Washington Discredits Stories indicative
of Discord Among the Powers.
WASHINGTON, July 20. In the absence
Of direct news from China attention
was given mainly to the more or less
speculative stories, emanating from
European capitals, indicative Of discord
among the powers. It is realized that
these little ebullitions of mutual suspi.
cion always characterize allied move
ments and so are to be expected in the
present case It can be stated that, 80
far as official record discloses. there is
absolutely no ground for them. Our
government has fully defined it's inten-
tions in Secretary Hays note of July s,
and the other governments interested
in the Chinese situation have entered
into the spirit of that declaration Of
principles with perfect accord. At least
that is the record, both written and
oral, and Russia, power more than
any other under suspicion in these
stories, has not been backward in as
surfing the state department. Of the coin.
cidence of Secretary Hays declaration
with Russia's purpose in China. It is,
of course, possible that some Of the
powers are swayed by motives that do
not appear in their formal declarations.
Cannot Go Behind Expressions.
The state department., however, can
not go behind their formal expressions
and can now only await results. There
is not the slightest disposition on the
part of our government to follow the
example of certain European powers
and restrict in any measure the liberty
of the Chinese minister here, Mr. WI,
in communicating with the Chinese
viceroys and whatever remains Of the
titular Chinese government. On the
contrary, crediting the minister with
an earnest desire to do everything in
his power to protect foreigners in the
Chinese empire, and confident that he
has no sympathy whatever with the in
surrectionary Boxer element, the state
department regards it as good policy to
facilitate rather than obstruct his COM
munications with the Chinese viceroys.
If there should be a declaration of
war by Russia upon China, based on
what is said to have occurred on the
Siberian border, the technical relations
Of the allied powers towards China
might, it is said here, undergo radical
change.

The Force They Exert and How They
Are Broken Up.
ga log jam is one of the most for
midable problems we have to encoun-
ter in our line Of business said Mis-
sissippi lumberman. Glow they begin
is difficult to explain: A few dozen
logs will become wedged for an instant
in narrow part Of stream and in
less time than it takes me to tell it
hundreds of others will come swooping
down and pack themselves in an intri-
cate, close knit span, reaching from
bank to bank, and almost as solid as
rock. The force they exert is some
thing marvellous. During one jam in
my section saw lot of logs plunge
under the edge Of the blockade, and a
few seconds later they pushed their
way up through the very middle Of
the pack, tossing timbers as big
around as a mans waist into the air
like so many toothpicks. The noise
they made as they drove through the
mass was simply deafening. 1t sound
ed as if the solid earth was being torn
UP by it's foundations. When the logs
passed under the jam, they were evil
IDENTIFY caught in such way as to
still further obstruct the imprisoned
stream and were hurled upward with
all the irresistible energy of millions of
gallons Of rushing water.
''The breaking Of jam is very
ticklish operation and seems to be
largely matter of instinct with old
rivermen. The lines and angles of
strain in such a blockade are so COM
plicated that the best engineer in the
world is apt to go wrong in indicating
the proper point of attack. A veteran
lumberman, on the contrary, will often
take long look at the mass and then
point out the key log. The key log
is the timber on which the strain cen
tiers, and when it is blown out or pried
out, the pack, in almost every instance,
will break up Of itself. / had an old
fellow in my employ a few years ago
who could locate key log nine times
out Of ten. He couldn't read or write,
knew nothing about engineering and
was unable to explain how he arrived
at his conclusions. He said it came
