THE ULTIMATUM
OF THE POWERS

Washington, Dec. 1O-I,he next i'm
portant step in the Chinese situation
will be the formal presentation to the
Chinese plenipotentiaries of the agree
ment arrived at between the repre-
Sentatives Of the powers at Pekin for
reparation of the boxer outrages. In
just what manner this will be done
Mr.. Conger has not informed the State
Department, although the probability
ID that the document will be handed
to the Chinese by the dean of the dip
lomatic corps. As has been stated the
telegram II simply a statement of the
terms upon which the powers will ne
gOt1ate with China for final settlement
and II laid before the Chinese officials
- . matter Of form.
The negotiations for nnal settlement
win come later after the Chinese have
been given reasonable opportunity
for the consideration of the conditions
laid down by the powers. The COM
plete agreement deciphered from the
code 10 now In the hands Of the Pres
ident. Officials decline to make its
text public in advance Of the receipt
of Information that 1t had been form
ally accepted by the powers, although
the advices which have heretofore
come from Mr.. Conger leave no doubt
that this will be the case. The essen
tlal features of the agreement already
have been outlined In the press dis
patches.

The Canadian government surveyor
who was commissioned by the gov
eminent to locate the stakes defining
the boundary line in the Mount Baker
district for 100 miles from sumas,
Washington, toward the coast, and
thus settle all disputes, makes the re-
markable statement to the govern
ment that he could find no stakes any
where to denote that survey of the
boundary was ever made. This bears
sut the stories told by old-timers in
the Yale district to the effect that
when the joint International survey
committee was sent to define the bound
ary 1t was appalled, at the high noun
tains, deep cliffs and dense forests
fringing the 4sth parallel and agreed
70 report the survey as having been
made without actually making 1t.

covering 86,S42 square miles, divided
among forty-four states and territor-
les, and serving population Of 1,SO1,-
h24. The number Of applications pend
Ing at that date and awaiting action
or under investigation was more. than
2,1OO-nearly enough to double the ex-
listing rervice-end every day brings
more. The close Of the present fiscal
year will see about 1900 routes in op-
Grafton, carrying the mail daily to the
doors Of not less than 3,5OO.OOO resi-
dents of the rural districts.
'It thus appears that rural free de-
livery can be extended practically over
the whole country at on annual cost of
less than $14.O0O,OOO. AS the appro-
priatton for the current fiscal year for
this purpose Is $1,750,O0O, an addition
81 outlay Of $12.OOO,OOO unless unfor-
seen demands should come, would sub
stantia1ly take the mail every day to
every door In the land.
1t II recommended that the appro-
prfatjon for rural free delivery for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 1901, be
net less than $3,5OO,OOO."
The following recommendations for
legislation by Congress are made:
That an act be passed to punish per-
sons who by force attempt to enter a
car or apartment In car used for the
distribution Of mail, or who may as
sault . railway mail clerk while In the
discharge of his duties MS such.
That a statute be enacted providing
for the compulsory separation by pub
fishers of second-class mail matter.
While the majority of the publishers
have shown willingness to undertake
n t. rIr uk AZ.
Ofhcer in charge of 1t, a few are UNI
willing to cooperate with the govern.
ment in this matter, which saves ex-
pense to the department and facilitates
dispatch Of mail.
That the interstate commerce law be
amended TO prohibit common carriers.
to-wit, telegraph and express compan.
les, or AIRY Of their employees, from aid
ing or abetting In the green goods or
lottery swindles, or any other scheme
carried on partly by mail and partly by
common carrier, and which IL in viO-
lation of the postal laws.
That a statute be enacted autboriz-
ing pOstOffice inspectors to take out
search warrants whenever the same
may be necessary In the prosecution of
their official duties.
That an appropriation he made for
the purpose Of constructing loOkOuts
in postoffices wherever In the opinion
of the postmaster general, they may be
needed.
That provision be made for the pay
ment of incidental expenses incurred
by local officers or others In the arrest.
detention and keeping of prisoners
charged with violations of the postal
laws until such prisoners can be trans
ferred to the custody Of United States
marshal.

II these make Il favorable report The
question of getting negro labor from

position to importing negroes In some

clares that IL negroes are brought here
It means the end of the Hawaiian race.

Hawaii Inns celebrated for the last
time, probably, the day known to Ha-
waiian history as Independence Day.
1t is the 2sth OF November, on which
date twenty-seven years ago, England
and France entered into mutual trea-
ty recognizing the Hawaiian nation
and agreeing to respect 1t as independ-
ent. This followed after the cession
of the islands to Great Britain, upon
demand made by Lord George Paulet
and the subsequent restoration Of the
monarchy by Admiral Thomas. When
the Legislature meets 1t will probably
abolish the holiday.

regimental physician

A regimental physician in the
French army has investigated the eff
feet upon soldiers of regular marching
in disciplined bodies. The uniformity
Of the soldiers step causes the indef-
mite repetition Of shock of the brain
and bones, and consequently the mode
OF motion Is far more deleterious than
an irregular walk. He attributes the
peculiar aches and pains of the men to
the fact that the same parts of the
body receive the series of shocks.
What does the doctor suggest by way
Of relief? Experiments have shown that
his plan is efficaci0us. The device Is
simple: A rubber heel for all military
boots. The brain Jar and other un-
favorable sensations are SO diminished
rs to give the infantrymen a new lease
Of activity. The relative efficiency Of
the army may thus be increased BY
what might be considered an unimpor.
tant change. The scale might be
turned in long and close contest in
favor of the r,rbber-heeled men, and
the map Of Europe altered.
