but it comes out regularly and has wide
circulation all over the em-ire. This is
the oldest journal in the world. 1t was
being read by tie Chinese centuries be-
fore America was discovered. and it had
been in existence over 100 years when
the Frankfort Gazette. the first daily
newspaper of our civilization, began it's

majesty prayed for snow Or rain, or
started the spring blowing. 1t gave the
official reports from the provinces; and
the sentences Of siicing to death and
other punishments. which, were SO COM
mon until the new regime came in.
The Peking Gazette Of today is largely
devoted TO the modern movements no"
going on over China. 1t contains me-
morials relating to the schools and the
establishment OF constitutional govern
ment. II is full Of edictS regarding The
opium evil, and the importation Of NOR
phine: and il has much to say about rail-
ways and foreign loans. 1t contains now

Womans Journal. 1t is published in an
attractive form and is written in classic
Chinese. l. is largely dew ted to educa-

Delegate w. H. Andrews firmly in

in the attitude Of the president toward

Gated by numerous reports which have
come out from Washington during the
past few days, and since the statehood

The president. several days ago, gave
his Endorsement to the separate state
