Dealers.
HAVE WORKED NIGHT AND DAY
Tri-city Company Hoping for
Continuance of Frigid
Weather.
AVE WORKED NIGHT AND DAY

The cold snap which broke upon
this section last night will be hailed
as deliverance by number of ice
men who have been working night and
day to get their houses filled before
it is too late.
The Twin-City ice company is in
the poorest condition of any local
firm to give the advance guard of
spring a cordial welcome at this par
ticular time. It's houses on Sylvan
island are not yet filed and the COM
pany is building another house at
Watertown which it hopes to fill. A
large shipping business is being done
at the latter place also. and the Twin
City would be much pleased to see
two or three weeks more of frigid
weather.
Martin Weinberger & Son are cut
ting in the channel near the Crescent
bridge. They are putting up about
1,00O tons and will be done in a
couple of days.
John Siegrist is also cutting in the
channel at the Crescent bridge and in
a couple of days will have Tiled his
houses with 2 600 tons of the cool.
Private parties who have been get
ting ice for storage purposes from
the river at the foot of Eighteenth
street have generally about concluded
operations.
Consolidated Is Done.
The Consolidated Ice company has
filled its houses on Rock river besides
q hi ppino q nun1 hpT 0f carlOads tn in
land towns. The work was COM
pleted yesterday and 10 600 tons were
put away. More could have been cut
for shipment. but the snow and slush
made very bad field and work had
to be stopped. The company en-
ployed about one hundred and fifty
men, most of whom boarded at the
scene of operations. The Rock Island
Brewing company put up l, 400 tons
of very good ice, finishing last week.

UNCLE SAM FACING A CRISIS
In the Chinese Business-Dismay Over
waldersee's Movements.


Washington, Feb. 19.-The United
States government is facing serious
crisis in China, owing to the announce
ment of the purpose of Field Marshal
Count Won Waldersee to begin another
offensive campaign. General Chaffee
has been invited TO join in the eXpedi-
ton. which is to be mobiliZed on a
larger scale than anything attempted
in China since the original march to
Peking. The general so Informed the
war department yesterday and the of
ficials of the state department have
been advised of the situation. This
German movement is viewed with alb
Solute diSmay here. for ii is feared that
il requires an immediate decision by
the United States government upon
its whole line of policy toward the
Chinese question.
General Chaffee will be told that he
is not to participate in this campaign.
He has been keeping the American
forces in Peking ever since the city
was pacified simply as a legation guard.
and the German government is fully
aware that the United States govern
ment purposely deprived the American
contingent in China of its offensive
military character and withdrew it
from the control of Count Won Walder-
see in order to hasten peace negotia-
tions and prevent. so far as it could.
the continuance of military movements
against the Chinese which We're at
once unnecessary and baneful in their
effect upon the peace movement.
So, our government not having
changed its policy. cannot do other
wise than cause General Chaffee to re
frain from any participation in hostile
military movements, so long as the
present peaceful conditions continue
But another very serious point under
consideration is not whether Chaffee
shall join the German movement, but
whether ii is not the duty of our gov
ernment to exercise all proper efforts
TO dissuade the German government
from undertaking this campaign.
The Chinese government is unfortu-
nately delaying the peace negotiations
in an eXasperating fashion. and is not
responding in proper spirit to the ef-
FORT of the United States government.
Word has just come from Minister
Conger which confirms the press adj
vices relative to the Chinese deo,ina-
tion to accede to the demands of the
ministers in the matter OF capital pun
ishment of the leaders implicated in
the Boxer movement

Invited tn . President West.

