If a telegram from st. Petersburg,
of Sundays date, is to be relied upon,
a state of war exists between the Chi
nese Empire and the government of the
Gar.
It is stated that the Russian Foreign
Office has notified the Chinese minister
that diplomatic and official relations
with the Chinese Empire are at an end,
and the Chinese Minister and his sub
ordinates are requested to leave Rus
sian territory at once.
Various kilograms corroborate this
information.
Russia has called to. the colors the
reservists of the military districts of
Siberia, Turkestan and Semiretscinsk,
which extent from the Sea of Aral to
the Pacific, as stated in the Register
of yesterday. That eminent Russian
officer and strategist, General Drago-
miroff, is to lead the allied forces in
the march to Pekin from Tien Tsin,
according to a telegram from the Rus
sian capital, this being alleged to be
by agreement among the powers, while
the events recently occurring along the
valley of the Amur river indicate a
state of war beyond doubt.
The mobilization of the Russian
army in Asia indicates mat China is
to be attacked from the west and north
as well as from the east. Russian
troops will be poured into Manchuria
from all sides except the south, and the
Chinese will be taken front, flank and
rear. Things will happen within the
next few days, and we will know defin-
itely of the situation at Pekin as well
as whether the poewrs are going to act

A COMPARISON.

For genuine, Solid rasping discomfort
the sultry, blazing weather of the past
week has created a new record in Phila-
delphia. The suffering and loss due to
this week of fiery heat can scarcely be
estimated; and far sadder and more cal
amitous is the long death roll of victims
of sunstroke and excessive temperature.
Never could cool wave be more welcome
than that which sould bring relief to hui
mainly now in the steWing city.-Phila-
delphia Record.
From all the large cities, but partic-
ularly from those in the East, come
similar tales of suffering, loss and
death as effects of the heat during the
present month Of July. New York
alone scored seventy-one deaths in one
day as a direct result of the high tenn
perature, while the number of pros
trations ran into the hundreds. Here
in Wheeling it has been rather hotter
than in the big cities, yet we believe
there has not been one death in
Wheeling or its surrounding towns,
embracing a population of seventy
five or eighty thousand people, trace
able to heat, and possibly there has
not been a single case of prostration.
On four successive days the mercury
marked from 81 to 9S1a degrees, and
for weeks it was daily over 90, and yet
we have gotten along without further
trouble than the usual summer dis
comfort. And this is our annual sum-
mer record. The mercury in Wheel
ing has gone as high as 104 in the
shade without the loss of life, which
demonstrates pretty conclusively that
our people know how to take care of
themselves in torrid weather, are care
full as to what is eaten and drank, go
about their avocations quietly, and
preserve that placid condition of mind
which is one of the best safeguards
against heat apoplexy. Wheeling sets
up no claim to be a summer resort,
but hot weather has few terrors for
our citizens.

England says no more troops can be
spared from India for service in either
China or South Africa. At present 49,
600 English troops ordinarily on duty
in India are in South Africa and 1000
are on their way to China or have ar
rived there. Some of these are native
troops. There remain in India 1929
English troops and 129,963 native
troops under English officers and con-
troll. The inference is that India is
only kept loyal by the presence of
more, than 100000 armed men, and that
to withdraw any considerable portion
of them would be to endanger revolt.
England has long needed firm hand
in India. She will now need one in
South Africa, and the two combined
mean $4,000 men on war footing all
the time.

