SENATOR ELKINs, OF West Vir-
ginia, in and interview says: II
think the Presidents decision not to
call an extra session of Congress, is
a wise one. An extra session would
almost be equivalent to a declara-
tion of war, and I am opposed to
war;" "Suppose it should turn
out that our Minister and other
foreigners at Pekin have been killed,
would that so alter the situation as
to create the necessity for an extra
session." he was asked. 81 think
not" he replied. "If they have
been massacred by "a rebellious mob,
that does not constitute reason for
making war on the Government of
China. The attitude of the Chinese
Government, according to all the
statements of Its representatives, is
correct. 1t disclaims participation
in the boxer uprising and is doing
all In it's power to suppress the dis.
order"

SERIOUS TROUBLE IN CHINA.

The situation In China is serious
one. The officials at Washington,
more interested in their game of pol
itics than they are In the lives OF
American subjects In China, blandly
state that mo state of war exists,
and therefore Congressional action
is not needed but In the same breath
they call for troops and funds; as If
Mr.. Mckinley had the right to send
all the American troops and exhaust
the treasury fighting China, without
Congressional interference or con-
sent. Not content with waging an
interminable war with the Filipinos,
Messrs. Hanna and Mckinley it
seems are determined to handle
China according to their own sweet
will and for the supposed advance
ment of their political interests.
Poor ignorant, superstitious,
crowded China! Another victim to
mans cupidity! Because they will
not bow down and worship at a
shrine where their faith does not lead
them; because they cannot wake
from the lethargy of their drugs
and reach out quickly after civil.
cation they cannot comprehend ;
because theyfebel against the lordly
right of eminent domain being given
to railroads to level their homes
and pillow up their grave wards; be
cause they revolt at the cou.
fiscation of their natural, inallen
able, inherited rights, by foreign mis-
sionaries, corporations, potentates
3 and powers-they are to be pounceo
upon by all the powers OF so-called
Christian countries and rent In
twain, dismembered, and parcellec
out for blood money.
The HERALD does not believe
there Ia grain OF justice in 1t
What IL we have universities anl
colleges and church property there
shall we reckon the value OF human
life according to our investments
What IL we have missionaries ant
native Christians there; would no
the white flag of truce reach then
quicker than the sword of revenge
Wouldn't their lives be safer undo
an attempt to remove, rather than t
reach and defend themY And is tn
world to.be reclaimed by the sword
May we hope to save from punish
ment in the future the heather of to
day by shooting his body full of bul
let's and sending his soul unshriven
with his Sins thick upon him, be
fore his Maker?
Under the cold letter of the la,
governing the treaty between thi
nation and that, the government
may be justified In doing whateve
may be done. But to force our civ
liZation and religion upon anothe
country at the point of the bayone
teaches civilization more cru,
than superstition, and promulgat,
a religion that burnt itself out a
hundred years ago.

KILLING HILL WITH KINDNESS

Richard Croker lost character,
caste and friends about as fast at the
Kansas City convention as David
Bennett Hill m ade them; and there
seems to be a general disposition
upon the part of the press-Demo-
cratic, Republican and Independ-
ent--to poke sarcasm and fun at
Croker. For example, the following
from the Philadelphia Times:
Orchard Croker is still willing to
kill David B. Hill with kindness.
After assisting to the full extent OF
his power to embody in the Demo.
cratic platform adopted at Kansas
City the free coinage plank, which
Mr.. Hill from the depths of his soul
abhorred, the Tammany leader ten
dered him the nomination for Vice.
President on a silver platter. Hill
declined for reasons that he did not
choose to put in form for publica-
tion, and Croker still waits to do
something for Hill.
His latest ingenious offer ia that
he is willing to nominate Hill for
Governor of New York; and still the
Democratic foe of 16 to does not
fall on the Croker neck and weep
tears of gratitude. He intimates
that he does not care to be Governor
of New York this year, and gener.
ously asks Mr.. Croker to pass the
honor to some one else. The unhe
lieving cynical public is somewhat
divided as to Croker's motive, some
holding that he wants to prevent the
nomination of Coler, and others that
he wants to retire Hill from New
York politics by having him beaten
for G )vernor.
"Hill's declination to be a candi
date for anything this year will
doubtless hurt the feelings of hi
friend Mr.. Croker, but the New
York David has a mind of his own
and there ia no law to compel hin
to run for Vice President or Cover
nor unless he wants to. That i
where he has his kind-heartet
friend Croker on the hip. II Cruke
could only force him to take noml
nation he does not want, Mr.. Hill
political fate might be sadder on
than it promises to be at present."

