 ships to Taku

London, June 13-The correspondents at Tien Tsin, Shanghai and other treaty ports throw sidelghts on the situation. Accord ing to one dispatch from Tien Tsin, it is understood there that the foreign minister will insist as soon as fresh bayonets arrive at Pekin upon the removal of the anti foreign advisers of the empress dOWager and upon the substitution for them of counselors friendly to western civiliza- ton.
 The English at Shanghai are afraid that Great Britain has been deceived, and that the whole business will have to be gone through again. Russia's aims, they argue, are not known and Russia and France are apparently not working in the same spirit as the other powers. Five thousand Rus sians are ready to land at Taku.
 A telegram from Yokohama dated Tues day evening says that the Japanese govern ment has ordered four more warships to proceed to Taku, and 4,O00 men of all arms are under orders to be in immediate read- ness for embarkation The dispatch says the Japanese government trusts the pow CTS will not misconstrue this action.
 The Japanese press is urging vigorous methods.
 The Shanghai correspondent of the Times, telegraphing Tuesday, says:
 "The Japanese minister is pressing for recognition of a Japanese sphere of in- fuence to include the provinces of Chek- fang Flo Kien and Kiang Si."
 The Hong Kong correspondent of the Times, wiring yesterday, says:
 "rhe admiralty have engaged a trans port to take 900 troops to Tang Ku. The sailing date has not been fixed"
 The only -bit of information which the British war office has made public regard ing the situation since it became import ant was the admission yesterday that the summer residence of the British minister in Pekin, Sir Claude Macdonald, had been burned.
 Considerable contracts for the Chinese have been placed with the Birmingham arms factories, though whether for the Chinese government or for the boxers is not disclosed.
 Insurance rates for Tien Tsin have been raised to five shillings per f100

TO EDUCATE FILIPINOS.
The Commission COnsid ring Plan OF
Sending Promising Young Men
to This Country.

The Philippine commissioners con-
template sending natives of the is
lands to the United States to study.
The first news concerning this impor-
tant new policy was brought by a
letter from Bernard Moses, professor
of history in the University of Califor-
mia and member of the Philippine
commission, in a letter just received
by President Benjamin Ide Wheeler,
of Berkeley. Cal. The letter says in
part:
From observations already made, I
am inclined to think that we shall find
among the young people of the is
lands a large number of eager and
competent students, and I hope some
arrangement may be made by which
from time to time q goodly number
may be sent to the schools of Amer
ica. It may perhaps be found advisa-
BILE to render some Of them assistance
from public funds. It is quite likely
that in this way we can help to bring
the people of these islands to appre-
ciate somewhat the civilization of the
United States and to mark the differ
-ence between America and Spain.''

PERSISTENT CAMERA FIEND.
Takes Snap Shots at Mrs. OeIrtchs an d
Mrs. Vanderbilt Against
Protests.

The neighborhood in front of the
Newport (R. ~ Casino was the scene
Of unusual excitement the other morn
ing during the driving, hour. A cam
era fiend, failing to get a picture of
Mrs Hermann Oelrichs at arespectable
distance, approached to within two
feet of her and took snapshot against
her expressed wishes. She sought the
protection of Officer Mccormick, and
he and Mrs. Oelrichs returned to the
man and gave him a severe talking to.
He, also, much to her disgust, made
snapshot at Mrs: William K. Van
derbilt, Jr., who drew up to the side
walk in her automobile.
An hour later Hermann Oelrichs and
W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., appeared upon
the scene, and, much to their surprise,
found this man still at the Casino en-
trance shooting his camera most au-
daciously at pretty society women.
Vanderbilt dared the man to take his
picture, and Oelrichs scolded him se-
verely. The mans manner, though,
was not apologetic at all. and Oelrichs,
growing more exasperated every min
ute, kicked the camera out of his
hands and smashed it into fragments.
The man cried at the loss of his $35
camera and left the scene vowing he
would sue Oelrichs.

ICE HABIT IN ENGLAND.
Grows as IL Result of the COnsta mt
Demand for the Article by
American Travellers.

The ice habit is making great prog
ress in England, according to Consul
Halstead, due largely to the incessant
clamor for ice in hotels and public
places by thousands of travelling Amer
leans. Not long ago the attendants of
public places where nearly everything
except ice was provided would be in
suited if one complained because ice
could not be had. To-day all frst-class
places have a few small Jumps swim
ming in glass dish and you pick these
out with sugar tongs, and in country
inns, and even in second-class public
houses, they apologize for not having
it. Though few saloons and restau-
rants have refrigerators many private
residences now own them; and there
would be far more general use of ice
if companies were organized to distrib-
ute it from house to house. AS it is one
must secure it almost by favor from
the fish monger.

