EUROPEAN OPINION Is HOSTILE.

Germany Especially Does Not Favor the
Russo-American Solution.
London. Sept. In the absence of
further news from China the papers
are filed with discussions of the Rus
so-American proposals. which. so far
as may be gathered from the opinions
expressed in the various European
capitals, are calculated TO subject the
unity of the allies to an exceedingly
severe and dangerous test. In Ger
many especially these proposals are so
diametricslly opposed to Emperor Will
iam's policy that they have produced
something like CONSERVATION. As The
Daily News editorially remarks.
Count Won Waldersee was aSsuredly
not sent to assist in restoring the en-
press dowNger.'
1t is recognized on all sides that
Gerlnany's decision is the pivot of the
matter. Emperor William intended by
dispstching Count Won Waldersee to
have the master hand in the Chinese
settlement. Russia has taken the wind
ont of that officers sails and is now
posing as the friend and protector OF
Chin. The morning papers express
the greatest suspicion of the inten-
tons of Russia.
The Times editorial fairly represents
the opinion of all, saying; The ad-
vantages of Russians policy are not
manifest, and it is very doubtful
whether it will recommend itself to
powers like England and Germany
that have large commercial interests i'll
the establishment of Il stable and pro-
greSsive government to replace the re-
dictionary clique which has impeded all
progress and development in China in
recent years. Negotiations with Ii
Hung Chang would be a conformation
of government crimes and the throw
ing away of all the advantages gained
by the occupation of Picking. Much
mischief may already have been done
by the hesitation to enter the forbid
den city. To withdraw from Picking
would be interpreted as proving not
only that the allies are towards. but
that they are hopelesSly divided. 1t
may be that some of the powers Will
withdraw, but that does not imply that
others are bound to leave Picking and
to acquiesce in the restoration of a
government guilty of a gross interna-
tional crime"
The Daily News. which complains
bitterly that the British government
does not communicate a particle of in
formation respecting these important
negOtia tionS. calls Mr.. Adde'S dispatch
very able" and asks what the British
government is doing in the matter. The
Daily Telegraph remarks: The Rus
sian proposals are among the most
extraordinary cOups attempted of re-
cent years. even by Russia. The up
shot will probably be the acceptance
of Ii Hung Chang to negotiate some
Kind of n compromise with the en-
press dowager."
Vienna specials show that the Rus
so-American proposals have caused eX-
IRENE annoyance there. 1t is believed
that Austria-HunGary will follow i'll
Germany's steps, but it is recognized
in both Berlin and Vienna that the
withdrawal of Russia and the United
States from Picking would leave the
other powers little option but to fol-
low.

% 26O more surrendered. most Of

One of them, military officer, after
being brought to the Japanese head
quarters. where he was kindly treated
was sent to the palace to make the
necessary preparations for the parade
of the allied forces through the palace,
to be held on the 2Sth, in commemor-
alton of their successful entry into the
city.
As a large number of court ladies
were found in the palace every precau-
ton was taken to protect them from
insult, and assurances were given
them of the readiness of the Japanese
forces to supply them at any moment
with food and other necessarios.

SUMMER

ITO the mountains our people in in
creasing numbers yearly look for those
days of relaxation and recration neces-
sary to maintain the human machine
in fair working condition. The Ian
guorous sloth Of the seashore proves
very seductive while it lasts, but many
have decided that the annual outing
should provide not only radical change
of air and surroundings, but also such
stimulation Of tagging energies as
will provide Drawn and vigor for the
return of labor. For this they urge
the mountain climb and ramble, the
balsam of the mountain pines, and the
clear, unadulterated mountain air"
In this direction the Shasta Route
now affords a wealth of attractions.
The entire line sof road from Ashland
to Redding is studded with charming
and accessible hotels and camps, where
are cheer and comfort and healing at
reasonable cost, and where you can
hunt, fish, ride, loaf, or play with equal
facility. >" 4

of a brushy marsh for summer and a
square made of a few old fence rails
with some pine brush or corn fodder
thrown over the top for winter.
The hoghouse Of the north may suit
that latitude, but no doubt could be i'm
proved upon for that section, and it
certainly has many objections for the
south, generally the greatest objection
being the cost. There is one point that
is commonly lost sight of in hog grow
ing, and that is that he is an animal to
which the sunshine is just as essential
nor corn can be successfully produced
without plenty of sunshine. In the
north this sunshine in winter will have
to be brought into the pen through
glass;. In this latitude and farther
south, under normal conditions, it is
only necessary to face the pen to the
south, allow the SUMS rays to reach the
back of the pen on the beds and give
good shelter and protection from north
and west winds.
The accompanying view, floor plan
and end elevation give almost a COM
plete idea of the pen in use here which
has met with very general favor. 1t
may be well. however, to enumerate a
few special points in the construction.
First.-It is faced to the south to per-
nit the rays of the sun to shine upon
the beds Of the pigs at the extreme rear
end Of the pen in the winter season
and also to give shade in that portion
in summer.
Second.-Lattice construction be-
tween the pens at the ends and rear
admits Of a free circulation of air in
warm weather.
Third.-The location Of the manure
pit in the center and below the level OF
the sleeping and feeding floors with all
drainage toward it aids in maintaining
a proper sanitary condition.
Fourth.-Ease with which manure
can be removed.
Fifth.-Swinging gates close the pigs
into their beds while the manure is
being loaded.
Sixth.-Swinging fronts to the pens
permit the food to be easily placed in

the trough and evenly distributed so
that the pigs have an equal chance at
feeding time.
Seyenth.-The manure pit Is concret-
ed, which enables the saving Of all liq-
uid excrements, which with
the pig amounts to 81 per cent Of all
the manure value.
Eighth.--Ease Of changing pigs from
pen to pen.
Ninth.-Feed bins are placed in front
of each pen, which facilitates feeding
and enables keeping different feeds for
each pen IL desired.