Washington. Feb. 19.-Representa-

House and invited the president, on
behalf of the cities, of Davenport, Ia,
Rock Island and Moline, Ills, to visit
the Rock Island arsenal in the middle
of the Mississippi river opposite those
cities on the occasion of his trip to
the far west during the coming sum-
IGer. The president will consider the
invitation, but said at this time he
could not give a positive answer.

that the undoubtedly benevolent in
tentions of the Russian government are
carried out more rapidly by their Of
ticers in distant provinces. / do not

towards this country
Cars Arrangements with China.
Continuing, Lord CranbOrne said
Russia had assured the government
that any agreement between Russia
and China respecting the occupation of
Manchuria WAS in the nature of a
modus vivendi to prevent disturbances
along the frontiers and railroad. 1t
was purely temporary, and although a
guarantee was expected by Russia
that these disturbances would not
break out again, that guarantee would
not take the form of territorial acquisi-
tion or virtual protectOrate.
Refers to waIdersee's Expedition.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt asked:
''Is it true that an expedition into the
interior of China has been ordered
by Count Won Waldersee And if so
how does the order affect our troops?
At the end of such an operation we
might find ourselves in another guer-
rilla war among population far great
er than the Beers" Lord Cranborne re-
piled that so far as the government
was aware no power was contemplat-
ing an expedition into the interior of
China If it was so the British COM
manders would require fresh instruc-
tions. Lord CranbOrne also observed
that the government did not consider
suicide proper alternative for the
death penalty in the case of the Chi
nese implicated in the Boxer outrages.

JUDGE WALLACE DEAD.
An Ideal South Carolinian of
The eOld Regime.

Union, March 21.-Special:
Judge William q. Wallace, ;ha ha
Speaker of the famous House, died
very suddenly at his home, in
Union, this afternoon about 2
O'Clock of heart failure. He hal
been i'll two weeks with grip, but
was thought to be on the road to
rapid recovery. His children
Mrs James Maxwell, of Greenville;
Mrs V. S. Gage and Mr. Dan H.
Wallace, of Union, were st his
bedside. Mrs Governor Sheppard,
his other daughter, was the only
one absent.
In the death of Judge Wallace
the State loses one of her noblest
sons. He was full of love cf his
country, his State and, most OF all.
bis home. The announcement
of his death fell like a thunder
clap from a clear sky on the ears
of the citizens of the town. Judge
Wallace Aas a gallant soldier in the
war; entering as private, he was
soon made adjutant. From this
he was promoted colonel of the
18th South Carolina regiment, then
to brigadier general and just
previous to the last fight before
surrender he was by direct COM
mand of Gen Gordon placed i'll
command of Gen Bushrod r.
Johnson's division, having two
ranking briga Tiers serving un-
der him.
His fame as Speaker of the
Wallace House. and his frmnese
and good judgment, which saved
the two contending parties from a
battle, which would have caused a
flow of blood on the floor of the
State House, is too well known to
require repetitition here.
Judge Wallace was born in
Laurens County about 1927. He
came to Union, whore he has lived

The loss of his wife some time

There is possibly not another

HOMEGROWN MAcARoNI.

Macaroni is to become another home
product if the plans of the United
States government succeed as they
promise to do. At present We import
10000. 900 pounds of macaroni each
year, because its manufacture demands
a special class of flour made from a
wheat that never had been grown here
Government experts were sent abroad
two years ago and they brought back
with them a quantity of this macarOni
wheat. Experiments showed that it
was well adapted to wide territory
in the west and northwest and that
land sown with it yielded from one
third to one-haIf more than other land
sOwed with other wheat. And, better
still, the new wheat was found to be
wonderfully resistant to drought and
in the DakOtas. where other wheats
were total failures, the new variety
produced an excellent yield. Domestic
manufacturers of macarOni, who had
been handicapped by lack of proper
flour, are demanding all that can be
produced now, and it's introduction has
already opened new field to American
farmers, it will open new field to
American bakers.

Freshets in New York.

New York, Dec. 17.-Warn weather
and rain, followed by high winds, have
resulted in fearful damage all over
New York state. The SHOWS in the
northern sections thawed rapidly caus-
ing the rivers and creeks to rise, and
the valleys Were inundated Heavy
rain followed accompanied by wind of
great velocity Trains were blocked
for hours, 1andslides were frequent and
in the 1owlands and valleys hundreds
of dwellings were flooded, while the
damage to farm lands and buildings is
very great Few lives SO far have been
lost.
At Troy the damage from wind and
rain is estimated at $50, 900 and the
electric car service to Albany is sus-
pended
Logs valued at $4,000 We're swept
away on East Canada creek, north of

Twenty bridges on the Lehigh val
