UNCLE SAM ON DECK.
1t Seems that the United states Will
be Called Upon to Arbitrate the
Eastern Misunderstanding.

Washington, Nov. 16.--The fact was
developed to-day that Tsang Ii Yaman,
of the Chinese council cabinet, has made
direct request to the United States that
this government offer Its services as me-
diater. Heretofore 1T has been under
stood that the request from China was
that this government join other powers
in intervening, to which this government
responded in the negative and offered to
act alone. 1t was also developed to-day
that substantial feature of the PROPOSE
tion made by the United States to Japan
is as follows:
"If the United States were in position
to exercise
ITS GOOD OFFICES
in bringing about an understanding be-
tween China and Japan, would Japan feel
it would be preludicial to her interests to
have such influences exerted!"
The state department has received in
formation that a special meeting of the
Japanese ministry has been called for to-
morrow to consider final answer to the
offer of the United States to mediate be-
tween Japan and China. The delay thus
far is explained by the fact that the
cabinet meets at Toxic while the emperor
HAS TO BE CONSULTED
at Herosima. Strong intimations have
reached the officials here that the Jap
anese cabinet will ask China either to
make her offer direct to Japan or else
specify the exact amount of the indem'
nifty she will pay.
PORT ARTHUR ONCE MORE.
| Observation-Disclosures from the head
quarters of the Japanese army operating
against Port Arthur say that Field Mar
shal Oyama was expected to. attack that
place yesterday or to-day. The Chinese
force defending Port Arthur is estimated
at 10000 men.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 16.--Under the
national banner, "For God and Home and
Native Land" delegates representing
every state in the union and thousands of
wearers of the white ribbon assembled
this morning in Music hall to open the
21st annual convention of the Woman's
Christian Temperance union.
In the course of her address
PRESIDENT WILLARD SAID:
"The work of women is the most
unique feature of the recent great cleo
tions. 1t is freely admitted that they had
much to do with the downfall of the
Tammany ring. 1t was largely case of
The Lady or the Tiger with no doubt
as to which came out ahead. In Illinois,
the women voted by tens of thousands.
"In Colorado the Prohibition party
was raised from 1,70O at the last election
to from 1000 to 10000, and the universal
presence of women at the polls led to a
much larger vote by the men and secured
the best results ever known. The Re-
publican party
DID ITsELF DAMAGE
by assisting the Democrats to vote down
the enfranchisement of women in Kansas,
but it illustrated its progressive tenden-
cies by putting plank in it's platform in
favor of woman suffrage in California,
Idaho and Utah."
The annual report of Mrs. Helen M.
Barker showed the years receipts to be
$26,019.O2; disbursements $20,33S.07. The
report of the corresponding secretary
stated that while nearly all the churches
and missionary and charitable societies
mourn deficit in their finances and the
consequent crippling of their work, the
W. G. T. U. comes to its annual meeting
with increased membership, with every
bill paid, and with a more comforting
balance in the treasury than in any
previous year.

 Then the reaction came. He fixed his eye upon the negro above and laughed until the tears washed the dirt from his face, and lsam, holding his head up so that his vision could encom- pass the narrow horizon, said slowly and impressively:
 Mass Cratfud, of de Lord hadn't t 'sist'd on Isam cum n down ter run dat deer off, spec by dis time you d been er-fopp'n 70 wings up wander, CT else sput' Il on CT grindi on down wander. ' And from his elevated perch [sam indi- cated the two extremes of eternity with an eloquent sweep of his hand.
 But the major had small time for laughter or recrimination. In the dis tance there rang out faintly the full mouthed cry of hound. Isam heard it. For him it was at once a welcome and stimulating sound. Gliding to the ground, he helped the wearied ma for to his feet and started on the run for the boat, crying:
 Run, Mass Craffud-wors' n deer E cummin. Hits dem folks wat know about dat corn en watermilluns, en yer can't 'splain nuthin ter CT houn dog. Broken down as he was, the major realized that there was wisdom in the negro's words and followed as best he could. The camp traps were thrown into the boat, and the little bark was launched. A minute later the form of l a great, thirsty looking hound, the rum aways bete noir, appeared on the scene. But the hunters who came after found naught beyond the signs of camp, ii they found anything, and soon follow ed the hound, which had regained the trail of the buck and yelping passed into the distance. The boat had long since passed the bend.
 How Isam ever settled his difficulty needs no explanation. But it may in terest the reader to know that one day he bore message and check that set tied the corn and melon debt, and they l tell it in middle Georgia that every yea thereafter, until the war cloud broke over the land, whenever the catalps worm crept upon the leaf, two runaway fled from Woodhaven and dwelt in tn I swanps, "loos' ell free.

