The indications for Georgia to-day are for fair and warm weather, with fresh southwesterly winds; and for eastern Florida showers with light to fresh south easterly winds. Kansas City is a pretty long ways from salt water, nevertheless most of the poli ticians have been at sea ever since they arrived there. Wireless telegraphy has not yet been adopted in China, nevertheless a consid erable lot of wireless news is finding Its way out of that country. - - '" ~ A Seth Low Is being prominently talked of as the Republican candidate for Gov ernor of New York. Is It possible that Tim Woodruff will never be able to do better than play second fiddle? An expert predicted some time ago that the fire losses in the United Stales during the current year would not be less than $175,000,000. It looks like had started in to furnish her full share of the total. The Boer generals, Botha and DeWet, who are at the head of the military af fairs of the South African republics, are both young men. It was thought that when the old commanders, Cronje and Joubert, had been retired—one to prison and the other to the grave—the strength of Boer opposition to the British would be destroyed. But the young commanders have shown themselves hardly less able lighters than their more experienced pre decessor*. The movement Inaugurated several weeks ago In Philadelphia to organize a national negro party for political pur poses has been abandoned and declared off. The originator of the project savg that since the meeting of the Republican convention In Philadelphia last month, he can see no need of such a party. Possi bly the view of the statesman in question has been obstructed by something held between Chairman Hanna’s thumb and forefinger. Report* from Delaware say the peach crop of that state will be among the best within the recollection of the oldest Inhabitants. The June crop was rather light, but the July and August crop will more than make up for deficiencies of the June yield. Small and knotty fruit has been practically unseen this season, while the fruit now coming on will be excep tionally large and luscious. It Is esti mated that the output will not fall below 4,000,000 baskets. The accident lo the Oregon recalls the fact that the captain who brought her around the Horn on that wonderful run, and fought her so effectively off Santiago, has not yet received any reward from htz grateful (?) government. He was ad vanced some numbers, it ie true, but when Dewey's captains bad been advanced, It was found that the effect had been to place Capt. Clark lower down the list than ho would have been If he hed never made Ills great trip, and there had been no war with Spain. Capt. Clark’s brilliant achievements, as a matter of fact, hove resulted In the Imposition upon him cf practically a penalty. Tkß CHINESE SITUATION' ALARMING The situation in China such as to cause the governments of all of the Christian nations intense anxiety and alarm. Pekin Is in the hands of the Box ers and their purpose is to kill every for eigner in that city. They have killed the German minister, and according to the dispatches published this morning they have killed the ministers of all of the other Christian governments and all the other foreigners there. If Prince Tuan, who is at the head of the Boxer Society, and who is virtually dictator at Pekin, is permitted to have his way for a little while longer it will be difficult to prevent the massacre of all missionaries and other foreigners, together with the native Christians throughout the greater part of the empire. The viceroys are trying to maintain order in the southern provinces, but if Prince Tuan is success ful at Pekin for a short time longer, his policy of exterminating all foreigners will be successful. The foreign powers have about 14,000 men si Tien Tsin, and the number is be ing Increased all the time by fresh arri vals. The allied forces have not dared to march to the relief of the ministers at Pekin because of the very large Chinese army that blocks the way. It would be folly to attempt to reach the Chinese capital with an inadequate force. Ad miral Seymour's experience was a warn ing that will be heeded. Capt. MeCalla is of the opinion that it will take an army of 60,000 men to reach Pekin. It will be a month before a force of that size can be collected at Tien Tsin, unless dependence Is placed almost wholly on Japan. The disposition now seems to be to let Japan furnish the greater part of the troops required for the movement on Pekin. The German Emperor is very much wrought up over the assassination of the German minister. He purposes to throw a large army into China and make that country pay dearly for the insult to the German flag. The governments of the other Powers will feel pretty much the same way If their ministers have been, or shall be, assassinated. All of the Powers are disturbed by the fear that if they send large forces to China that empire may become the the ater of a great war between them. While they may get along together until the safety of all o? the foreigners that have not been murdered has been secured, it is about certain tha they will not