A NEW CHINESE MINISTER
Will Take the Place of Tsui Kwo Yin, tn
ilrf.AnnI InHrI hnhlI-

VIII Take the Place of Tsui Kwo Yin, the
Present Incumbent.
WASmNGTON, Nov. 2.-Mr. TsUi Kwo
Yin who, for more than four years past
has been accredited as Chinese minister
to the United States, and whose name
has been much mixed up of late with
Count Mitkiewicz transactions, is pre-
pairing to return to China, and at the
legation it is said that he expects to
leave Washington i'll a few days.
1t is customary with the Chinese gov
eminent to change its representatives
abroad every four years, SO the present
minister's term would be regarded as ex-
pired, even if there was no special rea-
sons for making change.
Mail advices have been received,
however, stating that the name Of Cha
Yui, a dignitary who outranks Tsui
Kwo Yin, had boon laid before the en-
peror for the mission to the United
States, and that consequently the pres
ent minister will be recalled. 1t Ia I'M
derstood that he will not be transferred
to any other diplomatic post, but will
be ordered back to China.

SECRETS FOR SALE
How Melenite and SmokelesS
Powder Are Made.

Montreal, Knows,

Blackman Interviewed.
MONTREAL, Nov. Am item in 6
Washington paper few days ago stated
that Montreal man had discovered the
secret of how the Germans made what
is known as dark chocolate, or smokelesf
powder, and also how the French manu-
featured the white or gray melenitt
powder. 1t aso said that for year he
had been endesvoring to sell his secret
to the United States government
through the board of ordnance and for.
tifoations, but that he had failed, as he
refused to give the board copy of the
formula 30 they could experiment and
find out for themselves whether he had
discovered the long sought-for secret OF
not. The party who was in communi.
cation with the board was Mr.. George
Blackman, we'll known chemist of this
city.
Interviewed.
A reporter saw him at his residence
Monday and asked him if the item was
correct. He replied that it was, and
handed over o letter from the United
States ordnance department which was
signed ~ Major General J. M. Scho-
field, pre- dent of the board; Captain G.
M. TaylC., recorder of the ordnance de-
partment, and approved by L. A. Grant,
QlpiltQrof clnrntoru nf This 1ottar
bore out Mr.. Blackmans statement, but,
as he said himself, he was perfectly
willing to supply the United States gov
of Great Britain preferred with all the
samples they wanted, so that 1t could be
tested, but he was not going to give
them his formulas until they were paid
for.
Mr.. Blackmen said he could not di-
vulge his secret, but he would give all
the Information he possibly could. The
white or gray melenite which the French
use has for base a nitro-cotton. One
of the ingredients might be considered
by chemists as an alcohol, technically
speaking. The manufacture of the
white or light gray power In large
quantities would call for a large supply
of sulphuric acid. The method en-
plpyed is almost the same as in the man
ufacture of ordinary black powder. In
fact, the plant now employed could be
used for the manufacture of dark choco-
late,
The speaker then changed to cordite,
the smokeless powder used in the Brit
ish army. This, he said, might be pow
erful when used in heavy guns, but not
more 80 than the others. AS general
purpose powder he did not consider that
cordite Is applicable, especially for the
use of small arms, upon the ground
that II can not produce fine form Of
powder, which is necessary for use in
small cartridges. Statements to the
contrary notwithstanding by parties in
terested in the British war departments,
he has found by repeated tests that the
melenite and dark chocolate powders
are both proof against climatic changes,
Mr.. Blackman said, in conclusion,
that he was nowin communication with
the British war Office regarding these
substances.

A GENUINE SURPRISE.
Seriously Thinking of Advancing Wages
Politics Nothing to DO with 1t.

Seriously Thinking of Advancing Wages.
Politics Nothing to DO with 1t.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Nov. 2.-There
was genuine surprise in this city Mon
day afternoon and evening when it be-
came known that some manufacturers
were seriously considering the question
of advancing wages regardless Of an ex-
pected request for such action from
the Mule Spinners' association.
8h1n4ay afternoon notices of o
medang OF the Manufacturers associa-
ton were sent out to the various treas
uyers, and Monday meeting WAS held.
4shere were twenty-eight members pres
sent. 1t was thought that a general
discussion of the wage situation would
follow, but much to tho displcasure of
q small party Of manufacturers it was
voted, 16 to ~, to adjourn.
The calling and result of the meeting
have caused no end Of comment and
given rise to all forms Of discussion in
all local manufacturing and political
circles.
Some few of the treasurers who
voted for adjournment are known to be
in favor of a voluntary increase of wages,
but by far the greater number do not
want the impression to 60 forth to tho
country that an advance in Fall River
wages was made before the presidential
election at the suggestion of men who
are known to be advocates Of the policy
Of protective tariff ON cotton goods
and ore not advocates of reduction Of
duties on mill machinery.
Other manufacturers want TO act on
the wage question on purely business
principles regardless Of the operation of
the tariff or any other laws. The gen
eral feeling here 10 that another
meeting will be held this week, when
the question Of an increase will be hard
er pressed and more fully discussed.

NOT FINAL.
The Decision to Close the
Worlds Fair on Sundays.
The Gates May Yet Be Kept
Open for Seven Days.

