BOXERS ARE HARD TO HANDLE.
CHINESE UPRISING TAKES ON A
SERIOUS ASPECT.

Nine Methodist Missionaries Murder
Soldiers Deserving to tire Rioters.
Minister Conger Appealed for Pro-
lection for the American Consul
1ate--Marines May BE Landed-The
Newark Near PeISin.
Washington. May 2s.-such advices as
have reached here indicate that the sit
uation in China has assumed a very criti-
cal phase, and one calculated to tax the
entire resources of the Chinese govern
ment.
The state department has been In close
communication with Mr.. Conger our min
lister at Pekin. and the navy department
is doing its share. having placed the flag
ship Newark as far up the Pei-Ho river
as the Taku forts which is the nearest
point to Pekn that the ship can reach.
The operations of the Boxers" are in
creasing in magnitude. Their demonstra-
tons are no longer local, and they appear
to be governed in their movements by
some we'll settled design. They have muir
dered nine Methodist missionaries in one
province, at the town off Pachow, and
have closed in on Pekin. Meanwhile the
Chinese army is suspected of disloyalty,
this belief being strengthened by whole
sale desertions of the soldiers to the
Boxers"
Minister Conger has appealed to the state
department for the protection of a marine
guard for his legation. The department
has promptly cahled him an authorization
n IA I1nn Init fnA fnC Nan
val vessels for assistance 1t Is not known
yet whether he has availed himself of the
permission.
The embarrassing feature of the situa-
ton is the cutting of the communication
by rail between Taku and Tien Tsin and
the capital for the Boxers have burned
the railroad bridges, and there are proba-
bly, only two courses open to the marines
who wish to reach Pekin long overland
march through a hostile country away
from supports, or a tedious voyage up the
swift and shallow Pei-Ho in shore boats
In tow of steam launches.
Uprising Is Most Serious.
According to report, the Chinese govern
ment has done everything in its power to
meet the demands of the diplomatic body
at Pekin for the dispersion of the Boxers,
but it appears that the uprising Is far
more serious than was at first apprehen-
ded, and even the resident ministers at
Pekin are inclined to admit that the task
Is not an easy one for the Chinese gov
ernment.
So far all the. measures taken by the
state department look to the simple pro-
lection of the American legation at Pc
kin, the American consulates in the vicin-
ity and the lives Of such Americans as
may be obliged to take refuge therein,
in the event of general rioting.
The state department is closely adher-
ing to the practice IL has always OBJ
served of non-interference in these Chi
nese disturbances, and 1t is not contem-
plated that our naval forces shall take
any part In the contest between the Chi
nese government and the Boxers"
though II Is assumed that Rear Admiral
Remey, the ommander-in-chief of the
Asiatic station, will take immediate steps
to supply Rear Admiral Kempff, the Sc
nior squadron commander, with such
naval force as he may need for safe
guarding American interests at the treaty
ports.

Stumbled. But won q WIFE.

Gov. Aaron V. Brown, of Tennessee,
was Chesterfield for politeness and a
Talleyrand for wit. When he, a
much-admired widower, was paving
his addresses yet unavowed-to
an attractive young widow, he called
at her house one day and was ushered
into room darkened to the degree
which the prevailing fashion of those
days declared to be elegant, and be-
fore the governor had familiarized
himself with the surrounding OBJ
jects in the gloom the young widow
entered the room. With enthusiastic
devotion he advanced to meet her
hastily, not noticing low stool di-
rectly in his pathway; unhappily, he
stumbled over it and pumped upon
his knees directly at the feet of the
object of his affections. Before she
could utter word of apology or sym
pathy the adroit governor, Selling
her hand, exclaimed: ''Madam, a
happy accident has borught me where
inclination has long led me- The
formal declaration which followed
was of course successful, for such
ready gallantry could not be resisted.

The practice which so long obtained
in southern California of protecting
the orange trees from chill by canvas
coverings has gradually been aban-
dOned in favor of the construction of
roofs. The latticed ceiling over the
orange grove makes a difference of
five degrees in the temperature diff
ference often sufficient to save an en-
tire crop. Only about half the amount
of water is needed, as the groves are
not exposed to the winds which draw
the moisture from the soil-an item
of no small Importance where irriga-
tion imposes such heavy tax.

Glass shades on Graves.

An English vicar has made the fol-
lowing announcement: 1.-The church.
yard where interments have recently
taken place now resembles a French
cemetery. Glass shades on graves
are un-English; the custom is Dor
rowed from the continent. The vicar
is therefore obliged, in the best IN
terests of the parish and the church.
yard, to state that he cannot allow the
churchyard to be further disfigured
by the introduction of any more glass
shades, and hopes that the many who
have placed them over their relitives'
graves without full knowledge of
what they were doing will kindly re-
move all glass shades which were
placed in the churchyard without his
consent, and would prefer the people
to remove them of their own free
will.''-N Y. Tribune.

In the first 20 years of the present
century only 100000 Europeans came
to this country, but between 1920 and
1882 more than 100000 migrated to
the Americas. In the last named
year alone the United States received
100000 Immigrants. Since 1882 the
European outpouring to various parts
of the world has been over $4,000, 900
souls. Trustworthy data indicate
that during the century Europe has
been drained of 100000 persons
seeking to better their fortunes in
other lands.

THE BLACK WALNUT.


The great size often reached by this
wood. the unique beauty Of the grair,
sometimes found In burls, knots, feath-
ers, and in the curl of the roots, all
conspire to make this the most choice
and high-priced of all our native
woods says a writer In the Berea
Quarterly.
twenty-five years ago walnut was
extensively used in the manufacture OF
fine furniture and finishings in this
country, but manufacturers adroitly
drew attention to the beauty Of darkly
stained quartered oak, and the use OF
the rarer wood has greatly declined.
But all this time the search for fine
black walnut logs has gone on system
atically, thought quietly, the trade at
tracing little attention, though the
volume Of lumber handled has been
large Though found to some extent in
the Atlantic States from Massachu-
sets southwark, the great source or
supply has been the central portions OF
the Mississippi valley. The walnut Is
at home in the rich alluvial bottom
lands of the Western streams and in
the stony limestone soils Of the hills
and mountains, and in such localities
the buyers have-left few trees unsur-
veyed. Throughout Eastern Kansas
Missouri and Arkansas, as well as the
States along the Ohio and its tribu-
taries, may be seen n few logs at this
little station. 4 car or two at that. with
carefully hewn sides and painted ends,
ready for the market.
If you ask where the market is you
will find that the great bulk Of this
rare lumbef goes to Europe.
While we have been led into an en-
thusiastic admiration for fine oak,
stained according to the degree Of an
tiqui;y it is supposed to represent, OUR
European cousins have been paying
fancy prices for the rich black walnut
that we have allowed to go .out OF
fashion"
