1.-THE people OF Portsmouth are the
most forbearing set of people of any
people on earth" were the remarks
heard by the scribe yesterday as he
made his daily rounds. They referred
to the fact OF the city being in total
darkness and the water being cut off
from the city from 6:3O p. m. to $3.50
a. m. Just think" said they, "of n
city that depends entirely upon the
water company for water, being nearly
~ hours without water, and simply be-
cause main pipe had hurst. There
is always sufficient water in the res
ervoir and stand pipe for five or six
days! Then why should the water be
cut off? Suppose that a-fire should
have occurred during that time. what
would the company do? And to-day
numbers of people are suffering from
BURST pipes, ETC.. on that account"

SHE MEANT MISCHIEF.
Mary Henderson Hurts Lighted Lamp
At D. p. Carriers Head.

= Is
D.. p. Carter, colored, presented a
woebegone appearance yesterday morn
Ing as he SAT- in the office OF the
county jail awaiting the arrival of Jus
tice c. G. Peed to hear the charge of
assault and battery, which he had pre-
ferred against Mary Henderson.
Carter had a deep cut over his left
eye. and another incision on the left
side of his head, which he said the wo-
man Henderson had inflicted by hurting
against his Uranium n heavy glass lamp
filled with oil, and lighted.
The man said the woman lived in the
same house with him, at No. 1918 Lon
don street. and came in Monday night
all sails set" and heavily "loaded,"
and without the least proyocation
treated him as above stated.
Fie swore out a warrant YESTERDAY
morning against her, and when the Of
hcer arrived to serve 1t she gave Carter
an uppercut, that left an ugly-looking
cut on his lower lip.
Justice Peed heard the case. and ono
being as deep in the mud as the other
was in the mire, he sent them both to
jail for period OF 60 days.

A Tremendous Crush at the Railway

Kansas City, July 2.-Between five

Berlin. July From well authenti-
Gated sources, a representative Of the
Associated Press is able to state that
today, after a detailed statement by
Count Won Buelow. the secretary of
state for foreign affairs. regarding the
Chinese situation, Emperor William
made up his mind to insist upon full
satisfaction for the death of Baron Won
Ketteler, for which purpose he has re-
solved to send altogether armed forces
approximately as large as those of 9TH
er powers chiefly interested in restor-
ing order in China. The precise size
Of the forces has not yet been deter
mined, but it is expected they will
amount to a score of thousands.
A considerable portion of the Ger
man fleet will be sent also. This is evil
denced by orders issued tonight to pre-
pare five new ~battleships for sailing.
1t is understood Prince Henry of Prus-
STA requested the emperor to give him
command Of this division, but it is
doubtful if his majesty will agree to
this. The emperor and Count Won Bue-
low are fully aware of the constitution
al difficulties which will render difficult
the dispatching Of so large a contin-
gent, but both are agreed it must be
done. In this they are supported by
the singularly unanimous attitude Of
the German press. Tonight a number
of leading papers are seriously discuss
ing means for, fulfilling the nations
wish to make the reprisal against Chi
ma correspendingly severe with the out
RACES.
At the foreign office tonight the sit
uation for Germany is described as
most difficult, especially since the latest
news shows serious trouble impending
in Shan Tung. The Chinese legation
here is still smillngly SNUG. Minister
Lu Hal Hount told u representative OF
the Associated Press he was extremely
sorry for the bloody events at Picking
but felt sure the dowager empress was
guiltless. From an interesting chat
with him a point which seems worthy
of recording is that the minister took
it for granted the powers will subdue
the revolt in China and then arrange a
new government.

Admiral Kempff Wires That a Runner
From Picking Reports That the L.
cations are Besieged, Provisions
Nearly Exhausted and Situation
Experimentation Telegram.

Washington, July Gable advices
from Admiral Kempff this morning full
ly confirm the peryious report
Of the murder of Won Ketteler, the
German minister at Picking. The ad-
miral also represents the situation of
the ministers as most desperate. The
shortage of their food supplies report
ed by Admiral Kempff gives rise to the
gravest apprehension. Having been
taken to Taku by runner, the dispatch
represented the minister's condition at
least five days ago, and there is reason
to fear that the worst has happened
in the interim.
Admiral Kempff's favorable report Of
the condition of the Oregon is believ-
ed by Secretary Long to be based on
the report of the commander of the
japanese vessel which generously Of
fered assistance.
No further reinforcements have been
ordered to China, military or naval.
The word duty in Admiral kcmpff's
dispatch is taken to mean Dutch in
reference to that legation.

