GREAT WALLS MAYBE RAZED Destruction of Ancient Defenses of Uhinese Oities in Contemplation, MILITARY AND SANITARY NECESSITY United States Troops Find on Taking s of West Arsenal In- ng Collection of teren Anclent Firearms, TIEN TSIN, China, Oct. 21.—(Corres- pondence of the Assoclated Press)—The proposal of France contained in her reply to the German note regarding the Chinese settlement, to level the fortifications from | Pekin to the sea and prohibit the importa- tion of arms, has attracted much favorable comment here. In fact the proposition to destroy the fortifications in the north fs simply volcing formally another, which has heen freely discussed by military men in this section. They have openly advocated such stepsas a military precaution in the event that only a legation guard is left kere Naturally the leveling of the wails Pekin and Tien Tein and the destruction of the forts at the mouth of the rivers is w0t to be considered so loug as the allles occupy this province, but it seems to be the general bellef that such a step would | be necessary should the army of occupation withdraw. The fortifications at Pekin have | been fully described in the Associated Press dispatches, and their value from a military point of view, as well as the moral effect they have on the Chinese, s well understood. Here In Tien Tsin, the con ditions are practically the same, though on a smaller scale. Around the native elty 18 a brick wall some thirty feet in height, backed with banked dirt, of almost the consistency of adobe, varying in thickness trom ten to twenty feot. Its few gates are covered and of groat thickness aud, as will be remembered, made hard fighting for the allies. To the southwest this brick wall presents a solid front, broken only by loopholes and embrasures near the top, to the plains and marshes which encircle the city. Outside of it cluster groups of huts. Some of the houses are built close to the brick wall, the wall ftselt forming the rear partition and beyond them lie pools, stagnant and foul, and weedy 18 some feot above the level of the country Walls Should Be Leveled. An American officer of high rank and experience dating from the civil war, and who has closely observed the fortifications around Tien Tsin, said to the correspond- ent of the Assoclated Press: These walls and outlying huts, having hundreds of people amid foul surroundings, #hould be leveed before the cupation_ends, It s both a mil & sanitary n asity rom all 1 from Iuropean residents, the Chin & value on these ancient, but still efclent works, far beyond thelr military value. They regard them as a protection in event of further troubls and look upon the fact that they are still intact as evidence of the forelgners’ weakness. The sanitary phase of the matter has also been discussed, but In the present disturbed and unsettled condition it has not been able to crystalize itself into action. It has been proposed to use the debris from the walls to fill in the marshy pools and to reconstruct wide and straight thoroughfares in place of the present nar- row, torturous Chinese alleys. As condi- tions now are, however, there is no one to take the initlative. The provisional gov- ernment of the native city does not fecl warranted in taking any steps, particur- larly as the project contemplates a heavy expenditure of funds. large forts on the banks of the Pel Ho be- tween here and Taku, and in Tien Tsin there s one very strong work, which did most of the damage during the bombard- ment. That they will eventually be de- stroyed s belleved to be more probable, al- though the International aspect of such radical action has not been taken into con- slderation by those who proposed the step. The fine forts at Taku also must be | disposed of, and already military men here are discussing these minor phases which must enter into the settlement. Sales of Arma to China Must Stop. The French proposal to prohibit the im- portation of arms has alsd been com- mended. the sale of arms and ammunition and It 1s impossible to even approximate the number of guns which have been sold here in the last ten or fifteen years. In addi- tion to these, immense quantities of arms and ammunition have been manufactured n the great arsenal east of Tien Tsin This 1s one of the largest and most com- plete military plants in the world and its fine machinery has been & matter of much | interest to the officers of the allied forces. It is reported that the Russians, who oc- cupy the arsenal, are removing much of the machinery and shipping it to Port Arthur. This, however, while stated on apparently rellable authority, cannot be confirmed. Museum of Antiquated Guns. The west arsenal, which with the mint was taken and has been held by the United | Btates forces, 1s a military storeroom and at the same time & military curiosity shop, As relics and curios the weapons it holds are probably worth more than an equal number of modern small arms, though u large quantity of comparatively new pleces were found there. Hundreds of cases of straight-pull Manlicher rifles are stored in the warerooms, rusted and almost useless from lack of care. Almost as many breech- loading Mauser carbines were found and any quantity of ammunition. Apparently the out-of-date arms of the world been unloaded on China by agents. large storeroom is filled with cheap, old- model, double-barreled, muzzle-loading shot guns, of dozens of makes and patterns. There are old muskets of 1861 Winflelds, Springfields, Sharpe and dozens of other equally antiquated, single-shot and magazipe sporting guns, anclent re- volvers, two-lhanded swords, much like a corn knife, and jingals, or two-man guns, by the hundred. While most of the jingals are old muzzle-loaders, sixtoer fect long and welghing nearly 100 pouuds, there were found a few of comparatively modern make, Trey are duplicaten of the breecbloading rifles on a scale of about three to cne and carry & ball wolghing from one-calf to three quarters of a pound. Two handsome Nordenfeldt magazino fleld pleces, found in ome of the armories, have been put in order and mounted on the walls In front of There Is really little of much the arsenal.

