as Boxers" w. 10. Curtis, q wen I'M
formed correspondent Of the Chicago
Record, says:
Il realize that It Is a very unpopu-
lar position, but nevertheless there are
two sides to the story Of the Boxers"
In China. You will notice by the dis
patches THAT there are railroad riots in
the Shantung province. and the Bel
gian and German railway engineers
have been assaulted and are afraid Of
assassination, aud that work has been
suspended on certnin portions OF the
line now under construction. I have
alluded to this matter before, and
while no n can Justify assassination
or approve the cOwardly methods
which the Boxers have adopted to
revenge themselves upon the foreign
devils that have invaded their coun-
try, they can at least plead extraOrdin-
airy prOvocation, for the Germans and
the Belgians who are constructing rail.
roads IN the Shantung province have
trcnted the natives In a most ab0min.
able manner and have provoked the
riots Of which they now complain.
That portion Of China IS one Of the
most densely populated sections of the
earth, and the people have a desperate
struggle for existence. Every inch OF
ground Is cultivated: every straw and
every ,sprig Of vegetation is utilized in
some way for the support OF life. The
country Is divided into little farms
which are cultivated almost with Il mi
cr0scope, one might say, because It il
necessary for the subsistence Of some
family, and the dead are buried in the
gravel hills, where nothing can grow
Through this country and under
these conditions railways are being
constructed by German and Belgian
engineers, who show a most brutal in.

TEST OF ARTIFICIAL STONE.
City Officials and Citizens watching
Engine House Work.

The city is making a test of the dura-
hility Of artificial stone, which may set
tie question that has been a subject for
discussion by Council and citizens a long
time. As previously stated in the Morn
ing News, artificial stone is 60 be used
in flooring the Henry street fire station.
Mr.. Frank Barker. who was awarded this
contract, is making preparations 20 do the
best Of work with a view TO settling the
doubt about the durability of artificial
stone as a flooring and sidewalk material
The engines used by the fire department
weigh anywhere from six 20 seven thous-
and pounds, and the horses are the larg-
est and heaviest obtainable The great
strain necessarily put upon flooring by the
rush of getting in and out of the engine
house will be enough to test the quality
of the construction. The flooring will be
put down in a srooved form to admit of
the horses getting over it without Slip
ping. While the work is in progress the
department al that station viii be quar-
tered in a tent nearby.
Great interest is expressed among city
officials in the outcome Of the test 1t
can be told in a short time after the de
partment again takes possession whether
1he flooring is 10 be a success or a fail
IRE. When the artificial Stone sidewalk
ordinance was passed many doubted the
durability Of stone. Since then great
deal has been laid in all parts of the
city, and particularly the southern sec
ton, and IL has proved generally satisfac-
cory. Savannah gets the benefit of all
workmen employed and material used in
the cons truction.

JULY WENT OUT HOT.
A Month of High Temperature and
Little Rain.

Savannahians have experienced hotter
weather than that of the last two days,
but seldom has the heat been more se-
Verely felt, owing to the high degree of
humidity. The maximum temperature
yesterday was 30 degrees at $50 o'clock.
The minimum of 70 degrees was reached
al 4 o'clock in the morning. AT s o'clock
at night Savannah had the same temper
ature as Washington, and was only two
degrees above that of Boston. The ex-
IRENE hot weather is in the West. When
il was SO degrees in Savannah, it was

City. and IS az Davenport, Ia, and Nor n

temperature they wanted, though, and
would gladly have had a little less. There
was little breeze during the early part Of
the night. What there was, was a bless
ing The street cars were crowded up to
a late hour and the people realized what
a good thing trolley riding is on a hot
night.
With last nights weather reports July's
report ended. The Weather Bureau re-
cords show the month to have been a hot
and unusually dry one. There is an ex-
cess for the month of 3 degrees in temper
allure and a shortage in rainfall of ga
inches, about half an inch more than the
shortage for the entire year so far
