TIIE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1000. 0 1 GREAT WALLS MAYBE RAZED Deitruction of Ancient Defense! of Ohineso Cities in Contemplation. MILITARY AND SANITARY NECESSITY United States Troop" Find on TnkltiR Possession of ttVit Arsennl In tercNlliiK Collection ot Am'lent firearm. TIEN T8IN, China, Oct. 21. (Corrw pondonco ot the Associated Press.) Tho proposal of Franco contained In her reply to tho Gorman noto regarding the Chlneso Bottlcraont, to level tho fortifications from Pokln to tho sea and prohibit the Importa tion of arms, has attracted much favorable comment hcrp. In fact tho proposition to destroy tho fortifications In the north Is simply v'otclni? foimally another, which has heon freely discussed by military men In this soetlon. They havo openly advocated such steps as a military precaution In the event that only a legation guard Is left here. Naturally tho leveling of tho walls of Pokln and Tien TbIh and tho destruction of tho forts at tho mouth of the rivers Is not to bo considered so long as tho allien occupy this province, but It seems to bo tho general belief that such a step would bo necessary should tho array of occupation withdraw. The fortifications at Pckln have bocn fully described In tho Associated Press dispatches, and their vnluo from a military point of vlow, ns well as tho moral effoct they liavo on tho Chinese, Is well understood. Hero In Tien Tsln, tho con ditions aro practically tho same, though on a smaller scalo. Around tho native city Is a brick wall somo thirty feet In height, backed with banked dirt, of almost tho consistency of adobe, varying In thickness from ten to twenty foot. Its few gates aro covered and of gr.&t thickness aud, as will bo remembered, mado hard fighting for tho nlllcs. To tho southwest this brick wall prosontB a solid front, broken only by loopholes and embrasures near tho top, to tho plains and marshes which encircle thu city. Outsido of It cluster groups of huts. Somo of tho houses aro built close to tho brick wall, tho wall UboU forming tho rear partition and boyond them lie pools, stagnant and foul, and weedy marshes formed by the ficcpago from tho river, which Is somo feot nbovo tho level of tho country. WnlU Should lie Leveled. An American officer of high rank and experience dating from tho civil war, and who has closely observed tho fortifications around Tien Tsln, said to the correspond ent of tho Associated Press; Theso walls nnd outlying huts, hnvtng hundreds of ponplo nmld foul surroundings, should bo levied before thu present oc cupation ends. .It is hnth a military nnd a sanitary necessity. From all I can learn from European residents, tho Chinese pluco a vuluu on these nnclent, but still efficient works, far beyond their military value. They regard them ns a protection In event of further trouble nnd look upon the fact that they aro still Intact as evidence of the foreigners' weakness. Thu sanitary phaso ot tho matter has also been discussed, but In tho present disturbed and unsettled condition It has not been ablo to crystallzo itself Into action. It has been proposed to uso tho debris from tho walls to fill In the marshy pools and to reconstruct wldo and straight thoroughfares In placo of tho present nar row, torturous Chlneso alleys. As condi tions now nro, howevor, there Is no one to take tho Initiative Tho provisional rjov crnment of tho natlvo city does not feel warranted In taking any stops, partlcur larly as tho project contemplates a heavy : expeudlturo ot funds. There are several largo forts on tho banks of tho Pel Ho be tween hero and Taku, and In Tien Tsln thero Is oho very Btrong work, which did most of tho daraago during tho bombard mont. That they will eventually lie de stroyed Is believed to bo moro probable, al thougri tho International aspect of such radical action has not been taken Into con sideration by thoBo who proposed tho step. Tho flno forts at Taku also must bo disposed of, and already military men hero aro discussing theso minor phases which must enter Into tho settlement. Hnles of Anns to Chliiu .Hunt Stop. Tho French proposnl to prohibit tho Im portation of arms has also" been com mended. China has been a rich field for the salo ot arms nnd ammunition and It Is lmposslblo to even approximate tho number of guns which have been sold hero In tho Inst ten or fifteen years. In addi tion to these. Immense quantities of arms and ammunition havo been manufactured In tlin great arsenal east of Tien Tsln. This is one of tho largest and most com plete military plants In tho world and Its fine machinery has been a matter of much Interest to tho officers of tho allied forces. It Is reported that tho Russians, who oc cupy tho arsenal, aro removing much of tho machinery nnd shipping It to Port Arthur. This, howovor, whllo stated on apparently rellablo authority, cannot bo confirmed. MiiNfiim of Antiquated Cluim. The west arsenal, which with the mint v.ao taken and has been held by the United States forces, Is a military storeroom and at the snmo lime u military curiosity shop. As relics and curios tho weapons It holds nro probably worth moro than an equal number of modern small arms, though u large quantity of comparatively new pieces were found there. Hundreds of cases ot slralghl'pull Manlichor rifles nro stored in the warerooms, rusted and almost useless from lack of care. Almost as many brecch loadlng Mauser carbines were found and nny quantity of ammunition. Apparently tho out-of-date arms ot the world havo been unloaded on China by agents. Tho largo storeroom Is tilled with cheap, old model( double-barreled, muzzlu-loadlng shot guns, of dozens of makes and patterns, Thero nro old muskets of 1SC1 patterns, Wluflolds, Sprlngtlelds, Sharpo and dozens of other equnlly antiquated, single-shot nnd tnngazlne sporting guns, ancient re volvers,, two-lhandcd swords, much like a corn knlfo, and Jlngals, or two-man guns, by tho hundred. While most of tho Jlngals aro old muzzle-loaders, alxttec feet long nd weighing nearly 100 pound), thero woro found a few of comparatively modern mako. They aro duplicate!) of tho brcecbloadlng rifles on a scalo of about tbrco to ono aud carry a ball wolghlng from one-halt to threo quarters of a pouud. Two handsomo Nordenfeldt magazlno field pieces, found In one of the armories, havo been put In order nnd mounted on tho walls In front ot the arsenal.

J AMUSEMENTS. t "AcronH the l'uolllc" Anyono who has ever seen one of the numerous plays that have escaped from the pen of Charles E. Hlanoy will not nocd to be told that his latest creation Is full of red-lire, shiver music and Impossibilities. Thcso are tho materials ot which this too prolific playwright brews the hectic con glomerations ho foists upon tho public and If they were not avallablo ho would, per force, bo obliged to lay tho weary pen aside. For this reason It Is a matter of re gret that they are at hand. ' Further than this, anyono who has seen his brother, Harry Clay lllaney, attempt to act, will not need to bo Informed that ho possesses the faculty of ruining whatever ho touches. For somo years paBt this would be thesplan has been laboring under the hallucination that ho 1b an uctor and, al though ho has been told, tlmo and ngalu, that his real calling Is that ot a inula driver or a wtelder of a pickax among thoso who pursue tho honorablo calling ot dlgglug sowers, laying water mains, gas pipes and other similar vocations, he persists In thrusting his personality before the public, totally oblivious of the disgust which every appenrunco excites afresh. This may not speak volumes for Mr, Ulanoy's perspicuity, but It bears eloquent testimony to tho en during qualities of his nerve. "Across tho Pacific" is a melodrama In all that the word Implies.

The pressuro from every interest that suffers from th!3 particular taxation Is sure to be strong, though tho willingness to allow the stamp duty, llko tho traditional affliction of bolls, to bo borno by tho other fellow, may bo general.
