ROOSTER OF a DUTCH DIPLOMAT.
It Disturbs an Englishman By It's Crow
ing-How It is Stopped.
From the Chicago Tribune.


The counselor of the Dutch legation to
the court Of st. James is chicken fan
cier and breeds various kinds on his
grounds in shepard's Bush, a fashionable
suburb. The diplomat, until recently. had
among his feathered favorites a proud
rooster, whose loud growing, especially
in the early morning hours. greatly dis
turbed the peaceful SAUNDERS of Mr.. Lar
mouth, the only close neighbor of the
diplomatic chicken fancier. The nuisance
became intolerable and Mr.. Yarmouth OBJ
jected personally to the counselor, who
slammed the door in his face Mr.. Lar
mouth sought the courts, but could not
get any satisfaction, as no English judge
has jurisdiction over the personnel of a
foreign legation. Mr. Yarmouth appealed
TO the home secretary, who drew his at
tention to an old act of the time of Queen
Anne, according to which people who mo-
lest foreign ambassadors and their suite
are liable to corporal or other severe pun
ishment. A further appeal to the ambas-
sador himself had no satisfactory result.
Then, during one of his sleepless morn
ing hours a good idea struck Mr.. Lar
mouth. He wrote letter of complaint to
the young queen of the Netherlands set
ting forth his grievances against her I'M
neighborly subjects and his peace dis
turbing rooster in darkest colors. So far
Mr.. Yarmouth has received no answer to
his letter from Queen Wilhelmina, but it
seems as If the counselor of the le-
cation had received from the royal school
room at the Hague some sort of a warn
ing, for few days after Mr.. Yarmouth
had mailed his letter of complaint the
rooster of the diplomat stopped his crow
ing and has not been heard since.

Sold His Wife for a Quarter.
From, the Rochester Democrat and chron-

icle.
Butler Center, Oct. 9.-The transfer of
his wife by "Kike" Culliford to Ambrose
Draft few days ago for rs cents turns
out to be one of the most noteworthy
commercial transactions that this town
ship has ever witnessed. The Cullifords
are young people, aged respectively 25
and q.
Mrs. Culliford was at work in the evap-
orators at Loren Gould's. Culliford heard
rumors that caused him to make a
trip to the evaporators. On Monday
Oct. /, he determined to put his suspicious
to a test His wife was not in the fac
tory. Inquiry revealed the fact that she
was in the house with Draft. To the
house he went. There he found Draft
and his wife in private consultation. Mo
tioning Draft into an adjoining ROOM the
wife following, he turned on his heel and
said:
do you want this woman more than I
do?"
Yes" replied Draft.
'Well, what will you give for her?'
Draft paused for a moment, then he
said firmly, but slowly, "25 cents"
she's yours" said Culliford. Fork
over"
The quarter changed hands. The wom-
an spoke for the first time. "Well, don't
care" she said between sobs. ''If you
did buy me, you have got to support me. -
II WILL" said Draft and that closed the
transaction. The transfer of property
took place that afternoon, Draft calling
for his purchase with his horse and
buggy.
Culliford has been busy exhibiting his
piece of silver to his friends and seems
pleased at the outcome.

THE CHINESE TREATY.
Considered Yesterday mt Length by
the Senate.

