clare war. Kvcn his statement that his
government hail declared war would not
make It ko. A declaration of wnr, It U
pointed out by tho best authority, is a per
fectly distinct and obvious proceeding.
Only ('imitrr i'mi Declare Wnr,
In thin country a declaration of war
may be made only by congress. Only once
In the present century has such n declara
tion been made, namely. In 1S12 against
Orcat Ilrltaiti. War may exist actually
between tho t'nlted States and nnolher
lountry, mh was tho cato between this
country and Mexico, without action by
congress. The Mexican wur had progressed
fourteen months before action was taken
by congress. Troops of the t'nlted States
had Invaded Mexico and several Important
battles had been fought before congress, to
Insure, the legality of tho contest and to
protect the rights of tho United States
as a probable conqueror, declared that a
slate of war had existed fiom a date four
teen months prior to the action of con
gress. Congress did not declare war
against Spain. It declared simply th.it n
Btnfo of war existed from a specified time.
Among European nations the method of
procedure Is simpler, but ijultc ns obvious.
War Is declared either by edict or by
proclamation. It may be declrrntlrn or
war or It may be the official recognition
that a slate of war exists. In either event
the news of such netlon would bo published
to tho world Immediately. Diplomatic
representatives of the powers making the
declaration would bo notified Instantly In
order that they might communicate tho
iniormation to tiie governments to which
they wore accredited. Tho Information
would bo conveyed nt onco to the nation
against which the declaration was madts
In turn this nation would notify its diplo
matic representatives abroad that tho
might govern themselves accordingly.
Within three hours after the ortlclul decla
ration nf congress that tho United States
was at war with the, kingdom of Spain the
Bpanlsh government had on tho wires an
Identlrnl note to all governments to which
tt had accredited representatives, notify
ing them of the existence of a state of
nor between Spain and tho United States.
Xnt War, hut Stntc of Slcjte.
The understanding among Washington
officials of Russia's action Is that tho em
pire haH declnrcd tho threo provinces on
Jts southeastern frontier In n state of siege.
Thla Is altogether different from n declara
tion of war. It corresponds to a declaration
of martial law by Great Hrltaln nnd to a
suspension of tho right of habeas corpus
by tho United States. It is a supcrcesslon
of civil by military authority. It has no
effect upon such treaties ns may ho In force
between tho two countries, whorcas a dec
laration of war or a declaration that n
stato of war exists would annul all treaties.
It Is pointed out further that Hussla has
two objects In her present operations In
China tho rcscuo nnd protection of tho
foreign legatloners and tho protection of
her mcnacod frontier. Tho avowed object
of tho other powers Is simply tho rescuo
nnd protection of tho legatloners and other
foreign subjects.
In carrying out her second object, Itussla
has seized New Chwang. This was done to
obtain a baso of operations from which tho
frontier could easily bo reached, precisely
ns Tnku was seized hh a base of operations
by tho allies in their operations against
I'ekln.
United Jitnle Xot LlUrlj to llctlrc.
Whether In tho event of a declaration
of war by ono or moro powers against
China, an Invitation would be oxtendod to
tho United States to retire from China,
as Intimated In tho dispatch from Cho Foo,
Is open to doubt and It In decidedly prob
lematical, It Is said, whether tho Invltatlou
would bo accepted, even If It wero ton
dorcd. Tho United States forces nro In
China protecting tho personal nnd property
rights of citizens of this country and In
addition tho treaty rights of the United
States. Under tho most favored nation
clauso, this country has certain Bpeclflc
rights In China and It Is said on authority
to bo tho purpoBo of tho United States to
protect and preserve those rights. Tho at
titude this government would assume In the
event of a declaration of war by another
power would depend. It Is stated, upon Im
mediate circumstances surrounding the
declaration nnd tho situation In China at
the time the declaration was made. In auy
event It can bo said to bo no part of tho
purpose of the United States to sacrifice
any of Its guaranteed rights or privileges
In the Chinese empire.

