 Pekin, Dec 5.-At the recent meeting of the foreign envoys. when it was agreed to modify in a measure the for mer demands upon the subject of the punishment of the Chinese responsible for the outrages against foreigners, a demand was made that those primar- fly responsible should be punished.

ROCKVILLE PEOPLE INDICTMENT.
Alleged Increasing Inefhciency of
Electric Light and Water Plants.


Electric Light and Water Plants.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, August 10, 1900.
Patrons of the local electric and water
works. who comprise very large percent
age of the citizens of Rockville are grow
ing more and more indignant over the glar-
ing inefficency which marks the manage
ment of these two most important munich
pal necessities. For three weeks past, until
last night, the electric light plant, which is
conducted In connection with the water
works, has been imperative, and merchants
and householders alike, who are consumers
of the current. and who are required to
pay for II whether 1t is available or not,
have been compelled to depend on coal oil
and candles for iluminative purposes The
moon has afforded light recently for outdoor
movements at night. lessening in some de-
gree the danger from collisions between
teams, which is always great otherwise
when the electric lights are out. as there is
no other means of lighting the streets, and
the large trees which line the streets make
them almost tunnel like.
1t is understood the electric plant was dis
abled because the belt of the engine drv-
ing wheel broke, and that it was necessary
to send distance to have it replaced. An
experienced person who saw the break de-
clared the belt could have been spliced in
hour SO by any of the Washington me-
chanics who are engaged in such lines of
This morning the residents in the upper
part of the town, which is the most eligible
part of Rockville, found for the third
fourth time In the past week two that
there was no water in their pipes. A few
mornings ago there was alarm of fire at
the Baltimore and Ohio depot here and it
was found there was no water. Fortunate
ly the fire was easily eXtinguished, but had
it been of serious proportions there would
have been no adequate means of fighting it,
Like the electric light patrons, the wa
ter consumers are required to pay their bills
whether they receive the fluid or not The
wells here are not very abundant in their
contents, especially at this dry season. and
consequently the lack of water is seriously
felt.
Mr. Meyer Cohen of Washington. who,
with his family, is occupying Mr. Robert
Bradleys residence here for the summer
season, said to your correspondent this
morning that he feared he would have to
remove his wife and little ones to the city
hot as it is, If such conditions continued.
Water is as necessary for my children as
air. said Mr.. Cohen, land if they cannot
get it out here. charming as 1t otherwise is
we must take them where they can get it.
The town certainly owes it to itself to rem
edy such evils and prevent their repetition"

knows. Is no protection at all. In SUBJ
stance. therefore, we propose to cut loose
from the Asiatic islands and to return TO
the time-honored traditions and policies of
the United States of America"
BY the eXpansonist the platform is un-
derstood to say:
Our first proposal is that there shall be a
stable government in the Philippines. IN
til that is established We do not propose in
dependence for the Filipinos and abandon
| ment of the Islands. In fact We do not pro-
pose abandonment at all. For if, after a
century or SO, stable self-government is es-
tablished among the barbarous Igorrotes
the refractory Tagalogs, and the blood
thirsty Mahometan Moros the independence
| to be granted them is to be modified nv our
protectorate, which will take care of every
substantial American interest"
The latter doctrine is preached in more
| than one southern state by the newspapers,
