THE PENALTY OF CONQUEST.


We are mad-grown mad in the race for
god.
We are drunk with the wine of gain.
lhs truths our fathers proclaimed of old
we spurn with a high dsdain.
But while the conqueror's race We run,
our rulers should not forget
4hat this God who reigned over Babylon
Is the God who is reigning yet.
Would we tread in the paths Of tyranny
Nor reckon tina tyrant's cost?
VINO taketh another's liberty.
His freedom is also lost.
Would we win as the strong have ever
won.
Make rsady to pay the debt,
For the God who reigned over Babylon
is the God who is reigning yet.
The ruins OF dynasties passed away
In eloquent silence lie;
Ana the despct's fate is this same today
mat II was in the days & ne by.
Against all wrong and injustice done
A rigid account is set,
For the God who relgned over Babylon
IS the God who is relgning yet
me laws OF the right are eternal laws
The judgments OF truth are true:
NY greed blind masters, | bid you pause
Ana look on the work YOU do
You bind With shackles your fellow man
your hands With his blood are wet
ANA the God who reigned over Babylon
Is the God WAC is reigning vet.

Fire in.RichmOnd.

Richmond, June THE factory and
stock of the Virginia and North Carroll
na Wheel Company, on the Osborne
turnpike, a short distance below the
city, were totally destroyed by fire this
morning. The plant was among the
largest, il not the largest, OF the kind In
the world. About 275 men will be
thrown out of work. Nearly all the
stock of the company was owned by
New York people.
An alarm was turned 10, and although
the scene OF the fire was beyond the
corporate limits, No. 8 Engine compa-
ny was ordered out, but owing to the
distance 1t was late in reaching the fire.
1t looked at one time as though the
works of the American Ether Company,
across the road to the west of the fscto-
ry, would be burned. For an hour the
office building appeared to be certain Of
destruction, but the firemen got good
stream on the roof, and at 3:20 1t was
seen that the works were saved.
At least two acres ofground had been
burned over.
At 4 o'clock the fire was under con-
troll. It was stated at that hour that
the total loss would amount to $175, 900.
Manager Brown stated that the insur-
ance amounted to SAC, 900.

THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

The situation In China has become 30
serious that the msjorities of the lega-
tons at Pekin are sending their fami-
lies away. The soldiers sent to attack
che Boxers had a fight with them near
Pekin, and many were killed on both
,ides. The United States and the Ger
man governments have ordered more
garships to Chinese waters.
Great anxiety is shown among the
leading London fiuanciers owing to the
developments in China and unmistaks-
ble signs that war between Japan and
Russia is more than possible. The
trouble in China is gradually working
I'D a crisis of the first magnitude. The
London papers cay that the British
squadron at Taku 10 recognized as in
ferior 10 strength to the Russian as well
As to the japanese.
German official circles con.
.inue to regard the Chinese sit
ration as grave. This is shown by an
additional number OF marines landed at
raku from the gunbost Hits and by the
fact that the large protected cruiser
Herths, bearing the commander OF the
far Asiatic squadron, Rear-Admiral
Bendemsnn, has been ordered to Taku.
The U. s. Navy Department has or.
dered the gunbost Helena from Manila
TO Taku, the nearest port to Pekin. She
will Join the Newark, which is already
there. The Princeton, now at Manila,
may also be sent to Taku. The admin.
istration is still determined that the
United States government shall contin-
ne on it's independent course respecting
the Chinese situation, though willing to
60 as far as possible to aid in the resto-
ration of peace and order In China.
Information from the European capitals
tends to discredit the rumors that Russia is
manipulating the Boxer movement, intending
to make it an excuse for Russian occupation
Of Pekin.
