But never word of prayer
Escaped the drawn white lips;
The overburdened heart
Could not the wish impart
In words cen TO its God.

Was all the lips could frame.

And murmured low again,
"Thou knowest," and 10! then

Chinese Drama 1t the Seattle TheateF.
The most ancient of all dramas are the
Chinese. tradition declaring the Emperor
Wsn Te-about $50 A. D.-to have in
vented the same. Tho great majority Of
them are limited to the representation Of
extraordinary events. and are therefore,
in design at least, . species Of heroic
dramas. The list of the Chinese dramatic
authors 10 very extensive. some authori-
ties reckoning them 1t no less than 300,
and the number Of plays il therefore very
great, the same bill, unless particularly
requested by tho patrons Of . thsater. not
being repeated by q company for year or
more. The Chinese drama 10 no respecter
of class, painting with freedom tho vir-
tues and vices Of every phase of society.
The conduct Of their plays exhibits much
ingenuity and an aversion to restric-
tons Of time and place, the nature of tho
plot constantly covering . long series Of
years and spanning wide intervals of local
distances. One peculiarly Of the Chinese
drama 10 that tho hero or heroine sings
the poetical passages Of the play. or those
containing maxims Of wisdom and moral
ity. or "reminiscences and examples drawn
from legend or history. The singing
character must be the principal parsonage
in the action. and II this person dies in
the course of the play another sings in
his place. One Of these remarkable per-
formances will be seen at the new Seattle
theater on the 10Th and 30th of this
month. and will certainly prove very en-
tertaining as well a. instructive.

Cotton Belt.

At one of the great elevators in the
West, says the Manufacturers Gazette. a
belt is in use which has surface speed of
$500 feet per minute, the driving pulley
being OF 10 feet diameter. The duck.
which is the sole strength of the belt. is
made from the heaviest and strongest
staple cotton, weighing 81 ounces to the
square yard. The friction cements the
plies so tenaciously together as to render
it well-nigh impossible to separate them.
The cover will not crack, peel nor readily
chafe, and excludes all moisture or damn
ness from penetrating and destroying the
strength of the duck, while an even.
smooth, metallic surface brings it in
more perfect contact with the pulley. and
enables it to transmit more horsepower
than belt having rougher surface. IL
is deprived of stretch to an extent that
will prevent trouble from its becoming
loose and tiabby on the puIleys, but not
altogether devoid of elasticity. BY means
of powerful hydraulic stretching device
it is subjected to great strain. AT the
same time polished plates of a hydraulic
belt press are brought to bear and exert
on its surface pressure of about 1000
pounds to the square Inch, under which
process it is brought TO an even and uni
form thickness throughout. After this
has been accomplished it is, by vulcani-
Zation, rendered proof against moisture,
dry rot or decay.

NEVADA CITY, May 12.-The Grand

sents gala appearance, with tri-colored
bunting and banners that decorate every
building. The principal streets are being
spanned at frequent intervals with
stringers of Japanese lanterns and flags.
The decorations are the most extensive
and tasteful yet attempted by any prov
incial California city on a like occasion.
A humorous, novel and elaborate enter
tainment mas been arranged for, to con-
tinue all through the week, the most
notable of which will be Thursdays fra

knights with their families from abroad
will spend the week here, and ample ac-
commodations for 1000 have been pro-
vided for by the hotels.

Miles Standish's Book.

In the whole lot of 100000 volumes in
the old bookstore of the late L. O. II. 2.
Burnham of Boston there is one which
will interest collectors greatly. This vol
ume, which the owners hold for the mod
est price of s., 800, was published in Lon
Passions of the Minde in General; in
sixe bookes corrected, enlarged and with
sundry new discourses augmented. By
Thomas Wright" 1t is not the book
itself, however. but its former ownership
that gives it highest value, for once upon
a time this work belonged to the valiant
Captain Miles Standish, forming one of
the very few works which his library
contained. So far as is known this is the
only book from that library now III ex-