be able to agree as to what policy shall ue pursued after the object which caused, them to send armies to China has been accomplished. One Power will want to do one thing and another will insist upon doing another thing. Softie will take the position that the empire should be dis membered while others will take a stand in favor of preserving Its integrity. Sev eral of the Powers now have what they call spheres of Influence in China which they are anxious to enlarge. To them the present disturbances will seem to offer the very best opportunity possible for accomplishing their object. Thus far the United States have taken the position that a state of war with China does not yet exist-that the Chi nese government is still trying to keep Its obligations to foreign governments, but has not been able to do so, because of the strength of the rioters. Assuming that this view Is the correct one, it is evident that if the peace and commerce of the country are to be preserved a stronger power than the government must take control of affairs. If the foreign governments which are interested In China should establish a protectorate over the empire it is probable that that settlement would not be a lasting one. The half dozen or more Powers that would be interested In the protectorate would not get along together any more than England, Germany and the United States were able to agree In their management of Samoa. That the question which China pre sents Is a serious one there is no doubt. The government of the United States and of European countries see and appre ciate its difficulties. They recognize the fact that in order to effect a satisfactory settlement of it the ablest kind of di plomacy will be required. A failure to reach any agreement in regard to it might mean war on a stupendous scale. DEWEY HEADY HIR ACTIVE SER VICE. The navy department has been consid ering the possibility of much more serious trouble in China than at present exists there, and has perfected plans for action in the event that it becomes necessary to increase the Asiatic fleet. It is stated that Admiral Dewey will be offered the com mand of the fleet if it is Increased to any considerable extent, and that he has ex pressed his willingness to accept. Command of the Asiatic fleet with the prospect of duplicating his brilliant achievement in Manila bay would do much to restore to the Admiral the popularity he lost by the gift house transaction and the venture into the field of politics. Ad miral Dewey is still, of course, a very popular man. He occupies a high place in the affections of the people, but It will hardly be denied that he has lost some of the esteem in which he was held when ho arrived in New York from Manila. The unwise things which he has said and done have led many people to think that he is lacking in judgment in many things not connected with the naval ser vice. They still believe in him. however, as a sea fighter, and they would willing ly see him In command of a fleet on the Asiatic station, if the United states should have trouble in that port of the world of sufficient importance to demand the ser vices of so distinguished a naval officer. While the navy department has been getting ready for war in the Far East, the war department has been doing noth ing in that direction. The Secretary of War say* that he has done nothing be yond ordering a couple of regiments to the scene of trouble in China. Evidently he Is of the opinion that the trouble there will be settled without much more fight ing. The dispatches, however, indicate that there may he need of many more American troops in China than have yet been ordered there. It Is awfully hard to understand women. Many of them insist upon wearing the trousers of the family, nevertheless when Mr. Chalmers of New York told his wife, Belie, that she might adopt trousers and thus avoid spending so much money for dresses, she orled and said he was a mean old thing, and sued him for divorce, al leging cruelly. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY; JULY 5. 1900. ; SPEECH OF THE TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN, The speech of Gov. Thomas, temporary chairman of the Democratic Convention, is well calculated to make an excellent impression on the country. It points out the strong points of the Democratic posi i (ion, and the weak ones of the Republican. 1 it makes it clear that the Democratic party is the party of the plain people, and (hat the Republican party Is the party of ' the rich and of corporate wealth. It leaves no doubt as to where the Dem ocratic party stands on the money ques , tion, the expansion question, and the ques | tion of trusts. It is a notable fact that, as far as ascer | tained. the laboring classes of the country are against the policy of imperialism. They realize that If that policy prevails j the country will, in all probability, be overrun by Asiatics, who, on account of their willingness to work for starvation wage*, would moke It difficult for Amer ican workmen to keep their dinner pails full. The Republican party has always pretended to be watchful of the interests of American workmen. It