The Revenge of a Buuied chinaman.

A couple of meek eyed Cinnamon got on
street car-N jersey City the other day,
and one of them, who had a big jade brace
let on his yellow wrist, paid the fare for
both. The ear became crowded, the day
was hot and the conductor evidently lost
his temper and his reckoning both, for he
counted his passengers again and again,
with scowl on his face that deepened ev-
cry time that he looked at his register
There We're more people in the car than
there were fares rung up, that was certain.
But who had not paids That was the diff
fculty. His eye wandered up and down
the seats, but he saw no sign which led him
to suspect any one in particular. Finally
the meekness of the Cinnamon seemed to
Attract and tempt him.
Fare, john" he said peremptorily,
striding up in front Of them and thrusting
out his hand.
Il pay fare when getts on" chartered
John in a scared way.
mo, you didn't" replied the conductor,
with snarl. you can't come no heather
Chinee tricks over me. Pay your fares, or
out you go, and mighty quick tool"
The Cinnamon looked about for assist
ance, but seeing no hope of any from the
occupants of the car, and reading only dis
aster following resistance to the burly and
angry looking conductor, paid their fares
over again grudgingly, drew their heads
down into their i'll fitting sacks and their
long nailed fingers up into their ample
sleeves, subsiding and shrinking without
a word, like turtles into their shells.
The car had not gone very far before an
obstruction ahead stopped further progress
and the conductor ran forward to see what
was the matter. This was the Chinamen's
opportunity. Hopping up, one of them
seized the register strap and quickly rang
up half a dozen fares.
When dat dog conductor makee him
those square with de company he won't be
muchee ahead of Chin Chom," he chirped
out. Then they both shuffied off the car
and disappeared around the corner into
laundry.-New York Tribune.

LONDON. June BIN surveying the field
Of European politics the other day Lord
Salisbury derived encouragement from The
tremendous risk involved III a modern war,
but st The same time he pointed TO the
MOhaumInedan states still existing IN
Europe and within tn: European system as
one great source Of danger. The reason Is
that they threaten to disappear and there
will be a race for their heritage, not be-
tween governments merely, but between
the peOplE.
The British premier spoke with more
seriousness regarding the futare fate of
Morocco. and Judging from the news re
ceived this evening CT the serious illness OF
the ruler Of Morocco, his forecast Is strictly
accurate. Spain Cherishes and has long
cherished most definite ambitions as re-
CARDS Morocco. The northern coast of
Africa will be ours some day, wrote the
Madrid Imperial some years ago, and in so
writing / expressed the hope and convic-
zion of every Spaniard On the other hand
France has an immense lanu frontier with
Morocco, and ii would be hardly endur-
able for her to have an Euro
peaE neighbor in that country Just

viii certainly forcstau Spain Ill Morocco.
j is lneg table aud if any European power
has any right to Morocco. France, which
has done so much to civilize Africa, has
ccrtziuly the best right. But then there
Is England, which does not want a Euro
pran power over against Gibraltar, and
which does not desire To lose Mo
rocco's trade. such IS it is. FL
nally there is Germany. which has
shown a good deal of interest in that coun-
tlI Of late years, and Will. perhaps, be
found backing the claims of Spain against
those Of France Here are all the essen
1ials of pretty quarrel and one which it
may be difficult long TO avoid, for Morocco
: certainly Fastening to its dissolution and
there is legitimate heir to take the place
OF the present government. wretched as it
is, when that government disappears.

THE MEMPHIS TRIAL.
The Entire Day Devoted to a Rigid Cross
Examination

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 13-The entire
time of the criminal court to-day was de-
voted to cross-examining the central figure
in the Poston killing. In answer TO
u question witness said he had made
his will in favor of Mrs. Pillow
for the same reason that Mrs. Pillow
had promised to be the same kind of friend
to him as ''Agnes" was to David Copper
field There was no improper relation
between Mrs. Pillow and himself. He had
not cut off his family, but had made his will
in favor of Mrs Pillow af-
ter making provision for his
family. In 1883 Mrs. Pillow
left him forever and went TO
Mariana. Ark and put on record a deed
to the property to be willed her. Mrs. Pill
low and witness had agreed TO part for life,
but she came back, and later finding that
she was trying to get his prop
erty and then leave him he
attempted TO recover his property, where
upon Mrs. Pillow went at once and took
violent possession of the property. Witness
was released until Monday.

In the Balkans.

A dispatch from Belgrade states that the
Servian cabinet already have reason to re-
greet their hasty action in yielding to
the appeals of ey-king Milan, who
wrote number of letters from Paris,
where he lives on the round sum that
Servia paid him to be rid of him. urging on
them the necessity of eXpeiling Queen Nat
ale. The fact that the queens eX-
pulsion was due to Milan's letters having
become thoroughly disseminated throughout
Servla has created such u strong pop
ular feeling in her favor that serious con-
sequences are feared. II is admitted on all
sides that the position of Queen
Natalie needs adjustment on its
merits. Her case is legally strong.
Her temper may be bad and she
may be careless of her best interests, but
the beginning of this mischief was though
no fault of hers. The prime cause was her
husbands infidelity that led to the differ
ences between the pair. To free himself ex-
and obtained ii from complaisant
bishop which was subsequently quashed.
but the metropolitan who quashed it was
weak and consented to call his own
decision informal This was bad enough
but Milan showed himself worse when he
wrote the letter to the Belgrade govern
ment, demanding the expulsion of his
wife. What with the poor figure
cut by eX King Milan, the ignoble
haste of the Servian cabinet TO meet his
wishes by separating the queen mother
from her son, and the SAVIOR of melOdrama
about most of the dOings OF Natalie, the
play is not lofty one, and diplomats and
every one concerned, desire that it should
stop now, as every petty agitatiOns in the
little Balkan states means apprehension
ana diSquiet for the rest of Europe.

Elisee RecIus' Prize.

It is now more than ever probable that
the Academy's biennial prize OF 10000
francs, which the Due de Broglie declined
will be awarded to Nor, as he prefers
to be called. Citizen-Elisee Reclus. The
special committee has decided already in
his favor. The only objection to the
choice of this hard working savant, who
is just on the point of bringing out the
seventeenth volume of his immense
work, La Geographic Universal" is to
be found, of course, in his political
opinions, which are frankly communistio
and anarchicaL
He is. moreover, not only theoretical
but practical advocate of freedom in
everything" for some years ago he gave
his two daughters in marriage to their
suitors with no other ceremony than that
of linking the hands of the couples and
giving them his paternal blessing. NJ
Reclus. however. has abstained from al
active share in politics for the past
twenty years, so that it is not thought
likely that the Academy will be infu
enced by his previous history, and its
members probably will vote the $500 tc

by his intimates as "a lay monk. ."-Parii

Dynamite for Foundation work.

A correspondent of Indian Engineer
ing says he recently witnessed very in
teresting mode of obtaining foundation
for new building. A hole was bored
in the ground (Which was previously
damp from ten to twelve feet deep and
an inch and half wide, and string OF
cartridges was lowered into it. The
subsequent explosion not only produced
a cavity a yard in diameter, but also
drove the water out of the surrounding
earth by means of the expansive action
of the gases. The water did not return
to its former place for fully an hour, sc
that an opportunity was afforded to fill
up the cavity with quickly settling con
crete, and rapid rate of working wal
thus attained
