Washington. Nov. 10.-The approach
ing session Of congress, which will con-
vene on the 9th of December, is not
expected by those familiar with con-
greasional methods to be one Of great
activity. The fact that it will continue
only four months and that It wi be
the last session of the congress and SO
closely after the general election, are
all considered us indications that com.
paratively little work will be attempt.
ed and still less accomplished. The
greater part Of the session will in all
probability be confined to the exchange
Of chatting over the results Of the cleo
tion, and the session will become mora
memorable, more on account Of talk
than work. 1t is probable that next to
nothing will be done before the Christ
mas holidays, and predictions are free
ly made that it will be difficult to OBJ
tain or maintain quorum previous to
Christmas After the holidays there
will be but two months left for work
and speeeh-malsing.
1t will be of course necessary to pass
the usual appropriation bills.

SHE WILL PAY MONEY.
But China Will Never Give Up Terri
tory to Japan.

Washington, Nov. 1O.-The Chinese
government appealed to the United
States minister, DENLY, at PelIing, some
time ago, to cause his government TO
intervene in the hope of securing
peace, and Mr.. DENLY transmitted the
application to Washington, where il
was laid before the president wi,o has
had it under consideration for a week
or more.
An official of the state department
who is conversant with the Chinese
attitude, says:
"China no longer conceals her inabil-
ity to prosecute the war. She recog-
nizes that she was caught unprepared
and that it is the part of wisdom for
her to make the most of bad situa-
.tion by getting peace on the best terms
possible. She does this with the ex-
pectation and assurance that Japan
will come half way. Japan began the
war for the purpose, as she said, Of
securing Corea's complete sovereignty.
This China will fully concede. 1t is
also that China will pay a fair indem-
nifty. This, however, will be in cash
and not in Chinese territory, as l do
not think any peace can be arranged
which will permit Japan to- occupy
a part of Chinese SOIL"

FOR ORIENTAL PEACE.
1t Is Thought the Little Disagreement
Will Be Settled Soon.

Washington, Nov 10.-The events Of
the last six days in which officials and
diplomats Of Washington have parti-
cipated lead them to believe that peace
between China and japan will be con-
cluded at an early day. China has at
last reluctantly but very fully admit
ted that she found herself wholly un-
prepared for war. Japan, on the other
hand, smilingly accepts this acknowl-
edgement of her progress and awaits
the detailed proposition as to how
much China will concede as a basis
of peace. 1t remains to be seen wheth-
er Japan demands too much or China
yields too little, but the inclination Of
both powers is SO strongly toward
getting together that it is believed
peace will be effected on a basis Of
Corea's independence and a cash in
demnity for Japsns war expenditures.

Shelby Thought Ho Meant It, and tho Hogs
Rna

ouhcIe0s
The following is to take the place Of the
George Washington hatchet story It is
sent in with the assurance that it can be au-
thenticated if Senator Cullom denies it:
When he was II young man, before he
dreamed OF listening senates or looked like
Lincoln, he was farmer boy. One day in
August, when the blistering heat was
parchlng the crops, and even thct!o- i"nmel
hung its heud, younl. or lon wi.., ul the
porch of the farmhouse i!tii.. to h,rD cool
and Kill flies. The boss OF the farm sat
on the far end of the porch DOING He was
aroused by passing ncighbor, who called
out to him that II drove OF hogs had broken
into the watermelon patch back OF Tie
Darn The watermelon crop WAS about all
that was left. The old farmer had had
some trouble with his hogs before, and this
information aroused his religious nature
and shattered it.
Shelby!' he roared Mt the young man.
Yes, sir" was the respectful reply.
Take the shotgun and go down to that
melon patch and shoot every id hog YOU
find. Pm getting tired of this. They have
ruined everything on the farm, and now
they are into the melon patch. Hurry up"
The young man moved away, and the old
man resumed his seat and again fell asleep.
The city reader probably needs to be in
~
no such thing as cold storage, the killing Of
hog i'll August or at any time in hot
weather is like throwing away money. In
those days particularly there was no way
OF curing pork in summer.
An hour later young Shelby returned to
the house, put up the gun and resumed his
place on the porch. The old man, half
asleep. opened one eye on him and asked in
a lazy manner:
well, kill 'cm?"
KILLED seven, and two got away" was the
equally quiet response.
"What?' shricked the old man, jumping
from his chair and standing before young
Shelby in rage. You don't mean to tell
me that you killed seven of them hogs-my
Poland Chinas-this time of year when they
are useless? You young sapheadfn
les, sir" responded young Shelby, with
meek obedience that reminds one of the
Washington hatchct story; ~ did as YOU
told me, sir; only let two get away"
The old man looked at him us he would
at n curiosity. His rage quoted, and he sat
down on the floor Of the porch and nurscd
his head for some time. After awhile he
called out quietly:
SHELBY Mp
Yes, sir" was the response
Come here. You say you killed seven
of them shoats in the melon patch-seven
shot 'em-killed 'cm dead?"
KILLED em dead" responded Shelby.
The old man looked at him, took of his
big straw hat, famed himself for q mo-
ment and then said, with some solemn de-
liberation:
well, Shelby NJ, wish may be ID
If you amt the d-dcst, most obedientest.
ID oblging farmland that l ever had
around. II You keep Oh mindin this way,
you'll he president some day."
THANK you, sir" replied Shelby, who
went in the house to hide his bushes. The
old man looked after him and said to him
self:
