CHICAGO. June 1s.-A special to the
Tribune, from Denver, Colo. says:
Bishop Earl Cranston. who recently
returned from China, declared from
the pulpit today that civilized nations
must rule China. 1T is worth any cost
in money" he said. 1T is worth any
cost in bloodshed, if We can make
the millions of Chinese true and in
telligent Christians.
Il would cut all the red tape in the
world and break all the treaties ever
made, to place the armies of the Unit
ed States in the fore next to Great
Britain.
THE open door must be maiatained
for Christianity as well as commerce. f"

BERLIN, June iS-A semi-ofiicial
dispatch from chee Foo announced
that the Taku forts had been cap
tured after a combined attack by for
elgn warships. Three men on the Ger
man warship Iltis were killed and
seven wounded. The dispatch added
that the foreign settlement at Tien
Tsin was being fired into by the Chi
nese.
When the dispatch left, nothing had
been heard from the German detach-
ment sent to Pekin or from The German
legation there.
The Brussels correspondent Of the
Standard says:
Russia has massed 10000 men, with
seven batteries OF artillery, at Klach-
Ia, with orders TO proceed to Maima-
thin, a Chinees town contiguous TO
Kiaohta, and thence to advance along
the telegraph route to the Mongol town
OF Urga. 200 miles south OF Kiachta and
$50 miles northwest Of Pekin."
The Shanghai correspondent OF the
Times. under yesterdays date, gives
the following description, said to be
from official sources. Of the action at
Taku:
ION the afternoon Of June 16 in
view OF the large bodies OF Chinese
troops assembling at the forts and of
the facts that torpedoes had been laid
in the river, and that all communica-
tions We're interrupted, the naval COM
mandment held council and decided
to send an ultimatum calling for the
disbandment Of the troops and an
nouhcing that II this demand were not
complied with before 2 o. m. on the
following day, the united squadron
would destroy the forts.
Shortly after midnight, the forts
opened fire. British, French, Russian,
German and Japanee warhips replied.
Two of the forts were blown up, and
the rest Were carried by assault
1.-TWO British, one American and five
Chinese warships are in the Chez Foo
harbor."
The morning papers consider that a
state of war practically exists.

NEW YORK. June 1s.--Ameri, can
troops have been ordered from the Phil
ipplnes to China, says a Washington
special to the Herald. Whether the
men will be landed or not win depend
upon the situation when they arrive.
The administration has decided that.
to insure protection Of American life
and property throughout China, order
must be re-established in Pekip. and
the Empress Dowager and the Tsung Ii
Yamen impressed with the necessity Of
acting as the powers wish in the mat
ter Of guarding foreigners and their
interests.
Japan's course in despatching 1000
men TO Taku will be followed. said a
well Informed diplomat last night. by
Russia. which might deem 1t desirable
to send large force. especially since
Great Britain aud Japan combined win
have an overwhelming force in that
section Of China, unless she draws on
her forces at Port Arthur and along
the Siberian frontier. The action of
this government in sending troops to,
Taku with the probability that they
win be landed will also have influnce
upon Russia's moves. as there is al
ways danger that, as British and Jap
anese interests are nearly Identical
with those Of this country. 1t may un-
dertake policy on similar lines. in
inical 10 Russia's supposed interests.
n the foreign legations in Peldn have
been burned. as reported. the success
OF the Boxers has probably been at
fearful cost Reports to the state de-
partment show that on June /. there
We're in Pekin about 400 sailors and ma
rines, Great Britain. Russia and
France had the largest number 70
each. the United States AZ. Japan AZ,
Italy %, and Germany the remainder.
In diplomatic circles it is held that if
the murder of Germany's official rep
resentative has been permitted, prac-
tieally as the result of a movement ap-
proved by the government, China COM
mitted an act Of war against the Ber-
lin government. This is also true Of the
Japanese government, a member of
whose official staff in Pekin was killed.
1t is hoped, however. that neither
Germany nor Japan will take radical
action. but win cooperate with the
powers to restore order.

An exchange has the following
in regard to the hustle coming back
into style: when the daily toll is
over and the sun is going down, you
are ready then to read the news
that is going on in the town. If
you miss the daily paper, here's a
hint, twill make you smile; perhaps
you will find it ON your daughter,
for the bustle'S back in style. When
you wash your face in soapsuds and
you're looking for a towel, while
the soap is getting in your eyes,
you start to swear and howl; wipe
your face upon your sleeve and re-
member all the while, that the
towel is hard to locate since the
bustle's back in style. Now, there
is no use getting angry and it does
40 good to swear. If your Sunday
shirt is missing and you've nothing
clean to wear, try your hardest to
lock pleasant, do your best to wear
smile, and remember when you
miss things, that the bustle's back
in style.

About Spot.

A few weeks back we received a
telegram bulletin from Price Nc
Cormick & Co., big spot and future
dealers in cotton, in which they ad-
viSed those holding spot cotton to
sell as the holding was excessive
and prices were bound to go down.
This did not have much effect on
spots, but future deliveries we're
hammered down to $50 from 1854
the present prevailing price. This
morning we received another tele-
gram which reads:
Don't advise further sales Of
cotton, or cotton remnants of corps
unmarketed as cotton is going t o
command higher prices during the
summer.
The above dispatch we believe, as
the crop is reported short by
million aud half bales, and should
this prove true there is not doubt
but what cotton will bring in the
local market good big price.

Why Not Build the Panama ,Canall

There is one more chimera de-
serving of special attack, and that
is the idea that the Isthmus is re-
markably unhealthy. The great
prepaTatlors made by the old Canal
Company indicate that it was ex-
pected to be so; perhaps the care
taken by that company In the
drainage of the sites chosen for its
buildings and the concentration of
the flow into the large streams.
have rendered the country more
wholesome; certain it is that there
is no more sickness among the very
considerable population now on the
Isthmus than there is among any
other equal number in the tropics.
The railroad and canal employees
now living there are perfectly free
from any unusual diseases.
l may point out that there are
good harbors at each end of the
Panama route which are in daily
use by several lines Of steamships,
and also that these harbOrs are
provided with the usual adjuncts,
such az wharves, warehouses, coal
ing and watering facilities, and
machine shops, where ordinary re.
pairs can be made. Also that the
value to commerce Of any ship-ca
nal will be about inVersely as the
square of its length when com
pared with that of another. Now,
if we are really interested in having
canal between the oceans, here is
one much shorter than any other
possible line, already half built, if
the extent of preparedness is taken
into account; why not take hold and
build it2
1t seems to me that no engineer
can cross the Isthmus without be-
ing convinced, as am, that this is
a perfectly practicable route and
the most desirable one for 4 canal.

Magazine for February.

Paper Famine.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-A serious fam
inc threatens the paper industry of
the United States. Vigorous caus-
es have conspired to lessen the pro-
duct of the mills, while the demand
for print paper and the other ordi
nary grades is unprecedented.
Leading manufacturers held a meet
ing here Friday to consider what
could be done to avert the famine
theatened by the shortage in wood
pulp, which, if it is not relieved,
will cause the vast paper mills OF
the country to shut down and Grip
pie seriously every industry which
depends upon the product of the
mills. Nothing definite was decided
upon.
