THE EASTERN WAR.

London, July Ito the news in yes
terday's papers purporting to give de-
tails of the last fearful struggle for life
of the foreigners in Pekin which resulted
in their humiliation, is now added
story of the defeat of the allies in their
assault Friday on the native city of Tien
Tsin.
In the fighting the Americans bore
their part and suffered terrible loss.
Colonel Liscum of the Ninth infantry
together with 80 other officers and men,
were killed, and according to the chief
surgeon of the regiment Is percent Of
the men were wounded. Other nations
suffered in like proportions in the all-day
battle. AT dusk a final attempt was
made to carry the enemy's works, but it
failed.
In estimating the difficulties fronting
the allies it must be remembered that
while the native city, or city proper, Is
walled and we'll defended with embra-
sured positions for heavy artillery, the
European compound occupied by the
allies is without such means Of defense.
The settlement is surrounded by a low
mud wall, which could be easily scaled.
That these two disasters will have the
effect of adding fuel to the flame of re-
volt or anti-foreign agitation or what
ever the uprising may be called, certainly
is to be feared.
| Up to this morning there has been
no further news received regarding the
reported massacre at Pekin from any
source. In the house of commons last
evening, beyond an admission that there
was no ground for hoping that the report
was not true, Mr.. Broderick, parlia-
mentary secretary to the foreign office,
had nothing to communicate. An un-
usual hush fell upon the chamber when
the subject came up. A few members
dotted their hats, but otherwise there
was no demonstration.
kilograms from Shanghai and Che
| Foo indicate an increasingly serious
state of affairs. 1t is alleged that the
foreign consuls at Shanghai have cabled
] their governments that there is urgent
need of more warships to protect that
port, owing to the menacing attitude OF
the Chinese and the temptation to loot
the vast stores of merchandise recently
accumulated there. 1t seems that the
Chinese have already threatened to fire
the great oil tanks on the Pao Tung side
of the city.
From Che Foo comes the report that
the entire adult male population of the
three provinces of Chi Ii, Shan 81 and
Shan Tung are massing to defend Pekin
in the conviction that the powers mean
war. There is little doubt that fur
Their check of the allies at Tien Tsin
would be the signal for a general anti
foreign rising throughout China.

Northern Inconsistency.

The Philadelphia Enquirer presume
is representative northern paper and
in recent number shows the utter in
consistency Of that section on the negro
question. 1t contained two editorials
one condemning severely the Beers fol
their failure to allow civil rights and
privileges to the natives of Africa. The
other, in advocating the annexation OF
Cuba, assigns as reason the deplorable
results that would accrue to that island
should negro domination prevail there,
saying that it would be catastrophe
and that this country does not desire
another San Domingo near it.
theoretically the Enquirer, while de-
string negro equality on the other side
of the Atlantic ocean, favors the sup
preston of negro rights in Cuba, prob
ably because it considers that territory
as desirable field for northern immigra-
ton. We have here an apt illustration
of the fable in the old blue-back spell
ing book, concerning the lawyer and
the farmer, where an act was right or
wrong according to whose OK was gored
We of the south, from the northern
standpoint, are in the same boat with
the Beers on the negro question. The
English language has hardly been suffi-
cient as medium in which.to express
their indignation at the inhuman treat
ment accorded these unfortunate crea-
lures by the whites of this section.
There is this difference between the
Northern and Southern attitudes to-
wards the negro. The North makes
much OF him so for as words go, but
denies him the right to compete with
the white man in the struggle for ex-
istence, shooting him down by the
wholesale, as was done in Illinois, for
even presuming to ask for work. The
South, while not believing in social
equality, throws open all the avenues
of employment to him, where he may
without let or hindrance be the arbiter
of his own destiny. RADIUS VICTOR.

ABOUT THE VELVET BEAN.
Information In Regard to a Valuable
Forage Plant.

QUESTION. Please give me soma in.
formation about the velvet bean.
ANSWER. We have had no personal
experience with what is known as the
velvet bean, and what we shall write
will necessarily be taken from others
who have had such experience.
Mr.. A. p. Newheart of Ocones Fla.
writes that the pea or velvet bean has
been planted there for twenty years as
coverings for trellises and unsightly
places. The abundance OF vine and
foliage so completely covering the
ground after the frost, suggested the
idea of planting the bean in his orchard
grove as a manure instead of buying
commercial guanos. The result was so
satisfactory that he was induced to ex.
tend his experiment to other groves.
He was delighted with the showing.
His groves showed up we'll with those
on which he used fertilizers.
Tbs bean should be planted in April
or May, in middle Georgia, or about the
same time you plant field peas. Plant
as you plant che field peas; say from
three to five beans in place. from 10 to
IA inches apart in three feet rows.
When the bean begins to run, use the
plow or cultivator; one or two plowings
will be sufficient Tho average yield
per acre is from 10 to rs bushels of the
beans. The vines, which are abundant,
! can be used as forage for cattle or
horses, or they can be left on the land
to be turned under in the fall, which is
said to be very fine renovator of poor
exhausted lands. even betteR than the
pea vine.
Prof A A. Persons, Director Of the
Florida Experimental Station, gives the
following comparative analysis of the
velvet bean ard COW pea:

VELVET BEAN.
COW PEA.

This comparatively new plant may
prove to be Of great value as a forage
crop, live stock feed upon it with great
relish where 1t has been grown. How.
ever, any forage stuff which runs so
high in nitrogen as the velvet bean,
should be fed with some coarse food,
such as corn, fodder or corn stalk
shreds. If Mr.. Nswheart's plan of
planting this bean in orchards for
shade, mulch and fertilization, is a
success in Florida, why would not this
bean be success planted between the
rows of trees In the fruit orchards
in Middle and South Georgia?
