Secretary for Foreign Affairs.
Owing TO the objection Of Prince Chun
and his suite TO the ceremony Of kotow-
ing before the German Emperor, it was
decided that the members Of the eNpiatory
mission should kneel as an evidence of
their regret for the assassination Of the
German Minister by their countTymen.
The fear Of having 10 kOtow, which
would have been keenly humiliaung tC
Chun and his companions, had delayed the
mission. which was halted at Basel,
Switzerland, for several days. pending the
efforts Of Ii Hung Chang to secure a
Modification Of the ceremonies.

Chinese mobiles, when they appeared be
fore the Kaiser today. either knelt or
made q low obeisance and formally ex-
pressed their grief over the tragedy which
made their journey TO Germany as rep
rasentatives of the Chinese Emperor a

Rushing into the store, he said: Say,

M K Il 7 Reducfs Rssres in Indian
Territory

Ever since the construction OF the
M. K. & L. Ry. through the Indiaa
Territory its local passenger rate be-
tween stations in the Indian Terri
tory has been on the basis OF five cents
a mile. The customary rate Of pas
seuger fares on railroads except ia
sparsely settled country, is three
cents mile. The population of the
Indian Territory has grown rapidly
there has been large increase OF
passenger traffic on this account, and
the Katy officials, recognizing the
wants of the people and the justice OF
so doing, have voluntarily arranged
TO reduce the local passenger rate to,
a basis Of three cents mile. This
reduction will take effect about Nov
ember first. There will be great re-
j0icing among the residents along
the line of the M, X. q Il.

VIRTUALLY NO SMALLPOX
Only One or Two Isolated Cases in
vinita and They are Very Mild.

The Board of Health and muni.
cipal officers have succeeded in
virtually stamping the smallpox
out of Vinita.
Today there are only one or two
cases and these are in very mild
form. The patients are SO isolated
! that there is no danger Of contagion
The only fear now is from visitors.
The work of vaccination is still 60
ing on and every person who does
not report for the operation are
liable to fine of $25.
While nearly every other town
in the Territory is in the midst
of an epidemic of more or less viru-
lence, the people of the country
needhave no hesitancy in coming to
Vinita and bringing their families.
There is quite an epidemic OF
grip raging throughout the country
and Vinita has not escaped. This
illness is caused by germ and the
physicians announce that about
the only way to escape the grip
during weather SO chsngeable as
this, is to dodge the germ when
you see it coming. If you don't
see it and successfully dodge,
you're very likely to get the grip.
