OF THE COMING OF
THE PRESIDENT
No Demonstration Will
Accompany Arrival of
Chief Executive.
PURE OF VISIT FORBIDS, IT.
Mayor Robertson has received lu-
1 foimatlon that President Roosevelt ex
fleets to visit Canton during his west-
orn trip. me exact lime flas not Deen
authoritatively announced but it is e
pocted to bo on Monday, October C,
' previously reported
Private advices received in Canton
arQ tnnt Fresldent Roosevelt desires to
ee Mrs. 'McKlnloy and pay his tributo
of respect to her and alsoto the mem
ory pf the last president. Under these
circumstances It Is not expected that
theip will be any public demonstration
whatever in Canton, as it Is thought
this would be7 entirely inconsistent
with the president's wishes and not In
accord with the purposo of his visit
here. It Is therefore expected that the
simplest kind of a reception and escort
will be given to the president, the na-
turo of which will not be detei mined
upon until information can be received
from Secretary Cortelyou.
It Is bolleved that the visit hera
will bo but for an hour or two and
that tho time will be occupied by the
president In calling at the McKinloy
residence and then going to the Mc
Kinley tomb at Westlawn and possibly
to tne proposea aicruniey monumont

THE PEOPLE ARE REBELLING
-AGAINST UNJUST TAXATION
Natives are Becomlngil Panic
Stricken and Are Fleeing to

The Worst Is Feared.
(News-Democrat Leased Wlro Servlco,)
London, Sept. 22. Tho latest ad
vices from Hong Kong today confirm
the gravo fears, which have been
steadily growing, of another Boxer up
rising in China. In somo of the
provinces natives are already becom
ing panic stricken and arc fleeing to
tho sheltering walls of tho cities for
protection. Tho outbreak from all in
dications will ccllpso that of 1900 in
point of bloodshed and pillage.
Tho people aro oppressed by taxes
made necessary by the foreign Indem
nity and under tho commercial treaty,
tho Llkin' tax Is abolished, which
means that nearly half a million men
with those dependent on them, will be
deprived of their means of living. Tho
tax Is a barrier tax, collected, llko tho
tolls on tho European highway, at cer
tain points along canals and roads, by
persons to whom the collection is
farmed out by authorities. It acts as
a protective tariff to tho workers of
each and overy section of the country;
This Is the reason that foreigners
want It abolished while the natives
wish It retained.
So far tho rebellion In Szechwcn Is
local, but it may soon become genoral,
for tho ofllclals everywhere have im
pressed upon tho people that tho In
crease of taxes Is an exaction im
posed by the hated foreigners, ana
from one end of China to the other tno
bitterness Is Increasing to fever point.
