TSpecIni Cable TO The Times Dispatch.1
Pekn5, March 1.-The great rcpub-
lie of China was believed to be facing
complete disintegration tonight.
President Yuan Shi Kali admittedly
tho most powerful man In the coun
try. was as helpless as babe before
tl:e srecd-crazed mutineers. who only
fow days ago were his most loyal
supporters. and tonight continued
their work of pillagc and slaughter.
Realizing that he was unable to
master the situation. the recently
elected President appealed to the for
cign diplomats TO bring enough troops
here to restore order.
Yuan was IN despair. For more than
thirty-siX hours lie had been in al
most constant conference with his
most trusted advisers attempting to
devise some plan OF pllcating the dis
affected soldiers. but without success.
Heretofore he has spurned all warn
ings that his life was in danger. but
tonight he admitted that he might be
assassinated at any time. His friends
predicted that he would be forced to
give up the struggle and place himself
under the protection of the foreign
legations
Scores Shot Down.
Practically. every soldier in Picking
joined In the piliase tonight. Resi-
denccs that had been harricadcd
against attack were set on fire. and
scores of innocent persons were shot
down IN the streets. The lights were
turned off at 8 o'clock. but the hooters

Carts and wagons were piled high
with booty. and were transported TO

soldiers. who made the night hideous
with their cries of delight at the i'm
potence of the authorities.
Twelve hundred foreign troops. In
GLIDING 200 americans, will arrive here
Sunday afternoon to strengthen the
legation guards. Yuan and the republi-
can delegates from Nanking have
urged the foreign ministers to assume
control of the entire city.
Advices from Pao Ting Flu said that
the rioting was continued there to-
night. Hundreds OF foreigners have

ricaded. and residents armed them

AS TO AWARDS OF
CROSSES OF HONOR
Statemcn Issued as to This by Presi-
dent of North Carolina Division
DAUGHTERS Of C~OnfederacY.

SCateIncn Issued as to This by PFeSi-
lent of North Carolina Division
Daughters Of Confederacy.
The following statement regarding
the awarding of Crosses of Honor for
confederate Veterans has beer issued
by the president Of the North Carolina
Division Of the Daughters of the Con-
federacy:
There nave been SO many misun-
derStandlngS regarding the hnai
awarding Of Crosses of Honor in
North Carolina, that a true statement
Of the matter is deemed necessary.
True it is that the date fixed in
rules for this matter is November 1st,
general closes her books, but chapters
regular celebration days an extra date
is allowed each State, and this date
differs everywhere. In North Carolina
the date chosen was August %, hence
last August % was the last date on
which our division can award crosses.
and the idea that they can be applied
for now is incorrect.
However, as many papers reached
the custodian general late and were
returned, your president will at the
Washington convention present and
urge the passage of a motion that all
applications on file in chapters be
awarded crosses. If we fail in this
there is no hope. Chapters are there
fore urged not to call for more appli-
cations.
Remember the cross cannot be
worn by any widow or descendant.

And then my words were true;
But oh there came a parting,
My dearest one, from you:
For hasty words were spoken,
And thoughtfully, in part;
Then promises were broken,
And after that, my heart.

You said; I'm going to leave;
Protection from another

I answered rather ugly,
We'll, go then,-leaye my door;

Thy wretched form no more
I watched as you departed
And said ! did not care;
But now I'm broken-hearted
And wish that you were here;
For, oh. I've grown so weary
Of living here alone!
I'm longing for you. Dearie,-

Is no twilight zone between the nation

taken the view that the states can
do much and that their powers should
not be weakened or hampered. but
mat where their authority ends that

Winner and Carter and are carrying
on their correspondence with the
lUckies from these points, but they all
want to be at the land office city when
the harvest is on.
A peculiar condition exists and the
lOcators are up in the air and are
apt to remain there until the govern
ment makes a move or two. The en-
tire Rosebud country is in the Greg
Dry land district, with the exception
Of Mellette county-the county to be
opened, and it, with Bennett county,
is now attached to the Chamberlain
land district. 1t is reasoned by those
who are up in matters of this kind
that the department will have an ex-
ecutive order issued soon transferring
the new territory to the Gregory dis
trict. This will have to be done or the
filings will have to be made at Cham
berlain. Then there is talk, and not
all talk, either, hat the government
contemplates the consolidation of the
Chamberlain and Gregory offices and
the establishment of a new district

this anticipation the various towns Of

EXPLORING DEAD SEA
Scientists Sounding Waters Of
Oldest KnoWn Lake.
Motives of Expedition Said to Be
Purely Scientific-No Elements Of
ComNercialism Entering Into
Ultimate Object.

Jerusalem.-An expedition, the pur-
pose OF which is thoroughly to explore
the Dead sea and its environs under
the leadership of DR.. Bruhl of the Uni
versity Of Berlin, has just arrived
from Europe and continued to the
scene of its future operations.
The motives of the expedition, SO it
Is emphatically averred by DR.. Bruhl,
are purely scientific, with absolutely
no elements of commercialism enter
ing into its ultimate object.
The work of exploration will con-
sist in the major part Of sounding the
depth of yerious sections of the lake
as well as Analysing the complex
composition of it's waters, studying its
shores, Investigating the nature Of the
different minerals that are said to
abound in that region, exploring, as
many rivers and hot water streams,
apart from the Jordan, which flow
into the sea, from both the eastern
and western mountain ranges that
hem its shores, examining and classify
ing the varieties of fish that exist in
large numbers only in the extreme
southeastern section Of the lake,
which consists mainly of shadows and
marshes.
1t must be remembered in this con
nection hat it has always been firm
ly maintained by those who visited
the Dead sea and wrote treatises
about it long ago that no fish of any
kind can make their habitat in any
part OF it, and this long established
belief was disproved only recently by
a pleasure party of Americans, long
resident in the country, who visited
the southern end of the lake and dis
covered fish.
So it remains for the members Of
the German expedition TO arrive at
the causes, which undoubtedly must
