OFF FOR CANTON.
President Mckinley Goes to His Ohio
Home to Spend u Few
Weeks.

Washington, June 3O.-President and
Mrs. Mckinley left Washington at
7:45 o'clock on Friday night via
the Pennsylvania railroad for Can
ton, o., where they are to re-
main for several weeks. With them
went Secretary Cortelyou, DR.. p. NJ.
Rixey, the presidents physician, and
a stenographer from the white house.
The Mckinley home at Canton has
been thoroughly renovated and refur-
nished and the president hopes to en-
joy season of comparative rest and
quiet before returning to the capital.
Only the more important matters re-
quiring his attention will be referred
to him, and routine affairs will be dis
posed of here.

in one Chinese city. The daily death
month. Equal mortality in this coun-
try would nearly bury the whole
United States in year and half. The
appearance of the great walled cities is
very interesting to occidental eyes.
Peking, the capital, perhaps more so
than any other. 1t is in two sections,
the Tartar and Chinese towns. The
latter was, at first, suburb and was
inclosed during the sixteenth century.
1t is rectangular in shape, its walls
measuring ten miles in length. Tho
Tartar city joins it at the north, is
square and surrounded by high walls
IA miles long. Inside the latter is the
Imperial city, also with high walls and
gates through which foreigners are al
lowed to pass freely. In the heart of
the Imperial city is the home of the
emperor, the forbidden City," into
which no foreigner may be admitted.
The legations are situated near each
other in the southern part of the Tar
tar city. Peking is adorned by numer-
GUS temples representing Confucian.
ism, Buddhism, Mohammedanism and
the resting places of numerous Chinese
idols.
Although there is said to be power
in numbers, large bodies are apt to be
very unwieldy. The Chinese empire in
it's integrity seems fast becoming a
thing of the past. Demands which a
few years ago would have been treated
with disdain are now acceded to in the
most servile manner. Seaport after
seaport has been ceded to different ma
tions. Corea has entirely escaped from
the jurisdiction of China. Russia prac-
tically rules Manchuria and has
grasped her interior borders in Iii and
Turkestan. The japanese hare ac-
quired the camphor forests and lofty
mountains of picturesque Formosa,
while the French have secured control
of AMMAN.
The fate of India is fair index of
what would happen should England
gain control of China, and the condi-
tions of the masses in Russia family
indicates what the Greek church would
be likely to accomplish if grated on
to Confucianlsm.

PREPARING FOR THE END.
Lord Roberts Believed to be Perfect-
Ing Plans for Wind-Up of
War in South Africa.

London, June 3O.-The war office has
received the following from Lord Rob-
erts:
Pretoria, June 29.-Paget reports from
Lindley that he was engaged on June 20
with a body of the enemy who were strong
ly REINFORCED during the day. A convoy of
stores from the Lindley garrison was also
attacked on June 26; but, after heavy
rear guard action, the convoy reached
Lindley in safety. Our casualties were ten
killed and four officers and about so men
wounded.
''The fight reported yesterday was under
Lieut.. Col. Grenfell, not Dreiper. Brabant
came up during the engagement. Total
casualties of the two columns, three killed
and % wounded.

of the enemy. Our casualties were two
officers killed, four men wounded, and one
man missing.
"Methuen found yesterday that the Boer
laagernear Vachkop and Spitzkop had been
hastily removed in the direction of Lind
ley. He followed the enemy 12 miles and
captured 5000 sheep and 500 head of cattle
which the enemy had seized in that neigh
borhood. Our casualties were four men
wounded.
Springs, the terminus of the railway
from Johannesburg due east, was at

Canadian regiment which garrisons the
place beat off the enemy. No casualties

real history is contemporary with
that of legendary Rome, and whose
fabulous history so far antedates that
of all other nations, except, perhaps,
Egypt, that its fantasies bear GER
tain mark of dignity.
Heathen China was a civilized pow
er long before the Israelites were de-
livered from bondage in Egypt, was
roo years old when they crossed the
Red sea, and had settled constitu-
tional government in The time of
Abraham. The Chinese are not such
navigators as might be expected of a
people with 400 miles of coast, yet
they invented the compass 1884 b. c.,
over 400 years before Babylon was
said to have been founded by Nimrod,
the grandson of Ham.
The Chinese were carrying on, very
much as they do at the present day,
their pursuits of agriculture, com
merce and literature" when Joshua's
trumpet sounded outside the walls of
Jericho, while the "chosen people"
were waging all their fierce battles,
when the Psalms of David were first
sung, while the temple of Solomon
was in process of construction, when
the great seer, Isaiah, was pouring
out his prophecies, while Daniel stilled
the lions roar and the three young
men walked unharmed through the
fiery furnace. They had a grand
canal 200 miles long before Columbus
discovered America. Their great wall
was built 220 years before the birth
of Christ.
This is not the first time anarchy
and confusion have reigned in this
country, which numbers centuries as
we do years, but heretofore affairs
have seemed to adjust themselves.
For period of over 100 years end
ing A. d. 42O conditions were much
worse than at present. Now repre-
sentatives of many nations are trans
porting munitions of war into this
hoary old land that their own 'citi-
zens resident there may be protect
ed" The Chinese have progressed so
slowly that the masses are totally in
capable of utilizing our modern artil-
lery, should some of the guns fall
into their hands, yet they were IA
miliar with the use of arms and gum
powder 1000 years ago. We consider
the introduction of printing as one of
the most important landmarks of the
progress of our civilization. The Chi
nese practiced the art 500 years be-
bore the birth of Caxton, and manu-
factured paper $50 A. d. They were
engravers 1000 B. c.
China's population is so great that
it is impossible to realize the numbers
as we speak them. 1t is said that all
the citizens of Canada could be placed

