Foreigners Safe.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Offcials of the
Chinese legation say Americans residing in
China will be given ample protection as
long as the war exists. The legation shares
the feeling expressed in recent cable dis
patches from Pekin that foreigners have
nothing to fear from outbreaks Of natives.
The newspapers and private advices re-
ceived at the legation make no mention of
the extreme disorder and panic at Pekin,
which the cables reported, and the officials
think these reports were unwarranted and
came through prejudiced hannels. 1t is
pointed out that rowdy outbreaks are like
ly to occur in war times. but 1t is stated
with positivenesS that the Chinese gov
eminent never has expressed doubt Of its
ability to control these local outbreaks, as
was reported, and that it now assures
American and other foreign residents of
complete protection.

DANVILLE. Ind, Oct. 16.-Congressman
Cooper has finished the canvass Of this
county, and his reception was not the most
flattering. His audiences ranged from
twenty at one meeting to five hundred at
Danville. but the great disappointment to
him and the managers was in the lack OF
old-time Democrats at the meeting. DEM
ocrats who in other years would not miss
a meeting for anything were conspicuous
by their absence. On the other hand large
numbers of Republicans attended the meet
ings, drawn from curiosity to hear how
Mr.. Cooper would explain away his rec
ord. The manner in which he does this
causes him to be the laughing stock of the
county.
Jesse Overstreet, the Republican candi-
date. is now canvassing the county, and
was greeted with an audience that packed
the courthouse last night. He made a
speech that has captured the town and is
being praised everywhere to-day. He was
followed by w. L. Taylor. of indianapolis,
who added to the enthusiasm Mr.. Over
street had aroused. This afternoon he was
greeted by a large crowd at Pittsboro,
and to-nie scores were turned from his
meeting at LiZton.

BACKsET TO GOOD ROADS.
Trolley Lines should Keep Hands on
Improved Rural Highways.

For several years past there has been a
jealous agitation in favor of the improve
ment of country roads. AS pointed out
from time to time in this paper, this agitae
ton, this movement, is. now resulting i'm a
practical betterment of the highways in
many localities, and a general discussion of
ways and means TO such ends in almost ev-
cry enlightened neighborhood in the coun-
try.
But the road inlprovers and the makers
of road laws need to be on their guard, for
1t has been demonstrated time and again in
the near neighborhood Of large cities that
so soon as country roads in populous neigh
borhoods or between prosperous
villages have been graded and
paved the builders of troll
ley railroads pounce upon them and divert
them almost completely from the purpose
for which they were intended. The extern
sion of trolley lines into the country should
be encouraged in all proper ways, but the
public authorities, the lawmakers and the
people should insist that these trolleys
should be located in proper places. Such
proper places are not upon paved roadbeds
nor yet on the spaces between the pave
ments and the bitches. The pavement of a
macadamized roadway is meant to drive ON;
it is injured very seriously by having a
horsecar track on it; for driving purposes
it is ruined by having a trolley track upon
it-ruined as completely as though an or
binary railroad track were placed over the
pavement.

service for his country and his party by
the speeches he is making to the people In
the West. Back Of these speeches Is the in
spring idea that when a man leaves the
White House his interest in the people
who put him there. Benjamin Harrison's
interest in loyal citizenship and in the pub
lie questions that confront the country is
as keen as ever. He does not believe that
because he has held the chief office in the
land he must spend his life In deep and
dignified retirement. He comes forward and
discusses the questions of the day with his
fellow-citizens, bringing to this discussion
a mind that is ripe and an experience that
is invaluable. Every time that he speaks
for Republican principles he strengthens
American patriotism.

BASEBALL SCHEMERS.
Gossip About the Proposed New
League-Barnfe Scores Comiskey.


NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-William Barnie.
ex-manager of the Louisville club, who has
been prominently mentioned as one of the
prime movers in the organization of the
new baseball association, is full of the
scheme: 1T is a mistaken idea," he said,
'that L have anything to do with the form
ing of the new league. / am simply look
ing for an engagement, and am willing to
take off my coat and hustle for my employ
ers. no matter who they are. If the man.
ayers of the new organization pay me sal
airy satisfactory / would as soon work for
them as anybody, but 1 have no money to
put into the thing. The League magnates
don't want to hold the scheme too lightly,
however. for L feel sure that the new league
will be formed. 1t has been delayed by the
premature publication of it's affairs, but a
meeting will probably be held in a few days
and the thing started in good shape. When
the meeting will be held" said Mr.. Barnie,
81 cannot say" 1t is learned from other
sources that the meeting will probably be
held in Philadelphia Wednesday.
Barnie blames Manager Comiskey, of the
Cincinnati club, for disclosing the scheme,
and charges him with breach of faith in do
ing so. He says that Comiskey was APP
preached by a certain man interested In the
new venture, who proposed that Comiskey
should take the management of a club rep
resenting the new association in st. Louis.
'Comiskey," said Barnie, Jumped at the
offer, saying, yes, / can "do" that Dutch
man easy in his own town. meaning Won
der Abe. The man left Comiskey with the
understanding that he was in the scheme
heart and soul and would be one of it's
strongest supporters. Comiskey changed
his mind, however. and to retain the man.
agement Of the Cincinnati club another
year gave the whole snap away to Brush
TIL latter sent out a circular to his fellow
magnates of the National League imme-
diately, so the whole thing was disclosed.
9TH League officials laugh at the idea,
scheme" said Barnie, but so did Presi-
dent Hubert slur the American Associa-
ton when that was formed In 1881, but
that soon made itself a power in baseball,
and SO might this. That several OF the
magnateS in this vicinity did have some
fear OF the new organization is SHOWN by
the fact. that they have induced Al john
son, who started the idea of a new league,
and a Boston newspaper man to drop out
of it."
AT a secret meeting Of the Eastern
League. held in this city, the representa-
tives from Buffalo and Providence, who
were said to have l~ongings to be in the
new league, were made to show their
hands, and both said they would stick to
the Eastern League president.
