Philadelphia, June 80. While play
ing in front of his home yesterday 2-year-
old lizzie Faber, living in Vine street,
ran in front of trolley car and both feet
were cut off by the heavy wheels. Though
the child's legs were badly crushed he
lay crying in the street. A score of per-
SONS witnessed the accident, and in a
minute crowd collected and furniture

THE NEGRO in the north and west
seems to lag superhous on the stage, and
with all the assertions made two or three
score of years ago by abolitionists OF their
philantrophic impulses towards the race,
the darkey can find but few places upon
which to put his feet north Of Mason &
Dixon's line. The Eighth regiment,
Illinois National Guard. under COM
mand of Col. II. @. Marshall, is to be
barred by the st. Louis Exposition Off
cials. This action has been approved
by the government. The Eighth is a
colored regiment which "fought nobly'
in Cuba. The organization had made
preparations to attend the fair in all the
panoply of war. Col. Marshall asked
that quarters be provided them in the
barracks occupied by other militia or
CARNATIONS. In reply he was told that
colored troops could not be allowed in
the barracks occupied by white troops
nor could any protection of barracks or
other quarters be assigned them. They
could come, but they must provide a
camp and commissary outfit of their
own and 60 into camp outside OF the
grounds. AS stated above, the United
States governmenthas affirmed the action
of the fair officials. The negro is slow
to realize that he is the dupe of people
who never had any real interest in his
well-being, and that, after all, he is bet
ter treated in the South where he is
understood.

King Edward Leaves KleI.

Kiel, June 30.-King Edward con-
cluded his visit to the Kaiser today and
started on his return voyage to England
OH board his steam yacht Victoria and Al
bert. Previous to his departure the
King went on board the Hohenzollern 10
bid goodbye to the Kaiser and EN-
press, whose hand he kissed on parting.
The Kaiser accompanied the King on
board the Victoria aud Albert, and bid
him a final goodbye. The Victoria
and Albert steamed slowly down the
bay, every ship in the German feet
fired royal salute of q guns and the
crews of the ships gave three hearty
cheers as the royal yacht passed them.
On the Hohenzollern signal was
hoisted conveying the Kaiser's best
wishes Tor a safe journey home, while
King Edward signalled from his yacht
his appreciation of the hospitality ex-
tended to him by the Kaiser. The
English warships escorting King Ed
ward responded to the German salute
Nith salute of 81 guns and soon the
English royal yacht and the English
squadron were lost to view.
1t is stated in officials circles here
that the conferences held by the Kaiser
and King Edward during the latters
visit here resulted in conviction that
the motives of each in the far East are
above suspicion. Both monarchs are
DESTROYS of peace and will cooperate to
promote a termination of the war, but
without violating their strict neutrality
or making advances to either Russia or
Japan.

THURSDAY EVENING. JUNE 30, 1904.

DURING AN interview in Lincoln,
Neb. day or two ago Mr. WI. Bryan
was asked whether he would bolt the
ticket if Judge Parker we're nominated.
Mr.. Bryan replied by reading an editorial
which be printed in the Omaha World
Herald on February &c, 1896, under the
heading, els boiling ever justihable,
and if so. when ?" In that editorial
he held that boiling was justifiable
in certain circumstances-"as, for in
stonce when an unfit candidate is
nominated" or "when the voter him
self changes his position on a para
mount public question or when his
party changes its position" And then,
further along: off the members OF
party agree upon the important issues,
difference of opinion on minor matters
is of little consequence, but difference
of opinion upon the questions that are
for the time being paramount always
has DESTROYED, always will destroy and
always ought to destroy party har-
mony. 4 abandonment fparty
is ever justifable, the proper time, if
not the only time, is after the party
has adopted its platform and named its
candidate. Until that time he does not
know whether he can rely upon 1t to
secure the government which be re-
CARDS as good and the legislation which
he regards as necessary" "Ihat, "
said Mr.. Bryan, els my position today.
l do not see how any one can say a word
against it." Mr.. Bryan's many friends
have been apprehensive for some time
AZ to his intentions at the coming DEM
ocratic national convention, and the
language attributed to him in the above
is regarded as ominous. 1t is hoped he
will not be guilty of any overt act, and
that he will appreciate the fact that
thousands of democrats who now desire
another standard-bearer voted for him
on two occasions.

Mysterious Shooting.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June S0.-As he
was climbing into the side window oil
his house at 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, Anthony Belinsky, merchant Of
Georgetown, near this city, was shot
and so badly wounded that he cannot
recover. The police are mystiied. They
are working on two theories, one that
the man was mistaken for burglar and
was shot by a neighbor, who is so badly
heightened that he fears to tell what he
has done. The other is that he was fol-
lowed by an enemy who had threatened
his life, and shot when his attention was
concentrated upon opening the window.
Yesterday afternoon the police arrested
Daniel Weshenskie, who was seen early
in the evening carrying shotgun, but
they have no other evidence than this.
Tho wounded man was returning from
wedding celebration and had forgotten
his door kew.

ton was paid to it. A few days later
fhe boy went in swimming and caught
cold in the wound, which became very
sore. On Tuesday morning lockjaw
developed, and a physician was sum-
rnoned, but his skill was of no avail.
The boy fingered in terrible agony UNI
til death came to his relief Tuesday

THE UTTERANCEs made by Mr.. Taft
before the Harvard Law School Associ-
alton day or two ago and the strange
construction put by him upon the con-
stitution and the Declaration of Inde-
peudence manifest plainly the intentions
OF the present administration. These
national bulwarks are to be contorted
and made to mean anything or nothing
in order to carry out the wishes of ex-
pansionists and their coadjutors who are
in spirit bent upon changing the present
form of government. Mr.. Olney's re-
joinder was to the point. His query, 'Is
Despotism Americanism?' is unanswer-
able, and the other query, "Ifa nation
can seize, why not individuals? '' is
equally incontrovertible.

More Russian Naval Mishaps.

Yesterday was an unusually sad anC
inglorious day for the blunderers who
seem to be in the majority in the Cars
navy. A submarine boat sank in the
Neva because of a panic among the
novices, who constituted the major
portion of the vessels crew. At Cron-
stadt the battleship Nayarin was rammed
by on old coast-defense ship. In view
of the many mishaps to the Muscovite
navy since the war with Japan began it
is astonishing that our Russian friends
are able to get crews to man their ships.
In the far East the Cars warships fall
an easy prey to the efficient Jap. At
home they are the no less easy prey of
Muscovite blunderers. There seems to
be no reason why the Japanese should
give themselves any concern about the
threat of the Russians to send their Bal
tic feet to the Orient. Russian incom-
potency and lack of seamanship may be
relied upon to send their armada to the
bottom of the sea long before it reaches
the scene of war in the East. The hui
name societies of Europe should petit
ton the Gar to Put his fleets out of
commission. They are more dangerous
to the Cars sailors than to bis enemies.

national convention re-declared that the
tariff will be revised when they get good

be by "its friends" But the friends OF
the tariff are those whom it enriches, by
reason of high duties. When its friends
revise it they make the duties higher.
There has been a succession of revisions