can not pre tend to be so any longer. By its policy of imperialism it would bring under the protection of the American flag millions of laborers, able and willing to live on a few cents a day, who would compete with the laborers of the United States. The speech states ptainly the attitude of the Democratic party on the Nicaragua canal question. The canal should be an American institution, wholly under Amer ican control, to be open to the commerce of the world in time of peace, but to be fortified, and to be managed for the beet interests of the United States In time of war. The speech will make a flrst-clase cam paign document. It states briefly, but lum inously, the main differences between the Democratic and Republican parties, and gives the reasons why the principles of the Democratic party are to be preferred. Senator Wolcott's speech, as temporary chairman of the Republican Convention, was perhaps a more finished production, but it will not prove to be as effective a campaign document as that of Gov. Thomas. INCREASE IN SOUTHERN INDUS TRIES. There Is no doubt that the census will show that there has been a very remark able Increase In the number of Indus tries in the South during the last ten years. The Philadelphia Record, in on article on this subject, says: "The Industrial growth of the Southern states is a perennial source of surprise, to the South itself as well as to other sections. Although there Is every reason why, once started, manufacturing estab lishments should multiply rapidly in states so long dormant, the figures often tax credulity. Indeed, there has been great exaggeration as to the capital new ly invested in industrial enterprises in the South as a whole.” The Record places a great deal of reli ance on the reports of trade journals. No*doubt these journals seek to be cor rect in their reports. If, however, all of the Industries reported by them were in existence, the South would hardly be big enough to hold them. There would oe factories enough of one kind and another in the Southern states to do the manufac turing for the whole world. The chief sources of Information of these trade Journals are the newspapers. The newspapers report a great many factories projected which are never built. It often happens also that one factory Is reported two or three times, so that the trade jour nals which depend upon them are misled. Still, the industrial activity in the South, since the census of 1880 was taken, has been very great. And it is only begin ning. More mills are being built in the South now than at any Other time In her history. The development in the iron and coal sections of Alabama and Tennessee is phenomenal. Alabama alone is now making 40 per cent, of all of the iron used in American foundries and pipe works. It is stated that the total American exports of pig iron in 1899, were 228,000 tons. Of this amount Alabama furnished 167,000 tons, or three-fourths of the entire Amer ican shipments. In the Alabama district there are produced nearly 5,000 lons of pig iron a day. It is a question of only a few years when the industries of Ala bama will rival those of Pennsylvania. In the Carolinas and this state cotton factories are increasing so fast that they promise to use the greater part of the cotton these three states produce. That condition of affaire has about been reach ed in the Carolinas now. Great as the indue trial development of the South has been during the last ten years,, it will ap pear insignificant in comparison with that which will take place in the next ten. The board of health of Hoboken, N. J., has made a ruling requiring people who keep crowing cocks in their back yards to pay $1 license fee for each cock. This is in the Interest of peace and quiet. The peace, quiet, comfort and health of citi zens of Savannah receive very little at tention along the line of limiting the animals and fowls which may be kept in back yards. In this city a householder may pack bis back yard to its capacity with horses, cows, chickens, dogs, or any other beasts or fowls without offending anything except the olfactories of the neighbors and the rules of health. A whole block may be rendered disgusting ly malodorous by a cow lot in the center of it, but there is no redress for the neighboring householders nor for the landlord, the renting value.of whose prop erty. is depreciated. Notwithstanding Savannah Is a city, it still clings to many backwoods country-village ways. *♦ * I To Judge from the name one would not suppose that Alfonso do Hochejocqualain was an American; but he was, a citizen or Ohio, the son of English and French pa rents. Some years ago, however, he went to England and enlisted under Lord Rob erts for one of the colonial wars. Later he returned to Ohio. At the outbreak of the Transvaal war he again enlisted for service under Roberts. Not a great while ago he fell mortally wounded by a Boer bullet. So good a soldier had he proved that "Bob*” took an Interest in him and became his personal friend. Before he died, the soldier told the commander-in chief of the wife and four children he had left in Cleveland. The other day the widow received