President Tucker Of Dartmouth, in a
late address said that the newspaper
ought to be studied in college; not
Journalism in the sense in which busi-
ness colleges propose to teach it. but
the actual newspaper itself. Journal
ism has, according to him become such
an immense power for good or bad in
the country that every young man
when he comes out of college should
know which are worthy newspapers
and which ere not.

The legislature of Massachusetts has
determined to make an experiment
with cottage hospitals for the insane.
Many experts have come to the con-
clusion that the true method Of treat
ment Is not the crowding of great num-
bers together. but that Of separation
and occupation. Even sane people
crowded together for a long time,
whether in camp or on shipboard,
often become morbid and unhappy.
Antipathies are generated, and an un-
wholesome atmosphere is created
which is only cleared Of its vapors by
change and occupation. What is bad
Tor sane people is still worse for those
who are Of unsound mind, thinks the
Christian Register.

MILES ON CHINA
American General Regards the Situation
 as Very Serious

New York, Aug. S.-General Miles, in dis cussing the Chinese situation today, said he regarded it as very serious. China" he said, lis bad country for troops to move through. Serious obstacles are to be encountered in forwarding munitions of war and general supplies. I see force of 15,000 Chinese soldiers are reported to be within days marching of Tien Tsin. It is possible that they may strike In behind the relief column and threaten it's line of communca tion. It would be serious mat ter were the column cut off, as there is no supporting force to rush to it's aid."
 He said the United States would be able to get 5000 troops into China within a month. Continuing, General nailes said:
 "I am not surprised at the fight the Chi namen are making. It is well known among those who have followed events that the government has been storing munitions of war and making preparations for the past several years.'

TEXAS DEMOCRACY
Spirited Debate During the Organiza.
 ton of the Convention

Waco, Tex, August 9.-Promptly at 12 vention was, called to order by Executive Chairman c. K. Bell of Fort Worth, in the Auditorium which, with its seating capacity of 5000, was filled to overfiowing.
 In the contest for the temporary chair manship Marshall Hicks of San Antonio was elected and James Hays Quarles of Fort Worth selected as secretary.
 After an address by the temporary chair man and the appointment of the usual committees, the convention adjourned un- til p. m.
 A lively sensation was developed at a late hour last night in the form of a lengthy interview with County Attorney Cullen F. Thomas of McLennon County, in regard to the Waters-Pierce oil Company controversy. Thomas had charge of and conducted the prosecution against the company for violating the antitrust law. MT. Thomas charges were sensational, he having declared that the two Congress- men and other State officials had made overtures to him for a settlement of the proceedings, both legal and criminal, against the company
 A resolution was passed to send the fol- lowing telegram to W. J. Bryan at Indian apolis:
 Resolved, That the Democracy of Tex as, in convention assembled, sends greet ings to William Jennings Bryan and best wishes for the success of his efforts for the preservation of the republic and the liberty and human rights enjoyed there- upder."

Gravest Apprehension

Washington, Aug. S.-The gravest appre- hension is felt here in official circles for the safety of the imprisoned ministers in Pekin. The alleged statement of I.i Hung Chang that it is absolutely impossible for the allies to enter Pekin to escort the min fsters to Tien Tsin adds greatly to the se- riousness of the situation. It clearly im- plies the purpose of the Chinese govern ment to resist the advance movement of the allied forces to the full extent of it's power, coupled with the further implica- tion that further hostile demonstrations on the part of the allies may jeopardlze the lives of the ministers.
 So far as known there is no present pur- post of calling a halt in the allied move ment against Pekin. It is acknowledged that the relief column is not strong enough to maintain in war against the Chinese kingdom for any great length of ..me but heavy endorsements are en route to China Their arrival on the scene may alter

the situation entirely and bring the obsti- nate orientals to their senses
 It is the present situation, however that worries the administration, and there is general chagrin that it is not in position to enforce it's demands and bring the Chi nese authorities to instant terms In the course of the next two months there will be aboit 6,000 American troops on Chinese soil, not counting many thousands more that could be transferred from the Philip pines in case of necessity. The Chinese will be held to a strict accountability for any injury that may be sustained by American interests In the present crisis. What should be done for the immediate relief of the min isters Is the problem now confronting the administration, and is the subject of anx- ious conferences between the officials in this city and telegraphic correspo ldence with the President at Canton and the sec retary of state at Suape. N. H.
 Acting Secretary Adee received a mes sage this morning from Consul Goodnow at Shanghai giving the latest information in his possession relative to the situation in China, including the opera tions of the allied force engaged In the advance on Pekin. It was referred to the Secretary of War and was not made public.
 The following brief dispatch was re- ceived today at the Navy Department from Rear Admiral Remey, commanding the naval forces in Chinese waters:
 "Chee Foo, August 8. Bureau of Navigation, Washington.
 "Taku August s, Chaffee reports Japanese took Peitsang morning 5th Engagement over before Americans arrived. Movement probably continued to Yang Tsun. Inform Secretary of War.
 (Signed) "REMEY."
 This dispatch gives a somewhat different aspect to the battle at Pietsang on the 9th, as 1t indicates that the American detach- ment took no part in that engagement, not having arrived until after the Japanese forces had effected the capture of the city. Admiral Remey confirms General Chaffees statement that Yang Tsung is the next ob- jective point of the relief column on its march to Pekin
