WILL SEND A LARGE FORCE

Emperor William wants saubuc-
ton for KetteIer's Death.
Berlin, July Prom well authentica-
ted reports the representative OF the AS
ISOLATED Press is able to state that to-
day. after the detailed statement by
Count Won Buelow, secretary of state for
foreign affairs, regarding the Chinese Sit
uation, Emperor william made up his
mind TO insist upon full satisfaction for
the death of Baron Won ketteler. Tor
which purpose he resolved to send armed
forces approximately as large as those
of the other Powers chiefly interested IN
restoring order in China.
The precise size OF the force has not yet
been determined but it is expected that
they will not altogether amount TO 20 600
A considerable portion OF The German
feet will be sent also. This is evidenced
by orders issued tonight to prepare 1--WE
large battleships for sailing. 1t Is under
stood that Prince Henry Of Prussia has
requested the Emperor 10 give him COM
mand Of this division, but 1t Is doubtful
yhe her His Majesty Will agree to this.
The F,nperor ana Count Won Buelow are
fully aware that constitutional difficulties
render difficult the dispatching Of so large
a contingent, but both are agreed that IL
must be done. In this they are supported
by the singularly unanimous attitude OF
she German press. Tonight number OF
the leading papers seriously discuss means
for fulfilling the nations wish to make
reprisals against China correspondingly
severe with the outrages.
At the foreign Office tonight the situa-
ton for Germany was described as most
difficult, especially since the latest news
shows that serious trouble is impe ndng
IN Shan Tung.
The Chinese legation here is still suil-
ingly snug. Minister Lu Hal Houan told
a representative of the Associated Press
that he was extremely sorry for the bloody
events in Pekin, but he felt sure that the
Dowager Empress was guitless. From an
interesting chat with him, the point seems
worth recording that the minister took
II for granted that the Powers would
subdue the revolt in China. and then ar
range a new government.

the American nation the gratitude OF

which is to perpetuate between the two
republics memories which are equally dear

of Congress and the probable recall of
President Mckinley to Washington from
Conton overshadow the Kansas City Con-
vention and dwarf the Republican cam
pagn.
A member of the cabinet who is IA
miliar with all the details of the Chinese
question, so far as official developments
are concerned, in commenting upon Ad-
miral Kempff's latest official dispatch
from Che Foo says the point has not
yet been reached to justify the United
States in making a formal declaration of
war against the Chinese government. "It
is evident from abe information we have
received he went on to say, that China
is in a state of revolt, and the govern
ment of the empire Is unable to put down
the uprising prevailing in Pekin and
vicinity We have received many con-
ficting reports, and thus far we have no
direct evidence shat the Chinese govern
ment is responsible for the depredatio
already committed on foreigners"

Questions That Rule.
That depends entirely upon circum-
stances" replied the cabinet officer
There are many questions to be con-
sidered before taking such step First,
We must be assured that the Chinese gov
eminent has violated the laws of inter-
course supposed to exist between friendly
powers. Then We must be certain that
the government is a participant in the
Expectations against representatives and
citizens of the United States. or indirectly
sympathizing and encoura ging the viola
tions of international agreements. In adj
dition, we must consider whether it will
be to our advantage TO go to war with
China or whether we can protect the
rights of our citizens without going to
that extreme. A nation does not declare
war against one of its neighbors unless Il
expects TO be benefited by doing so. We
have nothing to gain by declaring war
with China; our desire and intention Is to
protect American citizens, whether Off
cislly employed or otherwise. and TO res

tient. The anti-toxin remedy Is no
longer an experiment. Its success is an
established fact.
But even under present conditions
the danger Of the situation is not to be
ignored. Diphtheria does it's work
quickly. Children are often killed by
it even before parents realize that their
illness is serious enough to warrant
the sending for a physician. In the
case of the poorer and more ignorant
classes, the danger Is still greater
than in the case of the well-to-do and
more intelligent; but everywhere the
situation will bear careful watching.
The consequences of a possible cpl
demic might be fearful.
The raising Of funds along the lines
suggested ought to be a very easy
matter. Of course no individual likes
to be imposed upon, and in this case
there need be no imposition. 1t can be
understood that no part Of this con-
tributed fund shall be used in any case
where the parents Of victims are able

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The county board Of commissioners
held its regular monthly meeting IN
the office of the supervisor last We'd
day. All the members were present.
With the exception Of the approval OF
a few accounts, about the only business
of public interest that was transacted,
was the granting Of a petition to make
public the old road leading from the
corner Of the Ratteree pasture, IN
Ebenezer township, to the Moore's fer
ry road at W. H. Blackwelder's.
Supervisor Culp stated that he had
been notified by Contractor Crafts that
the Catawba river bridge would be
completed ready for inspection during
the early part Of next week, and 1T was
agreed that the board hold an adjourn
ed meeting on the river at day to be

1t seems that although the bridge
proper is about complete, no work has
vet been done on the approaches Mr..

the work, has until October Is to COM
plete the job, and the probability IS
that it will be at least month yet be-
fore the bridge is ready for use.

IT MAY SAVE LIVES.

THE ENQUIRER is very much graft
fled at the prompt response that has
been made to the suggestion that a
fund be raised by private subscription
to provide anti-toxin for diphtheria vic
tins in destitute families.
1t is impossible at this time to en-
phasize the possible consequences of a
diphtheria epidemic. There are few
adults in the country who are not fa-
miliar with the work of this terrible
disease. On more than one occasion,
in times past, the children have been
decimated from whole neighborhoods,
and we can call to mind several worthy
old couples who are now childness be-
cause of diphtheria.
Thanks to the progress of modern
medical science, diphtheria is not near
ly so dangerous as it used to be. Left
to itself, of course, it will kill as sure
ly and as speedily as ever; but taken
in time by a competent physician, the
chances are largely in favor of the pa
