MANCHU HATRED RIFE IN CHINA.
Conditions Foreshadow Early Antidy-

TIENTSIN, Dec. IA Journey

north of Honan and Shantung prov

evident antidynastic unrest, which will
probably eliminate in an uprising
against the Manchus. This uprising
will not be confined to the sections Of
China mentioned, but will include a
majority of the eighteen provinces.
This movement is not an ignorant

overt acts are probable in Holman

There is no evidence of Japanese in
fuence, but the situation is serious for

SECTION IN EACH HOMESTEAD.
Martin of South Dakota Wants Law
Extended to His State.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 12.-
Representative Martin has introduced
bill to extend the operation of the
Kinkaid law, which was put in force
kota. 1t provides that entries for $40
acres each, under the homestead law,
may be made in South Dakota, for
lands west of the Missouri river, ex-
cept such as are adapted to irrigation,
are included in forest reserves, or lie
in coded limits of the Rosebud reser-
walton.
South Dakotans say that the Kinkaid
law has been a success in that it has
caused the settlement of large tracts
of land which otherwise would have
remained unoccupied.
The chief distinction between the
Kinkaid law and the ordinary home
stead law is that it permits home
steaders to take up whole sections in
stead of quarter sections of land.
South Dakota members and senators
will push this bill this session.
If there is a public building bill
South Dakota members will endeavor
to have provisions made for buildings
at Mitchell, Huron and WATERFOWL for
which bills were introduced last ses-
sion

MORTON REeukEs NAVY "PULL.'
Secretary Declares Cadets Must Take
Assignments In Regular Order.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 12.-
Merit and not political influence or
official prestige, should alone deter
mine assignments to duty in the navy,
in the opinion of Secretary Morton.
The secretary has addressed a letter to
Superintendent Brownson of the naval
academy expressing his emphatic dis
approval of the efforts to influence the
department in the assignment of mid
shipmen from the class soon to be
graduated to certain ships. The letter
reads:
Officials Are Approached.
THE department has been ap-
preached in various ways directly and
control the assignment of midshipmen,
singly or in groups, from the class
about to be graduated from the naval
academy, to certain ships which they,
or their friends, have been pleased to
specify.
'The department does not hesitate
to express it's disapproval of the spirit
thus evidenced before even the begin
ming of an active career in the service
which seeks to secure duty in accord
ance with individual preference rather
than the good of the service as inter-
preted by the departments order.
Violation Of Principle.
"The violation is of the opinion that
the young gentlemen referred to, are
not fully aware of the gravity of the
attack made by such requests or the
principle involved-that the individual
exists for the good of the service, not
the service for the Northumberland they
should be warned that the department
will regard with disfavor the bringing
of any influence, official, political or So
cial, seeking to control or divert in
their behalf it's order to duty.
The secretary has repeatedly refused
to intervene in the regular assignment
of officers prepared by Rear Admiral
Converse, chief of the bureau of navi-
CATION, and this, he declares, will con-
tinue to be his policy. The depart
ment has full support of the president
in its position.

CHAIRMAN PALMER KEEPING A
CLOSE CHECK ON MOVEMENTS
OF GovERNoR-ELEcT
Will Not Give Other Politicians An OPP
portunity of Entertaining New
Chief Executive.

From friends of E. B. Palmer, chair
man of the republican state commit
tee, comes the story that he purposes
to keep a close check upon the newly
electer governor during the coming
legislative session. 1t is at that time
that most of the appointments made
Palmer wants to be near enough to
Mead to reach the list with his blue
pencil.
1t is declared the chairman of the
republican state committee proposes to
secure quarters in the residence of the
new governor and to reside with him
during the legislative session. OF
course the success of this plan depends
to a great extent upon the willingness
of Mr.. Mead to have Mr. Palmer about
the premises. But politicians believe
that if necessary Palmer would occupy
a tent in the yard.
Ever since the campaign closed
Palmer has been following close upon
the footsteps of Mr. Mead. He has
followed him to Bellingham and trotted
after him to Everett. When Mr.. Mead
has been in Seattle Mr.. Palmer has
been at the train to meet him and
at the hotel to guard him.
Guards Him jealousy.
Mr.. Palmer has guarded the new
governor zealously, and he has raised
any attentions to Mr.. Mead. When
others have sought to entertain the
governor at a dinner or theater party,
Palmer has been on the ground with
"a plan that would keep Mr.. Mead busy
UP to the time of the entertainment
and absorbs his moments after the
other politician was done with him.
Palmer has used the governor once,
at least, to further his own interests
Palmer wants to be chairman of the
judiciary committee of the senate. Re-
alizing that there was every reason
why Lieut-GOv. Coon should not name
him, Palmer first sought to secure
request from King county senators for
the place. This was fatty denied him,
and he turned to Mead.

Mckee, real estate agent who live
in houses on adjoining lats, became in
VOWED in a controversy and the latter
sustained two black eyes. A few days
ago Mckee instituted an action for

$4,000 damages, alleged to have been

Cannot Conceive It.

Cannot Conceive 1t.
Compliance with Palmer's request on
the part of the leutenant-g governor is
a matter incomprehensible to friends
of Mr.. Coon. 1t was Palmer who, at
the instigation of John L. Wilson, made
the bitter fight against Coon, attempt
ing to drive him off the ticket. At no
time during the campaign was Palmer
putting forth any effort in favor of
Coon.
Left to himself the lieutenant-g COVER
nor would not give Palmer any prefer
ment, and his friends cannot under
stand any reason why he should listen
to Mead, for the latter ignored COon's
presence on the ticket even when he
spoke in Coons home town.
The activity of Palmer and his in
reference with Mead's unimpeded
movements are due to the state chair
mans interest in the perennial candi-
dates fight for senator. Despite the
fact that his county endorsed Piles and
that he himself owes his position to
Piles, Palmer is still working on the
outside of the county in Wilson's IN
terests. At home he has refused to
act with the other members of his del
egation. Palmer fears to leave Mead
alone lest Wilson's interests suffer

the place would be lost to him. Mead
was told of the services Palmer claimed
to have performed and urged that his
action was demanded by a political
debt. Finally Mead weakened and
agreed to ask Mr.. Coon to make the
selection, giving it as personal
courtesy to the newly-elected COVER
