READY TO FIGHT.
Gen. HO With 10000 Men Will
Resist Advance of Allies.

Berlin, Nov. 21-Count Won Walder-
see cables from Pelxin that he will return
the viceroys visit today.
He has advices from Col. Yorck's corps
showing that the Chinese general, Ho
with 10000 regular troops and much ar
tillery is near Kalgan prepared to re-
sist theoretically a further advance of
the expedition.
Col. Yorck therefore will await rein
forcements before attempting to pro-
coed.
Tien Tsin, Nov. D. via Shanghai, Nov.
21.-There has been considerable firing
recently in the neighborhood of Tien
Tsin and owing to a report that the Ger
man quarter of the city would be at
tackled last night, the German sentries
were doubled, a regiment patrolled the
opposite bank of the river, and the re-
mainder of the German troops were or
dered to hold themselves in readiness
for action at an inStant'S notice.
Nothing happened, however, to show
cause for the alarm though today all
the Chinese servants of the Bengal
LancerS, officers and men, left saying
they had been informed that the boxers
were marching in a large body on Tien
Tsin and Pekin.
Neither General Lorne Campbell of
the British troops, nor Col Moale, of the
Americans, believe there is any truth in
the rumor; but the natives evidently
believe it and many of them are leaving
service of the foreigners.

FOOD ADULTERATION.
Subject of an Address at the MiIwau-
kee Meeting


Milwaukee, Nov. 21-H. C. Adams,
state dairy and food commissioner of
Wisconsin, delivered the principal ad-
dress of the morning session of the sec
ond days meeting of the National AS
ISOLATION of State Dairy and Food de-
partmentS of the United States. Mr.
Adams spoke on necessary national
legislation relative to dairy products,
and said in part:
THE extensive adulteration of foods
in the United States has given rise to
the enactment, in nearly every state of
the union of laws regulating to a. great
er or less extent the manufacture and
sale of food products.
Food authorizations are of sufficient
extent to warrant, not only the inter
vention of state authority but the power
of the national government as well. It
is estimated that 800 million dollars
worth of adulterated foods are sold an
nua.lly in the United States.
"A national pure food law has been
under consideration by congress for sew
eral years. It is urged in opposition to
national law that the regulation of
food adulteration should be left to the
and undisputed right to prohibit or reg
ulate such authorizations through the ex-
ercise Of their police powers.
National legislation however is need
ed because only a portion of the states
nave taken up this matter of food leg
1slatlon to any extent and in others,
where the laws are adequate they are
practically dead letter because of the
failure of state authorities to enforce
them.
The evils of food adulteration cannot

HAS COME TO STAY.
Rural Free Delivery Regarded as q
Permanent Institution.

Washington, Nov. 21.-An enthusiastic
plea for a wide expansion of rural free
delivery Is made in the annual report
of w. NJ. johnson, first assistant post
master general. He says that the extra
ordinary development of this system
during the past twelve months under the
stimulus of appropriations Of $3.50. 900 for
the fiscal year 189e-1900, and 81, $50, 600 for
the fiscal year 1900-1901, is conclusive as
showing that hereafter it must be a per-
manent and expanding feature of the
postal administration The service car
now be extended as swiftly as congress
may direct or as the means permit until
it covers all those portions of the United
States now reached in whole or part by
the more primitive methods of the postal
service.
Commencing July next it is proposed
to include the cost of postal service of
Porto Rico and Hawaii in the regular
appropriation, instead Of paying the
same out of the military appropriation,
as at present
The total cost of the Porto Rican
postal service for the last fiscal year was
a little over $105,000, and the probable
cost OF the postal service for Hawaii
for the next fiscal year is 1904.
An appropriation of $18,000,OOO Is
asked for compensation of postmasters
for the next fiscal year.
Rural free delivery, it is estimated,
will cost ST, lac, 900 for the next fiscal
year, an increase of almost 8 per cent
During the last fiscal year postal money
orders issued amounted to $255, $40, 22S,
an increase of almost $31, 600 600. 1t Is
apparent that if for the next two years
the business OF the money order system
increases in volume correspondingly
with that of the past year, its receipts
will reach 81, 0000 600 per day. They are
now about $685., 600. The net earnings
of the money order system were 81, 240,
642. The department purposes to provide
money order facilities for all localities
where they may prove convenient The
ed 1000. International money order
business is being transacted with forty
foreign countries Recommendation Is
made that the fees for domestic money
orders be reduced to the maximum of 20
cents for an order of $1e0, the minimum
of three cents to remain as at present.