Tho fact that Constable T. W. Wilson's re
volver failed fire In a street row here last
night is probably tho only reason that
"Hustler" McOary Is still enjoying life.
"Rustler," with two friends. George Maul
den and Rollle Curtis, had be6n drinking
and wero loafing along the street when ac
costed by the officer for being disorderly.
Several stories arc told of the origin of the
altercation, but. at any rate, words grew
Into blows. McOnry was struck several
times over tho head with a londcd cann and
Wilson was struck not less than half a dozen
times In the face with the fists of his op
ponent. Tho other men did not Indulge In
tho tlstlo portion' of the program. Seeing
ho was getting the worst of It nnd being
unnblo to arrest his man, the constable
drew his revolver, aimed It nt the head of
McCary nnd pulled tho trigger tlmo and
again. It failed to respond. McOary made
for Wilson tho second time nnd the ofTlcer
turned and ran up the street. The three
men then disappeared. Maulden and Curtis
were found last night, but McOary was not
located until this morning. They were
Jailed, but later released on bond and will
appear In police court for trial in the
morning. McOary's scalp was cut open
clear across the top of his head.

NOT AS FAST AS PICTURED
PnrU n Painfully Slim ity In the
.Mailer of Trannliiir
tutlon. PARIS, Aug. 14. (Correspondence of The
Bee.) To the thousnnds of Americans who
nro nnd intend to visit Paris this summer
tho problem of street transportation in this
great and beautiful city on the Seine Is ono
of great Importance. How to move com
fortably and expeditiously from point to
point while sight. seeing Is one of the most
preselng needs of the tourist. In view of
this fact a fow words concerning the various
methods of getting about In Paris may not
be out of place.
Purls differs Rrcatly from an American
city in rcgnrd to her street transit facilities.
Iu New York ono has the choice of the ele
vated, tho cable, the trolley, the horse car
or tho bus. Paris has practically only the
last two, known here ns the train car nnd
tho omnibus. A railroad nlto makes n
complete circuit of the city's old boundary.
A few of the tramwnys nro propelled by
steam, but these are few nnd far between,
as they are not allowed to pass the mnlu
streets In the city. New York sacrifices
beauty for speed. Paris the contrary. The
Parisian prides himself on the handsome
appearunce of his city and would much
rattier wait an hour for a bus las 1 have
done Bcvcrnl times than sec his city, which
ho lovca, so desecrated by the cars. Omni
buses form tho most common method of
street travel nnd there nre thousunds of
them In use. They are nil owned b'y tho
"Comppgnle Generate des Omnibus," nnd
aro divided Into thirty-four lines, distin
guished by the letters of tho alphabet. Some
of theio buses are drawn by two nnd others
by three horses. Both nre double-deckers,
having half their scats inside nnd half on
top. the latter being reached by a spiral
stnlmuo In tho rear.
o CriMtilltor There,
The method employed In Inking nn omni
bus shows perhnps more than anything elso
that money Is tho object nnd not tlmo.
One must go to a "bureau" (and theso
offices nro quite a wnys npnrt) nnd nsls for
n "numero" (numbered ticket). A enrd
having the number printed on It is Issued
In rotation to each applicant, of which
there aro many. When tho 'bus arrives
tho conductor calls off these numbers In
rotation nnd when your number Is cnllcd
then you hustle for your sent. Of course
we Amerlrnns nluays prefer tho top In
order to see -the sights. When all tho
senta aro taken n sign Is put up reading
"complot," nnd not nnother soul ran got
In. There Is' no such a thing ns hopping
on ns they do In Omaha. If most of tho
Omaha people would havo to put up with
this method of rnpld trnnslt 1 believe they
would nil wnlk. Tho fnre on top Is 3 cents
and on the Insldo 6 cents. On the electric
lines, where they pull trailers, the fore
In the motor, which Is generally closed, Is
6 cents, or 30 centimes, nnd In the trailer,
which as n rulo is an open ear, Is 3 cents,
or 15 (qulnzo) centimes, but most of tho
cars are doublq-dockers.
Another method of cheap transportation
Is by tho Sclno boats, whern tho fares
rango from 2 to S cents In American money.
