Switzerland are not deferred by any
qualms, and turn out various qualities
in large quantities. Ecru is liked, now
paler, then darker.
Ireland is getting up qualities lilss
packing linen, strewn over with cheviot
hairs. The weaves are light weight anil
adapted for summer. In exterior thes

but the ecru linen color is predominant
in all combinations.

popularity that is observed taba

A Worm That Chew. Iron.

A few years ago the engineers en-
ployed on the railway at Hagan, in
Germany, were puzzled by accidents
which always occurred at the same
place. The government sent a COM
mission to the spot. 1t was not
however, until six months had
elapsed that the surface of the rails
appeared to be corroded as if by acid
to the extent of over 100 yards. The
rail was taken up and broken, when
it was found to be literally honey
combed by a thin, threadlike gray
worm. The worm was about two
oentimeters in length and about the
size of small knitting needle. On
the head are two little sacs or glands
filed with most powerful corrosive
secretion, which is elected every ten
minutes when the insect is lying
undisturbed. This liquid, when
squirted upon iron, renders tnat
metal soft and spongy and of the
color of rust, when it is easily and
greedily eaten by the little insect

Yes" said Mr.. Parker. II had merely
but since then I have gone through Il
with considerable care. 1t seems to me
that Mr.. Bryan has devoted himself largely
to an attempt to explain away the real in
tent Of the convention that nominated him
at Chicago. and to ignore the ideas of that
other convention which paid him similar
honor at st. Louis
MIR. Bryan processes to tell what he will
do and what he will not do in case of his
election, but 1 think that no sensible citi-
zen will place much faith in his asser-
tfons OF this character. 1t does not stand
10 reason that q man who is the creature
or a body which chose him as its leader
In moment of frenzied hysteria could pre-
vent the same crowd from carrying out its
rather revolutionary ideas on national poll

Is following Mr.. Bryan will be sure to de-

Out ne would be more than human IL in the
event OF his election. he could withstand the
oemanos OF his fanatical followers, who are
aneaoy PROOF against listening to the calm

A Startling Storyof Peril to Ii Hung
Chang.
he Is THREATENED With DISGRACE
Powerful Intrigues Said to Be at
Work Against Him.
HIS STAY HERE TO BE SHORT

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. August H.-Li
Hung Chang is threatened with deposition,
if not death. A few days ago the tele-
graph conveyed the information that the
diplomat had found it an urgent necessity
to cut snort his American tour. The mes
sage also said this was mainly due to The
reason that he had been advised of threat
ening political intrigues at home. and that
after a short stay in Washington he would
hurry home via Victoria. That Ii Hung
Chang should avoid San Francisco. the
eastern Mecca Of his race. seemed strange,
but may now be explained.
For several days the dead walls of China
town have been Illuminated with bright
posters proclaiming the purposes of a new
society. known as Hing Chung Woey,"
and calling upon all patriotic Cinnamon to
acquaint themselves with the principles of
the new order and lend 1t their moral
physical and financial support. The cir
c'Ilar complains in the bittarest terms of
the influences brought to bear upon the
emperor by corrupt officials. and special
reference is made to the viceroy. He Is
charged with traitorous conduct in con-
nection with the late war with Japln.
Members of the LEGAL Chinese colony en-
tertain bitter hatred for Lii Hung Chang
The present political movement has in
creased this hatred, and those who pretend
TO know the state Of affairs in ChnIt own
declare the viceroy would certainly be
killed il he came here. Ii is believed that
Lii Hung Chang has been fully advised of
this fact and intends to avoid San Francis
co for this reason.

JAPANESE ASPIRATIONS.
Aiming to RINK With Leading Manu-
featuring Nations.

SAN FRANCISCO. August 1.-THE
steamship Copt:c brings news that the
Japanese are aspiring not only to catch up
with the leading nations of the world in
manufacturing industries. but to excel all
the rest of the world in the production Of
engines for naval warfare. About the
time the Copt.c left Yokohama it was re-
ported from good sources in naval circles
that plans had been submitted 10 the al
niralty for the building of a tlotilla CT
small gunboats to develop the eNtraor-
dirary speed of forty knots an hour.
The vessels are to be driven and lighted
by electricity, the twin screw propellers to
be placed not right aft. but only a little
abaft nidships. The boats are to be wholly
or partially submerged, and to make this
process easy they will be little more than
mere huiS. devoid of outwork of any kind.
1t is believed the new class of war vessels
will le designed entirely as an attempt to
erlbody the principle which has been advo-
Gated by so many naval experts OF putting
into d small compass with extraordinary
speed. fighting power which may cope with
really big warships. Whether or not the
japanese navy department has reason to
feel assured that 1t has advanced beyond
Mere experiment in this direction it is not
known.
