Dr. T. J. Strait was iu York 8
ville this week looking arter his
political interests. He is quite
sanguine of suocess at the ap v
proaching primary. There can be c
no doubt about the fact that 1
there has been a strong reaction
in his favor, the outgrowth of the *
McLaurin incident at the York *
court house three years ago. ?
Many good Democrats who ^
blamed Dr. Strait that d.iy have ^
lived to see their mistake and
that he told the truth when he r
said McLaurin was no Democrat. f

The Yorkville correspondent (
of the Greenville News sends
that paper the remarkable information
that Hon. W. B. deLoach 1
is the only avowed Prohibition
candidate for the legislature in
York county, and that he will be, (
or is as good as, elected. Mr. ,
deLoach may be elected, but it i
will not be because he is a Prohi- 1
bitionist, and if he runs as a Pro- j
hibitionist he will not poll any- f
thing like the vote he would I
otherwise. The Prohibitionists |
make a good deal of noise, hut
there is not in reality much more I
than a hatful of these visionaries '
in York county.?Yorkville Yeo

operations were the most profita- j

Strait, candidate for congress, I
was in Yorkville recently He c
told your correspondent that he r
was getting along nicely and that ^
he has every reason to believe ^
that he will be elected. He said t
it as though he actually believed j
he was stating the truth. If any- t
one elae in the dittrict, however, p
would try the Rame thing a writ t
of lunatico inquirendo would be 8
the appropriate thing. Finley *

"EVERYBODY'S MAGAZINE" FOR
AUGUST."
In the August issue of Everybody's
Magazine the delightful
autobiography of Stuart Robson
grows in fascination. The lights
and shades of a great actor's
career stand out vividly. It is a
human document,?a confidence,
and the reader shakos hands, as
it were, with many famous figures
of that day. The title for the
nonth, in the serier of Great
American Industries, is "Where
We Get our Salt and How" and
ihe k'Sinij>le Explanation" is of
'Tides, Trade Winds and Tornaioes."
Elementary ? Very likely
but everybody cannot explain
>flfiiand?as Everybody's does?
lie theory of the tides, for jo
dance. The short stories are all
;oinplete and peculiarly well
ihosen. The articles on "Britlin's
Fighting Elephants," "Wl at
i Bicycle Can Carry," "How Italy
Hobs Her Poor", "Deaf and Dumb
>oldiers" and "A Town Slipping
nto the Sea" are well worth readng,
in fact there is entertainment
in every page of this issue and
otnething more?intense interest,

JIIINESE DOWNCAST
BY FALL OF TIEN TSIN.
Sow Said to bo Seeking Terms ot
Peace.
London, July 23.?Sir Chih
Jhih Chen Loh Feng, the Chinese
minister in London, took the un
jsual atep yesterday of paying a
Sunday call at the foreign office.
As Lord Salisbury was absent,
the visit was without special re*
lult, but its importance may be
gathered from an interview with
IIih hoornl ary ot the Chinese legs*
lion, Sir Halliday Msccartuey in
which the legation officials set m
to have assomed at last something
like person*! responsibility.
Sir Hallidav admitted that
zoinmunication had been pracn
sally reopened with Pekin and
that messages from Sir Claude
Macdonald, the British minister,
ilia me oiner lareign envoys
might be expected almost immediately.
H? said he hoped the
trouble would soon be over, since
the Chinese government was do
ing its utmost to overcome the
difficulties and to control the
law less element. In his opinion
the Americans had taken the
most common sonse view of the
situation, and he insisted that
China ought not be misjudged.
Against the suspicion that Li
Hung Chang hap any but a sincerely
pacific ob;ect in view he
protested warmly, declaring that
nil stories about the perfidy and
treachery of Earl Li were "absolutely
baseless,"
With regard to the prospects
n the southern provinces, the
lecretary admitted that there
might he small outbreaks but he
laid there would be nothing seri)us
and that Europeans would be
luite safe in treaty ports. The
otig silence he explained as "due
irohablv to the rebels, who h?v?
:ut the (wires and blocked the
oads."
Thus according to the secretary
if the Chinese legation, a few
lays more should bring a golulon
of the great mystery. Neverheless
no one in England
>elieves that the alleged dis
latches and edicts are anything
>ut subterfuges to hide the real
ituation as long as possible and
o avert retribution by sowing
liscord among the powers. ^
HMPRE88 DOWAGER MOVING.
From Shanghai comes a report
hat the empress dowager and
he court are moving to Hsiao
"u (?), in the province of Shan
>i, to which large stores of rice
ire being sent, and that, when
hese arrangements are completid,
the remaining viceroys will
leHare against foreigners.
CHINESE DISHEARTENED.
According to the Che Foo corespondent
of the Daily Mail the
he fall of Tien Tain has so disleartened
the Chinese that they
ire seeking terms of peace. He
ay that several attempt* have
>eeu made to send message* to
i'ekin but so far without anv
mown results adds that rumois
ire agaiu current that the Kus
lians are reaching Pekin from
he north. It in impossible to con
Irm or deny these statements;
)ut either one might explain
China's effort to gain time.

? There was a good rain fel
here Tuesday afternoon to th<
delight of gardnora and suburbinf
farmers. We hope that it hai
been general all over the county
the Daily Mail declares thai the
Chioeee officials are thoroughly
frightened by the fall of Tien
Tain .and desire to open nogotia
lions. "'Therefore," he continues,
"although all are aware of the
horrible Pekin massacres, every
official down to the humblest re
tainer has been sworn to secrecy
upon tho penalty of wholesome
executions should the detail?
leak out.. Thev hope, if the powers
once begin negotiations, to
stop the military operations and
that matters might, cool down."
There 11 the usual crop of
Shanghai rumors at hand th 1 e
morning. One is that Prince Tuan
has been abducted and that the
empress dowager is again supreme.
Another is that the notorious
Kang Yi, president, cf the
board of war, has been appointed
viceroy of Canton.
FIOHTINO RRRKL8 ONLY.
The Tien Tain correspondent of
the Daily News says the allies
have issued a proclamation announcing
that they are not fighting
China, but only the rebels
who have been guilty of attacks
upon the foreigners.
The decision to keep the Indian
division at Hongkong is supposed
to be due to the disquieting pro
ceedings of the "black flags" at
Canton. It is reported that the
Bogue forts are being rearmed
by the Chinese with quick firing
Krupp* and large stores of am
munition and that the Chinese
are mounting guns and laying
torpedoes at various advantageous
points between Woo Sung
and Wu Chang. The foreigners
and Japanese traders have evacuated
Niu Chwang, where the
roads are now guarded by Jap
anese marines.
Li Hung Chang's visit tc
Shanghai seems to be a complete
failure. Except the Chinese cus
torn official?, no ono has visited
him. Sheng, the chief magistrate,
gave the consuls a cordial invi
tation to meet him at luncheon
but all declined.
The Shanghai corespondent ol
The Daily Express pretends tc
have authority for the assertior
that (ireat Britain will repudi
ate any credentials Li Hung
Chang may bring from the em
press dowager, and he adds
"Russia, however. is willing tc
make terms with Li Hung Ohane
whose real mission is to sow diR
