Probable Dissolution

Late news from Washington is to
the effect that the indications all
point nov to the gradual dissolution
of the naval militia as at present
organized. Louisiana and Georgia
are the only states on the Atlantic

favorably to the offer by the Navy

What the
Boxers are.
Encourage blythe Ruling Class

The Chinese "BOxers" or "Righ-
teous Harmony Fists" to give them
their true and picturesque title,
which the slang of the settlements
has abbreviated, are secret political
society. Openly they profess to be
an organization for the cultivation
Of gymnastics, but like the Turn
Verein, which 50 perturbed the re
tregade governments Of Germany in
the days Of the Holy Alliance, they
conduct q secret political movement

Trade with China
hampered.
Merchants inclined to Be
conservative.

The news from New York is to
the effect that although there are no
indications at present in shipping
circles that the trade with China has
fallen off in consequence OF the recent
troubles in that country, trading
houses and shippers alike prophesy
that should existing conditions cont
inue trade will be hampered.
The head of one of the largest
houses engaged in the China trade
said this morning that already mer,
chants were beginning to Ego slow"
''It is pretty safe to predict" he
said, tsthat the result of the present
disturbances will show themselves
later in the shipments made to Chi
ma. The shipments that are being
today are, of course, the result Ofmade
transactions initiated some time ago,
and can furnish no indication of the
present status of the China trade.
1t is matter Of common sense and
prudence for the merchants to prev
ide for more extensive trouble in
China and to slacken exports in
consequence. Even so far as the
ssBoxer" disturbances have gone
their effect must be felt on our
trade.p

The thirty-third annual masquerade

The Indian war dance. which was
given at 10 o'clock, was the most in
teresting feature of the ball. In the
center of the hall was the customary
stake, with q white man attached by
ropes and around it circled the Indians
in their wild dance. The war dance
was given by twelve braves i'm war
