1t has been charged that the willy
Chinese who are in power in Pekin have
been anxious to have the ministers
leave Pekin so that they could be killed
outside of the city by an ''uncontrolla-
BILE mob" This is very serious charge
to make, but there Is plausibllity in 1t
when that which has happened is borne
in mind. The ministers themselves,
who are good judges of the situation,
have been unwilling to leave Pekin I'M
der Chinese escort. Minister Conger
has said that such move would be
certain death. The French minister
has sent dispatch to his government
which doesn't tend to improve the rep
utation of the Chinese. He says that
the Chinese government has told the
diplomatic corps that the Powers have
repeatedly demanded the departure of
the ministers from Pekin under escort,
and has begged the ministers to fix a
date. In any case, says Minister
Pichon, Chinese escort should not be
considered.
If the Chinese rulers are not the
treacherous villains that many think
them to be they should hasten to snow
themselves friendly in the way sug-
gested by the United States govern
ment.

STUDYING M1LARI.4.

While many other people are trying
to run away from malaria, two repre-
sentatives of the British government,
DR.. L. Sambon and DR., Low, are now in
Italy studying malaria, and from re-
cent reports seem to have secured most
advantageous facilities for their re-
searches. They have encamped in the
royal hunting preserve of Castel Fusa-
no. which is about two miles distant
from Ostia, and their hut has been
placed on the edge of a swamp which
has been left undrained for the benet1t
of the wild boar, water fowl and other
game which it shelters. Close by there
is a canal with many water and other
plants, and in proximity there is
clump of pine trees. The mosquitoes or
the anopheles variety occur in album
dance, and annoy exceedingly the peas
ants dwelling in the vicinity, who suf-
fer severely from malaria. The locality
is notorious as one Of the most deadly
of the fever stricken centers of the
Roman Campagna, and should furnish
all, the conditions requisite for the pro-
pagation of the disease. Everything
has been got in readiness by the inves-
tigators for the fever season, which will
occur shortly, and in the meantime they
have been collecting and studying the
animal and insect life of the neiShbor-
hood. They have ascartaired that carly
in the season, when the larvae OF the
anopheles are apparently very few, the
adult mosquitoes are collected in great
numbers in the houses, and particular
~ in the stables and COW barns.
