THEY ARE OFF! JEFFERSON FEN0IBLEs LEAVE
 AT 1:30P. NJ.
Amid Showers of Flowers and Huzzahs, the Jefferson Feneibles Leave for
 Little Rock
From Wednesdas $ Daily.

The Jefferson Fencibles left at 1:30 o'clock p. m. today from the Cotton Belt depot by special train for Little ROCK.
 The special was composed of baggage car and two passenger coaches, covered with flags and bunting.
 It was a grand and imposing sight at the depot. The population of the town turDed out almost enmasse, and it was a perfect crush at the depot Mothers and fathers, sisters, brothers and sweethearts were there to say goodbye to their loving ones and to wish them God speed. There were tears, kisses and good wishes. The Fencibles compose the flower of Pine Bluffs young manhood, and the prayers of hundreds will go up for their safe return.
 The floral offerings were numer- ous. Nearly everyone carried flow CTS, and as the cars pulled out they were almost an embankment of roses.
 The boys acted bravelY and took their leave as becomes young sol dies. Only the god of battles knows their fate or destiny, but what ere betide, those who know and love them know that the young men who have gone forth in the service of their country will aequit themselves like men and soldiers.

A CHINESE CONCESSION
MARKING ANOTHER LONG STEP
FORWARD
Foreigners Given Permission to Work
Mines and Operate Railways fora
Reasonable Royalty

NEW YORK. Sept. ia dispatch 10 the
Tribune from Washington says:
Consul ]. w. Ragsdale at Ten Tsin,
China, reports the first concession ever
granted by the imperial Chinese govern
ment 10 a foreign syndicate, by the terms
OF which foreigners have the right 10 open
and work mines, construct and operate rail-
ways entirely free from Chinese control
other than the payment OF royalty and
conformity with the general laws Of the
empire as applicable 10 foreigners.
On May 81 there were signed, IN the pres
articles of agreement which ceded to the
Pak!n syndicate, limited, Of London, the
sole right to operate he coal and IRON de-
and the petroleum deposits of the entire
province. also the RICH; to construct and
operate all necessary railways to main
trunk lines and navigable waters for ex-
porting the m.nfng products.
The agreement was signed by orders is
sued in an imperial edtct stamped with the
seal Of the Tsung Ii Yamen, as a visible
sign of imperial sanction and authority and
the whole proceedings were verified and
ratified by the British and italian Minis
ters to China.
The signing of this contract marks the
most important epoch IN the Industrial pol
icy Of China. The precedent has been es-
tablished of allowing foreigners for COM
merc!al purposes 20 own real estate in the
interior of China, 10 operate and construct
mines.
There have been many so-called conces-
sions granted in China, but none of them
worth the paper they are written on.
OF all the railway concessions, only one
the Belgian syndicate, for the China and
Hankow Railroad, has passed beyond the
preliminary state, and in none is the syn
dictate more than the financial agent Of the
Chinese. This railway syndicate has no
voice in the management, and none too
much security for their money. AS mat
ter of fact, up to date, neither the Belgian
syndicate nor any other syndicate has fur
nished one cent of money. The Picking sym
dictate is composed Of n few men who con-
troll immense capital and who have obtain
ed the most valuable concessions China
could make. The preliminary work has be ZEN
in progress for over two years. The con-
cessons Will be worked by the Anglo-Ital-
ian syndicate, with a capital of Sc, 900 900.
The success Of this enterprise is due first
20 the fact that the syndicate was wiling
TO spend money on the chance of getting a
concession and that after sending their
general agent 70 China, they simply al
lowed him 20 manage affairs and kept him
supplied with money Then the agent, A.
Lussatt., has shown wonderful tact In deal
ing with Chinese officials, judgment is Sc
