Cuba month before the Chinese

as to how many troops he could spare.
but he was not prepared to say any
thing until he had discussed the ques-

SISTERSVILLE, w Va, July 49,
This morning about 1870 people liv-
ing in the vicinity of Water and
Charles streets were startled by the
report of revolver, and moment
later the inmates of a colored resort
were seen rushing into the street pell
nell, some of them whittier than they
ever will be again. The cause of all
the excitement and CONSERVATION
among the colored people living in
that section was that a couple of the
women, named Carrie Paige and Mol
lie Henderson, had had some words,
during which the Henderson woman
called the other one some vile names.
Biding her time, the Paige woman
finally went to her room. She was
living in the Henderson House, and
getting large Colt revolver of SO cali
bre, came back and took a shot at the
other one. 1t is likely murder would
have been committed, had it not been
for the fact that there was only one
load in the gun. AS it was, the at
tempt was SO close that the burning
powder from the revolver burned the
face OF the Henderson woman very
severely.
Chief of Police John Ritz was i'm
mediately notified of the affair, and he
went down to make the arrest The
Paige girl was locked in her room
when he arrived, but on seeing who it
was Immediately opened the door and
expressed her willingness to go along
She had hid the gun and a search for
it revealed the fact that it had been
carelessly wrapped up in the bed
clothes.
She was taken to the city Jail and
locked up until this afternoon, when
she was taken before Squire Hender-
son. The hearing had been set for II
O'Clock this morning, but for some
reason was postponed and when the
hour for the case to come up arrived
there was very large crowd present
expecting to hear some very racy pro-
ceedings. They were disappointed,
however. From what could be learned
afterward it seems that the defense
and the prosecution got together and
settled the matter in some way before
the court met At any rate, the wit
nesses for the prosecution, who We're
on hand at the time specified, hurried
ly left the court room, and when the
nesses against the woman and she was
discharged.
When the facts in the case leaked out
there was a great deal of indignation
expressed all over the city.

Girls Were Masqueradinx.

Last night officers Williams and
Reedy noticed a couple OF young men
acting very strangely on one of the
principal streets Of the city, and they
started after them with the result that
the youngsters made a run for it, but
were too late. The police caught them
and an examination showed that they
were two young ladies well known in
the city, masquerading in mems clothes
The girls were arrested and taken 10
the city building, but were subsequent
ly released. The best Joke OF the story
developed to-day, however, when II
leaked out that the clothes the girls
wore We're the property Of two very
prominent young men of the city, who
were visiting them, and that the young
men were unable to leave for home I'M
til after the girls returned with their
clothes, which was rather late this
morning. The story is good one and
on account of the young men is Great

THE LAST MESSAGE

From Other Than Chinese Sources
to Come From Pel<in.
CHICAGO, July 1S.--A dispatch to
the Record from Che Foo July 10th,
via Shanghai, July 18th, says:
A communication was received to-
day by the japanese consul from the
japanese minister at Pekln dated June
18th. 1t said that all the ministers were
in the British legation short of food,
hard pressed and unable to hold out
many days.
This is significant, for it is the latest
dispatch from Pekin, aside from those
through Chinese sources since Sir Rob
ert Harris message of June 18th. when
he said guns were trained on the lega-
ton.

CHARTERING STEAMSHIPS

German Government Takes Big At
Iuutic Lines-UncIe Sam in the
Market.
NEW YORK, July 18.-The charter
ing of transports to convey troops to
China is causing much stir in shipping
circles. Private cable advices state
that fifteen German steamers now oper-
ating in the Atlantic trade have been
requisitioned as war transports and sup
ply ships by the German empire. News
is also received in shipping circles
that the United States government is
actively in the market chartering
steamers Of all nationalities on the Pa
cific, to act as transports and supply
ships for this country in connection
with the Chinese outbreak. Inquiry at
the offices of the British lines failed to
discover that any of their tonnage had
been spoken for by the British gov
eminent and agents did not expect to
lose any Of their vessels They argued
that any troops to be called in service
by the British, additional to those al

LONDON, July 1S.-If the news of
a Chinese invasion of Siberia proves
true, it will, of course, immensely COM
plicate the situation from the inter-
national point of view. AS stated in
the Associated Press st. Petersburg
dispatch Of July 18th, the Chinese had
already peremptorily ordered all Rus
SLAMS to quit Manchuria but no one
imagined they would be audacious
enough to break out of their own
country and attack Russian territory.
Such an attack, if it has been made,
OF course constitutes in itself dec
laration of war, rendering formal not
ification needless.
A separate attack by the Chinese on
Russia means giving Russia, accord
ing to the views expressed in Europe,
additional excuse for an isolated de-
scent on Pekin and an additional claim
to assert greater influence than the
other powers and obtain greater COM
pensation when the day of settlement
arrives. Hence extreme uneasiness has
been created in the chancellories by
this latest development.
AS to the latest Chinese assurances
of the safety of the European lega-
lions at ekin,
They are Not Credited Here.
On the contrary, it is believed these
assurances have been dictated by de-
sire to save the native city of Tien
Tsin. The Associated Press CORES
pendent at Shanghai wires, under date
Of July 10th, that there is hardly a
doubt that Sheng, the Chinese admins
traitor of telegraphs, is Withholding in
formation in his possession. The news
OF the massacre as already cabled to
the United States may be taken as cor
rect. The dispatch adds that there is
evidence that the Woo Sung forts, Cat
the mouth Of the Woo-Sung river and
ten miles north of Shanghai are be-
ing strengthened and supplied with
large quantities of ammunition. It is
hoped in London that the landing of
22,000 japanese troops, which it is ex-
pected will be effected to-day and the
arrival of Indian troops will enable the
allies to reinforce Shanghai.

AlARTINSBURG. w. Va, July IS
Grea6 commotion was caused here yes

For half an hour last night the water

near the Big Spring property. three
miles south of this city, and prepared
10 open quarrieS. The water from Rig
Spring sinks into the ground about
half mile from its source and comes
out near this city. The company has
been much bothered with the water
entering the quarries and two pumps
were run day and night to keep the
