ferred at this time to north China.
The rainy season there is over by the
last of August, and the falls and win
tiers are dry and cold, while frequent
storms of wind sweep the plain and
raise such clouds of sand and dust
that traffic is stopped. These sand
storms have played no unimportant
part in the history of China Both the
ern men and accustomed to them have
reaped great advantage from them,
more than once successfully attacking
the southern Chinese while the storms
were in progress; the singing sand
and gravel of the storms demoralizing
the southernerS utterly.
Winter in North China.
Frost comes about the middle of Oc-
tober, and about the last of November
the steady cold sets in and freezes up
the river, which stays closed until the
last of February or the middle of
March. There are no SHOWS to amount
to anything, a few flurries, perhaps,
which amount to six inches, say in a
whole winter. The mean temperature
for the winter months is not much over
20 degrees. It seldom warns up enough
to thaw, while it frequently drops to
near zero, so the men will need gener-
our supplies of warm clothing and bed
ding.
Most of the troops now going to
north China will doubtless have to
winter there, for it is unlikely that
quiet will be restored before the clos

The ignorance of America as to China
IS probably equal to Chinese ignorance
of America. Many thousand Chinese
have come and stay here. A few hun
bred of our people visit China and they
are often possessed with the habits of
the land where the masculinity Of our
society is not seen, where women are
in their happy subordination to do
nestle existence. where all the meT-
chants are honest and where the antiq-
uity of a settled existence makes the
immortality of man seem almost with
out a beginning.
Missionaries to China often embrace
the dress the menage, and finally the
matrimOny of the Chinese. That life
is eminently soft, patient Acknowledged
and interior. The railway, which made
such immediate changes in America
sixty years ago, has doomed China to a
ferrugination, an civilization, ferment
which naturally exposes the foreigners
there to assault and their native friends
TO massacre.
If the tales are but partly true which
the Saints have written of the APP
pearance of Christianity in Rome its
advent was marked by innovation, sac
rilege to old things, collisions and in
surrections.
Gibbon, whose position as a histor-
ian is stronger than ever, and whose
extraordinary loom of learning has
been ranked among sacred" histories,
shows the imperializing of Christianity
at Rome to have been the cause of it's

that it will be impossible for them to
! leave the country before spring. The
wintering of such forces about Pekin
will be a difficult problem, for there
are no decent camping places about the
city They might be placed on the top
of the city wall. which is fifty or sixty
feet wide and we'll paved, but to keep
the troops in the city would only be to
irritate the people and endanger the
health of the men. In the hills about
ten miles north and about fifteen miles
west of the city, however there are
extensive temples which are used as
summer resorts and stopping places for
pilgrims. and these structures would
make excellent quarters for the troops.
There. too. are magnificent springs,
which would furnish an ample supply
of the best water, and the coal mines
plenty of fuel. A short military road
across the plain would place them in
close touch with the capital
So little interest has been taken in
China by this country that an adequate
map of it is not to be found in the
United States; even the war depart
ment has no map of value, and has
been at a loss to know what provision
to make for our troops that were be-

China's mules are probably the largest

Much of the hostility toward for
eigners that has been displayed in the
present outbreak has been due to the
harshness of the foreigners in dealing
with the Chinese, particularly that of
the Germans in Shan Tung, and unless
great care and consideration is shown
toward the non combatants the ocCu-
patton of Pekin. instead of bringing
quiet will infiame the whole empire.
The Chinese are not savages, nor even
barbarians and while their customs
and manners may seem peculiar to us,
it should be remembered that they
have been in force for many centuries
longer than ours have prevailed. Their
preiudices and superstitions must be
respected and their graves and shrines
kept inviolate Firmness with a due
consideration for their peculiar point
of view will quickly restore peace, but
harshness and injustice will simply
kindle a fire that will light up the
whole world. GUY M. WALKER.

