MOST ALARMING SITUATION.

The situation in China. according to the latest news, is most alarming. Ii is probable that every foreigner ill Pekin, including all ambassadors and women and children as well. have, before this time, been murdered by the savage mob. Couriers who have come from there to neighbOring towns give vivid but fragmentary pictures of what is being enacted in the capi- tai. The latest ones from there left about June 2G and report that the heads of some of the captured lega- tions guards were being born through the streets at the top of spears, fol lowed by zealots chanting "Kill for eign devils, kill, kill
 The city's millions have been arOus- ed to patriotic fever, breaking out in the widest excess, while oyer half the city could be heard fighting around the legations.
 
 by the correspondent of the Associat- ed Press at Shanghai, supplemented the tragic sentences of the dispatch he bore by a narrative of some things he saw. He says the foreigners were making their last stand in the eXten- sive buildings and enclosures of the British legation. Among them were some women and children. All were short of food, even of the cOmmonest necessaries. The women were starv- ing, as they gave part of their small allowances to the children. The for eigners, nevertheless, were holding out under a terrible fire, upheld by the hourly expectation of relief.
 Another dispatch from Shanghai says the Chinese reports are current that two other foreign ministers were murdered the same day as Baron vOn Ketteler. but their names are not given.
 The legations are in such eXtremities from lack of provisions that the wO- men who escaped the bullet are perish ing of starvation. Ii Hung Chang has requested the United States gov ernment to take him to Tien Tsin.

 Causing Such Fires.

A circular issued from the general land office has been received at the Prescott land office. directing special attention to the laws of congress passed May ]. to prevent forest fires on the public domain.
 Registers and receivers. United States land offices, special agents and forest officers. general land office. are enjOined to promptly report to the proper United States attorney all in formation they may receive relative to the violation of the provisions of this law. The law reads as follows. Be it enacted by the Senate and
 House of Representative of the
 United States of America in con greSS assembled.
 That an act entitled An Act to Pre- vent Forest fires On the Public DO- main,' approved February 2S. 1897. be. and the same is hereby. amended so as to read as follows:

HOW THEY HARMONIZE.

Anti-eXpansiOnists are to support Bryan because they believe the United States has no moral or legal right to sovereignty in the Philippines, and because the election of Bryan would result in our abandonment or those islands.
 EXpansiOnists are to support Bryan because. as the Courier-JOurnaIcl claims, he would hardly in any event ven ture upon the dangerous experiment of hauling down the American flag anywhere"
 Free silverites are to support Bryan in order that the hints of the United States may be opened to the free and unlimited coinage of silver dollars having a value of less than 70 cents apiece
 Sound money men are to support Bryan because the gold standard law has been passed. which would cause difficulty and delay his scheme to place the finances of the country on silver basis.-ROchester, x. Y.. Demo crat.

J. (. MARTIN, - Editor and Proprietor
BRYAN AS A WET NURSE.

The democratic platform enunciat- ing the alleged doctrines of that party. says:
 We oppose militarism. It means conquest abroad and intimidation and oppression at home. It means the strong arm which has ever been fatal to free institutions. It is what millions of our citizens have fled from in Europe It will impose upon our peace-loving people a large standing army. an unnecessary burden of tax atiOn and a constant menace to their liberties. A standing army and a well-disciplined state militia are am ply sufficient in time of peace. This republic has no place for q vast mill tary service and conscriptiOn. When the nation is in danger the volunteer soldier is his country's best defender.
 In another plank the statement is made:
 We favor an immediate declaration of the nations purpose 10 give to the Filipinos: first, q state of government; second. independence, and third. pro lection from outside interference. such as has been given for nearly a century to the republics of Central America"
 If protection to the Philippines, as an independent nation would not re quire militarism. the history of the world would be reversed. An honest. frank avowal of favOring the with drawal of our troops from the Philip pines and of leaving that people to iake care of themselves might have met q responsive echo in the heart of many citizens, but this wet nurse proposition certainly cannot, although il will no doubt be accepted by the faithful as sound doctrine.
 It strikes Us that every true Ameri- can. if left to his own personal con victions. and unbiased by prejudice. would prefer the adoption of a young and promising nation by this govern ment, rather than have the govern ment officiate in the capacity of wei purse 10 it.

