We are glad to see a tendency il.

We are glad to see tendency in
the drift Of city politics where the
issues will be made up on the
mayor and councilmen rather than
On the marshal and treasurer. The
history of Lewiston city politics
would show that the only contests
ever made were contests over what
individuals should occupy the sal
aired positions in the city govern
mcnt. Lewiston is entering upon
a new era and the one supreme
question at issue is the question OF
city improvements. We must have
a live, progressive, active city gov
eminent men of decided eonvic-
tions that the time has come when
the city must SHAKE off the lethargy
that has so long bound it men
who believe in Lewiston and Lew
iston's future. aud are ready and
willing to give their eneI GIGS to-
ward fitting tie city to meet that
future.

Missouri Farmer Who Defended His Right
to WalIop His Wife,

Trenton, Mo, Aug. S.-Edward
Spencer. a prominent farmer, was in
Il justice court yesterday found guilty
of beating his wife. and sentenced to
Jail and to pay a fine. The prOsecu-
ton was forced by Spencer's neigh
bOrs. who declared if the law did not
interfere they would. Spencer argued
his OWN case, quoting Scripture to sus-
tain his actions.
Mrs. Spencer admitted that she be-
lieved, according to the Bible, her hus-
band was in duty bound to whip her,
but pleaded that he had gone beyond
the limit. On occasion, she testified,
Spencer whipped her because she
could not see n squirrel in 4 tree; and
at another time because she would not
wash buggy that they might drive
to church, where he was to sing in the
choir. Spencer says he will carry the
case to the higher courts

OUR SHARE IN THE FIGHT.
Chaffee Has 1000 Men and a Battery on
the Firing Line,

the Firing Line.
Washington, Aug. S.-The informa-
ton which came yesterday that Amer
lean troops were engaged in the battle
at Pietsang established positively for
the first time that at least Il part, aud
n considerable part, of our force was
in the vanguard of the forward move
ment General Chaffee'S dispatch to
the war department conveyed the
most satisfactory evidences that the
commanders had thoroughly agreed to
advance upon a plan of action, but it
said nothing about the result of the
action. 1t simply stated that a fight
for Sunday had been decided and that
the Japanese, British and Americans
We're to attack in flank on the right,
while Russians and French We're to
strike between the river and railway.
He said our force numbered 1000 and
a battery. His cable is dated Tien-
Tsin, Aug. 3.
An Associated Press copyright dis
patch from Tien-Tsin, Aug. ), 8 a. m,
says: This morning AT daylight TO-
600 allies attacked the Chinese at Pei
tsang and forced the enemy from the
trenches. The Americans who par
ticipated We're the Ninth and Four
teenth regiments. Reilly's battery and
the marines. \ heavy battle is still in
No light has yet been thrown upon
the subject of whether the command
ers of the international forces have
agreed upon n commander. The Chat
fee dispatch would seem to indicate
that none had been agreed upon. The
movement was planned evidently by
commanders in conference, and the
part which each command was to play
agreed upon in advance. 1t is perhaps
noteworthy and significant that in this
plan of attack at Pietsang the Ameri-
can, British and Japanese We're Joined
in the movement to turn the enemy's
finak, while the Russians and French
operated together on the opposite side
Of the river. This may indicate the line
Of cleavage among the allies, whose
general disSessions We're reported at
Tien-Tsin.
IT is also exceedingly significant that
General Chaffee does not mention the
German force at all. The war depart
ment officials do not believe that this
could have been. due TO an oversight
on his part If * was arranged that
they were TO participate in the move
ment. 1t, therefore, seems likely that
the Germans We're not engaged at
PietsanC. II Is thought possible that
they may be acting independently.

DIRECT FROM MINIsIER coNGER.
His News, However, Is Not Later Than
Last Thuraday.


Last Thursday.
Washington, Aug. S.-Another cable
gram came to the state department
yesterday afternoon from Minister
Conger at Picking, which is the second
received direct from him since June
u. 1t is the first which has come d.
rect from the minister since the above
date, the other having been received
through the intermediary of the Chi
nese minister here. So important were
the statements contained in the dis
patch that a conference Washed by
wire between several of the officials
here and the president at Canton, last
ing for several hours. The cablegram
came in the official cipher of the de-
partment.
1t is undated, like his previous cable
gram, but from the internal evidence
furnished by his reference to the be-
heading of two members OF the tsung-
l-yamen and to the insistence of the
Chinese government on the removal OF
the ministers from Picking, state de
partment officials say it may be as
signed Il date not earlier than July
80, and perhaps not later than Aug y
II is checked by the telegraph com
pany as having been put on the wires
at Tsi-Nan. a large city about eighty
miles southeast of Picking, on Aug.
Z. The word ''yamen" following the
name of the city Tsi-Nan, at which
the cablegram was put on the wires,
as understood here, probably refers to
the official building or residence from
which it was transmitted. or at which
it was received by courier from Pc
king.
What the result of the conference
was the officials declined to saw That
II Will stimulate the energies OF the
government to its utmost endeaYors to
press forward the advance movement
towards Picking is certain, for Conger'S
message makes it clear that for the
ministers to leave Picking would result
in their death. Secretary Root did not
care to make any statement when
asked about the situation. The Off
Gals had been led to believe from the
more recent dispatches which had pur-
ported to emanate from Chinese
sources. as well as from imperial
edicts. that the condition of the lega-
TONERS was much improved. but these
later advices show very different as
pect of affairs.

Judge Decides That Miguel PanelIas Il

Springfield. Ills, Aug. S.-Judge B.
D. Munroe, first assistant attorney gen.
eral, yesterday issued an opinion in
answer to inquiry by J. III. Chamber
lain, Jr., editor of the Lebanon Lead
er, who asks whether Miguel Panellas.
Il native Porto Rican who has resided
in Lebanon one year, has a right to
vote. Judge Munroe holds that Panel

zens of Spain within Il year shall be
