Chinese Envoy Denied Use of Telegraph.

Chinese Envoy Denied Use OF Telegraph.
The German foreign Office has with
drawn from the Chinese minister in
Berlin the right to use the telegraph
Tor secret messages. The step is un-
precedented, but was rendered neces-
sary by the abnormal relations between
Germany and China. The regular
chinese troops are in the field against
the derman troops. 1t also remains
unknown whether the government
from which the Chinese minister was
accredited still exists.

RUSSIA DECLARES WAN.
Chinese Envoy Handed His Passports and
Requested TO Leave the Country.

Chinese Envoy Handed His Passports and
Requested to Leave the Country.
The Chinese invasion of the Amur
province is equivalent to declaration
OF war against Russia, which, con-
strueting 1t as such. has handed the
Chinese envoy at St. Petersburg his
passports and requested him to leave
the country, along with the members
of his mission.
The Importance of this lies In the
fact that it virtually releases the car
from his obligations to the foreign
powers to act in concert with them In
China
He is placed thereby in position to
act Independently and not only with
reference to the defense OF his domin-
ions against the Chinese invasion, but
also as regards the carrying of war into
the enemy's country and an eventual
march upon Pekin.
Should Russian army, proceeding
from Siberia, reach Pekip and capture
1t before the allies could get to 1t from
the Pacific coast, the czar would be
able to dictate terms to China inde-
pendently OF the other powers, and
without any regard to their wishes
virtually establishing himself as master
of the country.
The British and German govern
ments, alarmed at the idea of this
eventuality, have practically decided
to abandon the policy which they have
pursued until'now, and TO declare war
upon the Chinese government. France
and the United States are expected to
follow suit Immediately.

FUSION DEFEATED IN IDAHO.
POPULiSTS AND DEMOCRATS
COULD NOT AGREE.
Occur d'Aiene Affairs the Bone of Conten-
tion-Democrats and silver Republicans
Unite - Popuiists go 1t Alone.

After numerous sessions and confer
ences lasting through four and half
days between the fusion forces in Ida
ho, complete union of issues and men
failed because of demands nude by the
Populists which the Democrats would
not accede to. The Democrats and
Silver Republicans joined issues and
united on a ticket, the senator and
secretary of state going to the Silver
Republicans, the Democrats taking the
rest.
The conventions of the three parties
met at different halls in Pocatello
Tuesday noon, and after completing
organization and appointing conference
committees adjourned. The first con-
test in the Democratic convention was
over the Coeur d'Alene delegation,
which resulted in seating the one OPP
posed to the state administration of
affairs in that county.
The chief cause which defeated per-
feet fusion was the Coeur dAlene
troubles. The Populists demanded as
their portion the governor, secretary
OF state and attorney-general--in other
words the state pardoning board-and
one elector. The Democrats would
concede nothing which would place the
miners of the north in control of the
pardoning board, nor that would re-
fleet in any way on Governor Steunen-
berg's administration of affairs in
Shoshone county. As final effort at
fusion, the Populists agreed to be sat
isfied with resolution denouncing
Steunenberg's administration Of affairs
so far as the trouble with the miners
were concerned, but the Democrats
voted 1t down unanimously.
Both parties proceeded to name
tickets as follows:

Growth of Railroads.

''Poor's Manual of Railroads" for
1900 has very interesting review OF the
developments of railroads in this coun-
try. The railroad system In the United
States had Its birth with the conception
Of the Baltimore & Ohio in 1928. In
noting the beginning of the construction
Of this road, which, at one time, was
considered as almost impossible. the
Manual says: 1.-THE day was appropri-
ate to the occasion. 1t was July 4, and
the ceremony of breaking ground was
performed by the venerable Charles
Carroll, of Carrollton, the only surviv-
Ing signer of the Declaration of hide
pendence.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad when
1t first opened for traffic was operated
by, horse power. but steam locomotive
traction was speedily substituted.
In 1885, seven years after the COM
mencement Of construction on the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad. there were in
operation In the United States 1908
miles of railroad. of which nearly all
were in the states bordering on the
Atlantic Ocean. Five years later the
system had nearly trebled in extent, the
lines then beginning to head toward
the interior"
What marvellous progress has been
made since then: 1t has not been so
very long ago since the Wheeling street
cars were drawn by horse power, and
. the first train that pulled into Wheeling
over the Baltimore & Ohio, events that
are within the memory of some citizens
who are not boasting OF their old age.
Another railway system that did
much to bring Wheeling "out of the
woods" was the construction of the
Pennsylvania railroad. which was be-
gun In 1S47. While 1t did not in years
gone by have terminal facilities in this
city, having then Bridgeport for: It's
unloading place. to-day it Is at our
doorstep.
In the next ten years what a great
story will be written of railroad growth,
not only OF the country at large. but Of
west Virginia in particular.

Bahamas ASS.

Senator James K. Jones. OF the state
Of Arkansas. where Coin" Harvey pro-
poses to seclude himself from 4 too in
quisitive critical public. has finally de-
Nvered himself on the results OF the re-
cent election. Mr.. Jones, as chairman
OF the Democratic national committee
awaited himself of all the opportunities
OF making an ass OF himself
during the campaign, and, like the OBJ
stlnate Democrat he Is. he persists In
continuing in that role. But there is
one good word to be said for Jones, and
that Is his admission that the result
was a surprise. He says: 1.-THE election
result was great surprise 10 all Dem
ocrats. All we're SO confident OF sue
cess that the sweeping Republican VIC
tory came as severe shock. Even on
the evening OF the day before eletion re.
assuring kilograms came from leaders
that New York was safe for Bryan and
from leaders In other pivotal states that
the Democrats were sure to win, II
was these forecasts that buoyed us up
to the last moment. and made the act
ual result more startling"
The trouble with Mr.. Jones and his
party OF half-brecd Democrats was that
they depended too much on prejudice
and party fcalty. They also tried to
bunco the people. In fact, they imar-
ihad that patriotism was dead. Mr..
Bryan and his idolatrous following in
suited the intelligence OF the country
and that insult was resented. No sane
man believed that New York would cast
It's vote for Bryan, but Croker made
Jones think so, Just as ''Jlm" Miller
tried to make the gullibles In Yves.
Virginia believe thar the Democrats
would triumph In this state. 1T was
these forecasts" says Mr.. Jones, ''tha /
buoyed us up" and In this the Arkan.
sas senator clearly shows his !ncompa.
tency as n leader.
with all his talking Mr.. Jones falls tn
give the true reason OF Mckinlcy,s

and opportunIsts who are using and
