HANNA Is THE LAW.
Even the Republicans Astounded al the
Action of the Beers.

Washington. ID. C.. July 1S.-Pres-
ident Mckinley's decision that he
will handle the China situation with
ont asking congress TO exercise it's
admitted functions is an object les
son in Imperialism which conserva-
tive members of his own party fear
will hurt him before the American
elect crate.
The president and his campaign
managers. headed by Senator Hanna.
show a pronounced indisposition TO
summon an extra session ofcongress,
because they regard the law-making
body of the nation as a hindrance
to the plans they have in view for
meeting the situation in the Orient.
Senators and authorities upon the
constitution in both houses stand
aghast at Senator Hanna's startling
Interpretation of the powers vested
in the president They say that the
constitution prohibits the president
from taking money out Of the treas
ury on his own motion and that the
power TO declare war il vested in
congress only.
But the emperor OF expediency is
taking authority to pay out millions
of money and to send thousands OF
American soldiers to wage war in
China.
Senator John T. Morgan, one Of
the best lawyers of the senate be-
lieves that the session should he
called, and many Others agree with
him. Senator Hanna will opposes it,
however. and it will not be called.

Pekin Massacre Story.

London, July 20.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Express says:
"a Chinese merchant who has just
arrived from Pekin gives horrible de-
tails of the massacre. He says he
saw European women hauled into
the street by shrieking Boxers, who
stripped them and hacked them to
pieces. Their discovered limbs were
tossed to the crowd and carried off
with bowls of triumph. Some were
already dead, having been shot by
foreign civilians
HE said he saw Chinese soldiers
carrying the bodies OF white children
aloft on their spears, while their
companions shot at the bodies. He
gives other details too horrible to be
particularized here.
sit seems that the Boxer leaders
had organized plan including the
Offering of rewards and rich loot for
the humiliation of Europeans
throughout China, and that Prince
Tuan's Generals have been emphasiz-
ing the opportunity the soldiers have
of Selling the bodies of white women.

God helping him, To assist them 10 a
Yorktown.
Webster Davis pledged himself TO
the patriotic Beers that he would lay
their cause before the American PEG
pie, even if their government was
Indifferent to Boer distress and con-
niving to render aid and comfort
indirectly to the English invaders,
and well he has kept his word and
justified the faith they had in
him. 1t required courage to keep
his promise. He was called upon to
make sacrifices that few politicians
would make. He had already borne
the expense OF the journey from his
own slender purse, and now he return
ed TO find the honest but foolish
Consul Macrum disgracefully dis
charged, and young Hay, the tool of
Salisbury and his father, represent
ing the United States government at
Pretoria. But he did not falter in
the duty he had assumed for the
brave Boer patriots that Mckinley
and Hay had declared to be ''rebels
and insurrectiOnists. He at once
resigned lucrative position, repug-
nant to him now that his soul revolt
ed at the cold-blOOded villainy of the
administration He threw policy TO
the winds and stood up in his honest
and liberty-lOving American man
hood, appealing to his countrymen
for sympathy for the struggling
Beers. He did more than this: he
threatened to secede from his party
in which he was a prominent and
promising leader, and all the tempta-
tions of Mckinley and Mark Hanna
could not swerve him from his pur-
pose. He said in substance. Get
behind me, Satan" | here present
] you the alternatives. In your. ma
tiOnal convention adopta resolution
of sympathy with the Beers or |
leave your party and enlist for the
right under the peoples banner with
their leader, who hath sounded forth
the trumpet that shall never call
retreat until this den ofimperialists
have the political life crushed out o!
them. The alleged republican party
refused his terms, and the records oil
of the Kansas City convention
testify to how we'll he kept his word.
When the news reaches the Beers
the men and boys will cheer the name
of Webster Davis and their wOmeT
and girls will sing peans of JOY that
God heard their prayers and gave
them such and eloquent advocate il
America. The imperial press vii
now dub Mr.. Davis ii mutineer, apos
tate and renegade republican, but W.
say God bless his American heart
and send us more of such apostates
mutineers and renegades as the brave
and patriotic Webster Davis.

FATAL DUEL IN THE STREETS.
Two Principals in Kentucky Fight
Killed.