MAC DONALD EXPECTED TT,
Pledged His Wife to Shoot Her If
Necessity Should Arise.

New York, July 16.-A dispatch to the
World from London says:
Robert Yerburgh, NJ. P, the leader of
the China party in the house of COM
mons. who represents the British view
of the Chinese situation, said to the
World correspondent:
''She whole foreign trade in China in
1899 was 853, 900, 900 ($265, 600 0OO) of
which the British empire had 6 "a 00O,-
600, ($170, 900, 000) and the success of the
Boxer movement practically destroys
that interest. I consider the question
of reparatiOn premature until it has
been proved whether or not this is
really a rebellion for which the Chinese
constituted authorities are responsible
1t is impossible to extract pecuniary re-
ompense from the Chinese government,
whose finances already in a chaotic con-
dition, are being annually depleted
824, 900, 900 by corruption.
1T is evidently futile to compel the
corrupt mandarins to disgorge their
fix the individual responsibility.
Great Britain wants no territory,
only trade and under the new order of
things Britain's aim will be to open
international waterways, reduce the in
ternational duties and place the reve-
nue. under the control Of honest English
or American officials.
1.-THE loyalty of the viceroys is the
most gratifying feature of the gloomy
situation
There are 1852 British subjects in
China, of whom about $50 were in Pc
kin, for whose relatives. following nu-
merous precedents the British govern
ment will undoubtedly exact financial
compensation on a heavy scale
Mr.. Yerburgh said he knew that Sir
Claude Macdonald, the British minis
ter at Pel6fn long had in view the pos
sibility of some such tragedy as seems
to have occurred, and had in a way
prepared to meet it. Sir Claude. said
Mr. Yerburgh, had pledged his wife to
shoot her if it were necessary to prevent
her from falling into the hands of the
natives in the event of an uprising, and
had provided her with a quick poison
to be used in case of his inability to
fulfill his pledge

United States is pursuing in the present
crisis, a far better understanding be-

There may be an attempt on the part
of the Sand Lot agitators to precipitate
an attack on Chinatown. I do not be-

control very large following or that
the better element of the community
will lend moral support to such a move

starnant water in the Nile-

The cutting of the sudd- on the Upper
Nile and the consequent release of large
volumes of stagnant water has had an
unanticipated influence on the condition
of the river at Assuan.. From reports
received by Sir Benjamin Baker from
the engineering staff it would appear
that the absence of free oxygen in the
water has caused wholesale destruction
OF the fish. Within hundred yards
of the resident engineers office at least
a million dead fish, ranging in size from
minnoWS to six feet in length, are to be
found, and although the season is rela-
lively cool (the shade temperature not
exceeding Up degrees) the odor is I'M
pleasant and abhorrent to those who can
not dispense with their customary bath.
There is, of course, no other drinking
water available, and fortunately no
evils have resulted from it's use. This
is consistent with London experience
when it was usual to pour crude sew
age into the stream. The filtered water
though clear and odorless, was drunk
with impunity but having no free
oxygen, cells plunged into it would
struggle violently and finally die of suf-
location, as, no doubt has been the
case with the fish in the Nile under the
special circumstances resulting from the
long deferred cutting of the sud- this
