Notwithstanding their admonitiOn he
pleaded so earnestly for this boon that
Count Ito and Niscount Mutsu finally con-
sented to name certain conditions upon
which temporary suspension of military
movements might be granted. These con-
ditions were that Taku forts should be i'm
mediately occupied by Japanese force
and control of the railway from Shan-hai-
kwan and Tientsin surrendered.

of this part of the business into his own
hands. He summoned Count Ito to an
audience and announced his resolve to
voluntarily concede the armistice without
imposing conditions of any kind, in order
to show his consciousness OF the annoy
anee and embarrassment suffered by the
ambassador in consequence of the delay
in negotiations. Viscount Mutsu was in

sion, and on the afternoon of March % re-
quested Lord Ii, the ENJOYS son, to come

To Hear the Telephone,

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette,
Manager Fowler of the telephone ex--
change, Ashland, KY, has devised an in
genious attachment for telephones to be
used In factories and shops where the
amount of noise makes it almost impossible
to hear the call bell of the instrument.
1t consists of a steam whistle, which is
turred on by means of lever operated by
magnetism. When the instrument is called
from the exchange the bell rings as usual.
and,by the electric current passing through
a magnet, weight is released which pulls
the lever to the whistle. Once started, the
whistle keeps up its shriIl note until some
one answers the call and turns off the
steam, which is done by simply replacing
the weight. One of these attachments is
being placed at the local steel plant, an
other at the tannery, and several more will
probably be installed in sawmilis and sim
liar establishments.
