STUDENTS WAN REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT
Present Agitation f. Directed Against

IL but Phase of
situation.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 22.-Dr T. w.
Ayres, who has been engaged in hospital
work in north China for five years past
in connection with the Second Baptist mis-
sion, arrived from the Orien. yesterday.
In discussing the situation in China, a
subject on which he is well informed he
said:
All Of the trouble nov brewing in China
Is directly attributal to a deep seated and
uncomfortable antipathy toward the gov
eminent. The feeling of dissatisfaction is
spreading ana TO my mind revolution is
imminent. The anti-toreign feeling is
ment which has for Its purpose the I'M
seating or the Mauchu dynasty and the
establishment of a republican form of gov
eminent In its stead. The boycott on
American goods. similarly, is an expression
of the same revolutionary purpose. These
things are merely the means to an end.
The student class has become n numerous
interest that a month or so ago 1900
students, who returned to China In body
from the schools they had been attending
In Toxic had a great many unkind things
to say OF the rulers of their own country
These students, who are members OF the
better classes In China, are responsible
for the growth and propagation of the
anti-foreign sentiment and for the boy
colt.
The anti-foreign feeling IL not dirested
particularly toward the missionaries The
doctrine that is being spread abroad in the
empire Is that the foreigners are there &c
grab territory and the Chinese can see
that the missionaries are not in China &C
make money or grab territory.

were very satisfactory to all concerned,
the market being very much in need of a

bered only twelve cars. but there were
in addition about an equal number that
had been carried over from yesterday. A
considerable proportion of the receipts con-
sisted of sheep and lambs very much on

wanting a few loads OF desirable killers
and there was a distinctly better tone
to the trade on the few loads in sight.
The general market on desirable killers
might be quoted as steady, but good sheep
IL anything were little strong as COM
pared with yesterday. Some good ewes
sold up as high SOS, showing that the
market has in reality broken very little
on the right good kinds
Feeders opened up a little slow owing
In part to the fact that buyers during the
last two days have been taking a good
many and were inclined to move at a
somewhat slower pace Still there seemed
to be a very fair demand for anything
desirable in the feeder line, with prices
not materially altered from those which
prevailed yesterday. AS noted already in
these columns, commission men are ad-
visng their friends who are intending "a

SESSION NOT YET IN SIGHT
Meeting of Water Works Appra Users
"Latter Part of February" stiII
In Future.

No further advlces have been received
at the city han regarding the session in
Omaha of the waterworks appraisers
which was scheduled for the latter part
of February" In fact there IS silence
from the engineers hardly consistent with
their assurances of an early report
CITY Attorney Breen now comes out
fatty and says that even though a report
is made soon he does not expect to see
the matter terminated and the city In "A
position to vote on bonds for perhaps two
years or more.
II anticipate the appraisement will come
in with separate estimates of the value
of the plant In Omaha and Florence and
the connecting nains-South Omaha, East
Omaha and Dundee"--says Mr.. Breen.
THAT is to say, in four separate pack
ages, for the court has ordered the APP
praisement be made in that manner. The
contention of the city will. be that Omaha
has the right only TO buy the part OF the
system in Omaha and Florence and the
connections and has no authority to pur-
chase the other sections of the plant or
supply water to South Omaha, Dundee or
East Omaha The water company, beyond
doubt, will contend that 1t is not fair
to leave It with a lot of mains. franchises
whole system has to he bought or none
The case will go into the federal court
and it probably will be two years before
the United States supreme court decides IT,.
| In the meantime the city does not own the
water works
II believe one solution OF the question IL
the creation OF a water district TO include
| Omaha, South Omaha, Dundee. East
! Omaha, Benson and other nearby villages,
all of which should be bonded 70 nav for
the plant. This, of course, would require
legislative enactment. but ! believe 1t to
he entireey feasible both from legal and
practical standpoint. I see no reason why
the aggregate amounts reported by the
appraisers. IL considered satisfactory. cam
not be taken and the bonds and burden
assumed by the water district and not by
the city of Omaha.
IAN OF these things, however. require
time and the next Legislature does not
meet until next winter
