CANTON IN RACE AGAINST JAPAN
Chinese Shed Clothing Made on Island
and Burn lt-Monster indignation
Meeting Organized

Canton, China, March "a. - The
greatest indignation prevails here
against the government for yielding
to the Japanese demands in the Tatsu
Maru case, it being considered that
the governments action in this matter
has been a disgrace. The Self-GOvern-
ment society of Canton has organized
several monster indignation meetings,
at which resolutions were adopted that
the anniversary of the release of the
Tatsu be observed as a day of public
mourning. The resolutions also de-
clare against the Japanese goods.
More than $4,000 persons attended
the mass meetings held yesterday,
buildings were draped in mourning and
20 or more orators delivered denunci-
atory speeches. Among the speakers
was a 12-year-old boy, whose declara-
ton against the Japanese caused the
greatest enthusiasm.
A great number among those who
had assembled thereupon Invested
themselves OF Japanese-made gar
ments, including caps and handker-
chiefs, and made huge bonfire OF
them. One dealer in Japanese goods
offered to sacrifice his entire stock.

DECLARES ARMY WEAK.
Only $4,000 Men, Including Militia,
Avalable for Quick Service.

Only 1900 Men, Including Militia,
Avaiabe for Quick Service.
The, army establishment of the
United States is in an appalling condi-
ton. Weak numerically, with not
enough officers to handle it efficiently,
it is further handicapped by lack Of
supplies.
In case of a foreign war the coun-
try is in such a plight that strong
enemy could wrest from it territory at
home and abroad, the recapture of
which would be accomplished only at
the cost of thousands of lives and the
expenditure of millions of treasure.
Either this would be the case, or the
United States would be forced to lower
the flag to the terms of a humiliating
peace"
Briefly this is the opinion of an army
officer of high rank who is now in
Washington.
There are only $4,000 men in the
regular army" he said. This includes
all branches, combatants and noncom-
batants. OF this number there are 15,.
600 in the philippine islands, 5000 in
Cuba and 1000 divided between Alaska
and Hawaii.

MUST PROVIDE
SAFE BRIDGES
Canal Company WiIlsbe Ad-
Vised to This Effect by
the Levy Court

William G. Jones. Jr., county attorney,
sent to the Levy Court this morning an
orinion in which he held that the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal Company under
its charter, is obliged to provide safe ard
suitable bridges across the canal wherever
the waterway crosses any public road. Mr..
Jones is also of the opinion that the canal
company is liable in damages to any per-
son who may be injured by its failure to
provide safe bridges at such roads, and
that 1t cannot absorbe itself from liability
for the non-maintenance of such bridges
by warning persons OF the insecurity Of It's
bridges.
The question was precipitated by the
posting of a notice on the canal bridge at
Summit Bridge that the bridge is unsafe
10 traffic by traction engines and other
heavy vehicles. The county will inform
the canal company of the advice of its at
torney on the subject and insist that The
company strengthen the bridge.

STREET STANDS
TO BE REMOVED
Street and Sewer Directors
Find an Old Regulation
Prohibiting distractions

The Street and Sewer Directors at Their
weekly meeting this morning instructed
tho street commissioner TO nouty pre-
pr,etors of street stands on all streets eS-
cent market streets to remove them by
Oe etober i. The action was taken on mo-
tiol, of Director Gray under a city regula-
tion adopted in 1856. prohibiting the eree-
tion Of permanent stands on all except
market streets, as well as under regula-
ton adopted several weeks ago prohibit
inc the construction Of areaways. bay
windows. door steps and other obstrue-
tons over the building line.
The directors supplemented their ac-
ton applying TO street stands In general
by ordering the stand erected at Sixth
and Market streets. which had been
constructed after the proprietor feW
weeks ago had been refused permission,
removed before night.
The stand erected at Tenth and Mar.
kct streets along the Ford Building, Will
also be removed to-day. Peter J. Ford at
tended the directors meeting and an
nounced that he had learned only through
the newspapers that the stand had been
erected in violation OF law and would re-
me We It at once Mr.. Ford was commended
by the directors for his desire TO ac,ede
so readily to the efforts Of the dirccto s
to improve the appearance Of the city i
streets.
Although acting under a regulation
adopted in 1856. the directors were not dis
posed to issue so sweeping an order as &c
enforce it to the letter, owing TO the fact
trat the regulation has been overlooked
so long that its violation has become a
custom. For this reason 1t was decided
TO give the proprietors Of all old street
stands until October l to remove them. As
result Of the adoption Of the recent regu-
lation by the directors, the city has two
regulations applying to street stands and
similar distractions.
