COMPANY .C-sI

Passed an Excellent Inspection and

ALL REPORTS TO Be SUPPRESSED.
SFrom a stan Correspondent

CFrom Stan Correspondent.)
Columbus, March I'm order to
avoid repetition of the bitter ami
mosities and disgraceful incidents
which followed the publication Of the
report of the inspection of the Marion
National Guard company, Adjutant-
General George r. Gyger has decided
to suppress all future reports of mill
tary Inspections. The fact that such
an order had been promulgated by the
department was brought out yester-
day by request for publication of the
report of the inspection of Company
@, Eighth infantry, Canton, by Major
Thomas j. Kirkpatrick, of the Third
infantry, of Canton, made several days
ago. Adjutant-General Gyger said the
report would not be given to the pub
lie. He declared that It had always
been his policy to give out business
of the department not of private ma
ture and that he regretted cicum-
stances were such as to compel him to
deviate from this custom. You know
1t would not do to give out report
when charges are pending against
you," he remarked with a smile, hav-
ing in mind the statement Of Colonel
A. B. Colt of the Fourth regiment, who
declared through the newspapers that
he had flied charges against the adj
jutant-general's department for pub
fishing the report of the Marion inspec-
ton. The adjutant-general has re-
ceiyed no official notice of the filing
Of any such charges and he is not al
lowing the matter to lose him any
sleep.
From very trustworthy source IL
has been learned that Major Kirkpat-
rick's report shows that Company e,
of Canton, passed an excellent inspec-
ton. Property found missing at an in
spection several weeks ago was ac-
counted for in full at the second in.
spection and matters generally were
found to be in a satisfactory condition.
The movement for a new armory
promises TO be successful and there is
no longer any danger that it be neces-
sary to muster the company out of
the service because of any shortcom-
ings as was feared on the occasion of
the preceding inspection.

HORRORS OF BOXER
CRUELT|ES TOLD
Rev. Uncraft, Like q Martyr of
Old Was Beaten and
Stoned In Chinese
Riots.

Rev. William M. Upcraft whose talks
on Chinese mission work have aroused
SO much interest and appreciation
among local citizens, has been tho
witness, and in several cases the VIC
tim, of Chinese cruelties. In conver-
SETON with a News-Democrat report
er, he said:
"In 'S5 while on a tour in mis-
sion work | met with rough treat
ment at the hands of Chinese mobs
in two or three places where foreign
ers were a rarity.
Some parts OF China are very pro-
nourced in their opposition to any
thing foreign, either men or machines,
nothing that comes from foreign
source is wanted at all and in the dis
trict was in this feeling was very
bitter. The populace gathered and
threw us out of the city then stoned
and otherwise maltreated us, stripped
off all our clothes and then left us to
crawl away into a beggar's den to
await Developments.
Some friendly Chinese got me away
and hid for q couple of days in lit
tie village when we tried to get of
TO our home IL days distant.
"The second day in coming to an
other town we met even worse treat
ment than at the last one. Beaten,
stripped, bones broken, with bowling
mob at our heels we were thrown our
OF the city into the hands of crowd
Of country folk whose cupidity had
been aroused by fables of our wealth.
After a long time of threatening
and suspense, night put an end to the
thing and we hid away in little peas
ant cottage.
STRANGE SUPERSTITIONS.
'"The absurd rumors that spread
everywhere in China regarding the oc-
cult powers of foreigners are respon-
sible very often for the bad treatment
Ithe Chinese show to people who are
not born in China.
STORIES of baby killing and eating,
of the gouging out of peoples eyes
with which to make medicine, Of
the dark deeds of photographers and
so on. are freely circulated among the
people and duly believed.
Some change in this respect is conf
ing over the band but the mass of peo-
pie is SO great it will necessarily be
a long time before these rumors can
be wholly eradicated.
"Tho introduction of foreign ele-
ments in the shape of machinery and
other manufactured articles, the OPEN
ing of the whole country to foreign
commerce and unrestricted intercourse
with foreign people will tend to bet
ter feelings all along
WANT TO SPEAK ENGLISH.
"Since the boxer movement, there
has come a great change among the
scholars of the empire. The demand
row is for foreign education and every
where there is q desire to learn the
English tongue. This alone is a great
advantage to our position in either
diplomacy or commerce. America
stands in the best possible position for
the future development of China.
This will be the greatest ad-
vantage to both sides. The Chinese
need just what we cen supply to them,
while from them we shall take what
we need in our life on this side.
"On the whole the future holds good
things for Chinese and America will
be the friend to the peaceful develop-
ment of a new China"

Panama, Colombia.-The revolution
which has been quietly planned since
the rejection of the canal treaty by the
Colombia Congress broke out when the
independence of the IsthmuS was pro-
claimed. A large crowd, made up Of
all political parties. marched to the
headquarters of the Government
troops, where Generals Tovar and
Amaya were imprisoned in the name
of the Republic of Panama. No resist
ance was made.
The enthusiasm of the people was

Panama fav0rs the movement, which
is also thought to meet with the ap-
proval of at least two Of the Govern
ment transports.
Should the revolution succeed the
way will be open for renewed negotia-
tons with the United States for the
canal, which the residents of the De-
partment of Panama heartily favor.

Life really consists in little things. The
difference between a smile and a frown
may seem very little, but It is Indicative
of very different conditions of spirit.

of "every time is indeed a wise man. It
