pectcd to see u majestic pife of buildings,
rs impressive in its way rs the Alumni
hall at Yale or the Berlin university.
All account of China that | had seen re-
ferrel to the civil service examinations OF
the empire as the foundation of the conn-
try's stability and of her peoples hnppi-
ncss. had read that the highest offices
under the government were within reach
of the humblest peasant, provided he
passed successfully the various examinn-
tions conducted by distinguished aud dis
interested scholars. II what writers on
China have said be true, we can afford to
copy her in this respect, for h cnn be
more inspiring to our schoolboys than the
thought OF being able to reach honor md
fame by making high marks in the recita-
ton room On entering what %purportcd
to be the place where the examinations
were held, | found myself Inside Of II vast
wall surrounding IA few acres of what in
Chicago would be taken for cattle sheds.
Each one OF THESE Cuttlt pen lOohllk SUMS
Of which there are 10, 900 in the inclosure,
Is meant to receive u candidate for exami-
nation.
This candidate sits crouched on Il board
fioor raised II few inches from the ground.
1t Is hard to tell whether the elevation is
made to secure him from d%ampness or to
facilitate an inspection OF the premises by
those whose business IL is to see that no
''skinning papers are used. The cnndi-
dates body is pinioned to the back of The
cell by n sort of sewing board which slides
In like n shelf against his stomach. This
is used rs "A table. These cells are arranged
In long tiers with n guardian Mt each end to
see that no communication takes plnce
between the aspirah and the outside
world. At the ends of these alleys stand
large Jars Of water and caldrons in which
the God * cooked which the guardians
supply to them. No one is allowed to
leave his cell until his examination papers
are completed. These examinations last
as long rs the candidate can endure the
discomfort OF his position-often for sew
eral days. In the midst of these dreary
little prison alleys is a handsomely carved
pavilion, where sit the chief examiners
and high officials, and where the deterIni-
nations are reached that make or unmake
the Chinese Office seeker.

The FIsHEaY SEIZURE.
Old Established Presidents being
HrAnghl Nm.

BosroN, May 20.--A former fishery
seizure case similar in every important
respect to that of the David J. Adams,
and ia many respects to that of the
Ellen M. Doughty, was that of the
Gloucester schooner White Fawn, seized
In 1870 on the New Brunwick coast for
buying bait at the head Of the harbor.
The case was argued in the Vice Admir-.
atty Court of New Brunswick in
March OF the following year before
Judge Hazen, who interpreted the con
vention of 1918 in q wholly different
spirit from the construction placed upon
it by the British crown officers there
now. He decided that the seizure was
illegal and ordered the release oil the
vessel, with everything that was on
board when the seizure was made.
Judge HAGEN cites the fact that while
the Fawn was not alleged to have fished
within the three mile limit, and for all
that appeared il ought to have been the
masters intention to fish outside
OF the limit only, it was not
for the court to impute an
intention to break the law. The Captain
had right TO pass with his vessel
through three marine miles to the fish.
ing grounds outside.
A Halifax special says Consul General
Phelan in his report in regard to the
Ella NJ. Doughty will show that the
presence Of the vessel in st. Anus bay
was due TO ice which prevented her
from putting TO sea and compelled her to
seek proper and immediate shelter.

.DRIFTED TO SEA.
The miraculous Escape OF a
YOnng Lady.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., May 20.--St.
Georges Bay, on the west coast Of New
foundland, telegraphs the following ex-
traordinary story; A French vessel ar
rived here yesterday from St. Malo bound
to Port.au- Choix. She came for the
purpose of landing Miss Louise Jour
neaux, who was picked up from an open
boat at sea, about twenty miles off the
Island of Jersey. The lady, with gem
tleman named Farne, went boating on
Sunday evening, April Sth. Her com
panion let one OF the oars slip, and in at
tempting to recover it lost the other,
and jumped overheard to recover them.
The wind was fresh and there was a
strong current setting from the land,
and the boat fast drifted beyond Farne's
reach, and he was compelled 10 swimfor
the land. Miss Journeaux, alone in
the boat drifted TO sea and for forty
hours she lived in solitary agony, until
rescued by the French vessel. The vio-
lent off-shore winds prevented the
Frenchman from reaching Jersey, and
fine lady was carried across the Atlantic
to Newfoundland. Farne reached st.
Hilaires barber safely, but his story was
disbclieved. People from the shore
affirmed that they heard cries Of murder
from sea. Farne was arrested and in
dicted for homicide. His liberation is
OF course certain, Miss Journeaux hav-
ing cabled her miraculous escape.

