WILL AWAIT A REPORT,


Washington Government Will Heal
What Minister Powell Has to Say.
Washington, Sept. S.-The destruc-
ton of the Crete-a-Pierrot will with
out doubt be made the subject of an
official report to this government by
United States Minister Powell, who
is now at Port-au-Prince. Pending
the receipt of that report there is, in
the opinion of officials here who have
kept in touch with affairs, little
likelihood of any action by the state
department, and, indeed, judging from
the character of the instructions
transmitted through the navy depart
ment to Commander McCrea, of the
Machias, there will be little DISPOSE
ton to question the business of the
treatment accorded Admiral Killick.
While the state department has not
adopted the German view that Killick
was a pirate. it has, on the basis of
it's own instructions to Commander
McCrea, never admitted his right to
interfere with foreign shipping. 1t,
however, did entertain a doubt as to
whether Killick was privileged to OPP
crate as he did in the last of the
Markomannia, provided the seizure
was made within the tnree-mile limit
and also within Haytien waters.
However, any question that might
arise as to the legality of the action
of the commander of the Panther is
one that the state department proba-
bly, will regard as solely between the
government of Germany and of Hay.
ii, and as the latter government has
already denounced hlllick as a pirate
and had besought Commander McCrea
to seize his ship, it is certain to make
no issue on this matter.

Roosevelt Has Nothing to Say,

soon as the dispatch from Cape Hay
ten was received here Sunday night
it was shown to President Roosevelt,
while he was in church. A reporter

AT BRIDGEPORT, CONN.
He Met Mrs. Roosevelt and His Son
Kermit.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Sept. 3.-Presi.
dent Roosevelt ended his tour of New
England here Wednesday, after his
thrilling experience at Pittsfeld,
Mass. He remained about IN hour
and half and was escorted to a stand
in Seaside park, where he had intend
ed delivering an address to workmen.
He, however, excused himself from
making any speech because of the ac-
cident, and at his request his carriage
was hurried away from it's escort to
enable him to board the Sylph, where
Mrs. Roosevelt and his son Kermit
embraced him.
Hearty Greeting mt PittsfeId.
After bidding farewell to Dalton
Wednesday morning, the president,
with Gov. Crane and Secretary Cortel-
you, went across the country to Pitts
field, where he received a hearty
| greeting. His remarks were confined
largely to a dissertation in the spirit
| which actuated those who entered the
Union army in 1861, drawing the les
son that if this same spirit was
shown now there would be better citi.
zenship.
Passed Through Lenox in Hence.
Lenox was reached about 11:15, and
his passage through the town, which
had made elaborate preparations for
his entertainment, was in silence. He
tarried but a moment, the swelling
on his right cheek causing him con-
siderable discontinue, but not to dis
appoint the people he spoke a few
words to them, telling Of the acct
dent, and saying that he would make
no address. He then passed on to
~Stockbridge, where, too, the people
were ready to make his entry into the
city a notable occasion. Speaking
from his carriage, his right eye al
most closed and getting very black,
he said that for the same reasons CIV
en- at Lenox he would be unable to
deliver an address.
A Pathetic Departure.
The departure of the president from
Stockbridge was pathetic. There were
no cheers, no waving of flags or hand
kerchiefs, only a word here and there
to break the death-like silence. Brief
stops were made at Great harrington,
Mass, and New Milford, Conn.
On the way here DR.. Lung applied
hot cloths to the presidents face,
which reduced the swelling consider.

PORT OF NEW YORK.
Attempt in It's Defense to Curb Power
of Railroads,

New York, Feb. 5.-The New York
Produce Exchange has had a bill in
troduced In the state senate which, If
enacted, will afford some remedy for
the alleged discrimination of railroads
against the port of New York. The bill
is entitled "An act regulating charges
by common carriers. enlarging the
powers of the railroad commission and
providing for the enforcement of its
recommendations" The bill provides
that rates charged by common carriers
for the transportation of passengers
or property and for all terminal. ser
vices shall be just and reasonable. 1t
prohibits any differential or greater
rate in the transportation and delivery
of property at the port of New York
than is charged for the same service at
any other Atlantic port. The main OBJ
ject is said to be to curb the power OF
the railroads to cripple this port.
1t is understood that the effort to in
duce lake steamship lines to stop pay
ing commissions has again proved a
failure, and while their passenger de-
partments will during the coming sum
mer, probably have exchange of bust
ress with railroads. the relations of the
two interests Will remain unsatisfac-
tory to the railroads. This does not
necessarily mean that rupture is
probable, for neither can affo/d to be-
gin an open fight. The threats of war
which were heard last year are, how
ever, again renewed

RICH STRIKE OF COPPER.
Marquette Mon Cut a Vein at Thirty
Feet Which Nav Make Them Rich.

