Many of the sidewalks along North
Main avenue, which were lower than
the recently-laid pave. have been
raised the past few days. This work
Is being hurried on orders from the

walks fixed UP before winter sets in

Domestic Silk Culture.

III 1899 the United States paid over
49,, 100000 for imported raw silk, and
in 1900 over $45.000,000. The secretary
believes that large amount of cheap
and now unemployed labor among the
colored youth in the Southern states
could be made available for domestic
silk culture; and he desires an appro-
priation of $4,000 to set ON foot re-
search regarding th$' production of
silk, to the end that the money now
paid to foreign labor be distributed at
home.

The approaching summer msn0u-
vres Of the French navy will be the
most important that have been held

terranean squadrons will be under

The former squadron comprises six
battleships, two armored cruisers,
five protected cruisers, enc torpedo
boat destroyer and two torpedo boast.
The latter squadron will comprise
six battleships, four coastgu&rd iron.
clads, three armered cruisers, seven
protected cruisers, one torpedo boat
destroyer and four torpedo boats.
There will be independent man@u-
vres of the two squadrons before
they are brought together and before
the feet is disbanded several other
important ships will be added to it.

Paragraphs
from Editorials.

The Chicago Record remarks that
the Chinese regular army is net to
be despiSsd, and says
+" Physically the Chinese soldier
ia by no means to be despised. The
rank and file of the army show an
average stature much greater than
that Of the Japanese, while many
Of the soldiers are big men. They
have strength and endurance. They
are dOcile and sober and can put
up With hardships. At times they
develop a ssrt of animal ferocity
which answer for daring and an in
difference to death which is subs
tttute for intelligent courage"

English War Cores
pOndents.

The death Of Mr.. Stevens was
net the only tragedy among the En-
glish War Correspondents Mr.. e.
F. Knight Of the "Morning Post"
has seen many campaigns since,
when a lad, he fought tOr France in
the war against Germany. He long
served the "Times', and his books
relating his experiences in Central
Asia and Rhodesia are well known.
But almost ct the beginning of the
war a Boer bullet SO shattered his
right arm as to necessitate amputA-
tien, and to inperil eYen his life.
The bitterest part Of it is that the
bullet aSas fred after the enemy had
hOisted flag of truce, and when Mr..
Knight SOas advancing with the SOL
diers tc receive an expected surren-
der. The wound was severe, but
happily the worst is now over; and
his friends declare that nothing would
suit the correspondent better than to
return to the front as soon as pos
sible.
No correspondent has do-e better
service than Mr.. Bennett Burleigh,
the famous Telegraph special. He
is now q veteran, but a veteran who
can leave the younger man hope
lessly behind. Beginning as sol
der, he fought for the Oentederates
in the civil war, and passed through
adventures that would ill many q
vOlume. Three times prisoner, he
obtained his liberty by fsats that
make the stories OF Dumas seem.
tame. War over, he took to jsur-
nalism in Texas, and afterwards
drifted 10 London. He simply does
net understand what fear is, and his
physical powers are enormous. To
spend . day in battle and then ride
sixty miles afterwards, write long
and BRILLIANT dispatch and get it first
through, is to him trife. BE does
not know fatigue; and the harder q
campaign, the more he fourisAes.
He thrives on hArdships as other
msn do on luxury.

anarchy, where by power and respon-
sibility is practically devolved upon
the local provincial authorities. SO
long as they are not in overt collu-
sion with rebellion, and use their
power to protect foreign life and
property, zoe regard them as repre-
senting the Chinese people with
whom we seek to remain in peace
and friendship.
The purpose Of the President is,
as it has been heretofore, to act CON.
currently with the ether powers,
first, in opening up communication
with Pekin, and rescuing the Amer
lean officials, missionaries and ether
Americans who are in danger; Sec
ond, in afording all possible protes-
ton everywhere in China to Amer
lean life and property; third, in
guarding and protecting all legiti-
mate American interests, and,
fourth, in aiding to prevent . spread
Of the disorder to other provinces OF
the empire and recurrence of such
dissasters. II is, Of course, too early
to forecast the means Of attaining
this last result, but the policy of the
government Of the United States il
to seek = solution which may bring
about permanent safety and peace to
China, preserve Chinese territorial
and administrative entity, protect
all rights guaranteed to friendly
powers by treaty and international
law, and safeguard for the world the
principle of equal and impartial
trade with all parts Of the Chinese
empire.

commission Secretary Root recently
appointed to investigate acute in.
fecti GUS diseases in the island have
commenced operations at Quemadss.
whore several cases of yellow fever
have occurred during the last feso
weeks.
The conservative portion of the
local press heartily approves Of the
commission, which will investigate
yellow rever, leprosy, acclimating
tevsr, malaria and, in fact, all in
tectious diseases.
The "Nacion" says:
Our university and high schools
need Thorough Overhauling. The
cobwebs which have accumulated in
centuries and tha indifference and
neglect must be swept away. II
our institutions are to properly do
the work for which they are intended
the sooner the sweeping IS completed
the better for all. Those establish.
