On the bank Of the kennebec river, q
few miles below Bath, Maine, lives m
old lady. Years ago she cried so vio-
lently when about to be married that it
was with difficulty she could be paci-
fed. On being interrogatcd us to the
cause of her great grief. she replied
that it made her sad to think she was
to live 50 near to the steep hank of the

be in danger Of falling over and being

THE PR0rEUs INQUIRY.
Lieut.. Commander Bowman III. Mccall,
q. 3. n, Tess,Ges Before the Court.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81.
Lieut.. Commander Bowman H. Mccall,
q. S. N, testified to having made an IN
spection of the Proteus in company with
Gen Hazen and found all parts of the ship,
including boilers, in excellent condition. He
conversed with Capt. Pike and with the chief
engineers of the vessel and found them CON-
petent a. far a. he was able to judge. He
examined the compasses and boats and pro-
nounced them good. He said if had had the
selection he should have selected the ship
and captain and chief engineer.
Gen. Hszen then read letter from Lieut..
Greedy to the owners of the proteus highly
endorsing Capt. Pike, which he asked to be
Crowells testimony, yesterday, regarding
Capt, Pixies inexperience in Arctic ice, Gen.
Hazen said that it might be inferred that
these sealing captains were in the habit Of
going into such ice. As matter of fact 1t
was only upon the most extraordinary occas-
ions that vessels ventured there. Capt.
Pike having been with Lieut. Greedy he had
the advantage over a great majority who had
never been there at all.
1t is believed that Gen. Hazen's purpose
in asking that Capt. Pike be called as wit
ness is to refute certain allegations of Com
mander Wildes, which is expected to be
proved by Capt. Pike. This may be inferred
from the following extracts from letter
written by him to the St. Johns. N. F.. Mer-
curry, in reply to the criticisms upon the
conduct of the officers and crew of the Pro-
teus by private Moritz of Lieut.. Garlington's
party.
'Moritz's statements are false in every re-
spect. My men were guilty of NO miscon-
duct, but on the contrary behaved nobly.
There was no disobeying of orders and no
drunkenness. l. is utterly false that any of
them stole anything or made free with the
stores in any way. Lieut.. Garlington's chro-
nometer, cash box and other valuables were
saved by my men, together with box of
valuable furs and all Immediately handed to
him. l may mention that quantity of stores
and clothing of great value were drifting
away on the ice and Lieut.. Darlington re-
fused to use his whale boats to recover these
stores. My men volunteered them in my
own boats and did so at no small risk to
lives. As to the Encouragement of the ship,
l pronounce it q cslumnious falsehood.

CHINA'S CIRCULAR
Setting Forth in a DignIfied Manner,
the Tonquin Question.

The Chinese government has addressed q
circular letter relative to Anam, to all for
eign powers, The texts of It sets forth that
Anam has been 4 Dependent State to the Ia
Tseng dynasty for more than two hundred
years. After all China's protection, care and
expense, France invsdes the country without
a cause, and availing herself Of the Oppor-
tunity of the death Of her king, has enforced
the Hue treaty and refuses to recognize
Anam as vassal of China. If France de-
sires to maintain friendly relations with
China, why should we not discuss the subject
amicably. If she insists upon invading the
northern part of Anam where our troops are
stationary, this indicates that she is deter
mined to break the friendly tie, and our
troops cannot remain with folded arms, but
must meet hers in the field. We therefore
send this communication to all foreign
powers, showing that in the event of the
friendly tie being broken, the cause of the
rupture docs not come from China.

The wave of disturbances attending the
meetings of the Salvation Army in Europs
has crossed the ocean and finally reached
Kingston. Ontario. The free fghtat Kings
ton on Sunday was brought about by a
drunken officer of the Army. whose intoxi-
cation was disgraceful enough without the
additional disgrace brought upon the Sal
walton Army and the cause in which it isen-
listed by the subsequent disturbance. 1t
IL to be feared that the Salvation Army is
doing more harm than good. Many OF
the members have not even learned to
control themselves, and their conduct
shows their unfitness for the work in which
they are engaged.

The English delegates to the recent In
ternational Trades Unions Conference at
Paris maintained resolute attitude in OPP
position to the anarchical proposals OF
their associates on the Continent. They
evinced hostility TO every phase of collec-
tivism and State socialism. and contended
that workingmcn must protect themselves
and not be dependent upon Government
Legislation or political support. BY their
moderation, courage and peristeucy they
commanded the respect of the Continental
delegates. and convinced them that there
were and could be no Socialists in COM
nonsense England, At the same time
their attitude in reference to the importa-
ton OF cheap labor was characteristic OF
their own country. The English trades.
unions systematically act upon the princi-
pie of combination, but are ordinarily de-
feated owing to the ability of the employ
ers TO obtain fresh supplies of labor from
the Continent. They order a strike. but
are forced to suspend operations il
Italians, Germans or Spaniards can be
imported in sufficient numbers to en-
able manufacturers to maintain the
old rates OF wages or to operate under the
former condition. The English delegates
at Paris complained of the unbro,herly
conduct OF European operatives in con
senting to leave their own homes and to
wages which the trade-unions on the is
land prescribed. They charged that this
interference from abroad often made the
success of an English strike impossible.
and entreated the foreign trades-unions to
keep their worker at home and not ruin
the cause of their brethren on the island
Compromising advantages they had none
10 offer, but cody demanded that foreign
worknen in the general interest oftrades
unionism should refuse offers of employ
ment n England and thereby throw away
the chsnce of improving the prospects OF
labor dbe continent; for every impor-
tation Of KILLED labor to England or to
America ought not naturally to enhance
the value of the skilled labor that is left
behind. English trades-unions are as in
snlar and selfish in their views as English
manufacturers.

Servian and Bulgarian politics becomes
clearer if it is remembered that they are
the battle ground over which Austria and
Russia are fighting. The Austrian party
gained the ascendency in Servia last
Spring, and the recent ''insurrection'was
the product of Russian intrigue. Bulgaria.
on the other hand. has always been com
pletely under Russian control. its army
