The Ying Ping, or national army, is
called also the Green Flags" and
"The Five Camps" This army con-
sists of eighteen corps, one for each
province under the governor or gov
ernor-general. The nominal strength
is from 54O,0 900 to 100000 men, of whom
about 100000 are available for war,
never more than one-third being called
out.
The most important contingent is
the Tientsin army corps, nomiRally
100000 strong, really about $4,000,
with modern organization, drill and
arms, employed in garrison duty at
Tientsin. and at Taku and other
forts.
Besides these forces there are mer-
cenary troops raised in emergencies,
and Monaghan and other irregular
cavalry, nominally 200, 900 strong, real
ly about 10000, but of no military val
ue. The total land army on peace
footing is put at 100000 men and on
war footing at about 100000, but the
army as a whole has no unity or CO.
hesion; there is no proper discipline,
the drill is mere physical exercise, the
weapons are long since obsolete and
there is no transport commissariat or
medical service.

IMPORTANT indian SUIT.
Involving Millions Of Dollars As
Well As Citizenship.
WILL GO TO SUPREME COURT.

South McAlester, !. T., June 3o.-A
suit involving the admission to citizen
ship in the Choctaw nation of about
1000 people and involving approx
mately $40, 600, 900 worth of the lands
and funds of the Choctaw nation was
tried here in the United States court.
The suit is mandamus to compel the
Dawes commission to enroll Rebecca
Harris and others as members of the
tribe. The Dawes commission, in max
ing up final rolls of those entitled to
participation in the allotment of lands
and division of tribal funds, has re-
jected the name of the plaintiff in this
suit and others who were admitted by
the United States court, and have thus
practically defied the court authorities.
The conflict of authorities and the
immense interests involved make the
case one of national Importance, as it
will be taken to the United States
supreme court, by whichever party is
defeated here.

Tatnalls action was regarded by the
authorities at Washington as tanta-
mount to disobedience of orders, as he
had been strongly cautioned by his
government to preserve neutrality and
limit his activity solely to the protec-
ton of Americans. He was detached
from command and brought home, and
did not serve on an American ship

Der maintained on a war footing is
from $4,000 to 100000. The whole force

The Taku forts, occupied by the in
ternational forces, just forty-one years
ago were the scene of an episode which
gave tie world that famous phrase,
Blood is thicker than water"
A British fleet of eleven small gun
boats, under Admiral Hope, was en-
gagged in AN assault on the mud bat
teries Just inside the Pei-ho river bar
on June 25, 1859, when the tide went
down and left them helpless in the
mud under the fire of the Chinese
smoothbores.
Capt. Tatnall, the flag officer COM
manding the United States China
squadron, which was anchored off the
bar, nominally guarding American in
terests, perceiving the plight Of the
British Admiral, lowered his barge and
with his flag lieutenant and twenty
men rowed up the river to show the
Englishman how to point his guns. The
flag lieutenant, Stephen Decatur
Trenchard, was badly wounded and
one man in the barge was killed in
passing through the fire from the forts.
Once on board. however, the British
guns were so we'll served by the Amer
leans that the forts were silenced and
Tatnall himself piloted the gunboats
by a channel he had discovered until

Rural DeiOerY.

Rural free delivery by means Of boat
is the latest proposed extension of the
mail service. The plan was suggested
by Postmaster Jones of Oconomowoc,
and is now before the postofice de-
partment at Washington. In the vi
cinity of Oconomowoc there is a chain
of lakes covering fifty miles of terri
tory along which are the cottages oc-
cupied by the summer residents. The
postmaster's suggestion is that fast
steamer make the trip around these
lakes and leave mail at the cottages.
The plan seems feasible. The Ocono-
mowoc Waterways association is now
dredging a channel from Oconomowoc
lake to Fowler lake and marine rail-
way is to be built to connect Lac La
Belle with Lake Fowler. When these
improvements are made, and they are
promised for the end of August, boats
may make a circuit of all the lakes,
and rural free delivery, not now posi-
BILE by wagons or the ordinary means,
will be practicable by means OF a

Fears For Conger.

Washington, June O.-Administra-
ton officials are quite concerned over
Chinese advices to the effect that the
members of the foreign legations in
Pekin are not at Tien Tsin with Ad-
miral Seymour's relief column. 1t is
believed here that Mr.. Conger would
have taken the very first opportunity
to communicate with his government,
and the fact that he has not done so is
considered confirmatory that the lega-
ton representatives are still in Pekin,
and some fears are entertained for
them if still in the Chinese capital.
