Tuns Predicts Disbandment by July II.
LONDON, July 9.-The foreign con-
suls at Shanghai met on July and
officially announced that the legations
were safe on July 4. The foregoing
statement, read with Consul Warren's
dispatch to the foreign Office from
Shanghai on Saturday, makes it posi-
BILE to believe that the legations will
hold our for a number of days yet.
Having fought to a standstiu the first
outbursts of fanatical fury, it is be-
lievable that something may intervene
to save them. The news after the sim
lister runners Of the last 10 days is
enough upon which to build hopes.
Tien Tsin is still hard pressed. A
Chinese force, numbering from 80, 1000
to 100, 900 men, as estimated by incon-
elusive reconnaissance. floods the coun-
try roundabout Tien Tsin, communica-
ton between that place and Taku is
apparently possible by river only.
Gives a Strange Picture.
The courier mentioned in Consul
Warren 8 dispatch gives strange pic
ture, says The Daily Mails Shanghai
correspondent, of how life jostles death
in Pekin. Business apparently goes on
as usual. The shops and theaters are
open and the streets are full of people.
No imperial troops except those of Gen
eral Tung Fuh Slang took part in the
fighting. The courier even asserts posi-
lively that provisions are being supplied
to the legations, but by whom he does
not say. The Boxers and General Tung
Fun Slang do not get along well to-
gether. The Boxers assert they do all
the fighting and the latter all tho loot
ing and nothing else,
General Kwan Kan Sui, governor of
Shan Tung, a correspondent of The
Daily Mail AYERS, predicts that by July
IA the Boxers will disband and negoti-
atoms will be begun for peace.
Circumstantial rumors Of dark things
to come are in circulation.

An Unique Scheme.

Chief of Police Broder o f st.
J Joseph, Buchanan county, Mo-,
seems to be not only man of
keen wit, but also a man of
action. For several weeks past
the ministers of st. Joseph
have been prosecuting an anti
vice crusade, and incidentally
Chief Broder came in for some
severe vocal castigation for al
legged shortcomings in his ad-
ministration of his Off ;e. In.
stead of rushing into print to
vindicate himself, Chief Bl oder
retired to his private office and
INDUCED in spell of thinking.
He emerged from his privacy
with a great idea concealed in
his Uranium, and on the follow
ing Sunday night at roll call
he issued a special order to his
patrolm en-. Pursuant to orders,
the patrolmen went out into
the highways and byways-
meaning the saloons and wine
rooms-and herded together a
choice collection of loafers,
toughs, prostitutes and thieves.
The collection was divided up.

about the fifth century that the
day of its celebration became
permanently fixed on the 25th of
December. Up to that time it
had been irregularly observed
at various times of the year
in December, in April. and in

January.
Clovis, the first Christian

on Christmas Day, 496.
GILES de Retz, OF France,

the killing OF six wives, from
which the popular nursery story
is derived.
The Pilgrim Fathers. who
condemned all church festivals,
spent their first Christmas in
America working hard all day
long. amid cold and stormy
weather, and commenced the
building of the first house in
Plymouth, 1920.

and each partrolman marched
his share of the roundup to
some convenient church presid-
ed over by minister promin-
ent in the anti-vice crusade.
The gangs were compelled to
sit through the services, and at
the conclusion were turned
loose, with the notice that
every Sunday night, or some
time during Sunday, a similar
roundup would be made and
those caught in the drag forced
to go to church and learn no W
to be GOOD.
The World. Herald is of the
opinion that Chief Broder has
scored d point on the st Joseph
ministers. He forces the vici-
Gus to go to church, and if min.
isterial advice and admonitions
fail to reform, then the fault is
with the ministers, not with
the chief of police. -Omuha
