trouble to ask his fellow residents Of

ton given below, he would obtain the
one answer. If he should read the

WAR FEARED IN CHINA.
Uncle Sam Making Preparations to
Protect His Interests There.

Uncle Sam Making Preparations to
Protect His Interests There.
Signs of governmental activity are in
terpreted by army and navy officers to
mean that the United States believes
serious trouble in China is in sight and
is preparing to make an imposing show
of force with view of preserving peace
and preventing, or at least delaying, the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Chinese empire.
Trouble is expected in two directions.
A general uprising of the anti-foreign
Chinese is feared and a row over Man
churia that might possibly end in a
clash between two or more European
powers is threatened, according to the be-
lief of many. They do not believe this
country will become involved in any war,
but they do believe that the administra-
ton, following the guidance of Secretary
Hay, has decided to go much further
than has generally been anticipated in an
effort to prevent war.
Rear Admiral Evans in recent reports
to the Navy Department has plainly
stated his convictions that grave trouble
in China is impending. His urgent sug-
gestion that the marines assembled at
Manila to be sent home shall not be re-
moved until their places have been filed
is accepted as evidence that tie depart
ment shares his fears.
More than this, it is said that the
general board of the navy, of which Ad-
miral Dewey is the head. is working out
a plan whereby the navy viii be able to
make a formidable showing in Chinese
waters if the necessity arises. Admiral
Evans now has a large part of his biz
feet off the coast of China and he in
tends TO keep it there. He has two bat
tleships with him, and the battleship
Wisconsin, which was sent hurrying
across the Pacific after being over
hauled at Bremerton. will join TIE
Chinese squadron in a few days. The
cruisers Cincinnati, Albany and Raleigh,
which were detached from the European
squadron, are on their way to Manila
and may be sent TO China.
If the Chinese uprising which Admiral
Evans feaIs should come he viii be well
prepared to protect American interests
along the coast.

ACiN Va NSAhtCH w Disappointing
Corn Is Very Late.
The weather bureaus weekly summary
Of crop conditions is as follows:
While still too cool in the districts east
of the Rocky Mountains, the tempera-
ture conditions of the week ended June
- were somewhat more favorable in the
central valleys and Southern States, but
over portions Of the lake region and mid
die Atlantic States and in New England
1t was colder than in the preceding week
Heavy rains in the last two districts in
terrupted farm work, but in the Ohio and
upper Mississippi valleys and gulf States
the conditions were very favorable for
cultivation.
Rain is now needed in the Dakotas,
northern MINI esota, and in portions of
the central and east gulf districts.
A general improvement in the condition
of corn in the central valleys is indi-
Gated, especially over the western por-
tions. In ali northern and central dis
tricts corn continues very late, but is in
good state of cultivation, except in the
middle Atlantic States. In the Southern
States early corn is largely laid by, and
Is nearing maturity in Texas.
Winter wheat harvest has made fav-
orable progress, and is now general in
the central portions of the winter wheat
belt, with disappointing yields, especial
ly in the southern portions of Missouri,
Illinois and Indiana.
Spring wheat is suffering for rain in
North Dakota and portions of South Da-
kota, and is affected by rust quite gen.
orally in Nebraska. In these last two
States, however, the crop, as a rule, is
doing well, and in Minnesota, Wisconsin,
and Iowa continues in promising condi-
ton, In Washington the crop has inn
proved where moisture has been suffi-
Gent.
The outlook for oats is less promising
In the Dakotas, Nebraska, northern Min
nesota and southern Illinois. In Wiscon-
sin, Kansas, on uplands in Iowa, and in
northern Illinois good crop is promised.
An improvement is reported from Mich
igan, the Ohio valley and the middle At
lantic States.
Cotton continues small but its general
condition is somewhat improved.
In New England tobacco needs warmth
and sunshine, but elsewhere the crop
has made favorable progress, except in
North Carolina and portions of Virginia.
In Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, In
diana and Pennsylvania apples are I'M
promising, but the outlook continues fav-
orable in Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and
Kentucky. In New York the prospects
vary from poor to good. In the Virginias
and Ohio an improvement is reported.
Recent rains have caused marked
improvement in grass in New England
and the middle Atlantic States, but the
crop will be light.

AIabaman Pleads Guilty to Holding
Negroes in Peona0e.

J. w. Pace of Tallapoosa, Ala, a
wealthy planter, was found guilty in the
federal court of holding negroes in in
voluntary seryitude and given five years
in prison. He pleaded guilty to each of
eleven indictments, but owing to the ad-
vanced age of the convicted man he was
sentenced to serve punishment concur
rently, making his Imprisonment a sim
gle fve-year term. The case was APP
pealed to test and defendant released on
bail of $1,000.
Pace was charged with holding in
treated cruelty on PAGES farm, many be-
ing brutally whipped. 1t Is said that
Owens Green, a negro, was whipped so
severely that many bones in his body
were broken and that his power of speech
was interfered with.
When Pace made his statement to the
judge he acknowledged that he was gull
ty. He said 81 plead guilty to the Of
lenses and would like your honor to be
merciful." The judge then asked him
if he had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed upon him and he
replied in the negative.
At Macon, Ga, in the United States
Court, Judge Speer imposed a fine of ST.
600 each on three young men, William
Shy, Arthur Clawson and Robert Tur-
ner, for holding negro in involuntary
servitude. He suspended the fine under
conditions, and so doing the court said:
SIN view of the fact that it is the
first crime of the kind which ever he's
occurred in Georgia, and because of the
frank confession of the young men, SEN
tence is imposed in order t. corrvihce the
public that the purpose of the court is
to warn and deter others from like crime.
During good behavior fine is suspended
upon payment of 500 each"
The offense was that the young men,
who are farmers, caught a negro who
was in debt to them, gave him a whip
ping and made him go to work for them.
Judge Speer said that the problem of
the times could not be solved by harsh
measures and wanted it distinctly under
stood that the laws of Georgia were
against sach treatment.
