ON account Of a wreck down the
road trains have been late on Satur-

engineer of one OF the trains was kill
ed. He had disregarded his orders
and caused the accident
CONTRACTORS and builders have
hopes that after few days they will
pe able to resume work without fear
OF having to shut down for very long
any more this spring. They have
been delayed very much by the wealth
er up to this time but hope that the
worst is now past.
THE students are gathering back

ITs poor man who can't be salts
fed with the war news nowadays
when both sides are licking each 9TH

however is the truth about the mat

tensively on account OF the censor

EVERY one should be careful of
their fires in such weather as we
have just been having. The gas
sometimes comes on stronger after
the fires have been turned on full
blast and then there is danger Of
getting every thing on fire before
the danger is discovered. Several
fires were narrowly averted on sum
day night.

Lucky Accident.

While removing a barge load of
machinery from number ten day or
so ago one of the luckiest escapes on
record was scored. The barge broke
loose and started down the river at a
high rate Of speed on account Of the
stage of water. When found it had
been caught by tree which stood out
in the river. A piece Of wire cable
caught on the tree and rounded up
the barge. Had it gone on it would
have run over number nine and been
total loss. Mr.. Mcdonald feels
good over the way that the incident
closed.

VOTE ON QUAY CASE.
Believed 1t VIII BE Reached This Week
Other Matters to BE Con-
sidered.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The time OF
the senate during the present week will
be divided between the questions OF
TIE finances, the government policy to-
ward the insular possessions and the
seating of Senator Quay upon the nomi.
nation Of the governor of Pennsylvania.
The Hawaiian bill remains the unfin-
ished business, subject to removal at any
time by the Quay resolution and also by
the conference report upon the currency
bill
Senator Aldrich has given notice that
he will make speech in explanation OF
the currency bill agreement on Wednes-
day and that he will call it up the next
day Thursday and then ask final action
upon it. The request Of course will
lead to spirited contest, to many sharp
speeches and to the final adoption Of the
report by practically the same vote by
which the bill originally passed the SEN
ate.
The matter may be before the senate
for several days.
There will be several speeches during
the week on the Quay resolution and
there is probability of reaching vote
Oil III tile lttttI part VI buG WSth. tocufb-
tor Chandler probably will speak for
Mr.. Quay today and Senator Turley in
opposition. Later in the week Senators
Hoar and Penrose will talk for Mr..
Quay and Senator Burrows in opposi-
ton After these only short speeches
will be heard. Senator Penrose says he
will make an effort to have the discus
sion confined to the morning hour so as
not to interfere with other questions be-
fore the senate, but that if a disposition
to delay the vote should become appar-
ent he will then press the Quay matter.
He counts upon vote late in the week
and says he expects larger vote than
was cast in Mr.. Quay's favor in taking
the resolution up.
When the Hawaiian bill is voted upon
the Porto Ricon viii be taken up. Sena-
tor Depew probably tomorrow will
speak on the problems connected with
the Philippine islands.

Do NOT TRUST L
PEACE HE MAY WISH TO MAKE
IS OPEN TO sUsPICIoN-Is
ANTI-FOREIGN.

New York, August 11.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London SAYS:
The appointment of Ii Hung Chang as
une CMnese plenipotentiary for the me-
gotiation of terms of peace has been re-
ceived With various feelings here. Those
who know the far east have deep distrnst
or the old vicerOy, and they insist that
his nomina tion can bode no good to this
country. If not hostile to all foreigners.
he is at any rate determined opponent
OF the British, whom he has always dis
liked, understanding his personal rela-
tions with General Gordon and other
men.
On the other hand, some Chinese ex-
perts contend that the appointment
shows that the Manchu government
realizing that the powers are in earnest
relies on Earl Ii Hung Chang to arrange
terms and to patch up an accommoda-
tion as ne did after the Ten Tsin mas
sacre in 1870.
The latest batch of cipher messages
received from the ministers at Pekin is
! considered to be significant and in some
degree reassuring. There are determined
skeptcs and croakers, such as those who

but it will procrastinate and prevardcate

I maintain its hold ON the diplomats while
! there seems a remote prospect of using

terms of settlement. Whether the gov

500 foreigners, including women and chill

and the military rabble to a point no one
can determine. Influential men Of the

WINGED that the whole anti-foreign moye-
ment has been deliberately constructed
in the imperial palace, which is still ca

short of $1,000, but without much larger

WANTS BIG ARMY
WHEELER BELIEVES 1T IS THE
SAFEGUARD OF PEACE-LEC-
TURE AT CHICAGO. /.

Chicago, Aug. 1l.-General Joseph
Wheeler made a strong plea for the
standing army in his convocation address
at the University of Chicago He declared
that the most certain way to avoid the
desolation and the horrors Of war was to
be constantly ready with men and arms
for every emergency; that the only secur-
ity for peace was to be always prepared
and ready to engage in war. At the close
Of the address General Wheeler was
cheered by the students, many of whom
are from the Southern states, and when
the university band struck up the tune
of Dixie" the enthusiasm rose to high
pitch.
General Wheeler's topic was "Our Pa
cific Possessions He said in part:
1--WE are now a great world power and
the destiny of the human race is in the
future to be largely guided by our inf1u-
ence exerted by this government. This

ENDURANCE is A MARVEL.
Legations Still Hold Out Against Gov
ernment Troops.

washington, August 1.-THE following
dispatch communicating an additional
message from Conger was made public
this morning by the state department.:
Canton, August 11.-Secretary OF
State, Washington: Conger, date August
10, Tsinan, answering my message. says
that the legations are under siege by the
imperial soldiery. The situation Is des-
perate. The loss of the legations is sixty
killed and about 100 wounded. There is
health continues good. He concludes:
Whatever may be the outcome we will
hold on indefinitely
(signed) INVADE"
It is believed that the date assigned
this dispatch by the consul refers to the
file date when the message left Tsinan
and does NOT fix the time when it left
Pekin by courier
While the state department does not
attempt to fix a date upon which the
Conger message left Pekin the officials
are inclined to believe that it was one
of the messages smuggled out of Pekin
before the imperial edict was ISSUED re-
moving the restriction upon THE trans.
mission of cipher messages. The date o1
THE edict was August 5. There is little
new in the message beyond the ominou:
restoration of Mr.. Conger's statement
THAT tine condition was desperate. The
concluding sentence of Mr.. COnger's mes
sage saying that the legationers are pre-
pared to hold on indefinitely no matter
what the outcome may be, Is considered
