China aud Brasii-Ni.aragua Legations
Nearly All Abolished.
WASHINGTON. July 6.-Nothing is known
In this city OF the details Of the immlera-
ton arrangements between Brazil and
China, the conclusion Of which il just an-
nouuced from China. II ia said at tho
Chinese lcgat ton that the new convention
IL merely supplemented to the general
treaty between the two countries, already
In existence and is confined tn the subject
of the introduction of Chinese laborers
into Brazil. Yang Ju. the new minister to
the United States, now enrouic tn this
country, will probably bring tho first full
particulars Of tho document.
Dr. Guzinau. the Nicaraguan minister,
to- lay called upon Secretary Gresham and
presented his letters of recall. He com.
municated to the department that the Nj
caraguan government has abolished its
legations In all save a few countries in
South and Central America. This action
is understood to be based on economical
considerations. As matter Of interna'
tional comfy. tho diplomatic representa-
ton of one country with another Is ex'
pcctcd to be reciprocal. II 10 thought un
likely. however. that this course will bs
pursued with Nicaragua, the American
interests in the canal are so important
Lewis Baker OF Minnesota, the prsseni
minister to Nicaragua, will probably bs
requested to remain.

Stories OF an attempted combination

the assurance of Crisp that Bland will be
retained at tho head of the committee,
are floating about but not all genenliy
credited, for. though il is openly said by
some that Bland will not again be chair
man OF the committee. there are no fhcts
that would warrant such an assertion.
Crisp has not even intimated such thing.
Among the more conservative the impress
sion is that Bland will head the commit.
tee. This would not, however, indicate
that the entire committee will remain. Il

no pledges one way or the other.

Our County Roads Must Be Improved.

While it is the intention of the
GRAPHIC to pay close attention to
and encourage all internal improve
ments in the city, we do not propose
to be SO blinded by city enthusiasm
as to overlook external improve
ments; the interests of the county
and her citizens upon whose welfare
depends in a great measure the finan-
cial and material upbuilding OF the
city. 1t is fact. too well known
that the public roads leading into
Pine Bluff are disgrace to our city
and county, and stand an obstacle
in the way Of our progress Why?
Because we know that farmers in
Lincoln, Cleveland and Grant coun-
ties, to say nothing of Jefferson,
carry their cotton to other markets
when they would prefer to bring it
here, thereby decreasing the city's
trade more than is imagined. Now.
what is the remedy? II the County
Judge has not the money at his
command to improve the roads and
bridges, the business men OF Pine
Bluff, who are the direct sufferers
from this cause, must take this mat
ter in hand and have these roads i'm.
proved, at least a few miles out from
the city, where they appear to be al
ready growing almost impossible
These statements are facts and the
Commercial Club or tie Board o.
Trade will do well to appoint meet
ing at an early date and discuss ano
execute plans for Improvement.

THE SULTAN'S WATCH.
Story OF Trick Performed by Hermann
Before His Majesty.

Story of Trick Performed by Hermann
Before His Majesty.
while on board the sultan's YACHT
writes Hermann in the North Amer
lean Review, 81 noticed that he had
magnificent watch, which he consulted
and handled as if it We're the apple of
his eye. This, of course, was good
thing for me, for, since l was perform
ing before him personally, it was not
etiquette to take anything from the
audience. / asked the sultan to take
out his watch and show it to me. which
he did. I then said: Will your i'm
perial majesty allow me to throw the
watch overboard?'
"He laughed at first, but a second
afterwards his brow darkened, and he
looked d little bit as if he were of
Tended with me for making the re-
quest.
eff said I, 4 do not return the
watch to you exactly as you give it to
me, you can put me in irons for the
rest of my life
1.-THE sultan looked me in the eye
with piercing glance and then handed
the watch to me. | instantly threw it
into the ripping waves of the Bos-
porus.
1.-THE yacht careened over, for every
individual, from the cabin boy to the
sultan himself, rushed to the. side and
looked overheard after the watch.
Il felt that if anything went wrong
with this trick / certainly should be
put in irons; but / called for a fishing
line, and, instead Of showing any
anxiety, at once proceeded to do a lit
tie fishing. Everyone looked at me,
not so much with astonishmentas with
pure disbelief in my ability to recover
the watch, which was not only enc of
the things in the world the sultan
liked, but was worth great deal
more than any watch had ever seen.
Fortune favored my fishing, for in
few minutes I drew up a sinner on
my hook, and landed it safely on the
deck. / brought it before the sultan,
took out my pocketknife, ripped it
open, and presented the watch to his
majesty in its original perfect con-
dition.
Turks, as rule, are not very
demonstrative, and I found in after
life that to make Turk laugh heartily
is impossible. They smile, look pleased,
and with their daintily-pointed nails
pick their boards; but on this occasion
every Turk, from the sultan and his
b1ue-blooded pashas to the sailors in
the forecastle, sent up one howl of de-
light"
Mr.. Hermann does. not tell how the
trick was done, but that is his own
affair
