There appears to be little fear of
China's developing a sudden and ag-
gressive reactionary policy in opposi-
tion to the influence of Yuan Shi Kai,
observes the Washington Post. The
consensus of official opinion seems to
be that the development of China will
not be halted; it will simply be re-
tarded for a while.

25O-Year-OId Tree Burned.

An oak tree at the corner of For
tieth and Walnut streets, Philadel-
phia, which is said to have shaded the
Indians ESQ years ago, before Will
lam Penn came, was burned down be-
cause one of its younger branches
rubbed the insulation from an cleo
trio wire, causing the offending
branch to ignite. An alarm was
turned in, and when the firemen ar
rived they debated whether the tree
Or the wires were the more valuable.
As the wires would have to be
chopped in order to fight the blaze in
the branches they let the tree burn.

THROWING THE ARROW"
BY Edward Williston Frentz. !.

In certain parts of Yorkshire, Eng
land, the miners amuse themselves by
practicing a pastime of great antiq-

The implements are SO simple and
the results so astonishing that the
sport deserves a wider recognition
than it has ever had.
The arrow is only rod of wood,
without head or feathers. In York
shire it is invariably made OF hazel,
but any wood which is both light
and rigid will serve more or less sat

Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon

afternoon.
Representative Payne, it is stated,
is sore over the action Of Repre-

vote on the lumber tariff. Payne
also accuses Cannon of packing the
conference committee by appointing
only high protectionists as members
OF it. The republican conferees held

WILL NOT ASK
FOR EXTENSION
TROLLEY COMPANY is MAKING
EVERY EFFORT TO START
CARS ON TIME.

The City and Suburban Railway
company will not ask council for an
extension of ting III the beginning of
operation of four miles of trolley line,
unless something unforeseen turns up
to prevent the company from push
ing the work with the same rapidity
that has marked the work since it
was started.
When the company first broke
ground for the line it was thought
by many that it would be impossi-
bic TO have cars in operation by the
time specified in the franchise, the
latter part of September. but though
the work has been in progress for
less than month, rapid progress has
been made, in fact the rapidity Of the
construction has even surprised the
officials Of the company.
Within another week or ten days it
is expected that all Of the track, ex-
cept along Newcastle and Mansfield
streets. will be down while the
wires will be stretched along the line.
The work of grading has been finish
ed on all streets except the two men
toned, and G and Norwich streets
and most of the track has been laid.
The next big job that the company
will take up will be the erection of
a poWer-house and carshed just south
of the plant of the Mutual Light and
Water company. While the cars will
be operated by the same power now
being used it will be necessary to
put in two or three new machines and
build q carshed.
The cars have been ordered for
delivery i, the city about September
Is. They will come ready to go on
the track and it will only be neces-
sary to unload them, place them on
the track and connect them up.
Building trolley line is no small
task, but the local company is MAX
ing a record and it is safe to pre-
diet that cars will be in operation
before the first of September.

and some new facts were brought TO
light. "a
1t has developed that new com

intent Of operating a boat line be-

will probably be secured, while a sec
ond boat is now in course Of con-
structiOn in the city This is merely
a rUmor and no one connected with
the new project is ready to discuss
it at this time. 1t is further stated
that business men from two other cit
les are interested in the new COM
pany and will furnish the financial
backing.
No action has as yet been taken
by the st. Simon Transit company
to secure an injunction; in fact it
was learned that Judge Parker had
not been presented with the legal
document, but that it will be present.
ed within few days there is no
doubt 1t will likely take seveEal
months for the matter to travel
through all of the courts of Georgia,
but those interested in the new COM
pany hope that it will be settled be-
fore the opening Of next season, so in
the event that it is decided that they
have a right to construct a wharf
they can get everything completed
in time for the seasons business.
The question at issue is a very in
teresting one, and the people of the
city generally will anxiously await
the final result.
