Three men appeared before a judge
In Honan, China, and each laid claim
to the same woman as his wife. Not
one of them would retire In favor OF
the other two, but each insisted that
Justice should be done to him. Finally
the judge exclaimed, "Well, If you
three men cannot come to some agree
ment nothing remains for me but to
order that the woman shall be killed,
us there Is no other way in which the
matter can be satisfactorily settled"
He then called for large cup of wine,
and when 1t was brought he poured in
to 1t some dark powder and compelled
the woman to drink it. Excited as she
was, the woman speedily began to feel
the effect of the strong liquor She
stammered when she tried to speak,
and her flushed cheeks were an indica-
ton to the observers that the poison
was working and that her end was
near at hand
This was the climax for which the
Judge had waited. When he saw that
the woman was apparently dying, he
called one of the three men who claim
ed her as wife and bade him remove
her from the courtroom. This man,
however, showed no inclination to do
so, and the judge thereupon insisted
that he renounce MI rights to her. This
he willingly did and so did the second
man. Only one claimant was now left
and he agreed to remove the woman
and to care for her until she died. Sat
isfied that he was her real husband
the judge called him and said: "You
VIII not be sorry for acting in this
manner. Have no fear for your wife,
since she Is in no danger of death. The
liquor which she has drunk was ordi-
nary wine, and the powder which
poured into it was nothing but brown
sugar."

To Hold Colombia Liable.

Of this country for the events of the last
few months, which ended in the death on
May 81 at Tumaco, Colombia, of Regi-
nald Paris, British subject. British Of
fetal representatives in Tumaco do not
hesitate to characterize the case as "a
brutal MURDER" for there can be no
doubt that Mr.. Paris died victim of the
treatment he suffered at the hands of
General Nincente Nicola, in charge of
the Colombian government forces near
Tumaco. Great Britain will be asked to
press a claim for 100000 damages in be-
half of Mr.. Paris estate, and the United
States will ask compensation for the loss
of a steam launch, the property of the
Manhattan Rubber Manufacturing com
pany, taken from him by General Mi
colta.

have sent another protest to President
Mckinley against the action of Collector
Rliss in refusing to allow them to store
goods free for an indefinite period in the
government building on the custom house
wharf. Under the Spanish regime they
had the privilege of leaving their goods
in the government warehouses and of re-
moving them at their convenience with
out paying for storage. Collector Bliss,
however, only permits them to leave their
goods on the wharf for six days and in
the storehouse for three days without
chnrge.

Another Secret Society Active.

acing activity on the part of the secret
society known as the Triads are causing
alarm. The Boxers are believed to be an
offshoot of the Triads, whose ramifica-
tions are widespread throughout the
southern provinces of China. The organ.
ization is distinctly antiforeign and anti
Mantchoo. and numbers Of Canton troops
are enrolled in It's ranks. A report is cur
rent in Canton that the Triads are pre-
pairing for night attack on the Shameen
and that the first sign will be the alb.
scondiBg of native servants. The great
est apprehension prevails, although at
present Canton is quiet. Many Trads
have been arrested in Hongkong during
the last few months.

THE COLOMBIAN WAR,
Rebels Said to De Ready to Sur
render.


Washington, July 2I.-The state de-
partment has received dispatch from
Mr. Gudger. the United States consul
general at Panama, saying that the Co
lombian Liberals or rebels had surrender
ed and that order prevailed. In another
dispatch he said that the protest of the
United States against the bombardment
of Panama had been effective.
This unexpected collapse of the Colon
bian insurrection after several important
rebel victories may result in decision
by the navy department not to send
war vessel to the west coast of the
isthmus. The nearest American war YES
sci is 1000 miles from Panama. Only
the battleship Iowa and the cruiser Phil
adelphia are on the Pacific coast. but
neither is available just now The Phla-
delphia is at sea with the Oregon naval
militia, and the Iowa needs repairs. 1t
would take either of these vessels 16
days to get to Panama from its present
position. Should it appear that danger
still exists of an interference of free com
munication across the isthmus, the cir
cumstances that caused the government
to protest against the threatened bonn
bardment, an effort will be made to get
one of these vessels to Panama. In any
event it is likely that either the cruiser
Chicago, Admiral Schley's flagship. or
the gunboat Wilmington will be sent to
Colon, on the east coast, so that she may
land bluejackets or marines, if their pres
ence is necessary, to keep transisthmian
communication open. The Chicago and
the Wilmington have left Ensenada, the
former for Montevideo and the latter for
Buenos Ayres.

FREELAND, Pa, JULY 27, 1900.
The Guard in Politics.

The announcement OF the appoint
ment OF Charles Miller to the major
generalship of the National Guard is
accompanied by some enthusiastically
frank expressions of opinion from
General Goblin, the senior brigadier
general. He treats the matter wholly
from the standpoint of the soldier.
Whatever may be General Gobin's
machine servility in politics his soldierly
qualities are conceded by all who know
him. With honorable experience in the
war, he has been for many years an en-
thusiastic and hardworking officer in
the organized militia of the state.
His consideration for the best inter-
ests of the organization is well shown in
the fact that he urged the reappoint-
ment OF General Snowden, brushing
aside the fact that General Snowden is
Democrat, and taking into account
only the good of the service. If for any
reason whatever-and no reason has
been given-General Snowden was to be
dropped upon the expiration OF his COM
mission, General Goblin had a right as
the senior brigadier to expect to be pro-
NOTED to the higher grade.
General Goblin properly characterlzes
the appointment made as a political one.
He knows, though he does not say so,
that it has been made under orders from
ex-senator Quay, who has been prompt
ed to it by Congressman Sibley, for Sib.
ley, like Quay, needs all the help in
politics he can get this year. In this
way the commissions in the National
Guard are to be-used for machine pur-
poses. There is not a real soldier in the
organization, no matter what his rank,
who viii not have feeling of resent
ment of this, and all will regard the in
PRODUCTION of politics as the beginning
OF Generalization and disintegration.
The appointment of the new major
general, made under the influence it is
and for political purpose only, is notice
from the commander-in-chief to all in
the guard-oflicers and enlisted men
that merit in the service and seniority oil
rank do not count in promotion against
the exigencies Of the machine, while the
present administration is in authority
