The Dog Farms Of China.
[London Times.l


Mr.. Edgar, the Commissioner Of Customs
at Newchwang. in Manchuria, In the last
Chinese Customs Yellow Book, referring to
the trade from that port In robes and mats
made Of the skins Of dogs and goats, says 1t
Is generally supposed that dogs are picked up
promiscuously wherever they may be
found straying. destroyed, and their
skins sold to dealers. This, however,
Is not the case, for, although the
business may have had its origin In this way,
1t Is now as systematically carried on as
sheep farming. There are thousands Of
small dog and goat farms dotted over Man
churia and the eastern borders OF Mongolia,
where from a score to some hundreds OF
dogs are annually reared on each farm, and
where they constitute a regular source Of
wealth. A bride, for instance, will receive
as dOwry a number Of dogs prOpOrtonate
to the means Of her father. II Is probable,
says Mr.. Edgar, that In no other part OF the
world are there to be found such splendid
dogskins. for size, length of hair, and quail
ty. the extreme cold OF these attitudes where
the thermometer registers 80 degrees Fahren-
heit below zero, developing a magnificent
coat. lt Is difficult to understand how dog
farmer can afford with profit TO rear the AMI
mails when the price Of the robe Is taken
into consideration. For one full-sized robe,
say so inches by Sc inches, at least eight an
imals are required. Putting the price real
izsd at las Sd for a robe this would only
allow about is 10d per skin, including the
selection, for the skins must match In color
and length Of hair and cost Of sewing. The
animals are generally stranged In mid
winter, but not before they are months old
and the skins taken in frozen condition
principally in Moukden and ChinchOw, where
they are cured, assorted and made into robes,
mats, etc. Last year the robes are said to
have been decidedly inferior in quality. The
reason given Is that orders went forward too
late. and the farmers, waiting till they had
news Of some demeud, kept the animals alive
| until their winter coats began to fall OIL. The
value Of the trade from Newchwang asst year
| was about fiO,OOO, against nearly $4,000 the
| previous year. The decline was due To de-
| precation in value and a decreased demand
| from the United States.

A Question of Society Diplomacy
Which is Bothering SackvlIIe.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-It is understood
that Lord Sackville is very much torn up in
his mind as to whether or not hewill attend
the Endicott- Chamberlain wedding. Per-
sonally, he desired to go, as it was at the
Legation ball given in January last that
Mr.. Chamberlain was introduced to his
bride-elect. Officially, Lord Sackville feels
that his position in this country is at present
an anomalous one and even for the purpose
of rendering his congratulations upon the
auspicious event as one of Her Majesty's
subjects he cannot yet determine which
would be the more dignifed course, to 60 or
stay at home.
The marriage of Miss Endicott to Hon.
Joseph chamberlain will take place at ST.
Johns Church early in the present week
The date of the important event will be set
tied upon the arrival of Mr.. Chamberlain.
AS soon as decision has been arrived at an
announcement Of some sort will be made by
note to tie President and Mrs. Cleveland,
the cabinet and few intimate friends, who
will attend the reception which follows the
ceremony at the church. Beyond this no in
vitations will be issded. The marriage will
TAX Q place at noon according to the rites of
the Church of England. A handsome travel

FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT.
keeiy OF Motor Fame Gets Himself
Into Trouble.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.-The Court Of
Common Pleas this morning made the rule
to issue an attachment against John w.
Keely nfor contempt of court in not obeying
the order of the court absolute. 1t also dis
charged the rule to dissolve the injunction,
as well as the rule to open the sealed pack
aye which is in the hands of the court, and
which is said to contain description of
the Kelley motor. 1t also continued the
Injunction until further notice.
The suit in which inventor Keely Is thus
brought to grief is the one instituted in
equity by Bennett G. Wilson. in which ex-
perts were appointed by the court to exam
inc the construction of Keely's mechanical
apparatus, with the view Of determining
whether 1t corresponded or was identical
with certain motor device which Keely
assigned to Wilson in 1862 In order that
the court might be fully enlightened as to the
merits OF Mr.. Wilson's claim, committee of
experts was appointed to inspect 1.-THE Keely
motor, and a week ago today an argument
took place before Judges Finletter and Reed
upon application of Mr.. Wilson's counsel for
an attachment upon Keely for contempt of
the order of April last, in refusing to
disulge information which the experts claim
ed they needed in order to make up their
minds as to whether the claim was justified.

A Movement Among the Knights to
Defeat the Master Workman.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. 10.-The national
assembly of Knights of Labor will meet in
Indianapolis on Tuesday next, and the mem
bers of that organization in the neighbor-
hood are looking forward to the event with
feeling of much interest. The national
convention this year will be of unusual i'm

there is candidate in the field for general
master workman against t. V. Powderly.
Well informed members of the knights In

master workmen of Lochiel assembly, and
who will be a delegate to the convention,
feel confident that Mr.. Powderly will not be
his own successor as the head Of the organiz-
alton, and the prospect of electing another
gives them great satisfaction. The Knights
charge Mr.. Powderly with meddling too
much in politics and giving too little time to
the interests of the workingmen in what he
pleases to call petty strikes" MIR. Powder.
ly's opponent will be William II. Lewis of

Quarryman McKeevers's FooIhardy
Performance with Dynamite.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Hugh McKeevers, a
quarryman at Verplaucks, last night cele-
brated Harrison's election by exploding
dynamite carriages at a safe distance from
his house. When it began to rain hard Me-
Keevers entered the house, having cart
ridge in his possession. He touched the
fuse to the fire in his pipe and attempted to
throw the cartridge out the door, but it
struck against the woodwork and fell into
the room. McKeevers ran into an adjoining
room where two children, Hugh, aged 10,
and Lizzie, aged IL, were sleeping He threw
himself on the bed and covered his head with
the bedclothing When the cartridge ex-
ploded it tore out the front of the house, de-
molished the door and windows and badly
wrecked the furniture. The bed on which
McKeevers and the children lay was blown
through the side of the house, but none
were seriously hurt. The house was COM
pletely wrecked.

General Harrison shook hands with from

Probably the Oldest voter In the United
State at the last election was George Hub

and Democrat.
Seventy-seven years ago, on the 7th Of No
yember General William Henry Harrison
defeated the Indians at the battle of Tippe-
canoe, anG secured the freedom of the Terri
tory of Indiana for white settlers. 1t is a
striking coincidence that on the same day
his grandson learned that he had achieved a
great victory over the Democrats.
No feature of our governmental system,

Monday eleven to twelve millions Of voters
were wondering whether Cleveland or
Harrison would be elected; on Tuesday they
cast their ballots; ON Wednesday they knew
who is to be the next President.
1t is reported from New York city that no
harm was found to result from the fact that
some election districts were so laid out that
more than twice the legal limit of number of
voters was passed in the registration. So
rapid was the voting that in some instances
rate as high as 134 an hour was attained,
and in the district where 1,017 citizens were
registered 975 voted. No one in the city was
