THE FIRST STEP.
Germany Holds That Those Respon-
sible for the Chinese Uprising
Should BE Punished.

Berlin, Sept. 19.-The foreign office
has sent a circular note to all the pow.
ers announcing that the German gov
eminent considers that an indispensa
BILE preliminary to the beginning Of
peace negotiations with China is the
delivering up of those who are re.
sponsible for the outrages.
Berlin, Sept. 19.-The publication
of Count Won Buelow's circular note,
which was made through the Nord
Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, was de-
cided upon because it was deemed
best to let the world see that Ger
many had nothing to hide regarding
her real aims in China The diplo-
matte corps here so interprets it.
The note shows also that Count Won
Buelow's sober and moderate views
regarding the Chinese muddle and its
solution have now triumphed over
Emperor Williams "more expansive
plans" The Freisinnig Zeitung, call
ing particular attention to passage
declaring that wholesale executions
would be contrary to the civilized
conscience, will say: "This is in strik-
ing contrast with Emperor Williams
instructions to the departing troops,
to spare no one and to make no pris-
oners."
London, Sept. 19.--As might have
been expected, coincident with the ar
rival of Count Won Waldersee in China
comes the most important declaration
of policy yet by any of the allies.
As the Daily News remarks: Ser
many's circular note has turned the
tables on Russia, whose evacuation pro-
posal has put Germany into an awk-
ward corner. Now, if Russia assents to
the German note. she will be unable
to continue, says the Daily News, to
pose as China's lenient and forgiving
friend; while, If she dissents, Russia
will lay herself open to the charge of
reducing the punitive expedition to a
farce.
London, Sept. 1s.-"On the eve OF

dition of peace negotiations, without
which the dissolution of the Chinese
empire was inevitable. Lord Salisbury
informed Earl Ii that the allies de-
sired to preserve China, but that moth

revocable intention of Furnishing those
responsible for the outrages, whom
they would, if necessary, pursue over
all China"

municipal governments into larger admin.
!strative divisions. corresponding to coun.
tics or provinces.
While the commission 10 Instructed to

Holland.
rnfCD GRADE.

There is county, far away across the
sea that is called Holland. The people
who live in Holland called the Dutch.
But the strangest thing Of Holland are the
bikes. these dikes are called sea walls,
aud keep the sea from pouring over all
the land and drowning all the people.
Now You may know that This country il
very low, and it lies close besiue the
ocean Nothing but the stlong dikes
could keep the ang,y waves away from the
very doors OF the people OF Holland. The
people who live in Holland wear wooden
shoes and quaint caps. They haze no
rivers like u, but lhey dig bitches and let
the water Of the sea run through them.
In the winter iimc these bitches freeze up
and the women put on their skates and
skate to market with their baskets on
their heads.
Ia the summer time they get their
donkeys and hitch them in gocarts and 80
to market that way.
One day, long years ago. liltle Peter was
playing in the garden by his home ia
Holland, when his mother called to him
from the door Of the cottage, Come,
Peter" SAID his mother, Il want yop to
carry YOUR grandmother this cheese which
| have made for hei. Go Straight upon
your way without playing, hasten back so
! that your father NAV find YOU when he
comes 10 his supper" Peter took the
basket that held the cheese and fastened
on his way. lie did not delay to gather
the pretty flowers that grew by the way
side, and soon reached his grandmother ;
house.
But it was almost dark. lie gave his
grandmother kiss and turned on his way
home, and when lie Was nearly at home he
saw small stream of water running
through the rock Of the wall, aud he
stuck his finger in the hole and saved all
the peoples lives who lived in Holland
Next morning his father went to look tor
him, and found him holding his finger in
the hole, and said, My brave boy is a
hero" "Ycs,' cried all the people, he
has saved all our lives, he is a hero.

The Big Stone Gap post. [volume] (Big Stone Gap, Wise County, Va.) 1892-1928, 1900-01-25

Some concern is felt over the
question as to who is to rule IN la
wall after it is organized as terrific
ry or state. The population is about
124 900, Of whom the Americans
British and Germans furnish 6,0OO,
less than 9 per cent OF the total
There are 5000 Portuguese, o,4o.
Hawaiian and European mixed
bloods, $1,000 natives, and nearly
$4,000 japanese and Chinese. The
latter will, Of course, be disfranchIS'
ed but even so, less than one fifth OF
the population will be "whitc men
as we understand the term. The
Portuguese are very low class and are
ranked with the natives. Unless
more stringent laws or methods thar
are now in vogue in any southern
state are adopted, it will be imposSi'
BILE for the whites to rule.
