Two mysterious boxes in the British Museum are to be opened this year. One was left in 1884 by MT. Donce, who had been Keeper of Manuscripts, with directions that it be opened this year, and the other contains the papers of John Cam Hobhouse, Byron's friend and three times Cabinet Minister. He died in 1S69 leaving his diaries, core spondence and memoranda to the Mu- scum, with directions not to open them till 1900.

Just a bit of detail.


 The Russian All-oyers arc lovely beyond belief with their big, free, open. graceful designs, and with each design are bands and cdgings to match.
 In the Muslin All-oyers the pat terms are quite as exquisite. You can pay as much or as little as you please. We've arranged for that because we show beauty at 89rts a yard, We show one at $4.98 too so there you are with dozen prices strewn in between.

A decision of interest to photogra- phers is reported from Denver. A pub fishing company was about to put on the market an illustrated book about Colorado. Some of the illustrations troit concern.

A bill has been introduced into tha New York legislature amending the penal code so as to include women's hatpins, of greater length than three inches in the class of dangerous weap- ons, which it is misden1eanor for any person to have in his or her possession. The author of the bill says that the many instances of injuries inflicted by these instruments in the hands of wo- men furnish sufficient excuse for the measure, and states it as his belief that inventive genius will devise some means of keeping womens hats on their heads without their being obliged to use either bowie knives or daggers."

THE GERMANS INVITE
AMERICANS TO VACATE
Asked For All the Buildings and Camp oc-
cupied by United States Troops
Lying in Their Concession

Copyrighted 1900 by the Associated Press.)
Tien Tsin, August 20, via Taku, August
30-The Germans have formally demanded
for themselves all the buildings and
grounds of the camps of the United States
troops, explaining that these will be needed
by the large German forces soon to arrive.
As the American camp lies in the German
concession, the demand will probably be
complied with; and a new camp for the
United States troops will be established
outside the city. Orders received from
Washington direct that the five thousand
troops be divided between Pekin, Tien Tsin
and Taku for the winter. Abundant sup
plies are now arriving and all that is neces-
sary is being rapidly forwarded to Pekin.
1t is understood that United States Min
lister Conger insists that Ii Hung Chang
shall be allowed to proceed to Pekin for a
conference.

NO DEVELOPMENTS
Washington Officials Have Nothing to

Washington, September 2.-So far as can
be ascertained, there were no important de-
velopments in the Chinese situation here
today. The officials maintain unusual reti-
cence. They say they have no information
to make public regarding the replies to
the American-Russia propositions regard
ing the withdrawal of the military forces
OF the powers from Pekin.

'.The relief of Pekin is merely an Incl

work remains to be done. Marquis Ito,
probably the best informed man alive on
Eastern politics, said to me that the pres

A majority of the islanders desire peace
and the resumption of business under the
Americans; but they are so cowed by a
long series of murderous atrocities and
destruction of property by their armed
ceuntrymen that they dare not actively
show their feelings, especially because ex-
perience has taught them what such an
expression of sentiment will bring upon
them from the mercilessly revengeful re

Commissioner ROCKH|LL GIVES
HIS VIEWS ON CHINESE SITUATION
Saws That Crisis Has Been Reached
and Time Has Arrived For
Final Settlement.

Copyright 1900 by the Associated Press.)
Shanghai, September 2.-Wiliam Wood
vile Rockhill, special commissioner of the
United States government to investigate
and report conditions in China, in an
interview with a representative of the As
ISOLATED Press emphasizing the impor-
tance of the harmonious action of the
powers as a measure of selfdefense, said:
IF the Chinese government is able TO
break the concert of nations and to bring
about a disagreement on the part of any
government in such a way as to secure
any relaxat ton of the joint demands, all
the foreigners in China may as we'll PACK
up and leave.
This is the best opportunity to settle for
all time the status of foreigners in China.
If that matter is not settled now the Chi
nese will be encouraged to persist in their
present policy, and the powers will have
the whole trouble to thresh over again
every two or three years. | believe that
all the governments are impressed with
this truth, and I believe most of them re-
alize that a definite and permanent set
tlement of the status of foreigners and the
establishment of freedom of trade are most
important to them now than the acqui-
siton of territory.
This has been a deliberately planned
movement on the part of the Chinese gov
ernment to expel all foreigners. The de-
crees printed in the ImpaHlal Gazette prove
this. The movement has been practically
successful since every foreigner in the in
terror has been compelled to seek safety
in the treaty ports. The Imperial govern
ment merely utilized the Boxers as con-
venient accessories to it's schemes.