Aside from the fact that Bern- hardt has just returned to this country after an sbsence of five years, the occa- slon was made notable by her appearance with M. Constant Coquelin. This was the first time that the two great artists have |appeared together since 1881, when they left | the Comedie Francaise and made their first appearance in the United States. In addi- tion to this, “L'Alglon” was played in this |country in its entirety for the first time. 180 large was the attendance that it was absolutely necessary to stop selling even |admission tickets at the highest prices, Bernhardt's engagement In this clty under the direction of Maurice Grau will last five weeks.

The historic Den was aglow with a coro- t night, as 500 llegemen athered to the banquet and grew merry over the reminiscences of good times gone by and better days at hand. It was the annual feast and busi- ness session of the knights, a happy mingling of sentiment with dollars and cents. The feature over which the royal retinue grew most jubilant was the report of Treasurer H. J. Penfold, which disclosed a cash balance in the treasury of $8,757.68. A further asset brings the contents of Sumson's coffers up to $9,632.68. This sum |is looked upon as a substantial nest egg from which to hatch amother serles of | brilllant happenings. The treasurer's report as audited by C. L. Deuel and Harry Jordan is given below. The revenue from the oriental carnival is announced for the first time and the $15,- 210.20 which-it produced was Instrumental in throwing the balance upon the right side.

The next task undertaken by the knights was the selection of nine names from which the Board of Governors s em- powered to select three as successors of its trio of retiring members, R. 8. Wilcox, Fred Metz and Edgar Allen. The com- pany placed the retiring members at the head of the list of nominations in appreci- ation of thelr faithtul service, and in addi- tlon suggested to the governors the fol- lowing candidates for honor: W. R. Ben- nett, Ward Burgess, Robert Cowell, Rev. B. F. Trefz, John A. Kuhn, Fred Paffen- rath. During the Interval of the balloting sub- scription cards were circulated and the following pledges secured to float the 1901 parade: J. L. Brandels & Son, $250; Metz Brewing company, $150; Browning, King & Co., The Bee Publishing company, Thomp- son, Belden & Co., Rome Miller, Bemls Omaha Bag company, Dally News, Thomas Kilpatrick & Co., Paxton & Gallagher, M B. Smith & Co., Byrne-Hammer Dry Goods company, each $100; R. G. Dun & Co., $50. With business thus happily dispensed with Grand Muft! W. R. Bennett, toast- master, announced a program of tomsts following an invocation by Rev. Clarence B. Sargent, pastor of the St. Mary's Ave- nue Congregational church. Mr. Bennett spoke of his first meeting with the knights, a mere handful of chevaliers gathered in a Iittle hall down town. He had felt the keenest pleasure in their growth and 1m observing that they held the highest con- fidence of the public because they dealt in facts. The parade next fall, Mr. Ben- nett sald, will surpass any in the history of the realm. Benefits to B ™M President Thomas A. Fry made an enter- taining statement of the year's work, a series of the most successful productions ever displayed In the city. He urged each business man to do his full share so that the burden would be light on all. The were a number of firms last fall, he sald, which had not appreciated the benefit which the fall festival had brougtht them until they came to count up the profits resulting from others' labors. 1If the carni- val had not proved such an unbounded suc- cess, Mr. Fry polinted out, the treasurer would have been obliged to report a de- fleit instead of a surplus, M. Clendenning, the guest of the even- ing, related some of the experiences in the conduct the Priests of Pallas parade in Kansas City, and in the constructlon of the two convention halls there. Mr. Clenden- ning had previously been of the greatest assistance to the knights in his capaclty of secretary of the Kansas City Commercial club, and was given a royal welcome, Mr. Clendenning rejoiced in the friendly rela- tlonship which has been established be- tween the two rival cities through the in- tercourse of business men. He praised the annual parades, first from the selfish point of view that “civic virtue as well as moral virtue brings its own reward,” anl then from the more broad standpoint of thelr artistic, educational and pleasure- glving qualities.” In responding to the “Business and Soclal Relations of Omaha and South Omaha," Rev. Irving P. Johnson of the lat- ter city urged Omaha people to take a more personal interest in the Magle Clty's welfare in order that the boundary line might not prove a Chinese wall. John L. Kennedy urged that the fall festivities be continued with unremitting vigor, as he believed their influence for g000d could scarcely be overrated. The histary of the auditorium project was briefly outlined by F. E. S8anborn, who reported that since its Inception, follow- ing the musical festival's bequest in Oc- tober, it had accumulated a subscription Iist of nearly $100,000, The program was concluded with inter- esting responses by Robert Cowell upon “‘Ak-Sar-Ben from a Retaller's View,” and Rev. E. F. Trefz upon "“Omaha and Its Future.” * —— Tenderness or aching in the small of the back is & serious symptom. The kidneys are suffering. Take Prickly Ash Bitters at once.

COUNCILMEN LISTEN TO TAXPAYERS Representative Citizens Urge the Council to Make Hetrenchment in Every Ponsib Way. One hundred thousand dollars worth of tunding bouds will not be issued for the purpose of paying off the floating indebted- ness of the city. At a general commlittes meeting held yesterday afternoon the coun- cllmen defeated the bond ordinance by & vote of 7 to 2, Messrs, Hascall and Trostler being the two members who supported the ordinance and were unwilling to have it placed on file. A large crowd of representative citizens who attended the meeting urged the coun- ol to make retrenchmeats in every way possible and meet the city’s obligations with- out increasing the bonded indebtedness. W. 8. Poppleton and several other men emphasized the fact that it {s not necessary o lssue the funding bonds. A resulution by W. H.
