TO REMODEL CHINA'S ARMY
EMPRESS ISSUES DECREE.
Yuan Shi Kai in Supreme Command
Doubt of Success.

Picking. Dec San edict issued to-day ap-
points Prince Ching. the Grand Secretary Yuan
Shi Kai the Governor of Pe-Chi-Li Province ana
a Manchu official to be a committee to reor-
ganize the armies of all the Chinese provinces
on a national basis, with similar arms equip
ments and organization.
While the edict indicates that the Empress
Dowager has some appreciation of her countrys
needs, there is no reason 10 anticipate greater
results than from the recent similar DEGREES
relative to financial, educational and other re-
forms. Yuan Shi Kai is the only member OF
the committee who is competent to undertake
the work but he. like Prince Ching, is over
burdened with other offices.
Prince Ching continues to be optimistic on the
subject OF the restoration Of Manchuria. He
tells the officials here that the Gar favors it's
evacuation, and although Vceroy Alexieff de-
sires it's annexation, the Car, according to
Prince Ching, will overrule him.
Prince Ching, with other Chinese officials, is
apprehensive of the results OF the British ad-
vance in Thibet. The native press fears 1t is
a step toward partition. which the other powers
may initiate.
Reports from Moukden say that numbers of
Russian civilians settling there The new

recent reoccupation OF that city by the Russians

or Of Pe-Chi-M Province, received a telegram
from the throne this afternoon promoting him

desire to state that an examination of the

while 1 am personally opposed to exer-
cising wide latitude in the exemption OF
property from taxation, 1t is very evident
that the presidents of the Commissioners
favor the present appeal of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, and to deny
the appeal would be to discriminate unfair
ly against this organization. The five cases
of exemption already noted have been con-
sidered as being fully within the law; 80
there can be no question as to constituting
the statute in favor of the Womans Chris

assessor upon the matter. move that an
order exempting the real property of the

used for charitable, religious and educa-

city. The quarries on the east slope of the
hill furnish the light granite. and the dark
granite is confined to the west slope. The
white stone Is found In sheets, while the
dark granite is in large irregular masses,
but with well-defned planes of cleavage
The size Of monoliths which any of these
quarries can supply, he says, is limited only
by the possibilities of transportation. In
closing his report he says:
my impressions of all the Barre quarries
were distinctly favorable. and when the
conditions do not demand a white stone,
the granite is in every respect excellent
for building purposes

pacity of the quarry to fill a large con-
tract. At present the stone must be hauled
by team to Bethel for shipment he salo'
however, that he is informed negotiations
are in progress for the construction OF a
railroad connecting the quarry with the
tracks of the Vermont Central line at Beth
ell. He understands that the construction
of this road is dependent upon the Ellis
quarry securing the contract for furnish
ing the stone for the Washington union
station:
at is my understanding" says Capt.
Harding that the contract calls for the
delivery of 10000 cubic feet of dimension
stone by July /, 1905. Allowing six months
time for providing the necessary equipment
and developing the quarry on large scale.
and for constructing the railroad to the
quarry, the average delivery would have to
be about 1000 cubic feet per day. or say,
80 900 cubic feet per month. This Is deemed
to be a very large output and Is more than
twice the monthly average during the past
year of a large, well developed quarry in
active operation at Barre. In view, how
ever, of the favorable situation Of the
Bethel quarry and of the possibility OF OPP
Grating large number Of derricks without
Interference with each other. and In spite
of the present undeveloped condition of the
quarry, can see no physical impossibility
in the way Of filling the contract in the
time specified"
He states that he learned from independ-
ent sources at Barre, VT, that with proper
equipment of machinery and full compile
ment of quarrymen one derrick should. un-
der favorable conditions, get out 5000 Gu
