PROSPECTIVE FALL OF AN ANCIENT CITY

Marking appears doomed to fall into the
hands of the Chinese rebels, and with its occupa-
ton the prospects of nominal sovereignty
for the Manchu dynasty may be regarded as
negligible. Marking the ancient capital OF
China and has been great city for more than
2O0O years Long before the Christian dawn
ed it was one Of the great towns of the world
1t has been destroyed and rebuilt many times
It's most recent ordeal of fire befell the city III
the TAPPING, rebellion of 1888, when it almost
completely destroyed,
But great cities favorably located usually re
build, and Marking, restored on the old site be-
came the greatest manufacturing center of China.
1t is now the place of manufacture for the NUM-
lions of war and the storehouse of material for
the Chinese goernment 1t is the last stronghold
of the imperial forces and. of course its posses
sion by the rebels would put them in command
| of the sources Of war supplies.

! pie. Its great arsenal and gun factories are SUI
perntended by European experts. 1t is fortl-
| fled town. to be sure but the Notifications lie
under the guns of the rebel fleet and some of
them have ALREADY been captured. The city is in
a bend Of the deep and easily navigable Yangtze
river Now, if the city should fall the question
is Will the rebel commanders be able to hold
their forces in hand and prevent one Of those in.

WAR WAS NARROWLY AvERTED.

Lord (irey's cautious statements regarding
the Moroccan difficulty must be read between the
lines to be understood. 1t indicates not only that
the relations between Great Britain and Germany
are still strained but that the tension at one
time was so great to threaten war. In deny
ing that the government had filed to take proper
measure for defense in the event of hOstiies the
British foreign minister revealed the fact that
full preparations had been made for active Oper-
atlOnS on sea and land. 1hlS IS more IMAM the
public suspected
1t has been stated without authoritative de-
NAL that definite plans had been made to mobo-
lie the English fleet in the Channel and i'll the
North Sea and to throw 100000 land troops
practically the whole of Britan'S effective regu-
lar force into France to aid in repelling Ger
man INVASION The English coasts were to be
protected by driving the inferior sea armament OF
Germany into the German ports, which were to
be blockaded 1t assumed that England 5
overwhelming superiority sea would compel
the German fleet to seek cover and remain in the
estuaries of the Weser the Elbe and the Oder.
This plan, if successfully carried out, would
leave communication between France and Eng
land and her colonies undisturbed, and WoulC
have compelled Germany to conduct an exclusive
~ land campaign against France. Germany
ports would have been closed and her marine
commerce swept from the seas. On land France
would have had the support of the full Englsl
military strength.
This is the plan outlined in public speech by
a member of the British parliament. 1t has no
been denied by the British war Office and it il
given color by the statement of Lord Grey. II,
plainly ntimates that Great Britain was prepared
for war and would have supported France to thu
last extremity Evidently there would have beer
war had not way been provided to let Germany
down easy.

William J. Bryan says the Democrats cannot
get the support of Wall street on any terms. and
adds that they must get the support of the Re
publican progressiveS to win. His statement is
an acknowledgement thai the Democrats are not
strong enough to elect president themselves
and must depend upon Republican assistance to
win the election. This is equivalent to saying
that the republicans only have to stick together
to retain control Of the government The adms-
sion is significant 1t explains the eagerncss of
the Democrats to Torment dsscnsion in the Re
publican ranks.

queer angle to the political situation has
been revealed by Theodore Roosevelt's attack on
President Taft's enforcement of the Sherman
antitrust law. Colonel Roosevelt not only stands
up for the steel trust, but he sharply criticizes
both the letter and purpose of the Sherman law.
Wall street appears to have found Moses
and to have taken fresh heart However, it is
an old saying that politics makes strange bed
fellows.

The president of the United States must be a
man Of the greatest versatility. The wide variety
of questions submitted to him for decision is
demonstrated in the case of the mongooSe of the
Kansas City Zoo. The mongoose is an illegal and
destructive monopoly, and unless Mr.. Taft in
tervenes being satifed that it is securely Gagged,
it must be destroyed. If only Mr. Taft could

The following dispatch appeared a
few days ago in Financial America,
one of the leading financial journals
of the country:
Chicago, Aug. 4.-The Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railway Co. is be-
lieved to be contemplating an investi-
cation Of Canada for the purpose Of
placing itself in position to handle
some Of the big increase in traffic
moving between the two countries as
a result of the Canadian reciprocity
agreement. This is reported to be the
object of trip now being made to
the northwest by A. J. Earling, presi-
dent of the St. Paul road, and Percy
Rockefeller, one of the directors. Mr.
Earling has been away from his Of
flee for over week and although his
representatives decline to discuss his
wharoahnnts or the purpose of the
trip, it is understood that he and Mr.
Rockefeller are inspecting a possible
route from Fargo, N. D., to Winnipeg
This route would require an extension
160 miles long of the branch from

OF Tyrus Raymond Cobb. The great
est popularity about this player is the
fact that he always rises to the task
imposed. Against weak clubs he does
not shine with the same brilliancy as
when the opposition is strong.
The Athletics, generally conceded,
have the strongest defense in either
league. Cobb Tuesday hit a single,
a triple, a home run, walked, stole
second and third. Then he retired to
give Shaller, recruit, little prac-
tice. Last spring Cobb did not re-
port in the south until ready. Much
anxiety resulted, but the day he ar
rived Tyrus poled the first ball
pitched over the fence for a home
run
In the Joss day game at Cleveland
Cobb appeared attired in a Maps
travelling uniform, being the only man
thus arrayed. Salvos Of applause

SPORT
Two Great Players.

In the old days it used to be that a
name like Mike Kelly, Pat O'Grady or
some such was the only brand of cog
for a star.
But the good old days have evident
~ passed when a pair of names like
place out at the forefront Of battle
among the leaders Of the game.
It is evident that there can be moth
ing in name when brace Of cOgs,
like the above, making a noise like
college cheer, can get away with it.
No two first basemen in the cOun
try have any great call above this
pair-Hoblitzel, of Cincinnati, and
Konetchy, of st. Louis. But this may
be due to the fact that the fan flock
at large has long since amputated
big bulk of each cog away, leaving
the simple Hobby and the equally
simple Honey as the more easily pro,
nounced remainder.
Both are a good bit along the same
lines-big, powerfully set up athletes,
with an especial aptitude at knocking
the everlasting cover off the ball.
1t was Hobby on Saturday who
stepped up and whacked one Of Ma
theWson's shoots into the right field
seats for a clean homer. and the Red
first-sacker has other four-base shots
to his credit. In the off season, Hobby,
of the Reds, is Doctor Hoblitzel, the
well-known dentist of Cincinnati, O.
In addition to taking his war club and
glove with him upon trip, Hobby is
always accompanied by dress suit
and brace of patent leather kicks.
Konetchy is now the more famed
of the two, as Honey is laborins upon
ball club better advertised than any
other in the business and upon one
with chance for the flag. 1t is also
needless to state that Honey is more
than doing his share to bring this de-
: sired Tin st. Louis) state of affairs to
) head He is not only high-grade
first baseman, but one of the most
feared batsmen in the game. When
he connects there's nothing to it but
an outfeld chase or another ball.
Honey can hit and Honey can field
!. He is power for winning baseball
upon the Cardinal lineup.