gency That would not only ensure US
against Inconvenience and loss through
accidents to machinery, which may
happen at any time, but would also
provide us with purer water, because
however muddy the river might be, the
water in a large storage reservoir
would have a chance to settle, and
could be drawn off pure. Had such
reserve of water been in existence dur
ing the pending trouble the citizens
would never have known there was
anything wrong, for the usual supply
coald have been furnished right along.
Some minor thoughts are suggested
by our recent unpleasant experience.
One is that there should be spare cast
ings and sections of pipe for the big
main from the works to the reservoir
kept at some convenient point on the
line. Another is, that it is big job to
attempt to hold back column Of water
two hundred and fifty or three hundred
feet high by propping a valve with
timbers. Still another is that more
adequate public notice should be given
of intended operations which may re-
suit in the cutting off of the water sup
ply. In hundreds of households in this
city the fact that the water would be
cut off was not known, and in hundreds
of others there was no adequate real
ization of the situation. In house after
house, taking one square with another,
throughout the city, the matter was
never heard of, the small newspaper
publications having been overlooked,
and result the family which made
modest preparations had to share the
supply stored in tubs, buckets and bath
tubs with neighbors who were caught
unawares. In one instance, which af-
fords a case in point, about $50 gallons
stored up by one family which took
precautions, was divided with half a.
dozen neighbors On Sunday, and as
result yesterday morning they were all
out, and had not even water to drink.
AS the Register remarked Yesterday
morning, criticism of the officials is not
intended They probably did the best
they could, and met with unforeseen
difficulties. But had the old pumping
station have been preserved, instead of
being sold for junk, the trouble would
have been tided over very nicely.
The revenues of the Water Board are
ample to warrant it in at once laying
down another line from the pumping
station to the reservoir and taking such
other. steps as experience and good
judgment may dictate, to the end that
the city may never again be subjected
to the peril, loss and inconvenience we
have just gone through. The two sur
viving members of the Board are capa-
BILE men, one of them has had long,
varied and honorable experience in this
department of the city government, and
the Superintendent is very able
man. Let them take counsel together,
and out of what we have just gone
through evolve a proper remedy against
repetition Think of what might have
happened Sunday night or yesterday
morning with bad fire and a high
wind

AN APOLOGY.

The Register yesterday morning was
published under very considerable diff
ficulties. There was no water supply
except such as could be procured in
barrels and in a street sprinkler tank,
and that had to be carried in buckets
to the boiler, and gotten into the
steam making device through an i'm
promptu apparatus rugged up hours
after midnight. The gas engine could
not be run, the type-setting machines
wouldn't go after midnight, and cleo
trio lights were not to be thought of.
From two o'clock to five the printers
struggled along, setting all sorts OF
type by hand, finding eases" where
they could, up stairs and down, and
when the paper was finally stuck to-
gether'' in some sort of shape the
problem of printing it was even
greater. The work was done, but it
took time, and this is the explanation
of the delay in delivery and the
apology Tor the general appearance Of
the issue. a newspaper is expected
to come out, Notwithstanding fire,
flood, cyclone death or other form of
disaster, and it generally does-but it's
pretty hard work, sometimes.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
A pALPABLE ERROR.

1t is now very apparent that the dis
mantling of the old pumping station at
the foot of Ninth street was a mistake
of the first magnitude. In emergencies
such as occurred Sunday and yester-
day, and which may happen again any
day, despite the greatest care, it would
and could save the city from a water
famine such as we have gone through
with SO much inconvenience and loss.
Had the old station been preserved in
tact, and been kept in shape to be fired
UP and started in few hours, with
the old reservoir on tap, there would at
least have been enough water for po-
table purposes, aud perhaps enough for
steam making and the running of eleva-
tors. electric light plants, gas engines
and the like
The city now has d magnificent new
pumping station, but it has been dem
onstrated that the whole community
is at the mercy of a single line of main
from tho station to the reservoir. Any
accident to that main cuts off the sup
ply of water, and the only reserve is
about 100000 gallons on top of Wheel
ing hill. That is about enough to last
the city during nine or ten hours of
ordinary consumption, but it cannot be
allowed to run out, because a reserve
must be kept in cases Of fire. In other
words, notwithstanding all the money
which has been spent on the new water
works plant in recent years, our eggs
are all in one basket, and the fracture
of a section of pipe or the blowing out
of joint sends us in moment back
to the primative condition when we
had to depend on wells and springs or
water was hauled from the river in
barrels.
The Wheeling water works is now
splendidly equipped with machinery for
pumping, at an ideal location. Two
more things are needed. One is a du-
pIicate line to the reservoir, so that in
case Of an accident to one pipe the other
may suffice. The second need is a
storage reservoir. We ought to have
at least Atty million gallons Of water
laid aside At AZ times IA case Of emer-
