Picking, June 1.-THE departure of
Field Marshal Count Won Waldersee
from Picking Monday was marked bya
great military display by the allied
troops, the booming of artillery and
the playing of bands. The entire
diplomatic body escorted the field
marshal to the depot.
Won Rauch, the aide-de-camp, and
nephew of Count Won Waldersee, win
remain here to escort Prince Chun, the
emperor's brother, to Berlin, where he
will formally apologize in behalf of
China for the murder of Baron Won
Ketteler.
Farewell Banquet.
Berlin, June "A special dis
patch to the Lokal Anzeiger from
Picking says Count Won Waldersee
gave farewell banquet in honor of
DR.. Mum Won Schwarzenstein, the
German minister, Sunday, and toast
ed Emperor William and the allied
sovereigns.
Won Waldersee sailed for Japan
Monday When he returns to Ger
many it will be by way of German
East Africa.
Serious ARRAY at Tientsin.
Tientsin, June 4.-There was a seri-
Gus ARRAY Sunday between interna-
tional troops. Some British fusileers
who were acting as police here sought
to prevent French soldiers from house
breaking, when they were attacked
with bayonets and bricks. The
fusileers, in self-defense, fired in the
air. This brought number of Ger
mans to the aid of the Frenchmen.
They numbered together 200 men. Five
fusileers fired again, killing French
man and wounding three others. In
subsequent fighting, four fusileers,
five Germans and one Japanese were
wounded The arrival of German Of
fcer and strong guard ended the
fray.
Russia and America Hold AIOof.
New York, June A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Neither Russia nor the United States
will detail troops to garrison the posts
to be established by the powers be-
tween Tabu and Picking. Russia's de-
termination to refrain from maintain
ing troops upon the territory of
neighboring empire is another indica-
ton of her purpose to pursue to the
end the policy which she originally
adopted.
This policy is absolutely in line with
that of the United States, and, in fact,
from what can be learned, it is the in
tention of Russia to act with this gov
eminent in future questioss discussed
in Picking. This attitude has given the
administration much satisfaction.
The points between Taku and Picking
which will be garrisoned by the pow
ers, ostensibly to maintain a safe
egress for the foreign ministers in the
capital, have not been finally deter
mined, though it seems to be under
stood that troops will be stationed at
Gang-tsung and at one other point
near Tientsin. The size of the garri-
sons also remains to be established
From what is known, it is the purpose
Of Germany to distribute the brigade
of 1000 men now in Picking among the
legations in Picking and the two posts
which will be established. Great Brit
ain and France, the latter of which
originally made the proposal for the
garrisons Will also have troops in the
garrisons. Whether the japanese will
be represented in the forces to stav in
China is not known.

LOOK FOR IMPROVEMENT.
Doctors in Attendance Upon Mrs.
Mckinley Believe There Is
Reason to Be Hopeful.
SHE PASSES A COMFORTABLE NIGHT.
DR.. OsIet, Professor I'm Medical De-
partment ofJohns Hopkins College
and Noted as DiagnOstician, Called
in ConsHltRtion-Prcsid Is Dis
tinctIy More Cheerful.

Washington, June 4.-Hope of slow
improvement in Mrs. McKinley's con
dition was held out by the attending
physicians after an hours consulta-
ton Monday morning, in which Dr.
William Oslet, of Baltimore. Joined.
Dr. Oslet is a professor in the med
ical department of Johns Hopkins
college, and has a national repuIa
ton as a diagnostician. He was called
in to add his knowledge and skill to
that of the other three physicians,
and the result of the consultation is
considered encouraging. Mrs. Nc
kinley had comfortable night, after
a rather bad day Sunday, and DR..
BiNey did not arrive at the white
house until nine o'clock Monday
morning. Shortly after ten o'clock he
was joined by Surgeon General
sternberg and DR.. Johnson, and a
little later by DIR. Osler, who had been
summoned from Baltimore. They re-
NAMED in consultation until II
o'clock and Is minutes later Secre-
tary Cortelyou gave out the follow
ing statement, dated 11:15 o'clock
a. m:
'Drs Rixey, sternberg and Johnston
were joined by DR. Osler, of Baltimore, in
consultation at ten a. m and report that
Mrs. McKinley's condition is as favorable
as could be expected. There is no imme-
date apprehension and a slow improve
ment is looked for"
DR.. RiXey called at the white house
at 2:30 o'clock and remained until $40.
When he left he said that Mrs. McKin-
ley was resting comfortably.
Causes Relief to Anxious Inqufrers.
The statement that there is no i'm
mediate apprehension, coupled with
prospect for slow improvement,
caused some relief to the many anX-
ious inquirers who called at the
white house for news from the sick
room. Secretary Hay called on his
way to the state department to in
quire. and Ambassador Cambon came
personally to offer to the president
his sympathy and hope for Mrs. Me
Kinley's early restoration to health.
The president was distinctly more
cheerful after the physicians had
announced the result of their con-
sultation, and about 1880 o'clock
went out for a stroll through the
white house grounds.

commissioners Report Used.

1t is said that the conventions in
depreciation is Secretary Roots in
depreciation, taken bodily from the
official report of the Cuban commits
sioners in Washington. and that the
report gives complete and exact ac-
count of the conferences in Washing
ton. 1t has been generally known in
Havana for many weeks that if the
convention should accept the Platt
amendment It would be with the UNI
Outstanding that it means what Sec
rotary Root said that it means. Re
ports of the Washington commission
and the committee of relations, which
made this clear. were published in
full in all the papers here before the
convention took final action. The del
egates say that Gen. Wood knew the
commission would include in its res
oution of acceptance the eXplana-
tions made by Secretary Root.

Wheat ir China.

The greater part of the wheat
grown in China is winter wheat
planted in the fall. It is not sown
in large tracts, as in the United
States, but planted in small lots OF
a fraction of an acre. It is in many
cases planted by dropping about
three grains in a hole and putting
a few ashes in each hill. It is hoed
and weeds are pulled out by hand
When ripe it is cut close to the ground
or pulled out by the roots. The
threshing is done by fails on the
ground. The grain is gathered up
with a large percentage of dirt, and
sold without being cleaned. Another
method of threshing is to whip the
grain over a row of sticks placed on
q box. The wheat il not cleaned be.
