claim of suzerainty over the hermit king
dom
The treaty made with us in 1882 was fol-
lowed in the same year by conventions with
Great Britain, France and Germany. The
ancient tribute was more tenaciously exact
ed, and brilliant young Chinese army OFF,
cer-then twenty-five years of age and a
captain OF infantry-was sent to Seoul as
resident. This was Yuen.
The right to make treaty carries with 1t
the right to send out embassies In 1857 the
we'll guarded secret of Corea's intention of
establishing legations abroad was divuged.
YUen used every effort to prevent it, even
attempting to kidnap the diplomats. He
captured the minister of the United States
who. escaping, stole away to the coast and
went on board the United States steamer
Omaha, which Immediately put to sea. On
her way to Nagasaki, with the Corean flag
flying at the fore. 4 Chinese squadron was
passed under full steam for Corea. This
last act practically settled what the United
States has always claimed and insisted on
that Corea is a sovereign state, which this
war will probably complete.
Just outside the walls of Seoul is an arch
way of wood and stone about thirty feet
high. Under this Corsa has annually paid
her tribute to China. VIII she pay it next
year? The answer to this question can now
be given with certainty.

ON the Chicago Herald.


The Chicago Tribune lately contained an
article entitled Mrs. o'Leary's Cow" from
which the following is an extract:
The family COW was being MIXED. and. BE-
coming restless, kicked over the lamp which
was furnishing light for the operation. In q
moment the flames wrapped the building
and everybody In Chicago knows the rest.
The above statement is true In every par
tfcuiar except the following: The family
cow was not being mill1ed on the night Of
October o. 1871, when the fire was started
that destroyed Chicago. therefore the cow
did not become restless, in fact was lying
down when the stable was on fire. There
was no lighted lamp In the stable on that
night therefore no lamp was kicked over by
Mrs. OLeary's cow while furnishing light
for the operation OF milking.
The Tribune's story is a theory which
was advanced at the time. but its falsity
was shown by the investigation subsequent-
~ made. When the tire broke out the stable
was locked, and Mrs. O'Leary was asleep In
her own house. The O'Leary house. l31 Dd
Koven street. was occupied by two families
at the time Of the fire; and the family In the
rear gave an entertainment that night for
the purpose Of raising funds to start a new
arrival in business. one of the young men
attending the party had occasion to stand be-
side the barn, and when the necessity OF his
SO standing no longer existed he filled his
pipe" and dropped the lighted match upon
the ground, setting fire to the shavings be.

this that led to the appeals of foreign mer-
chants to their home governments for the
presence OF warships in the treaty ports of
China.
1t was generally expected by them that
should the Chinese be defeated on their
own soil, exactly what happened Thursday,
according to cable reports, the Chinese SOL
diers would be demoraliZed and fall to
securing the country in every direction,
committing outrages. In that event, &C
cording to the advices. the slender thread
which sustains the obedience of the masses
to the viceroy would be snapped and pande-
n1onium would reign supreme.
The Chinese. the advices say, naturally
hate the well-ordered management Of a
foreign community, and, with disorder and
confusion everywhere. the peaceable and
well-reguated composure of a foreign COM
munity is sure to excite the animosity of
soldiers inflamed by passion. over whom
control has been lost. The great treaty
pert of Tien Tsin is believed to be specially
threatened in such case.
One prophetic statement in the mail ad-
vices is as follows:
that will surely overtake China, will the in
fiuence of the viceroy wane, and should
the defeat of the Chinese be a crushing
one, he will be absolutely incapable to
rigid disciplinarian, and, with reverses,
the masses will turn upon him with the
pent-up hatred Of years."
AS these defeats are coming to pass and
as tue prophecy nus diTeduS Deen NeTlleu
as to LIS degradation, 1t will be a matter
Of serious interest to know how far the re-
mainder Of this prediction shall be justified
by the events Of the future.

the distance is several miles greater the
wheelmen found the road so much better

Reviving n Primitive Bicycle. ,

'''A s"e Lonoou ielegrapn. -
A suggestion has been made in all "a,
robustness that the long-forgotten dandy
charger should be restored to our roads.
The rider Of this primeval bicycle as des
picted by Gillray. touched the ground on
either side with his feet and propelled him.
self along by a kind Of giant stride. thu
machine carrying the weight Of his body.
II is needless to observe that there wera
no lady cyclists In those days. The giant
stride did not suit itself to our great grands
mothers draperies. and the rational knicks
erbocker was a revelation undreamt OF.
The sport was confined to young and alta
letic bucks, whose nerves deied alike tho
ravages Of deep potations and the wor&a
assaults OF this terrific pastime. Now.
however, II is proposed that Il should ba
revived In the interests Of the heavy, the
aged and the feeble. who have no spare
power TO waste on the highly geared mods
ern machines. The old use OF the dandy
charger was found to be attended with
physiological dangers, which need not nowS
adays be run, simply TO escape high-speed
gearing, when tricycles OF light and strong
construction are turned out with driving
arrangements capable OF being modified 70
suit any degree Of weakness short of total
paralysis.

of our day have called into existenc"
show which way flows the stream Of
tendency. The new building mate
rial has come to stay. In another
century houses may not merely be
built with steel girders. They may
be made of metal frames bolted to-
gether and gripping walls of papier
mache Then the age of the tent will
return. A man will buy his house
from a manufacturer and will hire a
site to set it upon. When he moves
from one place to another, he will
take his home with him. Building
leases will die natural death. Towns
will wander about, and a great many
curious results will arise.-Pall Mall
