Foreiqn Ministers in Pekin.

Little by little the situation at Pekin is cleared up, and it does not improve bit Prince Yuan, father of the heir apparent, is behind the Dowager Empress, and the two control Pekin and to some extent the empire. They hate foreigners, and their complicity in the Boxer movement be- comes more and more apparent.
 The fate of the representatives of the chief nations of the world at Pekin-of all foreigners there for that matter-has been in doubt since June 10, although the dis tanee to Tien Tsin is but eighty miles, and to the coast about thirty miles more. Rumor has succeeded rumor, and now we are told that the German ambassador was street, and that all the legation buildings but three have been burned. We are also told that the ministers were ordered on 8 certain day to leave Pekin, which was tantamount to a declaration of war. They did not leave, probably because they did not care to jump out of the frying pan into the fire. How many of them are alive remains as uncertain as ever. What the real situation is, remains undeter- mined How far the Chinese government Is connected with the Boxer movement cannot be accurately known until dis patches are received from the ministers who are, or lately were, in PelSin.
 Russia, it is stated from St. Petersburg, is endeavoring to minimize the trouble that she is widely suspected of fomenting. She thinks the Boxer trouble will soon blow over. The inhuman killing of the German ambassador may not put Germans into that way of thinking. No mention is made in the latest dispatches of the re- ported killing of the Japanese ambassa- dor. It is plain that the American legation buildings are destroyed, and that all for eigners are practically prisoners in the English legation. This much seems to be as well established as anything can be within Chinese lines
 As things stand strong column must be pushed to and into Pekin, but on account of transport facilities a month may elapse before such a column is ready. In the meanwhile no one will know with certain ty the fate of at least 1000 foreigners in Pekin. If the ambassadors fall, short work will be made of all other foreigners in that turbulent capital.

BOAT SONG

Samuel Minturn Peck in Harper's Bazar. When we boated, you and I,
 Swaying willows kissed the stream. Was it? Yes, twas last July! Little cloudlets flaked the sky,
 Just to make 1t bluer beam, When we boated, you and I.  Once again the lilies shy
 Blow. An, did they fairer seem- Was 1t? Yes, twas last July! Far from you the days dragged by
 Wintry hours without glean-- Since we boated, you and l. You were cruel then. Your eyes
 Gayly mocked my hope supreme. Was 1t? Yes, twas last July! Still love you. Do you sigh?
 Sweetheart, make it true-my dream; While we're beating, you and I, Say you lave me-this July!

SEVEN ENGAGEMENTS EFFECTED

New York Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch
 Witham, the Georgia banker, and his party of cashiers and pretty girls, left New York for the South this morning. There have been no marriages as the result of the trip, although it is understood that matrimony was one of the objects of the junket There is the consolation of know ing that seven engagements have been made, however, and doubtless the weddings will take place in Georgia in due time There was considerable hustle when the party departed from the Twenty-third street ferry, and many New Workers who were interested enough in the party to go down to see them off wished them hearty Godspeed. MT. Witham says the visit to New York has been pleasant one and he is satisfied with the betrothal of sevcn couples, even If the marriage cercmcnies are deferred. /

Bank Clearings in Southern Cities.

The bank clearings for the week ended June 2S show that Birmingham is nearing the million dollar mark, and will, if no la bor strikes intervene, soon be safely on the farther side of it. The clearings for this town were in that week s91S,94S a gain of COZ per cent over the clearings of the cor responding week of last year.
 Birmingham's nearest rivals are Atlanta and Nashville. The cearings of the former in the week in question were $1, ,16i,63 of the latter, $1, 1,09i,635. The bank clearings of Atlanta have been falling of late, but those of Nashville are slowly increasing Only Savannah, Seattle aud New Bedford in the long list of towns showed larger gains than Birmingham in the last week of the fiscal part to the activity of the naval stores trade at this season of the year; Seattle's to the Cape Nome rush. and New Bed ford's to unexplained local conditions. Bir minghams clearings keep step with the output of coal and iron, which are steadily rising. The coal output of the State is previous maximum of 1000, 900 tons, and the iron production will be all that the fur naces in existence can turn out. Let us hope so promising an outlook will not be marred by disagreements between operators and operatives.

