The second section provides that all Chi

WASHINGTON, February 29th.-The Chi
| nese bill reported from the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee to-day is about the
| only bill upon the subject that can be ex-
| pected TO pass Congress this session. The
bill is not satisfactory to the members of
the Pacific coast delegation, as it does not
provide for the abrogation of the treaty
| and the absolute exclusion of the Chinese,
but it is regarded as step in the right di-
rection, and one which will relieve the
Federal Courts of the trouble they have
experienced and are now enduring with
the habeas corpus cases.

this morning when the north-bound ex-

still and the conductor stepped to the door
TO see what was wrong. As he opened the
door bullet whistled by his head and he at
once retired inside the car, where he re-
mained during the trouble.
The robbers went to work in cool and
systematic way. They boarded the engine
and ordered the engineer and fireman TO
get down from the box. Taking the
fireman and engineer along, the robbers
ordered them 10 call on the messenger to
open the car. They did as ordered, but be
refused to show up.

This forced the messenger to omen the
door, and the engineer and fireman were
made to get into the CIR first, their bodies
thus protecting the robbers as they climbed
in.
THE SAFE SACKED.
The messenger opened the safe without
further trouble and the contents were

was taken. Some place the loss as much
higher. The Sheriff and posse are in pur-
suit of the robbers. The passengers and

MANI. Reid. "ChIld WIG"

Mayne Reid's style and line of sub
jects are pretty well known, especially
to the readers of tales of adventure
written half q generation or 50 ago.
Indians and bears were apt to be the
theme, and the scene was usually in
the west or southwest, though he
ranged the world over in his thrilling
stories of hair breadth escapes. He
was essentially a writer for boys, and
we may frankly admit that, on the
whole, he was a good writer, as his
popularity amply testified. Many a
man, wrapped in the busy cares of
middle-sge life, viii recollect the rainy
afternoons and the long evenings spent
with Reds Rangers, D or Hunters, P"
or 'FVoyagers." Not many stopped
then to think of his style, or, per
haps, even knew that there was such a
thing as literary style. The plot was the
thing. In his Child Wife Capt. Reid
so departed from his customary line of
characters as to make us feel that We
were reading another kind Of fiction.
The ear marks Of style, nevertheless,
are there in the effectiveness of the
story and its radical adventurism. In
this tale, however, it is the society ad-
venturers Of New York and London
and tho political adventures of Eng
land and the continent in the awk-
wardly insurrectonary times about
1880 that we see. he wrote with zest,
like a Red Republican" a revolution
ist, and wove in a number of histori-
cal incidents in a quito unhistorical
manner. Phases Of English and
American social life of near forty
years ago (and we must remember that
this book was first published in 1868
r shown up severely. What with
the fortune hunter on one side and the
title huntress on the other, and their
~follies, heartlessness and crimes, one
feels rather disguised for getting into
such insipid and inherently bad com
pany. But the Child Wife" herself
is an angel of innocent purity and
first love devotion. As we read
this story we are frequently led
to wonder just how far it is
of the tale, Capt. Maynard, is SO
Reid mot to speak Of the similarity in
in many respects at least, portraying
says, in her preface TO this edition,
that most of the events related were
actual incidents in tho life or within
the experience of the author. In the
story Capt. Maynard was born in Ire
land in 1918, and began his literary
career when about 80. He fought in
the Mexican war and was wounded
while storming Chapultepec, and in
1S49 he set out to fight for the Hun
garian revolutionists. All this is true
of Wayne Reid. Is it not also true that
Mrs. Reid, the widow of the author
since 1883, was the original of this

One of his most surprising feats was
performed on one of our party, a
Scotchman named McFarlane. Plac-
ing in McFarlane's hands three pice-
small copper coins equal to one farth-
ing in value-he requested the Scotch
man to hold them as tightly as posi-
BILE and not to permit them to escape
him. McFarlane had a great deal of
confidence in himself and very little
in jugglers, and would have wa
gered a round sum that he could hold
three pice for the balance of the day.
But in a few moments the pice began
to swell, and McFarlane declared he
could feel them squirming. At last
he dropped them, and behold the
coins had changed to young cobra-di-
capellos, each about six inches long,
and these disappeared from our sight
as mysteriously as they had appeared.

either for soldiers to march with the
same inspiration as when a roar of
guns accompanied their steps, and to
some extent they were blinded to the
havoc of death in their ranks. That
the powder can explode absolutely
without any noise is hardly possible.
The French guard the secret of the
new explosive and rifle very jealously,
but it must oon be known to other
nations. As war increases in terror it
decreases in its attractions. The chief
charm of battle is its excitement. That

A Yokohama letter in The Hartford
Courant says: 1.-THE Japanese bed is
simply a futon spread upon the mat
ting. They lie upon this and spread
another futon over themselves and
rest their heads upon wooden pillows
and are happy. A futon is q thickly
wadded cotton quilt, exactly like our
comfortable, and very nice arrange
ment such q bed is for the housekeeper.
The bed is easily made, and in the
morning the futon is folded and put
away in a closet, and the c~hamberwork
is done. They wear no night dresses,
but as every person, even in the poor
est and humblest station, takes a hot
bath once, and in the majority of cases
twice a day, there is nothing uncleanly
in the wearing of the same dress at
night which is worn in the day"
