AS CHINA SEES 1T.
IF THE CHINESE CAN'T COME HERE
WE SHOULD NOT GO THERE.

Quoting George Washington Against the
Kwo Gin Complains That He Has Not
Been Treated With Consideration.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-Mr. Tsui Kwo
Gin, the Chinese Minister, has prepared a
letter to the Secretary of State urging an
early response to the various COM
munications that the Chinese Govern
ment has sent to this Government with
reference to the restriction of Chi
nese immigration. Owing to the continued
illness of Mr. Blaine the letter has not yet
been sent, but there is little doubt that 1t
will be forwarded to the State Department
within very few days. During an inter-
view the Minister said:
For several years, in fact ever since have
been in this country. have been endeavor-
at the hands of the United States. To this
end have forwarded a number of letters to
the state Department., stating our position
in this matter, but as yet have received no
satisfactory answer.
If the United States wishes to put a stop
to Chinese immigration it should be done
by means of treaty with my country. For
vidins for the admission Of Chinese and and
Congress is hardly acting in good
faith. One side has all to say and
the other side is not considered at all. By
your Constitution you encourage immigra-
tion and insure fair treatment of all alike,
and yet your treatment of the Chinese is
inconsistent with the Constitution and the
principles laid down by George Washing
ton.
When asked whether, if the United States
placed further restrictions upon Chinese
immigration, China would exclude Ameri-
cans from her territory, the Minister
replied:
1t seems to me that Americans should con-
slider the situation and withdraw from China
of their own free will Let US suppose that
the American Minister in London should saw
to the. Chinese Minister, "You keep away
from the American Legation House. 1 don't
want you here" Do you think the Chinese
Minister would visit the American Legation
any more, and do you think the Amer.
lean Minister would expect much
of welcome at the Chinese
Legation? You, NAV draw your own
inferences. Again, suppose that one
Washington bank should say to another,
"We won't have anything more to do
with you; we will not handle your
paper" Say the next week that same bank
should ask the other for q loan of $780, 600 or
SO, do you think it would be accommodated
The American people are talking a great
deal about reciprocity just now. They
should remember that reciprocity works
two ways.

Passenger Fares Between Chicago and the
Ohio River sIashsd.
CHICAGO, March 2L-The Pennsylvania
Company has decided upon a move calcu-
lated to put it on a more equal footing with
the Monon, the Big Four and other Ohio
river competitors that permit the indiscrim-
mate and unlimited use Of mileage tickets,
and thereby reduce the fares to 2 cents q
mile.
Beginning tomorrow it will put new set
of rates into effect, reducing the price of
tickets from this city to points in the Chi
cago and Ohio River Traffic Association, as
follows: To Indianapolis, from S. to IS g.;
to Cincinnati and Louisville, from IS to S.
In all probability this will lead to the usual
passenger rate war between Chicago and
the Ohio river, which will continue until
some sort of an agreement can be reached
concerning restrict ions on mileage tickets.

Time in Aninnala.

Time sense is very highly developed in domestic fowls and many dogs, horses and other mammals, which keep an ac- curate account of days of the week and hours of the day. and have, at least, a limited idea of numerical succession and logical sequence. A Polish artist, residing in Rome, had an exceedingly intelligent and faithful terrier, which, as he was obliged to go on 8 journey, he left with friend, to whom the dog was warmly attached. Day and night the terrier went to the station to meet every train, carefully observing and re- membering the time of their arrival, and never missing one. Meanwhile he became so depressed that he refused to eat, and would have died of starvation if the friend had not autographed to his master to return at once if he wished to find the animal alive.

 70. yes, while there's life there's hope, and he is a healthy youngster, temperate and prudent, but he is going to have a narrow squeak, very mar row squeak" Leaving the medicine with explicit directions how to give it, he rode away to other patients.
 The long night through, the colonel sat by the bedside of the poor waif struggling for life and reason, and it seemed to him as if in his delirium he repeated million times over: Mot as good as the dirt under her feet, and loved her."

MUMMY WHEAT.
Evidence to Show That There Is No Such

Evidence to Show That There Is No Such
 Thing.
 Some seeds would only live very short time after they were shed. It was said that the seeds of the willow would not live more than a few days, some said more than few hours, they were so speed. v dried up-the little embryo was killed, and the whole of the life was gone. Of course, this cut at the root of all stories about mummy wheat. It was quite certain, says Notes and Queries, as had been clearly established again and again, that no seed which was buried with the mummy at the time it was put in the coffin had ever germinated. It was not only the ex- animation of the seed that would es- tablish that; experiments had been made to show that this was not the case. A large number of seeds in the British museum had been examined, taken from mummies, and they were all in the same condition that the mummy itself was in. It would be impossible | to stretch out the arm of a mummy, be- cause the whole of the muscle was en- tirely burned up by the slow action of the oxygen, and it was completely rigid. | It was SO W4bA uAA0 "uO4S OA O14OSO SLoAA5 of wheat and flax and various other seeds that werc preserved-they were E in the same condition. They had been subject to the slow burning action of the oxygen, and the whole of their vii tality had disappeared. With regard to what was grown as mummy wheat, it was only form of corn that was still extensively cultivated on the southern shores of the Mediterranean, and was easily obtained from Arabs and others, who were always ready to impose upon travelers, who brought it home as true mummy wheat.

