(Continued from Page One.)
ST. LOUIS. July t.—A special to the
Globe-Democrat from Litchfield, Ills.,
says that the Chicago limited on the
Wabash ran Into an open switch and was
ditched there thin afternoon, and that 19
to 20 persona were killed and from 30
to 40 were Injured. The train is reported
burned.
’’The wrecked train. No. 11, carried the
telegraph line# with It and wn have been
unable to get such Information." said
President Joseph fUmsay, Jr., of the
Wabash, when asked by the Associated
Press for details of the wreck.
"What I have came by the way of
Decatur, and Is to the effect that the
train was derailed at s switch st Litch
field. 1 presume the accident occurred in
the yards not far from the depot. Hr

The foreign military sttachea ac

It ts regarded as probable that the
Russians feared that their lines of rs

Battle at Harbor Entrance.
TOKIO, July I—I p. m.—The twelfth
torpedo boat flotilla, under command
of Commander Yamada. made the ajjc-
resaful torpedo attack at the enttdnre
of port Arthur laat Monday night,
June 27, In which n Russian guardshlp
and a Ruealan torpedo boat destroyer
wera sunk.
The Japanese vessels were revealed
by the Russian searchlights and the
snore forts opened a heavy fusllsde
on them. The Russian gnardship was
surrounded and attacked by the Jap
anese. who saw this vessel sink end
huge volumes of water thrown np by
heavy explosions. Following this the
Russian torpedo boat destroyer st
once attacked the Japanese vessels,
which responded to the onslaught. A
Ruslsan destroyer, while within the
nres lit by the searchlights, was seen
to explode, rise, fall back Into the
water sideways end sink.
The guardshlp sank near the base of
Golden Hill.
Russians in Clots Place.
CHB FOO, July t. 11:55 p. m.—A
small Japanese force occupied Helping
on June 21 and found the Russians had
fallen back to Tal Tche Klao. The Jap.
nnese expected that a Mg battle would
be fought at Tal Tche Klao but In
other quarters It ts believed that the
Russians probably will retreat to Liao
Yang, as otherwise they would be cut
off at flat Cheng by the Takushan dl
vision of the Japanese army. It ta poe
alhle that thla already haa occurred, ai
the Takushan division was within
striking distance of Cheng a week
ago.

Arrival of Tammany.
BT. LOUIS, Jruly I.—The Tammany
advance guard arrived In fit. Louis at
1:10 o’clock tonight and had not more
than registered than they caused to be
whispered around the plan by. which
they hoped to demonstrate that Judge
Parker could be beaten for the nomi
nation. Charles F. Murphy. Hourke
Cock ran, Charles A. Towne, Thainae F.
Grady, Victor Imwllng and William
Bulser were Uie orators and politician!
who were at the head of the party, and
within thirty minues of their arrival
they hnd prepared the following state
ment attributed to Charles F. Murphy:
"My position now Is what It ha# con
stantly been. I any and have said that.
In my opinion, that Mr. Cleveland, so
far as the state of New York Is con
cerned. would be the strongest candi
date this convention could name, oI
course, I cannot speak for other states,
and I have thought the best result
would likely be reached by deliberation
among the delegates representing all
the states and untrammelled by pre-
'omrnltment or Instructions.
"For thla reason 1 waa opposed to
resolutions of Instructions at Albany
under any circumstances, although I
favored the unit rule by which the final
Judgment of the delegation, after con
sultation on the ground, might be made
effective as an entirety. It may be
that In the country at large some other
candidate might be stronger than Mr.
Cleveland. I am speaking only of my
own state and with a sincere desire for
Democratic success. If at this moment
I believed that Judge Parker would be
aa strong before the people of the state
of New York as Mr. Cleveland would
bo I should bs the first to urge his
nomination, notwithstanding the con
test ugalnst Instructions at the state
convention."
Following the giving out of this In
terview came the unfolding of the
scheme to beat the Parker nomination.
.It was very simple and consisted In
visiting the various delegations and
asking them to stick by their candid
ates long enough to produce n dead
lock. Henry O. Davie of West Virginia
wan urged to get together the Gorman
states and was promised that New
York would help the latter. The
Ilearst people were urged to move on
tha common enemy with an unbroken
front and even Mr. Bryan was sent to
In nn endeavor t keep a two-thirds
vote from coming to Parker on the first
ballots. It la said at Tammany head
quarters tonight that this would be
the plan of campaign for the next few
days.

