ing u Double Game-Much May De-
pend on Franoo-German Expedition.
Pekin, April 17.-The palace of the
empress, inhabited by Count Won Wal
dersee and his staff, was burned to the
ground to-day. Major General
schwartzkopf, Count Won Waldersee's
chief Of staff, has disappeared. With
the exception of the military papesr
everything was destroyed.
Trustworthy Chinese report that
troops in large numbers are massing in
the province of Shan-Si, near the from
tier Of the province of Chi Ii. Well
informed natives prophesy further
troubles. 1t is impossible to ascertain
whether the court Is playing double
game or it's authority is insufficient to
prevent the Chinese generals acting in
a manner likely to provoke hostilities.
The fact that for many months there
has been nothing in the shape OF de
facto government favors the latter n.y.
pothesis Probably a great deal will
depend upon the Franco-German expe-
dition inflicting severe de1eat upon
the Chinese, who have transgressed the
agreement by entering into the sphere
of the allies. If these offenders are
thoroughly smashed, it is likely to pro-
duce a good effect.
At to-days meeting Of the foreign
ministers the question of indemnities
was considered 1t is now estimated
that s270 900 will cover all claims.
London, April 1S.-The Standard pub
fishes the following dispatch from Tien
Tsin: 1.-THE report is confirmed that
the Chinese have destroyed portion OF
the railway beyond Pao Ting Flu. The
Chinese assert that General Ma has
resolved to recommence hostilities un-
der the impression that the allied com
manders are preparing to send an ex-
petition against Sian Flu from the
south"

Sails for Europe Again To-day-Wtll
Consult with Danish Explorers and
und with Professor Andres Brother
To superintcnd Shipping ofsuppiies
from Tromsoc-Party VIII start for
the Pole In June.

Boston April 17.--Evelyan Baldwin
the Arctic explorer, who heads the ex-
pedition which bears his name ano
which starts for the North pole the
coming summer, made a flying visit tc
this city to-day for the purpose of nego-
tiating for a portion of his equipment
and supplies, and for a consultation
with Boston parties interested in the
expedition. One of the principal food
supplies Of the expedition will be cho-
colate and Mr.. Baldwin negotiated for
nearly the whole of this article in this
city.
Mr.. Baldwin will sail tomorrow for
Hamburg on the Deutschland, arriving
there about April Is and spending one
day in that city, From Hamburg he
will go to Copenhagen, where he will
also remain a day for the purpose of
consulting Lieutenant Andrup and 9TH
er Danish Arctic explorers. Gothen-
burg Sweden, will be his next point,
and there he will remain two days for
a further consultation with Captain
went up in balloon. Mr.. Baldwin will
then visi. Christiana, Norway, to su-
perintend the shipping of supplies from
Tromsoe, where the supply ship Fritjof
is receiving both supplies and equip
ment. He will then go to Sandejord
Norway where more supplies are now
being concentrated both from the Unit
ed States and Norway.
Returning to Dundee, Scotland, he
will look after the reception Of addition
al supplies, upon the main expedition
ary steamer America. The explorer will
then return to the United States after a
short visit to London. and will be in
this country ten days before his final
departure. He expects to reach this
country for his final trip on May 20.
Upon his return to Europe he will go
direct to Tromsoe, Norway, from which
point the expedition will leave some
time during the second week in June.
AS has already been stated, Mr.. Bald
America this summer as the ice will
permit, making a landing on some por-
tion of Franz Josef land where he will
winter. The winter will be spent in
forming caches north and the final start
for the pole will probably be made some
time the last OF February, 1902. Mr.
Baldwin will take 400 dogs and fifteen
Siberian ponies and expects that the
entire expedition will at least start with
him for the pole, although it is prob
able that number of men will be sent
back for additional supplies.

Some time ago the HERALD suggested
that it would be wise action for the
Holyoke school district to refund the
outstanding school house bends. The
district was bonded for 10000 fer the
purpose Of raising money to build q
scoel house. The building was con.
struoted and 1t is good o.e, building
that the district and town may we'll bs
proud Of and enc that will answer The
needs Of the town for several ysars t
come. Two thousand dollars Of thil
bonded debt has been paid of by an Ok
tra tax levy for that purpose and unde
the terms Of tho bond issue this sxtr,
levy for the payment Of the bonds will
be continued till the bonds are all paio
unless steps are taken to refund the
bonds. These bonds are drawing 8 pei
cont interest and could without doubt be
refunded at 8 per cent and possibly at ,
lower rate than that. In addition to this
bonded debt, the school district has O
floating debt Of at least $1,000 that is
drawing 6 per cent interest. OF course
1t is desirable to wipe out all of this in
debtedness as soon as It can reasonably
be done but even on our present tax
levy for this purpose 1t would Of neces-
sity require several years to accomplish
this. In our Judgement the proper
course to pursue would be to refund the
bonds ut the lowest possible rate Of IN
terest and then use the extra .ax levy
for the purpose Of paying off the floating
debt. This floating debt could be easily
paid of in this manner before the re.
funded bonds matured and the entire
debt conId be wiped out without unduIy
burdening the ax-psyers OF the district.
The present tax leavy is burdensome
and, while the money thereby raised is
being applied on the bonds. the unpaid
bonds continue to draw tho unreasona.
bly, high rate Of 8 per cent and the float.
ing debt 6 per cent. 1t may be too late
TO make move in this matter this year
but 1t certainly would be wise to present
this question to the Taxpayers early in
the coming year.
