LOOTING IN PEKING
BY AMERICAN LADY
Disgraceful Incident In the
Imperial Palace.
OBSERVED BY A DIPLOMAT
Closet Containing Valuable Poreolaln
Broken Open With a Bayonet by
American Soldier at tho Instigation
of an American Woman.
Peking, May 24.-The last moeting
of the diplomatic corps was the scene of
a more acute phase of the controvorsy
over looting. The question was raised
by diplomats friendly to Lady MacDon
ald, who thinks a great injustice was
done her by the supposed reference to
her in one of General Chaffee’s letters
upon the subject of looting.
Ministers of two European countries
rose successively and made statements
as to Lady MacDonald's behavior on the
day of the visit of the allies to tho For
bidden City, which were practically
identical They were with her through
out the day and declared that she left
the palace without any plunder except
a yeilow rose plucked iu the empress’
garden.
One Scene of Looting.
“But,” they said, “we did, however,
witness oDe scene of looting, which, to
gether with Lady MacDoimld, we tried,
but unsuccessfully, to prevent.
“In the palace we met the wife of an
American, accompanied by an Ameri
can enrio dealer. We suggested that
the reception was exclusively for the
members of the diplomatic corps, but
she persisted lu taking tho curio dealer,
whose expert opinion sho wanted upon
some of the empress’ ornnmonts.
“Reaching the pavilion, the enrio
dealer saldi
“ ‘Here, I am informed, the most val
uable porcelain in concealed.’
“In spite of the protests of Lady Mac
Donald and onrselves, the wife of the
American tried to open the cupboards.
Finally sbs called an Amcricau soldier,
who pried a cupboard open with his
bayonet, wherenpon, not wishing to as
sist at a scene we coaid not prevent, we
withdrew.”
The American representative at the
meeting made no reply.
Withdrawal of German Troops.
Berlin, May 24 —The statements iu
the London press concerning Oonut Von
Waldersee having notified the authori
ties that he would not leave Peking un
til the coart. returns and that he has
pad an interview with Emperor Kwang
Bn are authoritatively denied. The ofil-
clals here say the count will leave aboat
July 1 for Japan. Germany is trying
to cbortor vessels for the return of her
troops. The first vessols can Ball in
abont a fortnight. The German con
tingent remaining in the province of
Pe Ohi Li will be less numeroas than

THE LUSCIOUS STRAWBERRY
Cun He Cultivated lit l)llTereut Soils
and IVhi pentturea.
Among the spring luxuries of tho ta
ble is tho strawberry, which is adapted
to such widely different soils and tem
peratures, that those possessing oven
the smallest garden patch may have
enough for their own use, if they >o de-
desire. A plot only 20 or 30 feet square
will witli proper attention produce a
supply that will surprise those uot ac
customed to the cultivation of this de
licious fruit.
There is great demand for strawber
ries iu nil our larger towns. Those
raised iu Florida begin to come iu to
ward the middle of March, aud when
they begin to grow scarce the Georgia
berries are ready to come iu. The mar
ket gardeners of our state would find it
profitable to raise this favorite fruit for
the states north of us.
It is too late now to plant for this
season, but not too late to get.ready for
another. Those sot out in the spring
will produce very few berries tho first
year. The chief aim for the first year
should be the production of vigorous
plants, which will be less liable to be
killed by the cold of winter than those
set out iu the fall. If such plauts are
secured they will with proper care pro
duce au abuudaut supply in tho uext
season.
Strawberries should be cultivated or
hoed at least three times the first year.
But, if this is dono every two or three
weeks from early iu April until Octo
ber, the weeds will bo thoroughly kept
down so that they will not become
wedged in between the plants. When
the season for berries comes then all
this care aud attention will be amply
rewarded.—Stato Agricultural Deport