WEBSTER DAVIS. DEMOCRAT.

The democratic party will no doubt try to make quite a little political capital out of Webster Davis recent flop from the republican ranks, and we feel like apologizing to our read CTS for the space that we occupy in discussing the matter. Davis record is well known in Missouri. He has had meteOric career there, and when he left Kansas City to accept the pO- sitiOn of assistant secretary of the interior. it was predicted that he would be short lived, and the truth of the prediction has been verified. The Kansas City Star. an independent pa per, has referred to him editOrially as a political montebank. Whether this be true or not We are not prepared to say, but there is little question but what Davis expected to stampede the democratic national convention and secure the nomination for vice-preSi- dent. In this he failed. as he did tC secure the nomination for governor in Missouri fin 1896. on the strength of the A. r. A. organization. His bid for the nomination of governor of Missouri is well known and the Hon. Chauncey I. Filley could perhaps tell some interesting history concerning secure the nomination for governor of and his alliance with Hon. R. C. given to Archbishop Ireland in Wash ington on the eve of his departure for Europe. in which he said: Garry a message to the pope at Rome that America and her institutions honor, love and revere his holy name" is also history. The democrats are entitled to all the glory they can get out of their new-found friend, who has been noted for his political inconsistencies. Davis. in his speech at Kansas City, charged that the administration was in a secret alliance with Great Britain and asserted that the same had never been denied.
 It has also been charged that Davis was in the employ of the South Afri- can republics at so much per speech, and he has never denied the charge. Be this true or not, the thought ap- peals to the average thinking man, prompted only by sympathy. He may be honest in this and he may not He may not have shot his own hat for political effect, either. all of which we leave to the thoughtful consideration of the public.

ECHOES FROM KANSAS CITY.

William J. Bryan was nominated July 16 by the democratic national convention in Kansas City The delegates assembled in Kansas City with the ayOwed intention of nOminat- ing him on July 1. as a sort of pre- text of patriotism. but on getting to- gether it was found that 3 number of differences existed in the party which It was first necessary to reconcile. so that sentiment was sacrificed for at tempted harmony.
 With their experience of four years ago q large proportion of the delegates favored a silence on the free coin age of silver at the ratio of 16 to l. without the consent of any other ma fjon op earth.'' but their ideal and idol set hls loot down and fiatly in formed the delegates that plank must be inserted, and it is announced that if has been done.
 Among those who seconded Mir. Bryan's nomination was T. c. Norris, of Prescott, who is quoted as saying, among other things:
 "I am instructed on behalf of the democracy of Arizona to second the nomination of William ]. Bryan. We want freedom by our admission into the sisternOOd of states along with you. We see the star of our hope in him, our greatest living American"
 Soothing salve was administered 10 the sore spot on David B. Hill's cuticle and he is said to have been recOnciled and on behalf of New York seconded Bryan's nomination, in terms which made the strongest speech of the con- gentfOn.
 But meager reports have been receiv- ed as to the platform. but as it has already been outlined by Mir. Bryan its contents are as well known as though it had been read in full.

DENNIS HELD TO ANSWER.

Same Dennis had his preliminary examination yesterday before Justice ]. M. w. Moore on the charge of at tempting to shoot Max Alwens. at the Senator. last Friday. The testimony showed that Dennis was the aggres- SOr and came very nearly having a more serious charge to answer for, as one or two of the bullets from his pistol went uncOmfOrtably near Mir and Mrs. AlwenS. Instead of using a Winchester, as heretofore reported. Mir. AlwenS used q shotgun loaded with bird shot. some of which took effect in various portions of Dennis anatomy. The defendant did not in trOduce any testimony and on the showing made by the prosecuting wit ness. Justice Moore held Dennis. un- der 5000. to answer to the grand jury.

A TRUST DISSOLVES.

The following statemeDt has beer. is sued by President Henry Burn. of the National Wall Paper company:
 Although the company has now been in existence for eight years. anl has done q large business, its profits have not been commensurate with the expectations of the stockholders, due to the fact that it's existence has 10 such an extent stimulated competition that the namber of plants engaged :n the manufacture of wall paper has in that period doubled"
 May not the above in a certain meas ure, be the solution of the trust prob lem. in so far as it applies to many in dustrial transactions. Take for the iIi- stance the tobacco trust. The sd-
