CHINA ON HER DIGNITY
OBJECTS TO FOREIGN OWNERSHIP
OF LAND HOLDINGS.

China is asserting her dignity and rights
as to the province OF Manchuria, wrested
from Russian control as result of the war.
in a manner that is not entirely agreeable
to all OF the powers. And the first manifes-
tation of this falls upon the United States.
Partly to sustain the Chinese claim to SOW
ereignty over the province. and also to Sc
cure the open door as against either Of the
parties to the great combat, the State De-
partment early in the quarrel took steps to
establish consulates at Antung and Tatung-
kow. and Mukden and Dalny. During the
progress of the war. and while the country
was in military occupancy. it was not pos
sible to actually open offices at these places
But as soon as Japan and Russia were will
ing TO withdraw their troops IL was, Of
course, assumed that there would be no
further difficulty experienced in installing
the American consuls.
Foreign Land Holdings Opposed.
Now, however. 1t appears that China is
interposing obstacles: supposed at first to
be grounded entirely upon desire to mere
ly assert herself and crafty her vanity,
but at last found to have a much more
substantial basis. In fact, the Chinese
government, 1t Is understood is now de-
termined to make a stand against any ex-
tension OF foreign land holdings In China,
anu Illus Inc opportunity 10 make the issue
in connection with 1.-The establishment of
foreign consulates in Manchuria.
In Shanghai, Tientsin, Canton and else
where in Mongolia there are what are
known as foreign settlements, wherein the
consulates are located and the ground
titles in many cases rest in the heads of
foreign governments or in citizens of for
eign countries. These settlements have
always been obnoxious TO the Chinese, and
they have determined to prevent the ex-
tension of the foreign holdings.
Thirty Years Lease.
Hence, in the case of the Manchurian
consulates. although the Chinese govern
ment is willing that these great trade
agencies should be established, they wish
to permit It only condition that the
necessary lands for the foreign occupants
of the town shall remain In the ownership
of the Chinese government, and that for
eigners be permitted to live thereupon only
under thrty-year leases.
The plan is regarded with disapproval
in some quarters, because the great appre-
citation in value of the lands under foreign
occupancy and Improvement would prob
ably make 1t impossible for the original
within their power to meet. But the Chi
nese government has already inaugurated
this new policy of foreign exclusion in the
important city of Chinan-Fu by prohibiting
the connection Of foreigners with the cleo
trio lighting and trolley system or in
nection with any of the public utilities and
the same principle is being applied to the
construction of railroads, so that unless
there is an alignment of the powers against
the Chinese association as to the Man
churtan consula tes the end of foreign land
holding in China is believed to be at hand.

MR.. BoNAPARTE BETTER.
The Secretary May Not Resume His
Duties for Ten Days

Word was received at the Navy Depart
ment this morning that Secretary Bona
parte, who is i'll at his home In Baltimore
with ptomaine poisoning. is steadily I'm
proving. but that he will hardly be abe
to resume his official duties in Washington
for a week or ten days yet. The illness.
which at first took the shape of acute In
digestion, but which by Monday developed
into ptomaine poisoning. began with Mr..
Bonaparte's return TO Baltimore Monday.
He spoke at banquet held by the Ma
tional Municipal League, of which he IS
president. in Atlantic City, and returned
home last Friday. On the train he ate
luncheon, and. while feeling tired, gave
little attention 10 the illness. which began
almost as soon as he reached home.
When the conditions became more COM
plicated symptoms clearly denoted the pol
soning. All yesterday Mr.. Bonaparte I'M
proved. and now is much better. No COM
plications are apparent his physician said.
and a quick recovery is expected.
The fact that Mr. Bonaparte has been
working hard and travelling so much and
that he has had his meals trregularly and
in different places had much 10 do with
the serious effect his illness has had.

DR.. PRENTICE'S SUCCESS AND
FAME

DIR. Prentice has gained the world
wide name of spectacle wizard by his
great success in glass fitting, which is
due to his wonderful inventive genius
in the optical line. He invented the
first instrument known to science for
examining eyes for glasses called the
|retinoscope. 1t is for royalties of $780,
900 on this instrument that famous suit
is pending in which w. A. Foster, of
Davenport, is chief lawyer. The glass
es that the doctor uses are also differ
ent from those ordinarily prescribed;
they are sphero-prisms that relieve TO-
GUESSING and also the converging eye
strain, therefore they have more than
double the effect in relieving eye
strain and the terrible nervous condi-
ton that come from eye-strain
The Minneapolis Tribune says Or.
Prentice has the distinction of fitting
glasses to the emperor of Russia"
He has also fitted glasses to members
of the royal houses of italy and Eng
land
He is still busy at Kimball hotel,
Davenport. where he will examine free
all cases that call between 10 and II
a. m. during the next few days.

SAVES DIVORCE EXPENSES
Coroner Now Satisfied Death Was De-
IiberateIy Courted Big
Knife Found.


John Walgren, who was killed by a
Rock Island switching engine at Elev-
enth street, Moline, Tuesday evening,
was undoubtedly a suicide This is the
belief, at least of Coroner Eckhart,
who has received additional light on
the case.
Late yesterday afternoon he got into
communication with the wife of the
unfortunate man at New Windsor, and
the coroner states that she, or rather
another who talked for her, declined
to come for the body or pay for tn.
burial. Mr.. Eckhart says he was in
formed that she was glad her husband
was out of the way, for she had started
suit for divorce and the accident would
relieve her of the expense of legal
proceedings.
Hind Big Knife.
The coroner is now satisfied that
Walgren, instead of having failed to
see the approaching cars, deliberately
walked in front of them. This is sup
ported by the fact that large, keen
butcher knife was found on the body,
the unusual weapon pointing to sin
lister purpose.
The body still lies at the parlors of
Moline undertaken, and it is probable
the county will be called upon to bury
it.

place the direction from which the sing
ing came and then softly, with bowed
head, he made his way to the dining
room and waited in corner until they
had finished. They sang ten hymns

when they stopped he shook hands with
each one, thanked each and wished all

She did not miss it until the cake was
finished. Fearing it had been lost in
