STORY OF DE FOES LIFE.
Ono of tho Most Versatile and Catholic
Figures In English Literature.

Men regard with admiring wonder the
career Of Napoleon, Bismarck, n Glad
stone, an Agassiz or an Edison, but they
do not seem TO realize what can bo done by
concentrated and persistent human will,
power and energy.
A recently published biography Of Dan
lei De Foe Is the story Of the life of q man
who made his mark rs a merchant, man
ufacturcr, traveller, politician, polcmic,
journalist, poet, satirist and novelist. This
rcstlcssly active and energetic mortal left
more than 900 printed works, and two OF
them, by common consent, are master
pieces Of literature that will last rs long

According to his own statement, DE Foe

A SOCIAL ARRAIGNMENT.
Husband and Wife as Viewed by New
York society journal.

York society journal.
A writer I'm Vogue-a man, too. by the
way-sorves up the matter of family po-
liteness in tho following piquant fashion:
II Is not altogether Just, and yet there
Is unfortunately enough truth in 1t to make
Ii "A matter OF regret that such state of
things should exist. He says:
1.-THE obligation to be agreeable Is not
apparently classed among the 'oughts of
masculine behavior, the result being that,
as a sex, men lack graciousness of demean-
or. There are few women of any social
pretensions but recognize the importance
and desirabilty Of making themselves gem
orally agreeable, and however far they may
fall short OF being really entertaining
women at least make the effort to bo COM
panionable.
1.-THE most usual examples Of the un-
likeness of tho sexes in this regard is fur
nished by wives and husbands in their de-
meanor toward one another. Man does
not conceive IL TO be any part Of the hus-
bands duty to be entertaining TO his wife.
Ho may supply her with opportunities for
pleasant experienccs-the play, opera, hos
pitality, traeel-btft that ht, IL tttftier any
obligation tcmako himself companionable
or to respond TO his wifes efforts TO enter
tain him does not suggest itself TO the
masculine mind.
Nothing Is more common in all grades
of society than the spectacle of the husband
treating with rudeness of speech or gruff-
ness of manner the wife's effort at max
ing conversation in her endeavor to create
an atmosphere Of oomradeship. Public
convoyances, the theator and hotels offer
opportunities for many pathetic studies Of
the difference between the sexes In this re-
gard Tho wife essays few remarks, the
husband answers indifferentlp -er-n not at
all, thus discoAaging all conversational
attempts on her part.
He would greet with derisive laughter
the idea that he ought 10 try to entertain
his wife as lie wonld any acquaintance
man or woman, whom no might meet. IL
Is all traceablc TO tho masculine doctrine
that women were created for mans pleas
urc, and II is part of the very lorClly atti-
tude that man has maintained from time
immemorial until recently, when the ar
roganco Of man met its Waterloo in tho
self assertivenoss Of the new woman"

FLOOD OF SILVER.
Win Be Required to Settle China's
Debt to Japan
AMERICANS ASKED TO RAISE 1T,
Much Depends Upon the Ques.
ton of Security.

