A WARSHIP FOR CHINA.
admiral Watson Ordered to De-
spatch Vessel 10 Talsu Fort.


Information received at the State De-
partment from Minister CoEger at Pekin
that the anti-fordgn organization known
as the Boxers" was making threatening
demonstrations against American mission
aries and other foreigners, resulted yes
terdsy in orders. eabled by Secretary Long
to Rear Admiral Watson at Manila. to
send a warship to Taku Fort, near Tein-
tsin. where disturbances are expected
The selection OF the vessel for this ser
vice was LETT to Admiral Watson's discre-
ton
It was said at the State Department that
the Navy Department was not asked TO
send a waTship to China on account OF
the statements made in a telegram 10 the
Department by the American Association
Of Shanghai that the open door poicy
was in jeopardy through the hatred or the
Empress Dowager for the reform or pro-
civilization element. but because or OH
cial reports from Minister CoHger about
the attitude of the boxers At the Navy
Department the explanation was made
that Admiral Watson was instructed TO
send .he warship to protect American mis-
slonary interests.
Officials say they do not understand how
the open door policy which is dictated by
the European powers, Japan, and the
United States and not by the Empress
Dowager. can be affected by the o2positlo ]
of the Dowager to the reform movement.
but they admit that the Boxers may
make it troublesome for the foreigners in
the Russian, German. and French spheres
of influence in China.
Taku Fort is at the mouth of the Taku
River, on which Pekin is situated. Large
vessels cannot 20 farther up the river than
Tein-tsin, and at this season of the year
the ice in the river may prevent liglt-
draft vessels from ascending it for any dis

THE NEW NAVAL BOARD.
Formal Orders Establishing IL issu-
ed by Secretary Long.


Secretary Longs order creating board
OF officers. with Admiral Dewey at the
head, corresponding to the general staff
of continental navies. the details of which
were printed in The Times yesterday, was
promulgated yesterday afternoon. It's
provisions have created a great deal Of
discussion in naval circles, where it is re-
garded as one of the most important de-
partures ever undertaken by the Navy
Department Many officers say that the
board will exert an all-powerful influence
not only in matters pertaining to prepara-
tions for war. the duties assigned to it,
but in questions of general and specific
naval policy
While there is apparently no objection on
the part Of naval officers to the fact that
the general board is copied after the gen
eral staff in European nayies. there IS
considerable criticism OF the Department s
determination to create such board. This
criticism is the ouJgTowth manly OF the be-
lief that the service Is already sufficiently
provided with ADVISORY bodies. 1t is cTi-
dent that some officers fear that the board
will construe the authority given to I TO
ensure efficient preparation of the fleet in
case Of war and fer the naval defence OF
the coast" to mean that it has the right
to advise the Department as 10 the cha 70
ter Of ships to be, built and the manner n
which they shall be constructed and fitted
out with a view to their use in war, thus
coming in conflict with the branch Cf the
service having these matters in charge.
Another objection pointed out is that
there is no provision in the order which VIII
permit the appointment of stan officer
en- the board. thus making it a line body
exclusively. The order provides that in
addition to the ex efliciO members. the
board shall be composed of three other
officers Of or above the grade Of leuten-
ant commander, or above in any staff corps.

given to determine the relative rank or

Third Avenue Railroad Company this after
noon. The appointment was made through
an order issued by Judge Lacombe, in the
United States Circuit Court. after hearing
parties in interest in the matter of the
Old Colony Trust Company against the
Third Avenue company When the case
was called Judge Laeombe stated that the
chief question to be determined was
whet her or not the condition Of the prop
erty warranted the continuance OF the re-
ceiver Upon that question, he said, he
was ready to hear all those in interest.
Francis Lvnde StetsOl, representing the
creditors protective committee said there
appeared to be no doubt that the receiver
shin should be continued. and be. on behalf
Of creditors holding 5000, 600 Of the .Sl9
O00. .0e0 total Indebtedness Of the company,
asked that Mr.. Grant be made the permu
nent receiver. William D. Guthrie and
Adrian H. Joline representing other inter-
ests. also asked FOR Mr. Grants appoint
ment. Judge LacCmbe. looking toward Ed
ward Lauterbach asked if the relations be-
tween the plaintiff corporation and the de-
fendant corporation we're practically the
same as two weeks ago. Mr.. Lauterbach
said tha, the defendant had no objection to
offer to the appointment of Mr.. Grant.
The court thereupon signed the order
which made Mr. Grant the permanent re-
ceiyer his bond Of S250.000 being con-
tinued Judge Lacombe then asked what
should be- done in reference to the issue Of
receivers certificates. Mr. Stet'on said
that he believed no conclusion had been
reached As yet as to what amount OF re-
ceiver's certificates shodid be issued. lie
took IL for granted that the court would
soon designate a standing master in chan
eery 10 examine and report on all claims,
and when the report was made. Mr.. Stet e
son said some notion would then be oh
tanned as to the amount OF certificates 70

A Missouri editor turns poet to the county candidate. 70, he's a jolly fellow and full of vain conceits, and sees a bosom friend in every man he meets. He asks about your family, your horses and your hogs, and takes a friendly interest in the children and tho dogs, Oh, he's a jolly gentlemen, gamesome as lamb, lithsome as a meadow lark, as happy as a clam. His prospects are the brightest, and his chances they are sure, and he spends his money freely and helps the needy poor.

It is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. An Albany (N. dairyman called at a drug store there for a doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, he left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain s cough remedy, which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist, MT.
