PASSING OF HUMBERT
Criticism of the Dead Kings Reign
 by One Who Knew Him.

1t is a custom in Europe. as well as America, and from a charitable point of view. a very proper one. to bury a dead mans imperfections in the tomb cherishing in memory only his good deeds. To this custom, perhaps, may be due the fact that since the assa assn- | ation of King Humbert of Italy nothing of a critical nature has appeared re- | garding him, while, on the contrary, the papers have been filled with stories of his good deeds.
 A citizen of Phoenix. who first saw the light in sunny Italy. speaking of the murdered king, said that while he deplored his assassination and had no sympathy with anarchists, his personal opinion was that HumbeN was not a. good king. The speaker had served in the Italian army while Humbert was an officer and before he ascended the throne. He says that the prince did not distinguish himself as soldier. but, on the contrary, was at times cruel. He recalls one incident in Milan when times were hard and the poor peo- pie gathered in crowds asking for work or bread and says that Humbert, in
 
 soldiers to charge upon them and feed them bullets.
 The speaker however. was loud in his praise of Victor Emanuel and con- trasted his reign with that of Humbert very much to the discredit of the lat ter. He speaks of the reign of the old king as a season of prosperity. during which the products of the Italian fields found d ready market in France, and there was profitable interchange of commerce. On the contrary, as soon as Hunbert had effected the now histori- cal triple alliance. France withdrew her patronage and Italian products be- came a drug on the market with conse- quent hard times.
 Continuing, the speaker said his fail ure in war was as marked as his lack of statesmanship. About all he ever succeeded in doing that will make his name famous in history was to get his army beautifully whipped by King Menelek in AbysSinia and thousands Of his brave soldiers killed. No" he add ed, "Humbert may have meant well, and l am sorry his career ended that way. but to speak truthfully, he was not a good king"

 West Virginia Volunteer.

Parkersburg, w. Va. Aug. "A let ter just received from the Philippines tells of the capture of the rebel General Hizon by a West Virginia boy, a pri- vate in a volunteer regiment. On the 11th of June, while squad of men un- der Sergeant Clovis. of Parkersburg. w. Va. were making some measure ments along the road. they saw a na- tive leave house and ride away in a manner that aroused their suspicious. The Americans followed, and kept up a constant fire for over a mile. By that time Private Wheeler of Hunt ington, w. Va, was almost up with the fugitive. when his horse stumbled. throwing the Filipino. Wheeler dis mounted and found the native lying in a ditch. His ankle had been sprained and his wrist broken. He asked to be spared, but Wheeler forced him to give up his revolver and belt, and took him prisoner. By that time the rest of the squad had come up. and the pris- oner was identified as the noted rebel, General HiZon.

THEY SAW A BALLET DANCE.
Private Exhibition for Certain Camp
 Meeting Officials.

Ocean Grove. N. J., Aug. 7.-The Ie- fusal of Bishop J. N. Fitzgerald and the Rev. J. H. Alday of the Camp Meet ing association, to permit the presenta- tiOn of Barrie's The Little Minister last night, in the Auditorium by read ing and stereopticon picture, because it smacked of theatricals. has brought 10 light the fact that several officials of the association, with women members of their families, attended a show following the recent vitascope exhibi- ton at which several lively pictures were displayed. These pictures had been eXpurgated from the public pro- gramme. Among them was ballet dance.
 The Rev. pr. A. E. Ballard, vice president of the Camp association, refused to attend the private exhibition saying that he did not want to see the pictures, and he strongly advised the officials who did go. not to do it
 The Rev. pr. J. E. Price of Yonkers. of the school of theology. who arranged for last nights entertainment. insists that the officials acted inconsistentIy :n permitting a cake walk at the vitascope exhibition. Bishop Fitzgerald and Dr. Alday acknowledge they have not read Barrie's book but, they objected to the exhibition on general grounds.

NO ENTRANCE TO PEKIN.
If the Chinese Are Strong Enough
 to Prevent 't.

London. Aug. S.-4:35 a. m)-"In case the troops advance. the Chinese must fight The suggestion that the allies should be allowed to enter Pekn in order to escort the ministers to Ten Tsin is absolutely impossible" This is the dictum of Li Hung Chang. IL was transmitted last evening to William Pritchard Morgan, ms mber of parIia- ment for Merthyr Tydvil, by his agent at Shanghai.
 The agent had carried to Earl Ii q message from Mir. Morgan urging that the allied troops be allowed to enter inc capital and stating that d settle ment could be made at Tien Tsin. whereby the war of the world against China would be av0ided; but even the optimistic Li failed to hold out the slightest hope of it's feasibility, al- though he reiterated to MT. Morgans $ agent his declaration that the min isters had left Pekin, fixing the date of their departure as August 2. These messages have been sent to Lord Sal isbury accompanied by a statement by MT. Morgan urging that the allies should take no steps to endanger the lives of the ministers.
 A message from the Belgian minister dated Pellin, August 2, seems cffectual- ly to dispose of the rumors that the ministers have either left or are intand- ing to leave Pekin. The Chinese min istcr In London, Sir Chin Chin Lo Feng Luh, says he has received a telegram from China announcing that a long inn rial edict was issued on August ? 1uthOrizing inc immediate and ga f.. conveyance of all Europeans in Pekin to Tien Tsin.
 The Sebastopol correspondent of the Daily Graphic asserts the Russian gov ernment will send 125,O00 additional troops from Odessa 10 the far east be- fore the end of the year.

