Prorress in CHINA.

WASHINGTON, Sept. B.-Minister Con-
ger informs the Department of State that
the Emperor of China, by imperial decree,
has sanctioned the opening of national
university at Peking, in connection with
which schools are to be established in the
provincial capitals, and educational institu-
tions called the third class are to be
opened in the department and district cities,
Another dispatch from Minister Conger
would indicate that the Emperor of China
has taken long stride in advance in civili-
zation by encouraging the newspapers of his
empire to publish a truthful and full ac-
count of daily events. and to be both bold
and fearless in the discussion Of current af-
fairs. He has directed that important ar
ticles of the current events in the leading
papers shall be marked and presented 10
him promptly. He assigns, in his procla-
nation, as the reason for this that he desires
to extend his knowledge of affairs, both
Chinese and foreign.

And fixed among the impor-
tant principles Of hygiene and health il
the acknowledged necessity Of good
Spring Medicine.
Just as firmly established by the ex.
periences Of millions Of people, is the
positive fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
is "far and away" the best blood puri-
fer and spring medicine ever produced.
The necessity is found in the i'm
pure condition Of the blood at this
season, owing to the close confine-
ment and breathing yitiated mir in Of
flee, store, shop, house. schoolrOom
or factory; excessive eating and drink
ing too rich and hearty food; late
hours and social indulgences. With
the blood thus thick and impure, the
machinery OF life grinds hard.
Hoods Sarssparilla purifes, vital
ICES and enriches the blood, builds up
and strengthens the nerves and tones
the stomach. 1t oils up the machinery
of the whole body; the liver takes up
its work anew, the kidneys resume
activity, the ache goes out Of the back,
the bowels are regulated. the appetite
restored, the food !: relished and as
simulated.
Don't wait till you arc thoroughly

Medicine.

PREPARED FOR WORST.

The most important aud significant
development of the past few days were
the decision Of the House Naval Com
mittee to place in the naval appropria-
ton bill provision for three new bat
tleships, and conclusion on the part
| of the Secretary of War to issue an
order creating a new military depart
| ment, including within is confines
that part of the country which would
| in all likelihood be nearest to the field
of hostilities in case it should come to
| that.
The order will create a commotion
! in the South. The present department
of Texas is abolished, and The head
quarters which have been at San An
tonic, Tex, for SO many years. are
abandoned In place Of the old depart
ment is created new one-the Depart
ment of tie South. General Graham,
at present commander of the Depart
ment of Texas, will command it. The
new department will include the States
of South Corcllna, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana a1d
Texas. All of these States, save the
last, are at present attached to the
Department OF the East, under COM
mand of General Merritt, of New York.
1t is said at the department that
General NJ rritt is fully compensated
for the strength Of the command which
pass d away from him by the addition
to his forces OF the two regiments OF
artillery now recruiting.
The headquarters of the new De-
partment of the South will be at At
lenta, Ga, chosen because of its fine
strategical value and its excellent rail-
road connections, AT present the
government has no accommodations in
Atlanta for the headquarters OF the
department, so it will be obliged to
hire the most available building.
General Wilson, Chief of Engineers,
who has been in Florida, is expected
back at once to report t, Secretary
Alger upon theprogres' of the fortif-
cation work in that section Of the
country, and especially as to the de-
fence of the Tortugas.
For the first time the officials of the
War Department have admitted that
they were straining every nerve to i'm
prove that part of the defence of the
country confined to their care. 1t is
without question the most unusual
mark of confidence in an executive
officer to empower him to give orders
without limit for the purchase of war
M aterial, yet this is what tho Presi-
dent and Secretary Alger have done in
the case of General Flag'er, Chiei OF
Ordnance, and the officer has not
shown any disposition to shirk this
large responsibility, but has instructed
every concern capable OF supplying war
material, such as rapid-fring guns, shot |
she'll, and ammunition,to 60 to work at
'ull capacity.
The Navy Department has now rea-
ons to believe that it has secured the
two warships, AmazonAs and her sis
ter ship, now building in England for
Brazil. 1t was stated by Secretary
Long that the naval attache at Lon
Ion, Lieutenant Colwell, had almost
completed the negotiations for the sale.
30 far, however, the final notification
rom him that his offer has been ac-
epted has not yet reached the Navy
Department..

We shall refuse to believe that MI.
Mckinley las been controlled in his
Cuban policy by Spanish bond-holders
until absolute proof is furnished by
those who make the charge. We are
far from agreeing with him in many
of his policies, but he is the President,
and is entitled to our respect until
proven to be unworthy of it.
If we are going to fight. we should
not wait for Spain to assemble oil OF
its most formable warships at Havana
There is no doubt about Congress
being behind Mr.. Mckinley in a
vigorous policy towards Spain; IN fact
it is the pushing of Congress that got
him to his present position.

We have no desire to be captious, but,
if the claim of the administration that
it has made public everything it re-

that the public did not know until two
days after the administration, and then
the news came from Madrid, that
Spain had asked for Gen. Lees recall!
