IN AN ARAB TENT.
A Dinner That Was Something of Cas-
trOnomfc Revelation.

A Dinner That Was Something of . Gas
tronomic Revelation.
We sat in circle. The chief did the
honors by offering US dish after dish
of highly spiced meat, each dish tast-
ing much like the last one, save that
the sauce contained more or less sand
according as the wind happened to
strike it while coming from the kitchen
tent to ours We ate little of each
out Of compliment to our host, but
for one would have given it all cheer
fully in exchange for a glass of fresh
milk and a piece of clean bread.
No mere servant or retainer was
permitted to come near us-no one but
the chief himself. The kitchen me-
mails brought the dish to the door
Of the tent; the lowest retainer
then took it and handed it to the next
in rank, until it finally passed Ell Hadj
Mohammed, who alone then placed it
before us. He himself ate nothing, ex-
planning that it was a period of fasting
for the faithful, when between sun and
even Whit of tobacco.
Finally came the great event of the
feast, the solemn act, like bringing in
the plum pudding at Christmas. The
flaps of the tent door were parted wide.
Ell Hadj waved his hand, and in
stalked two noble sons of the desert,
bearing between them the kid
that had been roasted whole in
our honor. Hoofs and skull were there.
He looked horribly naked with the
skin off and his sides shiny with drip
ping. He was spitted from end to end
on pole the size of a canoe mast, and
elected universal admiration, particu-
larly from the fasting faithful. We
seized our jack-knives, and peeled off
shingles of meat so succulent that we
soon forgot all about what we had al
ready consumed. It was Homeric
feast, with Homer waiting upon us.
Since then Remington and have made
gastronomic discoveries in the houses
of Paris. and tasted things which made
US feel that our heaven was not good
enough for French cook; still, even
there we found ourselves praising q
dish in this wise:
Its splendid, but, ali! that Sahara
kid!'
Ell Hadj gave us delicious coffee,
done after the manner of the east, and
served not in China, but in silver cups
of exquisite workmanship. He kindly
allowed US to smoke, although before
doing so he and all the faithful care
fully protected themselves from the
forbidden fragrance by drawing their
burnooses across their mouths and nos

races were won handily by the outsiders.

against a field of eight starters. Starter

day in the vicinity of the spot where
Catharine Cling was found dead. and late

working around an engine, a pair of
trousers, a pair of tennis shoes, a SLOUGH
hat, two empty wine bottles and base

of having been at least partly washed.

Movers to supplement their help in times

companies of men from foreign countries.
No such bands of men are to be employed
who have resided in this country less than

nv the Fall River delegates, who claim
that the law can be easily and legally
nassed. 1t was opposed by some of the
doIaoates. who declare that the trades IN
TONS must take issue against wholesale
foreign immigration. One delegation sup

labor unions should discriminate against

Ii HUNG CHANG GIVES UP.
BE Admits His Inability to Stop the
Japanese Advance.

New York, Dec. 13.-A special cable
dispatch from Shanghai to the Herald
says: "Snce the capture of Port Arthur
Ii Hung Chang has secretly reported to
the government of his inability to check
the advance of the Japanese armies. In
his report he deplores the want of rail-
ways more than the lack of troops, thus
getting even with the censors who for
merly frustrated his schemes for the devel-
opment of the resources of the empire.
Chang Chitung, the new viceroy of Nam
king, is very active and making extern
sive projects for reformation of the en-
pire. Among his plans is the construc-
ton of railways to Shanghai for the pur-
pose of opening the Marking trade. His
object is doubtless to anticipate events
when the PelSin government is overthrow
and to induce foreigners to deal directly
with him in state affairs. The Chinese
regard Chang Chitung as the rising star
of the empire. Internally China is unus-
ually quiet
London, Dec. 1s-A dispatch to the Cen
trail News from Tien Tsin says
the report of the capture of
Kin Chow by the japanese is not con-
firmed. Japanese cruisers continue to re-
connoiter along the coast. Sheng, the
Taota of Tien Tsin, is seriously i'll.
The Central News correspondent in
Toxic says that the Japanese war minister
will go to Port Arthur probably to ascer-
tain the basis of a persistent rumor that
the japanese soldiers killed civilians after
the capture of the town.
The Times correspondent in Tien Tsin
says that Ii Hung Changes official posi-
tion is firmer that ever as the court has
found him indispensable.

Depositors and Note Holders of the

St. Johns, n. f., Dec. BIT is now re-
garded as impossible for the Union Bank,
which it was announced several days ago
had closed temporarily, to resume oper-
ations. Should this be the case, however,
no loss would be suffered by the depos-
itors or note holders. The property of the
shareholders will be sacrificed to assure
such a result. To accomplish this the Bank
Of Nova Scotia, of Halifax, has sent two
representatives on the steamer Barcelona
to render whatever assistance is possible.
Large consignments of specie are also on
the way here, and 1t is hoped that this
will help to restore public confidence.
A public movement will shortly be in
augurated to devise means for procuring
food for those impoverished people who
are without any prospect of obtaining en-
ployment this winter.
Newspapers here charge ex-Premier Sir
william Whiteway, solicitor of the sus-
pended Commercial bank, with trying to
transfer his shares in that institution to
an irresponsible relative on Saturday, and
say that when the transfer was refused he
drew a certified check for IS, 500 and de-
posted the same in a savings bank; this
being done, the papers allege, when the
ex-premier must have been aware of the
Commercial Banks condition.

tary; Patrick Scott, receiver general, and
