Chinese Journalism.

From the New ! ork tribune.
Though the recent massacres occurred
any weeks ago. and European powers
have taken steps to avenge the mission
aries, nothing has been reported in regard
to the opinion of the Chinese press con-
corning those bloody and important occur
rences. Still, there are native papers in the
middle empire, as 1t was shown at a meet
ing of the Paris Society of Social Economy
during a lecture delivered by NJ Imbault
Hrard, French consul at Canton.
The oldest and most important of the
Chinese newspapers. the Peking Gazette,
dates from the eighth century. 1t is a
kind of bulletin of laws and official organ,
publishing the details relative to every
movement and incident in the imperial
court, as well as the official DEGREES and the
reports sent by officials and record of the
sittings of the tribunals. These communi-
cations are furnished to the Gazettes edi-
tor by the functionaries of the palace; they
are set up with an infinite care, and are
printed only after having been revised and
corrected very attentiveiy They are not
published, consequently, till two or three
days after having been communicated to
the editor, who, meanwhile, keeps publish
ing daily unofficial edition of the Gazette
The paper is solo in the streets of Picking
ty newsvenders and criers. The subscrip-
ton price of the official edition Is about 81
month; of the unofficial edition, So There
is manuscript edition which costs Sc
monthly.
Outside of the capital, the first Chinese
paper published appeared at Shanghai
about thirty years ago 1t was soon followed
ty the Tieu-Tsn Journal and the Cam
ton Journal. These newspapers were found
ed by Europeans who were, in fact only
rominafiy In charge. the real inspirators
ard editors of those independent sheets be-
ing literati, mandarins anxious to place
themselves beyond the reach of imperial
prosecutions. There are, indeed no re-
strictive laws against the press in China
hut neither are there any laws guarantee
Ing the freedom of writing and speaking,
SO that Chinese journalists are always at
the mercy of the police.

THE ANTI-TRoLLEY PETITION.


Mr.. Rfdout's Letter Causes 1t to BE
Withdrawn From Circulation.
The petition which, as stated in The Star
yesterday, was being circulated among cit
liens residing along the line of the Eek
ington railroad. asking that the trolley
poles be Immediately removed, was filed
with the Commissioners this morning. It
had on it the following Endorsement:
1T was the intention of the originators
of this petition to have circulated it extern
sively and secured the signatures of sew
eral hundred people directly interested in
the subject to which it relates, but in view
of the letter addressed to the Commission
ers by Mr.. John Ridout, attorney for the
lexington and Soldiers Home Railroad
Company, published in The Evening Star of
yesterday, stating that it is the purpose of
the company to remove all the poles and
wires on New York avenue within ten
days, its further cfrcula ton seems to be
useless and unnecessary, assuming that
the promise of the attorney for the road is
made in good faith and will be fulfilled.
The petition is therefore respectfully sub
mitted in its unfinished state for filing with
the other petition faVoring a retention of
the poles"
Discussing the situation on the lexington
line and the statements made by President
Newbold before the agreement made with
the Commissioners that the trolley poles
should be taken down In ten days, Mrs.
Ruth G. D. HavenS writes to The Star:
president Newbold says it will be dis
advantage to the Catholic University if
students must transfer at the Boundary.
l wish President Newbofd would consider
the greater disadvantage to which
he subjects the bulk of his paying
patrons-government clerks, who must
be at their work on the moment-of
two transfers, each with a wait of any
where from five to ten minutes, besides the
first wait of from ten to eighteen minutes
for an illegal trolley car. He says "a ma
jority of them (Students) ride in to 7th
street and take the cable, which is hardly
helievable, as there Is no transfer at It'll
street; and in my experience with the road,
from it's inception, / have never seen a
dozen students ride to It'll street and take
the cable But even if 1t were true. the
substitution of horses would only subject
the students to one transfer, while it
and ought to relieve them of two, and fur
departments.
why President Newbold should consider
chiefly the students, who have ample leis-
IRE, and the Sunday and excursion traveF
for mere recreation, and ignore the con-
venience of the working people, who sup
port the road is unexplained 1t is past
belief that the property of an entire sec
ton must continue to be deprecated fer
lack of comfortable transportation by the
rapacity and greed of Baltimore corpora
ton which has no interest in the pros
perity of Washington, and only regards the
city as a hitching post to which to fasten
one end of valuable franchise which s,all
fatten Itself and the city of Baltimore"

Lately great pigeon fight was organ
lied in France, the Eiffel tower being Sc
lected as the point of departure. The
pigeons were drawn not only from distant
parts of France, but also from Belgium
The time Of fight and the time or arrival
at home were duly noted, with certain in
teresting results regarding the rate of pro-
erosion. Thus, one pigeon flew 931a miles
at the rate of Al miles per hour This was
a high rate, and may be classified with a
flight of 264 miles at 43 miles an hour.
These rates are low when compared with
the records of previous flights. Thus, dis
lance of GOO miles has been covered by a
pigeon in twelve hours. From Blois to
Dion is a distance of 300 miles, and this
has been accomplished by pigeon in four
hours and forty-six minutes. Higher rates

they said next day. They were not to

q. Bettes, in the north end of the
town, on Second street. No water was
available, the tanks being too far dis

the occupants and goods. Mrs. Bettes
has been quite i'll lately and it was
feared that tins excitement might
prove fatal in her weak condition.
She was carried, with her little babe,
across the street TO Albert Jackson's,
where all the family found refuge.
Nearly all of the furniture was gotten
out excepting some things upstairs
and quantity of clothing. 1t was al
most miracle that the fire did not
spread with such a wind, the houses
being quite close together in that vicin'
ity. The loss is about $4,000 with nc
insurance, and was owned by Mr.. Bet.
