BIG SUIT BEGUN.

Concord, N. f., July "A. 4.-Streeter,
Walker & Hollis, the we'll known law
firm of this city, acting as counsel
for the Dartmouth college trustees,
has brought suit against the 1nterna-
tional Paper company of New York,
which operates extensively in New
Hampshire, especially in the northern
portion and at Franklin. Property of
the defendant has been attached to
the amount of 1926, 600, which consti-
tutes one of the largest attachments
to be made in this state of recent
years.
1t seems that the company mention
ed cut large quantity of spruce
timber from a place known as the
second college grant, up country, and
that this action was without the per-
mission of the college officials, hence
the action to recover.

Text of the Edict.

The edict is as follows:
IAN imperial edict, issued on the 1st
day of the 9th moon, July II. transmitted
by the Viceroy Liu Kun-yih on the 10th
Of July and received by Minister WI on
the 21st day of July at o'clock:
"rhe present conflict between China
and the foreign powers had its origin in
the long standing antagonism between
the people and Christian missions. The
subsequent fall of the Taku forts precip-
itated the meeting of force with force.
The imperial government, having due re
gard to the Importance of international
intercourse. still refused to go so far as to
interrupt the existing relations. We
have already repeatedly issued DEGREES
providing for the protection of the for
eign legations and also commanded the
provincial authorities to protect mission
aries.
"lnasmuch as there is still no cessation
in the employment of force. foreign mer-
chants and subjects residing in China.
who form numerous body in the coun-
try, should be protected without distinc-
tion. F
1--WE hereby command all the Tartar
generals, governors general and govern
ors of provinces to look after the foreign
merchants and missionaries living in the
open ports, prefectures, departments and
districts under their respective inrisdic-
ton, and to afford them due protection in
accordance with the treaty stipulations
without fail.
Last month. we heard, with profound
astonishmcnt and regret. of the killing Of
the chancellor of the Japanese legation,
Mr. Akira and the same fate bcfell the
German minister shortly afterward. The
violent removal of the German minister.
whose residence at the capital was nee
essary to the transaction of business be-
tween the two countries, affected us very
deeply. 1t is the duty of the authorities
concerned to- cause stringent orders for
the speedy arrest and punishment of the
murderers to be carried out.
To Investigate Claims.
'Since the commencement of the attack
on Tien-tsin there are foreign subjects
and missionaries who have, on account
of local disturbances, suffered death or
loss of property through no fault OF their
own. We hereby command the governor
of Peking and the viceroy of Chill to
cause investigations to be made by their
respective subordinates of all such claims
except those arising directly from the
said attnck with a view to their ultimate
settlement.
Moreover, local outlaws and rehellious
subjects have of late given themselves up
to burning, killing and plundering, to the
great disquiet of our loyal subjects. This
is an utter defiance of law. We hereby
oaamand the said governors general,
