American Troops to bo Withdrawn at
Once Believes a Oreat -Uprising is
rending. .
' The situation in China is taking
shapo so far jIs the United
States is concerned. Within an
other week the United- States
troops will be withdrawn save a
.sufficient legation guard.
Germany demands five Chin
ese heads and if they are re
fused she proposes to declare
war.
England it now seems will side
with America. " Lord Salisbury
is quoted as saying: "America
is the only country in the world
strong enough to have taiten
smb. an initiative of she did
when she stood out against the
German proposals. I feel deeply
grateful that the Americans did
so. Theirs is tho only logical
point of view."
The action of our government
is not viewed by Germans with
foelincr akin to alienation but
rather that the government at
Washington has a misconception
of the situation. TheGerman com
mander really anticipates a fear
ful uprising in China and contin
uation of disorder.
The appointment by the Em
press of Prince Tuan as head of
the government is regarded as
very unfavorable and is even de
clared to be the fruits of the
American policy. Under his ad
ministration there is little hope
of a favorable, treaty .for the
missionary work.'
Only an Empty Collin.
Mr. H W Tucker is somewhat
annoyed at a rumor around that
a dead "young one" was found
under his house this (Wednes
day) morning. A small coffin
from a former stock was saved
from the late 'Cannonville fire
and was placed under his house
for want of a more suitable
place, and having been discov
ered, it was easy to get the im
pression that something had
gone wrong. The coffin was
found but no baby had found its
way into it yet.
Marriage Licenses Issued.
Register of Deeds Johnsoxi this
morning issued marriage license
to Mr. F C Honeycutt and Miss
Maggie Motley; also to Mr. Wil
liam Morris and Miss Julia Wag
oner. This is a case where cupid
was no respecter ofage.
