OUTBREAKS IN CHINA.
A Demand for the Protection of Citi-
zens of the United States.

zens of the United States.
The late outbreak against foreigners invariods
parts OF the Chinese empire has been a cause OF
deep pain in view OF the numerous establish
ments of our citizens in the interior OF that
country. This government can do no less than
insist upon a continuance of the protective and
punitory measures which the Chinese govern
ment has heretofore applied. No effort will be
omitted to protect our citizens peaceably So
journing in China, but recent unofficial informa-
tion indicates that what was at first regarded
as an outbreak of mob violence against for-
eigners has assumed the larger form of all insur-
rection against public order
The Chinese government has declined TO re-
ceive Mr. Blair as the minister.o the United
States on the ground that, as u participant,
while a senator. in the enactment of the existing
legislation against the introduction OF Chinese
laborers, he has become unfriendly and objec-
tionable to China. l have felt constrained to
point out to the Chinese government the unten-
ableness of this position, which seems to rest as
much on the unacceptability of our legislation
as on that of the person chosen, and which, if
admitted, would practically debar the selection
OF any representative so long as the existing
laws remain in force.
You will be called upon to consider the ex
pediency OF making special provision by law for
the temporary admission of some Chinese
artisans and laborers in connection with the eX-
hibit of Chinese Industries at the approaching
Columbian exposition. l regard it as desirable
that the Chinese exhibit be facilitated III every
proper way.

EXPORT OF MEAT.
Several Countries Have Removed the
EMBARGO Upon Pork Products

Several Countries Have Removed the
Embargo Upon Pork Products.
The law Of the last congress providing sys-
tenn of inspection of our meats intended for ex-
port and clothing the president with power to
exclude foreign products from our market in
case the country sending them should perpetu-
ate unjust determinations against any product
Of the United States, placed this government in
position to effectively urge the removal OF
such determinations against our meats.
1t is gratifying to be able to state that Ger
many. Denmark, Italy, Austria and France, in
the order named, have opened their ports to in
spected American pork products. The removal
of these restrictions in every instance was asked
for and given solely upon the ground that We.
had now provided a meat inspection that
should be accepted as adequate to the complete
removal of the dangers, real or fancied, which
had been previously urged. The state depart
ment. our ministers abroad, and the secretary
of agriculture have co-operated with unfaggng
and intelligent zeal for the accomplishment of
this great result. -~~
The outlines of an agreement have been
reached with Germany, looking to equitable
trade concessions i'll consideration of the COLI
tinued free Importation of her sugars, but the
time has not yet arrived when this correspond
ence can be submitted to congress. .ss...

night Edith Jeal, a fve-year-old girl, was

A distilling company sent mes
sage to boiler-makers in a neigh boring
city notifying them that boiler was
out of repair and asking them to
''send man at once" BY reason of
the failure of the telegraph company
to transmit or deliver the message,
the distilling company was compelled
to suspend operations for twenty-four
hours longer than it would have done
had the message been transmitted and
delivered in the regular course of bus
mess. The Superior Court of Ken
lucky held in an action against the
telegraph company that the sender of
the message was entitled to recover
for the additional expense incurred in
feeding cattle, and the additional
amount paid to lands, by re son of
the delay caused by defendants fail
ure to transmit the message. The
Court said that as it was the business
of the firm TO which the message was
sent to send men to repair boilers, it
must be presumed that they would
have followed their usual course of
business, and it was not reasonable
to presume that had the man been
sent lie could hot have done the work.

Danger In Paper Money.

Passing from hand to hand among all
classes of the people, it would be strange
indeed if money, and especially paper
money, did not in its transit become
from time to time the vehicle of in
fictitious disease. Even the crisp ''fver"
Of the Bank of England no doubt has
often borne the germs of fever in its
folds, and how much more then the
greasy, discolored and well thumbed 81
note, or the paper fraction of some
foreign currencies. Higher values have
here a distinct advantage. Less COM
mon, less in keeping of the overcrowded
poor, less handled and soiled, therefore
they may perhaps in many cases run
their circuit without having done much
mischief
There are, indeed, preservative cir
cumstances which guard the sanitary
credit of all paper currency. One is the
very freedom of circulation and the ven
tlation this insures. Smoothness of sur
face is another, and third, which oper-
ates in Il minor degree, is found in the
fact that not children are chiefly con-
cerned in the business Of exchange.
These qualifications my suffice to justify,
at least by a negative verdict, the en-
ployment of paper money from sani-
tary standpoint.
Still certain risk remains, and care
full persons will do well to note this and
on occasion to disinfect even their bank
notes. The danger, such as it is. should
also, in cur opinion, be allowed some
weight in deciding the question whether
a small note currency, hitherto not found
to be Indispensable, should or should not
be generally adopted.-London Lancet.

