"Oh, you wretch" hissed Mrs. X.
''And when she got beside him she smiled

having circular hole about six inches in d.
ameter cut in its front face, and the back
covered by a piece of tightly stretched can
vas or linen, was employed. The vapors of
ammonia and hydrochloric acid were admit
ted to the box, which soon became filled with
the white smoke of chloride of ammonium.
A sharp but gentle tap on the canvas back
drove out puff of the smoke, which trav-
ersed the room in the form of beautiful
ring. So great velocity can be impaired to
these vortex rings that. even when at con-

How the Veto was Received In China.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-The following
was received per ship North American, from
Yokohama:
'HoNG KONG, April 9.-News of the veto
of the anti Chinese bill exciles various and
conflicting comments. Americans through
out China express satisfaction al the rejection
of so summary plan tor dlsposing of the
question at issue. Europeans merely cvince
surprise, having in most cases anticipated
different action. The Chinese take contra
dictory views even among themselves and IN
the immediate neighbor of Hong Kong, the
port of immigration, where friends and re-
lati0ns of Chinese now in America reside.
Much qualification is shown. The idea ap-
pears to prevail that future prosecutions will
be impossible, but there are no indications of
increased departures around Shanghai, and
the populace are apparently Indifferent and
officials reticent Private Hdvices from Pc
king warrant the supposition that the veto
will not be received with unmixed pleasure.
1t is reported on good authority that the gov
ernment had prepared for Il contrary result,
and intended to take advantage of the bill as
a precedent for strong measures here. 1t is
even probable that the the Chinese Minister
in America was provided some time since
with special instructions to announce retalia-
tory proceedings. Under the changed aspect
of affairs the precise bill on this point will be
difficult to discover. 1t is certain however
that after learning of the passage of the bill
by the House representative members Of
Tsung Ii Yamen displayed feelings reverse to
disappointment. Many foreign residents of
Peking are convinced that the Government
would have welcomed an excuse for initiat-
ing extreme anti-foreign, or at least anti
American, policy. These statements COM
municated in good faith and with perfect
confidence in their accuracy, though it is i'm
possible to verify them with absolute certain

NEW YORK Tribune: Stealing a State is
the latest manifestation of enterprise in the
Far West. The scheme seems to be fully
organized. The State to be captured is the
Indian Territory; the thieves are various
citizens of Kansas who are acting as the
agents of several railroads which will be
greatly benefited by the destruction and par
tition of the Indian Territory Between one
and two thousand Of these persons have al
ready passed from Kansas into the Territory,
and are continuing to invade a region where
they have no right to settle, in spite of the
proclamation of the President. 1t is said
that the Capital Of the new Territory, or
State, as these robbers hope soon to make it,
has been chosen, and that they have even
gone out with full outfit for newspaper.
Further emigration is stimulated by the dis
tribution OF lying circulars. assuring the pub
lie that the lands of the Indian Territory are
open to settlement, thus tending to draw
many ignorant persons into the movement.
To appreciate the full enormity of this plot,
it must be remembered that the Indian Ter
ritory is sacredly reserved to the Indian
tribes by the most solemn engagements, of
treaty and of statute, on the part Of the
United States. This forcible raid upon it bv
these railroads is simply an attempt to seize
BY violence what Congress has repeatedly
refused to grant. If this outrage succeeds.
the name of our Government will be made
infamous.
