THE AMERICANS I'm CHINA.
They Have HOnored Themselves and
Their Country by Retaining
From E1cesses.

New York, Oct. 16.-A Pekin CORE
ipondent writes:
The unexampled conduct of the
Americans has given Gen.. Chaffee an
influence at the meetings of generals,
which are held every other day, ahead
of that of any other general. 1t is
not disparaging. Gen. Chaffee's hard
common sense, which, according to
other generals, has helped them solve
SO many knotty problems, nor his per-
sonal dignity, both among the diplo-
mats and generals, but it is unques-
tionable that his influence has been
greatly increased through being the
leader of a body of men who have dis
tinguished themselves not only in the
face of the enemy, but equally SO as
against the temptations that exist in
q city like Pekin under existing con-
ditions.
1t is said among foreign officers
that the workings of the adiutant
generals office of the Americans is
much quicker and much more salts
factory than that of any other ma
ton, and probably the best known
and liked officer of the American Off
GERS among foreign officials, with the
exception of Gen. Chaffee, is his adj
Jutant general, Capt. Hutchinson, of
the Sixth cavalry.

Important to All Voters.

OF the seven proposed amendments
to the constitution of the state of
Missouri to be voted upon at the No
vember election, those numbered /
and 5 are attracting most attention.
Number 4 authorizes the city of ST.
Louis to issue $1,000, 900 in bonds in
aid of the Worlds Fair of 1908, and
No. 5 authorizes the legislature to APP
~propriate a sum not exceeding $1,000,-
900 out of the sinking fund for a state
exhibit at the same exposition. Both
political parties have Endorsed the
amendments, M the entire state is
interested in their passage. Neither
amendment will increase taxation.
and their passage will insure the hold
ing of the Louisiana Purchase Cen
tennial exposition in 1903. This expo
sition will be on ever Il larger scale
than that of Chicago, in 1898, and will
attract to the state hundreds of thou
sands of people and millions of cap
ita1. A successful exposition of the
magnitude determined upon will bene-
fit every county and township in Mis-
souri,, and those who appreciate this
will be careful on election day to
erase the word mo" after both the
fourth and fifth amendments on the
ballot.

Wake of the Strike.

Wake of the Strike.
New York, Oct. 16.-A special to the
Herald from HazIeton, Pa, says:
Want and ruin have followed in the
wake of the strike in the anthracite
region. Families who lived in comfort
while the mines were in operation
now feel the pinch of ~privation, and
the bare necessities of existence seem
like IuXuries; business men, upon
whom prosperity had smiled, have
been brought to the verge of bank
ruptcy: thriving towns have become
~stagnant, casual travellers have for
saken them, and newspaper CORE
spondents and labor leaders consti-
tute the most important element in
the floating population.
~nce Orders
Merchants who had large orders
outstanding when the strike began
promptly Cancelled them, refusing to
make purchases until the trouble end
ed. Commercial travellers, usually
the best patrons of the hotels, changed
their routes, as they could sell moth
ing in the coal regions. The theaters
have been unable to attrct audiences.
and many of the best attractions that
had been booked cancelled their
dates. to the further detriment of the
hotel keepers.
Coal Train Crews Laid ON.
AS there was little coal to be
hauled, the coal railroads had to lay
off the crews of most of their coal
trains. There are actually in the
enormous yards at Mauch Chunk
several hundred coal cars which. I'M
der normal conditions, should be
scattered on railroads from h At
lantic to the Pacific.
