Tariff Commissioners Propose to En-
body Articles in Treaty.

SHANGHAI. July 20. = The Chinese
tariff commissioners propose to embody
six articles covering the missionary
question in the new commercial treaty.
The first OF these is that no bad char
acters will be admitted into the church:
second. that lawsuits shall be settled by
the officials without interference by the
missionaries: third, that missionaries
may report cases OF prosecutions;
fourth, that converts shall be only ex-
empt from contributions to festivities
in honor Of idols; they must pay other
government taxes: fifth, the mission
aries shall not conceal bad characters
from justice, and, sixth, property must
be held in the rame of the church. r.
it is not so held the Chinese. in case of
damages. will only pay indemnity for
goods duly registered by local officials.
These proposals. though somewhat
puerile, illustrate the present COM
plants of the Chinese against the mis-

Rev. ]. s. Washburn, pastor OF the
Seventh Day Adventist Church, preach
ed to large audience last night in the

Mr.. Washburn read TO his congrega-
tion all the scripture references. n
which the meetings OF the early Chris

From these he showed that the change
from the seventh day, Sabbath, to the
first day was not warranted.
He argued strongly for the observance
of the seventh day as the Sabbath of
the Bible, and OF Jesus Christ.

CAMP oRDWAY, LEESBURG, Va.
July 2O.-Camp ordway had been sadly
misused by the wind when Secretary
Root. after forty-Inile ride in an army
wagon. arrived from Washington to in

Inasmuch as his approach was unher-

The party had left Washington at I
O'Clock. Secretary Root was desirous
Of experiencing travel under army con-
ditions. and scorned TO make use of a
special train oE the Southern Railroad.
The wagon pitched over the uneven
ground toward headquarters hill. II

visitors had not been expected until
2:30 O'Clock, but the wiry "cayuses"
had negotiated the long distance from

edge Of the camp to headquarters. As

the three modestiy attired generals
were ready TO step down from their
wagon before the camp was aware of
their presence.

time on the path between the mess and

Then the party went back TO head
quarters, and while the blue smoke OF

ries was complimented on the excel

Accompanied by General Harriss and
the staff the party looked over the
camp. and this inspection served only
to increase the admiration of the Of
fioers for the appearance of the hri-
gade.
Brigade Parade Praised.
Brigade parade served. however, to
evoke the warmest praise from the
army officers and from Secretary Root
himself, who has always taken warm
interest In the District soldier boys and
who visited the camp at Gaithersburg
two years ago. The parade was the
best since camp was established. The
detachment OF the Second Cavalry, Z.

der the critical eve OF the Secretary OF
War. They passed in review three times
first at a walk then ut a trot. and as
final touch to their exhibition Captain
Brett ordered the charge. and as the
notes OF the call sounded from the bu

There were over a thousand visitors
in the camp from Leesburg and the
country surrounding.
Secretary Root left for Washington
after the brigade parade. This time
his passage through the camp was more
noticed than before. General Harries
and the general staf clattered to Lees
burg beside the dingy army wagon. and
before parting Secretary Root and the
officers again expressed to General Har-
ries their high opinion u The appear

Great Britain's Reply to the Dutch
Peace Note.

London, Feb. 1.-The British reply
to the Dutch note in regard to bring
ing about peace in South Africa was
dispatched Thursday to The Hague
The contents Of the note are kept Sc
cret, but. the first publication of the
text is intended to be made In parlia-
ment Monday, Feb. 8. The Associated
Press has reason to believe, however,
that its original summary of the Dutch
communication was correct with this
addition, that the Dutch suggested that
Vessels, Wolmarans and Fischer, the
Boer delegates now in Europe, be per-
.mitted to go to South Africa in an en-
deavor to persuade the burghers in
the field to surrender.
Great Britain's reply is not in the
nature of q direct negative, though it
is not unlikely that it will have that
effect. While Lord Lansdowne prob.
ably leaves loophole for further sug-
gestions, he doubts the ability of the
Boer delegates to control their fellow
countrymen. and there seems little
likelihood that the Dutch can secure
guarantees. In regard to the powers Of
