London, July 20.-The Shanghai COR
respondent of the Daily Mail says: In.
tense indignation isufelt here at the
honors which the British in Hong
Kong have accorded to Ii Hung Chang
who is looked upon in Shanghai as the
originator of the whole fiendish anti
foreign plot "a Chinese merchant who
has just arrived from Pekin gives nor
rible details of the massacre. He says
he saw European women hauled into
the street by shrieking Boxers, who
stripped them and hacked them to
pieces. Their dlssected limbs We're
tossed TO the crowd and carried off
with howls or triumph. Some were
already dead, having been shot by for
egn civilians, He says he saw Chi
nese soldiers carrying the bodies of
white children on spears while their
companions shot at the bodies. He
gives other details too horrible to be
particularized here. cit seems that
the Boxer leaders had organized Il
plan including the offerings of rewards
and rich loot for the humiliation of
Europeans throughout China and that
Prince Tuan's generals have been em-
phaslzing the opportunity the soldiers
have of selling the bodies of white
women" vritsl.s.a

Plttsburg, Pa. July 23.-Henry G..
Fry, president of the National Glass
company, announces that one of the
results following the annual confer
ence of officials and statesmen of that
company at Chautaqua, will be the
removal of the companys five plants
from Indiana to the Pittsburg district

They viii bring to this section over
5000 worlimen. The reasons given by
Mr.. Fry for the change are threefold.
First, the supply of natural gas in In
diana is diminishing; second, should
pittsburg gas fail, other fuel is Of
easy aeess; third the Ohio river pro-
vides unusual facilities for reaching

The National Rough Rider military
encampment is the outgrowth of ideas
crystaliized by the late war with Spain
and is an institution made useful, Il not
necessary. by the great changes in mill
tary tactics which the last ten years
have recorded. AS the encampment Is a
permanent one. eligible young men may
enlist at any time for periods of three,
six. nine months, or one year.
At the last meeting Of the board OF
governors the secretary was ordered to
issue a call for 500 more young men,
preferably college men. athletes, or men
familiar with the use OF revolver and
rifle. Ten medical students will also be
accepted, who will be attached to the
mounted Red Cross training station The
call also includes fifty graduated civil
engineering students, who will receive
practical training in everything pertain

Mother With n Razor

TRENTON. N. j.. June 3.-Samuel S.
Moore, son of Henry C. Moore President
of the Trenton Passenger Railway Company
and also President of the Trenton Gas and
Electric Company, went insane at $50
o'clock this evening. His father, mother,
and two younger sisters were seated at the
table in the~dining room of their residence
when he appeared from one of the upper
apartments and passing to position be-
hind his mother attacked her with razor,
inflicting dangerous wound in her neck.
He was in the habit OF kissing his mother
frequently and when he approached her the
rest of the family thought that it was lis
intention to salute her in the usual way.
His father disarmed him in a moment and
physicians living nearby sewed up the
cash in Mrs. Moore's neck.
The son is twenty-four years old. He was
graduated from Princeton University two
years ago. His condition is said to be due to
oyerstudy. He has been under medical

time. When his father took the razor from
him he seemed not to realize what had oc-
Cured. He has been removed to the State

Warden Jackson and the keepers Of the
county prison would like some one to tell

er, John Lutz. is trying to drive himself

ior. Ever since the verdict was given on

over his eyes and plods along.
He is ignorant and he does not read so
that his thoughts are his only companions.
He is in padded cell. He has been silent
for seventeen days. The defence during
his trial was insanity, but only one juror
out Of the twelve believed it. and after
holding out sixteen days he signed first
degree verdict against his expressed con-
viction. 1t was on this ground that q
new trial will be asked for.
Lutz, so some who have seen him be-

FUTURE OF VALLEY FORGE.
Plans for the Preservation of the
Historic Place.


Historic Place.
PHILADELPHIA. June 3.-Interest In
Valley Forge Field Day is sweeping over
the State. Patriotic societies in every
county are making preparations to attend
the exercises on the Revolutionary camp
ing ground on Saturday. June 16. 1t is
hoped that President Mckinley will find it
possible to accept the formal invitation to
be present, which will be rendered him by
a special committee on Tuesday. Senator
]. o. Quarles, of Wisconsin, has been in
vited to deliver a short address on the es-
timation in which the people OF the great
West hold the bivouac of Washington's
army.
Among ether suggestions for the preser
vation Of Valley Forge is that it be ac-
yuired by the United States as Govern
ment military post 1t has lost nothing in
strategic value since the days when it was
wisely chosen by Washington as the winter
camp of his brave army. Pennsylvania has
not single military post within her bor-
ders, with the exception Of Fort Mifiin,
which Is now garrisoned by corporal.
The adjacent State of New York has a
number OF such posts scattered through
her territory, but the great and wealthy
State of Pennsylvania has none worthy OF
the name.
At the present time there seems to be
no necessity for the establishment of such
post near Philadelphia. but when it is
recalled with what tremors Of alarm the
possible investment of Philadelphia by
hostile fleet was considered the presence CT
detachment of the Regular Army would
not be amiss, even In times of peace. In
the West fort Is one of the show places
Of the city near which it is located, and it
would be one of the attractions to bring
visitors to Philadelphia if fort were es-
tablshed here.
The cost of acquiring the grounds of
Valley Forge would not be great. The
present lands owned by the State. which
comprise one-ffth Of the field, cost s35, 900.
An additional sum of 100000 would buy
every rod of ground and would leave de-
cent sum for the maintenance of the park.
IL the State does not pave the way for the
eventual purchase of the field by an appro-
priation this session of the Legislature the
maatter Will be brought before Congress at
its next session.

to Commercial Uses.
NEW YORK. June 3.-William Marconi.
wireless telegraphy expert. who arrived
here yesterday upon the American Line
steamer St Paul, is now at the Hoffman
House. While in this country he will
make some important experiments con-
nected with the commercial use of wire
less telegraphY. He said that at present
he was not ready to speak for publication
concerning the experiments, and he
thought that he had nothing to say now
of any great public interest.
He expects to remain in New York
about ten days. He came here in order
to attend to some business which required
his presence in this country. His deter
mination to come over here had been sud-
denly formed.
I'm fact" he said with smile. 81 don't
know as have any right to be over here
at all
Signor Marconi spoke in the most enthu-
siastic way Of the future of wireless teleg-
raphy. He said that the German liners
are now using the system. not only to
announce their arrival at their European
ports, but many miles from land re-
ceved bulletins of all the important news
which had become known while they were
at sea.
THE stations over there" he said. ''are
being conducted very successfully. The
German lines have not yet erected similar
stations on this side of the Atlantic
Among the possibilities of wireless
telegraphy is the communication between
the various vessels of fleet in naval
maneuvres. Signor Marconi said that the
wireless apparatus was now successfully
used by the British admiralty and that or
ders could be given at distances of eighty
miles. He remarked, too, that the French
navy was now successfully employing the
system.