Tho most comfortable mothod of gottlug
to Paris and about it Is by means of cabs
or "flacre," of which thero are 15,000 In
dally use. Tho boh fnre within tho forti
fication for one or two persons Is 30 cents
and 5 cents tip to tho driver, a total of
35 cents. This tipping In Europe, espe
cially In Paris. Is something awful, when
one Isn't used to It, or should hnppen
to forpet. Don't forget to tip everybody
In Paris If you wish to bo happy. Some
of the cabs aro fitted up with an arrange
ment on the cyclometer style, which regis
ters, on n dlnl In view' of the hirer tho dis
tance traveled, the tlmo of day, fnro due
and tho tip 1 suppose, too. In Germany,
Holland and Belgium they do not rldo as
here, In the most beautiful city in the
world. F. II. K.

At tho meeting of the Board of Educa
tion this evening another session of tho
Hoctor site controversy will probably bo
held. For somo time It has been currently
rumored that the board had plans of de
posing Secretary Bretinnn, but no deflnlto
action to accomplish this end seems ns
yet to have been planned. Mr. Brennan has
stated positively that he will not resign
voluntarily nnd more than that says he
doesn't know how they nre golug to get
rid of him. He still positively refuses to
sign tho wnrrant for the purchase price of
the Hoctor lots, upon which it Is contem
plated building a new High school. The
writ of mandamus that has promised to bo
forthcoming ever since his refusal to sign
tho warrant still remains In oblivion nnd
therefore many thltik that the members of
the board who favor tho money being paid
to Hoctor have another card to play and
that cord deals dlrectely with Mr. Bren
nan In his official capacity. Mr. Hoctor
claims that under tho law Mr. Brennan has
no volco In tho matter, but that It Is his
plain, sworn duty to sign the wn'rrant and
allow the land to be deeded to the district.
Urentun, however, seems to view the mat
ter in a different light and says that he
courts mandamus proceedings ns much ns
Mr. Hoctor says he docs.
It is true that no definite statement enn
bo made by tho school treasurer nt this
tlmo ns to tho amount of school money
In his hands owing to tho outstanding war
rants and tho Interest that has accrued
upon them. From n careful estimate, how
ever. It would seem thnt tho treasury has
at least $0,500. the price that has been
agreed upon for theso lots.
It seems now that Brennan stands prac
tically alono In his determination In tho
board. At the tlmo a voto was taken upon
the purchase six members voted for tho
purchase, one was absent and Mr. Brennnn
said thnt the lund should not become tho
property of tho district. The absent mem
ber wns Roberts nnd he hns not committed
himself on tho subject
Tho board's netlon tonight Is promising
a scries of surprising movements. Thnt
they will tend to question tho conduct of
Mr. Brennan is not doubted, but Just ns
to tho course that will bo adopted little is
known nnd tho members of the bonrd who
wero approached yesterday either said they
knew nothing about the matter or refused
to tnlk on tho subject .
Drnivni'il While llntlllllK.
Frnnk Vnn Sunt. 11 years old, a son of
John Van Sant. residing nt Fifty-Ural and
It street, was drowned yesterday nfternoon
while bathing with n number of his com
panions In a small pond near tho home.
None of the boys could swim, but were
sporting around In the shallow water. The
drowned lad wnded out beyond his depth
and Immediately sank. The other boys Im
mediately ran to the house and gnvo the
alarm. His mother wns In the house alone
and sho ran to tho water's edge and at
tempted to recover tho body. Sho was hys
terical nnd her screams attracted the at
tention of her husband, who was near tho
house. He rushed to tho pond nnd wading
out found the body and carried It to the
house.
Every effort was made to rccustlcnte
tho llttlo fellow nnd Dr. Abcrly wns cnllcd,
but when he arrived tho boy was dead, ns
he probably was when brought to tho sur
fare. The parants were unanaro that the boys
were In the wntcr. Knowing that It wns
deep, they had forbidden them going near
It. The coroner was notified and will hold
an Inquest today.
