who advises that the combination has
been effected between the Barber line
and some standard oil steamers, all
uf wiaichaG ndoN the British fag and

move is to aid the English and German
dealers in East Indian products to re.

Japan to Police China.
Washington, March 17.--According
to a report received here from a di.
plomat at China, decision has been
reached by the United States and
Great Britain TO let Japan carry out
her plan of policing China. It is pro.
posed that the policing will be done
with both Japanese and Chinese SOL
ders who will be ready for field ser.
vice at any time, and the expense will
be shared jointly by the United States
and Great Britain, the two leading sup.
porters Of the Mikado, while France
and Italy will be allowed to contribute
according to the benefits derived by
them in the way of protection of their
people and interests there.
The agreement is believed to be a
wise, yet simple solution of the prob
lem. 1t is said that there is an addi.
tional clause in the agreement giving
Japan the right to ask at a critical
moment for the aid of the United
States and Great Britain.
China in this proposed national pol.
icy will be divided into sub-distrcts,
foreign, pro-foreign, anti-foreign and
misunderstanding to the disposi-
tion of the people of any one sub.
district.
In order to give the districts a
guard commensurate with the area to
be guarded, the policing force will be
scattered, and will be placed under the
command of Japanese officers, in
whom the foreign countries have the
fullest confidence.

BOARD OF TRADE.
Committee Appointed to Select Trees.
Invited to Send Delegate to
St. Louis.

The monthly meeting last evening
of the Board Of Trade was the most en-
thusiastic and practical for many a
day. 1t was called to order promptly
with Hon. l.. B. Prince in the chair and
w. f. Schnepple at the secretary's
desk.
The invitation to be represented at
the convention of commercial clubs
at st. Louis was read and Hon. B. M
Read moved that the appointment OF
delegates be left to the president
so as to have those named who will
attend, which was agreed to.
The president reported that the city
council has shown great interest In
the subject of modern sidewalks and
tree planting and in response to the
report of the board has passed an or.
dinance regulating the width of side.
walks, providing for the tree lines
and requiring the pavements to be
placed equally distant from the prop
erty line and the tree line.
A. Staab, chairman of the commit
tee on Scenic Highway which was
appointed month ago to see about the
improvement OF the Canon Road near
this city, was absent; but other mem
bers drew attention to the result Of
the work of the committee in inducing
Superintendent Burslam to take up
the matter and assist with his prison
ers.
Professor Wood thought that some
practical steps should be taken to
procure shade trees at reasonable
prices for planting in the streets and
suggested joint action by the city
council, the School Board and the
Board of Trade. A very interesting
discussion followed, as to the varieties
of trees which succeed best in this
locality. Messrs. Gerdes, Owen,
Kaune, Dettlebach and others gave the
result of their experiences. Hon. B.
M. Read moved the appointment Of a
committee to take up the matter, and
Messrs Wood, Muller, Gibson and
Owen were appointed by the president
OF the board.
Mr.. Hanna called up the subject of
the Presbyterian school and he and
Mayor Gibson told of their interviews
with the Woman's Board of Missions
in New York. 1t was decided to ascer-
tain what pieces of land are available
and send description Of all to the Wo.
mans Board in New York; and Messrs.
R. H. Hanna, Gibson and Schumann
were appointed to attend to the mat.
ter.
The president drew attention to the
desirability Of having the channel in
the Santa Fe River in the center of
the riverbed so as to protect the
breakwater and banks of the streams,
and on motion Of Hon. B. NJ. Read, the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That the City Council be
requested to excavate a channel in the
center of the Santa Fe River in Or
der to protect the banks wherever it
is possible by use Of prison labor or
otherwise, and if practicable to secure
assistance from the penitentiary to ac-
complish this work.
A number of minor matters were
considered which will lead to action in
the future and one Of the pleasant fea.
lures of the meeting was the promise
by Frank Owen, superintendent of the
Water and Light Company, to supply
water gratis for the use of all trees
planted in the public streets. squares,
or parks.

Look 10 That end.
Last Friday morning there arrived in
this city 100000 wall eyed pike for dis
tribution in the lakes in this vicinity, in the
hopss Of perpetuating the excellent fishing
that has always prevailed around here.
Charles Wise took 100000 to Big Wa
basis lake. DR.. Pnkham 100000 to Musk
rat lake and ex-Mayor Brieker planted
100000 in Long lake to provide good
fishing IN the years to come at his popu-
lar summer resort.
With the rapid increase in population
Tths fine fishing points in this vicinity are
becoming scarce and the planting OF fish
kn these lakes is surely move In the right
direction. BY the aid of the Michigan
Fish commissioners it would appear that
