CHINESE MUST BE THRASHED
Thus Only Will That Race Recog-

Change for the Better
Through Liu Kun vi.
Doodle Viceroy.
BY Southern Associated Press.

LONDON, January 5.-The diplo.
matte advices received at the foreign
Office from the British representa- .
tives at Pekin and Toxic concur IL
the statement that tho present ne.
gotiations looking to the establish
ment OF peace between the two far
Eastern empires are not to have any
good result.
The japanese Government is of
the opinion that the Chinese require
to be thrashed iuto the thorough
conviction Of their hopeless in.
feriority, which must precede the
conclusion OF pei manent peace,
while the Chinese are resting under
the belief that Pekin is safe for the
winter from Japanese invasion and
are hoping that stubborn resistance
Oh their part III the future, will
modify their opposition and enable
them to obtnin better terms in the
final peace negotiations.
This hope, however, is not shared
at the Foreign Office, where some
Japanese reverses would not be ut
all unwelcome. No change for the
better is expected to arise from the
appointment of Liu Kun Vi to super
sede LII Hung Chang ms command er
OF the Chinese forces. During the
tenure of Office of Lin Kun III as
Nlceroy of Nankin he had frequent
dealings with foreigners, and his
contact with them failed to elevate
him III their esteem. He was woe

BALTiMoRE, January 5.-It is re.
ported that the Seaboard AIR Line is

being bought in by MIR. Alexander
Brown. representing tho bondhold
ers. The sale has not been couiirm-
ed by the court, but there is no
doubt it will be.
MIR. Brown, who is chairman of
the bondholder's committee, and
Il. c. Hoffman, of the Seaboard
AIR Line, have recently held sew.
eral long conferences. Both gentle
men are absent from the CITY at the
present time and no confirmation of
the reported deal can be obtained.
Ihe acquisition of the Macon and
Northern by the Seaboard would be
looked upon as ten strike for the
latter road, aud if the deal is finally
made considerable change i'll the
railroad situation of the South
would be the result.
The Macon aud Northern is n dl.

chasing the Macon and Northern

The Georgia Southern and Florida

FLORIDA from Macon. 1t runs to
Paiatka and connects with tie

That arrangement would shorten

WASHINGTON, January 5.-Dr.
Rocker, secretary to Monsignor Sa.
tolll, Apostolic Delegate, when asked
this morning IN regard to the state
ment alleged to have been received
from Rome. purporting to give the
gist of the forthcoming papal ency-
clical in regard to church affairs in
America. SAID the story WAS simply
a rehash Of what had been printed
IN American papers as long ago as
Inst August. There were no points
contained in the alleged cabegram
which was not printed months ago.
DR.. Rocker further said that the
Pope took no one into his couii
dence, aud no one but His Holiness
could vouch for the truth OF these
statements. The encylical was not
yet completed and was likely to be
changed at any stage of its progress.
The document, he said, would be
sent to tins country when finished
and the Legation at Washington
would be advised of the date upon
which it be furnished. Until its
actual receipt no authoritative in
formation as to It's contents could

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS.
All Right.


A statement emanating from Fargo
is going around the Minnesota and
North Dakota press to the effect that
the Observation-Disclosures of this state had
failed TO notify the various United
States land Offices of'selections Of lands
for the various state institutions, and
that many complications had arisen be-
cause of settiement'by land seekers on
the tracts selected, and that the land
officers, both here and in Washington,
were in quandary. An investigation
OF the matter proves the carges to be
unfounded.
An examination of the records in the
state land department. show that for
every tract of land selected BY the pres:
ent or past commissioner there is a cer-
tificate of approval and receipts for FL
ing fees signed by the officers of the
district in which the land was selected.
Numerous applications have been re-
ceived at the various United States
land Offices for filing on these selected
lands land in many cases settlers have
made improvements on the land before
attempting to make their filing) but as
Tar as the state land commissioner has
been advised, the applications have
been refused on the ground that the
state had selected the tracts aad was
awaiting patents.
