this city Of Shan-hai-kuan, the gateway
between the Chinese provinces and the
Tartar territory. Some three miles
back from the shore OF the level plain
stands the small city of some seventy
thousand people. In the rear of tho
city rise the hills, their Jagged peaks
some fifteen hundred feet above the
Lowell OF the sea. Abrupt in their as
cent. barren in their appearance, with
out tree or grain, the rocks and yellow
soil present u dismal sight to the lover
OF nature. Above, however, move the
clear, blue clouds, beautiful and fair,
almost like Italian skies at times,
painted with the bright red of the set
ting sun, or the pale, light green or
lowering blackncss of a swiit-coming
storm. The earth repels, but the
heavens attru.t. As for man, he is a
%nonentity. The barrenness OF the re.
gion around has made povcrty-stricken
hamlets, and in turn a poverty-stricken
city.
AS in many cities, the most attractive
part will be some temple, with itslargc
courts shaded by some o'cr-spreading
tree and b~cttcr-built buildings and de-
sirablc or commanding location.

The General Does Not Look for War, tho

LYNCHBURG. VA. Dec ls.-Special.-

before the commission reports. and in
the meanwhile the pugnacious winds will
blow themselves out the angry waters

Suppose the angry waters do not sub
side. and war should follow. would you
go into the fght?" asked the reporter.
"Oh. | expect In that case | could not
resist drawing my cavalry sabre once
more and going in with the horse ma

TWO AMUSING FIGURES,
Thousands View tho Funny Fellows in A.
saks & Co.'s Window.

No less than five thousand people
stopped in front OF a. Saks & Co.'S. store
during the day yesterday TO get glimpse
OF the beautifully decorated windows.
The chief feature OF the eastern window
was a pair Of wax figures that sat upon
small barrels. They We're companion
figures, and as true TO life as anything
in the mechanical line seen here for
many a day Each was' dressed in
fancy style and the picture OF good
humor. One represented a clown, and
played a small accordion with a great
deal OF skill while the other treated
himself to an occasional bite OF cake.
at the same time wearing a smile that
would have done justice 10 a humorsst.
The expression of the eyes, the move
ments of the limbs, and the general bear
ing OF the figures were altogether nat
ural and amusing. The figures were
purchased by Mr.. Saks in Paris. and
are the workmanship Of an artist. Many
favorable comments were made about
this pair OF novelties.
BY the way, A. Saks & Co, with their
usual public-spirit. Will send out 10 the
Soldiers Home at ~ 30 o'clock to-day, and
bring in the veterans, 10 view the beau
tiful painting. After the storm, which
has attracted general attention here.

APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 49, Speaker Reed
will announce the House committees to-
morrow, provided the resolution for the
holiday recess from December 10Th 10
January 81 is concurred in by the Senate
but in case Of non-action on the resolu-
ton the announcement Of committees

iournment for the holidays
II is asserted tonight Mr.. Henderson. of
Iowa. will not be the chairman Of the APP
propriations Committee OF which he is the
senior Republican member.
II this report be true. and il Is apparent
~ well founded, there is little doubt that
the position will go again TO Mr.. Cannon.
Of Illinois, who held the Craftsmanship Of
the Fifty-first Congress.
IL is not unlikely that Speaker Reed,
in order 10 compensate Mr. Henderson for
his disappointment and to show his app
probation OF that gentleman's excellent
services. will place him upon the Commit
tee on Rules and bestow the chairmanship
Of good committee upon him.
Previous statements indicating that Mr..
Dingley. of Maine, will be the next chair
man Of the Committee on the Ways and
Means, and that Mr. Serene Payne, of
New York, will be placed second on that
committee. are repeated with so much
positivencss at to give assurance of SUBJ
stantial foundation.
The work IS practically completed. al
though changes may be made until the
moment of their announcement
Speaker Reed explained to-day that he
charged three chairmanships in the Fifty
first Congress while the list was being
read from the Clerks desk. and that the
haste with which the committees were
made up at this time might result sim
ilarly.
