Forbidden City at Certain
Hours.

PEKIN, Feb. 2S.-Sir Robert Hart.
chief of the Chinese imperial customs,
has sent the ministers OF the powers
a strongly worded letter to protest
against the seizure of his property to
increase the size of the legation area,
Which has been taken by Austria, Ger
many, France and Italy. The latter
power has taken the ground on which
Sir Roberts house was situated. He
says ii can only be Chinese government
property in an indefinite sense, in that
during the past twenty years part OF
his salary as a PeRin official has been
given TO him in houses. instead of the
government paying in cash. Sir Rob-
ert also put money into the purchase
of land, in building houses and in keep
ing them in repair. He considered
that, having lived there for twenty
years, he owned the property abso-
lutely.
1t is generally understood in the sell
vice that whoever has lived that long
in house owned it, having purchased
it in rental allowances. He says Italy
especially had suitable grounds, and
that she had no reason to share in
the general gratis distribution of lands
for the various legations. Sir Robert
also points TO his many years in the
service of the foreign powers, and to
his having made the customs pay the
principal and interest of loans, a thor
oughly international service, and that
he has even paid the interest on the
loans since the trouble began, and he
thinks he ought to have received more
consideration.
General Yamagatchi. the japanese
commander. and Gen. Chaffee have is
sued orders permitting visitors, prop
erly accredited. TO visit the Forbidden
City on certain days, during certain
hours, and that foreign generals and
their personal friends can visit at any
time. The foreign ministers consider
themselves sighted.
The principal topic-the court edict
regarding the punishment-discuss at
Yesterdays meeting of the ministers
and today's meeting, was short, owing
to the ministers awaiting the full text

lutely satisfactory require official con-

In view of the fact that walnut tim
Der is growing more and more scarce
every year, wouldn't it be wise for
farmers to plant walnut trees on their
waste lands? Nearly every farm has
more or less land that is absolutely
good for nothing. Raise walnut. and
in the years to como you will reap a
rich harvest. The walnut is not a very
slow growing tree, and the more scarce
1t becomes, the more people will be
bound to have it at some price.
