PEk1N Sent q

PEKtN, Sept. IS.
There have been extensive movements
OF Chinese troops in the coast provinces,
but the War Department announces they
are designed only against possible revo-
lutionary outbreaks and to prevent anti
foreign demonstrations. Whatever the
purpose, the Government is active in put
ting the army into shape for contingent
cies.
One cause assigned is the possibility Of
the japanese constructing a railroad on
the northern coast of the chinese province
OF Shantung to Biao-Chau, the German
leasehold on the shantuns Peninsula.
Considerable suspicion has been aroused
among Chinese officials by the supposed
intentions Of Japan because Of the prece-
dent Of the AntunE-Mukden Railway,
which became ultimately a pcrmanent
broad-sauge line
JAPANESE LAND MATERIAL.
Reports received at the capital from
Lungkow say the Japanese landed the
railway material from the transports
which brought the Japanese army to the
Chinese coast,
Eki Hioki, the japanese minister W
Pekin, intimated to the Chinese Foreign
Office a few DAYS ago the necessity of
Japan constructing such a railway, the
Minister explaining that siege artillery
could not be transported over the Chinese
roads The Foreign Office replied the
Government hoped the Japanese would
respect the sovereignty of China

Governor Meyer Waldeck. Of kiao-Chau
reports the Japanese outposts have cross
ed the frontier of the German leased ter
ritory. The Germans maintained their
positions. In the skirmishes between the
advance guards the japanese, despite
their superior numbers, suffered great
losses"
The Government is restricting the travel
of foreigners in the interior Of China and
is especially instructng the provincial au-
thorities 70 protect missionaries and other
aliens established in the interior.
The German authorities, 1t is reported,
have been making efforts to transfer the

around Klel when he was informed of the

the mischief had been done. Sir Edward
Grey said the right thing when he said
we are not fighting the German people.
We are fighting the German militarism.'
Militarism in Germany has enabled that
country to take the action 1t did in the

the bottom of my heart. He is not only
a great man, but good man. We have

the killing of man by man."
Mr. Carnegie said that he would not
volunteer a prophecy as to the length of
the war
The Mauretania carried 14o4 passengers,
most of them Americans. Among the

Scotti said that even If Italy went to

of the national heroes, as a result OF
his handling Of the delicate situation
presented when the Germans marched

One of these stories is that when Max
met the German commander and 1t was
agreed that the invading troops should
enter the city without resistance the
German officer laid his revolver on the
table across which they were to confer
with a great flourish. Immediately the
Bugomaster whipped out his fountain

banged 1t down on the table alongside

The SEASON OF Fairs.

4 very large number Of parishes Of
Louisiana and Mississippi are ar
ranging for fairs to be held IN sep

present year. It is believed by many
progressive farmers that no better
way can be found to encourage the
growing of better crops
Besides the large state falr al
Shreveport to be held during the
latter part Of October. there will De
fairs at Donaldsonville, Baton Rouge
and Hammond, in which q number OF
parishes will join the one effort. Ine
fair at DonaldsonVille will include the
parishes of Assumption. Ascension,
Iberville. St. John, st. James, st.
Charles and Jefferson, and probably
Lafourche, Pointe Coupee and west
Baton Rouge.
Over $4,000 will be given in prizes
at this fair, and the large territory
included in the organization augurs
for a large attendance.
The big state fair at shreveport
has been known as the leading event
Of it's class in Louisiana for some
years, and will be bigger than ever
this year.
The Florida parishes have a com
bined fair, and the big state fair at
Jackson, Miss, is attracting attention
in four states. AS the farming inter
ests become more important, the ag-
ricultural fairs in each community an
crease in importance, in this way be-
ing actually barometers of the devel-
opment in those sections.-Southern
