CITY ADVERTISING
FOR MAYOR
|Madgeburg Adopts Unique
Method to Obtain
Executive.

Berlin, July 11.-Following the
German theory that the best way to
fill the municipal Office is to hire the
best available expert in the particular
line of work to be done, the city of
Magdeburg, by the president of the
council, is advertising conspicuously
in prominent German newspapers:
"The place of mayor of Maggie
burg is vacant. The salary is $1,000
marks per year, including the rental
of the dwelling in the city hall. Be-
sides salary the incumbent will re-
ceive 400 marks ($1OOO) for his Of
fetal expenses. Candidates should
apply before September L."
The practice of hiring official may
ors is no novelty in Germany, where
sometimes two cities bid in competi-
ton with each other for a capable
man. The Magbeburg advertisements
attracts special attention, as it is the
first large city to advertise in filling
so important a notice. The retiring
mayor, DR.. Lentz, was lately promot-
ed to be Russian minister Of finance.

FLOWERY KINGDOM
REVOLUTION
General Revolt, Theateed
for Months Starts With
Pitched Battle.

Hongkong, July 11.-Revolution,
long expected, has begun in China.
In a pitched battle between armed
rebels and imperial troops at Yuen-
kiang more than 200 Chinese were
killed and many were wounded, the
government forces being victorious.
This is believed to be the precursor
of a general uprising which has been
for months. Educated
Chinese, who are at the head of the
rebel movement, have promised to
protect foreigners in every way pos
sible, but the American, German and
British governments are expected to
send strong forces at once to pro-
tect their people and to prevent
repetition of the Boxer horrors. The
missionaries in the interior are in
grave peril, but they have declined
all overtures of their friends to seek
safety in Hongkong.

is said, has been striving for months
to bring about general revolt, with
hte purpose of gaining political ad-
vantage. Now that the rebellion has
begun, however, it is likely to go
beyond control. The Chinese war
spirit has been fully reused, and the
Manchurian dynasty may come to an
end with the armed Intervention of
Japan and the other first class pow
ers.

US. MAY HAVE To
FIGHT JAPAN
Nicaragua in Communica.
ton With Japan Asking
Aid Against u. S.

Washington, D. c., July 1.-THE
state department gives great i'm
portance to communication receiv-
ed today that Madriz has been in
communication with great foreign
power for the transfer to it of an
island of Nicaragua in return for the
foreign nations assistance against
the United States.'
Officials do not believe the power
is Germany, as is generally believed.
Germany recognizes the Monroe doc
trine. England is opposing Madriz.
Madriz knows these facts and
would not have made this prefer to
Germany or Great Britain.
Quick Action Expected.
The opinion is growing now that
the matter has assumed critical i'm
portance by official consideration
that the power appealed to by Mad
riz is Japan.
Japan is not interested in the
American Monroe doctrine, and it is
manifest that it would be to her SUI
preme advantage should she get a
base on the west coast of the Amer
lean continent.
The acceptance by Japan of the
Madriz offer would be an instant
cause of war, and the Taft admins
tration would not hesitate nor de-
lay action.
Mystery About Schooner.
The state department also gives
out the information that it is sus-
pected that American concessionaries
under Zelaya are still helping the
Madriz government.
The clearance Of the tug Chamber
lain from Mobile is claimed to be
irregular.

er got away, it is said, with ammu-

Years ago when 1t was decided that
