COMMODORE sHUFELDT TO CON.
MAND THE CHINESE NAVY.

The United States is 10 furnish a
commander Of the Chinese navy. The
Posi- to-day will print the following
particulars of the acceptance, by an
American naval officer, of the iupor-
tant command
A few days ago an order "a issued
detaehing commodore Robt. w. Sehu-
feldt from special duty in this city, and
detailing him as naval attache TO the
United States legation at Peking. The
reason this order has just been made
known is, that during the commodore's
cruise around the world in the Ticon-
deroga, be had an audience with Leon
Chang, yiceroy of China, and was Of
ferred the command of the Chinese
navy-that government being DESTROYS
of recognizing its navy on modern, and
especially American, principles. The
offer was a iattering one, but eommo-
dore Shufeldt, being then on govern
ment duty, could not accept. He gave
the matter a serious consideration, and
upon his return to this country decided
to accept the position. He was aided
to this determination by Secretary
elaine, who was heartily in favor of
him accepting the position, believing
that 1t would have some effect in
breaking up England's supremacy in
the east. The order for attaching the
commodore to legation at Peking was
made that his expenses could be paid
by the government. The salary at
tached To Shufeldt's new position is
$4,000 a year. He will leave WASH
ington in time 10 reach San Francisco
on the 10th of May, on which date the
steamer sails for Toxic. He will be
accompanied by his daughter. The
commodore expects to be absent about
a year and a half.
The selection of any American, and
particularly Commodore Shufeldt, by
the Chinese government, is a matter of
congratulation, and in naval circles
especially is regarded with no small
degree Of pleasure. From what can be
learned, it appears that the whole mat
ter was quite an affair Of state. England
for a long time has been endeavoring
to obtain control Of the Chinese navy.
The government Of the latter country,
however, was aware that England and
Russia were two great powers, strug-
Cling for supremacy in the east. 1t
was afraid, naturally. that its navy, in
England's hands, would be used for
England's advancement and perhaps as
an aid in its fight for power against
Russia. 1t therefore looked for some one
who should not be interested on either
side. There were no Frenchmen of
any naval ability to be had, and the
arrival of Commodore Shufeldt at
China was the most opportune for that
government. He Is In appearance a
mar exactly calculated to win favor in
tho eyes Of a Chinaman, being of mag
ni6cent physique, sturdy, common sense,
and foremost among the naval officers
Of the nation.

THE New York Times comments:
1.-THE way of the independent senator
is hard. David Dayis is an indepen-
dent senator; he feels obliged to make
an explanatory speech whenever he
votes. Once he has voted on the dem
ocratic side-with a speech, and once
he has voted o. the republican side
with a speech. Now that he is fairly
launched on his sea of troubles, he
should go on voting on either side or
both sides with wild recklessness, which
is peculiarly his own. Independent
Senator Davis will lose his dignity II he
continually pauses in his Roman toga,
crying, look at me and see an in~carna-
ton of virtue"

The Twins EntireIy Eclip-
le0.

Vienna physicians have been examin-
ing with much interest a three-year-old
pair of twins, who are not less of a Gu
riosity than the Siamese twins were.
From the breastbone down they have
but one body; above that they are
wholly separate and complete organ
isms. They have only two legs and feet
but four arms. The sense OF feeling in
the two upper parts is entirely distinct
and individual. At the moment of
medical inspection one of the heads
looked peevish, and occasionally cried
on account of a painful tooth, while
the other looked fresh and lively and
shouted "Mammal''
The inner arms come in conflict and
cause fights between the twins. Though
the pair have but one body below the
breast they do not get hungry at the
same time. The left foot seems to be
connected only with the left head, and
the right foot with the right head. One
of the feet was pinched and only the
head on that side cried out.

why Mr.. Herman Gave a Queer Look

A friend from Washington tells me
a good story about Fair, the new sena-
tor from Nevada. Ho says Fair is a
irst-rate fellow, with a rich Irish brogue
which will perhaps be the butt of the
senate, but won't mind it. The other
day Fair met Daggett, the republican
congressman from Nevada, and said to
him.

bill, because 1 have a bond or two my
