CHINA SUED FOR PEACE.
The United States Intervention Strict
Iy Treaty Formality.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 16, 1S94.-The
actual facts in the suggested mediation
of the United States IN the Japanese
Chinese war have been to some extent
obscured by the speculative gossip
which has resulted from the reticence
of all the interested parties This reti-
cenoe is perfectly reasonable in view of
the fact that not single new feature
has developed in the situation since the
United States ten days ago transmitted,
through Minister Dun. to the Japanese
Government, President Clevelands offer
of his good offices to attempt to bring
about an amicable arrangement.
This was not a spontaneous interfer-
ence, if 1t can be SO called on the part
of the United States, but, as distinctly
stated in United Press dispatches from
the first, was the result of overtures
from China in accordance with the first
article of 1858 between the United States
and the tTa-Tsing" empire, by which
the United States were pound to exert
their good offices to bring about an
amicable arrangement, when the TIA
Tsing'' empire informed the United
States that any other nation was acting
either unjustly or oppressively towards
it, Minister Dun's representations to the
japanese Government under the cir
cumstances amounted to II Chinese suit
for peace. Up to the present time it is
declared at the State Department that
Japan has made no reply nor has she
given any sign that she intends to ac-
cefe to the request. --..s--
The belief at one time expressed that
Japan would agree to the mediation of
the United States has been displaced BY
an impression that she will continue the
war until China. without resort to an
intermediary, shall directly sue for an
unconditional cessation of nostilities.
The earlier belief is said to have had
for it's foundation surmise in diplomatic
quarters that pressure was being brought
to bear upon Japan by concerted
movement of Great Powers and that the
Toxic Hieroshima Government would
embrace the American method as the
lesser evil

Travelled by Himself.

When D. p. Loveland, of northern Ver-
mont, purchased farm in Shelton seri-
Gus problem presented itself to him. He
had houseful Of goods and some live
stock. To sell them meant a sacrifice to
him, so he set his Yankee ingenuity to
work to see how he could move his stuff to
his new home without too heavy expense.
This is how he did it, He went to the sta
tion agent and chartered the largest and
Longest box car to be had. Then he loaded
his goods into it. These consisted Of all
his household goods, Que wagon, a plow
and hOrssrake, 500 pounds Of butter, fifty
bushals Of potatoes, two barrels of buck
wheat, three horses, five cows, two pigs,
eleven sheep, sixty chickens and three
turkeys. By putting up partitions and
making loft over the heads of the cows
and horses for the smaller animals and
poultry. he got his live stock into less than
one-third of the car.
Then he began at the other end, and
packed in his household goods, taking his
wagon and hoserake apart for the sake OF
compactness. These occupied nearly half
of the car. Then he slung a hammock
from the roof Of the car, put in stove,
running the pipe out of the door, and pre-.
pared to accompany the goods himself.
The trip occupied five days, and during
that time Mr.. Loveland occupied the cal
with his effects. animate and inanimate
and says he enjoyed the trip. His live
stock camc out of their cramped quarters
in good condition. Boston Transcript

Lost Children In New York.

Three thousand children lose themselves
yearly in New York and are found by the
police in all parts of the city and frequent
ly in a locality so far from their homes
that they can give no idea Of how they got
there, says The Sun.
When policeman finds a child who Is
evidently lost, he first tries to locate its
home in the immediate nciFhborhood and
failing in that he either carries tho child
or leads it to the station house. If tho
child is found early in the day, it is kept
in the station three or four hours, in the
hope that the parents orrelatives, alarmed
at its disappearance, will come to the sta
tion house in search of it. If no one comes
for the child, the policeman takes the lit
tie one to police headquarters, in Mulberry
street, and up to the top floor Of the build
ing, where is what may be called the New
York clearing house for lost children.
Almost any night in the summer four
or five poor women may be seen sitting on
the stone steps Of the headquarters build
ing, hoping and waiting for their lost chill
dren to bo brought in.
