FACTORY FOR LAWRENCE.
Indiana Firm May Locate Egg Case
Filler Factory.

Lawrence, Aug. 7.-Owners of an egg
case filler factory now located in In
diana have been in Lawrence the last
few days making arrangements for the
establishment of a branch factory. They
have been looking over locations for a
site, planning for the use of water
power and considering other arrange
ments for the establishment of the in
dustry here. The men were favorabiy
impressed with advantages offered and
the chances seem good for securing the
industry for Lawrence. The coming of
the new factory to Lawrence will re-
quire a doubling in the capacity of the
Lawrence paper mill and will mean the
employment of fifty or more hands in
the new factory.

MEMORIAL FUNERAL.
To Be Held IN Washington in Honor
of King Humbert.

Washington, Aug. Barron Fava, the
Italian ambassador, announces that a
memorial funeral will be held at Wash
ington, on August 10, at IL o'clock, in
honor of King Humbert. President Nc
Kinley has already signified his purpose
of being present at the official ceremony
and members of the cabinet in the city
also will attend. This service will be al
st. Matthews Catholic church, with
Cardinal Gibbons as the principal digni-
tary of the church, officiating. All of the
embassies and legations in Washington
have received invitations to be present,
the foreign representatives being re-
quested to attend in uniform.
In diplomatic quarters the announce
ment of this service at a Catholic church
occasioned some little surprise in view
of the conditions existing between the
church and the temporal authorities al
Rome, and the announcement was ac-
cepted as a most pleasant augury of the
growing good feeling.
In this connection it was recalled that
when the assassination of King Humbert
was announced to the Pope, he decided
that a mass be said for the dead mon-
arch, at which the aged pontiff himself
was the celebrant.

AMERICANS STARTED 1T.
Held Responsible for Bombardment
of Tien Tsin.

San Francisco, Aug DIR. Diffen-

gan from China, gave out the follow
ing interview today:
1T was on the morning of July II
that the first clash between the for
eigners and the empires soldiers occur

gan.
Captain Bailey of the British ship
Orlando. was commander OF the allied
force at Tien Tsin on July II, as Cap
tain McCalla was absent. with Seymour
at the time. At about IL O'Clock in the
forenoon he saw smoke rising from the
railroad track about four miles distant
from the city. and suspecting that the
boxers had fired another bridge, Cap
tain Bailey ordered thirty of his men,
commanded by a midshipman, whose
name / have forgotten, to proceed to
the spot and investigate. We had a
3-inch gun and the men were fully
armed. When our fiat car had Travelled
about three miles we found a bridge in
which the timbers had been burned
away from the iron girders and con-
sidering it unsafe to cross. our COM
mander ordered his men to return to
the city We had gone about 800 yards
on the back trip when we saw a lot of
soldiers-about 150-crossing the track
at a point a mile ahead of US. They
were walking very rapidly and as We
approach them all doubts as to their
They did not wear the red turban and
sash that distinguished the boxers, and
as soon as got within about 800
yards of them they scattered and got
behind the grave mounds with which
the surface of the country was thickly
studded. Regarding this action as sus
picious, our midshipnan gave the or
der to fire a volley and they quickly and
vigorously returned the salute. Our
field piece was minus a sight and most
of its shots passed over the enemy, so
that after ten minutes of hot firing
we resumed our retreat, the Chinese
firing at us as long as we were within
range There were no casualties on our
side.
The significant feature OF that Incl
dent was it's bearing on the subsequent
proceedings. If it had not been for
the action of our party that morning
the bonbardment of Tien Tsin might
not have commenced that afternoon; in
other words, am inclined to believe
that our attack on the Chinese troops
precipitated their bombardment Of the
city And for that reason the skfrmish

PETER AND EXPANSION.

imperialism Americas Historic Pol
ICY is the title of an article in the
August North American Review by ex-
United States Senator w. A. PETER and
from the viewpoint of an expansionist.
it is one Of the best arguments that has
yet been presented in favor of the Phil
ippine policy of the administration He
discusses the question under three
heads.
F'irst-Whence comes the right to gov
ern? What are its sphere and object?
Second-Are we, the people of the
United States. a self governing people?
Thirds our Philippine policy anti
American?
Under thefrst headhe makes the point
of the right of the majority to govern.
which has never been doubted by citi-
zens of this republic, except at times,
and cites Thomas jefferson for the
absolute acquiescence in the decisions
of the majority to be the vital principle
of republics" He quotes the Declara-
ton of Independence in this: Govern
ments are instituted among men, deriv-
ing their just powers from the consent
of the governed and follows it with
quotation from the constitution regard
ing the negro slaves, clearly showing
that their consent or dissent did not
although they formed one-sixth of the
population of the country at that time.
Under the second head it would be
hard to determine whether Mr.. PETER
believes we are or are not a self-govern-
ing people. He fills some two pages
and more in which he shows that some
times we are and then again we are not,
but closes that subject with, I'VE not
only have adopted the majority prin-
ciple as a rule of government, but we
have uniformly insisted upon acqui-
escence in minority rule in any and all
cases where it has been SO provided in
advance. We have but to look at our
record to see that, from the beginning,
we have excluded a very large proper
ton of our own people from an partici-
patton in affairs of government, and we
have never accused ourselves of exercis-
ing unjust powers or undue authority"
Under the third head he makes his
best argument. He quotes history to
show that every acre of land co1npris-
ing the United States was taken from
the Indians either before or after it was
coded, and quotes statistics concerning
the cost in lives and money of the In
dian wars that will make an s'anti-frn-
perialist' who bowls about the expense
of the Filipino war look pale. The case
which he cites as being exactly parallel
with the Philippine question is the his
tory of Florida which territory was pur-
chased from Spain and which caused a
war with the Seminole Indians, the in
habitants, lasting seven years.
Andrew Jackson was president during
the first two years of the war and"
says Mr.. PETER, President Mckinley
is now doing in the Philippines Just

and his SUCCESSORS in Florida. and he is
