MAKING EVERY EFFORT.
Chinese Government Issues Or
ders to Protect the For
eign Residents.

Washington, July 23-The state de-
partment makes public the following
text of an edict today delivered by Mr..
Wu to Secretary Hay. The edict referred
to by United States Consul Fowler in
his message received here yesterday:
'An imperial edict issued on the 1st
day of the 9Th moon, (July I'D trans
mitted by the Viceroy Liu Kun Yih on
the Goth of July and received by Minis
ter Wu on the 21st day of July, at z
o'clock
1.-THE present conflict between China
and the foreign powers had it's origin
in the long standing antagonism be-
tween the people and Christian mis-
sions. The subject fall of the Taku
forts precipitated the meeting of force
with force. The imperial government,
having due regard to the Importance of
international intercourse, still refused to
go so far as to interrupt the existing
relations. We have already repeatedly
issued DEGREES providing for the protec-
ton of the foreign legations and also
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1900-07-23

commanded the provincial authorities
to protect missionaries. Inasmuch as
there is still no cessation in the force.
foreign merchants and subjects residing
in China, who form a numerous body in
the country, should be protected with
out distinction. We hereby command
all the Tartar generals, gOvernOrS-gen-
eral and governors of provinces to look
after the foreign merchants and mis-
sionaries living in the open ports, pre-
lectures, departments and districts un-
der their respective jurisdiction and to
afford them due protection in accord
ance with treaty stipulations without
fail.
Last month we heard with profound
astonishment and regret of the killing
of the chancellor of the Japanese lega-
ton, Mr.. Akira, and the same fate befell
the German minister shortly afterward.
The violent removal of the German
minister, whose residence at the capital
was necessary to the transaction of bus
mess between two countries affected US
very deeply 1t is the duty of the auth
critics concerned to cause stringent or
derS for the speedy arrest and punish
ment of the murderers to be carried out.
Since the commencement of the at
tack in Tien Tsin, there are foreign sub
jects and missionaries who have, on ac-
count of local disturbances, suffered
death or loss of property through no
fault of their own. We hereby command
the governor of Pekin and the viceroy
of Chilli to cause Investigations to be
made by their respective subordinateS
of all such claims except those arising
directly from the said attack with
view to their ultimate settlement More
over. local outlaws and rebellious sub
ject have of late given themselves up to
burning, killing and plundering to the
great disquiet of our loyal subjects.
There is another defiance of the law We
hereby command the said governors
general and governors and commanders
of our force to investigate the situation
and to take such measure for the pun
ishment of the offenders and restora-
tion OF order as the necessities of the
case demand. We hereby command this,
our general e1ict to be made known for
the information of all it may concern.
Respect this"
A significant statement inS the above
edict is noted in that passage which df-
rect an investiga tion of all claims, "ex-
cept those arising directly from the said
attack (attack on Tien Tsin) with a
view to their ultimate settlement
This appears to make plain, not only
that the Chinese government will settle
claims for actual losses, but that it has
now formally decreed an exception of
these claims arising directly from the
attack on Tien Tsin. 1t seems to indi-
cate that the Chinese government holds
that the attack on Tien Tsin was un-
warranted.

E. L. Rees in Charge of the
Kansas Branch.

The branch house for the Mccormick
Reaper company for Kansas has been
established in Topeka and E. L. Rees
has charge of the opening and establish
ment of the business here.
An office will be opened this week in
the Thompson block between Sixth and
Seventh on Quincy street.
Mr.. Rees has been over the state visit
ing the principal towns, for the purpose
of selecting a location for this branch
house From the long list of candi-
dates for this honor he selected Topeka
because of the superior railroad facili-
ties which this city offers.
At this time the company has not Sc
cured a suitable office and the location
of the business in the Thompson block
is said to be but temporary.
The company expects to erect ware
house and office block 75x150 two stories
high and add to it a foundry 75x15O.
The plant which will be thus con-
structed will employ seventy-fve men,
The temporary location will probably
be occupied until the company selects a
location for the proposed new building.
Several sites are being considered, but
the company can not use some of them
because they are not convenient to rail-
road switches.
The facilities for doing business will
be greatly increased by the location of
the building on switch. For this rea-
son the location adjoining the Rock
Island switch between Kansas avenue
and Quincy street and the site on the
Santa Fe tracks near Seventh on Adams
are receiving the most favorable con-
sideratiOn.
The company hopes to reach the con-
struction of the building this year, but
it is possible that it will not be done un-
til next spring.
Heretofore the business for both the
state of Kansas and the state of Mis-
souri, was handled at the Kansas City,
Mo-, office. The office force which has

the Kansas City house will be brought
here and the work in the Topeka. office
will be organized and we'll under way by
the latter part of this week. Mr.. ReeS
will have permanent charge here.

FEW NEW NATIONALS.
Currency Law Increased Number of
State Banks in Kansas.

The new national currency law has
not mad the effect on Kansas banks
that was predicted by national bank
examiners when it was passed They
declared that within six months more
than fifty state and private banks of
Kansas would nationalize. Up to date,
only sig have changed to the national
systematic Bank of Commerce, of
Garnett; the Stock Growers and Farm
ers' bank, of Ashland; the Caney Val
ley bank, of Caney; the Northrup bank,
of lola; the Bank of Nortonville, and
the Citizens bank, of Lyons
About thirty state and private banks
made application to the comptroller of
the currency for charters, but many
of them withdrew their applications be-
fore they were approved and several
whose applications were approved de-
cided, after investigation, to stick to
the state system. Two new national
banks were chartered this week, the
National Bank of Mount Hope and the
Cedarville National bank. The first
named is now a private bank, while
the latter is an entirely new institu-
ton with ]. T. Bradley, of Sedan, as
the main hacker.
only six banks up to date, with a prom
ise of one more-the Mount Hope bank
going over to the national system, it
has gained fifteen by the organization
of new banks. This makes a net gain
for the state system of eight since the
new currency law took effect.
