THE GERMAN COMMANDER.
He Outranks all the Other Oficers
in China.

Count Won Waldersee, field marshal
OF the German army, will rank all the
commanders of the allies In China.
Ihe emperor has decided to send the
famous strategist to the scene OF the
lighting over sea. The other powers
have agreed to accept Waldersee ss
supreme commander.
Iermany's field marshal is asoidter
! OF The lir' "~nitude. He Ia Heteran
" C"o Waio, a.timate successor of
Won Moltke, and was selected by that
promising candidate for militarv hons
ors In the empire. For moro thar
1000 years Waldersee's family haa
been conspicuous in the military af-
fairs OF Prussia. His grandfather wac
the author OF standard work on tIs
regulations in the German army.
There are two editions OF this book.
called THE Big" and "The Little
Waldersee," and into the hands of
every new German recruit was placed
a copy OF the latter. In 1868 half a
dozen Waldersees were officers In the
Prusslan army. A brother of the count
was killed at the battle OF BourRet.
Another brother was commander In
the navy, and other members of tho
family were well known for their ps-
triotism.
While yet captain the count was
honored with position on the staff of
the general OF the army, and he dis.
tlngulshed himself in Berlin, as an
earnest student and a thoroughly oom-
petent and scientific officer.
Few OF the prominent military men
OF Europe are as distinguished In bear
Ing and appearance as the field mar
| shall Tall and commanding as he Ia.
he has little OF the imperious style
which is common to the European off,
Ger, and, oddly enough, he has passed
through all the grades OF the German
army without acquiring that brus-
querle almost inseparable from the
military idea. The count, on the con-
trary, Is suavity personified, but be.
hind all his polish OF manner and an
parent complacency is a force which
those best know how to guage who
have met 1t In opposition to their own
Wills.
1t is not surprising that such O man
should be a brilliant courtier ss we'll
as an illustrious soldier. This was the
impression which Lord Roberta took
with him from Hanover, where he met
Waldersee In the military msneuyers
taere several years ago and was tho
recipient or much admirable hospital
lty from the German officer.
Just before he was raised to his pres
ent high rank Count Waldersee dis
tingulshed himself at the Stettin
maneuvers and 80 outgeneraled the
kaiser himself as to win the unstinted
praise OF bismarck, King Humbert, OF
Italy, and others. The emperor did
not confine his admiration TO words,
but promoted Count Waldersee nj once
to the rank OF field marshal.
The generals wife Ia as much fsv-
orite with the emperor as is the great
soldier himself. She was formerly Miss
Mary Lea, daughter Of wealthy New
York merchant. At 26 she was mar
ried to Prince Won Noer, who, at his
death, left his widow an estate worth
created her princess In her own
right and after two years OF widow
mood she married the dashing Walder-
see. She is said to be even more bril-
liant than her husband as q courtier,
and her influence in German politics is
proverbial.

ALLIES IN PEKIN.
Such Is The Belief without Positive
Proof

The British government believes
the allied forces are now at Pekin but
20 completely trustworthy message,
elther Cillclal or press, has been re-
ceived. As the allies were 10 miles
from Pekin Sunday August II, &C.
cording to the se.ni-ot1icial dispatch
received at Toxic, the military au.
thorities infer that the Chinese troops
defending the capital were not going
to fight again outside its walls.
The situation at Shanghai absorbs
British attention. The Times publishes
dispatch from Shanghai, dated
August 18th, which says:
Admiral Seymour, through the
consul general, has instructions that
the troops which 1t was intended to
land here shall proceed north. This
Will be done August 10Th unless the
order is countermanded In the interval
by the foreign office. The final de.
cision OF the latter ia awaited. The
principal British banks and shipping
firms have telegraphed to Lord Sails
bury that the decision Ito send troops
north) will have disastrous effect
and urging the government to recon
slider the matter. The foreign consuls
are equally alive to the results of such
action on the Chinese and are address
ing an ldentlcal note to their govern
ments with the object OF inducing the
British to land troops"
France has | 100 troops on board the
transport Cochar, which arrived at
Hong Kong yesterday, August 18th,

These troops, the French consul at
Shanghai informed the other consuls
there, would be landed at Shanghai II
the British Dersisted in LANDING troons
at that place.

hal, dated Tuesday, August 18th, re.
presents the United States consul gen.
eral, Mr.. John Goodnow, as Joining

decline to enter into the reasons for
not landing troops at Shanghai, but
the foreign officers are credited with
being unwilling to accept any course not
approved by the other powers. The
foreign office Is expected to make some
explanation later.

NEW RAILROAD PLAN
ENGINE CREWS RUNNING OUT OF
LARAMIE WILL WORK UN-
DER A NEW SYSTEM.
Three Crews Will be Assigned to Every
Two Engines in the Service-The
Older Men Will Suffer a Reduction
in Salary, but the Extra Men Will
Receive an Increase.

Commencing today, the engineers
and firemen on the Fifth and Sixth
districts of the Union Pacific will be
governed by a new system of run-
ming which will make a big difference
in the compensation of the crews.
The new departure is a modification
of the pooling system" in vogue on
many roads throughout the east, and
it is believed that the worst features
of the eastern plan have been avoided,
while all the good and desirable points
have been retained.
Briefly stated, the plan is as follows:
Each engine will be expected to make
a total of $500 miles per month, or $50
miles a day, while each engine crew
will travel 5000 miles per month, or
100 miles per day. To accomplish this,
of course, 1t will be necessary to have
in service half as many more crews rs
locomotives and to avoid the bad con-
sequences of Unfortunately mixing
up the engines and crews, a complica-
ted system has been prepared by Fore
mar Stewart of assigning three crews
to every two engines in the service.
Each of the two regular" crews will
make two trips on their engines, when
the third crew will step in and make
one trip on each of the two engines.
