CARRIES HIS COFFIN
The earl travels, it is said, prepared for all
sorts Of emergencies, including the end of
his own life. When he left Pek;ng for
MOSCOW he took with him not only doctor
and seventy-nine other attendants, but
also 4 coffin ready to receive the BODY
OF a man of his rank, in case he should die
during his trip around the world. 1t is
OF the most elaborate Chinese workman
ship and is decorated profusely with gold
figures and clusters of precious stones.
The cost is placed at $65,OOO. Two OF
his followers have no other mission than to
take care OF this coffin. Whenever the
party stops long enough anywhere to take
apartments the coffin is placed on end in q
room next to the bedroom of the envoy.
All knowledge regarding the matter is
hearsay, however, as no European has ever
been allowed to look at it, The facts
given here have as authority publication
in Chinese newspaper soon after the
party started for Russia.
1t is not easy to find a formal biography
OF this great Chinamah. Three articles
have been recently written for ma gazines
which contain a good deal Of biographical
matter. One OF these is by ex-secretary
John W. Foster in the Century for Au-
gust; another. by Mr.. A. NJ Niche in the
Nineteenth Century. the wellknown Eng
lish quarterly. Mr.. Niche was for twenty
years a resident of China. and his account

Locomotives Now Have Numbers.

Locomotives Now Have Numbers.
Your fathers will remember when ID
was the custom for railroad mana gers as
each new locomotive was put on the road,
to give it a name. Just rs the rarlor cars
are now named These names were usually
after some of the officers of the road.
Gradually. however, this idea has been
givenup, and now locomotives have numbers
instead of Dames. The big 999 that many
Of you saw ut the Worlds Fair seemed
somehow more imposing with its triple
mines, than If it had been called the
Cliauncey Depcw or the New York, didn't
it? So used is this present generation to
numbers for locomotives that 1t would be
very odd now to see George Washington
or Syracuse on an engines cab. There is
no danger, either. Of numbers running out,
and suitable names would soon become
difficult to find. 1t is said that Mr.. Pull
man offered his daughter $500 il she
would give appropriate names to batch
Of new pnrlor cars which were Just COM
ing out Of the shops. and the young woman
found 1T very difficult to earn her money.

TO TAKE ITS WARDS
Canada Is Willing to Receive the
Wandering Cree Indians.
LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR
Commissioner Traiget of Eegina
communicates the Dominion
Government Eroposition-it
May Come to Pass.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, April S.-The Canadian gov
eminent has signified its willingness to
take care of its wards, the Cree Indi-
ans. who have infested Montana ever
since the Reil rebellion. Indian Com
missioner A. I. Traiget writes Cover
nor Richards from Regina that his gov
eminent will accept the Indians IL they
are brought to the boundary line be-
fore May /. The governor has referred
the matter to Secretary Olney, 1t being
of an international character. Com
missioner Traiget writes:
"Sir-With reference to the negotia-
tons which have recently been pend
ing between the United States federal
authorities and the government of the
dominion of Canada, relative to the re-
moval from the state of Montana of
certain refugee Cree Indians, who en-
tered the territory of that state during
and since the Canadian Northwest re-
bellion of 1885, l have the honor to in
form you that the dominion govern
ment, having decided to cooperate with
that of Washington in bringing about
this end, / have been instructed TO
place myself in communication with
you for this purpose.
ct should, therefore, be pleased to
learn whether your arrangements for
the delivery of these persons at the
International boundary will admit of
such being done not later than, say,
the 10th of May next, and at Cautts
Station, on the Great Falls & Canada
railway. / may say that II you can
secure their being brought to that
point by rail 1t will very greatly facili-
tate the transfer being effectively
made. as / would take them on imme-
diately by the same train to Leth-
bridge. a distance of 30 miles towards
the interior, thus minimizing the
chances of struggling parties breaking
away from the main body, and return
ing secretly to the south. We are de-
sirous of effecting the transfer at the
earliest possible date in order that they
may be distributed to their various re-
serves in time for agricultural opera
lions.
I'm conclusion / would invite your
attention to the fact that not few
of those who passed from this country
to your territory as Indians have, dur
| ing the interval, changed their status
by the legal process provided by the
laws of the Dominion governing the
discharge of half-breeds from our In
dian treaties. Many of these persons
| are now therefore not Indians in the
eve of the law, as, while residing
| abroad they applied for, through attor-
neys, and received from the Dominion
: government, certificates of termina'
| ton of their disabilities as treaty lndi-
ans These persons having now resid-
ed for 10 years, more or less, on Uni
ted States soil principally in Choteau
county, Montana, / believe). it is as
sumed that it is not the intention of the
| United States government to disturb
them / send under separate cover a
map which may be of service to you In
this connection"

GERMAN 3 METALLISM
The Agrarians Take the Lead In suppor
of the Monetary Proposition.

OF the Monetary proposition.
Washington, April S.-The parliament
tary movement. on In Germany, to-
wards bimetallism. is described in a re-
port to the state department by United
States Commercial Agent Moore at
Weimar. He says that on March IA,
the economic committee of the imperial
reichstag decided to bring in the follow
ing resolution: The reichstag shall de-
clare that international bimetallism
best answers the interests of Germany,
and requests the confederal govern
ments German states) to do all that Is
in their power in order to establish and
secure by international convention a
fixed proportion of value between silver
and gold"
Mr.. Moore explains that this econom-
ic committee is not a branch of the reg
ular organizations of the Imperial
reichstag, but a self constituted com
mittee with a permanent organization
committee, composed largely of agra
rians, and IL is in the ranks of this par
ty that bimetallism finds its support in
Germany. 1t is known, says Mr.. Moore,
that a corresponding proposition VIII be
submitted simultaneously in Paris ano
London. This movement has created
great attention afresh in Europe to the
monetary situation.

COUNCIL GOES ON RECORD
One More Resolution Passed to
Keep Even With the Ala
media Trustees.
Anxious TO Avoid Any Possible Mis-
understanding With the War
Depar tment.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL

QUO DIOdOWdyi Oepl. 10.
The City Council has gone on record in
the tidal canal matter. Several months
ago they were induced to sign memorial
to the War Department asking that the
tidal canal at the Alameda end of the es-
tuary be constructed first. They thought
no more of the matter until they heard
some weeks later that there was conflict
at Washington between the petitions to
which were appended the names of the
Oakland City Council.
An investigation was made, and it was
discovered that they had signed the Sec
ond petition, believing that it was along
the same lines as the first. They found
out their mistake and at once did all they
could to rectify it. The result was a pro-
cession of petiuon-bearers bound for
Washington that completely upset the
calculations of the War Department
Another commun ication was sent re-
Gently from the Alameda Board of Trus-
tees, and so that it should not score
point ahead OF Oakland the City Council
at its last meeting passed resolution de-
claring that 1t believes the best interests
of this city will be served by completing
the Oakland end of the harbor first.
A copy of the resolution was forwarded
TO the War Department to-day making
one more document to the large library
of correspondence on the subject that is
now with the War Department.