PLAIN MAN.

Mrs. Gregory, who had that day dis covered what hold the quiets cheerful young man had on her, could hold up no longer, and went to her room in tears, while the colonel put on his hat, called favorite dog and went out to look for John, whose room was still va cant, but whose horse he ascertained was in the stable lot. He started around the lawn fence and about half way around the circuit, under a widespread ing live oak, which was a favorite resort, the dog discovered the young man. He was stretched out on the damp grass, tossing restlessly, occasionally moan ing, and when the colonel placed his hand gently on his head, and felt his pulse, he discovered that he was in a raging fever. He aroused the place,
 put him carefully to bed, sent in hot haste after the doctor, and sat by his bedside until the doctor came, who after careful diagnosis shook his head and said, sadly: Bad case, colonel, bad case, great shock, brain fever" The good doctor was also rather attached to the young man, though he had not be-

TRYING THE GOLD CURE.

Actor Henley Expects to Regain His Pres
 tige Through the Remedy.
 NEW YORK, May 30.-E. J. Henley, the popular young actor, is the latest patient at the Keeley Institute at White Plains, N. J., who is undergoing the bichloride of gold treatment for chronic inebriety.
 Henley is the most useful actor in his line in the country, and Managers Palmer and Frohman have relied upon him to play the leading parts when in troducing their new plays of the past few years.
 When some weeks ago the comedy of 'EFriendsn was produced at the Standard Theatre, Henley was chosen to create the leading part. On the opening night his condition, however, was such that a sub stitute had to be provided tor him, which greatly jeopardized the success of the play in which Henley did not after wards appear.
 Shortly after this he became very i'll and was nursed into convalescence by his joint managers for next season, Messrs James T. Waldron and William Fleischman. During Henley's illness he frequently spoke of renouncing the drinking habit forever, and Richard Golden, of ''Old Jed Prouty'' fame, sug gested to Fleischman and Waldron that if Henley could be prevailed upon to take the Keeley cure he would not here after be regarded as unreliable.
 During his stay at White Plains. Hen ley has proved to be a very tractable patient, and like all new converts has become an enthusiastic believer in the efficacy of the treatment.

CHAPTER K. THE nnET.

About five o'clock in the morning John stepped out of his room into the yard and was immediately accosted by Henry Gregory, who had been waiting anxiously for him to appear. Henry showed in his haggard appearance the effects of sleepless and anxious night. John on the contrary was cool and fresh looking as if he had slept well.
 ''I suppose you know, John, that noth- ing short of duel will satisfy Lanvale," !" said Henry.
 "I understood that before knocked him down last night. aud went to bed with my mind fully made up to kill him."
 ''That is just what have come to sec you about; argued nearly all night with Lanvale. have shown him that he was the aggressor, and have told him that he was no match for you, that you are dead shot; but believe if he knew it was certain death he would insist on meeting you, the fellow seems absolute | 1y crazed. He has come here by my in- vitation; you are member of our fami- | ly, and if he should come to harm here could never forgive myself, and want you for the sake of our family to spare | him."
 "And stand up to be shot at by a | crazy fool who first insults me, and be- | cause punish him then wants to kill me. will make no such promise"
 'tWel, John, I know you of old, and when you talk that way it is no use to argue, but want to say if you kill Richard Lanvale want you to send an other bullet through my body; cannot face the world if you kill that man"
 The hard expression on Johns face softened as he looked at the saddened countenance of his once boyish friend.
 Well, Henry, suppose will have to let him off to gratify you, but it ii only on condition that there be one ex change of shots"
 "All right" said Henry, joyfully. ''l will leave him in your hands,"
 "When does he want to have this en tertaining performance?" said John. "At your convenience"
 '"The quicker the better; it is al ready light enough to see. I will mee you down by the bayou bridge in ter minutes"
 With that they parted At the ap pointed time John was at the plac named, about half mile from tn, house, with his rife in hand, and in tw, or three minutes the other two younl men appeared, Lanvale carrying Henr. Gregory's rife.
