seems a deplonsble state OF affairs. All
viceroys, governors and high military au-
thorities are ordered TO obtain accurate
details, presumably of the ou,rages com
mitted by Chinese, and to make such
seizures and take such action as the cases
warrant in order to stop the disturbances.
Beside the reference to the seizure OF the
Taku forts as one Of the causes OF the
uprising. the significant feature OF the
edict is the underlying expression of tbs
desire OF the imperial government OF
China, not only to protect the foreigners,
but to make reparation for the injuries
they have sustained.
A cablegram was received by Secretary
Long today from Rear Admiral Kempfl
at Taku saying that the Newark was
going to Nasasdki to be locked and
cleaned Although he did not say so,
It is assumed that he is going with her

China via San francisco. The departure
was made conspicuous by the presence OF
General Haywood. the commandlnt of
marines and the full marine band, Major

AN army OF 10000 regular troops is al

The school Mt Sandy Springs was
closed last Saturday. We are sorry to
see this school close 80 early. 1t should
have gone two months longer at the
least: Sandy Springs and Denver
should, i'll our opinion, meet half way
between themselves and establish n
graded school. This, we believe, would
give higher impetus to education in
these communities. With q short term
of only three or four urmonths, the pupils
forget, during the long vacation, all
that they learned during school. We
would be glad to see someone take the
lead in this. matter. We believe that
Sandy Springs will cooperate.
Several of our young people enjoyed
themselves very much at social sing
ing, which was given at Mr.. j. f. Pill
grim's OH last Sunday evening.
Miss Maggie Tribble, the efficient
teacher at Sandy Springs, will leave