Believed the Directors Mt Their Next
Meeting VIII Inaugurate Campaign
Repeating the Sunday Closing CLAUSE in
the Appropriation DiI.
CHICAGO, Nov. AT their next
meeting, directors of the worlds fair
win probably declare that the exposi-
ton must be kept open on Sunday, and
formally inaugurate the campaign that
is expected to end in the repeal by CON
gress of the Sunday-closing clause put
IN the appropriation bill. AS the case
now stands both national and local
boards are on record Us committed to
Sunday closing.
The Chicago directors months ago &C
cepted the $4,000, 900 appropriation with
the closing clause attached, and last
week the national commission voted
that the fair should be locked on Sunday
In neither case, however, can it be said
that the action taken wa5 final, or that
10 fairly represented the sentiment of
either board. OF the forty-five men on
the board, it is believed forty-three are
strongly in favor of a sovon-day fair.
To what extent the local board will
figure in the campaign against Sunday
closing has not been decided. 1t is like
ly, however, that an address will be
issued and given tho widest possible
circulation. It will take the form of an
appeal to laboring men and other organ
lied bodies, asking them to express their
sentiment to congressman and senator's.

Cruel New YORK society.

Whoever should write an analysis Of
affairs in New York today and should
leave out the strain Of social ambition
would miss the most serious thing in the
life of the metropolis. We are apt to
think the hardest thing man can do Is
to come to New York, establish foot
hold and eventually make fortune, as
so many thousands Of country boys have
done. But my observation is that If
you will go to those same men after they
have put the city under their feet, they
will tell you that what they have accom-
plished was nothing as compared with
what they have yet to do-and that'is to
get into society. do not mean Meal
listers Four Hundred when say 'ssoci-
ety." I mean polite society of any sort.
| mean the entree into any one of hun
dred far more desirable circles than Nc
Allister's band of self instituted aristo-
Gratis.
The day was when man had the
entree of any such circle If he was re-
spectacle man of amy profession or il he
| was rich. That is the case in the smalier
cities today. Any doctor, lawyer, judge
OF rich man, whose reputation is clean,
can instantly gain admission to the
incest circles in the small cities. But
he cannot do so in New York. The only
sure passport to such circles that know
of in New York today is to be horn in
such circle. The next best thing Is to
boast commission in the army or navy.
The city is old and rich and suspicious

ciety the most rigid and cruel in Amer

A Much Dreaded FIv.

The man eating fly of Central Amer
lea inhabits the low lying coast regions,
and is much dreaded by the natives for
the fearful results which follow its
sting. Naturalists call it Lucilia homi-
nivora. The average specimen is about
a third of an inch long 1t has a big
head, with the eyes on top Its cheeks
are golden yellow, its abdomen dark
blue with purple bands, its legs black,
its wings unusually big, and they pro-
duce a continuous and loud buzzing
when in motion.
The person bitten by this fly gets a
disease called myiasis. 1t generally be-
gins with an itching of the nose, then
that organ swells and bleeds; next it be-
comes liberated, and in these ulcers
may be found the larvae of the fly. The
whole face becomes swollen, erysipelas
sets in, followed by meningitis and
death. One man knew shot himself
after he had been bitten rather than
face the fortunes he knew were certain.
Cure is difficult. Simultaneous injec-
tions of chloroform sometimes do good,
but as often fail. One man / heard of
was cured by lemon juice injected into
his blood.-Interview in New York
Tribune.

Life Loaf In War.

DIR. Engel, German statistician, gives
the following as the approximate cost of
the principal wars of the last thirty
IEs sSs wsF Fi5ffg5g yB06 dO6 paa s
Danish war of 1864, $4,000, 900; war
of the rebellion--north, $4,000 900;
south, So, 300, 900, 900; Prusso-Austrian
war of 1886, $3.50, ZOO 900, Russo Turkish
war, $125, 900, 900; South African wars,
SO, ITO, 900; African war, $12,250, 900;
Servo learian, 6,000, 900. All these
wars were murderous in the extreme.
The Crimean war, in which few bat
ties were fought, cost $780, 900 lives, only
80, 900 less than were killed or died of
their wounds, north and south, during
the war of the rebellion. These figures,
it must be remembered, are German,
and might not agree precisely with the
American estimates. The Mexican and
Chinese expeditions cost $200,000,00
and $4,000 lives. There were 100000
killed and MORALLY wounded during the
Russia Turkey war, and $4,000 each
in the Italian war Of 1859 and the
war between Prussia and Austria. -San

WHY Canned salmon Is che.n.

When one comes to think Of 1t it seems
quite wonderful that one should be able
to buy pound of salmon in can from
the Pacific coast for twenty-five cents.
The frozen fish costs forty cents pound
at least. while the unfrozen article
ranges in eastern markets from one dol
lar up. Besides, the manner in which
each can is made to contain segment
of salmon perfectly fitted into it appears
most surprising, the bones, even to the
larger vertebrae, melting in the mouth
without requiring SO much as q crunch
between the teeth and the red flesh sep
arating in beautiful clean flakes.
Yet salmon would be very much
cheaper than at present were it not that
the great Gamers of Alaska have formed
o combination to restrict the product.
This is unfortunate for consumers per-
haps, but lucky certainly for the fish,
which would be wiped out altogether
within five years at the most if the COM
panies engaged in their capture had q
market for all they could produce at
profitable rates. The methods employed
are the most destructive conceivable, in
asmuch as the fishermen stretch seines
across the mouths Of the rivers and take
the fish which are going up the stream
to spawn. There is law against this
sort of thing, but it is not enforced.
Eventually, doubtless, the supply of this
valuable finny game viii run out and
artificial propagation will have to be re-
sorted to.---W ashington Star