Brevet Major Henry C. W.yne, aulit-
ant quartermaster. He sent In hi. re-
agnation on the last day of 18<0. On
the following day Brevet, second
Lieut. Wade II. Glbbea, 22nd Cavalry,
resigned, and also Second Lieut. James
H. Holllqulst, 4th artillery. Up to
January 28. 18(1 seven other officers
resigned. In February twenty-four
more resigned. When the bombard
ment of Fort Humpter "llred the
Southern heart.” resignations followed
fast, causing uneasiness In the North,
creating grave doubts concerning the
loyalty of regular army officers, of
whom so much urea now expected, and
glao generating Intenaa and unjust
prejudice against tha West Point mili
tary academy.. The humble rank of
many at the outaet who afterward
held high command la interesting to
pole.

shattered the army of Roseans at

on the government till June 1, 18<1.

Gorman’s Candidacy.
Mr. Gormon la a candidate for the
presidency aa a legatee of Judge Park-
or. Ruch ta the attitude In which hla
friend, hare place him tonight. They
say that he Is a candidate, and that he
haa given positive authority to his
friends In use'hla name aa such, but
they do not want to put him In the po
sition of combining-with other can
didates to defeat Judge Parker. Mr.
Gnrmon's position was slsted by one of
hla admlrera today aa follows:
“Mr. Gorman, is a. candidate, hut he
Is n candidate oh hts own tnerlta and a
candidate to win. He haa no delire
merely to defeat the nomination of
Judge Parker, with no further end In
view. To do lhat would be to play the
part of Ramaon and pull the house
down upon hlmaelf. for If he should
lend himself to Parker's defeat it ts
clear lhat Parker Would atlll be strong
enough In turn to cause Gorman's
downfall." »

Llecliten»tein—A Sovereign 8tate.
A people who tax their prince. A
country, almost unknown. In the very
heart of central F.urope. An inde
pendent and whimsical principality of
sixty-eight squqare miles. It Is In the
eastern Alpe. bordering the upper
Rhine. Hemmed In by Hwltserland and
Austria, and but a few miles from the
German frontier. It has been Independ
ent for over two centuries, and was for
gotten by Bismarck, so runs the local
pleasantry, at the reorganisations fol
lowing the Prussian wars with Austria
and France.
It Is not tucked Inaccessibly away.
Thousands of Americans, on their way
to Innsbruck. 4iave aeen from the train
the towering mountains of the little
state. Others, on th*tr wav to Davos-
Plats. have glanced at a distant little
town, at the foot of a castled rook,
without suspecting that they were look
ing at one of the capitals of Kurope.
There is no military service. There
Is no nations) debt There ts a nominal
tax. only a tenth aa large aa that of
Austria. The ruling prince gives freely
for the good of .the people out of his
huge private fortune. Ho far from de
riving any revenue from hts prtnet*
polity, he pays heavily for th* pleasure
of holding it.
Following the close of the war be
tween Austria and Prussia, In which
Liechtenstein allied Itself with Aus
tria. there came another gravely pre
sented protest. The etttsens were
weary of the expense of a standing
army; an army which, conststing of
eighty men. with a captain and a trum
peter, had bravely marched toward the
scene of hostilities, but too Isle to ar
rive before the war had come to Ut
swift end.
There is now s written constitution.
There Is a little parliament of fifteen
members. Three members are named
by the prlnci. Twelve are elected by
the people, every man In Llecbetensteln
over 24 yearn of sge having a vote. The
little body meets once In every year
and remain* in session for several
weeks, engaged In the very attenuation
of discussion of petty things.
It la l.t lit put ruled by tts Gulliver.
And although, on account of the fiscal
arrangement. Austrian coins and
stamps are generally used, the prince's
personal pride In hts possession has led
him to have his ow*n coins and
stamps as well, bearing his name end
face and title.

