an exertion, and cards are a winters
evening. under-the-lamp diversion,
much too hot for summer. This old
game is good one for porches and

man with 3 cheap straw hat, which he
must trim with all kinds of odds and
ends Of trimming, collected for the pur-
pose. The young women must make

the hostess provides. This pin and

are put all sorts OF different liquids. and
in papers folded like powder-papers are
put spices and differe1t chopped and
powdered articles. Every one is pro-
vided with a card and pencil, and in
dicates his guesses of the contents of
the numbered bottles or packages. A
prize goes to the most successful guess

arouses fun. and an amateur auction is
another good entertainment. For the

packages, large and small, wrapped in

Der of beans, and an amateur auctioneer
who must be witty auctions off the
packages. Nothing Is opened until it

PREPARING TO WITHDRAW.
Orders Sent TO Prepare to Remove Troops
From China

From China
Washington, Sept 11-Orders have
been cab1ed to General Chaffee to pre-
pare his forces for withdrawal from
Pekin. Further than that, the war
department has taken steps to have at
Taku a sufficient number of United
States transports to remove these
troops to the Philippines as soon as
they reach the port.
The orders are preparatory and do
not necessarily indicate that our gov
eminent has decided finally upon an
immediate withdrawal from China.
Our government has not changed its
policy in this matter of withdrawing
troops. It has given the subject much
consideration since the original note
was written, bat at all times there
has been kept steadily in mind the
propriety of removing the American
troops from China as soon as this could
be done consistently. 1t is intimated
that the prospect for securing these
objects through completely harmoni-
Gus action by the powers is brighten
ing every day.
1t is hoped that the powers can be
brought to act III harmony in the mat
ter of the evacuation of Pekin, and it
is entirely possible, if this plan is exc
cuted. that all of the American troops,
save small number left to guard the
legation at Pekin, can be withdrawn
from China before winter sets in. 1t
will not be necessary to delay the ne
gotiations until the evacuation is COM
pIeted. Even now our government, for
! one, is in position to begin them in
stantly upon the appearance of a
proper accredited representative of the
Chinese government.
There is the best reason to believe
that were the Chinese government
once assured of the personal safety of
its members; were it relieved of fear
of ACKNOWLEDGMENT, of China and the
menace of a large foreign force in the
capital, the imperial court including
the emperor and empress dowager.
