Even Though the Pass Was Stamped OF

1t is a difficult job to suppress the

CAUSE OF THE BOXERS" RAIDS
and Belgian Engineers Said to

Houses, SEEKING Supplies, and Impress

In regard to the causes for the for
nation of the Chinese society known
as Boxers W. Il. Curtis. a well in
formed correspondent of the Chicago
Record. says:
Il realize that II is a very unpopu
lar position, but nevertheless there are
TWO sides to the story of the Boxers
in China. You will notice by the dis
patches that there are railroad riots in
the Shantung province, and the Bel
gian and German railway engineers
have been assaulted and are afraid of
assassination. and that work has been
suspended on certain portions of the
line now under construction. 1 have
alluded to this matter before, and
while no one can justify assassination
Or approve the cowardly methods
which the Boxers" hav adopted to
revenge themselves upon the foreign
devils" that have invaded their coun-
try. they can mt least plead e%xtraordin-
ary provocation. for the Germans and
the Belgians who are constructing rail
roads in the Shantung province have
treated the natives in Il most abomin-
able manner and have provoked the
riots of which they now complain.
That portion of China is one of the
most densely populated sections of the
eurtH' anu tne people nave II desperate
struggle for existence. Every inch of
ground is cultivated; every straw and
every sprig of vegetation is utilized in
some way for the support of life. The
country is divided into little farms.
which are cultivated almost with II mi

necessary for the subsistence of some
family, and the dead are buried in the
gravel hills, where nothing can grow.
Through his country and under
these conditions railways are being
constructed by German and Belgian
engineers, who show a most brutal in

With two ~bloodhounds close at their
heels. Albert White and John Ward of
Nansemond county, Virginia, ran n ten
mile race that they will never forget.
Started as a sport, the chase came neal
ending in n double tragedy. and only
the agility of the we men saved them
from being mangled or killed.
The man hunt was arranged under
the direction of Sheriff Baker of Nan
semond and Sheriff Williams of South
ampton county, and was for he ur-
pose of testing the ability of W blood
hounds. Being far ahead of the dogs,
the men stopped to rest, when the ami
mals came upon them. They managed
to climb into some saplings, which
threatened to bend beneath their
weight and permit the hungry dogs to
seize them. They were rescued just in
time by the owner of the animals.

Dawson and Other Towns WIN Soon BE
Connected.

Telegraph work is being pushed ac-
lively in Alaska, which will soon have
communication with the world at large
through its telegraphs, and with Skag-
way early next spring. 1t Is proposed
to S the Edison phonoplex system,
laying n cable from Juneau to Skag-
way, a distance of 100 miles, over
which the phonoplex will work salts
factorily. An appropriation Of $780,
600 has also been made by the Cana
dian government for the purpose OF
stringing a wire from Quesnelle. on
the Fraser river. 200 miles north of
Ashcroft, Il. c., to Atlin. Cords of
wood are now piled up at the place
and two gangs are soon to be put to
work from one end of each section.
When they meet and join wires, which
may be in the fall. Skagway, Juneau
and Dawson will cease to be isolated.
and be practically as close to New
York and London as Tacoma and San
Francisco. The most Interesting fact
of the new installation is that it likely
will use several hundreds of miles of
the old telegraph trail and survey,
which was Jay Gould's Western Union
scheme to put an overland wire
through Siberia to st. Petersburg and
Europe. Most of the old telegraphers
remember that this road was brought
to n sudden stop by the receipt of the
news in his country that Cyrus Field
had completed n cable across the At

NATIONAL STEEL

Company to Manufacture Steel Rails
at Youngstown-Advance in Black
Tube Announced.
The western steel rail makers will
soon have a competitor. The National
stee: Company will be ready to roll
standard steel rails at its Youngstown
plant on April /. It has been known for
some time that this concern was max
ing many improvements and additions
10 the works at Youngstown, but 1t is
iust announced that 1t intends to enter
the steel rail market on a large scale.
Rail equipments have been added to
the plant during the past few months,
says the Pittsburgh chronicle-Tele-
graph. The present output Of the mill
IS steel blllets and sheet bars. The ca
pacity is 1900 tons a day. An additional
blowing engine has Just been added to
the converting department, and. with
the use Of the hot metal from the two
new blast furnaces which are about
completed, the Youngstown works Of
the National Steel Company will be
able to turn out about 200 tons Of steel
daily. This will be a somewhat larger
output than that at the Duquesne plant
of the Carnegie Steel Company. Ltd.
The output Of steel rails, tits estimated
Will be about 1000 tons a day, little
more than one-half of the daily output
at the Edgar Thomson works.
With the National Steel Company as
makers of rails, there will be four
great rail mills in the west The others
are the works of the Carnegie Steel
Co., Ltd, at Braddock; the Federal
Steel Co., at Chicago. and the Colorado
Iron and Steel Co.. at Pueblo. Col. The
rail mills in the east are the Cambria
Iron and Steel Co.. at Scranton Pa
and the Bethlehem Steel Co., at South
Bethlehem. Pa.
All Of the rail-mallng concerns have
orders for months ahead. The Carnegie
Steel Co., Ltd, It is said. has orders
that win keep It's plant at Braddock
busy until october /. The leading rail-
roads Of the country have contracted
for their requirements for the year.
These orders were placed early to get
the advantage Of a lower rate than has
been fixed by the rail- manufacturers
for 1900. This tonnage was contracted
for at SS3 ton. The price for the year
was fixed Mt Ss5, and some orders were
taken Mt that price. In addition to steel
rails the National Steel Company will
continue to roll billets, sheet bars and
tin bars.