NICARAGUA REVOLUTION.
OPINIONS DIFFER AS TO THE
FINAL OUTCOME.
Minister Guzman Says the Revolt Was
1nstigated by Residents of
New York City.
Special to the REcoRD-UN1ox.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
WASHINGTON. May 12.-NIinister Guz-
man of Nicaragua has received advices
exactly opposite to those sent Secretary
Gresham by United States Minister
Newall. Instead of the revolutionists
having things all their own way, Guzman
says his advices, several days later than
those of Newall, state that a big, decisive
battle, which will doubtless result in
permanent victory for the Government,
is expected to be fought to-day. Definite
news of the result will not be known for
a couple of days.
The United States warship Atlanta will
leave New York to-day for Greytown,
Nicaragua. A dispatch to the Navy De-
partment from San Francisco says the
Alliance will sail for Corinto, Nicaragua,
to-day, instead of Saturday. -,
The Nicaraguan Minister said last
night that the Nicaraguan revolution had
been principally instigated by residents
of New York City. who possessed large
capital and were financially interested in
affairs in Nicaragua" This has excited
wide attention both in diplomatic circles
and elsewhere, and interest is enhanced
by Guzman's promise that he would
make public the names of the persons he
referred to at later day.
A charge of so serious character as
that, coming from diplomat of Guz-
mans standing, will certainly not be al
lowed to rest. 1t, of course, involves
considerations of an international char
acter as affecting the obligations of Mica
ragua held in Europe, and many other
matters connected with the canal question
and international guarantees.
Further developments are looked for
with interest.
The Nicaraguan Minister was one of the
earliest callers at the State Department
this morning. He had an interview with
Secretary Gresham. the result of which
has not yet been disclosed.
Secretary Gresham said to-day that he
had received no additional information
from Nicaragua since yesterday, and the
situation of affairs in that country is seri-
Gus and complicated. He begged to be
excused from expressing any opinion on
the subject one way or the other. The
Alliance will probably remain at Corinto
long enough to ascertain the situation of
affairs, and will then continue to cruise
southwark along the coast, so as to be
able to guard the interests of Americans
in cities now in possession of the Revolu-
ZIONIST party. There is no direct informa-
ton that the insurgents attempted to
destroy the canal plant or interfered seri-
ously with the progress of the work. The
officers of the Atlanta will make special
investigation on this subject, and will
see that the canal property is protected.
WARNER MILLER's STATEMENT,
NEW YORK, May 12.-Warner Miller
states that the Nicaragua Canal Company
is not interested in any way in the revo-
luton in progress in Nicaragua. The
company has never been mixed up in
any way, directly or indirectly, with the
politics OF the country.

PARIS, May I2.-Sir Charles Russell
continued his address in behalf of the
British case before the Behring Sea
Tribunal of Arbitration to-day. Sir
Charles discussed the rights of Russia in
the Behring Sea under the treaties be-
tween Russia and the United States and
between Russia and Great Britain. Sir
Charles contended that the treaties in
question recognized merely territorial
rights.
Sir Charles next referred to the forged
interpretations in the American case as
originally presented, and argued that
when the forgeries were extracted from
the case nothing remained of the rights
claimed to have been derived from
Russia.
American Agent John w. Foster ex-
planned that the contents of the docu-
ments were unknown until the American
case was prepared. AS soon as the
forgery was discovered the documents
were withdrawn.
Sir Charles replied that while the docu-
ments Were Withdrawn. the formal case
depending on the documents was not ma
terially changed.
Hon. Z. j. Phelps of American counsel
retorted that the American case had been
restated in the counter case.
The discussion was of an acrid char
acter, the proceedings since Sir Charles
began having been characterized by more
heat and temper than at any time since
the opening of the tribunal.

OAKLAND, May 12.-The Frisco team
was crushingiy defeated this afternoon at
the Piedmont grounds by the Oaklands,

the obstacle the Friscos struck. His de-
livery was too strong for the opposing

hard and got poor support.
AT Los ANGELES.
Los ANGELES, May u.-One of the
best all-round games of baseball ever
played on the grounds here resulted in
victory for the Angels to-day by a score
of to 2. Harper pitched for Stockton,
and eight hits were made off him, besides
sending three men to base on balls. The
surprise of the game, and the reason for
the Angels success. was the excellent
box work of Borchers. Besides striking
out five men, he only allowed eight scat
tering hits, and only sent one man to base
on balls. The fielding of both clubs was
almost perfect.
Finn has picked up a Los Angeles ANA
teur named Loughead, to take McVick-
er's place. Loughead led the side in bat
ting to-day, and otherwise played good
game. Finn says he will keep him.
