BE READY TO FIGHT.
Chairman Hull States His Position on
the Army Appropriation BIZ.

Washington. Feb. 21.-Discuss5ng the
army appropriation bill. Chairman Hull
said that the situation in China made it
necessary to keep the army and navy
IN efficient condition to meet emergen=
cies. It was necessary, he said, for US
to be ready to fight for our rights
Mr.. Hull characterized as injudicious
the utterance Of Minister Hockhfll that
the United States intended to return
$50, zoe e09 sterling, its share Of the
boxer indemnity The minister, he said,
did not have a proper conception Of the
character OF the Chinese people when he
offered them a bride of s20,000000 to be
good.
They would take such an offer as in
dication of our being afraid of them.
Mr.. ROckhill he said however, should
let whatever information was necessary
from the government of the United
States come direct.
Mr. Hull read a letter refuting the
idea that Japan was the author of the
bill He said the boxer indemnity should
be used to build battleships rather than
returned to China. He said it was in
the interest of Japan to retain order in
China. Every government hiatt has bus
mess relations with China must be
ready to protect themselves or pull down
their flag and leave the Pacific ocean
and destroy their trade.

Tuesday yesterday it was the same

Tuesday evening Bennett was ar

FOR A CITY MARKET.
Talk of Establishing One Has Been
Revived.

The talk of esta blishing a city mar
ket is being revived. It is barely posi-
bic that action may be taken by the
city council along this line within the
near future.
The city market business was a hobby
with several of the councilmen in past
administrations bptsth agitation never
proceeded further than boxing upavalI-
able sites. vs7
Topeka should have a city market"
said Councilman S. a. Swendson today
"Other cities around about here have
city markets. such as Kansas City, St.
Joseph and others anc they all make it
a profitable thing to have. A license
fee is collected from the occupants of
the stalls in the market and this more
than offsets the original cost and that
of maintenance so that it is really a
good source of rev4nue for the city.
Topeka should secure q market. 1t is
getting large enough and the time is
coming when it will be hard to secure
