WARsHIPs ORDERED EAST
Galveston and Chattanooga to Go to
Chinese Wtaers


WASHINGTON, Feb 13.-Aiarmng
news from China has been received by
the state department from Minister
Rockhll and the American consuls
throughout the empire. In the opinion
of the officials here it is a question of
only short time when the expected
revolution will occur and this govern
ment will be forced to send troops to
China to protect the lives and property
of Americans. Two warships. the Gal
weston and Chattanooga, were ordered
from the European station to Chinese
waters.
There has been a great awakening
in China. The people are now taking
more interest in the affairs of govern
ment, the viceroys, who govern the
great provinces, are becoming more in
dependent of central government. and
disturbances are of frequent occur
renee
Much rioting has occurred recently:
every day the state department re-
ceives advices of some new outbreak.
Many of the demonstrations are
against the "foreign devils" and
America, Great Britain, France and
Germany are now taking steps to pro-
tect their interests and subjects when
the storm breaks. While this govern
ment will not act In concert with the
European M ations, 1t will act coincident
with them.
Boycotters Are Active
The boycott of American goods is
still In force and boycotting proclama-
tions by the guilds are being circulated,
despite the imperial governments edict
against 1t. These proclama tions con-
tain language calculated to infiame the
minds of the Chinese against all for
eigners. They urge the Chinese to
continue the boycott and so force the
repeal of Americas exclusion law.
Whenever one of the proclamations
appears the American consul calls 1t
to the attention of the viceroy and no
titles him that the American govern
ment will hold him responsible for the
disastrous results which will certainly
follow. Diplomatic and consular rep
resentatives of other foreign nations
are taking similar steps and great pres
sure is being put upon the emperor as
well as the viceroys.
The imperial government is almost
helpless, but it is still endeavoring to
cooperate with the foreign nations
in stopping the agitation against for
eigners. Viceroys are acting inde-
pendently of the central government,
ignoring the instructions of the en-
perur.
For some time the American govern
ment has been preparing to meet trou-
BILE In China. 1t has ordered the estab-
lishment of two brigade posts in the
Philippines. Three regiments, one
brigade, has already been ordered
there Another brigade will be sent
soon, making six regiments which can
be sent to China without reducing the
force required to maintain order in the
Philippines.

UNIVERSITY ESTIMATES COSTS
AND BENEFIT OF THING.
MARSH LANDS RECLAIMED
College Of Agriculture Makes a
Study of Wisconsin Lands Already
Restored to Usefulness-Benefits
OF Open Ditches-Improveme
Pays for ItseIf-Bensfits in Many
Ways.

The thorough drainage of the four
and half million acres of undrained
marshy or clay soil in Wisconsin
would increase it's value one hundred
million dollars, according to the
estimates of Professor A. R. Whit
son, soil physicist of the University
of Wisconsin, who with E. r. Jones,
his assistant, has been making an
investigation of the costs and bene
fits of land drainage in various parts
OF the state. In the 129 townships
from which data were taken there
are 1872, 191 acres of land which are
practically worthless for agricultural
purposes because of lack of drainage
This is over 1000 acres per town
ship, at which rate there are about
100000 acres of this class of land
in Wisconsin. There are also at
least 100000 acres of marshy land
which are only partially productive
on account of too much surface water
to allow proper cultivation In ad-
dition there are also at least 1000 900
acres of upland clay soil which will
require underdrainage to allow it to
produce maximum crops.
Benefits of Tile Drainage.
The benefits derived from the use
of tile on marsh acres are illustrated
by the experince of Mr.. Carl Foil of
Deerfield. who had fifteen acres OF
marsh of which 20 per cent was prac-
tically useless. Cattle often became
mired in attempting to cross it, and
at no time of the year was it dry
enough to admit of blowing on at
least ten acres of the lowest portion
The soil consisted of black muck
and peat to depth varying from
five to ten feet, undertake. by gravel
subsoil. On about two acres the
gravel lay within three feet of the
surface, and here the underdrainage
was sufficient SO that the land could
be used for pasture After laying
the tile in 1901 the first crop planted
was corn, which was injured by the
spring frosts, but finally ripened
well. After the corn had glazed
the crop on a typical square rod
was cut and weighed. 1t was found
that the yield was at the rate of
twenty-four tons and three hundred
pounds of green fodder per acre. The
corn for the entire field, when husked
averaged seventy-five bushels per
acre. The first crop was sufficient to
pay not only for the thing, but also
for the top dressing of manure, and
left the improvement clear profit.
The following year the yield of green
fodder was seventeen tons per acre,
and the field was then sown to rye
and seeded to timothy and red-top,
which yielded last year three tons of
hay per acre. The results of this
first experiment in thing were so sat
isfactory that Mr.. Foil continued the
work until. at present, he has 100
acres tiled, all of which is giving
good satisfaction. Mr.. label a
neighbor of Mr.. Foil tiled twenty

SIDEWALK EXTENSIONS
ARE NOT Being PUSHED
One Firm of Contractors, 1t Is
Said, Is Tired of the
Job.

The dissatisfaction that has been
caused among property owners IN eel
tain parts OF the city where sidewalk
extensions were created over year
ago and the work is not yet completed,
although the special tax that was as
sessed was collected, is no doubt ,lustl-
fable. though the conditions are In no
wise cborgcable to the present admin
istration.
The districts wherein the dissatlsfac-
tion exists consist of six sidewalk ex"
tensions The contract for the work IN
these extensions was let one year ago
last April to the Utah Fire PROBING
company, and, according to the terms
of the contract, the work should pro-
press Mt a rate not less than one block
in each extension every ten days.
Would Like to Quit.
That the terms of the contract have
not been lived up TO is undenlable, as
the company still has over twenty miles
to lay in the six extensions. =,
1t was stated Wednesday by well
known man who has kept posted on
the work that has been in progress on
these sidewalk extensions, that the
trouble is that the American admins
tration has compelled the contractors
to perform the work as 1T should be
done. which was not the case IN the
work that was done last year, and that
the company is now losing money on
the work and would probably be only
too willing to have the city withdraw
the contract.
Not Fastening Work.
Be that as it may, it is certainly a
fact that the Utah Fire Proofng com
pany has made no apparent effort to
hasten the work under its contract IN
spite of the fact that the city has used
every means Of persuasion to have the
work hastened, the property owners be-
ing entitled to have the work com
pleted when their money has been paid
for over a year.
Among the contracts that have been
let this year, in every case, the work
is progressing in good shape, and no
complaints have been received because
of the work dragging.
The effort that has been made to lay
the blame on the American administra'
ton for the slack manner in which the
work being done under last year con-
tracts is entirely without foundation.
