LAST EDITION. COLLEGE BRED JOURNALISTS. THE SCHOOL. OF JOURNALISM 18 A FAILURE AT CORNELL. The Sudden Stonpnge After Two Years Creates Wonder The Newspaper Wan Graduates from the Prlntine Office.

Be Careful When You Go Into the Ocean Tbo Coining National Gnnrd Encampment. The School of Journalism at Cornell University has collapsed after a two years' struggle, and the only explanation that can be given is that tha young men turned out of the Bchool a3 ready made journalists were lamentable failures. Hero and there yoa will find instances of college bred men stepping into the journalistic harness right out of college and making a success of it, but they are very few mighty few. The real journalist is made in the newspaper office, and then he doesn't caU himself a journalist he calls himself a newspaper man, and he rather likes the name, although it is not so high sounding as journalist. George Welshons, of the Pittsburg Times, at a Republican State convention in this city some years ago, when the New York papers were recruiting their forces from the colleges, got away from a group of them on the Opera House stage, and sinking wearily into a chair atnoDg a lot of busy workers, exclaimed: "Let me get away from the New York journalists and get here with the Pennsylvania newspaper men." The hit was a good one, and is often recalled at conventions.

The best newspaper man is he who begins at the bottom and shows by his willingness and ability that he has his eye on the top round of the ladder. Sooner or later he gets there. Thk drowning accidents are beginning to be reported from "the seaside resorts. They are always sad, but in many instances the exercise of a little precaution would have prevented them. The man who i3 not strong breasted and strong limbed, has no right to venture too far into the water.

The man who is Bubject to cramps should not go out too deep and should always keep near where the crowd is bathing. The expert swimmer, who knows it all, simply helps to commit suicide when he insists on taking his timid friend into deep water, for the moment his timid friend finds himself over his head he naturally clutches the strong man, and the chances are that bath are drowned or nearly so before they can be taken out of the water. Th2re is a good bit of common sense to be learned by those who take a dip in the ocean, and the exercise of a little prudence may very often avert an accident. Tug indications arc that the encampment of the National Guard at Mt. Gretna this year will eclipse all former encampments, both in number and interest.

Besides the entire Pennsylvania division there will be a number of commands from the United States regular army, but in the general ronnd np nobody need have a fear that, ccntrasted with the regulars, the Pennsylvania boys will not hold their own. A great many visitors will be present from Harrisburg, but as the rules this year are pretty strict we would advise them to "study up" a little. General Bnowden doesn't like visitor i and he has said so. THAT' Harrisburg is slightly crazed on base ball is evidenced by the fact thit almost $2,000 were paid to see the games here on July 4th. Who says that base ball does not pay? This newspaper men of Reading have organized a Press Club.

There ussd to be a Press Club in Harrisburg. Where is that Press Club now The heart or a man has much to stand It he'd play his part here right, And the Ice on the doorstep these mornings warm Is a very melting sight." PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

The result of enforcing the Sunday laws in base ball playing has been the breaking up of the Easton club, of the Interstate League. The weekday patronage in Easton was too small, and some days it did not meet tho guarantee.

The men were called together after they returned from playing: at Allentown last night, and were told the condition of things. They ac cepted it in good humor, received their money in full, and are now leaving for their homes. It was hoped that putting a club in Allentown would stir up the base ball enthusiasts in both cities, but the attendance here did not improve, and in Allentown there was no support. Allentown decided to go up, and Easton followed. I cried: "It is hot as the hinges there We sizzle, we roast, we fry." It told It for truth.

He was the guest of tho Royal Geographical Society at Grosvenor Gallery on Thursday evening, the most splendid, perhaps, of all the banquets given him.

No Longer Any Doubt About the P. R. R. Plans Respecting it. A rjleasinz bit of news for the residents of West Harrisburg is this, that the Pennsylvania railroad company has practically determined the matter of locating a station at Maclay street, litis improvement has long been under consideration and its desir ability has always been conceded by the railroad authorities.

Now they have decided to act and a fine station building will be built before the snow falls this year. It will be situated near the new hotel at Pennsylvania avenue and Maclay street and will be in harmony with the prevailing style of architecture aiopted by the big corporation for its station houses. This station will accommodate hundreds of people in West Harrisburg and will be a great improvement for that growing section of the city.

I here is much speculation here as to whether or not the Governor will veto the lottery bill. The live day limit allowed the Governor in which to return the hill expires to morrow. The general belief is that the Governor will not only veto the bill, but that he will send a message to the Legislature severely con demning its action in passing the bill. There seems to be no doubt, however, that the bill will be passed over the Governor's veto. An Honest Confession.