notice that the British government would present her with a house and lot in Toronto and allow her a pension of (20 per month A London story oays that Oalve, the I singer, recently won £I,OOO from Alfred ! Rothschild by sleeping at Windsor Cas ■ tie the night she sang there recently for the Queen’s entertainment. It is the cus | tom in the royal household to send sing ers and others who appear for the Que°n hack to their city homes the same even ing the entertainment is given. Calve, according to the story, asserted that she would be an exception to the rule, and ! Rothschild bet her £1,(00 to £lO that no ex ception would be made in her favor. At Windsor, Calve suddenly developed a se vere cold, and for fear that a night trip would nuike her ill, she was "commander to remain. While the singer -won her bet, it is probable that she has lost the oppor tunity of singing at the palace again. A pitiable lot of “ifs” have been sug gested by the great Hoboken fire. If the tug boat men had been less mercenary fewer lives would have been lost. If the dock*? had been provided with fire walls the flames would not have spread so rap idly, if at all. If the portholes of the Saaie had been larger her imprisoned might have crawled through them and been saved. If the ships had had steam up, they might have becked out of the docks and escaped. A New York steve dore supplies another suggestive “if,” to the effect that if the authorities of that city do not take greater precautions with respect to the docks there will one of these days be a worse lire on the New York wuier front than there was in Hoboken. “Where the flag has been set up,” says Gov. Roosevelt, “there the flag shall stay until a system of law and order is es tablished.” What’s this? Is the tail end of the ticket going to revise the perora tions of the head of it? President Mc- Kinley, it will be remembered said: “There is the flag; who will haul it down!” He said nothing ahoiM it’s com ing down when a system of law and or der had been established. If “Teddy” gets to monkeying with and qualifying tfye imperialism of his party, without consent from headquarters, he may find himself out of harmony with the bosses. The Raleigh Observer says that perhaps "if the South were less solid, it might draw a vice presidential nomination at Kansas City.” But it will not draw anything at Kansas City. In the event of Mr. Bryan’s election it might possibly draw one cab inet place and a few consulships. The business of the South at Kansas City i to furnish the enthusiasm, and in the No vember election to furnish the votes, while the North and the Weet get practically all of the plums on the tree. A Pennsylvania preacher, who up to a short time ago had been worrying along on an Income of $1,500 a year is now, by a stroke of fortune, the recipient of an In come of SSOO a day, with a fair prospect of becoming a millionaire before a great while. He was the owner of a bit of land in Missouri. Recently a zinc deposit was found on it. The preacher has sold out for $50,000 cash and a royalty of 10 per cent, on the output. The deposit is said to be exceptionally rich. BRIGHT HITS. Scene on the Quay. Ocean liner’s siren fog horn emitting short, sharp grunts.

The Charleston Post (Dem.) says: "Gov. Roosevelt, in a letter to Gen. T. L. Ross er of Virginia, makes much of his South ern connections, lie recalls thut ills moth er was a Georgian and that two of his uncles were officers in the Confederate navy. And with this heredity Gov. Roose velt. in the Republican convention of 1880, took the floor in advocacy of a negro as presiding officer against Gen. Powell Clay ton of Alabama and later gave a hearty indorsement to the infamous force bill which was being pressed in Congress by his friend, Cahot Lodge, of Massachu setts. A remarkable sort of Southerner he is." The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.) says: “Mr. Bryan is just as able a man as is President McKinley,'and just as honest. He Is very radical in his views, but if he should be nominated on a conservative platform nothing is to be feared from his radical notions. But if he be nominated on a radical declaration of principles, he will feel encouraged to act accordingly. It is, theretore, of the greatest Importance that the Democratic .Convention should adopt a sound conservative platform. That will go far to unite the Democrats, which is now all important.” The Nashville American, (Dem.) says: "George Fred Williams talks vigorously about New England’s demands. As New England will not contribute a single elec toral vote to the Democratic ticket, It would be in better taste for New England to lie low at Kansas City. But that is the way. The man who talks most does lees." The Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.) says: "it will be Impossible to keep the silver question out of tho Campaign, and the Democratic party has got to face that is sue whether it places anew plank in the platform or not. Mr. Bryan has the cour age of his convictions, and he is honest about the matter at all events.” The Norfolk Landmark (Dem.) says: "Virginia Is too surely Democratic to ob tain