THE allies have entered Pekin
without fighting, the legations are re.
lieved and the foreigners are liber-
ated.n
The foregoing, received from the
German consul at Shanghai, was
given out by the Berlin foreign office
at p. IN. Friday.
4 special dispatch from Shanghai
says THE allies entered P4kin Aug.
-. 1t is believed that Yuan-Shi Kai's
troops have gone thence to Shen-Si
to protect the empress, who, accord
ing to reports by local officials in
London, with Tuan, the imperial
household and the bulk of the army
and Boxers, left Pekin August for
Hsian-Fu.n
Lii Hung Chang has received tele-
graphic dispatch announcing that
the allied forces entered Pekin on
Wednesday, August 10, without op-
position.
The collapse of Chinese resistance
isexplained in dispatches from Shang-
hal as being due to the failure of the
Chinese to flood the country below
Tung Chow. The earthworks con-
nected with the dam at the Pei-Ho
were unfinished and the canal at
Tuug- Chow was full of water, facili-
tating boat transport when the allies
arrived there.
Signals between the allies and the
legationers holding part of the wall
at Pekin were exchanged during the
morning of August Is.

West Virginia Politics,

Special to the Baltimore sun.
DEER PARK, Md, Aug. 21.-Deer
Park seems to be just now the center
of political interest as indicating the
hot contest which is to follow later in
the West Virginia campaign. Col.
Thomas b. Davis, the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Second
district, spent Sunday last with Hon.
John Il. McGraw at his home and re-
turned to Keyser yesterday. This
evening, quickly following the visit
of Colonel Davis and the conference
I had between him, Mr.. McGraw and
other West Virginia Democrats,
Senator Stephen b. Elkins turned up
at the hotel with Congressman A. G..
Dayton. Gossip says the purpose of
the visit is to secure the cooperation
and support of President Cowen, of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, for Dayton against Dayis,
and in Elkins' own interest as can
didate for reelection to the United
States Senate against Col. John T..
McGraw, the Democratic candidate.
1t is asserted the Senator tried to i'm
press President Cowen that the in
terests of his railroad would be best
subserved by his own reelection and
that of Dayton over Davis.
Colonel Davis was seen and express
ed confidence in his election. He
showed some little feeling at Senator
Elkins because the latter should have
attempted to force him, because of
family and business relations, to de-
cline the nomination which the Dem
ocrats of the district had unanimous
ly rendered him.
Colonel McGraw said the prime
purpose of every West Virginia Dem
ocrat is to carry the State for Bryan,
elect Holt Governor and Colonel
Davis and the other Democratic
nominees to Congress, and that they
will settle the Senatorship in their
own way at the proper time, while
the apparent effort of Senator Elkins
is to reflect himself to the Senate and
make President Mckinley and all
other candidates subordinate to his
selfish desires.
Congressman Dayton left this
morning, but the Senator remained
in order to give a few extra touches
to his own candidacy.
Colonel Davis expects to perfect the
complete organization of the Congress
sional committe tomorrow and to
make q most earnest and vigorous
campaign.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH THE SUN ?
Have the Spots on 1t Caused the Torrd
COnVulSOn?
COnVulSiOn q?

