Threshing Wet Wheat- A good many farmers in this Ltion are having their wheat threshed while it is wet, which mil lers say is a great mistake, as it is [easier to dry it in the bundle than after it is threshed out. [ After being threshed it requires I large floor space to spread it out properly and very few tarmers are prepared to handle it. The millers kill not buy it while it is wet, as [they have no place to dry it, and bsay it is better to let it remain in the shock until we can get a few days of sunshine to dry it out before it is threshed. ___ Mrs. H.

Powers Questioning Each Otherand Pronarinor fnr DevfilonmentS r ••••£• w. - * JAPAN IS NOW IN READINESS. Sending Force Into China and Other Countries Following- Missionary Murdered. Washington, July i. —It is be coming apparent to diplomas in Washington that behind the inter national concert prevailing with respect to China, interested nations are quietly pulling wires to ascer t in where each will stand when consideration is given to the ques tion of the future government of the Celestial Empire. It is known that Japan has been sounding the United States and Great Britain to ascertain the po sitions they will take in the event of certain contingencies growing out of any underhand policy Rus sia may adopt. There is reason to believe that Great Britain has been equally zealous in making inquir ies on this p'dnt, and Germany likewise has not been behind hand. One of the most important results of Japan’s representations to Sec retary Hay has been that he has informed the Tokio Government that the United States Government has, individually, no objection to her placing as many troops in China as may be necessary to set tle the trouble. Japan has ap proached other European powers to ascertain their views as to her intention to send an army into China, but the result can only be inferred. movements of troops. It is.iearued on authority that besides reenforcing her squadion at Taku, Japan has mobilized a di vision of between 17,000 and 20,000 men. As she has an effective force Figured black brilliantine cut to the low price of iq and 40c.

Vaughan & Cos. of 3,000 men already in China, it will be seen that she will soon be represented by a military force larger than that of any other pow’er. France is said to be contemplating the dispatch of 8,00 men to Taku. Russia has already sent 4,000 and will send more. Great Britain is also expected to dispatch strong reenforcements to Taku. The United States have thus far given orders to 2.400 men to proceed to China, and Will send more if ne cessary. It is estimated by well informed diplomats that the inter national force in China or under orders numbers between 40,000 and 50,000 men. Germany’s attitude has been a matter of considerable speculation. If Baron von Ketteler has been murdered, it is altogether probable that Germany will declare war and severely punish the Chinese gov ernment. “At this moment,'’ said a well informed European diplomat, “Germany is moving with the other Powers in the direction of restoring peace and order, and pro perty. She has enough territory in China. She undoubtedly de sires the preservation of the empire, and from what we now know will support the American government in such a policy.” PESSIMISTIC VIEW. There is no doubt that members of the Diplomatic Corps take rather a pessimistic view of the in ternational situation. They are fearful that the suspicions of Japan against Russia, and vice versa, may precipitate development which will involve these powers in war, and perhaps draw into the conflict other nations whose interests might become endangered. This possibility has been im pressed upon the administration, and it has been urged to take the 1 lead in settling the Chinese ques tion. A vigorous policy on the part of the American government would it is said, receive the sup port certainly of Great Britain and Japan,fprobably of Germany, and Russia would have to accede to it- Up to this time France has been actihg indenendentlv of Russia, making every effort to oil the wheels of diplomacy so that it will be possible for the powers to move harmoniously in disposing of the Chinese question. Baron von Ketteler. German Minister to Pekin, was killed by Chinese native troops on June iS He was 011 his way to the Chinese Foreign Office at the time and died in that building. A high Chinese official at Pekin has got news through to the Con suls at Shanghai that the situation is beyond control of the Dowager Empress,and that tile other Minis ters of the Powers were besieged and not expected to hold out anoth er day. This was on June 26. All the legations in Pekin, save those in Germany, France and Great Britain,hav# been destroyed. Prince Tuan is said to have tak en possesion of the imperial palace ; and the persons of the Emperor • and Empress Dowager, and to have gained supreme control. This news is of the greatest significance, , as Tuan is leader of the anti-foreign element. , Edicte have gone forth from Pe kin to the Viceroys throughout Chi na to destroy all foreigners, but j these, according to official dispat ches from Shanghai,have not been obeyed. The allied forces at Taku are bending every effort to get troops to Pekin to relieve the for eigners there. Commander Keys has blown up a fort on the Hei-Ho River, thus opening river communication be tween Taku and Tien-Tsin. A Card. I desire to express my heartfelt 1 taanks to those friends who extendd their kindness, goodness and sym pathy during my recent great loss and the trial through which I have had to pass.
