These get-Ich-quicll men also know the
weaknesses of the soldiers too well, and
they have brought in great quantities of
intoxicating drinks and tobacco. In some
cases army officers are, it Is said, the
silent partners of these essllrewd men. Char
acterless ones are placed iii charge of
drinking places at Tientsin, Peklng and
other places.
The drunken and debauched soldiers of
all nations know eaHyr the profane and

perhaps, has had experience in the same

where, spends his visible time hobnobblng

Mr.. Greeley's book has no equal as

be made. The work must be done entirely
under cover of darkness, for 1t would be
unpleasant for the French if the other
Generals and Ministers discovered the de-
tails.
The American secured an audience with
the French Minister, and presented his
strong letters from New York and other
bankers. The Minister referred the specu-
Iatiye Yankee to the French General.
Upon reaching the Generals headquarters
it was found he could not speak word of
English. The next day the American took
an interpreter, only to find that he had ar
rived Just an hour too late to get any of
the coveted loot, for it had been sold to one
of the banks named above through q
Shanghai speculator.
I made part of journey with the dis
appointed American, who believes he
missed q fortune by not knowing how to
speak French the day he met the General
who held the key to SO much looted silver.
The managers of the banks here are
complaining bitterly about the handicap"
placed upon the business of their branches
in the Philippines, because the United
States Government has recently placed q
duty of 10 per cent. on all Mexican dollars
taken out of the islands in bank transac-
tions. 1t would tend greatly to the inter-
estS of the business communities over here
II In some way the enormous exchange
rates charged by the banks, as well as the
trafficking In the unstable silver money,
could be broken up.
These bank managers seem annoyed at
the prospect of a national bank, organized
under United States laws, starting at Ma
nila, with branches throughout the island.

boats has made with the ice, but the ice

sands of these primitive boats, for freight
and passengers, navigated the Pieho River

miles away.
The Chinese interested in navigation left
these boats scattered along the river when
the allied troops came to Peking and
swept everything before them.

TO CURE THE GRIP.
Advice of a Famous Physician.
First and foremost. REST.

First and foremost, REST.
Take care Of yourself. Your already
weakened nerves want rest, an" must have
it. If the attack is severe, go to bed and
remain there. More fatalities result from
neglect of this precaution than from any
other cause.
Eat sparingly. Your digestive organs
are in no condition to take care of large
quantities of food.
Drink plenty of pure, cold water. 1t
allays the fever, stimulates the kidneys to
action and opens up the pores of the skin.
Keep the bowels open with DR.. Miles
Nerve and Liver Pills.
Take three doses of Dr. Miles Neryine
per day, and if you cannot sleep take an
extra dose at bed time. To further con-
troll the fever, and to overcome the .pecu-
liar aches and pains of grip, use DR.. Miles
Pain Pills. They act quickly and effect
ually, and no bad effects result from their
use. These remedies have been thoroughly
tested more than million times, and their
efficiency is thoroughly established. They
never fail to give relief.

drug store, and they are4sold on a positive
guarantee that first bottle or package ben
efts or money refunded.

! mules of the United States are the admira-
ton of the commanders.
While it is generally considered that our
army has the best field transportation, it
is contended that it is the most expensive
and cannot be as readily adapted to condi-
tions liable to be met with in a military
campaign as the camel or donkey caravans
or the little pony carts of the japanese or
Russians.
The allied troops, in their hurry to get
to the relief of the Legationers last Sum
mer, had brought scant supplies with them.
There was little time then for realizing the
necessities of the great armies during the
severe North China Winter, fast approach
ing. What the exact conditions might be
after entering Peking no one could fore
tell. The Empress Dowager and the EN-
peror had fed with that unknown guam
tity and quality, the Chinese Imperial
army. The Boxers had vanished, the
hordes of Peking's population had fled in
every direction; it was indeed a deserted
city.
The Legationers, including a few thou
sand native Christians, and the mission
aries who were in the siege found them
selves, after liberation, homeless, school
less and churchless; for everything they
possessed had been destroyed. The arm
les had these to provide for, temporarily at
least; they would probably be obliged to
all Winter, but more likely than not would
have to feed and clothe them free of any
charge.
CONDITIONS AT PEKING.
The swarms of poor Chinese who had
fled in terror at the entrance of the allied
armies, were now timidly returning, to find
even their plain food supplies very scarce
and dear.
Peking bad been districted into Ameri-
can, British, japanese, German and Rus
sian quarters (the latter being turned over
to the French when the Russians withdrew
their troops).
The condition to-day is that the British,
the American and the japanese sections
are swarminS with Chinese that have re-
turned, while the German and French
quarters are as deserted as during the first
days of the allied occupation.
Spectators from the United States,
from England, from Shanghai and Hong
Kong have been buying up and cornering

An interesting, and without doubt O
true story, Ii told Of an American who
raced across the Pacific with $4,000 in his
pocket, with more to be cabled, for the
purpose of loot speculation. He arrived a
little late for the cream of the loot, for
the banks and Shanghai spectators were
capable Of buying all that came along and
had the clay Of the land" The newly ar
rived American got wind that the French
had secured several millions of dollars in

the transport ships at Taku to Peking was
by these river boats. Every available
craft was taken possession of by the vari-
Gus armies, and it is safe to say that the
Pieho River has never seen as busy
shipping season as it has during the past
eight weeks.
Supplies to limited extent have been
sent forward by army wagons, camel
trains and pack donkeys. Great Britain
has used camels and donkeys for trans
portation more than any other nation,
utilizing her Indian troops and coolies for
this work. The United States Govern
ment has sent several long trains of its
splendid army mule teams through to
