razor inflicted by a negro who afterward
threw him from a train and almost dead
from loss Of blood, John Daley, Of No. 1902
Water street, Philadelphia. was found
about u O'Clock last night by Patrolman
Jakubowski. The latter sent him to the
Delaware Hospital in the patrol wagon.
Daley tells a remarkable story Of the
ARRAY. which is corroborated IN every de-
tail by his companion, Joseph Smith OF
Philadelphia who was given lodging az
the police station. They boarded the train
at Bay View. Nd, and four negroes got
on at the same time As the train an
preached Newport one OF the negroes be-
came surly and with a razor began to
slash Daley right and left
He drew the keen blade across Daley
and then hacked away at Daloy's throat.
The other negroes he'd aloof from the
actual assault, although they cowed smith
and ne feared TO aid Daley AS the train
was speeding briskiy through Newport
Daley grappled with the infuriated negro.
but the latter by dexterous movement
hurled Daley from the train. He then
turned with his razor upon Smith. who
leaped from the train TO avoid being
stabbed.
The train had reached Philadelphia be-
fore the men arrived in the city and the
assailants escaped.

Potatoes.


From the New York sun.
One Of the anomalous and puzzling
features Of the American agricultural
situation is the fact that with more
than 100000 Of our people at work
on nearly 100000 farms, and with all
our vast uncultivated areas, the United
States Is a large importer Of common,
Ordinary vegetables. Every year we
buy from abroad beans, dried peas,
onions, cabbages and potatoes.
We import tropical fruits i'm enor-
nous quantities because we want them
and cannot produce them within our
borders But this does not apply to the
above mentioned articles. nor to hay,
/ rice, hops pickles and other products
Of our soil which may be added to the
Hist
just now market reports show a
shortage and an importation Of po-
ltatoes. While the quantity imported Is
small I'm comparison with out domestic
Iproduction, 1t IS difficult to see the
necessity for any importation what
ever with the possible exception Of a
Limited quantity from Bermuda or
cuba as a semi-luxury for those who
can afford them and who believe that
half ripened potato Of this years
crop is better than fully ripened tuber
OF last years growth.

ST. Louis, June IA characteristic
letter from Samuel l.. Clemens Mark

prior to his wife's death, has been re-
ceived by President Francis of the
worlds fair. In part it is as follows:
1T has been a dear wish Of mine to
exhibit myself at the great fair and
get a prize, but circumstances beyond
my control have interfered, and l must
remain in Florence. Although have
never taken prizes anywhere else,
used to take them in school in Missou-
ri half a century ago and I ought to be
able to repeat now if l could have a
chance.
81 used to get the medal for good
spelling every week, and l could have
had the medal for good conduct if there
had not been so much corruption in
Missouri in those days. Still 1 got it
several times by trading medals and
giving boot. l am willing 70 give boot
now If However. those days are for
ever gone by in Missouri, and perhaps
it is better So Nothing ever stays the
way it was in this changeable world
Although / cannot be at the fair, l
am going to be represented there any
way by a portrait by Professor Cell.
You will find it excellent Good judges
say it is better than the original. They
say it has all the merits of the original
and keeps still besides. 1t sounds like
hattery, but it is just true.

cause you have created the most prodi-
gious and in all ways the most beauti-
full fair the planet has ever seen. Very

JAPAN,s OBJECT.

The japanese are apparently taking
their successes modesuy. Their de-
mands at the outbreak OF the war con-
sisted in asking the open door for
Manchurian ports and the independ-
ence Of Corea. Every utterance since
the outbreak of histilites has been Of
the same tenor. The scope of the ori-
ginal demands has not been enlarged.
Baron Kodama. chief Of the army head
quarters staff I'm an Interview says.
I am unable to anticipate the CAM
paign or indicate the possible stopping
point OF the general advance. but when
our army Is SO situated as to be able
to block Russia's monopoly OF products
destined for Manchuria and to guaran-
tee the maintenance of the open door.
Japan's aims Will have been accom-
plished and the chief causes of the war
done away with. Remember that Japan
has already achieved her first conten-
tlon-that Is, the independence OF Co
rea.
The opening Of China TO the trade Of
the world is an object which is laud-
able. and all the commercial nations
are Interested in Japan's success if she
confines her efforts to the attainment
of that object. IL is peculiarly interest
ing to the United States. as It was Mr..
Hay who mapped out the open door
policy and insisted on it. Japan has,
then, only to maintain what she has
practically achieved already and she
win have established her contention.

SENATOR KNOX.

Many Republican newspapers Of
Pennsylvania are haiiing the selection
Of Mr. Knox for the Senate as indlcat-
ing Pennsylvania emancipation. The
Philadelphia Press regards the selec-
ton as proof that "the hand that lay
SO heavily on Pennsylvania has been
lifted" 1t thinks that in future "in-
teliect and independence viii not be
stined."
There is reason for the belief that
this hope IS based on something sub
siantial A laree-mnded man is rare
ly a tyrant man whose thoughts are
centered on great problems OF govern
ment and Of legislation has neither the
time nor the inclination to look after
the workings OF the machine. He may
understand the necessity Tor party or
sanization. but he viii not carry this
so far as to make it perfect au-
tocracy. with the part each factor is
TO play so determined that independ-
ence becomes only a shadowy mem
oly,.,
This selection OF Pennsylvania Sem
ator has great interest for the voters
Of other states. Pennsylvania has been
trying an experiment in the last de-
cade or two which has illustrated the
possibilities Of building up an auto
cracy in the heart OF this republic. L,
has had marvellous success. coming TO
hold its power and influence without
any protest. Apparently the people Of
Pennsylvania liked it--at least they
submitted.
But IL has come to an end and there
is promise Of brighter day. But not
alone for Pennsylvania, but for other
states. The machine built up under the
leadership Of Quay was the pattern af-
ter which bosses an over the country
sought to fashion their organizations
The system in operation there has
come to be regarded as the necessary
and inveitable consequence Of republi-
can government. Consequently Quay
Ism has been like a contagious disease
For instance, many sorts Of political
rascality in Delaware have been ex.
oused because they were based upor
party customs In Pennsylvania. Anc
many a leader has taken the Pennsyl-
vania machine as a guide IN trying
TO build up smaller organizations
There is promise Of better things
for which we should be thankful.