representation on the Democratic ticket. It sounds queer, but it's sd; and therefore it is useless to waste thought over the mention of Beiialor Daniel for the vice presidency.” Convention Storlen. Everybody believes that it was William ' J Bryan’s speech at the Chicago. Con vention that made him the nominee for the presidency in 189$, says the Sun’s Kansas City special. This illusion has bten dispelled lately by a story which v es to show that Bryan was playing for the nomination for many months preced ing the convert! n. He wrote Urey Wood. *on of Kentucky a month or two before the convention asking him for the names of Kentucky delegates. Woodson did not i --perd promptly and Bryan prodded him i h a second letter. When the Kentucky delegation met ft was found that Bryan had four of the delegates. It was al c o as c-rtaind that he had done missionary work in nearly every other delegation. Abo-ut the time Chairman Harrby called the convention to order Bryan sat on the l latfc-rm by ihe side of Woodson. Wood son asked Bryan who was going to be nminated for President and Bryan said he did not know. Woodson said he thought Eiand would be the man. “No,” Bryan said, “Bland will poll his state on the first ballot. After that, he will lose.” Woodson disagreed with him, but Anally Bryan said: “Woodson. I’ll tell you who is going to be nominated.” • Who is that?” queried Woodscn. “Well,” says Bryan, “it’s me,’ and he slarp'd himself on the chest. “Bim, the Button Man,” who went to the I hiladelphia Convention with his for tunes staked on a stock of McKinley and Roosevelt buttons, is placing his reliance upen some thousands of Bryan and Dan forth buttons, says the Tribune’s special. “Bim” is übiquitous and aggressive. Only by a stretch of the imagination can he be call- and han.cl.ome. He despises the con ventionalities of life, and stoutly refuses to adorn himself with a collar. He sat down at the hotel table with Elliot Dan forth at the Midland to-day. without as much as ask ng leave, and the Chennango sdk stocking statesman nearly had a fit th re and then in consequence. “Bim” didn’t mind. He only let out an addition al reef in his belt, and smiled benignant ly at Danforth. The latter’s face was a study. “Maybe,” he. presently said, “I don’t suffer in all the languages while Roose velt was ho dirg up his hands and shout ing, ‘I won't accept the' nomination,’ but In spite of my poignant and cruel grief, I Knew I was exactly right. ‘“Bim,” calm your asony; it s all right,’ but not until the deed was done did ‘Bim’ feci like a new r.eh man.” “But you’re off this time,” remarked someone. “Naw, I ain’t,” replied Mr. Bimburger. “but to be frank with you, I have also ‘Bryan and Belmont,’ and ‘Bryan and Hill,’ and’’—“Bim” lowered his voice to a whisi>er —“ ‘Bryan and Sulzer,’ Now,” he added, “take old ‘Bim’s’ word for it, and expect Bryan and Danforth, but say” —again “Bim” lowered his voice to a whisper, and a^ked —“say, where can I get a picture of Towne?” The proudest man in Kansas City Is Charles Hampton of Petoskey, Mich. Hampton of Petoskey has been selected to read the Declaration of Independence on Wednesday, says the New York Times’ special. He had a few Michigan friends up in his room to-day to hear a rehearsal When he had finished, his father-in-law led the applause, and then said: “Gul durn it, Charlie, I do believe that’s the best piece you ever writ. Let’s have it printed in the papers.” A number of delegates from Pennsyl vania and other states are sporting pink silk badges, on which are painted, “Dele gate from Samoa.” Naturally they attract attention, and the curious seek informa tion. When a question is asked the ques tioner is escorted to the nearest bar, and the badge wearer remarks: “What does it mean? Why, -Samoa beer, Samoa whis ky, or Samoa anything else.” “Yes. we expect to carry Kansas,” said J. Mack Love, “but the trouble is that the bands out there can stampede the whole state for the Republican party with one tune. Every four years we get the farm ers worked up to a point where they’re ready to vote for the Democratic ticket, when along comes a band playing ‘March ing through Georgia,* and it’s all off.” (furpr Pronunciations. Controversies over the pronunciation of Christian proper names will arise. Sun dry bottles of wine were wagered yester day between friends over Samuel Pepys of "Diary" renown.

A lawyer riding his bicycle on a foot path was caught by a policeman, says Col lier's Weekly. The cyclist at once came off the path, and tried to reason with the policeman, "You aren't really going to run me in for this?” he asked. "Yes, sir; I can’t help It.” "Well, come In here,-and we’ll talk about it over a glass of something.” The policeman followed the gentleman, who ordered two glasses of beer, one for himself, the other for the policeman, both of which were finished before he again re marked: "Surely you are not really going to make a fuss about this?” “I must, sir; it's my busineus." “Ah! (hen at the same time It will be my business lo report you for drinking beer while on duty." The policeman's expression changed. "You're a lawyer, I take it?" "Yes."