Special TO The Herald bg the Associated Press
BosroN, May 2O.-There has been
some excitement along the water front
cover the report that fishing schooners
had been arming in this harbor. The
story is as follows: The schooner Au-
gusta Herrick, Capt. VIM. K. Herrick,
left New York four days ago on fish
ing trip to the Bay OF Fundy. Hearing
Of the seizure of Portland schooner by
the Canadians, the owners Of the vessel
decided that something must be done to
protect their property. The Her
rick accordingly put into Boston
harbor and her captain went
ashore. He went to gunstore and
purchased two 36-inch yacht guns.
which were delivered on board together
with large amount Of ammunition and
small arms. The schooner then headed
down the bay on her voyage to the fish
ing waters along the Canadian shore.
These yacht guns will penetrate steel
armor half inch thick at distance of
a mile. The Captain, when asked by
the dealer what he proposed to do with
the guns, replied; II am going a-fishing
in the Bay Of Funiy and don't propose
to have any cheap Canadian pirates seiz-
ing my schooner"

Calico Whining News.
From the Print, 10th. |

Since our report IN the last issue the

Robt. MeCuestion's teams are making
two trips daily hauling lumber and ma
chinery for the RuDover mill.
The Daggett mill is pounding away on
Blackfoot rock this week. Some work
is also doing at the Sampling Works.
The Orc Grande mill keeps constantly
at work on Waterloo ore, with good re-
suits.
Penn Murray, who has been engineer
ing at the Odessa mill at Hawley's, left
on Thursday for Meadow Lake, where
he and his brothers Ed. and Walter
have some rich gold mines, which he
proposes to work by a new process
If he succeeds in reducing the rich re-
fractery ores to be found in that region
he has the "true racket" for big fort
une. Success attend him is the wish of
his many friends in this vicinity.
ue ntWh ITOtu hhttier uiStfict, tniFty
miles south OF Cadiz station ON the A. &
P. railroad, is encouraging, SO Mr..
Head, the secretary of the company,
informs me. The mill is working well,
but lacks capacity, and five stamps will
be added Immediately. In the waiting
for the enlargement of the mill the force
Of men from the mine are engaged sink
ing on the well for the large supply of
water which will be needed.
G. J. Perkins shows some lead buttons
taken from some newly discovered mines
about six miles east from keenes sta
ton in the Tehachepi range. The lodges
are said to be very large and well de-
fined. carrying over so per cent. lead and
about $40 silver per ton, with plenty of
wood and water in the near vicinity.
Mr.. Perkins left last Monday to take a
look over the property.
Rumor has it that j. B. Osborne has
gone to San Francisco to conclude a
sale of his Ord and other property.
Should they be realized Dsggett would
be the main reduction and shipping
point, adding greatly to our already
large shipments of bullion from Calico
and surrounding camps, for there are
thousands Of tons OF medium copper,
silver and gold ores already extracted
and in sight in some dozen or more huge
lodges upon which great amount of
sinking and tunneling has been done.
Old Ord is almost a mountain of ore,
and when she does commence she will
make things lively.

One of the Little Pastimes Of
Mexico.


FL 7Aso. Texas, May 20.-The recent
rebe 'on at Cusihuisischic in the State
Of Ci buahua, which is now virtually
over. was precipitated by one Of Teodo-
70 Casaventes' followers. Pancbo OIL.
gum, wealthy merchant Of the town,
who had been elected Jefe Politico and
who was political opponent Of Casa
ventes, was billed. After the killing,
the Casaventes faction, about sixty
strong, commenced TO sack the town,
stealing seven thousand dollars
from the Federal treasury and
about seventeen thousand dollars in
money and goods from various stores.
The local authorities opposed the rebels
TO the best Of their ability, and the
American inhabitants Of the city banded
together for the protection OF their
property. This state of seige continued
until federal troops arrived, before
whom the rebels fed, most of them
taking to the mountains. A number OF
the conspirators were caught, and four
are now under sentence TO be shot.
The party who fred the first shot,
which killed 0lguin. is still at large, but
1t 10 expected that he will be caught 10
day or two, in which case his doom Is
aaaiad
