PEKING, Oct. 2-Dispatches from ST.
Ngan-Fu announce that the Chinese court
is preparing to start about Oct. 6. The
temporary palace there is being dismantled
and all the furnishings will be carried for
use en- route. The officials and servants
will constitute a caravan numbering from
5000 to 5000 persons, with 1,2OO carts and
several thousands of horses and mules that
have been collected in the Si-Ngan-Fu dis
trict
Two parties of officials already have
started to make preparations along the
line. The towns through which the court
will pass are engaged in decorating tempo
rary palaces and collecting supplies. The
Emperor, or the Empress dowager in his
name, has issued an edict strictly COM
manding the officials to pay for all sup
plies. The native papers report that sew
eral eunuchs have been beheaded for prac-
tcing extortiOn among the people. An i'm
peral edict commands Ii Hung Chang, as
governor of the province of Chilli, to bor-
row 100000 taels from the other provinces
TO defray the expenses of the courts jour
ney. Special local taxes are being levied,
which the people. already impoverished by
bandits. foreign punitive expeditions and
missionary indemnities. are ill able to af-
ford.
Ii Hung Chang said to-day: 1.-THE court
will certainly arrive in Peking within two
months"
Despite such official statements many
foreign officials here believe the Empress
dowager fears the foreign troops kept
to entrap and punish her, and the theory is
that she will pass the winter in Kai-Yuen-
Flu. sending the Emporer to Peking. The
continual OrOadside of reform edictS is the
topic of much varied comment. Those best
able 20 judge of their sincerity or effective
ness withhold judgment. Prince Ching,
conYerSing with foreign officials to-day as
serted that the Empress and the Empress
dowager were agreed to the necessity of
changing the Chinese methods of govern
ment and that steps for the enforcement of
edicts would be taken soon the court
returned to Peking.
UnquestiOnably the reform movement is
stronger among the upper classes than
ever before. Prince Su. who was recently
appointed collector of taxes on goods enter
ing Peking-an office heretofore considered
worth 100000 teals per year-has announced
that he purposes to deposit all the collec-
tions i'm the treasury and to request the
Emperor to pay him a fair salary. His
subordinates resent this plan and Prince
Su has been threatened with assassina-
tiOn.

BAN OF SILENCE.


MADISON, Wis, Oct. Am order was
issued to-day from the headquarters of the
Department of Wisconsin, G.. A. r., signed
by A II. De Graft, department commander,
and K. Il. Gray, assistant adjutant general,
putting a ban of silence on the name of
President McKinleys assassin. The order
reads as follows:
Our friend. our comrade, our President
is dead by the hand of an assassin whose
name should never be pronounced by an
American. Comrade William McKinley's g
earthly career closed at Buffalo, N Y. at
2:30 a. m. Sept. H. 1901"
In brief, the idea is to have the criminal
forgotten by the veterans, their children
and grandchildren, that the name of the
assassin or details of the crime may never
be commented upon.

UNITED CHURCH.

The pulpit of the United church was occupied yesterday morning by the Rev A. J. Haynes of Harwich, Mass. His theme was the call of Jesus to His disciples. Come. follow Me. and l will make you fishers of men, and they straitway left their nets and followed Him" There were plenty of men in the synagogues who were learned in the Hebrew Scriptures; why did He not se- lect one of them? Jesus chose men of simplicity whom He could use and mold to His own high ideas. John the Baptist led a glorious revival. but it lacked depth. perseverance and Chris tian experience Jesus teachings were full Of the love of suffering humanity. Christian experience incines the fol- lowers of Christ to the service of hue manity and to the striving of the high, est ideals possible in this life. The dis course was an excellent one and was listened to with much interest.
