THE Republican some months since
criticized one Nicholas Tesla, social
ed scientist and his bombastic prophe-
cies of the wonderful things he would
soon develop in his scientific researches,
as q second edition Of Keeley and his
motor. He was always telling of the
great things he was going to do, but
never was able to point to anything he
had done. Now, the scientists are after
him, and are ventilating him as q frs,
class fraud. One of these scientists In
a recent article in one of the magazines
ridicules a recent article of Tesla's al
follows:
This dazzling contribution to modern
unscientific research reads like nothing
so much as an essay on Christian
Science, 80 profound is it in the am
biguous nothingness whereby it lead
through the intricacies of incoherenc,
unto the climax of absolute asininity

WHY CHINA IS AROUSED.
Former U. S. Minister Angel
Speaks on the Crisis.
Fundamental Differences In Ideas
and Ideals and FOrcible En-.
try of Europeans, the
Causes.

Special Dispatch to Commercial Tribune.
Ann Arbor, Mich, July 13.-Presi-
dent Angel spoke tonight to large
audience, at University Hall, on ''The
Present Crisis in China" His state
ment on the distressing conditions ex-
isting there commanded the greatest
respect from the fact that DR.. Angel
was United States Minister to China a
few years ago, and is considered an
authority on Chinese matters. His
talk tonight dealt largely with the
causes of the present outbreak, which
he summarized briefly as follows:
l. Differences in fundamental ideas
and ideals of life between Asiatics and
the foreigners, or Europeans; China
ideals in the past. Europeans golden
age in the future; Chinese ideas on in
ventiOn and improvement clash with
liefs make q deep chasm between both
peoples, and they have a certain con-
tempt for each other.
2. Particular reasons China has for
hatred of foreigners: Forcible entry
into the country; introduction of tele-
graphs and railroads, which Chinese
believe to be irreligious; missionary
work has stirred up natives; rumors that
powers intend to partition country; re-
action from efforts of Chinese reform
parties.
DR.. Angels then spoke on the
lengths to which the powers will 60,
believing they will certainly insist on
the safe residence of their Ministers in
the Chinese capital, if it is necessary te
wipe out all in power in China to insure
it. An indemnity must be paid. If the
Empress is found to have been in col
lusion, the powers, he said, must clear
out the whole governing rank. The
integrity of China, he believed, ought
certainly to be preserved, and he be
lieved Great Britain, the United States
and possibly one or two others favored
this. In conclusion, DIR. Angel highly
ly complimented Secretary Hay for hi
able conduct of our interests in China.

TRUSTS not only increase prices and
destroy competition hat they cripple
the market--people buy only what they
have to-and they cripple the ability Of
the people to buy. Thus they will bring
stsgnation of trade, throw men out ot
work, cause capital to lie idle, and will
prevent that healthy condition Of affairs
that comes about by healthy competi-
ton between active rivals. Monopolies
are q curse, always have been, and al.
ways will be. Trusts must be wiped
out of existence.

Are Reported to Have Been
Slaughtered.
THE ALLIES
Getting the Better OF the Fight at
i, Tlen Tsln.

The news from Peking for few days
past, has been very sensational. All
reports now agree that the members of
the Legations were all safe on the 9Th
of July. But advices that came
through Chinese sources state that on
the 7th the Legations were vigorously
bombarded and stormed, and all for
eigners massacred.
Details are given stating that the
fighting was fierce, and that the Box
ers were repulsed several times, but
that the foreigners finally ran out OF
ammunition, and were overpowered by
immense numbers.
The details are narrowing. The
Russian minister is said to have been
boiled in oil. Women and children
are said to have been slaughtered after
terrible treatment.
These reports, however, need con
firmstion, though they are generally
credited.
It may be that the Imperialf Govern
ment and foreigners are 4besieged by
the Boxers, and all communication cut
Of, and that all the reports we get are
manufactured by the Boxers, to pre-
vent speedy efforts being made by the
Powers to relieve their legations.
At Tien Tsin, the Allies aae getting
the upper hand. They have repulsed
several attacks, had made several sue
cessful sallies, and are receiving reen
forcements of troops and heavy artil
lery, and will soon be in . position tt
take the offensive.

THE Chinese Government having
shown its ability to communicate with
the outside world, by sending out its
imperial edict, our Government has de-
manded as proof that our minister Is
alive, as declared, by the imperial
edict, that a cipher dispatch be deliver.
ed to him, and reply returned as soor
as possible. This will soon determine
the fate of the foreigners at Pekin, Il
it Is not sooner known.
