This same thought occurred to
Rowland a dozen times during the
next two hours. Macdonald seemed
to be the life and law of the camp,

at Thorne's demeanor. The camp

they met seemed to stand in a

For an hour afr breakfast the
two men were busy with papers,
maps, and drawings relative to the
camp work. Rowland had kept in
close touch with operations from
Chicago and by the time they we're
ready to leave for outside inspec-
tion he was confident that he could
take hold without the personal as
distance Of either Gregson or
Ehorne. Before that hour had
passed he was certain OF at least
one other thing-that 1t was not in
competency that was taking the
two senior engineers back to the
home office. He had half expected
- find the working-end in the

20. Henry"

The passing of 20, Henry by which
name William Sidney Porter has for
some years been known to the reading
public, will be the cause of genuine re-
greet to a great many Americans. who

of western humor which they may per-

suspected Of sympathy with the anti
Manchu and anti-foreigner movement
One of the dispatches from that city the
other day states that the bolts had been
removed from the rifles of several thou
sand OF the troops as precaution against
mutiny. Ammunition was taken away
from the forces. and even the bayonets
were removed from their equipment in
many cases. This virtual disarmament
affected about one-half of the soldiery In
and around Marking. If the disafection
of the army has proceeded to that ex-
tent there is no safety in eastern China
for foreigners at present. The case grows
more difficult in view of the fact that
these troops whose loyalty is suspected
have all been drilled by foreign officers
and represent the highest efficiency in the
Chinese army today.
These occasional demonstrations of anti
foreigner sentiment in China should be
regarded as reminders that the westerniz-
ing of the great empire cannot proceed
hastily. 1t will take many years to per-
meate China with modern ideas and to
remove the prejudice against what we call
progress which governs the great mass
of the people. With a strong government
at Peking the situation would be more en-
couraging. But at present the imperial
rule is not such as to command conf

the foreign support, which may now be

felt in every civilized country.

Washington's Finances.

Elsewhere in The Star is printed The
first installment of an article on the
Finances of the National Capital Part
nership" being the substance of a pam
phlet which the Board Of Trade printed
in 1898, reprinted in 1902, and is now re-
printing for a second time. with much ad
ditional matter. bringing the discussion OF
the subject up 20 date. The renewal OF
debate over the organic act in connec'
ton with the playground appropriation
and the proposition Of an inheritance
tax and an enlargement Of the personal
tax for Washington make the publication
timely and interesting. The two PROPOSE
lions urged in this installment of the
article are:
l. The primary responsibility for the
support and development of the National
Capital is upon the nation; and Congress,
not the people of the federal District,
fixes the amount of the latters tax con-
tribution toward the cost of the capital
maintenance.
- The burden imposed by Congress
upon the local taxpayer is fully as heavy
as that which the average Self-soVerh-
ing American municipality imposes upon
itself. and i'm view of the peculiar dis
abilities under which the District OF Co.
lumbia labors its tax is harder to meet
than that of the average American COM
munity.
The figures relied upon to sustain the
second proposition, so far as today's pub
LEGATION is concerned, are from census
bulletins of 1890 and 1905. The detailed
comparisons are between Washington
and the nine American cities most closely
approximating it in population-Cincin-
natl, Detroit, Milwaukee. New Orleans,
Newark, Minneapolis, Jersey City, Louis
willie and Indianapolis. OF the ten cities
Washington is fifth in population and
first in real estate assessment, and leads
all in per capita tax levy, which. COM
binins rate and assessment measures ac-
curately the actual comparative tax bur-
dens of the ten municipalities.