WASHINGTON, June 81. - Negotiations
have recently been oponed with view TO
having China secure from American capt
talists the amount of silver requisite TO
pay the Chinese war indemnity Of 200, ,0oo,-
900 taels TO Japan. The legations here are
Informed Of the general features of the
proposition.
AT the Chinese legation il was stated
that tho negotiations had not proceeded
through the minister, but through agents
In China of the American intere Is, and
that it was nor yet known what conclusion
had been reached. Should the negotia-
tions be oonsummated, il will make one
of the largest financial transactions of TO
cent years and more than double the
amount of the recent Morgan. Belmont
transaction with the United States.
The indemnity is payable in Chinese
taels, equal to the Mexican dollar, which 10
now worth about 50 cents in American
money. 1t is understood that the payments
will be made in silver bullion, the tael be-
Ing used only as a measure of the amount.
Under the terms Of the China-Japan
treaty, which have not heretofore been
stated, the payments are to be mado as
follows: Fifty million taels payable six
months from the ratification of the treaty,
6O,000,000 taels one year from that date
and the remaining 100, 600, 900 taels pay
able In six annual installments. The first
payment of 50,0O0, 900 taels falls due next
November, and the second paymentof the
same amount in May next.
The names of the Americans interested
In the negotiations could not be learned at
the Chinese or Japanese legations. 1t is
understood, however, that the return Of
John w. Foster, who is expected In few
weeks,
Will Bring Additional Particulars.
II American silver was used TO meet tho
indemnity, the amount would be equival.
ent to the silver coinage for two years
while the Sherman law was i'm operation
1t was reported some time ago that
China had raised the war indemnity in
Paris by securing the guaranty of Russia
and France. This has not been confirmed,
however, and tho loan has not yet been
made. IL Is for this reason that negotia-
tions have been opened TO have the loan
taken In the United States.
Chinese credit always stood high before
the war, and her bonds sold readily II is
not known what IL any, security she
would give In addition To the faith of the
government II has been suggested that
her customs receipts be given as guaran-
tee, but these amount 10 only $23 Oo0, 900
annually. Valuable railroad and other
internal concessions, it is said. may also
aid In raising the vast sum necessary to
indemnify Japan.
The present negotiations with Russia
md Franco refer merely to the extra in
demnity to be given, because Of the re-
nunciation Of the Liao- Tung peninsula by |
Japan, and do not refer to the main loan,
which the Americans wish TO secure.

UNSAFE QUARTERS.


Occupants Of the Massachusetts, -spitS,
Advised tn Move.
Boston, June 2l.-The state house COM
missioners yesterday submitted letter OF
warning 20 tho executive council for the
entire vacation Of the Bulfnch building.
The sdjutant general tho assistant SER
geant-atarms, the commissioners Of prov
inoe laws, the board Of registration, and
even the barber shop are invited to find
other quarters. The document was ad.
dressed to the governor and reads as fol
lows:
The state house construction commissioners
feel il to be their duty 20 call the attention Of
your excelJency and Of the honorable execu
tive council u the possible danger attending
the occupancy OF the front portion Of the state
house during the present summer. The exca
vations haye uncovered the rear walls at the
northwest corner. and preparations are max
ing for underpinning, which must be done foi
a depth OF rather more than l8 feet.
The wall at this point proves not to be o
solid wall but two wsiis OF brick 20 inches
apart, one Of eight inches and the other OF -four
inches in thickness. the intermediate space
being filled mp with gravel and sand, which
ooze out as the foundation is removed. This
wall has TO carry the Wei ght of the structure
above, including portion Of the weight OF the
dome.
Whether the wall is OF this character for any
considerable distance, or becomes more sub.
stantial, has not yet been ascertained, but IL is
evident that the process OF excavating and
underpinring must be attended with more or
less danger TO the wall above and the safety of
the building.
We would add that the interior brick walls
so far as they have been examined by our
superintendent are without proper foundation,
resting directly upon the ground a few inches
only below the basement floors.
We beg, therefore, to submit TO your excel.
lency that proper regard for the safety OF the
occupants requires that the bailding should be
entirely vacated until the changes in the rear
wall are entirely co,nuleted.

The Argument Ended.

On the converting of the supreme
court, June 10, at Salem, ]. r. Bryson
concluded his argument in behalf OF
the Oregon Pacific railroad, taking an
hour and half. Mr.. Bryson con
trasted the oft-guoted expression of At
torney Bronaugh, that "the Oregon
Pacific road is worthless, beinning in
a duck puddle and ending in snow
bank" with his present position. He
claimed that the only question now Is
that of adequacy of price. Following
Mr.. Bryson, George G, Bingham
spoke for quarter of an hour in be
half of the employees of the road. Ht
asked that, in case the sale be set aside
the cause Of his clients be given prior
ity over other claimants. In the
course of his remarks Mr.. Bingham
charged that all appellants were con
nected with the Hogg faction.
Volumes Of records in the Oregon
Pacific case were filed In the supreme
court, and its destiny left in the hands
of the court. 1t is hardly probable
that decision will he reached within
a month, and possibly a much Longer
time will be required.
The following order was entered in
the supreme court: Charles L. Wat
son, appellant, VS.. William Buckler et
al, respondents; ordered that the time
for serving and filing additional alb
stract by the respondent be further ex
tended ten days from June 20, 1895.
