LONDON, Aug. II. S:45 a. ma cable
gram to Viena from Hong Kong an
nounces the capture of Pekin, but the
Austrian government, like other Europe
an powers, is still without confirmation
of this report. An official telegram, dated
Taku, Aug. IA, has been received at Rome
which asserts that the attack on Pekin
began Monday; { dt Sir Claude Macdon-

communication with the relieving force,

headquarters at Tung Chow

advices announcing the capture Of Tung
Chau step further.
The Western powers, according to a
dispatch to the Daily Express from Kobe,
have accepted the proposals formulated
by Japan for arranging an armistice de-
pendent upon the immediate delivery of
the foreign legations to the allies or the
granting of permission to the allied forces
to enter Pekin and to guard the legations
Upon these bases, the correspondent says,
Japan has already begun to negotiate.
Shanghai dispatches declare that the
Chinese had intended to make a final at
tack upon the legations last Sunday, but
whether the plan was carried out is not
known there.
From the same place comes the state
ment that Vice Admiral Seymour and
Brig Gen. Creah have Joined in the pro-
test against the withdrawal Of the Brit
ish troops. All the morning papers which
comment on the subject appeal to Lord
Salisbury not to withdraw thsm, and dl-
late upon the serious results of such ac-
ton to British prestige.
American negotiations looking to a ces-
sation of hostilities also receive consid-
cradle attention, favorable and otherwise,
but all the editorials agree that too pre-
eipitate a withdrawal from Pekin after
the delivery of the legations would have
a bad effect upon the Chinese mind.
The consensus of opinion expressed by
the morning papers tends to the belief
that the legations are now safe with the
allies.
Describing the capture of Ho 81 Wu,
special dispatch says that the headgear
of the Americans was quite insufficient
for the awful heat, and that the conse-
quences were direful.

No "GoId Ticket Called For.

New York World.
The talk of nominating Gold Demo-
crat" Presidential ticket this year should
and most probably will end in talk
There is no occasion for such a ticket
nant issue in the campaign. This year,
though 1t may be talked about in certain
sections, it will not be an issue at ALL
because this money question is settled
for at least four years to come by an
Interchangeable Republican majority in the
Senate.
In 1896 the coinage was an open ques-
ton. 1t has since been closed for the
present by the enactment of gold stand
ard law which no possible result of the
pending election can repeal Yet when
the issue was most alive and threatening
the Presidential ticket of the Sound Mon
ey Democrats received only a pitifu 49,
424 votes out of total of nearly IA, 000, 000
Most of the Democrats whose opposition
to free silver was strong enough to pre-
vent them from supporting Bryan voted
directly for Mckinley, as they would do
again this year were the issue and the
danger the same.
But the issue is not the same The
danger is different and vastly more por-
tentous. This country can endure any
change in it's currency. Such changes
though they may cause much disturb
ance to business and great pecuniary
losses, do not touch the foundation nor
affect the structure of our government
But Imperialism, Militarism and Monop-
oily, the real and only issues in the cleo
ton, strike at the basic principles and
threaten the very existence of the Re-
public.
A country with subject possessions
secured by conquest and governed by
force is not a republic. And where plu-
tocracy rules democracy becomes merely
a name, without force or effect.
1t is for these reasons that a third
ticket this year is not only uncalled for
but would be even more farcical than it
was in 1896. Mr. Bryan, who. as the
World said two months ago, will be re-
nominated by reclamation. represents the
American and therefore the democratic
side of these living. burning, dominating
issues. He is for this reason entitled to
and will receive the support of the World
and of all who believe with us that 1.-The
only issue worth considering in this cam
paign is the preservation of the Republic,
the maintenance of the Constitution and
a return to the principles of the Declara-
ton of Independence"

A REMARKABLE CASE.

