NEW YORK CHINESE.
Himself by Affecting American
Dress and IdIOms.

New York, July 15.-The Chinese of
this city are distressed for their safe
~ at the developments in their coun-
try. There has been no demonstra-
ton against the celestials except a
few infantile shows of hostilities by
juveniles on Mott street. The extent
to which the Mongolians go in at
tempting to shield themselves from
anticipated attack is ridicul0ns in
he extreme. The Chinese are al! a.
fecting American dress and hiohS,
cndeavoring to appear "allce same.
Mclean man." and in their childish
innocence really believe their dis
guise deceives. The women no longer
appear in kimonas or the loose and
wide. fimsy garments, but are seen
IN tailOr-made gowns of wool and in
striped and barred shirt waists OF
lsrcale and calico. Several OF the res
ident Chinese have gone to join the
Boxers. but they are not heralding
their departure from the house tops
for fear Of interecption by the govern
ment or oyer-zealous patriots.

TO PREVENT AN OUTBREAK.
No Masmacre of Chinese Must Occur
I'm the United States-Pr0mpt
and stern Measures.

Washington, July 1.-THE govern
ment here has taken note of the eff
forts made in some quarters to stir
up agitation against the peaceful Chi
nese in the United States. IL feels it
is imperatively necessary to use the
entire resources of the government to
suppress any movement that would
jeopardize their safety. Anything
like massacre of Chinese in the Uni
ted States would wreck the whole
case of the United States government
in the settlement which must come
of this Chinese trouble. Our govern
ment could not demand reparation or
indemnity from China for whatever
happens at Peking or elsewhere in
China if the Chinese government,
through the violence of our people,
were put in position to claim set-off
growing out of violence shown itg
people in the United States. There
fore steps have been taken already ia
have the authorities in localities
where there may be danger of anti
Chinese outbreaks prepare for the
promptest and most stern repressive
measures at the first symptom of
trouble. And it may be stated there
will be no halting in the use of the
Federal troops for such purposes il
they are called for by the state off,
cials. While the state department has
not made public these facts, it has
received most revolving details of a
terrible international tragedy at Pc
king and is proceeding to take action
accordingly. 1t is easy to understand
why this information is not at once
made public, when one remembers the
large colonies of Chinese residents in
the Pacific coast cities and the ancient
grudge which workingmen of that sec
tion have ever borne them.
Advices of very alarming charac-
ter were received Friday and Satur-
day by Secretaries Hay and Root, say-
ing that the anti-Chinese feeling in
San Francisco is so strong that there
are fears of an outbreak against the
Celestials. These advices have come by
mail and wire.

THE fine wheat crop this year,
good many think, is largely due to
sowing wheat after peas; and If that
is so, then 1t is true TO begin to get
in as large an acreage Jf peas as pos
sible. There is a prevailing opinion
that the last of July is as late as
peas should be sowed; but some OF
the best authorities-wheat and pea
farmers-say this is mistake; that
stock peas sown any time In August
will get full growth in time to be
turned under in the fall, ana will al
most insure good wheat crop the
following year. The way to make
money at farming is to study for th'
best way. Wheat in the Columois
market was quoted to-day at d
cents. Closing August, a; sep
tember, 775S.

1T is conceded that the President
has the right. of his own motion, to
SEND troops to China to rescue our
fellow-citizens who are in danger
there. But to send an army to exact
indemnity or take vengeance is dis
tinctly an act of war, and Congress
must be called in session to pass on
1t. But, in these days of Con-
gressional government ''outside the
Constitution" we may expect presi-
Dental government ''outside of Con-

II 1t went Democratic. The New

their pipe dream, that the silver
plank spells ruin, and to realize that
Imperialism will be the dangerous

quaifica ton of electors, as the same was
amended in the year 1896.
The constitution provides that every
male person of the age of twenty -one
(2D years, who has been citizen of the
United States for at least three (S)
months preceding the election, and who
has resided in this state six (6) months
preceding such election shall be entitled
to vote at such election in the election
district of which he shall at the time
have been for thirty 600 days resi-
dent. Prior to the amendment of 1896,
the requirement was that the voter
should have lived in the election district
for ten Q0) days before the election.
Section 81, of the election law of 1893,
providing for a transfer from one cleo
tion district to another. was based on
the old constitutional provision, and
voter might register in a particular cleo
tion district and afterwards, and more
than ten Q0) days before the election
might change his residence to another
election district so that he would be en-
titled to vote in the new district. The
law provided. however, that he should
not register in the new election district
until he had procured a certificate show
Ing that his name had been erased from
the register in the prior district. The
amendment to the constitution adopted
in 1895, providing for a thirty 900 days,
residence In the election district, super
sedes section 81 of the election law Of

POLICE ARE LAUGHED At
H. S. FAIRCHILD INTERRUPTED AT
JACKSON SCHOOL CHARTER
MEETING
THEIR PROTECTION A FARCE
No Respect Is Commanded by the
MiniOns of Mayor Kiefer's
Force as at Present
Constituted.

