CHINA FOR The CHINESE
Object to Movement on Part Of 0rientsls
Educated in America,
BOYCOTT MAY Be PERMANENT WEAPON
India May Feel Eject of Anger Of
Natives over Action of british
Assessor I'm Furnishing
Women.

| PEkIN, Dec. 2I.-The most conservative
and best Informed foreigners agree in eX-
| pressing apprehension at the constantly
growing irritation of the Chinese against
! foreigners, which for nine months has been
| gradually spreading through the country.
! China for the Chinese" summarizes the
| objects Of the movement. among the chief
| promoters OF which are male students
educated abroad and newspapers conducted
| by Chinese. who have been educated in
America and Europe These papers are be-
! ginning to gain great influence. The anti
/ American boycott has been followed by a
! discussion Of China $ wrongs at the hands
| of foreigners generally and determination
! TO redress them. The hostility shown
| against Americans has now extended to all
| foreigners. The Chinese are pleased ut the
| result Of the boycott in producing concilia-
tory orders from President Roosevelt, but
| the boycott is nowise ended and It is as
| serted here, continues seriously to affect
| American trade in the Canton and Yangtse
regions.
The Chinese are so satisfied with the
| movement that they are talking of the boy
| colt as permanent weapon for the ma
| tionel armory The newspapers advocate
the boycott of Indian opium because OF the
court at Shanghai in ordering the impris-
| onment of Chinese women in the municipal
Jail instead of in the Chinese prison, which
caused the recent disturbances there. One
result OF the present movement is to dis
/ courage concession hunting The govern
ment has adopted a policy of Chinese con-
! troll of railroads, mines and similar enter
prises, refusing to grant new concessions
and trying to regain or annul several con-
cessions previously granted.
Some Foreigners Sympathetic.
! While many foreigners sympathize with
/ the objects OF the agitation, they realize
| the danger of inflammatory speeches and
| articles in the newspapers leading to mob
! uprtsings like that at Shanghai and the
! recent massacre of American missionaries
at Lienchau. Regarding the Shanghai in
cident the ministers of the powers have
practically decided that tho municipal off,
GERS exceeded their rights under the treaties
! and will direct the to recede from their
position. There is no doubt that the aggres-
/ sive spirit OF the Chinese has been decidedly
! increased by the late war and the successful
maneuvers Of the Chinese northern army in
/ October. Japans victory has encouraged
! the Chinese to believe that they could be
equally successful Foreigners living in
cities where the government is strong are
assured of protection. but the danger of the
present situation lies in possible friction
between foreigners and Chinese where the
officials are weak or Indifferent, leading to
further outbreaks The proposed with
drawal of the remaining international
troops in the spring has been meeting with
opposition since the Shanghai riots.

Against Rate Reduction.

Atlanta, Ga.-The recent proposition
of ]. Pope Brown, chairman of the
Georgia railroad commission, to reduce
the passenger rate in Georgia from
three to two cents per mile was pro-
tested against by the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, the Order Of
Railway Conductors, and unions Of the
blacksmiths, machinists and telegraph
ers, boilermakers, railway trainmen,
carpenters and joiners, clerks and car
men. These organizations employed
an attorney especially to represent
them, who urged that such reduc-
ton would work against the prosperi-
ty OF the state and lead to reduc-
ton in the number of railroad en-
ployes as well as Of their wages. The
Travellers Protective association also
protested that reduction as proposed
would result in fewer trains and poor
service.

strikes the river at Santa Fe, runs I'D
the river seven miles and passes under
one OF the great concrete arches Thence
it continues on up the river four miles,
gradually swinging around until it has
reached the great concrete approaches.
The line has planned cutoff from
Tamms that will greatly shorten this
loop.
Chicago has shared largely in the
work attending the construction of the
bridge. The engineers are Noble & Mod
jeski, w. E. Angler being the resident
engineer. Most of the contractors were
from Chicago and much of the material
came from Chicago, Illinois and Indi-
ana, the cut stone being taken from the
famous Bedford quarries of the HoosieI
state.