degradation of the people themselves.
In an un-Christian nation, with a popu-
1ation estimated at from three to four
hundred millions, covering a territory
considerably larger than the United
States, excluding Alaska, 30 times as
large as France and "a times greater
than the German empire, with a mil

walled cities, some terrible customs
prevail and dreadful crimes are fire.
quently committed; but the same state
of affairs has existed for centuries.
Missionaries for years have been doing
a great work for individuals, but the
'4ittle leaven" has not, thus far, seemed
to accomplish much for the "whole
lump" Yet things might have i'm
proved gradually had not outside
greed for money, land and power
waged too active warfare against
the traditions of the slow7going Mon
golians who are so little susceptible
to change and whose civilization has
been the almost imperceptible growth
of ages.
Whatever the cause, the record of re-
cent events transpiring in that unhap-
py country does not make pleasant
reading.
There are great many Chinese So
'cieties, and there are few Cinnamon
who are not members of one or more
of them. An innocent man, because
he cannot help himself, may belong to
one of the most criminal. He must
join or be killed. The dues are heavy
and the larger the membership the
greater the income of the chief Off
GERS. Some of the associations are en-
tirely harmless. Some correspond to
our trades unions, others are of polit-
ical character, while there are some
little better than bands of robbers.
Many of those whose origin was for a
laudable purpose have degenerated.
The society of Boxers is said to have
originated $50 years ago and to favor
the overthrow of their Manchu rulers
and the restoration of the revered
Ming dynasty. The secret societies
accompany the Chinese wherever they
go. European governments have made
great efforts to stamp them out at all
points where they have jurisdiction.
A great struggle was made at Singa-
pore, where it is believed they are prac-
tically suppressed. That many of the
crimes committed on our own Pacific
coast may be traced to these organiza-

lions is well known. 1t is impossible
to imagine the terrible events transpir-
ing in China at the present time, which
are ascribed to the Boxers. But
whole nation cannot be judged by the
acts of a part of it's worst members.
While millions are in state of deplor-
able ignorance in country with twice
as many inhabitants as North and
South America, Africa and Oceanica
combined, the Chinese as a whole are
far from being barbarians. The last
half century has added materially to
our knowledge regarding China, which
had previously managed to keep her
affairs pretty well to herself, requir-
ing nothing from the outside world
land certainly contributing nothing to
Ats welfare.

Berlin, June 30.--lt is evident that
the German government expects the
disturbances in China to last for long
time, inasmuch as all volunteers joining

been pledged for service until the au-
tumn of 1901. The expedition will take
1900 tents, each to serve for two men.

VIII Drop Prosecution of lester.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 3o.-A Star
special from Mexico, Mo-, says: 1t is
said here that John w. Gates, the Chi
cago capitalist, has decided to drop
the prosecution of the famous case of
Alexander Jester, charged with kill
ing his brother, Gilbert Gates, in Mis-
souri, 20 years ago. Jester, while un-
der indictment for the murder, es-
capped from prison 2s years ago and
was only arrested year ago. He was
tried in 1890, but the jury disagreed.
A second trial had been set for next
week at New London, NO. Jester is
30 wears of age.

THE chief point to which the in

course, the Chinese empire. Opinions
regarding it's future seem to be divid-
ed correspondently with the ambitions
of those nations who, jointly and sew
orally, as the case may be, are desirous
of becoming the arbiters of its COM
ing fate. 1t is useless for the politi-
clans whose vaccinations have so ma
terially aided in bringing about the
present deplorable condition of affairs
to try to impress the public with the
belief that the origin of the disturb
ance was primarily of an internal ma
ture, due entirely to the ignorance and

The death of Mr.. Herbert Ed
mundson occurred at his home
near Eureka Saturday. He was
confined to his bed but a short
while. Only a few days ago he
was in Goldscoro and bought a
new suit of clothes. When he
returned home he jokingly re-
marked to his wife that he had
bought a suit of clothes to be
buried in, the same as n OF his
neighbors had done a few weeks
previous. The prophecy made
in jest was fulfilled in sorrow.
He was a large land owner and
an influential citizen in his com.
munity. His many friends in
this city as we'll as throughout
thy county will be grieved to
learn of his death.
