commercial enterprise like the Shanghai
KWan railroad. The admiral then pro-
posed that the four countries most inter
ested, Great Britain, the United States
Japan and Germany, go TO China and
offer 10 take over and organize aer army
adding that If Great ritain took the lead
he was sure the United States would fol-
low, and that ne also had distant init
nation that Japan would join in such a
movement.
The parliamentary secretary OF the for
eign Office, the Ri. on. William St John
Broderick. replied. pointing out the diff
culties IN meeting Lord eresfOrd's desire
that Great Britain take control of the
government of China, adding that he
thought his lordship was over-sanguine
in believing that the United States would
follow the lead Of Great Britain. Ger
many. he continued, had great interests
in China, but she mad a thousand Times
greater interests in Europe. As TO treat
ing the Yang-Tse-Kiang valley like the
Shang-Tung peninsula. her Hajesty's gov
eminent was not prepared 10 undertake
the immense responsibility Of governing
such a large territory.
Continuing. Mr.. BrOderfck said: up 10
the present the treaty OF Tien-Tsin has
been observed. No door has been shut. AS
regards the Yang-Tse, we could send gun
boats, drawing six feet a thousand miles
from its mouth. Although We are not pre-
pared to undertake policing this province
constituting one-third Of China. We are
prepared 10 control the Yang-Tse in order
to protect our trade.
Although il cannot undertake 10 relieve
the Tsung-Li-Yamen Of the responsibility
OF governing China, the government rs not
prepared 10 let British trade suffer or pass
into other hands. Therefore, it is proposed
TO take these steps: With regard TO the
Yang-Tse, we shall hold the Chinese gov
eminent responsible for its undertaking
not TO ALLEVIATE to any other power the
provinces bordering thereon and that a
connection should be made with the Bur
nah railway. The government vii. also
see, whenever 1t is desired. thai the force
on the Yang Use is sufficiently strong to
protect our merchants and their trade"
Mr.. Broderick also referred 10 the Anglo
Russian agreement as being a happy au-
curry and a fair compromise. and he
doubted if the demand for a Russian rail-
way connection TO Pekin was ever made
but in effect, the government, in no spirit
of jealousy, but simply in the interests of
China, must declare, if the demand is
pressed, that it viii be forced to advise
the Chinese government against a conces-
sion calculated to transfer the government
of Pekin to another power. In conclusion,
Mr.. Broderick expressed the hope that
there would be concord between the pow
ers in carrying out their great work in
China.

Roads for the Pacific station. though It
was generally understood that when she

was to get her orders to turn westward

According to a foreign delegate, the
American scheme does not seem TO have

realized this and have virtually aban-
doned the idea Of pressing its adoption,
and therefore it may be considered virtu-

furnish material for a few amendments
which will be submitted during the de-
bate The Russian project is still kept alb
solutely secret. NJ de Stdal, head of the
Russian delegation, and president of the

Like all others, Dixie's picnic
came and went, and the same
friendly feeling, good will and sue
cess was attached as at others we
have witnessed. The crowd was
large and good humored, and it
took eleven lemonade stands to
furnish refreshing drinks After
dinner the crowd was entertained
by Prof. Means, who delivered the
welcome address. He was follow
ed by Prof. johnson of Hargrove,
who spoke on Education" Then
followed Prof Taylor of Dixie, a
young man of more than ordinary
ability, who entertained the crowd
for some time. Mr.. Tyer of Ard
more, who had just organized a
camp of the Woodmen of the
World. was the next speaker. He
is a thorough Woodman, and told
of the great good this order was
accomplishing. OF course the

many new names to its subscrip-

families of Messrs. Means and
Newman for courtesies extended.
The people of Dixie seem to be
prosperous and happy with their
lot, and they should be, for Dixie
is situated in a favored section.

The examination of white appli-

Ardmore's public schools was con-

of the board will be taken up in
the examination of colored appli-

marked this morning that the list
of acceptable applicants would be
made known in a few days. He
further stated that nearly all pre-
liminary arrangements for starting
of the schools had been made.
The greatest trouble, he said, was
in securing adequate buildings,
but he believed this would be ac-
complished, and the doors of pub
lie schools in Ardmore would be
thrown open in September. A
meeting Of the children, would be
made during the month of August,
preparatory to the opening, with
a view of grading the pupils.
