The statement Of Sheng reported in the
dispatches today that the advance of the
allies pom Pekin will be the signal for
the detention and ultimate killing of the
legationers conveys a hint of the dread
full condition of affairs in the Chinese
capital. Even if the legationers have
survived to the present moment, there is
little doubt of h massacre of all other
white residents and converted natives. In
no way can the facts be revealed save
through the presence of the allied troops
and as the punitive force, 10000 strong,
has already started there can be no turn

THE FoRDYCE-KNoTT CHANGE.

The retirement of President s..
". Fordyce from the Kansas City
Southern, announced exclusively in
the Globe-Democrat yesterday, is
the leading topic of discussion
throughout railroad circles. Col.
Fordyce is one of the most widely
known and most highly respected
railroad officials in the Southwest,
and Eis popular with railroad men
and business men generally. After
forty-three years of active service
he can we'll afford to throw off some
of his cares and responsibilities and
take life somewhat easier. He will
continue to reside in St. Louis, and
look after his numerous private in
terests. In addition, he will con-
tinue to act as president of the Lit
tie Rock, Hot Springs and. Western.
The newly elected president, Mr..
Stuart r. Knott. will assume ac-
tive charge of the Kansas City
Southern on August l. In the
meantime he will go over the prop
erty with General Manager Edison.
When the plans of the Hartman
syndicate shall have been fully con-
summated it will not be surprising
to see Mr.. Knott placed in charge
of the traffic departments of the
Chicago md Alton and the Union
Pacificl in addition to the Kansas
City Southern. There have always
been rumors in New York to the
effect that Mr.. Knott would assume
control of the Chicago and Alton
traffic department. The interests
controlling the three properties are
naturally desirous that one policy
shall dominate the traffic manage
ment of the three systems, and
that one man shall dictate it. Mr.
Knott has a conservative record
and he stands high in the estima-
ton of the security holders of
Southern lines. His best energies
are now to be applied to the con-
duct of traffic in the Southwest -
Globe. Democrat.

The West Side of the city is go.
ing ahead with the letting of con-
tracts for street work on the scat
ter gun policy. We think the best
way to do this work would be to
make an estimate on all the streets
in the confines where the work is to
be done and advertise for bids and
let the work be uniform. The
notes could be made small by indi-
vidual subscribers to suit their own
convenience and not to suit the con-
yenience of the contractor who
takes the job and who wants large
payments on short time. We are
all in favor of street improvements
on the West Side, but many of us
who would contribute to the same
are not financially able to pay $50
or a $l00 down and the balance in
six months. Let the work be
equalized and no one will kick.

refused and they left the service.

Worth, Waco and Galveston for re-
cruits, and we learn that these
places forwarded the requisite num-
Der needed. Thould the girls take
it into their heads to initiate the
