IN CHINA

IN CHINA
Berlin Aug. 29-Japan's action at Annoy is
followed with intense interest by the German
Government, but there is no reason to suspect
that thus far the Mikado intends permanent
occupation OF Annoy. Nevertheless it is deemed
advisable that Germany also should be strongly
represented at Annoy, in case the situation
should thicken. The German gunboat Tiger.
which with the first German ironclad division
recently arrived at Hong-Kong, has been or
dered to Annoy. The rest of the division will be
held in readiness at Hong Kong
Herr Won Brandt, former Minister Of Germany
to China, who was interviewed to-day regarding
the situation made the following statement:
It is an error to assume that the Chinese
trouble is at end with the relief of the foreign
legations. AS a matter of fact, il has Just be-
gun. because now the divergent interests of the
Powers are asserting themselves. No doubt

coalition Of several Powers II. after the arrival
Of Count Won Wdldersee. she should wish to con-
tinue military action perhaps even single

Regarding the cause that led to the Chinese
text of remarkable report made by the Chief
of the Russo -Asiatic Bank OF Peking June
- last but not heretofore published. The pas
sage Of the greatest interest is the following:
A majority of the Peking legations have de-
Cided to demand the creation Of foreign settle
meuts in Pekiug, like those at the treaty har-
bors. Immediately after the arrival in Peking Of
strong detachments. NJ. de Giers (Russian Min
ister) viii endeavor TO reduce this demand 10
the appointment Of foreign police commissioners
under command OF the legations. Several Of the
legations desire a special regency over the En-
peror and the removal Of the Empress Dowager
from power; but M de Giers insists upon re-
tanning the powers Of the Empress Dowager
since the above arraI cement would induce

The following from the Benson
Monitor may serve to elucidate OF
furthur mystify the story of a certain
young Nimrod of this county. The
Monitor says:-"We understand that
young man in an adjoining county
asked stranger to go out hunting
one day last week, telling him that
chickens were plentiful. Of course
the stranger accepted and would
drive. Luck seemed to run the
sportsman's way and he succeeded in
bagging goodly number of chickens
and was intending to have a grand
feast when they reached home: But
when the desired destination was
reached, the willy stranger informed
the young man, that he was game
warden and that SIS each for his chick
ems would be about right. There's a
moral 10 this, do you see it.
