WAR OR PEACE?
That Is the Question Being Dis
cussed Now.
LATEST CHINESE NEWS.
The PigtaiIs Supposed to be Oct
ting Ready for Gigantic
War on all the
SnWorc
Powers.

News from Washington says Admiral
Rempa's letter, given publicity by the
navy department Thursday, made the
direct statement that the imperial au-
thorities we're in sympathy with the
Boxers, though he added that the gov
ernment was afterward paralyzed and
incapable Of controlling the situation.
This was the first official declaration
to reach our government contradictory
Of the Chinese representations that the
imperial government had steadfsstly
and from the first opposed the Boxer
movement, and our government is bound
to accept the word Of its own officer
until that is overcome by irrefragable
proof. The exchanges that are in
constant progress between the powers
are tending more and more to cast sus-
picion upon the genuineness Of the
many communications that have come
from Pekin through Chinese govern
mental sources. The imperial edict
promulgated by Viceroy TAX, at Can
ton, has left a disagreeable impression.
Despite the Chinese ministers view to
the contrary, this edict is looked upon
as suspiciously like preliminary to
formal declaration Of war. and as only
one step toward securing time to move
Chinese forces into better position for
defense against the internationalists.
In the Yang Use region active prep
arations for war are in progress, not for
war against the foreign powers. Junk
loads Of Chinese soldiers ana Boxers
disguised as Coolies are arriving there
daily. The arsenal is full of arms and
supplies are constantly coming in. The
Nan King and WI Chang garrisons are
being constantly reinforced and the
viceroys admit that they cannot much
longer withstand the pressure brought
to bear by Sheng and Ii Hung Chang
upon them to join the forces Of Prince
Tuan.

FIGHTING AROUND TEN TsIN.
japanese Aided by British and Bus
slams Capture an Arsenal.

A dispatch from Tien Tsin dated July
13, which has just been received at
Washington, says after fighting all day
a force Of 2, 900 Japanese, supported by
British and Russians, captured the
Chinese fortified arsenal two miles east
Of the city, making a night attack. The
foreigners charged under a very heavy
fire from the arsenal, following the
Cinnamon and killing 400 Of them.
The foreign loss was heavy, but it is
not reported.
The Chinese bombarded the foreign
city Of Tientsin heavily for three days
and killed some British sailors on .
tug today, besides several Frenchman.
The foreigners are mounting heavy
guns from the feet, among them be-
ing four 12-pounders and four 4-iach
guns and will attempt to locate and
silence the Chinese guns.
An explosion Of dynamite killed 20
Russians. Two, battalions Of the
Ninth United States infantry and 300
marines from the cruiser Brooklyn dis
embarked and started for Tientsir to-
day on lighters. As they went up the
foreign ships cheered them heartily.
Refugees of all nationallties viii be
taken to Japan by the transport Logan.
The Japanese were the heores Of the
battle. Their fighting was remarkably
brave and was praised by all their col
leagues. When some of the foreign Of.
fcers counseled retreat last night, the
japanese general said:
when my men move it will be for
ward"
This morning they charged the
breaches in the wall made by the artil-
lery and fought hand to hand in the
streets. Their conduct after the fight
was equally good as they refrsined from
lootiDg while some Of the European SOL
diers were having an o,gie. Dead
Cinnamon cover the walls and streets
Of Tientsin. Fifty guns we're captured.
The place was full Of munitions Of war.
Many fires have been started and most
Of the city will probably be burned.
The Chinese are retreating toward Pc
kin.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Weekly Bulletin Issued by Section
Director Bauer.


