Persons who rush into Wall street
and buy Pacific Mail and other steam
ship stocks in belief that The pas
sage Of the subsidy bill by the SEN
ate will send those securities a-soar-
ing, are apt to be sadly disappointed.
If the cloak room whisperings arc to
be relied upon, the Senate's action
was merely another sop thrown to the
shipbuilders, who for the past ten
years have been deluded by the prom
ise that something was to be done by
Congress to encourage the American
merchant marine. An understanding
is said to exist between the managers
of the Senate and House by which
the shipping bill is to die natural
death in the lower branch of Con-
gress. But for this definite agree
ment the bill would not have gone
through the Senate. The House has
passed several subsidy bills during
the past five or six years and will
rest on this record for the balance Of
the present Congress.

AMERICANS ARE IN PERIL
Six Thousand Men, Women and Child
rem are in Danger if the Boxer
Trouble Develops in China. News
and Notes of the Affair.

Nearly 6,000 Americans, men, wo-
men and children, are in peril of
death at The hands of Chinese mobs
IN tn threatened Boxer uprising. To
reset as many Of these as possible
from danger and to take drastic ac-
ton in every case where an Ameri-
can is molested is the purpose of the
President through the State, War and
Navy departments.
Activities in this direction have
been going on for weeks, but great Sc
crecy has necessarily been maintain
ed.
Aside from the known fact that the
Philippine forces have already been
greatly augmented and the Asiatic
feet increased the State Department
is keeping its programme secret.
Of the total number of Americans
now in China, it is estimated that not
less than 400 are engaged in Christ
ian mission work.
1t is roughly estimated that there
are 5000 Americans engaged in com
mercial pursuits in China, all Of
whom are victims Of the boycott. In
addition to these it is estimated that
there are 1900 other Americans in
China in the employ of Chinese mer-
chants and manufacturers who here
tofore have been paid good wages but
who have been driven from their en-
ployment by the anti-American spir-
It.
In one thing the United States is
acting alone. Nearly all the antifor-
sign sentiment in China is directed at
Americans. There is some hostility
to French and Germans, but none to-
ward japanese or English.
All the counties named have been
benefited by the boycott on American
goods.
Therefore if Peking is taken again
as it was in the Boxer uprising Of
1900, the feat is likely to be accom-
plished by American soldiers.

BrookingS County Corn

A. J. B. Thomas on Monday left at
this Office a stalk of White Cap field
corn grown by him which measured 81
feet and which he says is about an
average OF his field, at least he could
have found larger samples. The corn
was planted May 18th just seventy four
days from the date he cut the specimen.
The corn is tasseled and has two we'll
formed ears with silk. 1t is said there
are numerous fields OF corn in this
county that are equally as good, which
if true, shows that this will soon be a
county noted for corn growing, as this
has certainly been a backward year for
that cereal.

Found Her Hand Sachel

In driving from the home of Mrs. NJ.
l.. Redmond to Main street last Thur
day day afternoon a large leather
handbag belonging to her mother, Mrs.
ElsOn, dropped out Of the buggy seat
and was missed almost Immediately;
but on going back over the ground
they were unable to find it. As they
had net a man OH a bicycle as they
were going down to the city they sup
posed he had discovered the pocket
book and picked it up. Nothing more
was heard from it until Sunday when it
was returned by T. j. Bertness who
found it in the road near his residence.
The party who evidently discovered
and took possession Of it in the first
place deemed it unsafe to keep it and
had taken it to another part OF the city
and thrown it away after extracting
something like S34 in money and a
pair Of gold bowed spectacles. The
drafts, valuable papers, keys and other
articles were left intact as the party
evidently was shrewd enough to know
that an endeavOr to keep them in
his possession or dispose OF them
might lead to the discovery of his dis
honesty. AS Mrs. Elson's name was
in the book it would not have been a
hard matter to find the owner had the
finder been so disposed.