Lancaster Inquirer. It is an old adage that "an honest confes sion is good for the soul," and if it be true, the soul of Congressman Hemphill, of South Carolina, ought to be greatly benefited by a confession made a few days a'o in the House. During the debate on the Federal e'ection bill be said "We realize that the negro is our equal before the law. We also realize that, if he be allowed freely to vote, an 1 to have his vote honestly counted and returned, we, the white people of South Carolina, will be in a minority; wo must submit to that or quit the State, and, in all reverence, we swear that we will never will quit the State." This is substantially saying that the white people of South Carolina do not intend to permit nn honest election in that State. Could there be any stronger or more forcible reason given for the enactment of this law WEST PAIRYIEW.

I CHINA IS HOPPING MAD, And will Drive American Citizens Out of the Empire. New Yobk, July 6. The most distin guished personage on the passenger list of the French steamer La Bretagne, which arrived to day, was his Excellency Tsui, the new Chinese Minister.

If Minister Tsui is correct in his predictions we are on the eve of a good deal of trouble with his Govern ment. The Celestial diplomat is considerably worried, because whatever happens he will be more or less held responsible. Mr. Tsui's predecessor, Chang Yen Hoon, was abused for not preventing Congress from passing the Chinese Exclusion law, and wh'n th3 news reached China his augry constituents burned his residence end destroyed his property. The present Minister realizes that be does not control Mr.

Blaine and Congress, and he doesn't like the outlook. A reporter was a passenger on the La Bretagne, and had a talk with Minister Tsui. The Minister's words were carefully translated by Mr. V. K.

Lee, the official in terpreter to the Chinese Legation. He said A Chinese Tlt for Tat. "Unless the United States Government repeals the law which now excludes my countrymen from this country we shall treat Americans to a dose of their own medicine. mean we shall exclude citizens of the United States from the Chinese Empire." 'Have yon received information to this effect officially from the home office "We hope we shall not be pushed to any measures ot retaliation. The Chinese Foreign Office has Bent several demands to Mr.

Blaine to repeal the exclusion law. We have received no reply from him. Of course, Uongress alone can set right the present out rage, but the State Department is the proper channel of negotiation. Our treaties with the United States have been regarded as sa cred trusts, and we have lived up to the very letter of them. Now, without the slightest warning of excuse, the United States cruelly breaks its solemn agreement and builds up a barrier against our citizens.

After this ex clusion law was passed in defiance ot all treaties Secretarv Bayard and the former Minister from China conferred, and the re sult was a proposed new treaty with China which contained the exclusion law. China Was Outraged and Indignant. "When this treaty was submitted to the Emperor and his Council it was instantly repudiated. The indignation against the minis ter was such that his house was burned and all his property within reach was destroyed. The Chinese Government at once demanded that the exclusion law be at once repealed and the terms of the present treaty complied with." "What is the present status of the ques tion in China "The Council of State, which guides the Emperor, is simply waiting to bear from the United States iforeign Uce.

Your reputation for fair dealing and honesty with for eign nations has been such in the past that we cannot believe that you intend to break a treaty without reason or. excuse. That you have done so there can be no doubt, and if we find that the United States means to persist in excluding the Chinese from its shores we shall proceed to the same tactics. Ihe Chinese Government will forbid the landing ot American citizens in the Empire. American Investments Threatened.

"How about the American citizens now residents of China and the A nerican capital invested there "All those will be matters details of which the Council of State will arrange. I am aware that there are a great many millions of American capital invested in China. American interests in China are, of course, vastly more important financially than our invested interests in the United States. Any rupture between the two nations will, of course, injure the American investments." "What is believed in China as the reason for onr exclusion laws 'It is generally supposed to be the work of the politicians. I know, of course, your argument of cheap labor and detraction of fair wages.

You say that Chinese come to America, save all the money they can and then return to China with it that they don't become citizens.

Ex State Treasurer Archer came into court to day, plead guilty to a charge of embezzlement of the funds of the State and was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. This sudden and unexpected ending of the case caused considerable commotion in all circles. The trial of the case was set for tomorrow, and a large number of witnesses had been summoned. Mr. Archer, however, decided not to stand a trial, but to plead guilty.

Accompanied by his son in law, State Senator Benjamin Silver, he came into the city from his house near Belair this morning, and after a consultation with his counsel it was decided to go into court immediately and end the case. Judge Stewart and the State's officers were accordingly notified. Mr. Archer in the court room seemed bowed down by the realization of his terrible position. He looked extremely careworn and haggard when the indictment charging embezzlement was read.

His counsel read a statement, signed by Mr. Archer, pleading guilty and throwing himself upon the mercy of the court. The statement was in part: "I desire here, in the presence of this court, to acknowledge that I am guilty of the offense charged against me iu the indictment, and also to confess that I have been guilty of a great sin against Almighty God. The sorrow and misery which have been caused by my con duct is shared by many, but no blame tor any part of it is at tached to any one but myself. It is all mine and mine alone.

No part of the State's money or securities was ever used by me in gambling, stock speculation or ror political purposes. JNor have I at this time a dollar of it left. I therefore submit myself to the good judgment and mercy of the court." Immediately after sentence Archer was taken to the penitentiary. EXCITED POLICEMEN.
