A Showing for Taxpayers to
Carefully Consider

PREAMBLE-The delegated repre-
sentatives Of the Republican party Of
Nevada in deliberate council con-
vened congratulate the people upon
the bright prospect that at the ensu-
ing election this State will be restored
to its former proud position in the
national Republican family and cor
daily invite all Of our fellow citizens
regardless of former political affilia-
tions, to cooperate with us in the
attainment of a triumph which we
sincerely believe will greatly benefit
every citizen and substantial industry
in the commonwealth.-Re
Platform.
Less than q week ago the Reno Gazette
in , column editorial, made the charg,
that the Silver party had given the tax
payers a corrupt and extravagant admin
istration of State affairs; had expended
large sums of public money for politica
fvorites. and in all sorts Of ways so con
Quoted public affairs as to forfeit the con
fidence of the people.
Such charges, made thoughtlessly anG
recklessly, and, as rule, by wholly ir
responsible persons, are the regular
thing In political campaign. They ar,
merely utilized to humbug the averag,
voter who has not, as a rule, any mean:
whereby he can establish their truth o.
falsity.
The following statement of account
however, verified by the books of tn,

peses of the charges:

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.
Effect of United States, as a Great
Power, at Hague Conference.

Effect of United States, as Great
Power, at Hague Conference.
Following Immediately after the
brilliant naval and military achieve
ments of the Spanish-American war,
the Peace Conference at The Hague
afforded the Government of the United
States an opportunity of expressing
the pacific disposition and the love of
justice which animate the American
people by proposing, through its dele
gates, a plan for international arbitra-
ton, which, REINFORCED by other sim
liar propositions. resulted in a conven-
ton for the pacific settlement of inter-
national disputes signed by the pleni-
pOtentiaries of twenty-five sovereign
states, including all the great powers
Of Europe.
The United States, in signing this
great compact, at the same time in
sisted on reattirming, in the document
itself, our adherence to the Monroe doe
trine, and thus gained for that vital
of the world
Without cheriShing Illusions with re-
gard to the practicability Of universal
peace, it is yet possible to believe that
the existence of permanent interna-
t;Onal tribunal before which differ
ences may be adjudicated in their in
cipiency and before their accumula-
ton becomes serious, will exercise a
profound influence toward a better and
more rational solution Of disputes be-
tween nations. The numerous arrange
mentS for the arbitration Of special
questions, which the Department of
State has recently been able to effect,
give evidence Of a growing disposition
to apply the principles of peaceful
adjudication to the solution of contro-
yersies wherever practicable.

Danger of Treachery.
BECOMING IMPATIENT.
Army Officers Criticised for Delaying
the Forward Movement.

Tien Tsin, Wednesday, July %, via
Shanghai, Thursday, Aug. 2.-Pending
the order to advance for the relief of the
legatiOners at Pekin, the events at the
Chinese capital are seemingly but light
ly regarded. High officers are entertain
ing nightly at elaborate dinners, with
military bands playing operate airs. For
eign residents and friends of the besieged
in Pekin who came to Tien Tsin to await
news or to accompany the expedition are
intensely dissatisfied with the progress
CT preparations. They accuse the army
of Indifference and of magnlfylng the
difficulties to be encountered in reach
ing Pekin.
President Tenney of the Tien Tsin uni
versity, who has volunteered to guide
the army to Pekin, said today:
This business is not progressing in ac-
cordance with Anglo-SaXOn traditions.
Twenty thousand soldiers are staying
here while women and children of their
own race are starving and awaiting mas
sacrc eighty miles away. Military and
naval officers meanwhile wasting time in
pickering over petty politics, is sorry
spectacle. 1t will be dark blot on the
reputation of every commanding officer
here if the white people in Pekin are al
lowed to perish without a desperate effort
to save them
President Tenney and many others
who are acquainted with the conditions
push forward and pursue the Chinese
after the fall of the native city of Tien
Tsin. That the position Of the legations
demanded that the army take extraordi-
nary risks by securing the surrounding
country and communicating animals and
wagons and that boats sufficient for pur-
poses of transportation might be impro-
vised, is the prevailing opinion of civil
ians, and may officers, notably Japanese
and Americans confirm this view The
comment is made that European officers
are too attached to book theories to utii-
iZe the resources of the country, and
that they would rather stay in lien Tsin
according to rules than to start for Pc
kin without a perfect equipment.
Japan Declined Aid.
Washington d. c., Aug BIN connec-
ton with the statement from London
published this morning that England had
rendered Japanese financial assistance in
her Chinese campaign. it can be stated
with authority that this offer was made
many weeks ago and declined at that
time by Japan in the same friendly spirit
that it was made.

ELOPING COUPLE DROWNED.
While Trying to Escape from an Irate
Father Their Boat Capsizes.

