TIE BISHOPS LETTER.

I'm view of these facts it would seem
that 1t has a valid claim on the SYM
pathy, cooperation and at least coure-
Gus consideration OF those who officially
represent the civil guardianship of de-
cency and good order. 1 urge no other
claim for it, and l beg to say that I
an not now addressing you because
there has been in that which I now de-
sire to bring to your notice, q vulgar and
brutal action Of those in connection with
one who happens to have been my own
representative. The personal element
so far as he or 1 are concerned is OF the
smallest consequence But the thing
that Is of consequence, sir, is that when
minister OF religion and a resident OF
a particular region, whose calling, and
tTustworthiness, and truthfUlness are all
fully recognized gees to headquarters
OF the police in his district to appeal for
protection for the young, innocent and
defenseless against the leprous pharisees
who are known as runners and touters
for the lowest and most infamous dens OF
vice, he is met not only with contempt
and derision but with the coarsest con-
tu1nely and obloquy.''
Bishop Potter then goes on to tell how,
when the ministers called at one of the
police station to complain of the notorl-
Gus state OF affairs, one OF them was told
by the police captain that he lied, and
that when, disheartened by such an ex-
perience the minister carried his COM
plant to higher police officials. he was
met with insult and derision. The bishop

REMARKABLE ACCIDENT.
Man Burned to Death, and Two

Wapakoneta, O., July PA remark
able and horrible accident occurred at
Kettlersville, 10 miles south of here,
resulting in the death of William Nay,
and the severe burning of August Blu
menhorst and Fred Egbert. The three,
all young farmers, had been threshing
on the farm of Henry May, and were
pulling out on their road engine, when
the weight of the heavy engine broke
a natural gas pipe near the surface.
The escaping gas Immediately caught
fire from the fire box, enveloping them
in flames before they could get away.
William May was horribly burned all
over and died in a few hours. Blumen-
horst was badly burned on face, hands,
and neck, but will recover. Egbert,
their helper, escaped with much less
serious injuries. The broken gas pipe
was large one, and it was with diff.

STRICTLY IMPARTIAL
Is the Rule Of the Union Pacific
Railroad Against Cigarettes.

At a recent meeting of Directors OF
the Union Pacific railroad, George
Gould, and other millionaire directors
of the Union Pacific Railroad were
compelled to throw away their cigars
and cigarettes by director Hartman,
Chairman of the Executive Committee.
because it was against the rules of the
road. 'No smoking on the Union Pa
cific premises by any employee of the
road" said Mr.. Hartmann; "men
sho ul d not be directors in companies
and make rules for others, If they can't
obey the rules themselves" The di-
rectors took the order good-naturedly
and promised to obey it faithfully at
all future gatherings.
The anti-cigarette rule affects thous-
ands of men. 1t has been found
necessary by the Union Pacific rail-
road because cigarette users in its
employ become ''dopey" and worthless.
Director Hartman recently said the
company might just as well go to the
county lunatic asylums for employees
as retain cigarette users in its service
at big salaries.

THE SITUATION In CHINA!

The mystery enveloping the situation
at Peking, continues. A letter has
been received from Conger, dated July
4, stating they were at the English
legation under fire from Chinese shells,
and said that help must be sent sOon.
This letter disproves the first reports
of massacre, and discredits the reports
of q massacre July 6, but shows that
the situation was critical. A Chinese
dispatch of the 25th says the legation
ers were alive and safe on the 22d of
July. But the question that puzzles
every one is, If the legationers are safe
and news can be sent through, why are
the legation members not allowed to
send dispatches or letters showing the
actual situation? There is one answer
to this: The Chinese Government may
be fighting for its own life with the
Boxers, and does not dare to show too
much favor to the foreigners-and it
may have the legationers conceal
ed, and dares not reveal that fact-and
its own communication with the out
side world may be limited, and only
through secret agents who can only
carry news by word of mouth.
The Emperor has written letters to
President Mckinley and all European
rulers, asking that their Governments
act as Intermediates wi9h the other
powers to secure peace and the integ-
rity Of China. All the powers answer
that the safety of the foreign embas-
sadors must be assured before they can
enter into any negotiation. =.
The Imperial Government says the
legatfoners are safe, and if the foreign
forces at Tien Tsin will not advance on
Peking, the legationer will be brought
to Tien Using, under strong escort.
This is thought to be sharp trick of
diplomacy on the part Of the Chinese
Government-the theory being that the
|legationers have been massacred by the
Boxers, and that it is the endeavor to
keep this from the Powers. If they re-
ject the offer to bring the legationers
to Tien Tsin, then their massacre will
be declared to have occurred after this,
and to be the result of this refusal and
China will wash her hands of the blame
If the Powers consent to bringing them
to Tien Tsin, the guard was over
powered and the legationers massacred
on the way, and the Imperial Govern
ment should be absolved of the blame
This theory is ingenious. But the
Chinese Government will be held re.
sponsible in any event. If the Boxers,
control, the Imperial Govern ment is
not in power, and the foreign powers
will deal with the Boxers, and hold
China responsible through them.
Meantime, the movement for an ad
vance on Peking, from Ticn Tsin, il
proceeding, and it is now said the ad
vance will begin by July 30.
