Of the Chinese representations that
the Imperial Government has
steadfastly and from the first OPP.
posed the Boxer movement. Ex-
changes in constant progress be-
tween the powers are tending more
and more to cast suspicion upon
the genuineness Of the many COM
munications that have come from
Peking through Chinese govern
ment sources. If IL should he es-
tablished that there has been an
attempt on the part of the Chinese
to practice a gigantic fraud upon
the world, this fact may call for a
change of attitude on the part OF
the United States Government to.
ward China. This would not affect
the military policy already under
way, but merely the technical re
lations between the two govern
ments, which would closely APP
proximate a state Uf formal war.
The sympathy of the Admins
tration for Great Britain has been
shown in several ways recently by
the sending out, at government ex-
pense, by the Bureau of Education,
of pamphlets justifying the British
coarse in South Africa; by the cir.
culation by the Bureau OF Stats.

great trade advantages that it is
alleged that will accure to Ameri.
cans by the destruction of the Boer
Republics; and by the sacrifice oi
the Porcupine gold mining region
in Alaska to Canadian greed. This
last fact has been emphasized by
the protest of the miners there
against their unwarranted handing
over to Great Britain. According
to the terms Of the modus vivendi
negotiated by Secretary Hay with
such flourish of trumpets, this
area, clearly American, prospected
and developed by Americans, and
filed with American mining camps
was temporarily turned over to
Canada. Forming the hinterland

wives and children, reached san Juan,

weary marching, without food, from
San Lorenzo, a distance OF % miles.
The procession, made up of all shades

the words, Give us work, " marched
quietly through the city 10 the eXecu-
The spokesman then called upon Civil
Governor Hunt, and explained that the
object of the visit was TO ask the gov
ernment TO open u road between Caguas
and San Lorenzo, thus enabling the
laboring classes of the district TO get a
livelihood. He pointed out that at
present there was no work of any kind
in that district and that the people,
who were wholly dependent upon their
daily earnings, were without bread
and were suffering. Mr. Hunt replied
sympathetically and promised that the
government would do all in its power
To relieve the situation. The delega-
ton Immediately retired, well pleased

tered, and began the return Journey.
Orders were promptly issued for work

If YOU 90 into a store TO buy an article
that has achieved universal popularity
like Cascarets Candy Cathartic for eN
ample, you feel IL has the endorsement
of the world. The judgment of the
people is infallible because it is i'm
personal. The retailer who wants to
sell you something else" in place of
the article you ask for, has an AK Ia
grind. Don't il stand TO reason? He's
trying to sell something that is not
what he represents IL 70 be. Why?
Because he expects to derive an ex-
ira profit out OF your credulity. Are
you easy? Don't you see through his
little game? The man who will try
and sell you a substitute for CASCAR-
ETS is fraud Beware Of him! He
is trying TO steal the honestly earned
benefits of reputation which another
business man has paid for, and if his
conscience will allow him to go SO far,
he will 90 farther. If he cheats his GUS
toner in one way, he will in another
and it is not safe to do business with
him. Beware of the CASCARET sub

The bicycle, according to a recent
decision Of the full bench Of the Mas
sachusetts supreme court, is not a
carriage" within the meaning Of that
term as used in the statutes. Cities
and towns are consequently not bound
by law to keep their roads in such a
state OF repair and sr.oothness that .
,bicyele-rider can go over them in
safety. This decision was called forth
by an action brought against certain
Massachusetts town, because of per-
sonal injuries incurred by the plain
tiff while riding her bicycle on one OF
the roads. The court held that BIZ
cycle is more properly a machine than
a Carriage" as legally defined, and
that bicycle-riders, injured from acct
dents arising from defects in the high
ways of cities and towns, have not a
valid claim for damages. The decl-
sion will not prevent them from con-
tinuing the agitation for good and safe
roads.

vest we'll advanced. There are a few
complaints Of rust and smut in oats
but generally the crop is very fine and
heavy. 1t is being well secured and in
the southern counties its threshing is
well advanced Late potatoes are do
ing finely and their present condition
is very promising. Beans vary some
what but for the most part are doing
well. Sugar beats continue TO make
good growth and remain promising.

for fall wheat and rye is quite general
and correspondents report the soil in
good condition. Peaches are ripening
and are quite plentiful. Plums and
APPLES indicate rather poor crop.

is very short crop it is generally Of
good quality; rye is full. good crop,
