ORDERED TO Assemble IN THE GULF OF
E-CTII-1L-ADVTCE TO CHINA.
London. March 2S.-"The Daily News" says
this morning it understands that after Fridays
Cabinet Council orders were dispatched to the
British fleet in Chinese waters to rendezvous in
the Gulf OF Pe-chi-li with aview Of strengthen
ing the diplomacy Of Sir Claude Macdonald the
British Minister in China.
The Pekin correspondent Of THE Daily Tele-
graph" says: "Sir Claude Macdonald has adj
vised China TO refuse to lease Port Arthur. as 1t
is unnecessary since Talien-wan had been con-
coded; but China has replied that she is power
less to resist the Russian demands.
The Times" commenting eGitorany on the
extremely serious situation in the Far East,
where II assumes the British feet will Tow re
sumo the attitude in the Gulf of Pe-chi-li which
should never have been abandoned" says:
England at the present moment possesses
practically neither Prime Minister nor For
eign Minister. Mr.. Arthur Bafour would make
a capital Foreign Minister if appointed perma-
nently; but ne cannot be spared from the leader
ship OF the House OF Commons. We hope
therefore, that Lord Salisbury will ere long de-
volve the Foreign Secrctaryship upon one OF
his colleagues"

Line committee and Southwestern Freight
bureau territory.
The transportation of drovers will again
be considered by the committee. An effort
will be made to arrange so that drovers
who accompany cattle shipped by rail shall
not be able to sell their return passes. 1t
has been proposed to require drovers to pay
their fare their return trip.
Hay rates from points in Iowa to the Twin
Cities have recently been reduced to 10 cents
and some of the lines believe the rate should
be higher. The committee has been asked
to increase it.
Potato shippers are anxious to have grain
rates applied to potatoes. The Northern COM
mttee has already advised against it and now
the trunk line committee has been requested
to interfere. That subject Will be fully dis
-cussed at the meeting. The committee will
consider plans for the equalization Of through
rates on yellow pine from Arkansas and Mis-
sissppi to Saltwater via st. Louis.
1t is desired by some of the lines to fix
territorial limits for the Chicago and Peoria
rate on Northwestern and Missouri river
traffic, and to settle the application of Chi
cago, Peoria and Mississippi river rates on
Missouri river, Sioux City and st. Paul ttlfhc
The committee will also try to fix through
rates on oil from Toledo to st. Paul. and to
through rates and divisions from Central
Freight association territory to the Twin
Cities. Action is expected 10 be taken on
the proposed reduction of lumber rates on
the Northern division of the Eastern Rail-
way of Minnesota.
Several other subjects bearing upon the
freight situation In this section will be
brought before the committee.

SICK BOYS UNCARED FOR.
Mother of One of Them Says Good
Nursing Is Needed.

The mother of one Of the boys, who
has recently returned on sick leave
from Lexington, and who herself has
spent some time in the hospital there,
says that she feels that all mothers
and sisters should know the real con-
dition Of things there, and if they have
the means and have a sick boy there,
should go at once to call for him, or
bring him home.
She says: 1T is very pitiable They
are all mourning to come home, and a
good many could have come home If
they had had some one to arrange and
insist for them. The tents contain six
to eight beds and when opened up the
beds are all along in rows The flies
are very thick and crawl over the faces
of the unconscious ones. While [ was
there I made screens for as many as
could. Men from the ranks are detail
ed for duty in the hospitals and some
know how to wait on the boys and
some do not. Many mistakes are made
in regard to reading the charts and
giving the right diet.
"Of course, l do not know where sto
place the blame, if there is any, and
suppose all is being done that can abe,
but the parents or sisters of the sick
men should be notified of their condi-
ton and given an opportunity te~eare
for them if they can"

Lieut.. Edwards was the only COM
missioned officer at the Third camp.
and, while detachment command
er, was practically colonel Of a
regiment as his command was half
that Of q regiment, but for his as
sistants he had only the noncommis-
stoned officers he had created out of
the recruits. In this way he had to
perform alone the duties of1two dozen
officers in drilling the men and pro-
Viding for their subsistence. The gen.
eral hospital was at the camp Of the
Twelfth infantry and as there were no
physicians at the Third camp, 1t was
necessary to send all of the sick men
to the other camp. Here five of the
recruits died and Lieut.. Edwards says
he has not yet been officially notified
of their death. Some Of the men were
buried, he says, before he, as their
commander knew they We're dead.
Lieut. Edwards Is almost worn out by
the summers work, but hopes to re-
cuperate under the lessened tension
which he expects at Fort Smelling. He
is disinclined to criticise any Of those
higher in authority, but shares the dis
appointment of his men in not being
allowed to join his regiment at the

VIII Be Opened This Year.

Announcement is made that the Union
Spokane to WaIla WaIla, will be opened to
traffic by Christmas, and thus the eastern
section of Oregon will be thrown open to the
world.
The territory tapped by the new line is one
Of the richest in the Pacific Northwest, and
much is expected of it. E. P. Cove is presi-
dent of the road, which has a capital of
$500, 900.
The Great Northern is improving its road
bed in the far West and reducing grades
wherever possible. The object is to re-
duce the running time between ST. Paul and
the coast. Between Pacific Junction, Mont,
and Seattle great deal of engineering work
is under way. New and strong bridges are
removed. Where washouts have periodically
occurred the tracks are being raised and
every precaution is being taken to make the
Great Northern throughout its length one of
the safest in the country.
