Horror in store for China.

In the United Service Magazine for Feb
ruary there is an article by Col Maurice.
C.B., on the war between China and Japan,
which will arrest attention. Col. Maurice
predicts fearful things for the Chinese.
"a vision of horror" he says, has been
long floating before my eyes as to what
to an end The Chinese authorities are
now boasting that they have gathered
round Pekin half a million of men. Dis
cipline or organization there is none. The
Chinese have not the fainteSt notion Of
the most ordinary military or sanitary
precautions. What will happen when the
snow, fouled by hundreds Of thousands of
men and animals, melts in the spring?
Ever since the naval battle of the ialu
the accumulation of ill-disciplined soldiery
has been going on. So grave is the danger
even for a civilized army to be long gather
ed on one spot that it is the rule of armies
only to concentrate actually for the pur-
pose of battle, and to occupy wide area
before and afterward. Even with civilized
armies one reason for 1t Is the impossible
ity of maintaining for few weeks or even
days such conditions of health as will pre-
vent the outbreak of serious epidemics.
AS soon as the warm weather sets In in
the spring the consequence OF all this must
be a frightful outbreak of pesttlence in
some form or other. probably In many
forms, but beginning with malignant typhus
in its most virulent shape" The efforts
to effect a peace may fail, the Japanese
armies may move forward slowly, the au-
thoriies at Pekfp may get little heart
again as they see the difficulties before
crates and the mild season begins the
Chinese will have, in all probability, foe
to contend with vastlyS more unsparing
than the foreign sword. T

This is the rule at the well-known bank
ing house Of Messrs. Coutts & Co., 80
Strand. None of the bank clerks wear
mustaches. and it has long been considered
point of business etiquette that all the
gentlemen employed at the bank should
wear frock coats during business hours. A
clerkship at Messrs. Coutts' Is considered
one of the prizes in the banking profession.
Some of the men are university graduates,
many have been educated at one Of the
great public schools, while several have
been called to the English bar. Some years
ago an attempt was made to have the I'M
written law regarding mustaches rescinded.
but 1t was found that greater number
preferred the old custom to remain in force
than were in favor of its abolition. This
curious custom is also said to prevail in
some Of the large tea houses in the city.
while it is well known that some Church of
England bishops prefer the curates under
their charge to be clean-shaven. A lady
who tried about three years ago to enforce
a shaved face on the groom in her employ
ment, and dismissed him at once because
he refused onpliance with her order.
found that the law gave her no such power.
and was mulcted in IS for wrongful dis
missal and the costs of the action by the
judge of the Bedford county court.

Claude McVey, awaiting trial for petit
larceny at Frankfort, Ind, escaped from
Jail Saturday night by removing a por-
ton of the heavy iron grating. He was
the only prisoner who escaped all the rest
remaining in their cells. A search for the
fugitive failed to disclose his whereabouts.
This morning he returned of his own ac-

to an adjoining county to secure witnesses
by whom to prove his innocence.

Mr.. Chonte's Perorntion.

SnOuIe'S ferOrnt1On.
1t was o'clock when Mr.. Choate, after
having spoken three hours yesterday and
forty minutes tn, day before. reached his
peroration. He had, he said, felt a re-
sponsibility in this case such as he had
never felt in any other case and never ex-
pected to feel again, and he did not be-
lieve that any member of the court. not
excepting the venerable Justice Field, whose
experience as member Of the court ex-
tended from the early days Of the war, and
who had been called upon to deal with
many questions Of vast Importance, had
ever sat in a case or that any Of them
would ever live long enough to hear a case
this country. The question involved was
whether we could rely upon the guaranty
given US by the fathers in the Constitution,
and under which the nation had so far in
its history prospered. If 1t was true, as
had been asserted, that a decision adverse
to the law was liable to cause an army Of
1O,OC0.OO0 to march this way Ito see about
it." then 1t was all the more important to
the future welfare of the country that the
court should see If 1t has the power to de-
eide such questions, and II 1t finds that 1t
has, that it should exercise it to put a stop
to such legislation this.
Mr.. Choate stopped so suddenly that the
audience did not at first appear to realize
that the argument In the famous case had
reached a finality, and that nothing re-
NAMED to determine the validity of the in
come tax except the decision of the court,
which would not, Of course, be then ex-
pected. After he took his seat and another
case was called for argument, the situation
dawned upon them, and there was such a
general cleaning out of spectators as to
render it impossible for the business of the
court to proceed for few minutes.
The case has excited more general at
tertion than any which has been before
the court for years, and it is safe to say
that the court room would have been
crowded during the continuation of the
had haa G
