EASTER Is An OLD FEAST.
The Chinese Had Spring Festival
$500 Years Ago

Few people have any idea that the
originals Of the many-colored eggs
which are now being distributed as
Easter gifts have probably descended
to us from the greatest OF the Chi
nese Spring Festivals" and can boast
of an antiquity of more than 700 years
before the Christian era
SO there appears to be no new thing
under the sun; and, although the mag
ic eggs of to-day are merely recepta-
ci2s for a noudeScript medley of bon
bOnS and bijOuterie. they are n surviv-
al of one of the quaintest of Old World
customs.
Ellis practical method of disposing Of
Easter eggs suggests that much OF the
ceremony connected with them is due
to the celebration of the Easter feast,
which succeeds the Lcntcn feast

Boston, Feb. 12.-The conference of mu-
tual accident companies of the United
States which assembled here to discuss
the bicycle rider as an accident risk has
finished its deliberations. The companies
have unanimously resolved that bicycling
is a hazardous occupation, which they
cannot insure against at the present rates

will pay double for his insurance or re-
ceiVe less indemnity, or give up cycling

cerned.
The following resolutions were unani-
mously passed:
Resolved, That the use of the bicycle
should be covered by additional cost or
reduction of death and indemnity bene-
fits; and it is recommended that this be
provided for by either of the following
methods:
The adequate increase of premiums to
cover the added risk, or the classifica-
ton as an occupation of bicycle riders
in class twice as hazardous as the pre-
ferred" risk.
That benefits by accidents by byclcle
riding be specifically reduced.

Washington, Feb. MISUNDERSTANDING
the veil Of secrecy with which the House
territories committee surrounded their
meeting this morning the fact Is known
that a vote was taken on the Arizona
statehood bill and that the measure was
defeated by vote of to 8. The six
gentlemen who voted In the opposition
were Messrs. Hadley OF Illinois, Knox OF
Massachusetts, Taft OF Ohio and Low OF
New York, republicans, and Harrison OF
Alabama and Owens OF Kentucky, demo-
Gratis.
The affirmative vote was cast by the
chairman, Mr.. Scranton Of Pennsylvania,
Messrs. Perkins OF Iowa, Avery of Michi-
gan, Turner of Virginia and Cooper OF
Texas. The absentees were Messrs. Har-
ris OF Ohio and Lefevre Of New York.
After some discussion, II was agreed
that II Messrs Harris and Lefevre united
ly desire a reconsideration of the vote
their request will be granted.
Ii is said that Mr.. Letevre Is satisfied
with the defeat OF the bill and will not
ask for a reconsideration. When seen to-
night he stated that he had not commit
say how he would vote. Nobody, he said,
had authority to state that he would not
ask for q reconsideration.
II is also stated that Mr.. Harris, had
he been present, would have opposed the
measure.
The significance of this vote will be bet
ter understood when II Is remembered
that the opposition to the admission OF
Arizona is based on the objection thai
the granting of statehood would increase
the number OF free silver advocates IN
the Senate, and this was the primary
cause of the defeat OF the bill. II Is

TROUBLES OF THE TRANsvAAL.

White Book on the Raid.

White Book on the Raid.
Berlin, Feb 12-The government has
Issued a white book containing the letters
which have passed between the govern
ment and Count Won Hatzefeldt, the Ger
man ambassador to Great Britain, on the
subject of the troubles In the Transvaal,
and also the kilograms sent by the en-
peror to President Kruger at Pretoria
The white book contains the first dis
patch sent by Freiherr Marschall Won
Bieberstein, minister of foreign affairs,
to Count Won Hatzefeldt, the German am
bassador to Great Britain, written in Feb
ruary, 1895. The letter refers TO remarks
made by the Earl of Kimberly, then Brit
ish foreign minister, in regard to Presi-
Germany in honor of that monarch 5
birthday. The German minister in this
communication declares that the material
interests of Germany require that the
TransVaal shall be maintained as an in
dependent state in accordance with the
terms of the treaty of 1884 and that the
status quo regarding the railways and the
harDor of Delgagoa Bay be upheld. DR..
Jameson's idea, he says, that Rhodesia
was to become a federation of all the
South African states antagonized the in
terests of Germany. To this Count Won
Hatzefeldt replied that Lord Salisbury had
expressed his concurrence with Germany
in her desire to maintain the status quo
of the Transvaal.
On Dec 80 last Emperor William receiv-
ed a telegram from the Germans of Pre-
toria beseeching German Intervention to
prevent bloodshed. Next day the Ger
man foreign minister wired the German
consul at Pretoria authorizing him in an
emergency after consulting President
Kruger to make requisition for a landing
party from the German warship See Adj
Ter, as long as might be necessary. The
Portuguese government was at the same
time informed that the permission Of
Portugal was relied upon to land a detach-
ment of German sailors at Delagoa Bay.
Jan. 1 Count Won Hatzefeldt informed his
government that he was impressed with
the belief that the British government
was greatly displeased at DR.. jameson 8
raid.
In conclusion the white book contains
a dispatch from the German foreign min
listers to the German ambassador at Lon
don, protesting against the attitude taken
by the British press IN assuming that the
was hostile to Great Britain or an infrac-
ton of British rights.
