figure in the affairs Of the Chinese

of the oldest nation has there arisen
occasion for the appointment of sucn
a commission as was domiciled in
the Fairmont Hotel, and never has
a foreign power been SO strongly
represented through diplomatic
channels during the period Of a crisis

honor, the dragon flag flew Sunday
from the mastheads Of a score Of YES
sells in the bay, guns mounted on
the harbor front doomed out a salute
and thousands of his countrymen,

Gov. A. E. Wilson, Of Kentucky,
announces that he will soon with
draw a portion of the soldiers from
the ''black patch" He does not say
from what counties they will be
taken, but it is safe to say that in
| Trigg, Galloway and Christian,

retained to protect the citizens and
officers who have been vigilant in
suppressing night riding. No trou-
BILE has occurred in the ''black patch
for several months, but there is no
doubt but what peace has been due
to the presence Of soldiers. In many

pared to enact the program original
ly planned by the city, and that he

tons of the program as possible be-
fore the departure of the fleet for the
Mediterranean.
