THE LAST FROM CHINA.
HOWE, the Captured American, VIII BE
Severely Treated.

LONDON, February 26.-The Central
News agency's correspondent in Toxic
says the naval reports from Wei Hal
Wei mention eleven foreigners, who
were captured with the island forts sur
rendered by the Chinese. Ten OF them
swore to take no further part in the
present war. George HOWE. the Amer
lean who came to the East with scheme
to blow up Japanese vessels with sub
marine internal machines, has been de-
tanned aboard the Japanese flagship,
pending the decision of his fate. The
Japanese made a reservation as to
HOWE in the articles of capitulation.
They are inclined to treat him severely,
for he was let go on parole after his ar
rest aboard the city of Sydney yet lost
no time in breaking his word and plac-
in his services at the disposal Of the Chi
nese.
The Japanese marines, who were killed
in the early torpedo attacks on the Chi
nese fleet at Wei Hal Wei, were buried
with military honors.
The Japanese reports speak highly of
Admiral Ting and the orders which he
wrote just before his suicide to direct the
course of his officers in completing the
arrangements for the surrender.
The Central News correspondent in
Hal Cheng telegraphs under date of
February q, that Lieutenant-General
Katsura then reported the Chinese force,
which formerly held Ryan Wat Sa, had
retreated to New Chwang. The Chinese
forces at La Knng Tong and Sa Tai Su
were about 5000 strong and had some
twelve guns. At Kung Pein Tas the
Chinese had some 1000 men. The gar
risons at New Chwang and Wing Kow
seemed to have been decreased.
The Central News correspondent in
Picking says high officials there express
the hope that Ii Hung Changes appoint
ment to be peace envoy will be accept
able to Japan. He will have full power
to close the negotiations without refer
ring matters to Peking. The time and
place of the negotiations have not yet
been determined.

Athletic Club.
New YORK, February 26.-The recent
correspondence relating to the coming
international athletic games between
selected teams representing the New
York and the London Athletic Clubs
was made public to-day by secretary
Gulick, of the local organization. The
Englishmen agree to September q as
the date for the contests, as already
briefly told by cable, and give the per-
sonnet of their party, together with ex-
plantations and suggestions. The for
eign team will probably be composed of
the following gentlemen, with others:
G. A. Bradley, G. B. Fry, Il. Shaw, A.
r. Downer, F. G. Bredin, w. E.. Lut-
yens, f. S. Koran, r. Williams, w. j..
NJ. Barry and S. Ovenden.
Bradley, although already a duly
elected member of the London Athletic
Club, has but recently joined, and has
done so, it is said, expressly for this
competition. All the events are to be
governed by the customs, rules and
practice prevailing i'll this country, and
Mr. Holman, secretary OF the London
Athletic Club, is assured that nothing
prohibitive will be attempted.

THE THEATER HAT.
Comment Upon the Action of the Cali
fornia Legislature.


CHICAGO, February 25.-The Post has
the following editorial:
1.-The California legislature is the first
to put in form the rage of the matinee
man against the high theater hat. 1t
has passed law forbidding the wearing
of hats in places of public amusement
and providing for fine of $50 for its
violation.
What silly thing this California
law is. What puerile notion of their
position must these assemblymen enter
tain who fancy their duties comprehend
censorship over dress. In other times
and in other countries laws were serl-
ously enacted forbidding this class or
that from wearing boards, or allowing
their hair to grow long, or appearing in
public in certain colors, or DOMINIC
blouses of certain kind, or boots OF a.
certain length. But one would think
that Americans of this century had gone
beyond this sort of experimenting. Pos
sibly the action of the Californians was
tomfoolery which clownish legislators
have engaged in Of late, in which case it
is doubly reprehensible."

MAKING OF ARMOR PLATES.
The Indian Head Tests the Beginning
of Revolution.


