SERIOUS TROUBLES AHEAD.
Narrow Escape From n Collision Be-
tween French and British Repre-
aentatiVes

tween French and British Repre-
sentatives.
LONDON, June Is, 1920 a. NJ
Observers at Shanghai and Tien Tsin
think there is great deal more trou-
BILE ahead for the concert of powers
than merely reaching Pekin with 2.O44
men. Serious disturbances are taking
place at Yun-Nan-Fu and Meng-Tze as
well as at other points at a consider
able distance from the capital.
The whole Chinese empire seems to
be in a ferment
The intentions of the Empress Dow
ager are still equivocal with a bal
ance of testimony on the side of a de-
termination to expel the appropriations
OF part of her country or to lose her
dynasty in the attempt 1t is related
OF her that on Monday following the
murder of the chancellor of the Jap
anese legation she was reused to a
sense of danger and went personally
to Yung Ting gate of Pekin, where
she advised the rioters to disperse.
But she took no steps to apply force
and the appearance of things is more
threatening than before.
While Admiral Seymour, with the
international relief column, is forcing
his way to Pekin, several of the pow
ers are arranging largely to reinforce
their details at Tein Tsin. Germany
purposes sending 1900 men. Great
Britain sent 500 from Hong Kong yes
terday and 400 will go Sunday. Italy
has ordered 1000 to hold themselves
in readiness. Russia, according to
st. Petersburg dispatch of Wednes-
day, has decided to bring her force
at Tien Tsin up to 5000. Thus the
Combined Forces mt Tien Tsin
will probably soon be about 10000
men.
The explicit statement made yester-
fday afternoon in the House of Com
Vmons by the parliamentary secretary of
the foreign Office, Mr. Broderick, with
reference to the identity of opinion
among the powers upon the question
of the application OF force and the
method of applying it, is accepted by
all the morning papers as quite suffi-
cient for the present an the hope is
generally espresso that nothing will
happen to diminish the harmony.
An incident, however, has already oc-
CURED involving the British and
French at Tien Tsin. which nearly end
ed in violence. A despatch from Tien
Tsin, dated yesterday says:
For some days the French and Rus
sian authorities here have been jeal-.
Gus because of the supposed facilities
given to the British authorities by the
British employees Of the China railways.
Yesterday "wednesday some French
inarires attempted to
Take Charge of an Engine
required at the front. Locomotive In
spector Weir refused to give up the
engine ami Frenchman attempted to
Dayonet him. Weir caught the mug

over his shoulder. For a moment seri-
Gus trouble between the British and
French was imminent, but the prompt
action OF the British consular and
naval officers, backed by the American
consul and the railway officials, pre-
vented collision. Conciliatory ex-
pressions were exchanged. The French
consul withdrew his opposition and the
British remained in charge of the en-
CINE as before

REGIMENT FROM JAPAN.

YOKOHAMA, June 14.-Japan is
about to send a mixed regiment to
China The government press declares
that Japan alone could suppress the
revolt, but she must first win the conf
dence of the powers and avoid acts
likely to awaken suspicion.

Commandant General Louis Botha
should have been able to stand for two
days against Lord Roberts and then to
retreat without losing any guns or hav-
ing any of his men captured, is taken
to mean that he has force which the
British must still reckon as formidable
when acting defensively.
The paciication of the whole of the
Transyaal, especially the wide spaces
far from the railways is looked upon
as business requiring months rather
than weeks. Meanwhile everything
goes well for the British arms.
A Boer bulletin issued June IL at
Machadorp said:
Both wings of the Federal forces
touched the advancing enemy at 10 a.
m. yesterday, east of Pretoria. Fight
ing continued until dark. The enemy
though in overwhelming numbers were
checked along line of sc miles, and
the burghers succeeded in driving back
their right wing five miles. TIVE
Burghers were killed and ten wound
ed"
Another Machadodorp announcement
is that the first regiment of Gen. Bull
er's force to attack Almonds Mex was
"annihilated; but, as the British were
in overwhelming force the Burghers
were compelled to abandon the Mex.
A dispatch from Lourenzo Marques,
dated yesterday says:
President Kruger is holding onto
his gold and issuing paper notes from
a press in his executive car. The Boer
governments coin stock is exhausted
and the officials are now paying out
plain gold disks unstamped Some who
have declined TO accept notes have
taken their salaries in gold bars. The
Boer government is still paying out
much gold in that way
Gen. Butler will be unable to advance
further until he gets supplies. He will
probably wait until the tunnel has been
cleared. Nearly every farm house his
troops passed few a white flag. The
British took nothing without paying
for It, and a brisk business was done
in milk, eggs, bread and chickens by
thrifty housewives who were pleased
to get SO much English money. One
woman whose husband and two sons
have been fighting, said:
You British are unlike our people.
They took my horses in exchange for
sheep and mealies and made me make
butter, which they never paid for. l
am sending TO have my men come
home at once"
Usually the first question a Boer wo-
man puts is: sWill my husband be
shot if he is captured?" One young
man was pulled from under bed and
he went on his knees begging the Brit
ish patrol not TO shoot him.
Gen. Rumble had a sharp skirmish
at Ficksburg on June 1.-THE Beers
lad been aggressive along the whole
FIcksburg-Sonekal line and menaced
Ficksburg in force. The British out
posts retired to the village. Gen. Run
die had the attention of the Beers in
front with two guns, while the yeo-
manry were sent round to their rear
and drove them of, with loss to tho
British OF three wounded. Two patrols
were also wounded.