the unreality of it all. Coming to Va-

twenty-six delegates to the Democratic

All district delegates were Instructed

opinion that If thla system la followed

The* Hawthorne Centenary.
By an odd coincidence the birthday
of the author whose work la a more
absolute, a more unquestioned Imagin
ative achievement than that of any
other American, fall* on July 4th. A
hundred years ago Nathaniel Haw
thorne waa born In Balm. Maas. He was
of atralght Puritan descent, his ances
tors numbering among them efficient
men In the colony—seamen, men of af
fairs. The Hawthornes seem to hay#
been a reserved and Intellectually inde
pendent race. Ojis of them, a prominent
udge in witchcraft days, condemned
an innocent man to death, and the
family was popularly supposed to suf
fer from the "witches' curse,” after ths
manner of the Pyncheons In The House
or the Beven Gable*. In fact, that story
embodies not s little of the family tra
dition. slightly transmuted to the pur
poses of Action. Tme recluse strain was
strong tn both Hawthorne and hts eld
er slater, although the Isolation In
which the Immediate family lived waa
partly due to Mrs. Hawthorne’s com
plete retirement from the world after
her husband's early death. For ten
years after Hawthorne's graduation
from college, he says that perhaps there
were not twenty persona In Balem who
knew that there waa such a person In
existence ss himself. Then came hla
meeting with Sophia Peabody—a love
episode as purely poetic ss the meeting
of the Brownings, and the man partly
issued from the shadowy life of dreams.
Blx years after hla marriage Hawthorne
wrote hla wife: "Thou art the only
person In the world that ever was nec
essary to me. Other people have occa
sionally been more or less agreeable,
but I think I was always more at ease
alone than In anybody*’ company till
1 knew thee. And now I am only my
self when thou art within my reach.**
In an almost literal sense the compan
ionship of his life was Hawthorne's
on# vital social experience. Without
her he would Indeed have been solitary.

Mending by Machine.
Blncc rending »he plea for the Inven
tion of a mending machine. In the Jan
uary National Magaxlne, I am moved
to recommend the use of the sewing
machine in that capacity. Few women
know to whnt extent that useful Inven
tion will lighten the weekly darning
and patching. It may be used with
perfect success for flne darning, such
aa table linen or the little glrl'a sum
mer frocka.
Use thread according to the texture
of the goods to be mended: forty for
underwear and coarser muslins, atxty
to eighty for cottons and eighty und
flner for tuble linen and flne white
goods.
I*ay a piece of the goods under the
hole or rent. The stitch should be long
nnd the tension somewhat loose for knit
underwear. Stitch with the weave of
the goods And do the work on the right
aide. Btltch down and paat'the tear on
the right aide, turn the work to the left
and take one stitch, then up parallel
with the first row of stitching,
then one stitch to the left, nnd so on
across the place to be mended. It Is
sometimes wise to cross these flrat
linen w ith other stitching, as one would
In darning with a needle.
In darning thin goods or cloth so
loosely woven that It does not feed
easily, the trouble may be overcome
by stretching the portion taut on an
embroidery hoop, which will slip edge
wise under the machine foot.
Patching Is so easily and quickly
done by machine that it seema strange
we should ever have done It in our
E andmothers' way.—Agnes N. Wilt-
fger In National Magaxlne for July.
Pure Milk Rare.
Milk la not only milk. It may carry
fllth and germs of disease. In fact,
absolutely T>ure milk Is practically un
known. With the reflnlng of all our
Ideals of living, clean milk has come to
be as much of a neceslty aa clean wa
ter of clean meat. The producing of
clean milk la a new* business. The
business Is yet In its experimental
stage; that Is, It Is yet scarcely on a
commercial basis for any great num
ber of men. But how greatly thla sub.
;«ct Is deweloptng may be Judged
from the fact that a certain man of
thorough education, high culture and
the beat of social connections la now
devoting hla attention, as a profession
al business, largely to the planning
and building of cow stables and barns

Formalities of Tubbing at European

Why Fruit Treat Fall.
Country' Life in America points out
that the dropping off of younjt fruit la
not due to Insect pests, aa It la popu
larly supposed. More often It Is be
cause of the fact that many varieties
of fruits are not self-sterile and the
blossoms require the 'contact of the
pollen of other varieties- before they
will mature fruit Not getting this
pollen, many fruit trees do not bear
at all or very much. The same meth
ods of grafting and planting will often
baar large fruit and plenty of It