New York, February 25.-The opin-
ion is generally expressed by naval ex-
perts in this city that the results of tests
made on the fourteen-inch armor plate
at Indian Head Thursday are only the
beginning of a revolution in the process
of making plates of this class. John 6.
A. Leishman, the president of the Car
negie Steel Company, came to New
York to-day in company with Mr.. Frick
to consult Mr.. Carnegie in reference to
the trial and future experiments IN this
process OF making plates. Mr.. Lelsh-
man in an interview said:
1T is perhaps little premature to
say that the entire process of making
armor plates will be revolutionized by
the extraordinary results of the tests
made at Indian Head Thursday, but it
is certain that a new field for develop
ment has suddenly been opened to us,
and it is impossible to say what results
may not be obtained after the series of
experiments suggested to us by the trial
have been made. One thing is very ev-
ident, and that is the making OF armor
plate is in its infancy, and it now seems
to have been reduced to a race between
the steel manufacturers in countries
building warships as to who will soonest
attain the highest perfection in the art
of producing the plates.
THE qualities of steel are so peculiar
that any change in the process OF han
ding it in its manufacture may lead to
great changes In the result. 1t might
be said that the manufacture of steel is
also in its infancy, so that armor plates
made of this material are susceptible of
great improvement. | cannot say that
the government will order all future
plates to be made by this process, but |
believe that Captain Sampson was very
avorablv impressed with the result at
Indian Head Thursday. OF course it is
not our place to urge the government to
adopt any particular process. 1t is our
place to make the plates and show what
they can stand. The plate that was
tested Thursday was not made Tor any
particular ship. 1t was a harveyized
plate seventeen inches in thickness,
which we had placed under the rollers
and reduced to fourteen inches. The
trouble with the surface hardening is
that it makes an uneven strain on the
plate, so that the shock of a projectile
striking it is not evenly distributed, and
makes the plate liable to crack. By
taking harveyized plate and heating it
over again and then putting it under
the rollers the whole mass is made more
even, and the strain OF shot striking it
is more evenly distributed"

Legislature of North Carolina.
RALEIGH, N. c., February 26.-There
is wide Misunderstanding over a So
called Douglass adjournment by the
general assembly OF North Carolina,
and in connection with 1t there have
been statements which do not present
the matter accurately. The actual facts
are as follows:
The day after the death of Frederick
Douglass a colored repres entative named
Crews offered a resolution providing
that the house adjourn at II noon as Ii
mark of respect to Mr.. Douglass. Mr..
Cruptor, Populst, offered an amend
ment to make the hour 2 O'Clock, which
was the regular hour for adjournment.
Speaker Walser ruled the amendment
and resolution both out of order, saying
that the house would not adjourn until
the business of the day was disposed of.
He then suggested that motion might
be made that when it did adjourn, it
would be as mark of respect. stand
ing vote on a motion to this effect was
taken and carried. The senate branch
of the legislature took no notice what
ever of the death of Douglass.

WASHINGTON, February 25.-Secretary
Gresham has decided he will make no
further effort to induce congress to pass
the bill appropriating $425,0OO to pay
the damages sustained by British seal
ing vessels seized by our naval ships and
revenue cutters in Behring Sea before
the making of the modus vlvendl. Ii
the bill fails now, then he will proceed
Immediately to draw up treaty Tor sub
mission to the senate creating an arbl-
tration committee to ad Just the claims.
The United States will have no other
course open than this, for we should be
dishonored among nations If we failed
to carry out the obligations imposed
upon us by our voluntary act in submit
ting the sealing question to the Paris
arbitration. The Paris arbitration trl-
bunal ruled out all claims for conse-
ouential damages, and allowed claims
only when the vessels had actually been
seized and where the crews had been
imprisoned. Even on this basis the
claims amount to nearly 81 600 900. Be-
sides there were about two-score OF men,
officers and crews of the seized vessels,
who suffered imprisonment, and their
claims were compromised by the agree
ment made by Mr.. Gresham. The sec
retary believes if all these claims are
submitted to committee Tor ADJUST