presence there is supposed TO account

A SEVERE STORM
by Electrical Distur-
Dances Yesterday Afternoon.

|
Dances Yesterday Afternoon.
This city and vicinity was visited
late yesterday afternoon by a severe
rain storm, accompanied by electrical
disturbances and high wind. The
most serious result, so far as could be
learned was the damage to the Cathe-
dral spire. The stroke of lightning
was accompanied by a report which
took people for several blocks to their
doors and windows. The damage TO
the spire was considerable. The slate
on section of the north side was torn
loose and the wood work splintered,
while many persons thought the ball
under the cross was inclined 10 one
side after the stroke.
AS result of the storm electric
light and telephone wires, trees and
roofs wre considerably damaged in
various places on the South Side. Parts
of the roofs of the LaBelle pottery, the
Peter MUM property. on South Eof
street, and the Jerico property, on
South Jacob street, occupied by Char
les Bryson and family, were torn
away. The large ventllating cap on
the old Riverside nail factory and the
covering over the big tanbark stacks
at the Hoffman tannery were also dam
aged. Two one-story frame residences
near the Schmulbach brewery were
flooded by the water flowing from the
hillside, and the families were COM
PEELED to remove their household goods
TO other places.

Clara, the charming little daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Heller, was
hostess last evening to quite a number
of her Juvenile friends at her home on
Seventeenth street in honor OF her
birthday. The hours were delightfully."-
whiled in various diversions of a
social nature and delicious refresh
ments were served. The decorations
were in pink and white and pleasing
instrumental music was furnished for
the occasion. Among cne guests pres
ent were Fred Brand, Wesley Frazier,
Alex Bone, Nelson Rogers, Ross Pry-
sock, Peter Erb, Frank Truax, James

good run, but received no time, as
when Judge Seas picked up the nozzle
it dropped of.
The Independents of Salem were Or
dered to run, and be quick about it, as
the storm was fast approaching. The
team was quick and sped over the line
them and Toronto.
Coshocton was dissatisfied with their
bad luck and made kick, but the
judges were willing to make all fair.
and ordered the dead heat to be run
of, and that Coshocton and the unfor-
tunate Deluge team of Salem, to
run hub to hub race, but at this time
the sky was filled with black clouds
and a number started for their homes,
but the great bulk OF the crowd stayed,
and before they realized it the rain was
pouring down the most severe storm of
the summer was upon the crowd. All
who could sought shelter under the
merry go-round tent, but this would
not hold half of them, and others
sought shelter where they could, but a
large number received a severe wet
ting, and the crowd presented pitiful
appearance as they left the grounds.
The brilliant tournament was at an
end and the other races called off. The
tie heat was easily settled by dividing
the money and a satisfactory arrange
ment of the distribution of the balance
of the money for second and third
places was easily arranged. The Del
uge company was given $50 for a con-
ISOLATION prize, and as everybody SEEM
ed in good humor, the visitors proceed
ed to take the town, and last night
they were marching over the city and
having good time. A dance was
given at the grounds for the visitors,
and was largely attended. All of the
firemen will leave to-day. after having
attended most successful tourna-
ment, in which Martins Ferry firemen
and citizens deserve much credit, as
tits management was splendid" The
convention failed to name the next
place for holding tournament, but ii
is understood Coshocton would like to
have it.
The starters for the bicycle road race
were Thomas Williams, Harry Chersel
and DR.. ]. G. Pfrr. The time-keepers
were Jason Stamp,of Wheeling; Chas.
Williams. The judges We're Chas.

Manufacturers want cheap rates on

The ordinance guarantees equal or low

they might otherwise. In this view OF
the case, think the majority of wage
earners will support the ordinance, for
1t is TO their advantage. The citizens
who pay the largest share of the taxes
are not complaining, because they
