correspondence of THE HERALD. We had
heard of him in a misty sort of a way. In
eastern clubs, in after dinner talks or in
semi-confidences told over Japanese mats
in leafy tea houses. Little by little, then
here, then there, he had become sort of
reality to US in the ward room, and in vari-
GUS naval minds on the China station dim
mental pictures of an old American chained
TO the Russian walls of gloomy prison ex-
cited true indignation and desultory SYM
patty. 1t was not for many months after
this that the reality indeed STUN bled on the
stage of, at least, my own experience. We
had been rowing up and down the China
coast for year CT two, hating Tientsin
and yearning for Shanghai, firing Of
Shanghai and yearning for Hong Kong, till
the heat of Tonquin summer drove US
north with its spiceladen breaths over the
muddy Yellow sea back to Japan. Here
ships galore, ships with stately masts and
spider yards, square trimmed against a
cloudless sky; ships with stumpy spars
and crowds of shouting men tumbling bales
and boxes into great lighters groaning
alongside; plenty, too. of long, low, rakish
steamers with lead-coiored sides and short
stacks vomiting black smoke against back
ground of jrawfsh hills and trees and low
rooted houses.

tack, provided that-which is very I'M
llkely-the Chilian Government should re-
fuse to honor American demands.
Patrick Egan, United States Minister TO
Chile, is the man who has presented these
demands His appointment TO office was
made in March, 1889. He has had an un-
comfortable time on account of the civil
war in Chile, and has been the object of u
good deal af abuse by the newspapers.
IL is probable that our difficulty with
Chile vii have been fully cleared up be-
fore that Minister Egan will have the
opportunity TO show whether or not he
was friendly TO an impolitic degree with
the Balmaceda administration, and there
fore an object of dislike to the men who
by successful war overturned it.
Mr.. Egan is an Irishman by birth, a
native of the County Longford, where he
first saw the light in lS4l His father was
farmer at Ballymahon before the troubl-
ous times between 1916 and 1Si9 com

move to Dublin for the chance of making
a living. In that city young Patrick re-
ceived his education from the Christian
Brothers He took great interest in
politics from child. and was one of the
first Home Rulers and an early member
of the council at the head of the organiZa-
ton. Foremost among the founders of
the Land League he was appointed its
Treasurer, an Office which he resigned in
1882. Owing to political difficulties at
home he lived in France during the last
two years of his Treasurership.

A BOOK or TRAVELS.

SEAS AND LANDS; BY SIR EDWIN
ARNOLD, NJ A., *. c. l. f., &. :. /.
New York: Longmans, Green * Co.
We are reminded of the fact that Sir
Edwin Arnold was first of all news
paper man aud only incidentally poet
by this reproduction, timed to coincide
with his American visit Of a republica-
tion OF large number of his letters to
the London Telegram of which he was
SO long the editor. 1t is well written
volume, descriptive of "a hasty trip
across America and longer stay
in the far western islands that
so entranced the poets soul.
Sir Edwin discourses upon the
sights President Harrison, Niagara,
the elevated railroad-speaks favorably
OF our checking system for luggage,
which every Englishman commends
but none copies, and then settles down
with an air of more solid enjoyment in
Japan. America he admires, but the
pace is too fast. After the rush of our
high-strung civilization Japan's quaint
ways and strange incenses are like balm.
Sir Edwin finds the capitol imposing,
the White House modest and the air
of Boston and Harvard quite to his lill-
ing. The book is finely illustrated by
process cuts and is printed with quite as
much luxury of type, paper and margins
as the matter demands.
