ton and that a recent confidential de-
cree had been sent to the viceroy, the
Pekin and neighboring officials. which
would surely prove effective, suppress
the Boxers and restore order.
Il told them that
The Most Alarming kilograms
were being sent to the newspapers of
Europe and America of the existing
state of anarchy here, and that the
people of the world would be forced
to believe that the government of China
was either abetting these murderous
brigands, or that it was too weak to
suppress or control them, and its good
name and credit must suffer irretriev-
ably in consequence. After reading
me the decree, which was much like
those heretofore published, they asked
if I would not wire my government that
they could and were suppressing the
Boxers
Il replied that at present would not;
that | had been for six months tele-
graphing the issuance of ineffective
DEGREES, but if they would show me the
fact by actual and immediate repres-
sion, which they could If they would,
in three days, would gladly and quick
ly wire it to my government.
They assured me that sufficient
troops had been sent to the disturbed
districts to restore order and afford
protection.
Il again told them that restored or
der would be the only possible proof
l also said that unless the situation
was relieved and the threatening dan
ger from mobs averted, | should be
compelled to ask for a sufficient guard
of American marines to insure the
safety of the legation.
'They said: oh. don't do that. 1t is
unnecessary and again promising en-
ergetic action, the interview closed.
Unless
Some Energetic Action
is taken, the situation will become
fraught with great danger to all for
eigners, not from any intelligent or Or
ganized attacks, but from ignorant and
infamed mob violence. /, however, be-
lieve as l have said in my telegram,
that the government is aroused, itself
alarmed at the situation and will take
more energentic action, but no one can
be certain OF this until this is done.
Since the y. S. S. Wheeling had
left Yaku already, l deemed it prudent
to ask the admiral for the presence OF
another war vessel and responding to
the request, Admiral Kempff with the

Talk About COWbells.

Zone of the comparatively few things that
the hand Of improvement has not touched is
the cowbell, which is made now just as 1t
was hundred or more years ago, and has
now just the same peculiar clanking sound
as ever" said bell manufacturer to Wash.
ington Star writer recently. "Cowbells are
made some of copper, and some of a compo-
sition metal, but most OF them are made of
The cowbell is not cast, it is cut from sheet
of metal which Is folded into shape and riv-
eted The metal cap at the top, through
which the strap Is passed Is riveted into the
bell Cowbels are made OF ten sizes, whose
sounds range through an octave. Sometimes
musical entertainers who play upon bells OF
one sort and another come to us and by
selection among bells of various sizes, find
eight bells that are accurate in scale.
There are only four factories In the United
States in which cowbells are made, and in
each case the cowbell is only an item of pro.
duction among other things. Cowbells are
sold all oyer the country just the same as
ever, but much the greater number is sold In
the south the southwest and the west, where
farms are larger less likely to be under fence
and cattle are more apt to stray, American
cowbells are exported quite largely to the
various countries Of South America and also

there is no reason why our merchants should
press the sale of other brands; they must
rely upon home buyers-home patronage;
then let them stand by our home millers as
they are compelled to ask theil home people
to stand by them, To push the sale OF brands
of flour that are made by distant mills is a
mistaken policy and buyers should aid in

The Game Law.

1t will he lawful to kill partridges, rabbits
and pheasaDts in Frederick county after
November Is next aud until December 10.
This is contrary to what has been commonly
understood since the last session Of the Leg
slature, but it is true according TO state
men, made by States Attorney Worthington.
Several bills amending the game laws of
Frederick county were passed by the General
Assembly at its last session and one of them
intended to prohibit the shooting of par
triGges and pheasants for two years. 1t was
chapter $50 of the Acts of the Gene raj Assem-
bly, OF 1900 and amend Section 40 ofthe game
laws of Frederick county 80 as to read as
follows:
"Section 40 That it shall not be lawful for
any person to shoot, trap, or by any other
means 10 kill, destroy or catch any pheasant
or partridge within the limits of Frederick
county before the 18th day of November in
the year 1909, and that after said 18th day of
November in the year 1909 and In each year
thereafter it shall not be lawful for any per.
con to shoot, trap or by any other means to
kill, destroy or catch any pheasant or par.
fridge within the limits of said county except
between the 18th day Of November and the
Gath day of December, inclusive, in each and
every year"
Chapter 597 of the Acts of the General
Assembly of 1900 amended the same section
so as TO read as follows:
"Section 40. 1t shall be lawful for any per
con to catch, kill and destroy pheasants. par
tridges or rabbits between November 10Th
and December 18th In each and every year
and it shall be unlawful for any person to
catch, kill or destroy any pheasant, partridge
or at any other, under penalty of IS for each
and every pheasant, partridge or rabbit
caught, taken or destroyed"
Both OF these bills were signed by Governor
Smith on April T. 1t has been decided thai
the second annuls the first and sportsnen or
and after November 1s and up to and incu
ding December Is can shoot partridges with
out fear of punishment.
The penalty for Killing partridges, rabbit
at any other time than during the montf