The tendency nowadays is to guard the monopoly of a patent more securely* than ever, for the profit in making any* new de vice lies largely in the fact that it is a monopoly. With sixty days’ notice In a state like Massachusetts it is possible to equip a factory with men and tools for duplicating almost any kind of a patent, and with competition the incentive to man ufacture is largely taken away." —The Italian civil list is one of the highest in Europe, but a large portion of the 16,000,000 lire of which it consists is absorbed by the cost of keeping up the plethora of royal palaces in all parts of the kingdom. For some time plans have been considered for reducing Ihe number of these costly residences, for which the royal family has but slight use. It now appears that ail these crown lands and residences are to be-sold either to pri vate purchasers or to the state adminis tration of domains, except the royal park at Monza, the royal palaces at Turin, Venice, Florence, Rome and Naples and the hunting grounds at Valsavaranche and Castle Porziano. Th£ palaces to be sold will be those of Genoa, Milan, Ca podimonte, Palermo, the hunting grounds of Valtournanche and Vinadio and nil the numerous properties of the ex-King of Naples. With the proceeds of thest sales the Palace of the Quirlnal, in Rome, will be reconstructed. —The latest authentic snake story Is from North Glen wood Farm, near Eas ton, one of the country pa Ices in Talbot county, Md. The other day* a big black snake was seen emerging from an ice pound. It was killed. A protuberance was noticed about the middle. The make was chopped in two, and a porcelain tur key* nest egg rolled out. Capt. Noble Robinson was tenant on the farm last year. Mrs. Robinson raised turkeys, us ing china nest eggs in their nests. She says that fourteen months ago she missed the nest egg from a nest near the ice pond. She supposed a boy who had the range of the meadows had taken it. When the egg from the snake was shown to Mrs. Robinson she Identified it as one she had lost by a certain incised mark upon it. The snake had carried the china egg fourteen months in his vermiform appendix apparently without having ap pendicitis. But he must have thought very hard of It, and that it was very singular that it could not be digested. —ln what is called "style” the Parisians surpass ihe world, says he Sc it sh Ame.i. can. Nine out of ten dress in black, which shows to the beet advantage the fine fig ure and brilliant complexion. There is usually a French touch of color in the hat. The hair is massed In most bewildering fashion; a veil with black dots is always worn, and the ensemble is simply inde scribable. The shop girls look like fash ion plates, and even the housemaids have an air about their dress which can be described only by the word Parisian. Crown Princess- Sada, who recently was wedded to the heir of the Mikado’s throne, was educated in the Peeresses' Institute In Tokio, and while there was the favorite pupil of one of the American lady teach ers. The young girl had a passion for the study of the heraldry of her own land, and extended it to that of her teacher's native country. It was her delight to read and talk of colonial times and to look at old prints picturing the men, women and fashions of the American colonies at that period. She had many tastes in common with her teacher, but upon one point they disagreed. It was the wearing of the na tive Japanese costume. The Princess would persist in donning stays, skirts, shirt waists and ail the adjuncts of the West ern toilet. One day the American teacher said to her: “Your Highness, why do you not wear your beautiful kimono to-day? It is so much more picturesque than that tailor-made gown." Sada laughed, and, passing a book of old colonial prints to her, replied: “Why don’t you wear clothes like those your ancestresses wore?" —When the atmosphere of Rome is be coming oppressive and the nobility, with others who can afford it, are making their exodus for the villeggiatura, or summer outing, a large portion of the prelates of the Catholic Church also leave the Eternal City to flee to the mountains Two only never leave their posts, the Pope and his secretary of state, Cardinal Rampolla. Leo XIII, however, is not al together wiihout his summer recreation. He spends the hot season at a little pal ace in the Vatican gardens which he has had constructed for the purpose. This says the Pall Mall Gazette, was original ly a most picturesque tower of Leo IV, built in the ninth century, which has been altered by additions to the require ments of Leo XIII. The new part con tains on the second floor a private sitting room—used also as a dining room—a bed room and a chapel, all upholstered and hung In red silk damask and adorned with precious modern pictures. On the same floor, connected with an open cor ridor, which is supported by graceful col umns, is the round reception room fol lowing the shape of the tower, for au dience* to great personages. The walls are twelve feet thick, while the ceilinr of the salon is painted with the signs of’the zodiac and the wails covered with re produetlons from the Sistlne Chapel The furniture is In red and gold, the whole being completed and rendered unique by the views of Rome and the Campugne aeen from the windows as through a telescope.