If, however. the opposition was too
strong or the fighting too severe to
make the attempt in boats, then the
forces should have marched to the east
bank of the river, along which a low,
/ but continuous water shed runs; thus
for the whole march they would have
had the river between them and the
Boxers, who were busy tearing up the
railroad.
China's Bad Water.
The relieving force suffered from lack
Of water, and this is one of the great
est dangers to be encountered in cam
paigning in China. The country has
been so thickly populated for so many
centuries that it is one vast graveyard,
and the graves are not made by inter
ment, but by setting the coffin on the
ground and heaping the earth up
around it. Then, too, there is no sys-
TEN of sewerage or drainage, except
into cesspools, which often stand al
most alongside the wells that supply
the various communities. The water,
therefore, is always rocking with the
germs of typhus, typhoid and that fear
full Oriental dysentery that makes liv
ing skeletons out of the strongest men
in few weeks. The Chinese only man
age to escape these epidemics by boil
ing all the water and drinking it hot,
and the troops campaigning in China
must follow this same plan, unpalat-
able though the water may taste when
SO treated or they will lose hundred
by the dread disease mentioned for
every man that is lost in fighting.
Quarantine is unknown in China, and
it is common to see men all broken
out with smallpox lying along the
streets. The Chinese regard smallpox
much as we do chickenpox, as some
thing that everybody must have; in
fact, among them, measles is much
more feared
The troops moving in China at this
season will find the country full of the
finest gardens. and many will doubtless
yield to the temptation to sample the
numerous greens and vegetables, but
let them beware, for the method or fer
the fields and gardens is such
that all green things are poisoned with
the same germs that faint the waters.
AS a rule vegetables and fruits are safe
to eat in China after they have been
cooked.

troops who have been serving in Cuba,

Intervention Folly Ju.tified.

Washington, June 29.-At the state
department it is said that, if it shall
be explained that the Chinese govern
ment sent out the delegations with
guards, not with purpose of ruptur-
ing diplomatic relations, but simply to
insure the safety of the ministers,
which they were unable to guarantee
as long as they remained in Pekin,
then there is still ground for an under
standing.
1t is, however, pointed out that, in
such case, the self-coufessed inability
of the imperial government to main
tain peace and order at the capital
would amount to an admission of its
utter failure as government, and
would leave China in state worse
than that of actual war. In either
event. it now appears to the satisfac-
ton of the officials that there was alb
solute justification for such interyen-
ton as we have offered in China.

THE 1904 CELEBRATION.
An offered Bonus of 100000 Secures
Its Location.

Kansas City, June 3o.-A special from
Topeka says: Topeka was selected to-
day as the location for the proposed
exposition to celebrate the semi-ce n
tennial, in 1904, of Kansas becoming
n territory. No other town pressed
its claim for it, And when the
directors of the exposition company
met, the business men of Topeka,
through the president of the CONNER
cial Club, offered to give bonus of
100000 to get the exposition, and to
furnish site. No other town made
any offer and the Topeka proposition
was accepted. The bonus will be
raised by a bond issue.
The directors elected permanent
officers of the exposition company as
follows:

railroad, running from the Bank OF
England to the western suburbs, be-

handsome American cars, similar to
those in use on the New York elevated
railroads, and the elaborate elevator
service from the streets to the station
platforms, eighty feet under ground.

ANENI admiral kEMPFf.
Is Relieved by Admiral Remey And
Sent to Nagasaki.
HIS DISPATCHES WORTHLESS.

Washington, July 2.-Admiral Remey
relieves Admiral Kempff who is sent to
Nagasal or Che Foo. official dissat-
isfaction with Admiral Kempff has
been displayed frankly by all the
authorities here.
The necessity for Admiral Kempff's
speedy detachment, it is said at the
navy department, has been apparent
ever since it was learned that Flag
Captain McCalla had gone to the front
with Vice Admiral Seymour's column,
for it was well known to officials that
without McCalla's constant advice the
American senior naval officer could not
be depended upon to meet grave
emergencies involving discretion of
high order. Kempff has always been
regarded as one of the finest sailormen
in the service, and as good fighter as
ever commanded ship, but he was
never proficient in diplomatic matters
and was declared to be unsuited to
represent the United States at n great
gathering of the naval powers on the
important duty that he's fallen to any
officer since the war with Spain.
Kempff was No. IL on the list, and
would presumably decline an appoint
ment that three of his juniors had
Just refused, but he astonished the
department by accepting with alarcity
and offering to sail the next day. The
department had to make the best OF
the matter and therefore put Captain
McCalla, one of the most brilliant men
in the navy, in command of Kempff's
flagship to equalize any deficiency that
might develop. Until McCalla left his
post to march to the relief of the lega-
tions all was plain sailing, but since
that time evaporation in Washington
over Kempff's reports has been steadily
growing, each new dispatch making
it more acute.
The failure to participate with the
other admirals in taking the Taku
forts will require clear explanation
from Admiral Kempff as soon as the
present crisis permits court of in
quiry. Not one of the dispatches sent
by the admiral in the last two weeks
is clear in essentials. Superfuous
words are common and-in several in.
stances single words have been omitted
which would have been of great value
to the government
The navy department has received
news of the arrival at Singapore OF the
Ataka with 5000 tons of coal aboard
She is on the way from Norfolk te
Manila, and put in to Singapore fol-
orders. She will probably be diverted
to Taku, carrying her cargo directly
to Admiral Remey.
