ton at Peking Has Faith in
Promises of China.

Vancouver, B. c. Jan. 2I.-H. p.
Fletcher, first secretary of the Ameri-
can legation at Picking, is here on his

garded in high favor by the princes If
the Manchu dynasty. Mr.. Fletcher is
hopeful of the attitude of the regent,
Prince Chun. brother of the late en-
peror and father of the reigning en-
peror He pointed out that the prince
is not unfamiliar with Occidental civil
ization, having visited Germany on an
imperial mission some years ago to
apologize for the murder of Baron ven
kettler, the German minister.
Mr.. Fletcher added that the Chinese
government recently agreed to mining
laws and regulations, now nOn-existent,
to give greater security and protection
to foreigners investing in mining enter
prises. In his opinion, China is faith
fully observing the open door" policy.

obligations by Withdrawing its military
forces from Manchuris, the collection

troll of the Chinese customs board. The
only japanese forces in the country

INAUGURATION OF TAFT.

- Q far as the weather was concerned the
~ Taft administration began under unfavor-
able circumstances Once again it is obvious
that the inauguration ceremonies should take
place during some month other than March A
more unpleasant day for such ceremonies
could hardly be imaginsd Washington pre-
scented anything but a pleasing appearance. The
thousands upon thousands of citizens gathered
there erdured discomforts that caused them to
wish they attheir own homes. The weather
was enough to have dispelled even the sunshine
from Iafts urbanc countenance. OF course,
those things are bound to happen.
The weather conditions are not indication
OF what will happen during the Taft administra-
ton Perhaps the storm fitting accompany
ment to the departure of Mr. Roosevelt. His
administration has been stormy enough and the
disturbance continued until the very last moment.
The country sends Taft its best wishes for a
prosperous administration 1t will be a Taft
administration all the way through. Mr. Taft
was elected President by the votes of a large ma
lority of his countrymcn. lie went through the
fire of a political campaign without a flaw be-
ing found in his character No man, perhaps,
ever came to the Presidential chair more fitted
than Taft is for the position He is careful and
Conscientious with large grasp public af-
fairs. BY nature he is qualified for the high
position that he has been called to fill
We believe his administration will be marked
by four years of peace and happiness. We ex-
pect gratifying revival of business. The coun-
try will go forward in every direction and the
people will rest assured that a strong hand is at
the helm; that the ship of state will be guided
free of rocks and shoals Let the watchword be
peace and progress.

should pity the managers Of the street car com
panies because Court of Five-Day Nuisances
might have to be established to hear all the
cases against them.
This alertness OH the part of the Street and
Sewer Directors brings up thoughts about the
paving bill. We considered it the other day and
commented on Mr.. Hatton's ethical deductions
that the man who paid for his own paving would
enjoy the consolation that persons who have
good paving must pay their share in the future
that is, il they didn't get the law changed back
to what it is at present when the time came for
the present exempted ones 10 put down their
own paving.
There is another thing under the proposed law
requiring property owners to do their own paw
ing Practically the question of whether they
should do the paving or not would rest with the
Street and Sewer Directors.
We think that the proposed law before the
Legislature should be changed in the spirit of
promptness so that the directors could serve no
tice upon property owners that if they did not
lay new paving in front of the houses for the
benefit OF the heavy wagons, the automobiles
and the carriages within ten minutes after re-
cept of notice, the owners would be liable 20
prosecution for maintaining a nuisance We are
living in the age of the wireless and rapidity and
why should we not be prompt?
The general determination of the Depart
ment, to enforce the law, however, is right
even though there may be complaint of the
limit of time. The Directors may well retort
that if the property owners kept their paving in
repair they would be in no danger of receiving
the peremptory notices.

EXCHANGED SHOTS

Patrolman Robert serson and Isaac
Dorsey, colored, Of Chester Pa, had a
lively encounter early on Wednesday
morning. when the policeman attempted
to arrest the negro. who is wanted in
Chester for stabbing another man. Dor
sey mangled one OF the officers hands
with his teeth and fired several shots at
him and the policeman sent a bullet
through the colored mans leg. but Dor
sey managed to escape and is still at
large.
The patrolman found Dorsey in a
house on High street and told him to go
with him. Dorsey knocked the officer
through the door and started to run.
but was tr-~ped and the two men grap-
pied Dorsey broke away and ran to the
yards OF the Wilmington Transfer Com
pany, where Serson again caught him
and where another struggle ensued. The
negro broke away from the policeman a
second time and scaled a fence, making
his escape.

ACTIVITY.

HE Street and Sewer Department is get
ting after owners of property whose pave
ments are in need of repairs Notices are being
served on such property owners that if they do
not repair their pavements within five days, re-
gardless of billiards or other conditions, they
arc liable to be haled before tSe CITY Court for
maintaining nuisances The Department is up
and doing-sure. The best thing, therefore, that
the owner of property who receives such no
tice can do is to Jump out upon the street at
once yank the first brcklayer he comes across
by the back of the neck and force him to REPAIR
the pavement forthwith If the bricklayer pro-
tests that he is busy and cannot do the work at
once the only thing the property owner can do
is to summon policeman to force the brickayer
to do the work, or, perhaps the property owner
might get trowel and bricks and do the work
himself
Should the property owner or the agent hap
pen to be out of the city, or should the notices
contain an error in his name or an error
in the location of his property, he would be in
a plight for the probability Of being regarded as
a nuisance would be great. He might find him
self erlSed before court by policeman.
However, the spirit Ct promptness contained
in these orders is commendable. The time limit
is brief to be sure, but hasn't the Legislature set
an example by the quickness and rapidity with
which the committee knocked in the head the
labor bills that were presented to that body?
Imagine the surprise of the managers Of our
Wilmington street railway companies when
they received notices that they must repair the
depressions in the city streets within FIVE days
or they would have to answer the charge OF
maintaining nuisances. For certainly simil II
notices must have been sent to everyone in any
way responsible for defective paving. We guess
that some Of the paving in the middle OF the
streets used by the railway companies needs re-
pairing.
Some people might think little more time
should be allowed the property owners but we
believe that the Street and Sewer Directors
Nill be so hard on the owners OF bad pavements

HOPE FOR THE CANAL.

HE friends of the Chesapeake and Delaware
- Ship Canal project have every reason to
feel satisfied with the progress that it is making.
Much good work has been done. To have per-
suaded the committee of the House of Represen-
tatives at Washington to make a favorable re-
port on the proposition for the government to
buy the canal and open the free waterway, was
a notable achievement AS Baltimore paper re-
marks to DIR. Burton, our own retiring Congress
man, and to Congressman Mudd, of Maryland,
much credit is due They have worked diligent-
" for the success of the undertaking.
The canal and its franchises have been ap-
praised at So, 100000 This is the careful estimate
made by the commission named to value the ca
nal. AS free water way it will be worth many
millions TO the government. OF course the gov
ernment purchase of the canal is not vet assured,
but we have taken long step in that direction.
All that is now needed is persistence in urging
the project and success will ultimately crown the
efforts OF those who have devoted so much time
and labor to the waterways scheme.

pastor of a church in this city. but
which one it is impossible to predict
at present. His coming TO Whining

of health, the relation of Mr.. Stengle
