CHINA TRUSTS ENGLAND.

fekin, April 10.-The effect of Great
Britain's action at Wei Hal Wei is al
ready apparent here. The Chinese
thoroughly comprehend the disinterested-
ness of England and her prestige is now
higher than ever. The Chinese regard
Great Britain's action as step which
has saved the Empire from dismember-
ment. No definite arrangements have
yet been made regarding the extent of
territory to be occupied in connection
with Wei Hal Wei, but probably it
will be the same district as rs held by
Japan, ten miles inland and parallel
with the indentations of the coast.
Numerous indications are reported of
growing distrust of Russia.

The area of truck farming is yearly

The introduction. of the refrigerator

profitable the fishing industry of the

train was run at twelve miles an hour.
A few days ago the Burlington ran a
stock train from Galesburg to Chicago,

:. To ''looker-on in Venice" the
Buckman'Fuller strife presents some
amusing phases. The battle waxeth
warm, even so that brother opposeth
brother, and mother combatteth son.
The court house ''gang'' appears to
be divided, with most of them lean
ing toward Buchanan. The Fullerites
have the same support and the>same
leadership that Lee had in 1896,
with some defections, and Lees de-
feat is a matter of history. One of
the campaign arguments used by the
Fullerites is that Buckman's NOM
ination means the removal of the
postofice to it's old location! They
also say that Buchanan is a C]ough,
and not a Davis man. AS everyone
knows that Fuller's affection for
Davis has but lately emerged from a
chrysalis state, honors are even, es-
pecially as Buchanan has come out
for Davis. Our present senator has
got stiff fight on hand, and evil
IDENTIFY realizes it.. Both sides are
working hard, and promises of
county positions are hurled around
with great recklessness. OF course,
no Doodle is being used.

Jerry J. believes republican pros

and attributes the improved situa-

the war was republican in origin,
that the democrats had opposed it
instead OF being proposers,z there
might be something in the Journal
mans view. But the record OF the
democratic party anu the democratic
senate is SO clear that any attempt
on the part Of republicans to claim
all credit for the war would hardly
be successful. The war is being
