THERE is another serious hitch in the
negotiations over the contents Of the
joint note the powers are arranging to
present to China. 1t was understood, a
few days ago, that all Of the powers
had about agreed to the terms of their
proposed demands; but, on Sunday
came the news that Great Britain
wanted something further. Just what
that something was, or is, has not de-
veloped; but it is understood that there
will now be more delay because all of
the foreign representatives at Pekin
will have to communicate with their
respective governments before they can
agree to changes.

OFF FOR An OUTING.
Washington ROys Preparing to Leave
for Summer Camp.

A number of boys from this city will this
year, as in the past. join their comrades
from some fourteen different states. and
spend their vacation months in camp in
the delightful White mountain region Of
New Hampshire. Mr. Geo. III. Scnsner, in
structor in the Emerson Institute, who was
"A participant In the festivities of camp the
past two years, will have charge of the
Washington party.
The camping ground. known as idle
wild" is on Manhannock Island, Lake
Winnepesaukee, n. II. 1t is owned by the
Rev John NJ. Dick of Boston, who, while
a student at Yale. saw that there was Il
demand on the part Of wcll-to-do people for
Il place where their sons can spend their
vacation months free from the objection
able influences of the ordinary summer re-
sort" Knowing that the average boy is in
love with and in need of outdoor life, he
was convinced that If a summer camp could
be provided, well equipped and properly
handled, it would meet this need.
From the first, "IdleWild' met with sue
cess, having now the Endorsement of the
leading families of New England and other
states. The primary object of the camp is
to make it pleasant and profitable for bo%s
to spend their summer months there and
at the same time to teach them that i. is
not necessary to forget the Sabbath and re
ligious habits nor to break out of whnle-
some restraint in order to have jolly good
time.
In camp the boys live in tents. row. swim,
fish. play ball and tennis, enjoy all sorts
of athletic and aquatic sports, and do all
other things that to boys mind conSti-
tutes Camping out To assist him earn
season Mr. Dick selects popular college
men and places a specialist in charge of
each department of camp life. One is in
charge of the athletics, one of the noun
tain trips. another for the evening enter
tainments. another for the tutoring depart
ment and on.
A resident camp physician is in charge Of
the health of the boys and is responsible
for the sanitary arrangements. Each sea
son about twenty boys take a ten DAYS
coaching tour through the White noun
tains. climbing to the summit of Mount
Washington over the old Crawford path.
This years party will leave June 81. go
ing to New York by rail, connecting there
with the Fall River boat for Boston. where
the main party will be met and special car
taken for the camp. The boys range in
age from ten to eighteen years.
