have slain his father after a demand
for money and after the elder vacek
had reprimanded him for not working.
The body was found shortly after

flied the police. After a brief investi-
cation of the black hand theory. tho
police suspected that the murder had
been committed by some member Of
the family, and the widow and two
daughters were questioned.
Suspicion finally attached to tho
boy when it was learned that he had

CHINA HAS NO FEAR.
Looks Upon Revolutionary Mevsmsnto
90 lnsianifeant.


Picking, Aug. 5.-There Is little or no
fear among the legations at PekinE
or even on the part Of the Chinese
government that any of the movements
that would seem to be of revolutions
airy character will eliminate In a ser.
ious uprising
The reasons for this optimism are
several. The temperament Of the Chi
nese is still contrary to argument by
force, only an inflnitesimal number OF
foreign educated students being per.
suaded against the peaceful doctrine Of
Confucfus. The modern troops Of the
central government are sufficient to
cope with any rising at present within
the bounds of possibility. There Is APP
parently no revolutionary organisation
OF a sufficiently serious character to
threaten the overthrow Of the dynasty.
tho there is much discussion by hot
headed students who often send mem
orials to Picking written in their own
blood.
But the foregoing are only the minor
reasons for confidence. The chief rea-
son is the fact that the serious men
who are dissatisfied with the present
state Of affairs fear that a revolution
would give pretext to two or moro
foreign nations to invade and annex
provinces. The fear Of losing OUT
lying provinces like Mongolia. Man.
churia, Yunan and Thibet has been
discussed seriously for many months
in the newspapers and among the half
informed students turnout the country.
The partition Of China, theme which
excited the western world several
years ago. has only now struck and
alarmed the mass Of the Chinese.
The dread Of foreign invasions 10 in

memorials to be sent to tho throne.
pointing out the dangers Of the alleged
situation and beseeching the Prince
Regent to institute rapid reforms in
Guiding the development Of the army
and navy. But the Manchu dynasty is
not likely to increase the army lest.
after becoming capable Of defending
the state. 1t might turn upon the allen
dynasty. of which there Is much jeal-
ousy. At present the Manchus control
not only the government but the army.

Washington, Jan. 17:-Secretary
MacVeagh, of the Treasury Depart
ment, not worthy disciple of govern
ment economy, has a new scheme for
saving money for Uncle Sam, which
ia now being put into effect, and
which. incidentally. is causing a
loud voiced wall to emenate from q
majority of the 5000 clerks in his
department.
The plan is to make 1t impossible
for clerks to be late, without having
the fact chronicIed by a Waterman,
and having a corresponding amount
of time taken off the clerks annual
leave of absence. Secretary Mac
Veagh expects to accomplish his
ends by requiring all employees to
enter the building by a single set
of doors now being made.
In the past, there have been
clerks who, when they were late, en-
tered the building by some door 9TH
er than that they we're accustomed to
use. In ease the Waterman attempt
ed to halt them they would wave
him gracefully aside with the cheer
full information that they were Wis
itors In the city, on a sightseeing
trip.
The new plan, however well 1t may
work out, is extremely distasteful
to the clerks. Those who would
scorn to fitch a few minutes from
their government, resent the implied
criticism of their honesty of pur-
pose. Those who have used many
entrances to their advantage, are
peeved because they see a good thing
taken from thin.
And then there is another objec-
tionable feature to the plan, accord
ing to the viewpoints of the clerks.
1t will soon be necessary for many
OF them to walk q block farther than
has heretofore been necessary In
OF der to get into the building, and
from the same entrance back again
In order to get to their desks.

DUTCH on

Washington, Jan. 1f:-A fearless
band OF Dutch oil producers have
made plans to fight the Standard Oil
Company, In its own field, right here
In the markets of the u. s.. A. This
startling development in the CONNER
cial world is told in a report from
Consul General Dubois, at Singapore,
in which he says:
'The Royal Dutch Shell group has
entered into competition with the
Standard Oil Company, is placing oil
in France, and, 1t is reported here.
has also determined to sell benzine
in the United States, and that four
big tank steamers started some time
ago for Boston.
Heretofore the Dutch combination
has disposed of its products in the
vicinity of production, and conse-
