CElSHAS CAUSE RIOTS.
Sailors Wreck Inns Where Presence ls
Objected to-The Boxer Troubles.

Yokohama. July 31.-A serious dis
turbance took place at kure. last night,
when bluejackets from men-Of-war in
the harbor invaded three inns, smashed
the furniture. and were with difficulty
reduced to order after nearly three
hours rioting. The men were enraged
because the innkeepers opposed the at
tendance Of geishas at an entertain
ment recently given to British sailors.
The latest about the Kwang-S ST
trouble relates to the appointment of
Wang Chih-Chung as governor of the
province. Wang, whom the world
knows as the ambassador sent to Rus
STA after the retrocession of Liao-Tung
peninsula, is said to have assured the
Empress Dowager that a ma iority OF
the Kwang rebels are humane and that
if he were intrusted with quelling they
would easily listen to reason. The
Empress took him at his word and ap-
pointed him to The governorship.
The Empress is said to have recently
expressed radical dissent from the
Boxer propaganda and from the anti
foreign campaign. Her Majesty said
that the instigator of the Boxer out
break was Yum Men ana that the
Princes Tuan and Chuan encouraged
it. Replying to a minister who urged
that ever since the fight of Jepol in
1860, the imperial house had suffered
only insults ut The hands of foreigners
and that to treat them with considcra-
ton was 4 great mistake the Empress
severely condemned such n doctrine

her. she said, and during that time it

thought here, will afford Prince Joseph

In case of such annulment the prince
would be able to have Roman Catholic

til now has been Impossible because of
the non-recognition Of Mrs. Parkhursts
divorce by the church.
Cardinal Vannuetlli always has been ia
vorable to Prince Rospigliosi and all ques-

Terms of Announcement.
SICKENING.

For Republican who accepts
party measures to the exclusion
of none, to criticise any Demo
cratic measure, subscribing him
self "Holier than thou" is really
sickening. History gives account
ofcertain people, now Republicans,
who brought human beings 10 our
shores and sold them into slavery.
1t gives an account Of the same
people instrumental in their free
dom without compensation TO
owners. OF the same people who
marched TO the sea devastating
pilaging the country to that ex-
tent that it was said crow could
not pass over that country with
out danger of starvation unless he
carried rations with him. OF the
same party is recorded stolen
presidency an attempt to pass a
force bill applicable to the South
by which a party could continue
in power without limit Of years.
We do not approve Of all the en-
actments of the Democratic party
OF its schemes we are not at all in
sympathy. We pity the partisan
who sees no beam in his own eye
while he criticise the Democrat
with the mote in his eye.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1902-03-25
LET HIM PAY.

There is "a petition in circulation
requesting Postmaster Hall to re-
tain the present chief clerk. Some
Democrats have been asked to
take hand in this matter and we
are pleased to know that only a
few have been caught meddling in
Republican affairs. 1t may be Mr..
Hall created obligations during his
campaign and he should be per
mitted to fulfill every promise
even though it would require three
or more chief clerks. Promising
to pay in politics as well as in ne
gotiable notes is apt to get a fel-
low in trouble.

DOWN AND OUT.

To-day Moss will become YER
liable Congressman, Rhea having
been asked to yield his certificate
of election to Mr.. Moss. Well, if
we were deciding this matter we
would declare the election off and
so enact as to have another cleo
called at once. 1t is time a halt
should be called on election cor
ruption. Democrats can not af-
ford to have the smell of fire on
their garments.

Anniversary.

On Thursday afternoon at Miss
Pearl Bruton's School room the w.
lC. Il. U. held an open s. ssion in
celebration of the birthday of Neal
Dow the great temperance agitator
The local president Mrs. B. F.
Thompson was in charge. The
singing principally by the school
children was ESPECIALLY good. Solos
by Mrs. Wbaley, Miss Mamie Greene
and Sewart Mccormick were much
| enjoyed. A very fine paper by Mrs
C. II. Bryrn considered Gen. Neal
Dow as Reformer.
THE Coming Young Woman by
Mrs. Jacob Henry closely followed
"The Coming Young Man by Rev
w J. Bolin. These addresses were
excellent. Masters Charlie Howe
and Allie Lane merited applause by
their recitations The president
presented to the school a picture of
Gen. Dow. 1t was accepted In an
appropriate speech by Miss Mary
Cobb Stofer.
Many missed a rare treat. Rev.
II. ID. Clark pronounced tie bene-
diction. The ladies wish to thank
Miss Bruton for her assistance and
use of her very attractive and home
like rooms.
We hope to give some of these pa
pers TO our readers.