Plans for Enlarging the Facilities
Of Governors Island.
Intention of War Depar artment to Give
New York Harbor One of the best B
Equipped Military Establish
r. @~ ments in the World

Plans for charging the facilities of
Governors island, in New York har-
Dor, and making it one of the best
equipped military establishments of
the world, as well as a center of the
transport service in this country. are
now under way. The work is under
the direction Of a board comprising G
Maj. Gen. John r. Brooke, commands
ing the department of the east; Col.
Gillespie, of the engineer department.,
and Col. Amos S. Kimball, assistant
quartermaster general These officers
were selected by Secretary of War
Root some time ago to survey the field
and present their recommendation to
the war department.. The first meet
ing was held in Gen. Brooke's office a
day or two ago.
One of the first problems taken up
was that of removing the transport
service depot from South Brooklyn to
the island and making it the central
depot of the country. with vastly in
creased room and facilities and more
convenient of access. One great diff
Guilty confronts the board in the pro-
posed change-that Of securing suf-
icient dockage depth around the is
land to admit the draught of the big
army transports. Some of these trans
ports draw 26 feet of water, and thus
considerable dredging will be neces-
sary.
Here lies the problem, for it is be-
lieved that the island is BEDROCK and
to remove it would be task of enor-
nous proportions. AS a preliminary
to any further progress in this direc-
tion the board sent out a sounding
party, and until the result is learned
nothing more will be done in this di-
rectiOn.
Among other improvements in view
is the erection of an immense supply
depot, central agency for the army
posts and camps in all parts of the
world. The scheme is merely tenta-
tive now and has not reached the
stage where plans can be drawn to
embody the boards ideas. Should the
board decide to erect other buildings
there will be no lack of room.
The board is also considering either
the enlargement of the present bar
racks or the erection of new quarters.
The quarters will easily accommodate
a battalion of soldiers, and it is
thought advisable to increase these fa-
cilities. But, with sufficient room for
a battalion of men, the officers quar-
ters are now inadequate. There are
good reasons for believing that the
boards report will include a recon-
mendation for some additional houses
and other necessary buildings.

CITY SUMlIER HON b.
Society Woman Of Boston Throws
Open Her House to Workers.
while she IsSat the Seaside she Pro-
yides = DeltEhtful Home for
Her Less Fortunate
Sisters. 5s}s E

BY the kind dness of Mrs. Mary Kehew.
prominent in philanth hropic work, six
young women of Boston are having a
luxurious home during the hot sum-
mer months. She has thrown open to
them her beautiful, home at No. 317t
Beacon street, while she spends her lei
sure at Swampscott. One idea of Mrs.
KeheW in doing this is to induce other
persons TO open their city homes, usu
ally shut for the summer, to working
girls compelled to live in the city.
Is The six girls to take advantage of
this unusual act of kindness are Miss
Ellen Huntington, an assistant in the
housekeeping school on South Botolph
street, now in the Harvard summer
school; Miss Terrill, who employs her
winters and summers in the same way;
Mrs Emma Mac cFarland, ~stenog-
rapher in downtown office; Miss Mary
Lee, a young woman who earns her live
lihood with needle, and Miss Craw-
ley, an employe in the state house. They
have the full run Of the house. Then
they pay four dollars week, which
pays for all meals, including the
lunches which they take to their work
and for servant to care for the house
and get the meals.
Miss Huntington, who is interested
in scientific housekeeping, takes gen
eral supervision, goes marketing, and
handles the money. Thus far she has
kept her bills easily in hand. This
little family has just completed it's
fifth week. They are to remain there
until September B. and perhaps longer.
The plan will be developed further and
more Systematically another year, it
is hoped, so that the Back Bay may
become summer home for working
girls.

trial When all was made ready, the
balances were adjusted, SO as to give
the ship an ascending direction, the
|Propellers were set in motion, and with
the wind blowing strongly at 26 feet per
second, the cigar-shaped vessel made a
slow, graceful ascent and started on
her cruise through the air For
total distance of ten miles the ship
scared high above the lake, reaching at
one time an elevation of 1 300 feet above
its waters when it suddenly stopped
short, settled, and foated safely on the
water. The cause Of the sudden stop
page in its flight was a slight mishap
to the steering apparatus, butthis hap

sci rested upon the surface of the lake,
without taking any water. -.'.s
The trip consumed about SO minutes
The fastest time made was five miles in
17a minutes. The ship weighs $4,000
pounds, and cost considerably over
100000.
