ALARMING NEWS FROM CHINA.
The United States State Department
Fears Another Big Boxer Revolt.


Washington, Sept. 20.-China is
on the verge of another boxer revolt
which may equal that eft 1900, ae-
cording to mail advices received at
the state department from Minister
Conger, dated last month.
The troubles appear to arise prin-
cipally from extortionate taxation
combined with resentment against
the presence of missionaries, thus
iustifying the Judgment of the de-
partment OF state, which pointed out
to the powers that the demand for
excessive indemnities would result in
serious internal troubles in China
Mr.. Conger's first .aIvicc bears date
of August 6, from Pekin, and he re-
ports serious anti-ioreign riots near
Chentu, in province of Szechuan, in
which a number of native Christians
had been massacred and chapels de-
stroyed.
Mr. Conger addressed a note to
Prince Ching at the foreign office
stating that there were several
American missionaries and many
chapels and converts In Scechuan
and that it was necessary that i'm
mediate provision be taken to stamp
out these trouble at their very in
ception.
The foreign office replied that sew
eral edicts have been issued directing
the viceroy to suppress the trouble
1t had received telegram from that
official stating that the rebel Hsiung
Ching He of Jeu Chou Hsian made
his appearance suddenly at the head
OF a mob and burned u chapel and
some thirty odd houses early in that
moon and also killed a christian
Other outrages were also committed
whereupon the viceroy dispatched
troops to the scene who killed some
twenty boxers.
The leader of the riot was also cap
tured and orders were given to hav,
him beheaded and his head exposed
The rebels at other points were ais,
attacked by the government troops
and routed. Three or four hundred
were killed.
The Judge Of the province reported
that there was no need for the mis-
sionares 10 seek temporary refuge

tude Sc. 33.
Lieut.. Peary says that the pole
can be reached from FranZj0sefland,
and from Grantiand, in latitude 81
degrees, II the winter quarters are
established as far north as possible
He says that he would Just as soon

that he is out of harmony with the
Iowa state Republican convention
when it declares for mobilization OF

Des Moines, Sept. 20.-Speaker
Henderson refuses to reconsider his
decision not to stand for reelection
to congress. This announcement is
contained In telegraphic answer to
a request wired him by Lafe Young
and s W. Rathbun. After stating
that his decision is final, the speaker
says:
81 cannot acquiesce in administer
ing the free trade poison to cure the
trust evil, which | abhor."
Washington, Sept. 2c,-Spea ker
Henderson's withdrawal on account
OF the tarifi-trust question fell like II
bombshell in political circles here.
Republicans are dismayed, for il
Henderson has sincerely stated his
reason for his action, widespht, OF
utmost Importance in the congress
sional elections, is evident.
Democrats are iubilant for the
same reason, and moreover, because
they believe that Henderson's action
insures the election of Ex-Governor
Horace Boies, his Democratic oppo-
nent. Henderson has placed a strong
card in their hands. One of the lead
ing Republican representatives with
draws rather than take action which
in popular opinion would do much
to curb the trusts. He withdraws to
private life rather than attack them
even in that small particular,
Secretary Edwards, OF the Demo
cratic congressional campaign com
mittee, said:
"The withdrawal OF Henderson at
this time is worth 20 seats to us il
the next house. 1t shows that the
Republicans do not care to stand uT
and face the issues presented. Gov
ernor Boies will be elected by hand
some majority
Henderson was not popular among
many members of congress because
he ruled with.too strong hand. The
house, under his speakership, was
the speaker. The average congress
man amounted to little. Henderson
would have had a hard fight for re
election to the speakership under any
circumstances, and it is predicted
that his successor as presiding Off
Ger, be he Republican or Democrat
will not have the power Henderson
/, had.
Henderson's withdrawal comes at
the same time as the announcement
that the political conference of lead
ing senator's with the president a
Oyster Bay had decided that tn,
tariff should not be tinkered Will
during the coming winter.
The possibility Of defeat by Boie'
and the possibility of defeat for thu
speakership are urged by Democratic
as two reasons which impelled thu
speaker as strongly as did the one HI

THE IDEAL STUDENT.
His Qualities Defined Concisely by
the Late Cecil Rhodes. j

From His Last Will and Testament.
My desire being that the students who
shall be elected to the scholarships shall
not be merely boolworms, | direct that
in the election of a student to u scholar
ship regard shall be had to dr his lit
erary and scholastic attainments, dD
his fondness of and success In manly
outdoor sports, such as cricket, foot
ball. and the like; GiD his qualities OF
manhood, truth, courage. devotion TO
duty. sympathy for the protection OF
the weak kindliness. unselhshness, ana
fellowship. and dv) his exhibition DUR
ing schooldays of moral force or char
acter and of instincts to lead ana TO
take an interest in his schoolmates, for
those latter attributes will be likely IN
afterlife to guide him to esteem the per-
forInance of public duties as his high
est aim. AS mere suggestions TOR the
guidance of those who Will have the
choice of students for the scholarships,
| record that I'D my Ideal qualified stu
dent would combine these four qualif-
cations in the proportions or three
tenths for the first, tWo-tenths for the
second, three-tenths for the third, and
two tenths for the fourth qualification
so that, according to my ideas, If the
maximum number of marks for any
scholarship were 200, they would be ap-
portioned as follows-60 to each of the
first and third qualifications and 40 to
each of the second and fourth qualifica-
tions: DID the marks for the several
qualifications would be awarded inde-
pendently AS follows, chat is to say),
the marks for the first qualification by
examination. for the second and third
qualifications, respectively, by ballot by
the fellow-students of the candidates,
and for the fourth qualification by the
head master of the candidates school,
and OiD the results of the awards (that
is to say, the marks obtained by each
candidate for each qualification) would
be sent AS soon as possible for consid-
GRAFTON to the trustees or to some per-
son or persons appointed to receive the
same, and the person or persons so APP
pointed would ascertain by averaging
the marks in blocks of 20 marks each of
all candidates the best ideal qualified
students.
