Cession OF the Island TO Japanese Creates
Serious Situation,

London, May "a Honk Kong dis
patch to the Times states that the gov
ernor OF Formosa says the cession of
that island to the Japanese will produce
a rebellion. He declares that he has
lost all control of his soldiers, and that
the foreigners must save themselves.
The leader of the Black Flags has ap-
pealed to his men to carry out his orig
inal orders to prevent the Japanese from
landing on the island. Written placards
have been posted in conspicuous places
and are circulating among the people
calling upon them to resist the Japanese,
and saying that If the island is to be
coded to any nation they prefer it should
be given to Great Britain

OVER sIXTY-THREE THOUSAND.
At Least that will be Greeuhalge's Plural
ity in Massachusetts.

Boston. Mass. Nov. 6-The smoke of
the political battle has cleared away
and tonight leaders of both parties are
discussing the result, and from il are
already forming plans for next years
work
The Republican leaders are particu-
larry pleased over the gains of Cover
nor Greehalge in this city, for they
claim it shows that slowly but surely
the people are coming over to their rank
that they attach no significance what
ever TO the decreased Democratic plu-
rality in the city other than that their
candidate was not personally as popu-
lar as Russell. the candidate of 1894.
and for proof OF their assertion point
to the fact that the Democrats gained
senator in Suffolk county, which is
practically Boston.
The figures of the Associa ted Press
last night placed the plurality conser-
vatively at little over Sc. 900 and all of
the returns have justified that esti-
mate. The size of the Populist vote
IN Massachusetts will probably be
known tomorrow. There are indica-
tons that there is a falling Off f. Ger
ry Brown, the candidate for governor
got about 500 votes in Boston. while
last year the candidate got over LOO
in Lynn.
The question of woman suffrage has
been lost sight of, except by those di-
rectly interested. but the suffragi
claim that they are encouraged. as the
vote against them was smaller than
that anticipated.

threatens can only sbe realized by .
careful study Of the situation.
In times of war the only source from
which we could recruit our navy would

The exhibition at Tashkend in 1891
included department of the chase. in
which the most distinguished falcon
teams of Turkistan figured prominent
ly. The khan of Khiva was an ex-
hibitor and was represented by his best
birds and his most skillful falconers.
Instead of ailotting the prizes, accord
ing TO the most usual plan, to the best
looking birds, matches were Instituted

peting birds was determined by the
test of what they could do. l had an
opportunity on this occasion to make
a thorough study of the technical de-
tails of a sport which / had already
practiced under different circum-
stances.
Such large birds as the eagle are
trained for falconry in Turkistsn. and
are used for the capture ot foxes, ga
zelles, antelopes, and even, il is said,
deer. They are so heavy that the fall
coner is not able to carry them on mis-
arm alone, and has 10 support IL on a
wooden prop, the base of which is at
tached to his saddle.
According to the Arabian traditions.
the training of the falcon to hunt was
first accomplished by an inha bitant Of
Mosul; but the training OF the eagle
has been prscticed BY the Chinese and
the Mongols from an antiquity mech
more remote than the Arabian period.
and falconry was probably introduced
:nto Turkistan from the north OF
China, and then into Persia, perhaps
by some Hunnish people

quently was. He was apt to forget to-
day what he did with hero or heroine
yesterday. To help his memory, says u
Paris letter to the Boston Transcript,
he at first noted down briefly in copy
books what happened 10 his men and
women, but finding that often he could
not read his own writing, he invented a
new system. He procured little leaden
figures on which he gummed the names
of his characters as they were born.
Surprising there were three stories run
ming, there were three sets of figures in
different drawers. When a character
was settled off. the little man or woman
in lead was taken away from its COM
panions and laid aside.
One day when Ponson du Terrail was
all behind in his work, he set himself
TO his task without examining the slain.
His bad memory led him into a terrible
blunder. He had forgotten that he had
killed Rocambole-the still famous Ro-
cambole-in the previous feuilleton,
and, to the great surprise of the reader,
he made him talk again as II nothing