The following is the weekly bulletin
of the condition of the weather and
crops Of the State issued last week by
Director Bauer of the South Carolina
section Of the United States weather
bureaus weather and crop service:
The week ending S a. NJ, July 23d,
was nearly three degrees warmer than
usual, and had a maximum Of lO2 de-
grees at Batcsburg, and minimum Of
&c at Green7iile.
There were light, widely scattered
showers during the entire week, heavi-
est in the central counties. By far the
greater portion of the State had no rain,
and severe drought conditions prevail
in places. The need of rain is general,
and nearly all crops failed, or are be-
ginning to suffer for lack Of moisture,
especially old corn that is maturing.
The dry weather was favorable for
laying by, and ridding fields Of grass
and weeds, so that crops are being laid
by in generally clean condition, al
though grassy fields are still common.
Old corn failed materially, except on
moist lands, where it shows slight i'm.
provement. On sandy lands it is firing.
Young corn continues to look we'll aud
retains its color, but is not growing,
and will soon fail unless moisture is
supplied. Bottom land corn has made
little recovery since the June freshest.
Cotton improves slowly, except on
sandy lands, where it is shedding
leaves and squares and is turning yel.
low. Cotton is generally small and late,
although fields are now clean and fruit
ing normally, but the crop is spotted
and its average condition remains poor.
Sea island cotton is doing poorly owing
to drought, blight and shedding.
Tobacco is ripening fast, and curing
made rapid progress, being now over
half finished. The not weather njured
tobacco to some extent.
The prospect for a large forage crop
is good, especially Of field peas, which
look very promising. Minor crops gen
orally, as we'll as pastures and gardens,
are failing rapidly, and stand in urgent
need of rain. The apple and melon
crops continue poor, while peaches and
pears are plentiful, but the peaches
are rotting badly. Grapes are ripen-
ing. A general rain would materially
improve the crop prospects.

proposition to withdraw the money and
return it to its original subscribers was
finally brought to a vote, about IS, 600
worth of the stock voted for it, and the
other $40, 900 voted against. Thus it
was determined to continue the ex-

about one year. As to the details Of

RECORDS COMPARED.

Some of our readers will remember
that Candidate c. A. Prouty had a
second electioneering pamphlet pre-
pared recently, John Young being the
author, in which ahotner attack was
made upon Gen. CIRCUITS candidacy for
the senatorship.
In this circular no comparison Of
Gen. CIRCUITS work in Congress was
made with the work of any other
statesman, but it was "given out cold"
that Gen. Grout had secured the pas
sage of only So of his bills into law,
that 81 of these were private bills, and
broad insinuation was made that the
record was very cheap one. This
thing was done, evidently, in the X
pectation that the voters would take
it for granted that other congressman
habitually rush dozen or more bills
through Congress every week, and
+ that no one would undertake the great
task of systematically hunting through
the Congressional Records for 80 years
past to find out the facts and state the
things omitted by Mr.. Young.
The thing has been done, however.
The Newport Express and Standard
Immediately replied to Mr.. Young
and mentioned several important
measures which had been omitted by
him. The Express and Standard also
promised that careful examination
of the record should be made and the
result published, whatever it might
be. The report is complete, and the
fact that it is prepared by L. A. Cool
idge, the Boston Journals special
Washington correspondent, is sutfi-
cicnt proof of it's reliability to thous-
ands of Vermonters, who have read
Mr.. Cooldge's statement in the Jour
nal for years past.
In the first place Mr.. Coolidge adds
IA public bills to Gen. CIRCUITS record,
making a total of 10 bills, of which Is
were public bills.
AS matter of comparison he asccr-
tains that in Is years in the House,
Gen. CIRCUIT introduced 70 bills that
became laws. During IA years in the
House and 20 years in the Senate,
Hon. j. S. Morrill, caused the enact
mcnt of so bills into law. Senator
Edmunds during % years in the Sen.
ate, was the the author of IS new
laws. The average of tie three men
was Morrill,, tritlc less than two
per year: -Edmunds, a little under
three per year; Grout, fraction more
than four and one-half per year. That
is the arithmetic of it.-Woodstock
Standard
The Express and Standard of New
port publishes lengthy letter from
"Coolidge," the Washington cores
pendent of the Boston Journal, which
gives comparison of the records of
Morrill, and ,Edmunds compared with
CIRCUITS. CIRCUITS record does not suf-
fer thereby but the comparison proves
what sensible people would admit
from the start, that the number of
bills successfully carried through is no
criterion whatever as to Il Congress-
mans abillty.--Ludlow Tribune.
