filipinos were killed and sixty taken prisoners. Forty in surgent rifles were captured.

CROWD WAS FURIOUS
Over the Fake Bicycle Race Between
 Michael and Monroe

Providence, R. l., July 29.-Jimmy Mich ael, the bicycle rider, was declared defeated by the referee in his match with Ben Mon roe of Memphis at Crescent Park this afternoon The local track could get Michael here only by agreeing to Michaels requirement for pace, and when the referee called Monroe off the track and awarded him the race the big crewd which had paid double admission price to see Michael was furious.
 The race was fifteen miles, motor paced and Michael used new motor with three and half horse power and fancy set of water coolers, which were nothing more than wind shields, so constructed as to evade the rules The motor did not work well, and at the end of ten miles it went Up. The contract for the race called for MichaePs manager to furnish pace for both riders. When Michaels pace went wrong he tackled onto the rear wheel of Monroe. whose pacemakers being Michael men. slacked up. The next few miles were rid den at a 2:20 gait, and the crowd howled with rage. The referee instructed the motor men to give Monroe pace, but they refused and the farce went on for a few miles until the referee called Monroe from the track and awarded him the race at the end of the fifteen miles. The time for the fifteen miles was 31:22.

Henderson, Ky, July 29.-First Lieuten- ant John Wilbur Ward of the Thirty-third Infantry, now in the Philippines, which regiment was engaged in the chase of Aguinaldo, has written a letter to his father here under date of Cabugao June l, in which he says:
 ''The Thirty third has wounded and pos sibly killed Aguinaldo. He had gathered up the guerilla bands to the number of about 500 men, when the Thirty-third was ordered after him. His forces tried to scat ter, but too late. We hit them in several small parties Aguinaldo and his special body guard of six men were fired on at 800 yards range while they were running, he riding a big gray American horse. The horse was killed and he himself badly wounded in the body Git is since learneD, leaving a trail of blood as he was carried off. All of his private papers were cap tured, discriminating several native priests and rich natives who were furnishing him guns and ammunition, as well as intorma- tion regarding movements of the United States troops Our men were now eX- hausted, having been over three weeks on the trail, with forced marches and very little to eat, at one time marching forty eight miles in twenty-four hours. The rocks had worn out half the shoes of the command and the regiment returned.

CUBAN CONVENT ON
Decree Providing for Election of Dele
 gates Meets With Approval

Havana, July 29-The decree calling the final convention and providing for the elec- tion of delegates meets with almost uni yersal approval at the hands of the Cuban press. The element which has always clamored for independence sees in the con vention the probable consummation of the plans of life time. The Cubano says the United States government has been frank and honest in declarations that are of vital importance to Cuba.
 The Discussion publishes strong editor ial in favor of the convention but ex- presses the opinion that twice the number of delegates fixed by the decree will be nee- essary if the convention is to represent all parties and opinions.
 There is another element that takes d somewhat different view of the convention and of the powers which the United States government seems about to delegate tO the Cubans The autonomists, Cuban capital ists generally, and Cuban merchants siske look with concern upon the prospective placing of large responsibilities in inexpe- rienced hands.

ROCKVILLE WILL

Chicago, July 29-Special Commissioner William 1T. Rockhill, appointed by the gov ernment to ascertain the true situation in China, passed through Chicago today on his ways to the Orient. He arrived at 3 o'clock faid at 6:30 was speeding toward San Francisco, whence he will sail on the Japanese steamer America Maru Au- gust B.
 Asked if he would endeavor to reach Pe- kin to treat with the Chinese government direct he said:
 T think not, unless circumstances war rant it and the court is quiet enough to render possible the success of such an ex- petition. In the country's state of fer ment the journey of a party of Europeans or Americans to Pekin could be accom- plished only with frightful loss of life if at all.
 ''I shall make my headquarters at Shang- hai and investigate conditions as far north ward as circumstances and the troubled conditions will permit My sole duty is to keep the President and Secretary of State advised as to the situation. Outside of that I am net empowered to do anything"
 You salre not invested with plenipoten- tiary power. then?
 No" he answered. My orders can be summed up in two words, Investigate con- ditions' In case the government has fur ther orders for me they undoubtedly will be cabled''
 Mrs. Rockhill, who will accompany her husband to Shanghai, apparently does not fear the prospect before her.
