REPUBLICAN, YARNS


While Republicans are going about seek
ing whom they can deceive with ridiculous
yarns of what their candidate for Mayor
would do If he should happen to be elect
ed, friends of Mr.. George 7. Smith are
quietly convincing those who have treated
Mr.. Mark Faean seriously. that the
Democratic administration in this city
is not what Republicans have so grossly
ard wflfully misrepresented it to be.
Among the many absurd things said by
Mr. Faean's friends is that Democrats
had never given to the public schools
that attention which their Importance
merifed The statement was brought to
the notice of Republican ex-member of
the Board of Education. who laughed
heartily and replied frankly:
II want 70 say that Is not so. and I
know H. Although in the minority of the
Board when l sat in it. myself and col-
leagues got everything we. asked in rea-
son, and the records will show that since
Democrats have been in control larger
number Of schools have been built than
during any three previous periods of adj
ninistration. Every school teacher shoua
thank the Democrats fthis city for
their work in raising their salaries. Tie
initial labors to that end were accom-
pIlshed by Democrats. Our schools today
thanks to Democratic government, are
models for any city in the State.

British Soldier Fond Of
American Fumes.
Farorite Sougs of Troops in
South Africa.

A recent number of the Academy dis
cusses waht it calls "Mr. Atkins'S national
anthem" The writer says that while the
British soldier takes certain perfuntory
interest in the martial music and the lyrics
of war with which the general public is best
acquainted, these, after all, are not by the
military bands and Tommy will step off to
their music briskly enough; but for his own
particular and private delectation he wants
something 'that has wiShywashy cords and
that can be sung through the nose." Hence
it is that he passes by such songs as "Sold
diers of the Queen" an "Boys of the Bull
dog Breed" while even "Rule Britannia"
aud ''God Save the King are never sung
by him when he IS let alone. During the
present war in South Africa, the one and
only song of which he never seems to tire
is that bit of doggerel entitled "JuSt Break
Ihe News to Mother" This has been sung
oves and in every hospital and troopship
since the beginning of hostilities. Tommy
has taken in to his heat and may at any
moment the found grooming it out in a

CHINA'S CONDITION.
Discomfort and Intense Hatred
of Foreigners Prevail.

A majority of the foreign ministers will
leave Pekin next aeeek for the Western
Hills, to spend the summer. They will
take with them military guards for their
protection. 1t is their intention to visit
Pekin periodically for the purpose of hol.
ding meetings and attending to necessary
business.
Mr.. Owen of the London MisSion says
all the reports received by his mission
from the Trouiuces show the country is in
deplorable condition. Discomfort and
intense hadred Of foreigners prevail and
worse conditions tnan existed before the
siege are threatened. The departure of
the troops, he predicts, will be signali4ed
by massacre Of the native Christians.

IeaIIb d Arny in tID Philippines.
Good Reports heceived
in Washin gton.
Small Percentage of Sick.

Surgeon General Sternberg is much grs-
tilted at the recent report from Manila show
ing less percentage Of sick than at any
time since the American troops were sent
to the Philippines. He attributes the bet.
ter condition to several causes, but notably
to the fact that officers and men now un-
derStand the importance of taking good care
OF themselves. The soldiers in the Philippi-
nes are to all intentS aud purposes regulars,
whether oilicered by regular officers or vo
lunteer officers and the men are compelled
to conform closely to the restrictions as to
diet and care Of themselves. Gen. Stern
herg says the training and education of the
surgeons in the Philippines has had good
results. Those officers have learned how to
treat tropical diseases and complaints ind-
genouS to the islands more successfully
han before.

Amount d Chinese Indemnity Fixed
Forcing Ministers.
$337,OOo,ooo has been
Demanded.
Customs Tariff Will Probably
be Raised.

According to a recent despatch from
Pekin the foreign Ministers have addres.
sed a collective note to the Chinese Go.
Vernment, informing it that Joint indem-
nifty of 100000, 600 taels (S337 900, ,OOOl
would be demanded, and asking What me
tnod Of payment is proposed. A reply is
expected which will probably propose to
meet the indemnity by raising the customs
tariff
1t is considered likely that the Powers
will assent 10 some such measure, in return
Tor concessions on the part of China in
the shape of total abolition of the likir,
the placing Of import duties on a gold
basis, really free navigation Cf Chinese
waters, and the removal OF impediments to
navigation and the tax at Woosung.
The Ministers were unable to agree as
to the desrability of opening lhe whole
empire to trade and residence, some of
them holding that it would be asking China
to assume too great responsibi ity, and that
under the present system of government 1t
would be impossible to guarantee the safety
of the numerous foreigners who would flock
into the interior If the empire were entirely
opened.

From one who has Seea the engineers of

they hoped to use as ship canal, sixty feet
deep for the most part, ana the shallow parts
