At last the truth is out a private
letter from Porto Rico says that every
body there is pleased with the new
tariff except one man. That man is the
British consul at San Juan, Mr. Finley,
who had bought up all the sugar and
tobacco in sight, anticipating its free
entrance into the United States. No
wonder the Democrats in Congress
were so anxious for a free trade with
Porto Rico. They were up to their old
tricks of trying to fling the benefits of
the American market into the laps of
the British, just as they did by the
Wilson bill.

Democrats who are so eager to show
their hostility to Great Britain by try
ing to involve the United States in
war with that country on account Of
the Beers in South Africa, are at the
same time doing their utmost to secure
the passage of an act of Congress that
would permit British built ships to be
registered as American. Democratic
preaching is different from Democratic
practice.

Formal orders for the dispatch to the
east of more than 6,000 troops from the
army posts in the United States was
manifestation of the energy with which
the government is about to take in the
Chinese matter. True, these troops are
nominally destined for the forces to re-

is admitted that they are being sent out

Possibly Consul General Goodnow's
cablegram representing the legationers
as being alive as late as the Sd inst. may
have had something to do with this rad
ical action. Whatever the cause, if these
troops are landed in China, together with
the Ninth infantry supposed to be now

force in action commensurate with our

ed that the foreign re-enforcements, in

they are landed ut all, in season to finish
the work that may he left by the Japa-
nese. The orders to the troops will it is
believed mt the state department. have
an Indirect but most important effect on
the situation as Il whole in China. Once
the great viceroys of central and south
ern China become satisfied that the for
eign lcgions are actually coming in force
they may be counted upon to take the
warning to themselves and continue to
observe neutrality at least Evidently
Consul General Goodnow's suggestion
has had its effect, for he pointed out him
self the beneficial effect that the addi-

Tien-tsin LIS Serious.

London, July S.-There is nothing in

ray of hope regarding the fate of the le-

dispatches from Washington and mes
sages from other sources indicating that
the legations were still standing on July
3 and that recent attacks by the Boxers
had been slight.
News from other points was distinctly
disquieting. A report from Chefu, dat
ed July Z, says that Catholic bishop,
two priests and two nuns had been muir
dered. A report from Moukden, dated
July ), says that a Danish mission at
Hinyung had been surrounded by Box
ers. According to the report it would
be possible TO hold out only two days.
"A party of Cossacks residents of Mouk-
den and the British consul had started
for the relief of those besieged at the
Danish mission.
The situation at Ticn-tsn ON July
is said to have been most serious. Japa-
nese and Russian forces are reported TO
have been hurrying there from Taku,
but according to some accounts mutual
-distrust exists between the allies.
A report from Shanghai, dated July 6,
says that the British warships are Wig
ilantly watching for the purpose of pre-

An Attenlnted MURDER.

Trenton. July S.--Ihc village of Yard
vile. about nine miles from Trenton, is
greatly excited over an attempted murder
which took place there. Mrs. Rcbccca

Thomas 12-year-old daughter Alice was
beaten over the head with the butt of his
revolver when the girl jumped between

brought to the st. Francis hospital in this
city and has about an even chance of re-
coveringA- The daughter is also in pre-
carious condition, and it is believed that
her skull is fractured. Mrs. Thomas
lived in Trenton apart from her husband.
Until day or two ago Nelson boarded
with her, but was ordered out for not
paying his board. Saturday he followed
the woman and her daughter, who were
going to a picnic, and pleaded to be tax
en- along. They refused, and he fired
four shots at the woman, two taking eff
feet. He then attacked the daughter.

which startled every one in Norfolk was
heard. Captain Hall said that while the
thunder rang in his ears he saw what
seemed to be the CAESARS meal pennant
blow in shreds from her forepeak out
over the water and settle in the river.
The bolt of lightning passed down the
collier's foremast, cutting a. spiral groove
in the pine mast as it curled toward the
ships deck. No one aboard was hurt, SO
far as the tugmen could discern. The
occurrence has not yet been officially re-
ported to the commandant of the Norfolk

should be congratulated upon procuring
such a good show-Sheridan and Forrest,
the closing act, is sure to please. Master
Lavender, the wonder, will be a great
attraction for the children. This boy,
who is only five years old, can answer
any question within reason that the
audience may ask him. He has met with
great success in all the larger vaudeville
houses in this country. Kitty Roster,
the sharp shooter and wire walker,
should certainly entertain the younger
element who attend the performance for
she is one of the cleverest performers in
the country. La Clair, the tramp, will
make everyone laugh, and last, but not
least, comes Clark and Candy, the up
to-date entertainers, who will certainly
make hit. The performance begins at
SIS p. m. sharp. A great many people
get out so late that they miss the best
part OF the show.

SPANISH CANNON LOADED.

Special to The Sun.
Dover, Del, July S.-Some weeks ago
the question was raised as to whether
the captured Spanish cannon "Procon-
sul," which was loaned by the govern.
ment to the town of Dover, was loaded.
AT that time investigation was made and
1t was found to be both spiked and
empty, therefore, harmless. Since then
it has been loaded and loaded up to the
muzzle, though not with ammunition
used in ordinary warfare, but rather
with novel mixture of brickbats and
cement, and at the instance of one of the
members of Dover Town Council whose
dwelling would make a fine target from
its present position.
This same city father has been greatly
exercised as to the position of the gun
ever since it has been mounted, and his
excuse for having it stopped up came
when some small boy put giant cannon
cracker in the mouth of it and fired it
off. Early the next morning the cannon
was loaded with brickbats and cement,
and now stands disfgured relic to ap-
pease the foolish feais of one man, acting
without authority.
This cannon was not given TO the town
OF Dover by the government, but was
simply loaned, and it is probable that
the Secretary of War may remove it.

Delcasse, replying to questions; said:
"Japan has expressed to us its desire
to act in accord with the other powers
and do nothing without them. France
has informed the japanese government
that it will see with pleasure the coop
GRAFTON of Japan in the common cause.'
As concerns state of war Nj. Delcasse
said:
"To whom could war be declared? The
imperial government appears to have
been abducted or imprisoned by the reb-
els, but the viceroys do not seem dispos-
ed to obey the rebel chiefs"
The minister then explained the dan
gers of declaration of war for the Eu-
ropeans in China, saying that, moreover,
a declaration of war could not be an
isolated act, and France had no reason
to take the initiative, which might arouse
the groundless suspicion that she had
interior motives.
M. Delcasse referred to the death OF
the German minister, Baron Won Ket-
teller, 'who died II victim of duty" and
eulogzed NJ. Pichon, the French minis
ter at Peking. He said he hoped the re.

troops of the Eighth cavalry and four
companies from the Tenth infantry will
replace the Fifth infantry in the depart
ment work.
The local newspapers deplore the de-
parture of the Fifth infantry on account
of the personal popularity of the officers
and the good department of the men, but
the newspapers unite in saying that the
withdrawal Of the troops is an indication
of the early removal of the intervening
forces from the island of Cuba and the
establishment of Cuban republic.