PropaGating Lobsters Artif;ciaIIy.

The first experiments in artificial
propagation of Holsters were made SIM
ply in glass jars with sea water that was
changed daily. Even under these print
tive conditions the newly Matched fry
thrived and grew to be of some size and
healthy. Any one who desires to rear
Holsters by hand can accomplish the pur-
pose most quickly by keeping the spawn
bearing females in suitable ponds or
tanks until the young come out. In
raising the animals on large scale,
however, it would be best to separate
the eggs from the lobster and spread
them upon trays, allowing the water to
percolate among them, as is done with
salmon eggs. By this method much
trouble would be avoided, as well as the
expense of feeding the adult hen lob
sters.
There is no reason apparent wherefore
the same success should not be obtained
with Holsters as has been achieved with
salmon, which have been made to swarm
once more by myriads in streams depop-
ulated by imprudent fishing. Already
tho Holsters ON the North Atlantic coast
are rapidly vanishing, and unless meas
ures are soon taken for supplying their
place by artificial propagation there will
be none left. Apparently, however, it
will be entirely practicable to turn out
upon the depleted grounds many mill
ions of young Holsters yearly as soon as
proper plants for this object have been
established.
One thing in favor of lobster raising,
as to cheapness, is that they prefer food
that is partially decomposed, and the
waste food of the towns, now thrown
away, might be most usefully employed
by the lobster hatcheries. Stale fish is
esteemed by Holsters an especial delicacy.

Wanamaker's Small Loan.

When the keystone Bank of Philadel-
phia failed 1t was charged that Mr.. Wan
amaker had been involved with it, and
that he was responsible for the delay in
the appointment of a receiver. This was
vigorously denied in his behalf. but since
the appointment of the receiver one of
the directors of the bank makes this very
plain statement:
Mr.. Wanamaker holds no stock in the Key
stone, and i OF a rector. He has been
merely depositor. l know it has been said
that he had IL do with the breaking Of the
bank. That statement is not true. He does
not owe the concern any money at this time.
Last summer Mr.. Marsh, the president, took
Mr.. Wanamaker'S personal note and lent
him 5000 600 of the banks money without
the knowledge Of the directors. L did not
know of the lean, but am informed that il
was made. Since then Mr.. Wanamaker has
taken up all the notes and the bank is not
loser to the extent Of penny through him.
1t would have made an enormous seam
dial TO find in the empty Golfers of Il loot
ed bank the personal notes of the Post
master General for 5000, 600 of the banks
money transferred to him without the
knowledge of the directors. Naturally
enough the PostmaSter-Gener notes
would be redeemed before the final dis
closure of the bank rottenneSS. and not
unnaturally the Philadelphia Inquirer in
considering the circumstances asks this
question::
Was there any official of the Government,
higher in authority than Bank T. am'ner
Drew, who shielded the rottenness from the
public and used his influence to prevent the
receivership?
In its connection the question is a
charge that Mr.. Wanamaker is open to
the suspicion of collision with the bank
wreckers, at least to the extent of using
his influence to give them time to COM
plete their work. And his 5000. 900 trans
action without the knowledge Of the di-
rpctOrs makes it pertinent that he should
give the charge his ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

By proclamation of President Har

them have stood in line, week after
week, near the land offices, anxi US TO
secure homesteads, to begin the work

take hold of the other work of life.
They have had rough experiences

Ex-Congressman Butterworth does
not take a rosy view of the prospects
for electing Mr.. Mckinley Governor of
Ohio. "From what I hear" he il
credited with saying, 81 suppose Nc
Kinley will be given the nomination
by our people-the Republicans-for
Governor. The issue will be the old
tariff question. Whether it is wise to
make S ate campaign on such a ma
tional issue 1 will not say. 1t seems
that it will be done, however. You
must remember that nominating con-
ventions do not make issues-issues
create themselves. But this I will
say-no high tariff issue will ever sue
coed in this country, as the lesson of
last fall taught us. I would never be
in favor of it, and yet / have always
been a strong advocate of the protec-
tive idea. The high tariff idea can
never carry, and it would be as calam-
itous as pestilence if it did" This is
the opinion of a man who, though he
opposed some of the provisions of the
Mckinley bill, voted for it on final
passage. 1t would be depressing kind
of talk to have making itself heard in
Ohio during a Mckinley anti-cheap-
ness campaign, but there are evidences
that if Mr.. Mckinley is nominated,
Mr., Butterworth will not be the only
Ohio Republican who will indulge in
such talk.
