The magnitude Of the actual and pos
sible commercial! interests Of the United
States In China cannot be disputed, but
in the present difnculties in China there
Is a much more Important matter at
stake-the lives Of American mission
aries and citizens. Some Of the self
sacFiGcing class who were imparting
light to the darlsened souls Of the
heather have already been massacred
by the fanatical "Boxers," and ut last
reports others were in imminent dan
ger. The safety Of these people Is the
first confederation, but with all this
at stake the administration, owing to
the completely OF the sltuatlon-spheFes
Of influence and the greed of other ma
tons for slices Of the Celestial Empire
lis compelled TO move with extreme
conservatism. In this perplexlty the
administration Is disposed to leave
much to Minister Conger's Judgment,
because he is on the ground and In a
position to Judge conditions exactly,
and because action which ne tindS nee
essary for the protection OF American
interests viii be more easy to explain
than action which may be deliberately
ordered from Washington.
In discussing the attitude Of the Pres
ident and his advisers in this delicate
crisis a Washington correspondent
sums up the situation as follows:
There ls fear at the state department
that public sentiment Is not yet ready
TO sustain the administration in an ag-
gressiVe policy which goes beyond the
immediate demands Of the moment II
Is fully determined that no alliance
shall be made with Great Britain, nor
even shall there be any direct c0-opera-
ton with her TO the exclusion OF other
powers, except so far as Il may be ac-
tually forced upon the United States
officers in China by the course OF
events. The proposal that the Uni
ted States should take the lead In en-
forcing order In China would undoubt-
eddy have the cordial approval Of the
British and japanese governments, II
not OF the governments Of Russia, Ger
many and France. A plain intimation
Of the feeling Of at least one govern
ment on this subject has been conveyed
to the state department.
President Mckinley Is determined,
however, to do nothing which Will com
promise the present strong position of
the United States or put It in the attl-
tude OF wRnton assault upon the In
tegrlty OF the Chinese empire. II is felt
at the white house and the state depart
ment that whether the United States
should finally become the guardian OF
order in China, or should maintain It's
present attitude in favor Of the COM
plete integrity Of China under the pres
ent government, the wisest course at
present is to net only for the direct
protection of American citizens, and
make no indetenaible demands upon the
government Of PekIn.

Locks and dams arc servIceable for
more than one thing, as was attested
in the Kanawha river last week. when
$50 barges Of coal were started from
the mouth of that river to southern
ports. This Is one of the largest ship
ments OF Kanawha coal ever made by
water. The amout of coal was s,25O,OOo
bushels. The Ohio river has been very
low for some time and 1t was impossI-
Bile to get the coal down, but a good
plnn was hit upon by the government
officials. who opened the dams in the
Kanawha river and thus produced an
artificial rise in the river that served
10 carry the big feet to Cincinnati,
where It arrived Friday. This plan will
probably be rcsorted to many times
hereafter when the water can be spared
from tho Kanawha river. The feet had
all been dropped down that stream to
Point Pleasant, so there was not much
to do up the river for a time, and In
this case the water could be spared
without inconvenience above.

REF1EcT1oNg OF a BAoHHIoR

After a man has eaten up his hum
ger, he begins on his own appetite.
A woman is never really happy after
she gets to an age when she has to be
nice to the men.
One Of the advantages in a wife is
having some one who Is sure to tell you
when you need to get your hair cut.
Standardization depends entirely on
whether we judge ourselves by what
we know more than other people, or by
what other people know more than we
do.
Women look dreadfully uncomfort-
able sitting around with a white shirt
waist on, because they are afraid to
lean back on anything for fear they Will
get dirt on it.-New York Press.

The Louisville Post has the follow
ing:
"The ultimate salvation of the
mountain counties lies in the intro
duction OF new system of cuisine"

Hill was born and reared in Lee coun-
~. lie has a novel theory regarding
the upbuilding and development of
the extreme Eastern portion OF the
State. "I was born and reared in the
mountains" saws he, Sand l tell YOU
that what the mountains need most is
cooking school with q branch in
every town and hamlet snd hillside
cabin. No better people live than TIE
mountain folk of Kentucky, Tennes-
see and Virginia. They are honest,
hospitsbie and loyal, hut they live
year in and year out on the same sor'
of food, cooked in the same old indi-
gestible, unpalstsble fashion. Such
cooking is bound to produce a race of
and when a man is dys-
peptic, and his father before him was
a dyspeptic, and his grandfather be-
fore him, he is mighty apt to have 8
high temper and long memory for
his enemias, and be 3 trifle hssty
about drawing his gun. The hearts
of the mountain people are in the
RICH, place, bat their stomaohs nave
been mistrested for generations, and
the inevitable result is an annual sur
plusage OF homicides. You send q
lot of kitchen missionaries to the
mountains to teach the mountain girls
and women how to cook bacon sud
cornbread, and how to make coffee,
and bow to vary the diet occasionally
and the work of redeeming Eastern
Kentucky from it's bloodletting will
be done"
