DANCING AT SPRINGS.
Promises to be a Pleasing Pastime at
Resort This Year.


Resort This Year.
Though the varied attractions at
Brandywine Springs Park are occu-
pying the attention of the thousands
visiting there unusual interest is be-
ing shown in the forthcoming season
of opera which opens on Monday
evening next when the Manhattan
Opera Company of New York. opens
its engagement of twelve weeks with
The Time, the Place and the Girl,
as the opening production. Rehear-
sails Of this tuneful offering are be-
ing held daily and the company has it
in almost perfect shape.
Next to the opera it is believed that
dancing is going to become the most
popular amusement which has ever
been offered at the park. The dancing
pavilion in the Hungarian Village on
the lake is a favorite place now and
all who have visited the pavilion are
pleased with the fine dancing floor,
the general surroundings and the ex-
cellent music furnished.

Washington.-To the United States
belong the credit of bringing about
concerted action in China by the six
great powers of the world, Great Brit
ain, France, Germany, Russia. Japan
and the United States. The Washing
ton government initiated the move
ment which has taken definite form at
Shanghai.
The six governments, at the behest
Of the United States, have united to
assist DR.. WI Ting Fang, representa-
tive of the revolutionists, and Tang
Shao-Yi, emissary of the premier. in
their peace negotiations in Shanghai.
The announcement of the pact in
Shanghai was the signal for rejoicing
there, according to a cablegram re-
ceived here.
The main thing insisted on is the
preservation Of China intact, whether
with monarchy or a republican form
Of government. It is believed that
the negotiations mean the doom Of
the Manchu dynasty.
The state department apparently
believes that the conference in Shan
ghai will result in peace without fur

ExT0RTI0N RULES IN CHINA
Grating Officials Are Everywhere
and Advancement is Obtained Only
BY Bribing Authorities.

The form Of rule which obtains in
China at present may be summed up
in a few words. The people have
no say whatever in the management
Of imperial, national or even munich
pal affairs. The mandarins, or local
magistrates, have full power of ad-
Indication. from which there is no ap-
peal Their word is law, and they
have full scope to practice their
Vaccinations with complete irrespons-
Utility, and every officer may fatten
himself with impunity. Extortion by
officials is an institution It is the
condition on which they take Office;
and it is only when the bleeder is a
bungler that the government steps in
With pretended benevolence to ameli-
+orate, but more often to complete, the
depletion.

iished salaries Of provincial magnates.

sorts to extortion and the selling Of
Justice. So with education The re-
suits Of examinations are the one
means of obtaining official notice.
Granted that a young scholar gains
distinction, he proceeds to seek pub
lie employment and by bribing the
Peking authorities. an official post is
hoped for. Once obtained, as he can
not live on his salary, perhaps he
even pays so much annually for his
post, license to squeeze is the result,
and the man must be stupid indeed
who cannot, when backed up by the
government, make himself rich
enough to buy a still higher post in
a few years With advancement
comes increased license and addi-
tional facilities for his enrichment, so

rest OF the Rev. c.. y. Brewer, Mrs.
Anna Jordan and five soldiers, it
developed that for nine months fed
eral army officers at Fort Riley have
been fighting an alleged plot &c de-
stroy the big army reservation. Not
only were there frequent incendiary
fires and dynamite explosions, but the
commanding officers received frequent
letters threatening them with death
and the fort with destruction.
Night and day since early last spring
Fort Riley has been under more than
double guard and the homes of COM
missioned officers have been guarded
in order to Illustrate threats of their
destruction by dynamite.

and Col. Charles A. 2. Hatfield were
recipients Of letters threatening them
with personal violence and the blow
ing up of their homes.
The first and one Of the worst fires
was the night of March IA, when the
quartermaster's storehouse was entire
~ destroyed With a loss of S250,000.
Another fire on March 20 damaged the

noTed the president by sending back
to the house an amendment to the lat
ter's resolution. So it appeared that
all branches of the government had
affirmed the action started by the
house.
Mr.. Maltby of New York, the only
member of the house who voted
against the Sulzer resolution last
week, spoke in opposition to action
by the house, saying the United States
would not help to improve the I'm
human" conditions in Poland by ter
minating all commercial relations with
Russia. He declared the United States
should use it's efforts to alleviate con-
ditions arising from Russia's "malad-
ministration of the human law"
While congress is severing certain
relations with Russia, the state de-
partment and the White House are
working vigorously to push negotia-
tons looking to the drawing Of a new
understanding. That this is a deli
cate task is acknowledged. The best
of feeling thus far marks the negotfa-