AN ADVERSE TOTAL

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 1t is hard to serve all interests at the same time. The sensational maneuvers of the American Steel and Wire company have been far from satisfactory to other steel manufacturers bull operators in Wall street. They have been positively harmful to jobbers in wire and nails whose stocks have been greatly depreciated. These hardware men stand to lose consid- erable money through no fault of their own.
 On the other hand, the farmer who needs new fence is delighted at heinz able to buy his wire SIS ton cheaper than he could last week, and the builder is pleased to get his nails at $1 less keg. The cut will benefit these classes and may give better employment to carpenters and some others. But, summing up the advantages on one side and the injuries on the other. the showing is against the combinatio tioN management. First, because it advanced prices last year far beyond reason; sec ond, because it has taken the least consid crate course out of it's self-created diff faculties; third, because the sensational manner has inflicted injury upon many not directly connected with either the produc- ton or consumption of its wares

SENATOR MORGAN

Washington Correspondent of the New

 Senator Morgan of Alabama was right when he said some time ago, when asked about the significance of some primary elections in his state, reported as indicating a victory in the senatorial race for his op- ponent: Merely picket firing, in which general takes small interest The battle is fought, and Senator Morgan will be chosen for another six years. In spite of many characteristics which hinder the admirers of the Alabama senator from indulging in unquestioning delight in him, his propen- sity in committee and in the senate to pro- longed speaking of the most mellifous and monotonous sort, poured out of the fullest storehouse of informat ton in the senate he is highly respected, and his triumph is ap- preciated by his associates almost without exception. Morgan is a severe man in ap- pearance, as straight as an Indian, as punctilious as a Spaniard, is a great read CT, and a staunch democrat. His senatorial brethren believe that he beat Governor Johnston in Alabama in their first joint de- bate merely by the exhibition of sort of courage that Johnston lacked It was at Athens, Ala, I am told, that they both talked to an audience in which there were many negroes. When it came to be Nor gans turn to talk, he spoke to these black men. He told them that he was in favor of depriving them of the suffrage Johnston had signifed his favor of an educational qualification for the negroes, possibly to catch their votes. But Morgan, declaring
 
 poorest race of people created by Almighty God" stood out for non-suffrage for them. The joint debate stopped soon after Nor gan has remained here to discharge his duties as senator, allowing the governor of the state to enjoy such advantage as he fancied he would enjoy by occupying the field in person. Morgan will begin his ffth term of six years next March.

Suffrage Reform in the Convention.

The Montgomery Journal seems to enter tain confused ideas as to the nature and work of the state democratic convention that will meet today in Montgomery. It seems to think the members of it will act in their individual capacity, and that their representative, nature. If the convention today is not representative-if it does not represent in the fullest and most regular manner the democratic party. then The Age-Herald does not know in what way the democratic party of the state can be represented or can act.
 The Journal very we'll knows that the ac- ton of the convention is the action of the democratic party of the state, and that every democrat is in all honor and con- science bound to sustain its action, whether 1t be his first choice or not. Any other rule of action means party disorganiza- ton and party inefficiency; and while the ballot remains in its present condition the democrats of Alabama cannot afford to break into factions.
 The Age Herald frankly confesses that it hopes the convention will declare in favor of a constitutional convention in order that suffrage reform may afford both an honest ballot and more liberty in party action. A ballot fairly cast and honestly counted is needed to save the state from moral and political degredation, and con- stitutional revision is the road to it. No one knows this better than the Journal, and yet it said recently:
 ''The Birmingham Age-Herald intimates that the state convention which meets next Wednesday will declare for consu- tutional convention and it claims that everybody who opposes the convention will be putting himself outside the democratic party. The purpose of the Morris hotel democracy seems to be to get the state convention to make a declaration In faVor of constitutional convention and thus to claim that the hands of the democrats have been tied and that they cannot op- pose it and be democrats. This action or the state convention not only on the con- stitutional convention will be watched with interest but many other matters in which democrats of Alabama and the coun- try are interested" '"
 It is difficult to say what this means, but if it means that it will defy the action of the state convention in case it declares in favor of a constitutional convention, it will assuredly put itself outside of the democratic party. Any man of sense knows that he must obey the rules of any organization he joins, and a member of a political party must stand up to it's plat form whether it be made in Chicago or in Montgomery The Journal understands this full well. The eccentricities of Gov ernor Johnston in the canvass of last sum mer may have misled the Journal but they did not mislead the great body of the party.
