THE CHINESE QUESTION i.

The malicious falsehood that one hun

bringing the Chinese question before

to an investigation of the evils which

The Sultan's speech from the Throne
CoNsTANTINoPLE. Dec. IA.
In his speech from the throne yester-

began the war; that Turkey, compelled
to defend herself against aggression,
had offered the utmost resistance, as
evinced by the self-lenial of all classes.
and their courage; the Turkish soldiers
had excited the admiration of the
world. His Majesty, with special APP
probation for the national civic guards,
and his non Mussulman subjects, had
shown a conscientious desire TO share
in the defense of the country. The
Constitution granted to non Mussul-
man subjects perfect equality In the
eyes of the law. therefore, as they had
acquired corresponding duties at the
same time. it WAS only natural that
they should share in the military ser
vice, and the Government had decided
to enlist non Mussulman subjects in
the ranks of the army. The only safe
guard for the Empire was to completely
carry out the Constitution. The Sui
tan's dearest wish was to see all classes
of bis subjects enjoying the blessings
of complete equality, and the country
profit by the acceptance Of modern
ideas

Discussing the Chinese Question.
The Chinese question Was the lead
ing topic OF attention TO day at the
Cabinet meeting. Recent reports to
the President from San Francisco III
addition TO several papers on this sub
ject brought to his attention at various
times were laid before the Cabinet. aud
made matter OF very earnest consid-
Grafton. 1t was explained at the meet.
ing that the recent report from the six
companies was all exaggerated state
ment of disorders that occurred; but
the President has been advised from
several sources of condition of affairs
which may eventuate in serious trouble.
A feeling is therefore entertained by
the President and members of the Cab
met that a necessity exists for taking
careful view OF the matter and
have tire prolonged discussion to-day.
No conclusion was reached, and con
sideratlon of the subject will be con
tinued alta future meeting Of the Cabi-
net. Members OF the Government are
not unmlndful OF the ability of the
proper and civil authorities in San
Francisco to prevent outrages Of the

but it may be requisite 10 give assist

occurrence OF any serious trouble. The
question OF treaty relations between the
two countries was considered. The
views Of some members of the Cabinet
seem to be that some modification
might be mode in orderto limit the im-
portation OF Chinese, and il is not un-
likely tho President will some time
make the Chinese question the subject
of u special message to one or both

Burying Alive.

Two stories of burying women alive
have got into the papers recently. The
more horrible case, and one too brutal to
believe, is that reported from Towson-
town, Md, where farmer named Sta
plies is accused Of entombing alive a
young woman in his employ. 1t is said
that the girl was being buried in the
presence of Staples, his sOn-in- law, a
negro, Mrs. Staples, and two other la.
dies, and when the coffin, which had
been rudely constructed of pine boards
by Staples himself, was lowered to the
grave, the two ladies heard a voice from
the coffin crying out, so Lord" They
demonstrated against the burial being
proceeded with, but without effect. The
next day the corpse was eXhumed, and
it was found that the body had turned,
the arms were abraded and blood bad
issued from the nose, while the hands
were clutched in the hair. After the
elimination Staples complained to the
States Attorney that the grave had been
desecrated and wanted the parties prose-
cuted And now the whole affair is be-
ing Investigated by the authorities. The
other case of questionable death is that
of Mrs. Cairo, a French woman of Jersey
City. Upon her supposed death two
neighbors, Mrs Calhoun and her daugh
ter, prepared the body for burial ~

1894 Congress added two stars and two
stripes to the flag (the change taking
effect in May, 1880 for Vermont and
Kentucky, the act being passed only
after considerable debate, its opponents
believing that the flag should be pre-
served in its original form in pcrpetuity.
The war of 1812-14 was fought under
this banner. In 1918 a bill reducing the
stripes to the original number of thirteen
and directing the adoption of stars equal
to the number of States, new star to be
added on the 4th of July next succeeding
the admission of each new State, was
passed and approved This was the de-
sign of Capt. Samuel &. Reid, who in
1914 defended so heroically the brig Gen
eral Armstrong against a superior British
force in Fayal Roads, though his sugges
ton that the stars be arranged in one
large star was not formally adopted.
The stars in the union flags used by
the War Department are generally thus
arranged; in the navy flags they are in
variably set in parallel lines The blue
union used separately is the union jack.
The revenue flag, adopted in 1893, has
sixteen perpendicular stripes, alternate
ly red and white, with a white union
bearing the national arms in dark blue.
The union used separately is the revenue
jack. The yacht flag is the same as the
national flag, but on the blue union it
bears white foul-anchor in circle of
thirteen stars.-N Y. World.
