The Carlisle Fitting School Visits
Orangeburg.

VrahSeDurS.
Two weeks ago last Saturday the base
ball team of the Orangeburg College ac-
companied by about forty of the students
came to Bambesg to play with the team
of the Carlisle Fitting School a match
game Of baseball This entire body OF
students, with exception of teacher and
perhaps student or two, was entertain
ed Hospitality and in the very best man
ner until time for the game of ball. Din
ner was served at the hall at o'clock, so
as enable the game to be finished in time
for the boys to return home .on the 5.S3
train. =. .
The game was played insthe best of
spirit and humor, but the Orangeburg
BOYS were no match for the team of the
Fitting School,. The game was called at
the end of the fifth inning on account OF
a crippled finger of the Orangeburg catch
7er. The score then stood 20 to 9 in favor
of the Fitting School.
Arrangements were made for the boys
of the Fitting School to return the visit
and cross bats in the near future again.
Saturday, the 18th inst, was appointed as
the time for the game. Accordingly the
Fitting School team, accompanied by a
goodly number of students and friends,
boarded the train for Orangeburg. On
their arrival they found the 0. G. boys on
a picnic; but the captain of the school
team was notified that the game would
have to be played in time for them to re-
turn on the afternoon train. About 2
o'clock the o. C. boys began to talk about
not being able to play until 4o'clock, and
that if the Fitting School boys would stay
oyer until the next day they would give
them game at 43O o'clock. The Fitting
School team was unwilling to stay and
demanded the game in time to return.
At o'clock they were not ready to play,
and informed the captain that they could
not play. The C. F. S. team claimed the
games to 0 in their favor and disbanded.
There were several considerations
which made them unwilling to stay over
in Orangeburg. The next DAY was Sun
day and Head Master Willis was not will
ing for them to remain over night and
return on Sunday. The boys themselves
had received such indifferent treatment
that they were not willing to remain
They had gotten nothing at all to eat ex'
cept as they went to boarding house OF
hotel and paid for their dinner. Dinner
was served out at the picnic, mile from
town, and at such late hour that they
could not remain and be ready for the
expected gameeof ball. The team and
their friends returned on the afternoon
train utterly disgusted with the day'sex
perience 1t was quite disappointment,
for they expected to win great victory
but they found only disappointment in
complete back down on the part OF th'
opposing team.

Feature of the Political Gathering
at Fort Scott.
FORT SCOTT, Kan, July 24-The fea-
ture of the proceedings of the Populist,
Democratic and Silver Republicans state
conventions, which met here today In
separate halls. to nominate state tickets
or effect fusion in the interests of a
single ticket, was the turning down of the
senatorial aspirations of Jerry Simpson
by the Populist convention.
Neither of the conventions achieved
much at today's sessions, and at a late
hour tonight there has been no definite
agreement as to fusion.
At late hour tonight the three con-
ference committees reached an agreement
which will reported to the convention
tomorrow morning. 1t gives to the Popu-
lists the Office of associate justice, gov
ernor, lieutenant governor, auditor, su-
perintendent of public instruction and
congressman at large, while the DEM
ocrats will name the. candidates for SEC
1etary of state and attorney general The
Silver Republicans will be given the nom
nation for superintendent of Insurance
The agreement provides also that the
Populists and Democrats shall each nom
mate four candidates for presidential
electors, and the Silver Republicans two
candidates.

cials at the coast ports are actually in
communication with whatever remains
of the imperial government at Pekin, and
the text of Kwang Hu's appeal appears
to establish the fact that the Chinese
government itself is sanctioning the re-
Bistance to the international advance
upon Peldn.
The state department and the Chinese
legation substantially agree in the esti-
mate Of six to eight days as the time

According to the best information here
urgent messages are being transmitted
between Pekin and Shanghai by the
Flying Express mentioned in Consul
Fowlers cablegram a few days ago.
This, according to the Chinese, is a re-
lay system of mounted messengers, SINH
lar to the old pony service across the
plains, and is used when the wire COM
munica ton is interrupted. The relay
riders make about 200 miles a day. 1t is
900 miles from Shanghai to Fekin, and
this seems to agree very well with the
speed made in forwarding and returning
the Conger message.

over matters concerning the campaign,
but that there was nothing to announce.
Asked rs to the coming of the Ohio Of
ficials, candidates and committeeman,
next Saturday, Chairman Dick said the
party would come if the president was
here to receive them at that time, but
there was a possibility that the president
would then be in Washington again, on
account of matters connected with the
Chinese situa ton.
Did the president intimate an early
departure?" was asked.
No, it would be unfair to say that I
was speaking except from current re-
ports. If he is to undertake mediation
with the powers, it is quite likely that
he will be at the capital for at least
part of the week.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The state de-
partment is again in a waiting attitude
regarding China. 1t has frankly, prompt
" and fully answered the Chinese en-
peroI's appeal for mediation, and the cor
respondence given publicity today makes
It appear that the next move is for the
Chinese government. 1t is expected to
accept or reject our terms at once, and
IN either case the answer must convey
tidings Of the state of affairs at Pekin,
and the welfare of the legationers.
The belief is not concealed here that
the chances for successful mediation are
slight Mediation cannot be forced upon
q party to a cause; it must be acceptable
TO all the parties If the United States
Is to mediate in China's interest, she must
flrst secure the assent of all the powers
who have suffered in life or property at
Pel1in.
The difficulties in the way Of such an
Undertaking are likely to be many and
serious, in view of the exhibition of feel
ing IT. Europe. But it is said here that
the United States will cheerfully under
take the task, provided its conditions are
met If 1t does not succeed in inducing
the European powers to be lenient in
their treatment Of the imperial govern
ment Of China, the United States gov
ernment will not be drawn into further
hostilities after we have taken care of
our own affairs, but we will withdraw,
taking care, however, to let it be under
stood that this government will not al
low its proper interests in China to be
injured by the action of any of the pow
ers that may choose to remain obdurate.
ONE POWER MAY BOLT.
At least one of the greatest powers is
under strong suspicion here of acting
cold-bloCdedly and without regard to SEN
timent of anything more than the most
material of considerations 1t is believed
here that this power is quietly taking
measures to drop out of the league at
Iien Tsin, and conduct a campaign on its
account against Pekin, and 1t is even sus.
pected that this power is already moving
troops toward the Chinese capital.
One fact regarded as now beyond need

Chinese appeal is that the Chinese Off
