PROGRESS In CHINA.
The Wheels Move Slowly in th,
Dragons Empire

His Majesty the Emperor of China and the
"Son of Heaven is enjoying train of min
iature railroad cars, presented to him by the
French syndicate of capitalists who wish to
get contracts for building railways.
In China, they will wonder at its steam
engine and the six thousand electric lights,
which are now being introduced into the
holiest of Chinese sanctuaries, cannot but
turn their eyes to our civilization. 1t will
not be long ere material advancement will
be made in the science of medicine, which
has for so many centuries remained a blot
upon their civilization.
The missionaries are doing much to dispel
the mysticism and reverent awe which the
Chinanan holds for the connections Of
snakes, toads, lizards, ETC., prepared by the
native doctors. They recommend standard
remedies which have long been favorably
known in America and Europe, such as DR..
Pierces Golden Medical Discovery, remedy
for all cases of blood-taints or humors, which
has had years Of uninterrupted success in the
United States, and numbers its cures by the
tens of thousands. This is point gained for
the future welfare of the Drogomen Empire.

BOOTHS FOR BALLOTING.
PREPARATIONS FOR ENFORCING THE
NEW BAKER LAW.

Hereafter Voting VIII Be Conducted in
secrecy-Many Designs Submitted for
Inspection by the Commissioned De-
cision Not Yet Reached.
HARRISBURG, Nov. 26.1 Special. ]-Sec-
rotary of the Commonwealth Harrity, Au-
ditor General McCamant and Secretary OF
Internal Affairs Stewart, serving as COM
mission under the Baker ballot law,
yesterday took the initiative in arranging
to put it into operation the new law.
1t will not become operative until March l.,
1892, but the commission has before 1t
stupendous task, and it will be some time
before it shall have completed its work
Booths, guard rails, ballot boxes and other
appliances necessary to conducting an
election in conformity with law must be
selected and furnished the commissioners OF
the various counties in the State.
The State paws the first cost of apparatus,
but after that it must be maintained by the
counties. A general invitation was re-
Gently issued by the commission to the COM
missioners of every county in the State to
be present Yesterday and it was generally
accepted. With but few exceptions, nota-
bly, Allegheny, every county was repre-
sented either by one or more of its Com
missioners or the clerk to these officials.
The board convened at IL O'Clock, Secre-
tary Harrity presiding.
Secretary Harrity announced when the
meeting convened that each exhibitor OF
election appliances and ballot boxes would
be allowed to explain the merits and advan-
tages of his exhibit. The commission will
announce its decision at future meeting,
There is question in the minds of the Off
cials composing the board whether they
have anything to do with ballot boxes,
the impression that the style OF booth and
guard rail only are to be determined.
Designs for booths were submitted for
inspection and explained by agents of
George T Murray, of Harrisburg; the
Australian Election Furniture Company, of
Philadelphia; j. Harietta Manufacturing
Company; c. F. Hudson, of New York; the
Buffalo Portable Steel House Company;

the national organizations that have head
quarters in this city have all expressed
themselves as opposed to Mr.. Gompers
Yesterday DISPATCH reporter learned
Of project that it is considered would
surely defeat Gompers, even if there were
no opposition from any other part of the
country. 1t is to have the various locals
in this vicinity combine to send delegates

In regard to the carpenters, it is said the
whole national brotherhood will oppose the
reelection of Gompers. This, it is said, is
also true of the International Typographi-

either President Kliver, of the Carpenters

wbv Gas Cannot Be Piped to Chicago,

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Suit has been begun
here by the Columbus Construction Com
pany against the Consumers Gas Company
for 81, 600, 900, and it is said this sum is for
work done and laying pipes and damages
in default of payment. 1t is understood the
trouble is the outgrowth of the scheme to
pipe gas from the natural gas fields of Indi-
ana. 1t will be remembered the work was
begun some time ago. Under the law in
Indiana gas cannot be piped out of the State
at greater pressure than $50 pounds. The
piping of gas to Chicago is thus prevented,
: as it would require more pressure. The
constitutionality of the law is now being
questioned.
