years in China, and who ARRIVED here
yesterday on the liner Nippon Maru. says
that shortly before he left his station at
kai Tsien i'm the province OF Szchuan,
place about 1900 miles from Shanghai the
Boxers had caused considerable alarm 10
the foreign residents. The imposition OF
half school tax and a heavier tax on
opium had aroused the Boxers to anger
and started them on a wrecking ram

but five buildings belonging 10 the Pro-

EAST PROVIDENCE

The residents OF Waterman avenue, who
have for a long time been accustom 10
receiving their mail twice a day. have
come TO the conclusion that the man
wearing the uniform OF letter carrier
has taken it upon himself to leave mail
elsewhere, for the residents OF Waterman
avenue are at the present time getting
but one mail a day and there Is some
talk among the residents OF this section
OF the town TO have the free delivery"
system discontinued, and other arrange
ments TO make for the mail The resi-
dents of this vicinity and other sections
or the town have come to the conclu-
sion that the making OF the local office.
what is known In postoffice circles as "A
substation. is nothing more than no.
litical deal, for the service under the ad-
ministration OF the late A. NJ Cunning
ham and Mr. Stephen j. Rich was more
satisfactory, than today. and this has
led many to believe that the management
at the office I'm Providence thinks that
any old services is good enough for
East Providence. Those who are now
finding fault with the service. expected
that when the local office was made n
substation last July. that the services
would be as good as any other part of