Owensbro, Ky, July 1S.-At q
o'clock Yesterday evening a double
killing took place at Hawesville. a
town % miles east of this city.
Jack Hasson and Allen and Frank
Pulliams engaged in a street duel.
Hasson fell dead. with a bullet
through his head. and Allen Pulliam
was shot through the cheek and
through the abdomen, the bullet en-
tering just below the liver and max
ing its exit Just below the lett kidney,
and another shot passing throught
the right hip. He died in two hours.
Frank Pulliam was unhurt.
There was an old feud between the
Pulliams and Hasson, and lately it
broke out afresh between Hasson
and Allen over game of poker, the
former claiming that Hasson had
tricked him and beat him out OF
5000.
Hasson and Frank Pulliam met
Just before the tragedy in front OF
Sterrett's drug store and spoil e
pleasantly and started down the
street Hasson was saying:
Let's be friends, and you tell Allen
| want to make friends with him.
The two walked down a few doors
and met Allen Pulliam and without
a word three pistols were drawn and
two men lay on the sidewalk shot to
death in front of the postoffice.
Eleven shots were fired in quick sue
cession.
Hasson had served a term in the
penitentiary for killing Jack O'DoneI
in Hawesville in 1887, and was q
desperate man.
The Pulliams were good farmers
and thrifty, but desperate wher
drinking. Intense excitement pre-
walls in Hawesville and the commu
nifty is greatly shocked over the
double tragedy.

Georgetown, KY, July 1S.-The
trial Of Caleb Powers in the Goebel
assassination case was resumed to-
day.
VII. Culton, who is himself under
Indictment as an accessory, and sup
posed to he the star witness OF the
prosecution for to-day, was called.
Culton said he knew all the persons
indicted as accessories to the GOebel
murder. Witness said he attended a
conference at Frankfort in January
at which Powers and others were
present and the matter of bringing
mountain men to the capital was be-
ing discussed.
Powers said that when the men ar
rived at Frankfort they would give
the democratic legislature thirty
minutes in which to settle the con-
tests, and Elf they did not settle it in
that time they would kill every -
one OF them"
Culton further said that Henry
Youtsey came to him and told him
he had found way in which GOebel
could be killed and no one find out
who did it. Youtsey said it could be
done from the secretary of states
Office and he showed witness some
steel bullets. Witness told Youtsey
such thing should not be done.
Ex-Governor Bradley told witness
he had heard Goebel was to be killed
and said it must not be done. Wit
ness saw Bradley again and the lat
ter said the idea had been aban-
doned.

ALI Honor to Webster Davis.


Written by John Quinn, an old line
republican, in the Western Labor
er.
As the presidential campaign opens
up it becomes more and more appar-
ent that there are many in the ranks
of the degenerate republican party
that refuse to bow their knees to
Baal or accept the DEGREES and chains
of imperialism. The recent action OF
men like Webster Davis in throwing
off their allegiance to the un-republi-
can party brings hope to the hearts
of those who tremble for the safety
OF the republic. The uncompromis-
ing stand taken by Mr.. Davis is
evidence that the democracy of JET
ferson and Jackson still holds a place
in many American hearts, that the
republicanism of Lincoln is still cher
ished by the people, and that the
wise counsel of " ashington is not
forgotten.
Webster Davis to-day is deservedly
honored by all his countrymen who
admire moral courage and manly
American character, and the glorious
example he has set his republican fell
low citizens will have far-reaching
results in the coming conflict between
American ideas and traditions and
cold-blooded slavery and barbarism
of imported Imperialism. 1t is we'll
for the nation and the coming gener
ations that we yet have Davises and
| Townes-men who will sacrifice
everything they possess, even life
itself. before they will tamely yield
up the birthright beaueathed to them
by the heroes OF Valley Forge.
Webster Davis some time ago was
considered a clever politician, above
the average in ability, and when he
visited South Africa he was even
charged with being on secret mis-
sion TO make political capital Tor
Mckinley. The public probably will
never know how much Mr.. Davis
knew OF the unholy compact between
Mckinley and Lord Salisbury by
which it was agreed that England
should be free TO work her will with
: South Africa republics, or how much
more villainy he suspected in the in
trigues of Pauncefote and secretary
Hay. He evidently knew and sus-
pected enough to induce him to visit
the Free State and Transvaal at his
: personal expense and see the situa-
: ton for himself.
He went there and saw through
American eyes the counterpart oil
: our revolutionary struggle with
| George Ill. He saw the heroic Beers
t like his forefathers at Concord
, Bunker Hill, Brandywine and other
: hard fought actions, hurl back the
might of England's army on the
Tugela and Modder. and from the
