Take up Subscription.
The board of directors of the Fra
ternal Tribunes may reconsider its
decision OF a month ago in the case OF
Mrs. Isabella Anderson, of Moline,
who is now i'll with typhoid fever.
Mrs. Anderson holds a claim against
the order for on insurance policy held
by her husband. who died of typhoid
fever in the early part of December
last, and who held a policy for 81, 900
in the order. The last assessment
was paid Dec. /. 1t was due Dec l.
a few days later Mr.. Anderson died.
When the claim for the insurance was
presented the order refused to pay il.
The board of directors has referred
the matter to the legal department.
Attorney III. A. Weld, who is a mem
Der of the board of directors, says
that the claim will be paid out of the
general fund if the order can legally
do 50. If not subscription will be
taken up among the entire mber-

KEEP HOLD OF THE LEVEE.
City Should Guard 1t Against Encroach-
ments or Private Rights of Any Kind.

ments or Private Rights OF ANY Kind.
The CITY council, now that matters
are before it concerning the river
front, should adhere strictly to the
course that has so far characterized
the city's position. No rights ought
to be considered that contemplate pri
vate rights of any kind on the COM
pleted portion of the leyee. As has
been heretofore stated, the Rock ISL
and Il Peoria has already amended it's
proposed ordinance for the improve
ment of the incompleted portion of
the leyee east of Nineteenth street,
strictly specifying that in any rights
allowed the company there shall be no
encrOachment on the finished part of
the leyee. The established precedent
should be maintained in this as
in jail respects. This is true as far
as warehouse privileges are concerned.
Much as NAV be the desire that this
long discussed question be finally dis
posed of-and it should be disposed
of-the city must not concede any
privileges there that will take control
out of it's hands. The city took the
right course in declining 10 yield to
the Diamond 10 company in this re-
spect. holding fast to the principle of
municipal control of that which be-
longs to the city, which had been re-
deemed and preserved at considerable
cost.
If the city. acting upon the petition
of the Merchants association and
seeking to meet the commercial re-
quirements of the city, determines
that accommodations for steam boat 5
are essential to the best interests of
the city, care should be exercised that
the city take into its own hands and
provide whatever it may deem wise.
There must he no deviation from the
rule, that the city must govern abso-
lutaly the new levee and that no pri-
vate rights there be vested beyond the
municipal government.

St. Louis-St. Paul passenger service,
which is to be inaugurated about the
middle of the present month, as here
tOfOre told in THE ARGUS.

These changes would be great ac

and return home on the evening train,
and would likewise be a great bene-

as if the line were owned by local
people.

able to land its troops on Chinese soil
and do it's part towards the protection of
the American interests there The
United States wants no Chinese territory,
but it does want the privilege of selling

CAN'T ATTEND G. A. R. ENC.
Press Of Business May Detain the
President.

Washington, August 23.-Secretary to
the President Cortelyou has just advised
Mr.. William IL. Harper, executive direct
or of the 34th National encampment of
G. A. r., that while the President had
intended leaving Washington tomorrow,
reaching Chicago Saturday afternoon to
participate IN the exercises of the en-
canpInent, the condition of public business
here of Immediate Importance. viii de-
lay his departure from Washington and
may possibly prevent him from visiting
Chicago at this time. If the President
finds that he can leave here so as to be
present at some OF the exercises he viii do
so and Mr.. Harper and others having
them IN charge will be promptly noti-
fed.
An official of the government discus
sing the determination of the President
to postpone his visit to Chicago, says his
action was taken on account OF the Chi
nese situation. It is expected that in
formation may reach the government at
any moment requiring immediate action,
and 1t is the wish OF the President to
give his personal attention to everything
that may develop in China from now un-
til there is a settlement or the existing
conditions.
The President, 1t is said, realizes that
while he is going and coming from Chi
cage and while participating in the cele-
bration at that city, he could not possibly
receive information and give it the atten-
ton which the acute state of affairs in
China demands.
The probable inability of the Presi-
dent to attend the Grand Army encamp-
ment at Chicago is a great disappoint-
ment to him. For many months past he
has been looking forward with pIeasur
able anticipations to this opportunity to
meet his old friends and army associates
and it is only that his public duties i'm
peratively demand his presence in Wash
ington at this critical time, that he has
decided to cancel his Chicago engage
ment.
Nevertheless he has strong hopes that
the tension in Chinese affairs may relax
within the next two or three days suffi-
GENTLY to warrant his leaving the city for
a short time The President fully realizes
that another crisis is rapidly approaching
in China and that momentous questions
which may involve the life or death of
the empire may at any time be presented
for solution.