French Stilt Walkers.

The majority of the people in the western portion of the French province of Gascony walk on stilts. That is a district known as the Landes, with a sea line bounding the French side of the bay of Biscay and extending at it's greatest breadth about 60 miles back into the country. The Landes form one of the widest and strangest parts of France, and the inhabitants are fully as strange and uncultivated as the black pine forests, the dreary swa1nps and the far spreading deserts of fine white sand which they inhabit. Most of them are shepherds, and they elevate them selves on stilts five feet high ill order to be above the marshes and the. sand blasts. These stilt walkers present strange and uncouth figures as they pro- gress over the wilderness of country in attendance on their flocks, sometimes at the rate of six or seven miles an hour. They rest by the aid of third wooden support, pursuing meanwhile their eber- lasting occupation of knitting.
 In appearance the Landes shepherd looks like an uncouth mass of dirty wool. On his body he wears a fleece
 like a rude paletot; his thighs and legs I on the outside are protected by greaves of the same material and his feeFin- l cased in sabots and coarse woolen socks.
 In some parts of Malaysia the natives
 walk almost habitually on stilts. Ma
 ture and necessity have brought about 1 this result, as excessive inundations o1 | river and sea often submerge the whole surface of the land in many places

Some Striking Examples of the Workings of the Ice Age.

Some Striking EXanpieS OA ehc WOFhAHSs
 of the Ice Age.
 An immense area of the northeastern states. extending south to New York, and then westward III an irregular line to Cincinnati and St. Louis, is almost wholly covered with ;a deposit of drift material, in which rocks oS various sizes are i'm bedded. while other rocks, often of enormous size, lie upon the surface. These blocks have been carefully studied bv the American geologists. and they present us with some very interesting facts. Not only are the distances from which they have been transported very great, but in very many cases they are found at a greater elevation than the place from which they must have come.
 Professor G. F. Wright found an enor nous accumulation of powders on 8 sandstone plateau in Monroe county, Pa. Many of these powders were gran ite and must have come either from the Adirondack mountains, 200 miles to the north. or from the Canadian highlands, still farther away. This accumulation of powders was 70 or 80 feet high, and it extended many miles, descending into a deep valley ,000 feet below the plateau ill a nearly continuous line, forming part of the southern moraine of the great | American ice sheet.
 On the Kentucky hills, about 12 miles south of Cincinnati, conglomerate bowl | ders containing pebbles of red jasper can | be traced to a limited outcrop of the same l rock in Canada, to the north of Lake Huron, more than 600 miles distant, and 1 at intervals over the whole intervening country. In both these cases the blocks must have passed over intervening val | leys and hills, the latter as high or near 1 ly as high as the source whence the rocks were derived.
 Even more remarkable are numerous powders of Heidelberg limestone on the 1 summit of the Blue Ridge in Pennsyl vania which must have been brought from lodges at least 300 feet lower thar the places upon which they now lie The Blue Ridge itself shows remark able signs of glacial abrasion in vel defined shoulder marking the southern limit of the ice Gas indicated also by heaps of drifts and erratics), so that MT Wright concludes that several hundred feet of the ridge have been worn away by the ice.
 The crowning example of bowlde transportation is, however, afforded b, the blocks of light gray gneiss discover ed by Professor Hitchcock on the sum init of Mount Washington, over GOO feet above sea level, and identified witt Bethlehem gneiss, whose nearest outcro] l is in Toffarsop several miles tC tine north west and 5000 or 4,O00 feet lower thai Mount Washington.-A.

 A most fascinating story comes to us from Montpelier. Vt, concerning MT. Wal lace w. Moves and his wife, prominent people of that city. MT.

 He was wounded April 2d, 1865, at Petersburg. He is one of the few privates who have ever received a medal of honor from the U. s. government for distin- guished bravery. He stood on the wall ot | the fort at Spottsylvania in the bloody angle, and was the only man that lived ir that spot. MT. Moves was wounded sever days before the final surrender, and up to that time never lost a day during the whole war, enlisting when 17 years of age l His wife had an equally interesting ex perience.