Poplar Bluff, Mo, Aug. 3.-Miss Mar
tina Hendricks and Paul Warner, while
clipping, lost their lives by drowning in
the Current river while attempting to es>
cape from the angry father of the girl.
Miss Hendricks was II years old and
the daughter of John Hendricks, a farm
er living three miles south of Bennett.
in Ripley county. The father objected
to their marriage on account of their
youth. This morning the couple attempt
ed to go to Doniphan, the county seat, to
procure a license, and Mr.. Hendricks
started in pursuit.
The clippers thought to outwit Hen
bricks by crossing the Current river.
When midway in the stream their
boat struck snag, overturned and threw
the occupants into the water. The young
man made desperate efforts to save his
sweetheart. but her frenzied struggles
exhausted him and both sank beneath
the water. The bodies were recovered.
One hour after the accident Hendricks
appeared. When informed of the acci-
dent he gave way to piteous grief and
he repeatedly embraced the BODY of his
unfortunate daughter. Aid had to be Sc
cured to remove him from the scene.
for it was found he had become de-
ranged. The bodies were removed to
their homes and will be buried in the
same grave. fHrtr

Oil as an Index.

About one thousand million gallons of
oil Of all kinds are annually exported
from the United States, forming one of
the largest and most valuable of the
products of the country sent abroad.
But all the money received in three
years for our oil exports would be
needed to offset the sum foreign ship
owners take out of the United States
each year for doing 90 per cent of the
foreign carrying. People readily ap-
preciate the value Of our oil exporta-
tons, but they seem to be ignorant re-
garding the gold or its equivalent in
our commodities that is sent abroad
each year TO pay foreigners for carry
ing our imports and exports.

OUR ISLAND MARKETS
French Journal Shows Their Value to
the United States.


The prospective value Of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Hawaiian, Philippine and
Samoan islands as markets for the
products of the farm and factory in the
United States,si illustrated by n recent
publication in the Moniteur Officiel du
Commerce, an official publication OF the
French Government, which discusses at
considerable length the consuming
powers Of those islands and their con-
seQuent economic value to the United
States, and the prospective increase in
their consuming powers through en-
larged production under American cap
ital. The statement is as follows:
THE consumption of foreign products
by these islands Is made up almost
equally Of articles of manufacture and
Of agriculture of the temperate zone.
Out Of SIC, 125,321 worth Of products
exported from the United States to
Cuba in 1894, the value Of $9,44O, 953
was in products Of agriculture. Out of
$1S,616.377 worth of exports for the
year 1899, 50, 1888 worth belonged to
the United States to the Pearl of the
Antilles are made up principally of ce-
reals, live animals, salt meat, cotton
goods, machinery, footwear, instru-
ments, etc.
'Spain, under normal conditions, sold
annually to Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines, about $40,O00,O0O worth Of
goods, principally manufactured arti-
Giles, besides wines, oils, -four, meats
and vegetables. Out of 135,000,0G0 pc
setas' worth of merchandise shipped
from Spain to Cuba in 1896, about sc,
100000 represented the value Of prod
ucts Of agriculture. The proportion was
nearly the same in the case of Porto
Rico and the Philippine Islands.
speaking generally, we may assume
that under normal conditions the sur
plus production Of Cuba and the Philip
pines before the war amounted to about
1925 100000 annually, and their con-
sumption to $1O0,000.0O0. but that their
productive power is capable of great in
crease, which in turn will cause a SIM
liar increase in consumption. About
One-half of the imports into these isl
ands was of Spanish origin and the
other half came from other countries
propOrtionate to their proximity or dis
lance. Thus the United States furnish
ed the greater part of the imports into
Cuba and Porto Rico, while the Phil
ippine Islands received whatever Spain
was unable to furnish them with from
Hongkong, Shanghai, Yokohama, Cal
cutta and Australian ports

DANGEROUS UNDERTAKING.
Small Allied Force Hesitates to Adj
vance on Pekin.

vance on Pekin.
London, Aug. 3.-There are fresh ru
mors of an advance upon Pekin, but
these are probably premature The
OutpOStS have been extended as reinforce
ments have been received at Ten Tsin,
and there may have been a recOnnOiS-
sance i'll force, but it is not yet clear that
the allied army is prepared to undertake
the responsibilities of a march upon the
capital or that it has the equipment re-
quired for Il rapid and successful move
ment. 1t Is doubtful if a column more
than 10000 strong can be spared for this
expedition after adequate provision has
been made for the defense of Tien Tsin
and Taku, and this would not be suffi-
cient to effect the rescue of the legations
On this account military men are dis
posed to believe that the column will be
held back until it is fully equipped for
the work. There is no lack of guns. but
there are inadequate supplies of ammuni-
ton and the transport service is defect
i've. Veterans of the Chinese service as
sert that the column ought not to start
until there is a reasonable chance for an
irresistible movement toward Pekin. for
the legations will be in danger from the
foment when the departure of the bat
taliOnS is announced. 1t is not believed
that the relief column can reach Pekin
even by forced marches in less than a
week.
Danger of Treachery.
There has been marked change of
opinion among members of Parliament
within twenty-four hours respecting the
cXpediency of rapid march on Pekin
and this is the result Of DR.. MorrisOn's
clear account of the duplcity of the
Chinese government 1t is now known
that the attack upon the legations was
organized by the government and per-
severed in until Tien Tsin was captured
and that the imperial soldiers instead of
protecting the foreigners have treacher-
ously aSSailed them.
