BY the Associated Press
WASHINGTON. Nov. 19. The statement
was made in congressional circles today
that President Cleveland's message to
to congress would throw light on the
China.Japan Question and would fore
stall any resolution of inquiry. AS the
secretary OF state, unlike any other
cabinet officers. makes no annual report
to congress, the presidents message
ordinarily deals with the affairs in
which this government has any part,
and as the recent negotiations with
China and Japan are the most impor.
tant questions the department has had
in some time. it is concluded that Mr..
Cleveland will make clear the position
OF this government. Up to this time
there is no official information on the
question, and the state department has
not even stated officially that negotia-
tions with China and japan are in
progress.
The reading of the Presidents mes
sage is the first business Of congress, 60
that it would precede the contemplated
Represen tative Bellamy Storer. 1t is
the belief OF those familiar with Presi-
dent Cleveland's position against for
eign entanglements that such reference
as he may mako to this subject in his
message will be on the ground Of hu-
manity, urging that while this govern
ment does not reach abroad for conquest
and acquisition. it can well adopt an
enlightening policy which will aid in
maintaining the peace and progress OF
the world.
CLOSED FOR THE PRESENT.
The Cbina-Japan incident. 80 far as
the United States offer Of mediation is
concerned. is considered closed for the
present by those in position to under
etsnd the situation. At the state de-
partment and at ths Chinese and Japan.
csc legations there is only negative in
formation, to the effect that no positive
answer to the American suggestion of
mediation had been received. Yet we'll
informed persons say Japan has made
its position clear in such q way as to
avoid the enhancement OF q positive
dsclinetion, and yet show that accept
ance has to be based on certain definite
conditions.
THE ESSENTIAL CONSIDERATION.
1t 10 believed that the essential con-
eideration on which Japan would con.
sent to any mediation is that China will
raise the white flag OF truce. the nblem
recogezsd the world over as an indica-
ton that contestant wants to treat tor
terms OF peace. China has not yet
made any direct offer to the Japanese,
and the latter are not disposed to con-
slider a roundabout offer which over
looks the recognized international en-
blem OF the white flag.

HOW TO BUY A HORSE.
POINTS ON WHICH WOMEN
SHOULD BE POSTED.
Mrs. Lawrence, Mrs. Haserot and
Mrs. Mum Are Expert
Judges.

In buying your horse, see to 1t that he
comes up to the following description !:
The head should not be too large and
fairly broad between the eyes, which
must be full and bright; and the ears
rather small. The neck must be light
and fine as it approaches the head, but
not too long, since this gives blood"
or coaching" impression.
Deep shoulders and we'll sloped back
are fine features in light-footed horse,
more particularly the hackney. Short,
straight shoulders must be carefully
avoided. The back, next. ought to be
somewhat short. with strong. well de-
veloped muscles on each side. forming a
hollow along the center. Then with
headquarters broad and muscular, the
tail must not spring straight out like
that Of thoroughbred.
Short and powerful legs are necessary,
with large hooks and knees having
plenty of muscle above and as much
bone below as can possibly be got. Then
the pastern joints should be large and
very deep set: small, puny joints are no
use, and generally break down before
the animal is half age.
The pastern ought not to be very
long. but should be broad and powerful
and well set back. The feet should be
good medium size. rather deep in
hoof. Large feet often denote low
breeding, and they caunot stand long
Journeys.
As to the price one must pay for a
nag, that depends upon various things,

in proof of their assertion. not one of
them could think of one, and each would
have to admit that while positive of his
accuracy. he was merely jumping at a
conclusion which appeared obvious and
did not need either proof or Illustration.

question few days ago, and fDdipg it

when the latter were handicapped by
being imprisoned in a trap. 1t was
only those who had not had an Oppor-
tunity of judging from actual expert
ence who laughed at the question as
foolish, and said that cat would GER
talDly fight trap as vigorously as
terrier. One dealer, who has been in
the business thirty years. said: .
'RatS are great nuisance 10 US, and
we frequently catch them in traps. That
old cat you see there has caught dozens
OF rats in his time, though he is getting

again. l know of no reason for this,
but 1t is an actual fact. and | quit trying
years ago. Not only would the cat re-
fuse to watch the trap. but it could not

trap. but don't see why. because he
never noticed it when 1t was empty"

all the way up to $4,000.
A little time spent in consideration of
anatomy will save one the modification
of being Instructed later on.
For instance, it is we'll to note that
the elbow of horse is the joint of the
foreleg above the knee, lying next to
the horses side.
The fetlock is the joint just below the
knees.
The forearm is that part of the leg
below the elbow and knee.
The hook is the joint of the hind leg
between thigh and shank. Pasterns
are bones between the fetlock and foot
Shank. the parts between the knee and
fetlock.
The point of the hind leg between the
hip and the hook is called the stife, and
withers are the highest point of the
shoulders between the neck and the
back. The top of the head between the
ears is known as the poll. The front
teeth are nippers. the back teeth grind
ers. The frog is the triangular piece of
spongy horn in the middle of the sole of
the foot, forming cushion for the
varlcular bone.
Sprains and splints, excrescences on
the bones of the leg. are usually caused
by strain. On the fore shank they are
called splints and may do no harm. On
the hind legs they are sprains and usu-
ally result in permanent Iameness.
To interfere is to strike the fetlock
with the foot; to forge is to strike the
toe of the fOrefoot with the toe of the
mind foot, usually the result of bad
shoeing.

The Vampire Bat.

The bats of this country are not to be
dreaded in comparison to those of the
vampire species which abound in India.
Just imagine big mouse with a horn
on his head like a rhinoceros, furnish
him with pair of demon-like wings.
and you have very good picture of this
latter kind. The natives dread the
vampire bat Oh account of his blood
sucking propensities. In the sultry
nights he fans the heated sleeper with
his wings while his needle-like teeth are
being inserted into the veins of
his victim. quenching his thirst for
blood with such sgentleness that it IS
only by some fortunate chance that he
is discovered before the mischief is
done. 1t Is a Northumberland fact
that If all individual is once bled by a
vampire he Is invariably chosen, In
preference to all others equally ex-
posed, for subsequent attack, and even
If he were TO move ten or twenty miles
away no immunity is gained thereby, as
the bat is sure to follow him and keep
up his bloodthirsty attack until his
victim succumbs or the animal is dis
covered and killed.
