Significance of Events Now tying on in China. Jas. Creelman in New York Journal It is no secret that the six great powers of Europe have been steadily preparing themselves for the break ing up of the Chinese empire. Japan s and the United States have also made ready for the collapse of the Manchu dynasty. The* whole world will feel the shock of the colossal events which are impending in Asia, and the spray of missionary blood which has set fleets and troops in motion toward i Tien-Tsin, is bat the first signal of a struggle that will probably involve every important nation. ' This assembling of war ships in ( the Gulf of Pe-chi li is not an ac- 1 cident. It is a part of a plan ma- * tared long ago. It is the first step J toward the partition of China and her four hundred million inhabitants , among the great powers. 1 Every important statesman in Eu- ^ rope has predicted that the political r roof of Asia would crash in this year " or next year, and that the first outbreak against Christian missionaries ^ would set the processes of dissolution in motion. . _ The thing that is about to happen will change the map of the world. ^ It may overturn more than one kingdom. c Dating my stay in China last year I learned enough to know that civil c ized Europe had officially decreed ^ the death of the empire. And when . I reached Europe I found that the ^ American ambassadors in the great , ii capitals bad been instructed b\ Q Secc-tary &ay to secure from the governments to which ihey were accredited definite pledges that, in the ^ event of the breaking up of China, , v tbe "open door" policy would bold in ^ all new territory acquired by tbem | It was well understood tbat tbis fc agreement between tbe powers of jj tbe world, secured through tbe e efforts of tbe United States, was made necessary by- unmistakable a evidence that China was powerless ^ to resist the all engulfing movements ^ of Bussia. . The fall of Poland gave tbe czar a ^ window looking out on Europe. g Then began the Bussian movement ^ toward Constantinople. Tbe Black g Sea was to be tbe base of a great T Bussian fleet. Tbis movement was checked by England, and triple alii- I ance, formed under the presidency of F the German emperor, has ever since u resisted tbe efforts of Pan-Slavism to si force a military outlet to tbe Medi- G terranean. % n Bussia turned her face from im a/?n akia t?i?haina 4-a f v? a /aw aaot /, icguttuic jjuiu^'c cu tuc iai cwi. IV Her engineers planned the Siberian cl railway, a steam highway six thoa- T and miles long. This was to give b Russia the outlet in the Pacific that b bad been denied to her in Europe. B Then came the China Japanese war. Japan drove the Chinese army T out of Corea, and an army corps, fcl under Field Marshal Yamagata, oc q copied the hermit peninsular. Japan m crossed the Yellow Sea and invaded tt Manchuria. Twenty-three thousand Japanese soldiers, under Field Mar- iu shal Oyama, conquered an empire at of four hundred millions. w It is true that the Japanese did tt not go beyond Port Arthur, Wei Hai- bi Wei and Tien- Chwang, but there is m no doubt that Oyatna's compact little 01 invading force could have marched oi from one end of the Chinese empire tl to the other without meeting effec- tt tive opposition. I accompanied the field marshal and saw everywhere ? complete and unmistakable evidence of the military impotency of China. bl The treaty of Shimonoseki gave a hi provmce of Manchuria, inclodiog the 01 powerfully fortified harbors of Port A .

Presently the world was Cl astonished by the news that China be had ceded, or leased for ninety-nine flc years?virtually a sale?Talien-Wan and Port Arthur, with its great dry C! dock for battleships. th The meaning of the Siberian rail- 01 way dawned on the miDd of Europe.

Her T6ung-liEamen is filled with tottering old tfandarins intent upon blackmail and rareless of the public interests. There is no national sentiment, pracically no army or navy, and no icheme of defense, external or inernal. It is the past passively esisiing the present and future. Che young emperor is either dead or t prisoner; and the ruthless empress fields whatever power she can. All is confusion, corruption and deay in China. Strong European tatesmen have attempted to save ler by means of internal reforms; >ut they have had to give up the mpoesible task.

The direct route to Pekin and 'ien-Tsin lies through the Gulf of 'e-Chi-Li, past the Taku forts and p the Pehu river. Russia holds one ide of this gulf; Great Britain and rermany the other side. All are eady to strike. Japan has never forgiven Russia >r taking away from her the Manburian territory, ceded by China, 'he Japanese government has almost ankrupted itself in the effort to uild a navy strong enough to resist I iussia.

And so the forces of death, greed, iternational jealousy and sleepless iibition are gathering at the gate- j ay of China. This may be only | le preliminary movement.

Eargle Commits Suicide. Columbia State. June 22nd. With a determination worthy of a better purpose, probably born of desperation, Mr. Jacob L. Eargle took a pistol, put its muzzle to his left temple, pulled the trigger and sent a bullet crashing through his skull yesterday morning. The bullet failing to destroy his consciousness he tried to get a razor to complete the job of self destruction. As a result of the injury he breathed his last about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and goes on to his grave with the usual public comments about a suicide. As to the latter he left no notes or letters of explanation. Mr. Eargle was not a native of Columbia, but came here from Lexington county some years ago. For several years he clerked at the Farmers1 and Mechanic's store, giving much satisfaction. At one time he was quite well-to do. Recently he has been conducting a grocery in the Collicut building on Gervais street. It was said yesterday that Mr. Eargle was much addicted to the liquor habit and for the past two years had been a steady drinker. Recently he has been drinking heavhy and was in an extremely nervous condition yesterday morning. To this is attributed tbe act. It was just about 11 o'clock yesterday morning when Mr. Eargle went into his place of business. Though he spoke pleasantly to the few people in the place, he had his mind made up; in his pocket was a 32-calibre pistol and a razor. In a few minutes those in the store weut out into the back yard where it was cooler. Mr. Eargle at onc9 went into a small closet, locked the door and in a few moments the report of a pistol rang out. Those who rushed in broke open the door and found the unfort-.imufo man Kafliorl in Viio nmn Wnnii He was still alive and conscious. He spoke incoherently. He was placed on a cot in the store and medical aid was summoned. The bullet had evidently passed between the brain and the 6kull. Dr. 0*vens was soon at his side, and did everything possible to alleviate his sufferings. Coroner Green happened to be near and did all in his power to alleviate the man's sufferings. He took charge of the pistol and razor. The news of the suicide spread rapidly and created considerable surprise. KT_ T? 1. -1 t 1 A f iur. j^argie was aoout years 01 age, waB married, his wife, who was a Miss Smeh zer, surviving him. He leaves no children. The end came about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

To protect grain from rust it is recommended that the affected cereals be crossed with resistant varieties. The loss from smut, which is also very heavy, may be reduced by treating the seed with hot water, to kill the smut spores. ???444 ???????????????????? 1 After He Comes I ? * 2 he has a hard enough time.
