When the country is in danger, and
the Grumbeat is heard calling American
volunteers to rally to its defense, no
voice has ever been lifted to tell the
stalwart manhood offering their lives
to vindicate the national authority and

should they live TO be old and helpless,

idea of citizenship emblemized by the

Murdered and Robbed.

A story OF crime almost unparalleled
in the annals of that section reached
Charleston, w. Va, late last night from
Ivydale, a village in Clay county, near
the Braxton county border.
The remains of Russell Perry, Inn
Der grader in the employ Of the @. l..
Ritter Lumber Company, on Big Buffalo
Greek, were picked up by section crew
yesterday morning at Jessica, lumber
camp three miles from lvydaie. A freight
train bad run over the mans body, and
although it was terribly mangled, marks
of foul play we're plainly seen, bullet
hole being found below one eye, while
his throat had been cut from ear to ear,
apparently with pocket knife or some
such instrument.
Justice w. p Hambrick, of Clay,
quickly summoned jury for all inquest,
and sufficient evidence was procured to
Jail three young men, brothers, named
Dickey, who had been drinking with
Perry, while two other men are strongly
suspected of completely in the crime.
Evidence is said to have been given
at the inquest to the effect that Perry
was beaten almost into insensibility by
his companions, after which he was shot,
then held and his throat cut. The body
was then placed on the railroad track.
Perry was known to have had several
hundred dollars on his person, of which
he had been robbed.

ANXIETY IN En-

London, July 6.--The warL.lg OF Sir
Edward Grey, Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, in the House of Com
mons last evening regarding the gravity
of the situation in Egypt has caused the
greatest alarm, Englishmen fearing that
another expensive war may soon be
necessary. 1t is the firm belief in high
official circles that Sultan Abdul Hamid
is responsible for the delcacy of Egypt
ian affairs, as he has secretly authorized
the preaching of an snti-Christian cru
SADIE in all Of the Mohammedan coun-
tries.
The uneasy feeling not only exists re-
garding Egypt but also to India, which
is approaching the trouble line through
AbduPs pro-Islam propaganda.
Every English newspaper, liberal and
conservative alike, with the exception Of
the Manchester Guardian, recognizes the
gravity of the situation aud refrains
from any criticisms of the government
which would likely embarrass the Egypt
tian authorities. The Guardian, which
cannot bride the ''little Euglaudism, "
asserts that Sir Grey's declaration last
night was due only to his desire to ex-
cuse wholesale punishments Of natives
for isolated attacks upon Englishmen in
Egypt.
The address of Sir Edward Grey, the
Foreign Secretary, which has so greatly
alarmed Englishmen, was called forth by
an attack on the government by Dillon,
a nationalist member, for what he term
ed the "brutal barbarsm" of the fog
gings and executions in Egypt. In re
ply, Sir Edward said that the recent at
tack on British officers at Tsntab was
not accidental, but deliberate manfes-
tation of the fana:ical spirit which had
necessitated the strengthening of the
garrison in Egypt. He added: Gas
things are now, | say deliberately and
with full sense of responsibility, that
if parliament does anything at this time
to weaken or destroy the authority Of
the Egyptian government you will come
face to face with very serious situation,
for should fana:icism get the better OF
constituted authority there might be the
necessity for extreme measures.

Secretary Metcslf of the Department
of Commerce and Labor today took the
first steps in the organization of the
division of naturalization, 10 accordance
with the new law, by the appointment
of Judge Richard X. Campbell, of Vir-
ginia, as chief. For years Judge Camp
bell has been law officer in the bureau
of immigration. Jerome @. Shear, here
tofore Chinese inspector, and Merton A.
Sturges, formerly in charge of files of
the bureau which relate to the Chinese
exclusion law, both of Michigan, were
appointed stenographer and clerk, respec-
lively, under Judge Campbell. For the
present there will be no other appoint
ments in the division. The name Of
the bureau of immigration will hereafter
be known as the bureau of immigration
and naturalization, with Commissioner
General OF immigration Frank p.
Sargent at its head. The division of
naturalization will be in this bureau.
Judge Campbell will set to work at once
TO organize the new division. The i'm
mediate work of the new division will
consist of notifying the various States
and Territories Of the provisions of law
in regard to the courts thereof which will
hereafter have jurisdiction in the natur-
slizatlOn of aliens, to make provisions
for the necessary printing and the prep.
aratiOn of regulations and explanations
for the guidance of the clerks Of the
courts. Since the new act does not be-
come operative except as to certain sec
tions until about September 27, naturil
izations under existing law will continue
until that time. Thereafter, for period
of at least ninety days, no alien can law
fully be naturslized by any court, since
the new law provides that such Sn inter
val shall elapse between the filing Of
petition to become a citizen and the
granting OF such petition.

Rosenberg, who is believed to have come
here in connection with plot against
Kaiser William. was arrested upon his ar
rival from America.
Seattle, Wash, July 6.-The an
archist Rosenberg arrested in Germany
today, is Augustus Rosenberg, brick
layer, formerly of this city. His arrest
resulted through information furnished
the German authorities by the police OF
Seattle. Rosenberg left Seattle on MAY
/. A warning was sent to the German
government that an attempt would be
made on the life of the Kaiser. The
German consul At Seattle was ordered to
investigate. At the request OF the Ger
man authorities, raid was also made
on the house formerly occupied by
Rosenberg. A plant for the manufac.
lure of bombs and Internal machines was
discovered and among the articles seized
were 200 bottles of acids and explosives,
crucibles, mortars, moulds, furnace
and considerable scrap iron.
