American Cavalry.
London, Aug. 27.-Five hundred
American troops participated in the
signal defeat Of Boxers outside Tien-
I n on Aug. 10. Additional details of
the engagement, which has already
been reported come from a Reuter-
agent at Tientsin in a dispatch dated
Aug. 20. In addition to the Americans
the force consisted of 375 British and
200 Japanese, all under the British
general, Dorward.
The fight took place at village six
miles southwest of Tientsin, where the
allied forces found considerable
number of Boxers, whom they en-
gagged, killing over 300 and taking GA
wounded prisoners, who were sent to
the hospitals of the allies.
The Americans had five wounded. the
Japanese six, and the British none.
Hundreds of Boxers flags, spears, and
swords were captured.

ing savages who practically make no
use of the soil and other resources
availa ble-there is no rational objec-
ton.
To the conquest of countries already
densely populated. where there is no
room for genuine American colonial
tion-to the ~subjugation of millions of
people and their government as sub
jects upon the assumption that they
are not capable of governing them
selves-there is great objection.
That sort of thing unquestionably is
"~disruptive not only of our national in
tegrity an morals, but also of our ma
tional peace, prosperity and perpe-
tuity."
As to the trust issue there can be NJ
mistake. The republican party is re
sponsible for the Dingley tariff, in the
absence of which nine-tenths of the
trusts would be harmless.
The trusts recognize the republican
party as their party. They go TO it for
such legislation. including the Porto
Rican law, as will help fatten their
bank accounts. They multiply and
wax defiant of law when that party is
in power.
These notorious facts point unmis-
takably to the only party from which
relief from trust eNtortion is to be ex-
uected.-Chicago Chronicle.

SAID NOT A WORD.
Mckinley Made No AIIusion to Trusts
in His Speech of Ac-
ceptance.

Mr.. McKinley's speech at Canton, &C
cepting the republican nomination fol
president. and announced in advance
by Congressman Grosvenor, the presi.
dents mouthpiece. as 1.-The real repub.
lican platform of 1900," contained not
one wore concerning the trusts.
This is at least logical on the part
of the president, disappointing though
it be to the American people suffer
ing so grievously from trust monopoly
and legislation for the further en-
richment of the trusts at their ex-
pense. The president could not de-
fend the trust evil. Defense of that
evil is not possible to the cunningest
special pleader. The evil stands con-
demned on its own showing.
And ~assuredly the president could
not, in his helpless vassalage TO the
trusts, denounce them. They own him
and dictate his policy through Mark
Hanna. their accredited instrument.
They elected him to the presidency in
1896 They are contributing the slush
fund to be used in his campaign for
this year. They look to him
for the extension of their power and
the Strengthening of their greedy
grasp on the commerce and industries
of the country. He is pledged to their
service, body and soul.
Therefore the president of the Unit
ed States did not dare, in accepting a
denomination to the high office which
he now holds, to say one wore about
the trusts. He stands before the
American people dumb on this great
issue. It is his duty to defend the
from the monopoly greed of the
He dare not. He is mute and,
of his own consent. impotent. It is
for the American people to pass judg-
mentu pon such a servant of the peo

No Business Scare.

The managers of Mr.. Mckiniey's can
vass for a second term apparently are
planning "a business scare" as the
most convenient means to the end
which they have in view. For the pur-
pose of forcing large contributions to
the campaign fund in the first instance
and of stampeding the voters ultimate
iy they seem to be striving to excite
the public mind anew on the silver
question. There is manifest a DISPOSE
ton among them to divert political
discussion from the concrete problems
of the hour to what is at present an
idle and untimely abstraction. In
other words they are doing their ut
most to make the country believe that
the free coinage of silver is involved
in the result of the election in Novem-
Der, and are employing premises and
conclusions which are equally fcti-
ticus.-Boston Globe.

Georgetown. Ky, Aug. 1.-THE de-
Tense in the case of Caleb Powers, ex-

ing accessory before the fact in the
GGebel assassination, rested the testi-
mony for that side at two o'clock yes
terday afternoon.
The prosecution introduced several
witnesses in rebuttal. and expect II
conclude to-day, but this is not GER
tain. The jury will be taken TO Frank
fort either Monday or Tuesday to view
the scene of the tragedy.
The jury, when it comes to consid-
ering the evidence, will not have to de-
eide the question of which side has
dealt iii perjury, but which side has
been burdened with the largest
o of that product, it being con-
ceded that perjury has been INDUCED
in in large quantities by somebody for
tile last few days, during which con-
tradiction and impeachment was the
leading feature, and which will possi-
bly, leep up until the close of the trial.
EX-Gov. Brown, the leading counsel
for the defense, said last night that in
his opinion the state had utterly failed
to make out a ease against Powers,
and that the jury would be compelled
to bring in a verdict of acquittal.
There IRE few who believe the trial will
result in a conviction, but q majority
of people anticipate a hung jury. The
lawyers for the defense insist that
they expect a verdict of acquittal, hut
do not anticipate the iury's verdict by
giving out such a statement.