The charter meeting at the Jackson
school last night was attended by 100 peo-
pie, many young and middle aged of
both sexes being in the audience. The at
tentiGr PAID to the earnest words OF the
speakers i behalf of the prop 'sed new
charter gave evidence of the deep interest
the people are taking in the subject, and
is looked upon by the citizens commit
tee and others, who are making an effort
to arouse the voters to the Importance of
the matter, as the best indication of sue
cess in their undertaking. H. S. Fair
child was introduced by the chairman as
the first speaker, and after q few pre-
liminary remarks explanatory of the
purpose of the meeting, Mr.. Fairchild
said:
The one provision Of the new charter,
relative to the payments that must be
made by corporations seeking franchises
at the hands of the city, is sufficient alone
to secure for it-or should be sufficient
the united support of all voters, irrespec-
tive of political affiliation. But there are
many other provisions of the proposed
new charter which render it desirable,
among which I might mention those for
the sprinkling of the city streets.
1t is not my purpose here to discuss
the old charter or to make direct COM
PARSONS. 1t will be sufficient 70 say OF
it that our city has outgrown it. 1t was
at one time good and 1 believe suf-
hcient charter, but the new one contains
| those additions and alterations that are
deemed needful for the city, and you will
find all of those changes to be wise and
judicious
knowing, as I do, that the question Of
the adoption or rejection of the new char
ter may be to some extent looked upon
with Indifference, 1t is my purpose to
endeaVor to impress upon your minds
that 1t is not matter to be so considered
1t is one of the greatest Importance"
The speaker made reference to the vari-
Gus departments of the city government
telling of their functions and how they
would be benefited by the adoption of the
| new charter.
1T will be of great benefit in all of
these departments" he said There. for
instance, is the school board, which pro
Vides for the future OF our children by
securing to them the method of gaining
an education; then there is the fire de
pdrtment, that protects our property and
the police department. that protects our
! liYes-all of -
The reference to the police department
protecting the lives of the people was too
much for the audience and those on the
rear seats laughed outright. The speak
er was obliged to discontinue his remarks
along that line.
The chairman raped for order and Mr.
fairchild concluded mis- address by urg-
ing all voters to be sure to vote for or
against the charter-for it preferably but
to vote anyhow.
Judge John w Willis was next intro.
Juced by the chairman. He prefaced his
remarks by an adroit compliment to the
ladies present, declaring his belief that
their assistance was greatly needed at
this time in Influencing the men TO vote

provisions in the charter were very care
fully prepared. Instead of basing the
amount 10 be devoted 10 school purposes
upon an uncertain valuation, it estab-
Hshed a per capita appropriation OF $25
per pupil. based upon the average daily
attendance Of the preceding year. Mr.
Tighe thought the crisis in school affairs
greater than people generally appreciated
outside the school unions. The additional
tax levy, held valid by the supreme
court, will not be realized upon until 1902
so the immediate necessity of the situa-
ton was, the speaker thought, impera-
tive Every one should vote for the
charter, and thus relieve the schools In
addition to the per capita OF SIS an appro-
priation of $75,0 600 will be Immediately
made available for the very much needed
new buildings. In the matter of rules,
forms and usages but little change was
made in the Bell charter; in fact, Mr..
Tighe thought It a very conservative doc
ument. merely amplifying the old char
ter, and smoothing out the rough places.
George l.. Wilson explained that the
passage Of the charter would do away
with special sprinkling assessments. AS
the general public shares In the benefits
of sprinkling, the cost will be assessed
In the general tax levy against all the
property in the city. The city will under
the new charter do its own lighting, and,
IN measure, the contract system will
be done away with.
The failure on the part of the Republi-
can convention to renominate Assembly
man Kirke has resulted in an understand
ing between Assemblyman Warner and
Aid. Knauft, who were renomina ted.
The agreement, it is said, Is to the effect
that the insurance business which can
be handled through the council Is to be
divided equally. During the past two
years the business has been cut up, ow-
ing to the fact that the trio could come
to no agreement. The voters however
Will have something to say, and while
the scheme is q good one neither of the
Republican politicians will have chance
to divide up any insurance by reason OF
their official positions after June s.

for the adoption of the new charter
Referring more directly to the chatter he
reviewed the history of charter-mak-
ing and cnarter-granting from the time
Of the Magma charter and said that char
ter rule had always meant he rule OF
the people, the first principle OF represon,
tation government. Continuing, he said:
Il have given the matter careful con.
sideration and while it Is not perfect 1t
is d great Improvement over the present
charter, and should be supported
would vote for 1t for many reasons, one
of which is that 1t conforms to the idea
of self government. In centuries past
kings granted charters, but now the peo-
pie vote on and adopt or reject them at
their will. They may amend 1t or alter
1t to suit themselves. There is no dispute
about the power Of The people under q
charter If the people of other parts of
the state don't like it they cannot Inter
fere with you in a legislature or else
where l believe in the initiative and
referendum and approve of the charter
on that account. Again, 1t provides for
municipal ownership OF public utilities
ana abolishes sprinkling assessments; 1t
provides for the public schools and for
the development of the school system.
The new charter prohibits the common
council from granting franchises without
proper compensation. These rights are
actually given away now and 1t cannot be
done with the new charter. Under 1t
franchises must pay at least per cent
Of their gross earnings and cannot be
given for longer than twenty-five years
Supt. A. j. Smith, of the public schools,
/ spoke in approval of the plan to adopt
! q new charter, particularly because 1t
| made adequate provision for the financial
affairs of the public schools He also ap-
| proved the home rule idea and hoped that
