that the Federal government should
expend $4,000, 600 a year on the
work of general waterways improve
ment. The congress. which count
its members in every state and ter
r..ory in the Union is e~ndeayoring
to increase it smembership So as
further its program at the coming
session of the National legislature.
Captain J.. h. -4lson, of Cincinnati.
secretary and treasurer of the asso-
citation, is bending all his energies to
this end
To return to Captain Orr's plan,
he estimates that it will requl.-
four years to complete each Of the
sections or twenty years to finish
the entire Mississippi portion. His
| scheme to take the work a section
at a time, completing each link and
throwing 1T open to traffic, Captain
Orr is confident will work great econ
omies. He believes that it would be
possible to ecure big returns from
the gigantic undertaking almost
from beginning of work, and at the
same time build up new territory
and give shippers transportation ac-
commodations which such a water
way naturally would afford.
Captain Orr is said to have made
a personal survey and close survey
of the route he has selected. 1t lies
east of the Missippi and close to the
foothills where soil, as he explains
1T, is to be found, that will furn..
a splendid foundation. In addition
it will be possible to use this soil in
the construction of banks and bikes.
The proposed canal will be fitted
with locks, but how many the re-
ports do not say. 1t is said that Cap
tain Orr is firmly Of the opinion
that it is cheaper to lift a vessel
than to compel it to force its way
against a heavy current.

News from Washington.

Washington, June 2O-While the
Japanese agitation is holding the at
tention of the American people, it is
not the problem in the Far East that
the State Department is worrying
over The Boxer trouble is causing
decided u~neasiness, and it would not
be surprising il the powers were
compelled to step in again and teach
China a lesson for the second time.
Already, it is intimated, plans are
afoot to prepare for such an exigency
and 1t is not unlikely that a number
of the officers who weathered the
last storm In the Flowery Kingdom
Ray be called upon to help again
Principal among these is H. G.
tSquires, at present u. s. Minister to
Panama, and during the seige of the
Legations at Pekin in 1900 chief of
staff to Sir Claude Macdonald, who
held out so valiantly against the
Celestial hordes.
The situation is regarded as omi-
nous. The troubles in 1900 began
in exactly the same way as the pres
ent trend Of events. The first out
RACES seven years ago were directed
against. the missionaries, and advices
were received last week that similar
outrages have been perpetrated In
the interior with the result that three
American and two British mission
aries have been massacred. 1t was
also learned that the uprising prom
iises to be far more serious than that
OF 1900, when the powers were
forced to interfere. #s
alton is found in the fact that the
Chinese Empire Association has
grown very powerful. This associ-
alton is pledged to the overthrow OF
the Empress Dowager and the rais-
Ing to power OF her son, who prac-
tically has been prisoner for years

Gold Mining In Siberia.

A curious and characteristic fea
ture OF mining in the Orsk gold field
Siberia, is the way the ground Is
prospected and opened up by peas
ant ''tributors." Permission is read
lily granted to sink shafts wherever
they like. subject to the conditions
that they can go down only as fan
as water level, usually about 60 feet
and that all the quartz extracted
must be treated at the mill OF the
ground landlord and all gold extract
ed sold to him at rate previously
decided upon. leaving a fair profit foi
the peasant and an extra good one fol-
the landlord. There is No ohilanthro
ply about the transaction, and the
peasant Is in no way bound to accept
the terms. No charge whatever Is
made for the use of mill. The field
is thus. practically developed for moth
ing--rich reefs which would prob
ably remain undiscovered are opened
up by 'tributors," who frequently
make fortunes out of rich strikes
The mine owner Is TINS continually
in touch with AL that is going on
and duly records the results OF the
operations for his own benefit.

line. When the Rock Island sys-
tenn purchased the line, which was

ton, it did not get a locomotive, a

there was of the line was water,

OF course the building Of the
line was u small matter which

pany. and too much criticism should
not be heaped upon his head for 50

II has become very evident that
President Roosevelt's 3 threat to APP
POINT negro TO the office of sur
veyor Of customs i'll Cincinnati was
only a bluff. another instance of
welding the "Big Stick over
the heads Of the two Ohio senate rs
and securing concessions which he
sought, without yielding a single
point TO the opposition. Yesterday
Presindent Roosevelt nominated fol
the place, Amos Smith, Jr., after
he had stated pla.hly that he would
name Ralph Tyler,of Columbus, q
negro, for the place.
Shortly after he announced his
intention to name the negro, II
was stated tnat Congressman
Longworth had intercedcd and had
succeeded in having a truce declar-
ed by Roosevelt and Foraker. The
terms Of the truce were that For
aker was to cease his hostility tc
the president on the Brownsville af-
fair and the president was to aban-
don his plan for appointing Ralph
Tyler. This was one of the con-
sideartions.
Foraker's opposition TO Roose-
vGlt on the Brownsville affair
called forth the threat to appoint
the negro and Roosevclt's threat
to appoint the negro stopped the
opposition upon the part of For
akcr.
Roosevelt has found his "Big
Stick" very effective in silcncine
all opposition and he proposes to
use 1t, whenever the occasion de-
mands. i'll order that his ideas
may be EARNED out and the princi.
pies which he advocates may tri.

his fight for his canal policy into
their hands instead of jumping over
TO the opposition.
