BoYcoTTED BY EUROPE.
Neutrality Laws Will Not Allow Sales
to Oriental Beligerents.

LONDON, Sept. ga letter to the Times.
dated Aug. % mentions reports of move
ments of Japanese warship south of
Shanghai and of Japanese feet in
Formosa channel. but the reports had re-
ceived no confirmation.
The writer further says: Privately l
learn the canton arsenal authorities are in
difficulty which may effect the whole
war. China was to pursue Fabian policy
and rely upon her enormous wealth, TO
ultimately crush Japan. Both countries
were SURPRISED to find the neutrality
laws prevented their buying war
ships in Europe. Orders were given
to the various Chinese arseuals to
build ships and make guns. The Foo
Chow arsenal. the largest and only one in
China that ever built ships on a serious
scale. may be in state of readiness, al
though it will not be able to build large
vessels without great deal of European
help. But the Whampoa arsenal at Can
ton was found to be in a lamentable state of
unfitness and heavy punishment Is sure
to fall upon the officials responsible for
this condition of affairs. Ia the meantime
the japanese arsenals are reported to be
working on an unprecedented scale.
The questions of what articles may be
declared contraband is seriously disturb
ing the eastern trade. Great Britain re-
fuses TO recognize rice as contraband.
China can do practically nothing at
present with the japanese coal trade.

A Go-as-you-please Railroad.

There is a branch line in tho west of Ire
land where, if anything was forgotten at
a station, the train went back from the
next TO recover it. On this line a traveller,
getting out to stretch his legs, asked of the
guard, How long do you wait at this
station?" Wen go on just whenever lie
suits you, sir, - was the obliging reply. He
was the only passenger by the train.
Frankfort Moore tells in a recent book of
delightful station master who used to
stroll round the carriages when the trains
stopped, with special inquiries after the
health and comfort of each passenger The
regulars he knew intimately, and all their
concerns, their ailments, ETC., and every
thing was inquired after in detail
One day a hasty commercial gentleman,
whose patience had given out, attempted
sarcastic rebuke. Look here, station
MASTER he cried, lis there breakdown
on the line?" ''Idon't know, indeed. sir"
was the bland reply, but III try to find
out for you" The station master went off
and did not return for five minutes ''I've
telegraphed up the line, sir, |" he said, "and

nation regarding a breakdown has reached

the official. ''What, you are
anxious to get on? Certainly, sir I'll
tell the guard. Good morning, sir'
When the train was at last in motion, a
very old man in a corner pulled out his
watch and then turned TO the commercial
traveller. Arc you aware sir, he said
tartly, THAT your COMPOUNDED inquiries
kept us back just seven minutesg You
should have some consideration for your
fellow passengers let me tell you, sir" a .

ARDuoRE. /. T.. Sept 2S.-Congressman
Peel of Arkansas has been engaged as
general attorney OF the Chickasaw nation
at Washington to succeed General ID. T..
Paine The Office is fat one, paying
s2,5OO a year and 10 per cent. of all claims
and moneys recovered. For more than
twenty wears General Paine has represent

ing the past year he has advised the nation
10 treat with the Dawes commission. tell
ing them that statehood for the five civ
iliZed tribes is inevitable, hence the
change
So far as statehood is concerned this
action is discouraging. The Dawes COM
mission was met with the greatest OBJ
stinacv by the Indian leaders who are
charged with having good thing and OF
a stubborn tenacity in holding 1t.
The better element in the Indian nations
see that the old tribal farce governments
must eventually cease and are ready tor
the change Overrun as the territory Is
with criminals they would welcome any
change which would bring more regular
government
There is little doubt but that the Dawes
commission will report at the next session
of congress and no one questions that their
report will advise summary action with
the obdurate Indian leaders. The dis
placed attorney understood THIS ana ne uiu
not hesitate TO tell the Indians that it
would be useless for them to fight the
matter longer. Since then he has been in
discredit with the leaders who intend to
fight till the last ditch. But fight as they
may, the general opinion here Is, lands III
severaIity and eventually statehood is in
evitable, and the report of the Dawes COM
mission will be the opening wedge which
will be followed by developments thick and
fast so far as the five civilized tribes and
others are concerned.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 28.-Dan Creedou, the
vanquished middle-weight, returned from

"FirZsimmons is not a fair fighter" said
he. Five minutes before l went into the

strike me with his wrist over the head aud
that he depended upon that trick to win
his fights. Corroll brought Firz out here
and knows all about his methods 1t is an
old trick, one frequently used in Australia
and have cautioned myself about using
it. You can daze or stun IA man with
blow with the wrist on the side of the head
where if you punched with your fist you
would not hurt him. Fitz worked this
blow in on me in the last part of the first
round. It was as if had been nit vita a
