but | never had the shadow OF sus-
piciop that it was as bad as found
it. They absolutely lave nothing
at this moment in the whole of their
empire. They have no navy, their
ships are not worth the name-they
have only one army of 1000 men in
the whole of thier gigantic popula-
ton of four hundred million people.
That is not enough to preserve life
and property. The first thing for
the alliance to do would be to in
duce the Chinese Government to
organize their army on suitable
methods and suitable grounds.
While l was in China l have seen
everyone OF the armies, arsenals,
dockyards, forts, ships, and naval
and military schools of China and
found them in deplorable state. l
think that with the same budget, if
waste was obviated, an army of 200,-
600 might be maintained. The Vice
roys | have seen had approved of my
suggestions for organizing the army,
but had maintained that here was no
money to carry them out. The
whole system Of
THE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE RE-
by the adequate payment of the Off
Gals. There were seven collector
ates in the Yangtsze Valley alone in
which the kkin had been allocated
to pay the interests on the loans to
foreigners, and think this is likely
to cause disturbance because there
was no money to carry on the pro-
vincial governments, which made
the positions of the higher officials
very arduous and made them look
to the future with fear"
Speaking of the sphere Of infu-
ence policy Lord Charles pointed
out that if Great Britain went in for
a sphere of influence, France, Rus
STA, Germany, America, and japan
would go in for the same thing, and
the inevitable result of that would
be that British troops would have
to be used and British money ex-
pended at first, and the inevitable
result would be that tariffs would
be put on, and trade and commerce
would certainly not be in as good
position as if there was the open
door.
Abiding to the demands OF the
French Consul at Shanghai, Lord
Charles said that if persisted in it
must have caused riots among the
Chinese.
The reform of China would not
be difficult, because there were no
hereditary rights, no vested inter-
ests, no feudal system to consider
as was the case in Japan. The Chi
nese had great reverence for auth
ority and were honest traders, and
these were factors that should tell
in favor of reform in the administra-
tive system, for it was the system
more than the people that was bad.
His Lordship's desire is for a
chivalrous policy towards China on
the one hand and towards the Euro
pean Powers on the other, abandon
ing any policy of irritating criti-
cism and jealous interference with
other foreign powers in China.
He felt certain that the four great
manufacturing Powers-Great Bri-
tain, America, Germany and Japan
banded together for the open
door might not, perhaps, succeed
for the moment, but he was con-
vlnced that they would ultimately
do so.
In regard to the development of
China Lord Charles said: We must
have revision of the tariff. We
must take up the whole fiscal sys-
tenn OF the country, which as the
chairman had pointed out initiated

A CESSPOoL OF FRAUD
LIKELY TO BE UNCOVERED BY A
CASE IN SULLIVAN COUNTY.
Ex-United States Marshal Hawkins
Sues County Treasurer for Damages
in a Recent Bond Deal.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SULLIVAN. Ind. June 24-Ex-United
States Marshal Hawkins. by mis- attorneys,
John S. Bays and Briggs & Pigg, of this
city. filed suit this afternoon against W. r.
Proxies, county treasurer, for $500 damages.
Mr.. Hawkins was one OF the bidders in the
recent sale of gravel road bonds made a
few days ago. A premium Of 1880 was Of
fered for the bonds by w. H. Cunder and
Mr.. Hawkins, but Notwithstanding this fact
the bonds were sold to Ohio parties for
$1,000, their face value. Mr.. Frakes in ex-
PLANTATION of the bond sale says that when
the Jackson township bonds were adver-
tised, Joseph K. Hart made a very low bid,
provided he could have the bonds at par.
He states that the County Commissioners
came to him and asked IL he would agree
to turn the bonds over. which he old When
the bids were opened for the Curry town
ship bonds they were made on the same
plan. that they would do the work at such a
price, provided they could get the bonds at
par. Mr.. Frakes says he was acting in the
interest Of the county when he agreed 10
the plan adopted. The subject is the chief
topic of discussion in this city to-day, and
1t is rumored that this is not the first in
stance of that kind of a fraud.
About six years ago when the Gill town
ship ditch and levee bonds were issued
and sold it was charged that the price ac-
cepted was several thousand dollars less
than their market value. j. Nathan Scott
was then treasurer of this county. There
was a large number of bidders present at
the sale whose bids, 1t was charged, were
ignored and the figures of the bidders were
not disclosed when m as TO the
amounts respectively were called for by
taxpayers. These bonds were as good as
gold and sold for about $4,000 less than an
equivalent amount of Knox county ditch
the same law.
The Sullivan Times, one or the Democratic
papers of this county, at this time charged
the commissioners with making unlawful
allowances TO the auditor, and the matter
became a subject for investigation by the
grand jury, and it was alleged that the
board narrowly escaped Indictment. A great
number of shady transactions have occurred
In this county. One faction of the Demo-
cratic party Is continually en~deavOrlng 10

actions occur in the ranks Of the faithful.
who are not fit subjects for Investigator.
Matters are reaching such a state that
present condition of affairs, and the good
citizens of this county earnestly hope tnat
the present steps against fraud Will lead
to investigation.
Mr.. Hawkins is popular with members
of all parties here, and is a prominent poll
tician. and If he sees a fraud he is not AFRAID
to expose it, and is much commended for
ton II might not be improper to state that
he is being quietly urged by some OF his
friends as a candidate for Congress TO sue
coed Mr.. Miers.

turing business here with Banker Nc
Cherry, and also claimed to have been sport

up the statement. He gained prestige and
was living high. accommodating a big board

entree In the best society of Marion. He
cut out the others with one of the popular
society girls, and purchased a $40 suit of
clothes from a local tailor on credit. But
