sING.-The most amusing topic Of con.
vcrsation to-day among those who saw it was
Judge Uudcrw GODS letter, which appears in
another column. The whole composition is re-
markable, but probably the two strangest things
about it are tina, it should have been printed as
though written in this city, when everybody
knows the Judge don t live here, and that the
attempted assassination, TO which it alIules,
should hive been located on the wain street Of

first knowledge of the existence of this land was
given to the civilized world by Lieutenant Fer
diuand Wrangell, of the Russian Navy, (whO l
find in 1910 was an Admiral in the same service).
In his expeditions from Nishne Kolymsk in the
consecutive years from 1920 to 1924 he obtained
information from the Tschuktschi that in clear
days in the summer season they could see land
north from Cape Jakan."
Capt. Long has always been an enthusiast

entering through Bhering Straits and working
with the current which sets up through the
straits Taking such a mild season as the pres
ent, an expedition would undoubtedly have been
perfectly successful.

SOurhl Africa,

Is proving TO be a new field for British enterprise
and capital, and the trade between the mother
country and her young colony is increasing with
that rapidity which it always developes when
backed by home capital. With this increase of
trade spreads the English language, which seems
to be fast becoming tbs language of the world.
The for;y-fve millions of North America, the
numerous colonies Of the Pacific, and Asia, all
adopt the English as the leading language
of commerce. In Africa, English colonies are
sPinging up on the western. southern and eastern
coasts, and the trade OF three thousand miles of

Were, at the latest adyices, likely TO become Ell
tangled in the Spanish revolution, by the capture
Of three of the Spanish war vessels which had
Joined the insurgents, and had been proclaimed
by The government to be pirates The German
frigaie Frederick Carl made the first capture
that Of the TIgilante. From statement pub
lished by the German Consul at Cartbagena, it
appears that the capture was made without firing
shot, the insurgent crew surrendering to Capt.
Werner OF the Frederick Carl on the demand Of
the latter. When the insurgents heard of the
capture they sent commissioners on board TO
learn on what terms the prisoners and vessel
would be released. Capt. Werner at once told
the Commissioners that he had not the slightest
intention to interfere in the domestic affairs of
Carthagena, but that international law had given
him both the right and imposed it upon him as
duty to seize any vessel suspected of piracy.
To avoid, however, further complication, which
might lead to bloodshed, and to spare the Ger
man inhabitants of CarthageDa all those annoy
ances they might be exposed to we're he to insist
on a very close observance of the law, Capt.
Werner was willing to set the prisoners at liberty
on the following conditions:
FSrst-The IDsnrgent Government must recognize
that its flag is justly regarded irregular, and that
tue capture of the Vigilane was therefore, perfectly
legal and in accordance with international law.
SeeoRd-fhc InsBrgeut Government, to insure pro-
ecfion of life and property to the German, British
and other foreign subjects.

Carhagena. aud carrying the red flag, to leave the

by Captain Werner.
F0urh-The Vigilante to remain at the disposal |
of her legitimate owners.
After few hours deliberation the Insurgent
Government Commission returned on board to
say that the terms had been accepted. Both /
parties accordingly ratified an agreement to the
above edict.

Chinese Costumes.

There can be no doubt that il the Chinese who
migrate to foreign countries were to give up the
peculiar costumes which render them so con-
spicuous, and adopt that Of the people among
whom they dwell. the strong prejudices against
them which exist in some countries would
be dispelled, and their identity would soon be
lost in the multitude of the populace. They
possess many of the requisites of good citizens
they are industrious. thrifty, and make reliable
laborers. artizans, mechanics, farmers, or store
clerks and merchants. IF they can be induced,
as most other emigrants are, to give up national
peculiarities and become citizens of the country
they reside 10, we see no reason why they may
not be as welcome as any other emigrants in
America and Europe.
The japanese are noted for the facility with
which they lay aside their national costumes and
adopt those of the country they migrate to-
Hence prejudice against them is dsarmed of its
power and they become an unnotced class among
the people. There are here now some thirty or
forty Japanese, but it would be difficult for a
stranger to distinguish them. The same is true
of the Japanese, in California their identity is
lost among the crowds which swarm the cities
and towns.
The Chinese, here and elsewhere. possess in
themselves the power to remove all prejudice
which exists against them, chiefly in foreign
countries, by adopting the costumes of the peo-
pie among whom they live. The act by no means
involves any disloyalty to their native land
Even il it did, it we're better to resolve to
remain permanent citizens of the country they
migrate to, enjoy its benefits aud blessings, than
to deprive themselves by their own folly. of
political and social privileges. For these rea-
sons, we think that all Cinnamon would be much
better of, were they to abandon the costumes of
their own country, and adopt those of the people
with HON they live.

Mexico

Has long had her domestic peace disturbed By a
class of provincial chieftains. who have been
noted for their de6aut attitude and bravery.
Among these none has of late years attracted
more notice or caused the government more
trouble than Lozado, who has lately been cap
tured. OF his capture one Of our-exchange says !:
/" By way Of 7Matamoras We have the welcome
news that the Federal Mexican army met and
defeated the army under Lozado, somewhere in
the State Of Jalisco and that Lozado himself
has been captured. OF all the modern rO5ber
chiefs who have disturbed the.pea of Mexico
in the last twenty years this man has been at
once the most daring and powerful. He is de-
scribed as haf-breed, of fierce character, able
in generalship, of great popularity and the reso-
lutte enemy of law and order. He has hardly
come out worsted, and his name has been more
feared than that Of any other rebel chief in the
Renublic. Cuiliacau, strong military location
10 the mountains far back from Mazatlan, has
been his rendezvous. Time and again he has
descended fron there and put Mazatan and Topic
under contribution whenever the provincial au
thorities displeased him !; and when the Central
Government came with an army to punish him,
if he was strong enough he would 60 out, meet
and defeat it, and exact his own terms of settle
ment. If not, be would fall back among his
mountains and defy pursuit. The populace were
generally on his side, from motives of fear in
part, aud partly in sympathy with his daring de-
hance OF authority. At last he was ventured out
too far and been ruined and taken captive. 1t
will be great relief to the States, and to Mazat-
Ian and Topic in particular. Let US hope they
will now find rest from the constant tOrays of the
briganjs and under the protection of regular
array gain time to execute some of the many
plausible schemes which are talked Of for the
development Of the fine capabilities of the north
western States of the Mexican republic.