There is rather a remarkable state
of affairs in the Thirteenth ward Of
Pittsburg. They have ward School
Boards up there, and Samuel B.
Waughter was treasurer of this par
ticular Board. He was paid no sal
airy, but in lieu thereof was permit
ted to use the school funds for any pur-
pose he desired" a very convenient
arrangement for Waughter, but very
bad one for the people. 1t also appears
that the last time his books were
audited was in 1896, when through a
clerical error the treasurer was given
credit for 81 500 too much. He prompt
ly invested this windfall in real estate.
Later the error was discovered, ap-
parently by accident, and in four years
the treasurer claims he paid back
$1,000, just as he happened to have the
money. But the old method was con-
tinued, Mr.. Waughter keeping his pub
lie and private accounts in the same
books, and the inevitable result is an
embezzlement of unknown proportions,
the record book is lost" Mr.. Waugh
ter is in Jail, and the Trust Company
on his bond for $4,000 declines to pay,
on the ground that the bond will not
hold because the method of book-keep-
ing was not made known to the COM
pany 1t looks very much as though
the joke was on the taxpayers, but
what way of transacting public bus
mess!

The Havana correspondent of the
Boston Herald, after careful study of
the rascality in Cuba since our occupa-
ton of the island, concludes that the
fault is in the system rather than in
the officials, meaning that methods
which place large sums of money In
private hands, without checks or re-
straints, result in temptations to which
men give way. This Is probably the
truth, but why was that system adopt
ed? And why is it persisted in? And
why is it so difficult to have the guilty
punished? And lastly, why has infor-
nation as to wrong-doing been sup
pressed?

THE NEXT HOUSE.

The more Republicans figure on the
next House of Representatives the
more certain they are that they are
destined to lose control of that body.
A Republican loss of not less than
twenty-five Congressman in the middle
and western States is admitted BY
party leaders who have gone carefully
over the ground, but they hope to
make gains of fifteen or sixteen seats
in the East. Democratic students of
the situation, however, say the ground
now held in the East will be main
tanned through gains and losses in that
section being equalized, while predict
ing the capture OF at least thirty dis
tricts in the West and South now rep
resented by Republicans This will
put different complexion on the
House of Representatives, and will be
a good thing for the country at large.

cratic President as well.

JAPAN AND RUSSIA.

Reliable news from both st. Peters
burg and Toxic is very difficult to OBJ
tain, but a careful study of the little
that is allowed to leak out shows that
Japan and Russia are upon the verge
of war, and its declaration by the ISL
and Empire may come any day. The
trouble has been brewing for a long
time, and the cause is Russia's course
toward Japan in Korea, where the
Cars word is as much law as it Is in
European Russia or Siberia. To such
an extreme has Russian influence been
carried at Seoul that the Japanese min
lister is not officially recognized by the
government, and Japan has been humil-
lated and injured TO an extent almost
beyond belief, and no longer bearable.
That war was not declared long ago is
due to the unsettled state of Japanese
politics, and lack of ready financial
resources, but the first matter has been
adjusted, and the money problem is
also believed to also have been par
TALLY solved. At all events there is a
distinct impression in the diplomatic
world that the crisis is at hand. some
well-informed persons even going so
far as to assert that a Japanese ulti-
matum is in the hands of the minister

The turkey eats all the time he is

ating" the election of members of the
Legislature, one would think the In
telligencer would keep its four by six

because Judge John H. Holt, the

be permitted to do So" and pretends

Special to the Register
PARKERSBURG, w Va. June ia
The old soldiers are up in arms over
the defeat of Freer by the ring at the

They say the only official of any kind
who can be of benefit to them is the
Congressman and that Romeo Freer.
himself an old soldier, has carefully
looked after their interests while in
Congress. They resent his defeat as
a personal snub of every veteran in
the district and are outspoken in their
denunciation of the party's treatment
of the soldier vote-which it always
counts on at election time.
The Freer people are all pretty sore
over the way he has been treated. He
mad been led to believe that the ring
would not oppose him, and he has let

publican councils stating that they
were for him, whose influence was ex-

which Freer was downed. as though
there was a good deal of truth in the
assertion made recently by one of the
personal representatives of A. B.

treatment at his hands and that White
did not care for Freer's support
