RUSSIAN HEAR
(Taking Control of Ports to

WHATUNCLESAM SHOULD DO
United Action of Interested Gov
ernments Necessary to Prevent
Russian Monopoly,
| By Associated Press.
i Shanghai, Dec. 9 —John Barrett, former
. ly United States minister to Siam, has re
' turned here after visiting Pekin and rhe
j principal Chinese ports. He saj*s the situ
i ation in China is of the most critical na
i ture and that Manchuria is no longer
Chinese, but Russian territory. He asserts
that New Chwang, the chief northern port
for the movement of American products,
is also practically Russian and liable to be
closed any day. The only permanent safe
guard to paramount 'American interests,
Mr. Barrett says, is immediate united ac
tion by the interested governments to de
mand the integrity of the Chinese empire,
to enforce reforms in government, to pre
vent farther cessions of ports and pro
vinces and to insist upon an “open door”
policy to all ports in China.

EFFECTIVE DECORATIONS.
On the Occasion of the President’s Visit by
Frank Powers.
Frank Powers has made arrangements
for the decorating of the business houses
and streets of Macon on the occasion of the
visit of the President.
■He has made arrangements with a Chi
cago house under which he will receive in
a few days a full supply of bunting and
large flag pictures of McKinley and all the
leaders now prominently before the people
of this country. He proposes to make ar
rangements with the merchants by\whjph
the banners and buntin will be stretched
from house to house across the streets and
in this way the decorations of the city can
be made to show up to greater advantage.
The decoration of the front of the stores
is all very well but the effect is not as
good as where it is distributed across the
streets.
By a combination of arrangements be
tween the stores opposite one another on
the different streets the decorations will
look btter and cost less. It would be well
to see Frank Powers about the matter.
