attack the wall. The American marines
had tle extreme left Of the line, the Ninth
Regiment the right while the japanese
and French advanced in the centre along
the road, the artillery covering them.
The movement developed terrific fire
from the walls and villages. The allies
were obliged to remain on open ground.
They were unable to breach the wall be
cause it was impossible for them to cross
a deep canal there. During the engage

killed, and Lieutenant Butler wounded.
Colonel Liscum was mortaly wounded.
Lieutenant Butler. Major Reagan. Captains
Bookmller and Noyes, and Lieutenants

the British marines, and two Japanese Off

POLITICAL POINTERS.

John e. Lower, prominent Adams
county Republican politician, formerly
presidential elector and now a mem
ber of the Republican state committee,
has affirmed his position as being in favor
of William Jennings Bryan. He said:
II announced myself some time ago as
intending to vote for Mr.. Bryan, and |
stick to what l then said" Mr.. Lower
bases his change of opinion largely on
the present commercial situation, and
cites innumerable cases to sustain his
views, which are antagonistic to trusts
Mr.. Lower has been for years one OF the
most prominent Republicans in his sec
tion, and has been formerly firm sup
porter OF Mckinley. for whom he voted
when national delegate.
The fight between the Garman and
Lenahan factions of the Democrats of
the Third legislative district was won
on Monday by the Garman forces, who
renominated George w. Gruver, for the
legislature. The victory was "a decisive

invited to occupy the same position at

Nineteen Democratic members of the

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-05-31

The Italian government has purchas-
ed 900, 900 tons of bituminous coal from
United States Senators Elkins and
Davis, of West Virginia, both of whom
have extensive mining interests in their
states. The coal is sent by rail from
West Virginia to Newport News, where
1t is loaded on chartered vessels, which
are carrying it to Italian ports.
As showing the scarcity of coal on the
other side it is significant that the
Italian agent while in this country tried
TO arrange for the purchase of Ameri-
can coal lands with the proposition that
his government send men here to mine
the coal The plan went so far that
tract of coal land was picked out and n
price set upon it, but several obstacles
arose, chief among them the contract
labor law.
The fact the Italian government
wanted to buy coal lands is considered
as proof that the export of American
coal is likely to continue. Italy former
received her principal coal supply from
England, France and Belgium. In all
those countries the supply is behind the
demand, owing to the fact that no new
coal territory is in sight, and the old is
being rapidly worked out.

Why So Many Young Men Fail.

Zone trouble with many young men
who start out in business is they try to
do too many things at once" says Hetty
Green, 1.-The Richest Woman in Ameri-
ca" in the June Ladies' Home Jounal
The result is that they don't know as
much as they ought to about any one
thing, and they naturally fail. The
trouble with young men who work on
salaries is that they're always afraid
of doing more than they're paid for.
They don't enter into their work with
the right spirit. To get on and be ap-
preciated young man must do more
than he's paid TO do. When he does
something that his employer has not
thought of he shows that he is valuable.
Men are always willing to pay good
salaries to people who will think of
things for them. The man who only
carries out the thoughts and ideas of
another is nothing more than a mere
tool. Men who can be relied upon are
always in demand. The scarcest thing
in the world today is a thoroughly re-
liable man.