Marquette, Mich, Feb. 5.-A rich
strike OF copper. which also carries
some gold and silver. has been made at
the Daniels property of the Sauk's
Head region, where for some time past
company of Marquette men have been
quietly conducting exploratory opera
tons. The assays show from to "a
per cent copper. with $1.79 GOLD and
$1.70 silver to the ton.
The width of the vein, which has
been proven by test-pitting to extend
across the property. a distance of about
a mile. has not as yet been determined.
However, crosscut has been driven in
twenty feet, with still no indications of
the foot wall, and the syndicate thinks
it has bonanza. The vein was cut at
depth of thirty feet and has a dip
of forty five degrees.
Outcroppings of copper had been
found at various times in that locality
In pas. years, but no systematic eX-
ploratory work was undertaken until
recently. 1t is designed to prove up the
property on big scale. The vein mat
ter consists of ore, in contrast 10 the
native copper rock mined in Houghtor
and Ontonagon counties, and is similar
to that found in the west, but much
richer. The report of the strike has
caused excitemene here.

DEVELOPMENT IN CHINA.
The Empire Awakening 70 the Posi-
biIities of Modern Methods.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Secretary Will
son has received report from David g.
Fairchild. the expert OF the department
of agriculture. who with Mr.. Lathrop.
wealthy New Yorker, Is exploring the
| world for new plans for introduction
into this country. The report is dated
at Colombo. Ceylon, and discusses gem
eral conditions in China. He says the
missionaries frightened out by the re-
cent troubles are returning to their
posts and that foreign merchants claim
the outlook for trade improvement is
very favorable in the region of Shang
hal. American trade, he says. is more
than holding it's own against that Of
other countries. but adds: "Japan's
trade has greatly increased in China of
late and she is not only an active but
may become dangerous competitor"
| Mr.. Fairchild went to Canton in
search of the south Chinese peaches
and plums. scions and trees of which
he announces he has shipped here, to-
gether with some promising Leitchees
bamboos and persimmons for Califor-
pia and Florida. He says producers and
shippers in China and Japan are much
interested in the final outcome of the
experiments of this government In the
home production of tea, but apparently
are skeptical and believe the cost of
producing Is too great for the industry
TO succeed here. The American occu-
patton of Manila has led to remarka-
BILE increase in prices of labor, hotel
accommodations and food products In
China. Coolies wages have greatly in
ct 1n
ish-American war and important new
enterprises complain of scarcity of
labor. Hotel prices are so per cent
higher than before the war and the
residents claim that the general cost of
living has doubled in the last five years
The Chinese government, to pay It's war
Indemnity, has levied q tax of Ameri-
lean cents year on each rafter of every
house in the country. Foreigners all
ready pay about per cent advalorum
on practically everything imported. The
viceroy in Hong Kong is already hav-
Ing great difficulty in collecting the
taxes. while people living there say that
the tax on the natives Is arousing a
great deal of animosity toward the for
eigners.
THE growth of our agricultural as
well as other exports to China" Mr..
Fairchild predicts, will be phenome
nal one and include many classes OF
canned and dried goods from our or
| chards. and preserved meats and dairy
products from our farms and ranches"

recognize the course things are taking.

GREAT REFORM IN CHINA.
Empress Practically Forbids the Gus
tom of Binding Girls Feet.

London. Feb. 4.-The dowager en-
press of China has just issued an edict,
in which she directs all officials, by
diplomatic means, to discourage the
binding of the feet of Chinese females,
saving the custom is barbarous.
AS a suggestion of this nature is tan
tamount to command. the unspeaka-
BILE cruelties inflicted upon the Chinese
women. dwarting not only their feet but
their intellect, are to cease.
In addition, she has decreed that
bright young men between 10 and ~
years of age are to be selected and sent
abroad to the best seats of learning.
the object being to employ them as IN
structors when they return.
The dowager made 1t plain upon her
return to Pekin that vital reforms We're
to be inaugurated. The first indication
was the unusual and unheard-of atten-
ton to the foreigners. who were not on
ly permitted to witness the triumphal
entry of the court, but were provided
with the choicest house along the line
OF march.
Then followed the first formal recep-
ton. when the ministers, for the first
time in history. were received by the
emperor as representatives of mon
archs equalling himself in rank A few
days later the dowager entertained the
ladies and children of the foreign rep
resentatives, according them all the
privileges granted in any court In the
world. She not only shook hands and
conversed with the ladies, but warmly
greeted the children and bestowed val
liable presents upon them.
Dispatches from Pekin announce that
she has issued an edict aboishing the
prohibition of inter- marriage between
Manchus and Chinese, a rule that has
been enforced with the utmost rigidity
ever since the beginning of the dy-
nasty.
To realize the tremendous effect and
Importance of these reforms, one must
remember that each of them does away
with some feature which heretofore
has stood between China and the civil
lied world. They show that the inn
periai court means to get in close COM
munication with the outside world and
learn the best it has to offer. At the
same time China is casting off customs
and rules which have hampered her
for centuries.
