PREDICTS ANOTHER WAR.
American Says China Is Openly Violating
the Protocol.

New York. Jan. 2.-Charles f.
Cannon, perintendent of colpor-
teurs for the American Bible Society
in Northern China, writes to the
society concerning the present situa
ton in the Chinese empire as follows
while at Shanghai observed that
the Chinese government was openly
violating the provisions of the proto-
col. The great empire would shake
off European domination. Thou
sands of boatloads of small arms and
ammunition were passing weekly up
the Iangtse kiang and the arsenals
were being enlarged and worked day
and night. Cargoes OF explosives
were being received, and the dowager
empress had issued instructions to all
officials to recruit the army, and also
to inform her as to the fighting
strength OF each division and the
time required to concentrate the
forces at a given point =.

one is the use of improper crates anu
the other crowding of the fowls in the
crates. In the first case. sometimes the
crates used are too heavy and some
times too light The last error is maze
usually by poultrymen who have peeh
in the habit of shipping more or less
breeding stock and who use light crates
to save transportation charges over
long distances. The heavy crates are
generally used by farmers and are
made of any loose material they happen
to have on the farm. The crates should
always be as light as it is possible, ana
still have it strong enough to bear
rough handling, and each fowl in 1t

TURNING BONDS INTO CASH
Carnegie Making His Gift to the Government
Available.

New York, Jan. l.-Itris reported
on Wall street that at an auction sale
by Adrain II. Muller x Co., per
cent bonds OF the Carnegie Steel Com
pany sold at lib rs. say the Journal.
Andrew Carnegie rendered $40, 600, 600
in these bonds to the government for
the Washington Memorial University
for Original Research and the sale is
believed by some to indicate that Mr..
Carnegie has begun to convert the
bonds into money in order that the
government should be relieved from
any embarrassment on account of the
bonds. At the price realized, the
$40, GOO, 600 in bonds would I've equiv.
alent to 81 3S1, 800, a substantial in

Winter Protection of Bee Hives.

After the bees have stopped their fall
flying the hives should be set in a row,
facing south, with about six inches of
space between the hives. Drive few
stakes between and in front of the
hives at an angle of about forty-five
degrees, SO that when boards are plac-
ed across them the lower edges of the
boards will rest against the hives just
above the entrance. Then pack leaves
over the hives and between them, doing
the work thoroughly; the board will
prevent the packing material from clos
ing the entrance. Cover the leaves
with straw to considerable depth.
Dig trench along the back of the
hives, forming a ridge against the hives
that will shed water and keep it from
getting in ~ the bottom of the hives.
This is very simple plan. yet gives
ample protection, while. by using the
board in front, the opening of the hive
receives all the sunlight there may be
during the winter. Should the winter
be unusually severe, more straw may
be added from time to time during the
winter to obtain the needed warmth.

eve hope that this opinion" says
the Beriner Neuste Nachrichten,
(which grew out OF the Spanish war,
and which we consider to be wholly
erroneous, will soon give place to II
more correct conception of Germany's
aims. 1t is quite unreasonable that
the people of the United States, hold
ing such opinion, should connect
this opinion with their Venezuelan
affair, inasmuch as Washington has
been fully informed of Germany's
intentions"
The Lokal Anzeiger says: "The
task for our diplomacy is to make
German interests prevail against Ven
ezuela without at the same time los
ing touch with the American govern
ment. The authorities at Washing
ton have up to the present time
shown such an intelligent compre-
hension of the situation and friendly
disposition towards Germany's wishes
that no grounds for apprehension ex-
lists at this point"
Replying to Germany's assurance
to the United States regarding the
formers plans in connection with
Venezuela, the foreign office here has
received an answer from Secretary
Hay, expressing full satisfaction with
the German position. Germany still
hopes to collect her claims peaceably.

Building Il Small Ice House.

If ice is readily obtainable during the
winter. there should be small ice
house on every farm, holding enough to
last through the summer. A cheap
house may be built by making an ex-
cavdtion in circular form. ten feet
deep, walling it with brick or stone, or
even heavy planking, and having the
wall come up two or three feet above
the surface of the ground. On this
wall is built the top which may be
round or octagon and running to a
sharp point. This wooden portion NAV
be built of rough lumber. door is
fitted in one side and around the out
side the soil is mounded up under the
caves and back for several feet to form
a perfect watershed. In packing the
ice air must be excluded. and this rule
is as applicable to an expensive ice
house as to a cheap one. Sawdust is
the best packing material and should
be used in liberal quantities both be-
tween the cakes of ice and as a LAYER
over the top. If the ice is properly
packed it will keep well in the very in
expensive structure described.

make a man or woman wise. it counts
for but little. We often see cases where

dairying and have since never tried to
get out of the rut. The most conscen-

consistency of thick paint by the addi-
ton of strong solution of washing

The Carnegie Institution.

