Washington, March 2.-Besides MAX
ing preparations in the Philippines to
dispatch an army to China to protect
war, in accordance with instructions
of the president, has given directions
for troops in the United States to be
ready at a moments notice for serv-
ice in the far east.
The president is hopeful the precau-
tionary steps he has taken will have
the effect Of causing the empress dow
ager to adopt repressive measures inn
mediately and thus avert an outbreak.
Such steps were imposed upon him by
reports he has received from all sec
stions Of the empire, sent by consuls
and their agents, and information OBJ
tanned from other sources. These re-
prevails and that Americans and their
property are in danger owing to the
feeling created by the boycott insti-
tuted last summer.

The president has found that while
the Chinese government ostensibly has

Washington, March 2.-The movement
to secure reduction in the expense OF

Lyman J. Baird, the present receiver,
has resigned, to take effect March and
S. F. Donaldson Of Faribault,, former
deputy county auditor, and also con-
nected with the Security bank, will sue
coed him. Baird was getting $4,000, a
year, and had clerk to assist him, who
was being paid $1,000 a year: Donald
son will get 81 800, and will furnish his
own clerical assistance, effecting net
saving Of $4,000 year.
The campaign for this reduction was
begun some time ago by committee

commission as national bank examiner
but has no district, and it is not likely
that he will be assigned to any, SO that
he now is practically out of the gov,
