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.

large quantity of comparatively new pieces
were found there. Hundreds of cases ot

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

Anyono who has ever seen one of the

If they were not avallablo ho would, per

totally oblivious of the disgust which every

The trustees of Dundee have sent a
protest to the county commissioners aralnst
the recent levying of n poll tax on the
villagers. Tho protest was placed In tho
hands of an attorney. It specifies that the
commissioners aro not authorized under
tho statutes to levy such 11 tax unless it Is
eertltled by tho residents of the village.
It Is contended that If the tax Is comcted
tho county clerk will have to pay the
proceeds over to the trustees of Dundee.
The trustees maintain thnt a poll tax has
not been levied against the villagers since
Djndeo became Incorporated. For rhuf
reason they ask that the tax be declared

William Ulack, the Scotch Novelist:

The Times-Democrat, Now Orleans:
"Ho who hag the Standard at his el

nunclntlon, or derivation of a word,
or for Its compounds, synonyms, an
tonyms, or phrase use, wilt never
ncsd another dictionary to help htm
