CHINA THE COMING POWER,
That is the Opinion Of a Man who Can See
Uncommonly far Into the Future.


London, July19.-M. de Goudorville.
a Frenchman who has lived in China
for a long time, has been printing his
impressions and opinions in the Monde
Moderne of Paris. So far from re-
garding China as a dead power, ne
thinks it the coming great power.
There is no idea of social progress,
however advanced, which has not It's
place, he says, in the Chinese system.
1t even finds room for everything that
can be applied in the Anarchist Utopias.
The Chinese have the minimum OF
government. the independence and SOW
ereignity of the head of each family,
the abolition of standing armies, the
reprobati ton of war unless for defence,
the hierarchical officialism of a single
class of men chosen for their talents;
and with that honor for old age, the
respect for tradition, and the conserv-
alive spirit pushed to the utmost. No
one is afraid of losing his life, but there
is great fear of ceasing TO rank as a
lust man who observes time honored
laws. The European ideal, says NJ.
Goudourville, is courage, the ideal OF a
go-ahead race. The Chinese ideal is
that of justice. The European is enter
prising, impatient, daring, ready to run
all risks, and most honored in being
counted brave. Success, in his eyes, IS
the great criterion of worth. 1t 1ust-
fies, no matter what. His supreme
argument is the sword. European
virtues and vices are found in all their
vigor in America The Chinese are re-
Elective and faithful to tradition. Sem
timent of some sort rules the European,
reason rules the Chinaman. AT worst,
he declares. the Chinese are undergo
ing a temporary eclipse, because they
hate the revolutionary action OF ma
chiney. This dislike Will, in the long
run, give them prominence and pre-
serve the balance between agriculture
and induStrialsm.

David, o. T, July 19.-About two
weeks ago a travelling preacher and
claiming to be an evangelist came here
from Pryor Creek, and preached the
Cambelite faith TO the people Of this
vicinity. While he stopped at the
house of Mr. Hart who lives about a
mile north Of David. lie is known by
the name OF Meadows, and lives in the
vicinity Of Pryor Creek. Since leaving
here it is learned that he served term
in the penitentiary. While he partook
OF the hospitality Of Mr.. Hart, black
berry party was made up. and while
the party was busy hunting the fruit
in the woods he accomplished his de-
sign.
The little girl is but 7-years of age.
and his brutal force has caused the
little girl to lie at deaths door since il
occurred The parents were much
alarmed. and finally the little girl told
the whole story. Meadows had left for
his home the day after committing the
act.
Information was given to the officer,
and Deputy United States Marshal Gus
Parker left in hot pursuit of the william.
He was captured and Immediately

him that the officer was quick in his

The people of this vicinity are arous-

WAS HE THE KINGS SONP
Death and Burial of Young Man With
a Strange History

New York, July 19.-The singing of
the Scandinavian battle prayer, "Strid-
bon" by members of the NOrdmen's
Singing Society, was the only service
that marked the lowering into grave
a Evergreen cemetry, today. the body
Of Kunt Forsberg. the Swedish engi-
neer who. during his life, claimed to be
a son of King Oscar l.. Of Sweden
His countrymen regarded him as sec
ond John Ericsson, but his ideas were
100 years ahead of his time.
Forsberg was a draughtsman in the
Brooklyn city works department at the
time of his death. and, besides his two
little children and the members Of the
singing society, the only person pres
ent at the interment was Andrew J.
Provost, Jr.. civil engineer and sur
veyor employed by the city. Frater-
nal feeling saved Forsberg from a pau
per'S grave. Andrew 7. Johnson asSum-
ing the expenses of the funeral Fors-
berg. who was 50 years old. died on
Tuesday. at his home in Brooklyn, OF
catarrh Of the stomach. from which he
had been a sufferer for many years.
His blind wife and two children were
with him at the end.
The career of the dead engineer was
an eVentful one. He received a mag
nificent education at Upsala University
in Sweden. and was able 10 converse

tanned 10 his intimate friends that he
was a son OF oscar l. OF Sweden, and
that his earliest days were spent in

in aftiuent circumstances when he left
his native country. His first great
work was the laying out OF Berzelius
Park. the finest pleasure ground n
Stockholm. He also planned the IA

first work in this country was IN New

derived from a French explorer, NJ.
Guillaumet, who wrote that the slave
trade was openly carried on in the
Soudan. He had been informed that a
French resident in Senegal, NJ. HUGH
ard, had written to the Colonial Min
lister describing a fearful scene when
had taken place at Lambaye; the VII
lage had been burned down and the
women and children carried OFF as
slaves NJ. ChautempS, minister for the
colonies. denied that he had received
the letter and declared that the facts
alleged by NJ. Isaac were eXaSgera-
tions. The natives Of the village that
had been burned down for resisting the
French authorities had not been made
slaves Of; they had been merely distri-
buted among six other villages, where
they would have to remain for six years
under the surveillance Of responsible
native chiefs. This, he said, amid
much uproar, was not slavery, but
simply enforced residence" AS to the

The enemies Of the mayor are making

The reasons given for the veto oc-
cur IN the veto message which is as fol-
lows:
70 the Honorable Council Of the City Of
Perry, o. 7.
Gentlemen-I have the honor to re-
turn herewith, Ordinance No. 1S5, the
same being an ordinance fixing the sal
aries and compensation of city officers,
without my approval
I present to you the following rea-
sons. which l deem sufficient TO justify
my actions in the premises.
The first objection to this ordinance
Is found in the fact that the salaries
and compensatiOns attempted to be
fixed thereby shall be paid by warrants
drawn upon 1.-THE salary fund" which
fund as / understand the situation By
recent order made and entered by
Judge Bierer in the district court, in
the case Of George Todd vs. I. II. Rich
arisOn, is question: BILE as 70 the legal
ity Of such fund. In the case referred
10 the question Of the legality of sal
airy fund in this city is directly brought
an issue and the cause having been
continued until next term Of the district
court. and in the meantime the treas
urer having been enjOined from paying
any warrants drawn on said fund. L
deem il my duty and for the best inter
est Of the city. to withhold my approval
Of this ordinance until the question in
VOWED in that suit shall have been fin
ally determined.
Second. BY the provisions Of this or
dinance. the salary of the city attorney
is sought to be raised from s25 per
month 10 $35 per month, considering
the stringency Of the times and the
dearth Of business in that office, /
would suggest and recommend that the
salary Of the city attorney be reduced
20 So per month, and for the same rea-
sons-I would suggest and recommend
that the salary of the police judge be
fixed at $50 per month. instead Of $35
per month as fixed in this ordinance.
Third The peace and good order Of
the city. and the preservation Of prop

partment OF the city should be placed
in the hands of honest and competent
persons, and as the officers in those de-
partmentS are required 10 devote their
entire time and energies to the good
government and protection Of the city,
] believe such officers should receive
fair compensation for their services /
therefore recommend that the present
salary Of the city marshal be reduced
from $40 per month TO $50 per month, in
stead of so per month as provided in