PAINFUL SC|AT|CA
EVERY SUFFERER WANTsTHE VERY
QUICKEST CURE.

mr.. Donovan Thinks the Remedy Used by
Him with Such Remarkable Success
the Best-Cured by Five Boxes.
"Men who have to do difficult and
dangerous work on electric lines at any
hour of day or night, can t afford to have
anything the matter with their health"
said Mr.. Donovan. You can imagine,
therefore, how much was alarmed one
winters day in 1902. when I was seized
by a pain just behind my right hip that
made it difficult for me to walk home.
1t was SO bad by the time reached the
house that I was obliged to go straight
to bed"
Did that relieve you ?"
Ono, the pain grew more severe and
kept extending downward along my leg.
I sent for physician, and he soon de-
cided that had sciatica. In few days
the whole nerve was affected, and the
least movement brought on terrible
agony"
Ibid your condition improve under
the doctors treatment?"
"Quite the contrary. At ths end of
two months wasn't bit better, and at
times feared that would never be
able to leave my bed"
Chow did you get out again? ?"
"When was lying in bed, unable to
move and wasting away in flesh. a friend
visited me and told me about the won
derful cures brought about by great
blood and nerve remedy, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. He strongly urged me to try
them, and luckily had sense enough to
take his advice"
Did you mend quickly?"

Mr., Joseph A. Donovan is living at
Plaistow, New Hampshire, and is line
inspector for the Haverhill, Newton and
Plaistow Electric Street Railway. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the remedy to
use when the blood is thin, as in an9mia;

the body as whole is ill-nourished, as
in general debility. They are sold by

ANOTHER GUESS COMING.
He Lived Next Door, But Not to ANY
OF the Four Points Of the
Compass.

An old lawyer tells, in the Brooklyn
Eagle, this story of one of his expert
ences, years ago in cross-examination
The witness seemed to be disposed to
dodge his questions.
Sir" said the lawyer, sternly, you
need not state your Impressions. We
want the facts. We are competent to
form our own impressions. Now, sir, an
swer me categorically"
From that time on he could get little
mere than yes" and mo- out of the wit
ness: Presently the lawyer said:
y GU say You live next door to the de-
feEdant?"
Yes"
.'To the north of him?'
NO"
"To the south?"
NO"
We'll, to the west, them"

"Ah," said the lawyer, sarcastically.
1--WE are likely at last to get down to the
one real fact. You live to the east of him,
90 you;
How is that, SIR" the astonished at
torney asked. you say you live next
door, to him. Yet he lives neither to the
north, south, east nor west of you. What
do you mean by that, sir?"
i thought perhaps you were competent
to form the impression that we live in a
flat said the witness, calmly; "but l see
must inform you that he lives next door

four miles. There are five spans and six
| piers with six massive concrete arches
on each side of the river. Eleven of
these arches are 65 feet long, and one of
them is 100 feet wide. From end to end
Of the concrete work the distance is
| $500 feet.
The piers are founded on pneumatic
caissons, one of which was sunk 81 feet
below the surface of the water. They are
all resting on solid gray limestone. The
distance from the bottom of one of the
caissons to the top of the masonry of
the pier is 143 feet The bridge has no
draw. being sufficiently high above high
! water mark to pass any steamer without
obstruction.
In the five spans OF the steel super
structure there are $4,000 tons of steel.
The last span, which has just been fin
ished, was put together without the use
of false work. being of the cantilever
style of structure. The bridge has a
double track, and Engineer Angler says
that both tracks from one end of the
bridge to the other may be crowded
with the heaviest locomotives without
taxing the capacity of the bridge.
Some of the distinguishing features of
the bridges construction were that the
caisSonS were built on barges and
launched from the barges into the
stream. 1t has been customary to build
them on ways and from such a position
launch into the water Another distin-
gushing feature was that the steel was
taken up from barges on the river Two
barges, one holding ten loaded cars and
the other II, were floated under the
builders, the huge sections being lifted
from the cars by powerful cranes on top
Of the works.
1t was the construction of the steel
work that occasioned a large number Of
fatalities during the continuance OF the
work. The wind blew a traveller off the
track of the eastern span and killed
three men at one time. Others were
knocked off the works from time to time
until the dead numbered Is. Strange
to say no deaths were occasioned in the
caissons. which were sunk to an unusual
depth below the river surface.
This new structure forms a new gate
way from Chicago to the southwest. The
crossing will divert large tonnage from
both Memphis and st. Louis. Freight
from the southwest for the city of ST.
Louis will in great measure cross the
Mississippi river twice. 1t will be
brought across at this point and run up
the river on new Gould line 129 miles
long. and Will be sent across to Missouri
again over the Eads or Merchants
bridge, both of which are sleeper than
the new bridge at this point. The rail-
way has been built at a grade of but
seven feet to the mile, and this will al
low an immense tonnage to pass over
the line at comparatively little cost in
motive power.
Another odd feature of the the great
bridge is that the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois road will run around loop 20
miles in circumference in order to reach
