New Styles in Armories.

The Thirteenth regiment, Pennsyl-
vania National Guard, is to have fine
new armory in Scranton. The plans of
the structure have been adopted, and as
outlined by the Scranton Tribune, they
show decided change in the manner
OF construction from that which hereto
fore prevailed, when armories were
built for our citizen soldiery as places
in which beautiful exhibition drills
could be given, banquets or dances were
held and all the comforts of club and
social life were found. Our readers are
probably more or less familiar with the
old-style armory, erected as sort Of
pleasure-house for the militia. Let us
see what the armory of the future is
like, taking the proposed Scranton
fortress as sample.
"The side walls" we CLEAN from the
description Of the plans, twill extend
several feet above the roof, thus making
protection for men on top. In case of
an attack upon the building garrison
could be stationed there that could work
havoc upon an attacking party The
top OF the wall is to be made so that it
can be patroled by pickets. At each
corner and at the entrances towers sur
mount this wall. These are furnished
with firing loops and furnish protection
for the guards"
Thus 1t is seen the structure is not to
be built for peace, but for war. The
thoughtful man will naturally ask him
self with whom are the militia-men of
Scranton going to war. 1t is possible
havoc upon an attacking party were
made to repel the assaults of the Fill
pinos or the Chinese Boxers? Why is
such an impregnable fortress built a
hundred miles from the sea coast, at
point where foreign army can never,
except under almost impossible circum-
stances, expect to reach?
The suggestion that the builders of
the Scranton fort are dreaming of a
foreign army attacking their city must
be cast aside. 1t is too ridiculous for
consideration.
But, nevertheless, the building is to
be erected, and according to the plans
stated above. A foe is seen in the
future, or those gigantic preparations
to annihiate him would not be made.
Who that foe is, and for whom the
Scranton coal operators and vested
rights owners are pouring out their
money to provide against, is the ques-
tion which the wage-earners of north
eastern Pennsylvania can solve by
looking across the Atlantic to the i'm
perialistic countries of Europe, where
the laborer is kept with his face to the
ground from birth to death, through
the persuasion OF numerous such struc-
lures as the Scranton philanthropists
have taken the initiative in erecting.
Forthcoming events are said to cast
their shadows before.

Message From the Emperor.
The Shanghai correspondent of The
Daily Mail cables:
"a message has arrived from Emperor
Kwang Hsu, dated July 2, by courier
from Peking to the yiceroy of Nankin,
who forwarded it. 1t is addressed to the
Russian, English and japanese govern
ments. 1t deplores recent occurrences
and AYERS that the foreign governments
are mistaken in supposing the Chinese
government is protecting the Boxers
against the Christians. The emperor i'm
plorea their aid in suppressing the rebel
lion and upholding the existing govern
ment In separate dispatch to the
Japanese government Kwang Hsu ex-
pressed deep regret for the murder of the
legation chancellor.
"These dispatches are taken to indicate
that the emperor is in seclusion and igno.
rant of the seriousness of recent events"
The Chinese version of the origin of the
PelIing outbreak, as published in Shang
hal. is that Baron Won Kettler was hated
by the popuiace. who. taking advantage
Of the disturbed condition of affairs, shot
him out of revenge, thereby causing a
conflict between the Chinese troops and

Prince Tunn's Edicts.

According to the Shanghai correspond
ent of The Express Prince Tuan in re-
cent edict boldly signs himself emperor
He warmly commends ''his faithful Box
ers" and in howery language appeais to
their cupidity and fanaticism. In the
same decree Prince Tuan appoints Prince
Tzuan, the "iroD capped" Prince Tsai-
shan, his imperial ciansman, and kang-1i
to command the three wings Of the Boxer
army.
At Shanghai it Seems TO be believed
that the date of the dispatch Of July g.
asserting that two legations were still
standing, was an error. The couriers
must have left Peking at least five days
earlier, making the real date June 2S
while the alleged massacres are said to
have occurred on June 80. Until this
point can be cleared up anxiety will be
felt as to tie fate of the whites.
A dispatch from Shanghai says:
"An edict of the empress dowager, pro-
mulgated on June 30. has just been pub
lshed in Shanghai. Her majesty express
es sorrow for the death of Baron Won
Kettler, the German minister who, she
says, went to the tsung-li-yainsa on the
day of his death against her wishes.
"Her majesty expresses regret that the
capture of the Taku forts should have
complicated matters, but orders that the
Boxers be suppressed and the foreign le>
cations in Peking protected. The whole
tone of the edict is to hold the foreigners
blamable for the gravity of the crisis.

Attack on Tien-Tsin.
A dispatch dated Tien-tsin, July 8,
says:
yesterday large forces of Chinese
troops attacked the settlement from two
dircctions-one from the western arsenal
and the other upon the railway station
on the opposite bank Of the river. The
Chinese evidently now have a more capa-
Bile commander. The attack from the ar
senal was directed upon what is probably
the weakest point OF defense, which has
hitherto not been pressed. The Chinese
advanced on this side across an open
plain without cover, and the attack was
easily repulsed by the British guns. The
enemy made simultaneous attack upon
