travagant, indomitable, she had wis
dom, sagacity and diplomacy which as
founded all crowned and uncrowned
leaders of mankind since her dominant
authority began.
.Her political career began with the
wholesale beheading of princes in 1861,
by which she established her son on the
throne. A slaughter of reformers and
others took place thirty seven years
later, in 1898. Two years after this
she deliberately, upon advice, set about
slaughtering all Christians and foreign
ers. giving 100000 taels from her pri-
vate funds toward carrying on the
work. Her authority was complete over
about IA 900 officials and over the well
fare and lives of the vast majority Of
the inhabitants of China, who number
close to 270,0O0,000.

POSTAL DEFICIT rs LARGE.
Receipts Were $191, ATS, 633 and
Expenditures S2o6, 1851, 1856.

Postmaster General Meyer an
nounces that the postal deficit for the
fiscal GEAR ended June 80 amounted to
$16.9102T9. Receipts were S191, 4TS,-
63s, being ST.So3,657 greater than in
the previous year, and expenditures
We're Sos, 351 $50. The deficit is the
largest in the history OF the Postoffice
Department.
An analysis of the figures shows that
$9,s91.321 represents the advance in
pay authorized by Congress for en-
ployes of the railway mai. service, the
rural delivery and the city delivery ser
vice and for assistant postmasters and
clerks in postoffices. The normal in
crease in revenue for several years
was about . per cent and in 1905 400
per cent, the decrease in the rate of
growth being due to the financial de-
preston.
The Postmaster General said that in
his annual report he would call the
attention of Congress to the fact that
he is firmly convinced That the es-
adjustment of a special local parcels
post confined to rural routes would
tend to wipe out the postal deficit and
would make the rural delivery self-sus-
tanning, besides being of convenience to
the farmer and boon to retail coun-
try merchants
There are now in operation more
than $4,000 rural routes, he said, serv-
ing population of about 1S,O00O0
people, and should an average of fifty
five pounds of merchandise be carried
by the rural carrier on each trip
throughout the year it is estimated
that $15,000,000 would be realized. The
rate would be ) cents for the first
pound and , cents for each additional
one up to eleven, the maximum weight
of a package.

MICHIGAN TO light FOR LAND.



airy TO Go so Federal Court.
Has the STATE of Wisconsin been in
undisputed possession for fifty years Of a
portion of the territory belonging to thu
State of Michigan? And if So what is
the State. of Michigan going to do about
It! There are possibilities of striking
aspect in the situation presented by this
inquiry. If Michigan has been deprived
OF portion Of valuable territory through
the error of a surveyor, and the error can
be established, will the courts disturb the
boundary line between two sovereign
states! This is the question that is like
~ TO reach the Supreme Court of the
United States, and it constitutes a hard
nut for that tribunal to crack. Two years
ago, largely through the interest taken in
the matter by the late Peter White of
Marquette, the attention of the Michigan
Legislature was called to the fact that
the government surveyor in 1871 did not
follow the instructions of Congress. and
that if he had done so strip of territory
now assumed to be part of Wisconsin
would constitute a portion of the upper
peninsula of Michigan. This strip COM
pflses about seventy square miles, and if
the contention of the State of Michigan
is correct the city of Hurley, Wis. and
some of the iron mines south of the town
should be included in territory belonging
to Michigan. Attorney General John +.
Bird has had made survey by Prof j.
Is Davis of the Michigan university, and
will report the result of that survey to
the Legislature when it convenes in Janu-
airy. 1t is understood that the State of
Wisconsin, learning that in the new Mich
igan constitution an alteration has been
made in the description of the States
boundaries, is taking steps to defend its
title to the territory involved, threatening
the most vigorous opposition.

the student body severely arraigned the
laws of Maine for pei caitting the organ

vices and swindles which flourish at many

worst vice of the American people is the
desire to get something for nothing.
Maine has the disease as badly as Okla

thousands of dollars year from all over
the country for organizing corporations

easy He then referred TO the local com
ty fair, at which numerous low and
swinding side SHOWS were run, and eom-

farmers allow themselves and their fami-
lies to be insulted by the presence of these
low takers at their agricultural fairs:"
