AFTER FOREIGN DEVILS
Periodical Outbreak Is Expected and
The United States is Taking
Steps to Protect
Americans.

WASHINGTON, Sept. so.-Major
John H. Russell, U. s. M G., who was
recently assigned to command the
legation guard at Pekin, China, will
leave for his new post sooner than
he expected. The original order is
sued TO Maj. Russell relieved him from
his present duty at the naval war col
lege at Newport, R. l., October next.
These orders, however, have been
modified so as to detach him from
the war college Immediately and d.
rect him to proceed to Pekin on the
steamer leaving San Francisco Octo-
ber 6.
The time of the change of order
will be to advance Maj Russell's ar
rival in Pekin. One of the reasons
for the modification of the order is
the acute political situation existing
among the Chinese people.
For several months official informa-
tion has been reaching Washington
! from the Orient of an alarming char
acter The Chinese, these reorts
/ said are showing signs of discomfort
and restlessness" While no general
outbreak has yet occurred, the officers
of the government are apprehensive

every possible precaution to be pre-
pared for any antiforeign demonstra-
tions similar to those which preceded
1 She Boxer uprising about ten years
ago
These recent reports said that all
! the symptoms of political dissatisfac

months ago there were antiforeign
demonstrations in different parts OF

Chinese army had battle with revo

the regular troops We're victorious
The disorder however, did not be
come general and was soon quelled.
4 According to some who are wei
versed in Oriental affairs, the present
discomfort of the Chinese people Is
due to several economic and politica
causes.
Late last night there was rumo
that instructions had been sent to Ma

Such instructions, however, woul'

For the current year the taxes all
over Colorado are higher than before.
Every county has had its assessments
increased and the state levy is higher
than for many years. The command
Of the Shafroth board of equalization
to all assessors was to increase their

political railroads In the state for the
current year are lower than they were
for the previous years, despite i'm.
provements and extensions, despite
the increased market valuations of all
the railroads running through this
state. The market value of one rail

million dollars in a year. And this

Taxpayers in Denver who have had
their assessments and their taxes
raised can blame the Democratic

Barnett idea which takes the valua.

city and for taxation purposes spread
all over the prairies to serve later as
levers to compel the counties to rebate
