action of the house of representatives at

not be delivered by European diplomat,

rather surprising. Nevertheless, impeach-

CHECK FOR $25.00O.O0O.
CEREMONY AT
THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
London Is the Centre of the None
tary World. Chinese-Japanese
Negotiations.

An unpretentious ceremony, which
took place at the Bank of England at II
o'clock on Saturday morning, afforded
striking evidence of the fact that Lon
don is the center of the monetary world.
Here we're assembled representatives of
China and Japan, the former to hand
over and the latter to receive 81, 900 600
odd, the price of the evacuation of the
Lao Tung peninsular by the japanese
within three month Of snch payment.
The unintiated might have anticipated
that the transaction would take place In
coin, and that the japanese representa-
tives would take away their dues in gold
in a fourwheeled cab. Unfortunately
however, there are material difficulties
in the way of such a primitive proceed
ing. A million sovereigns weigh 256,-
seven hundred and fifty ounces troy,
which may be roughly estimated at De-
tween seven and eight tons advordupois,
so that allowing ton as fair load
some thirty-fve vans would have been
required for the operation. The pro-
cedure adopted was, therefore, much m
pier. Mr.. Horace @. Bowen, the chief
cashier of the Bank of England, was
present with the check for ga, 100000,
representing the gold which had been
paid into the bank TO China's credit.
This check he handed to China's repre-
resentative, who, with grave bow,
handed it over to Japan representative,
who handed it back to Mr.. Bowen, who
in turn walked to another Office and
paid it into the credit of the Japanese
government, where it will lie units
drawn against. A few weeksiback a some-
what similar procedure was gone through
when China paid e8,O00,000 on account
of the $4,000, 600 due to Japan as war
indemnity, and thrice again, it is pre-
sumed, these gentlemen will meet at the
bank and go through the same perform

TERRORs OF POLAR NIGHT.
Darkness Profound and the Cold Intense
in the Artic Regions.

Darkness Profound and the Cold Intense
in the Artic Regions.
From the Youths Companion.
Constantin Nossioff, reporting in "La
Tour du Monde his scientific lresearch>
es in Nova Zembla, furnishes an inter-
esting description of his sensations and
experiences during the long artic night
which began in November and ended
January 20, September was pretty com
Portable, he says. Then suddenly snow
covered the the mountains. The Samoy-
edes, his only companions, put on their
winter clothing, the fish boats set sail for
Archangel, the ground froze, the sun
lost its warmth and heavy SHOWS fell.
Winter had come IN earnest. On the
day when the sun showed Itself for the
last time all hands went out of doors to
bid it farewell. 1t remained IN sight for
half an hour only. For few days long,
er there was morning twilight. Then
this faded and gave place to black night.
| The stars shone the whole twenty four
hours. The huts of the colony were bur
| led under the snow, of which thick
whirlwinds filled the air, The wind
shook tie huts to their foundations.
Sometimes for days together the inmates
of different huts could hold no cOmmun-
ication with each other, thoughsthe huts
were side by side. It any one went out
he.was seized by the wind and had to be
dragged back by means of ropes.
In this darkness ard desolation the
aurora borealis did much to entertain
and cheer them. It lasted sometimes for
five days in succession, with splendor of
color that Mr.. Nossiloff tries svain to
describe. To enjoy the spectacle he
used to remain for hours in hole in the
snow sheltered from the wind.
81 have never seen anything more ter
rible than tempest during the polar
night" says Nossiloff. 'Man feels
himself overwhelmed in University"
When there came lull in the storm the
men ventured out to breathe the air and
purge their lungs of the exhalations OF
the smoking lamps fed with seal oil"
Twilight appeared again in the middle
of January and on the goth the sun rose
above the horizon, while the members OF
the little colony stood in line facing it
and fired a salute No one had died
or been seriously i'll, but all had the look
of corpses and were as feeble as cOnva-
lescents after a long sickness. Health
returned with the appearance of the
sun.

SENATOR JESS MERCER.
The Calhoun Statesman Has Made Fine
Record.


The papers of the state are saying a
good many complimentary things of
Senator Jess Mercer and his record in
the Georgia legislature. 1t is all deserv-
ed, too, and THE News wishes to en-
dorse all that has been said. Senator
Mercer has made an able and energetic
member of the general assembly, and
has done much in the interest of this
section and the state at large. The FIT.
Gaines Sentinel says of him:
"The many friends throughout tits
section of Senator j. E. Mercer, of the
ninth district, note with pride his splen@
did record in the Georgia legislature.
He occupies quite prominent position
among his colleagues, and is so popular
as to render him quite useful member.
He is the author of a number of impor-
tant and popular measures that have
attracted wide attention and much ia
vorable comment on the part of the
press.
The Albany Herald repIoduces the
Sentineps complimentary remarks and
adds:
"The Herald has watched the legisla-
tive career of Senator Mercer with in
terest, aud shares the pride which his
personal friends feel over the record he
has made for himself. He has been one
of the ablest and most useful men south
west Georgia has ever sent to either
branch of the general assembly, and has
won distinction for himself and reflect
ed credit upon his constituents and this
section of the state"
The senator is a growing man, and it
is safe to say that his public career did
not end with the adjournment of the
legislature.

A WONDERFUL STORY.
A Carrier Pigeon Brings = Message After
Thirty Months,

4 Carrier Pigeon Brings Message AFTER
Thirty Months.
The other day tiny bird tapped at
the window of Mrs. Nansens home at
Christiana.
Instantly the window was opened and
the wife of the famous Arctic explorer
in another moment covered the little
messenger with kisses and caresses.
The carrier pigeon had been away
from the cottage thirty long months, but
it had not forgotten the way home. 1t
brought note from hansen stating all
was going we'll with him and his exi e
dition in the polar region.
About two and half years ago the
Fran left European waters for a trip o
the north pole. From the day when she
entered the Black sea of the north no
word has been received. 1t is conject~
ured that the vessel lis somewhere near
the pole, but during two long years OF
silence the friends of the explorer heard
nothing until day or two ago.
One day last month Nansen took a
carrier pigeon, fastened missive to it
and turned the bird loose.
The trial courier darted out into the
blizzardy air. 1t flew like an arrow over
thousand miles of frozen waste, and
then sped forward over another thousand
miles of ocean and plains and forests,
and one morning entered the window OF
the waiting mistress and delivered the
message she had been awaiting so anx
iously.
We boast of human pluck, sagacity
and endurance, but this loving little
carrier pigeon in its homeward fiig t
after an absence of thirty months has
accomplished a feat so wonderful that
we can only give ourselves up to the
amazemens and admiration which must
overwhelm every one when the marvel
Gus story is told.

wonders of the world
