Minister Ransom Has Been Loyalty
Serving His Country Gratuitously.


Washington, April 1.-THE Mexi'
can mission IL said to be Illegally
filled by ex-senator Ransom. The as
sertion il based on the following
clause of the constitutions:
Article |, section g, clause 2: No
senator or representative shall during
the time for which he was elected,
be appointed to any civil office under
the authority Of the United States
which shall have been created or
cmOluments whereof shall have been
increased during such time. .e
The salary OF the minister to Mex
leo was increased from $4,000 u year
to $17,5oO by II provision Of the 'diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill
that was passed in the second SEES
sion of the hfty-thrd congress. Sen
ator Ransom was then In the middle
Of the sixth year of the term that
expired on March t. lS9J and he
was. of course, not eligible ut the
time as his nomination was sent In dur
Ing the preceding week.
This will apparently ncccSSitntc the

GRESHAM ADVISED.

Washington, April l7.-Srcrctary
Gresham has received cablcglnn
from United States Minister Dun, ut
Toxic, confirming til" signing OF the
peace convention between China and

The terms agreed upon are In con
formty with those already published
by the associated press saving the
amount of indemnity, which was sub.

cover all Of Japan's war expenses. The
report that there viii be an alliance,
offensive and defensive, between Japan
and China, Is not credited In Japanese
circles where 1t IL believed to have not
been even suggested, On the other
hand some diplomatic bodies here are
inclined to believe that the alliance Is
really made.
There Is seen In this treaty by some
the realization Of the prophecy OF an
eminent scholar, recently made, that
these two nations would eventually

houses. This hope Of the coming Of the
Messiah is, so DR.. Mendes says, founded
ON the prophecy of Isaiah, which reads:
They shall bring all your brethren
ont of all the nations for an Offering
unto the Lord upon horses, and in char
lots, and in filters, and upon mules, and
upon swift beasts to my holy mountain
Jerusalem, saith the Lord"
'Swift beasts" it is said, is not the
correct translation, but 'swaying fur
naoes," which gives good idea Of the
Joppa locomotive when the track needs
little ballasting. Jerusalem, it seems
to me, holds a higher and more ideal
istic place in the minds of those who
have not been there. Too much free dis
ing on for some years past, and now it
has become sort of museum of events
over which there is much discussion
also To an American who loves to see
thrift, progress and industry the town
and its surroundings seem the very es.
sence of dirt and dolessness. The pic
kled olive groves seem to be doing well,
and the celebrated camel, the original
and pioneer discoverer of the great idea
that he could drink or let it alone, seems
to flourish here, and it is just as well to
be about IS feet away while he is do
ing his fourishing.
There are other ways Of reaching Je-
rusalem besides the Joppa route, if one
desires to extend his vacation. For in
stance, he may land at Cape Town and
go through the dark continent on safe
ty, crossing the desert by means of a
milk camel, or he may start from the
Chinese coast and travel west as far as
his vital organs hold out, but the Joppa
route is the more direct, though the off,

road issue no passes, l find.
Hence l need hardly add that the
roadbed is in frightful condition and

Your penmanship, to which you al

Literary and Musical.

His hair was long and flowing, and it
would have been difficult to say whether
he was poet or musician at first blush
After blushing several times, however,
the casual observer would have about
concluded from the air about him that
he was a musician. Somehow the air
is more distinctly defined in music than
it is in poetry anyhow.
The young woman in the case was
clearly literary. Her hair was in a slump
and her cuffs looked as if they ought to
have the hose turned on them.
''Have you" she asked after they
had been talking some time. "have you
