company came down town Immediately
upon hearing of the accident, and
showed a deep interest in having the
body cared for, and getting at the
cause of the dreadful occurrence.
Stevenson was one of our best men, ."
said he, and had been in the employ
of the company as far back as / can
remember. 1t astonishes me to think
how he could have neglected turning
off the current, as he was Usually very
careful about handling tie wires or
anything pertaining to chem. He
understood his business thoroughly
too, and it is inexDlcable that he
should make such a serious oversight.
Each arc light" explained Mr..
Campbell, has a switch just uT Ter
the shade, by which the current going
into that light is controlled. Whenever
one of the Hnemen puts in new car
bOns he shuts off the current and after
that Is done, it is impossible for him
to receive any shock from that source.
Received 4 800 Volts.
IN this case, it is evident that Steven
son neglected to do this. He probably
had taken hold of the lower carbon and
was removing it with his right hand
when he grasped the rod running down
the left side with his left hand. If 50,
he received the entire voltage of $500
running through the arc circuit. Few
men have survived such shock.

Copyright, 1900, by the Associated Press)
London, June 9.-The financial sirua-
ton arising from the Chinese disturb
ances is by no means satisfactory to
those who have any large holdings.
One curious feature, in the opinion held
by many fnaneiers, is that if the present
disturbance portends opening up China,
it also portends an inestimable increase
in circulation of silver, with the ae-
companying tendency to put that metal
on a parity with gold. A we'll known
American financier in London eX-
planned this to a representative of the
Associated Press, pointing out the fact
that copper is now the general medium
of exchange in China. With the in
crease of Europeans these cumbersome
tokens would naturally be done away
with and silver introduced in the most
populous country in the world. On
this basis there has been strong I'M
dertone in the silver market with in
teresting discussions on the POSSIBLE
ties of the increased use of silver.
With the exception of the discussion
as to the possible part the United
States may play in assisting Great
Britain in pulling the chestnuts out of
the fire in the far east little interest
is being taken in Great Britain in
American affairs. The presidential

Great Interest in China.
The Chinese situation, which, at the
beginning of the week, was merely
small cloud on the International horI-
zon, now overshadOws every other top
ic. England, according to most au-
thOrities. save those who control her
foreign policy, is face to face with a
crisis in far eastern affairs, which.
though it may not result in any inn
mediate partition of China, must de-
termine the part that England shall
play when the partition eventually oe-
ours. That such an emergency should
have arisen at a moment when Eng
land * least able to utilize it, when
almost all her land forces are 5,00O
miles from home. and when there IS
q paramount necessity for keeping an
extra strong fleet in European waters,
is depIored by all shades Of statesmen
and politicians.
Salisbury's Stand Explained.
Lord Salisbury stands almost alone
amidst his own party in believing that
the results of the Boxer outbreak VIII
be neither serious nor permanent. The
attitude he adopts towards the unani-
nous agitation for more strenuous ao-
ton is voiced by On intimate friend,
who said to a representative OF the
Associated Press:
Lord Salisbury believes we should
he thankful for small mercies.- The
co-operation of diplomats and author
tiles on the spot seems perfect ana
unusually harmonious. So long as this
satisfactory state of affairs continues
he will be eninently satisfied and Will
take no other steps, unless one or sew
eraI of the powers ask Great Britain 5
assent to a scheme which appears feas-
ible. or unless Russian aggression pc
comes much more apparent than IL is
TODAY. When these contingencies oc-
Cur or the representatives of various
nations at Pekin fail to agree, then
will Lord Salisbury assume the initia-
tive At present he is agreeably sur
nrised at the smooth progress OF the
negotiations at the seat of the disturb
ances and implicitly trusts in Sir
Claude Macdonald, the British minis
ter to China.
War Is Feared.
It might be added that Great
Britain's premier is not particularly
optimistic regarding the length Of time
the various ministers and admirals in
the far east will cooperate SO admir-
ably. But Lord Salisbury is far too
philosophic to borrow troubles. In the
meanwhile the members of every en-
hassy in London and every club, to say
nothing of the stock market. are dis
cussing eagerly the prospects of war
between two powers arising from the
Pekin troubles. It is the old cry OF

formed people are greatly inclined to

the sympathy of a great majority of

fighting for liberty will look in vain TO

All Should Express Sympathy.
1T is hard to understood the feelings
of the man who has for the Boer

heard a very able sermon, which has
always chung by me, on the text: As
he thinketh, so he is. Why should any
American citizen who feels for the
Beers fail to express himself? l do not
see how one can do other than choose
the cause Of the two republics in pref
erence to that Of a monarchy; an Amer
.ican citizen who has lived under and
has learned to love and venerate our
form Of government.
There comes a time when the mil
lions of American people have that
privilege of rising and casting their
ballots to carry out their wishes, and
when those ballots are next counted
believe that they will be an expression
of the American people for these people
fighting for their independence.
we know by history that as mon
archy increases. so government by the
consent Of the people decreassS. and
that as government by the consent Of
the people increases, so monarchy de-
creases. We know that if a monarchy
overcOmes these two republics. govern
ment by the consent of the people
ceases.
Liberty VIII Win in End.
1T is said that the blood of the
martyr is the seed of the church. If it
is found that these republics shall be