The Chinese treaty was under discussion
session yesterday. but that time proved in
sufficient for its disposal. Speeches were
made favorable to ratification by Senators
Morgan and Sherman of the committee on
foreign relations and by Senator White Of
California, while Senator Perkins of Cali
fornia spoke in opposition. Senator White
offered some amendments to the treaty, pro-
viding for closer restrictions upon regis
tration Of returning Chinese and said that
with this safeguard added he thought the
treaty would be acceptable. Indeed. with
out the amendment, he would probably vote
for the treaty. as in his opinion it was an
International confirmation OF the present
laws of this country against Chinese i'm
migration. Senator Perkins took the oppo-
site view and contended that the ratification
of the treaty would mean the throwing
down the bars to the Chinese. and that 1t
would undo all that had been done for the
past ten years to restrict oriental immigra-
ton. He objected to much Of the phraseol-
ogy of the treaty and contended that II 1t
was to be ratified at all, as he did not think
IL should be- II should be very carefully
amended In many particulars. Senators
Morgan and Sherman urged that the treaty
was a favorable one TO the United States:
declared that II accepted and confirmed all
our ani-Chinese legislation. and said that II
opened the way for the amicable extension
of our trade with China and the improve
ment of our relations with that country.
The only vote taken during the executive
session was on Senator Mitchelfs motion
to consider II in open session. which was
lost, by IS to 35.

CHINESE REGISTRATION.
Appreciation That There Has Been
Trickery in the Matter,

The internal revenue authorities are ap-
prehensive that the heather Chinee" has
played 1t on them" In the matter of regis
tration under the Geary law In thickly
populated sections, where the collection
districts cover comparatively small areas
the scheme of duplicate registration has
undoubtedly been worked to a considera BILE
extent A Chinaman living in New York
city would have no particular difficulty in
registering under another name in any
one or more neighboring districts and as
a photograph of one Chinaman might readi-
ly pass for that of another the fraud is not
easily detected. The duplicate certificates
are said to bring a good price among
Cinnamon who are not entitled to register
and so trade In them is said to be more or
less lively. Under the law. those who regis
ter more than once can be prosecuted for
perjury, as can their witnesses, and it is
the intention of the officials to keep a sharp
lookout for such violations of the law. and
II caught the offenders will be vigorously
prosecuted 1t is believed that these dupli-
cations VIII aggregate anywhere from 30
to 500 or even more.

PROF. MENDENHALDS OFFER.
He May Become President of the Ohio
State University.

Prof T. c. Mendenhall, chief of the coast
and geodetic survey. has been offered the
position Of president of the Ohio State Uni
versity. 1t is not certain yet whether or
no Prof. Mendenhall will accept the offer,
but he is seriously considering 1t and is in
clined to take 1t. as It is based on generous
terms and affords a welcome prospect of
comparative rest after many years of un-
remitting labor in the service Of the gov
ernment. A delegation of the trustees of
the university visited the city day or two
ago and laid the proposition before Prof
Mendenhall. He was at one time an in
structor at this institution and has a fond
regard for 1t that may induce him to 60
there.

The North Atlantic station has only two

che vesuvus at Yorktown. neither suitable
for the duty In question. The Atlanta will
hardly be ready for com nission before three

What Would the Administration Do ?


The rumors In yesterdays dispatches
from Honolulu are important chiefly be-
cause they illustrate the ever-present pos
slbility Of British interference In Hawaii.
Suppose that In the course Of time Eng
land should undertake. In the name Of alb
stract Justice and right. to do what Mr..
CLEVELAND and Mr.. GRESHAM unsuccess-
fully attempted; namely. to put Mrs.
DoMINIs back on the throne.
That enterprise on the part OF Great
Britain would be directly in the line OF the
Administrations own thwarted policy. and
OF the personal sympathies OF the President
and the Secretary OF State. And yet our
Government is committed to nothing moro
positively and definitely than to the dec
laration that interference in the affairs of
Hawaii by any foreign power will not be
tolerated by the United States. Even Mr..
CLEVELAND has recognized the existence OF
this American protectorste over Hawaii.
What would the Administration do II
England should reach out with her ships 10
aid the Qaeen and the royalist plotters to
overthrow President DoLE's Government
We are inclined to believe that the Ad-
ministration would do Its duty as an Amsri-
can Administration and without regard to
Mr.. CLEvELARD's previous theories or
cAprices about Hawaii. or the personal sym
pathies OF the President and the Secretary
OF State.
At any rate. there II no doubt - to what
the American people would cay and do.