In another part Of today's Star will be
found a communication from the Rev.
Frank SewaN. recognized by Washingto-
an intelligent grasp of large questions. He
writes to deprecate the tone of the an
nouncements which convey to the public
the scope Of the proposed Carnegie institu-
tion, urging that this establishment should
be regarded from the outset as national in
it's character and as a university in the
broadest and best meaning of that term.
The declaration Of purpose on the part OF
the founders Mr.. Sewali says. is apologetIc
and Is not in true harmony with the ideals
Of George Washington. who first proposed
an institution at the seat of government to
represent the highest American education.
Mr. Sewalls letter is an interesting and
valuable contribution to the thought on this
subject, at an important juncture In the de-
velopment of the plans. He writes from
the viewpoint of an earnest American who
conceives that 1t is strictly within the PROV
ince of the government to engage in the
immediate direction of the educational pro-
cesses through the agency Of It's own works
and facilities. There are many who feel
that this view might properly have pre-
plans, although 1t Is recognized that to in
sure the most satisfactory results at the
outset there must be close relationship
and cooperative understanding between
the new institution and the already estab-
lished seats of learning under strictly pri-
vate management.

under whom he has served the soundest Of
advice and has conducted the affairs of his
own department with a business-like dt-
rectness and grasp productive of excellent
results His return to active journalism in
sures the continued application of his great
ability to the solution of the large ques-
tions affecting the republic. and 1t is prob
able that his service In the cabinet will
have Increased his already large usefulness
to the country in his professional field.
The new Postmaster General enters Office
with every evidence of thorough fitness for
the position. He is known as vigorous
man of affairs. of temperament calculated
to make for him friends In his new environ
ment. He is representative Of vast western
interests in his immediate personal outlook.
His prestige as a political worker has
somewhat overshaaowed his reputation as
a successful business man, and also the
fact that he is peculiarly fitted to assume
charge of the great postal machinery by
reason OF his service as postmaster of MIL
waukee for a. number Of years. Mr.. Payne
is likely to assume conspicuous position
in national affairs from the outset Of his
official career. He will presumably stand
close personally to the President. as did
his predecessor, and will be of great service
to him along lines outside of his immediate
sphere OF official activity.

garded. There has been a notable diminu-
tion Of confident peace talk from continen-
tai sources of late, although rumors have
accredited Boer agents with activity in the
line of securing satisfactory terms from
the British government. The military op-
erations have followed the usual course OF
occasional British losses and Boer captures
or surrenders. with Lord Kitchener plan
ming comprehensive movements to catch
Botha or De Wet only to find his schemes
blocked at critical times by unexpected
maneuvers by the agile burghers. If the
end of the war is distinctly in sight 1t must
be by reason OF negotiations with those
who are able to dictate the acquiescence
of the Beer forces now in the field.

America at the Coronation.

On Saturday last, in approving the propo-
stion to send q special ambassador to
the coronation of King Edward, and In
congratulating the President on the ma
terial from which he would be able to
choose, The Star said
Presumably he will seek one not only
of representative character and capacity-a
good American whom all his countrymen
respect-but Of large experience in matters
of state ceremony, and of easy and accom-
pliShed personal address. And when this
man goes across the water he will bear
with him the good will of the American
people for the English people, and their
hearty hope for the new soyereign's health
and happiness"
Even then it might have been added that
the public expected the appointment OF Mr..
Whitelaw Reid The appointment is made,
and the President and the country are to
be congratulated on his choice. The mis-
sion in Mr.. Reid's hands will lack for
nothing calculated to lend distinction to
the United States on an occasion Of world
wide interest. His personal address, his
experience in matters of diplomacy and
ceremonial, and his wide acquaintance
among the public men Of Europe, will COM
bine to make him prominent figure in
even so unusual gathering. Nor will the
English be less pleased than are we our
selves. Mr.. Reid Is well remembered by
them as the American representative at
tha diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria. He
will be welcomed in London both as an ac-
complished man and as friend Of the En-
glish people.
Mr.. Reid's two associates are worthy of
his company. General Wilson Is one of
our most brilliant soldiers, and illustrates
in his ACCOMPLISHMENTS and career how
easily the American passes from the mill
tary to the civil life and back again, and
shows good mettle wherever placed. Cap
tain Clark is truly a hero among our sail
ors; and as the representative Of our navy
to the nation whose boast 1t is that she
rules the wave,' he will add interest to
the arm of our service which in the last
few years has awakened 50 much admira-
ton at home and abroad
The United States then will move easily
through the scene which is to focus uni
versal attention In June. We are on good
terms with all the world, and were never on
better terms with Great Britain than at
present. The coronation viii operate as a
sort Of peace promoter. All nations will
be represented, and for a season, as the
result Of the interchange of civilities, a
wave OF good feeling will roll around the
globe. The millennium will not follow, but
some permanent general good ought to,