The Baltimore Sun just after the
Kansas City convention had
adopted the Bryan platform:
Mr.. Bryan was not only deaf to
reason, but he was self-assertive
to a point closely approaching the
tone of the average boss in poll
tics. He allowed it to be under
stood that silver must go in the
platform in separate declaration,
that he would not swerve hairs
breath from his position and that
unless the platform was made as
he directed he would not accept
the nomination. While such a
spirit may commend itself to Mr..
Bryan's adherents in the far West,
it is resented by many Democrats
in the East who voted for him in
1896. Bossism is not liked in this
section in a national leader any
more than it is tolerated in State
and city bosses. The voters of the
East cannot contemplate with ap-
proval any attempt to coerce them,
and Mr.. Bryan will be lucky if he
losses no votes by the autocratic
attitude which he has assumed in
regard to the silver plank of the
Kansas City platform. AS Ex-
Senator Hill very aptly observed:
Just as l am opposed to imperial
ism in nation so am opposed to
it in an individual, This is i'm
perialism of the worst type Mr..
Bryan would do well to reflect
upon Mr.. Hills remark. 1t en-
bodies the views of no inconsider-
able number of Democrats in the
East who are not disposed to swap
King Log for King Stork.

A fierce-looking man, with heavy
black mustache, red shirt, huge slouch
hat, an inveterate tobacco-chewer
and smoker, addicted to profanity,
begrimmed with coal dust, rude and
uneducated and devoting the best of
his time to the agitation of strikes
this is the coal miner, as pictured by
the majority of persons who do not
know him. Perhaps the above may
be description of the miners in some
parts. but not in Maryland. Mary
land miners are sober and industrious.
They are mainly from sturdy Scotch
and Irish stock, with some Welsh
among them. They do not wear any
distinctive garb, but usually dark
shirt and trousers, with boots and
slouch hat, not sombrero. The
traveller through Western Maryland,
if he selects about four or five O'Clock
in the afternoon for his trip, will see
groups of men at the stations or wend-
ing their way home from the mines.
They present very forbidding ap-
pearence, as they mine soft coal, and
are black from head to foot. Besides
the clothes mentioned, each miner
will have a little lamp attached to
his hat. The only part of their fea-
lures visible and not coal-begrimmed
are the eyes and lips, and when one
of them laughs it is curious to note
the effect of the white teeth in the
black face.
Follow one of these men home and
you will find neat house, well fur
nished, plenty of good pictures, usu-
ally a piano or organ, and his wife
and children, if he is married, well
dressed. You will notice that he has
plenty of literature. Talk with him
and you will find that he can con-
verse on great many subjects, for
the Maryland miner is a reader of
good books.
The first thing that our miner does
after arriving home is to bathe and
change his clothes. And then you
will see him transformed from a
grimy black man into a neatly dress
ed, intelligent-looking citizen. The
average miner can mine from three
to five tons of soft coal a day and
make good living. The majority
of them have their little plots, where
they raise their own vegetables, and
some have their own COWS. 1t is a
usual thing for those at a distance of
four or nve miles from the mines to
have their own horse on which to
ride home.
The work of miner is very ardu-
Gus, as very often he is in kneeling
posture, digging sideways, but the
men soon become used to it, and are
nearly all sturdy, healthy-looking
men. They go to work about seven
O'Clock in the morning and work un-
til four or five o'clock in the after
noon.

Aguinaldo's guerillas support his can
didate in this country? Will a coun-
try which has sacrificed thousands of
lives and hundreds of millions of dol
lars to maintain the authority of the
United States elevate to the office of
the president the candidate of a league
which is exerting all its energies to
tear down the flag?
1.-The promise of Mr.. Bryan, if cleo
ed president, to exert all the power
of that great Office to secure the in
dependence of the Tagals and rob the
United States of all we possess in the
Orient was not enough. Mr.. Bryan
promised them more than the Tagals
themselves had the audacity to ask.
The Anti-Imperial League cannot eX-
cuse it's crimes against the United
States by contendIng that the United
States is wrong and that the rebels
are right. Citizens of the United
States who assist the enemy when
war exists are guilty of treason, and
cannot plead in their defense or in
the extenuation of their crimes what
they imagine to be the wrongs of the
government in waging war. The
crime of treason is complete when
aid or comfort is extended to the
enemy. There can be no doubt that
the Anti-Imperial League is unpa-
triotic, anti-American and engaged
in criminal conspiracy against the
United States. When Mr.. Bryan
affiliated with that league and
secured its support he betrayed his
American followers and became the
candidate of the enemies of the
United States both at home and
abroad. To his inordinate ambition
and unparalleled efforts to become
president must be attributed his
biased judgment and unbalanced
mind. He will not be president
