When Carlyle dubbed him the "un-
spea<able Turk he probably had no more
in his mind than the image of a human
being who was no less a brute because
ne had the form and semblance Of
man. With this as his idea he could
better have written of the ''unspeakable
Chlnee." The Chinee is nearer the brute
than any living animal that Is classed as
a human being.
Julian Ralph, a well-known newspaper
correspondent. was sent to China
by Harper's Weekly to report upon
the existing war. lie has return
ed TO this country. and the New
York Sun had him interviewed last Sat
urday. He says it is well understood in
China that the two Japanese whom our
Government ordered our minister to sur
render to the Chinese were tortured be-
fore they were beneaded. He describes
the torture to which they were subjected
I'm the effort to coerce them into admitting
that they were spies. First, their per-
sons were exposed and they were struck
one thousand blows with the bamboo.
The victim usually dies under this. Fail
ing TO confess, their finger nails were
pulled out with pincers. This not pro-
ducing the desired result, they were sub
jected to a physical infiction which can
not be here described. Then hot iron
chains were put on their wrists. and
boiling water poured on them until the
chains eat to the bone. After that, the
priceless boon of decapitation was grant
ed them.
We are not prepared to say that our
Government should go to war with China
for treating human beings in this way
that il had induced us TO surrender. But,
knowing the Chinese to be what they are.
we can say that our Government should
have been assured before it surrendered
these Japanese that they would not be
sui jected 70 the ordinary methods Of
Chinese treatment. 1t shocks an Ameri-
can TO hear that his Government has de-
libeI ately turned a human being over to
such a mutilation as this. We can at
least pray that Mr.. Gresham will pay a
little more attention in the future TO the
susceptibilities-to use no stronger word
of the American people.

our correspondent thinks this extra
ordinary run on the Treasury may nave
been due to the fact that exporters OF
gold had. prior to 1891, been getting gold
from the New York banks, but that
these had become exhausted by 1871 ana
exporters had, therefore, been forceu
to go TO the Treasury. They were uh-
doubtdly forced TO go to the Treasury or
not get gold. The banks of New YORK
have certainly shared for the last three
years the general distrust that the de-
based silver dollar has inspired. and they
have. therefore, shut down on eX-
porters, so as to keep themselves as
free as possible from danger. But they
had been by no means depleted before
1891. and there has never been day
since January l, 1891, when the Ne"
York banks were not better able to FUR
nish gold for export than at any time
previous TO that date.
The gold reserves Of the clearing
house banks have been in that time as
follows:
January /. 1889. $76,OOO,O0O; January,
1890 s75OO0,0OO; January, 1891, S0WO'V";
January. 1892, s9O,OOOC0O January, 1885,
5000. 900; January, 1894 SO1,Wp'eV.
our correspondent thinks the force oil
or conclusion is impaired by the fact
that the drain upon our treasury soiu
has been just as great since the rePed'
OF the Sherman act as before DuI the
figures in this behalf contain telilhe
lessen against him. The following are
the drafts on me Treasury for gold De-
fore and since the repeal Of the Sherman
law.

Those who bought coats last year, any
did not yield to the temptation TO be at
the height of fashion are telcltallIs
themselves over the fact that they are
not so much out OF style as their trlehds,
whose coats had triple skirts ana all the
other fads of a year ago. ,.,,..
Coats with added skirts are indeIply
marked as relics of last year. The new
wraps are just shade longer than the
old ones, and are all in one piece; the
sleeves are several sizes larger, put otheF-
wise a moderately well preserved gar
ment of one years standing can skuiK
along among the new ones pretty success
fully and escape detection, except by
very close observer.
However, IL is the ulster which experts
find il most difficult TO detect I'm the act
of masquerading as new. 1t Is not
possible to make many changes in such
garment. 1t must reach the bottom or
the dress, so there is no opportunity for
variety in length. Ii must fasten down
the front and must usually tit the figure,
at least partially.
The ulster shown above has wide
velvet collar. which hangs in short stOles
in front, and is edged with fur.
There are two rows Of fur down the front
and one around the bottom. The sleeves
have velvet cuffs. trimmed with fur.

New York Times: Some Of our re-
spected Republican contemporaries are
expressing great glee over the prospect
of the batting of the Democrats in the
House by eX-Speaker Reed. Undoubted-
lv there will be a tempting field for the
exercise Of that distinguished humorists
well-known talents. There is plenty Of
the contrast that is the first condition
10 satire between the opening OF the last
session and the opening OF this. But we
venture to think that Mr.. Reed will
not yield to IL. He has learned, we
think. by this time that sarcasm is not
a fruitful talent, and is at best one bet
fer suited 10 the leader of a minority
than to the leader of a majority, which,
in effect. he will be after to-day. lie
has found that his sharpest sayings
have sometimes had a double edge, and
has experienced more annoyance from
them than he has inflicted:
Apart from this personal considera-
ton. we can readily believe that Mr..

stroi eest man of his party in Con-