FALLING INTO LINE
No Opposition to Construction
 of a Reservoir
The Earlier Objections to an Encour. aging Bond Issue Melting Away Before the Urgent Necessity of Water.

An overwhelming majority of the business men of this city and most of the farmers who have been interviewed on the subject of voting storage reser- voir bonds have said more or less di- rectly that they are favorable to the project. Many of them have said that they wished the end might be accOmp- lished in some way without a bond is sue, but there seemed to be no other and early way than the plan proposed by The Republican. All are agreed that the need of water was never so urgent as it is today and that until there is a reservoir there can be no assurance that these periods of urgent need will not recur with ruinous frequency.
 MT. r. L. Brill said yesterday in this connection that a permanent water SUD- ply must be sought in the most avail able way, even if that way were not so acceptable as some other one which would be more pleasing but less eff fective.
 It may be said that there is no where in the county any objection to the is sue ot. bonds if it can be shown that they will procure the successful build ing of a reservoir.
 pr. J. C. Norton. territorial vetori- marian, when asked about the proDosi- ton to bond the county, said: Yes. I favor the idea; would favor almost anything that would result in getting water storage. The conditions in the valley at this time are simply frightfuI and something must be done to relieve them If we would have our prosperity continue. In the nature of my busi- ness l am kept in pretty close touch With the cattlemen and I am fully aware of the difficulties they are labor ing under just in the matter of pasture It frequently occurs that they are re- quired to move their herds from one place to another and it is almost impos- sible for them to find both pasture and water, at least without dividing their cattle up into small herds, which is in convenient and expensive. This is only one of the expensive and trouhIe- some things that follow the scarcity of water. If We can ge. storage by is suing the bonds it seems to me we should take advantage of the oppor- tEnty-"
 Anoths' well known taxpayer was in- terviewd. He did not care to enter into d discussicr of the question in print, so asked that his name be with held. He said: "The bond issue seems all right the way The Republican has been presenting the question. I am naturally opposed to bond issues, be- lieving that as a general thing they go to help out some corporation that later bleeds the people. However, the cir cumstances that surround this case are somewhat unique and different from the circumstances of the usual boud is sue. Water storage while 1t may feather the nests of those who furnish the capital may on the other hand prove a loss to them as it is to some degree experimental. As for the county it is an actual necessity and we ought tn be willing to offer all the encoura gem@nt possible. For myself I think I would be wiling to forego my natural preju- dices in the matter and support d ponI issue"

CHAFFEE's DISPATCH.
The Plan of the Internationals Ex-
 plained.

Washington, Aug. r. The war de partmen't has received ihe foilowins cablegram from General Chaff5e: ''Che Foo, Aug. '. "Adjutant-G Washington: "'Tien Tsin, Aug. 3.
 "'The conference today decidea on a battle on Sunday. The Chinese are en- trenChld cast and west through Pei Tsang. The left of the Chinese is pro- tected by flooded ground and is prac-
 ticaIly unassailable. The Japanese, English and American forces, 10000 strong. attacked the Chinese right. west of the river, in the flank, the other forces, the Russian and French, about 4000 strong, the opposite side be- tween the river and railroad. The Chinese position is apparently strong. The army is reported at 30,000 between Pei Tsang and Yung Tsun, on the crossing of the road over the Pei Ho. Our forces are 1000 and a battery. The Conemaugh has arrived. The Sixth cavalry was left at Tien Tsin to guard the city. and awaitinge mounts. Tn ministers were safe on the 18th of July.
 (Signed) "CHAFFEE."
 General Chaffee's dispatch shows an important feature of the plan of cam paign agreed upon by the international commanders. It is that the present objective point of the column is Yang Tsun. This is a town about fiftea n miles beyong Pei TsanG. at a point here the railroad crosses the Pei Ho river from thH right on the way to Pekin. Once in possession of this point the international force would have both railroads and the river in its rear for keeping open communication with Tien Tsin.
 The general feeling at the war de- partment is that unless the Chinese generals have been completely demOr- alized by the Pei Tsang attack, there is very severe figh,ing ahead for the international forces and that the ground will be disputed all the way to Pekin.

IRELAND
Will Not Be Represented
at Special Session
IN PARLIAMENT
The Green Isle Has a Con-
tempt For England

London, Nov. 26.-The following
is the statement Of William O'Brien,
NJ. P, a leader in the United Irish
League regarding the action Of the
League in requesting the Irish party
to abstain from attendance at the
special session of Parliament Decern.
Der 3D.
"The resolution to boycott the Eng
ish parliament in order to attend to
the business Of the national conven-
tion of the United Irish league. our
own national parliament in Dublin, is
undoubtedly new departure.
"It emphasizes the fact that the
Irish question has entered upon q
new phase, in which Ireland has a
sovereign contempt for English ar.
rangements and English opinion.
The dominant note of the new move.
ments is that Ireland has reorganized
her forces and purged the Irish party
Of faction by her own courage and re-
sources, with scarcely any assistance
from abroad.
She means to convince England
now that she intends to complete the
consolidation Of Ireland'S own par
liamentary forces without troubling
herself in the least as to what the
English parliament says or does. The
empty Irish benches at Westminster
will be the best of all reminders to
Englishmen that Ireland occupies the
position OF separate and hostile
country, which, will either have to be
conciliated or conquered all over
again.
