Lucky Optimism.
London, January 2.-Most of
the newspapers in reviewing the
events of 1896, criticise the happy
go.lucky optimism Of Great Bri.
tain's foreign policy, as evidenced
by the little effect it produced dur
ing the numerous menacing
storms which have marked the
year. They cite that the Venez-
uela trouble was Immediately fol-
lowed by the Transvaal dispute,
and then came the insult of EN-
peror William in his dispatch to
President Kruger and the isola-
ton of Great Britain in the east
ern question.
The newspapers, therefore, in =
sist that the foreign policy Of
Great Britain is behind the times
and requires to take existing facts
considerably more into account, or
it may expect indefinite repeti-
tons of loss of prestige, brought
about by taking up stand which,
later, it is compelled to obandon
owing to miscalculations of Great
Dritain's meaus of asserting her
resistance to the opposition OF
other powers.
The st. James Gazette makes
special reference to Venezuela,
and says: "If it is right now to
arbitrate on the terms arranged
by the United States, it was right
to do 50 a year and u half ago,
when Lord Salisbury emphati
cally refused Secretary Olney's
demand"
Continuing, the st. James
Gazette asks why the marquis OF
Salisbury created "an impasse
from which we could not escape
without war or surrender. We
took surrender"
In conclusion, the st. James
! Gazette remarks: "With nc
aggression or ambitious designs
upon our part, we have been with
in a measurable distance in q
single year of war with Russia,
Germany, America and the
Transvaal. With few additional
warships and cruisers, some thou
sands more trained seameu and
stokers and an army capable of
sending three corps with artillery
and transport, say to Canada, or
Constantinople, we could face
such a combination with much
better confidence"

A BULLETIN representative re-
turning home from a social event
last night was halted by aguttural
salutation from a Chinaman in
the rear. Upon turning round he
was confronted by the Chinaman,
who extended what appeared to
be a large and glittering deadly
weapon. "Yis b'long your" was
asked instead of "Youl money
ri or you'll life!" The peaceful
scribe handled the proffered
weapon" and found it to be a
rotary eggbeater. 1t was brand
new, but, not having the ticket of
any dealer attached, was not
adaptable for free puff to any of
our advertisers. The Chinaman
was sent on his way rejoicing
with the assurance that he had
found something good alice same

had often cussed hard, doubtless,
while doing it with a spoon, he
had taken on a smile that was
childlike and bland when shown
how easy it was to turn the crank

the adoption of a universal time
for nayigators. AS he was one of

steamer Gloucester arrived from BostoI
about o'clock this morning after an ex
citing sixty miles run, with part OF hel
cargo ablazc.
The fire was first discovered about
O'Clock, when the ship was off Hog
Island. The smoke of burning excelsior
was detected in the cgine room, and the
flames were located in the hold, under
the forward hatchway, among bales Of
excel n and leather. They were blazing
fe cely an filling the hold with smoke.
Ordinary means were tried in vain,
and then Captain Howcs ordered steam
turned on the cargo. and had the ships
speed increased to her capacity.
There were thirty-onc passengers
aboard but such coonrss and caution
was shown by the captain and officers
that not one of them knew there was
anything the matter until they reached
Norfolk. 1t was found about s o'clock
that the fire was too stubborn to be
handled successfully by the crew, and
the Norfolk fire department was called.

large, as much leather and many cases
of shoes were ruined.

OF the phrase can only be appreciated by
the man who has been "a hours without

causes the man who is "on' to smile
softly and to glance at his watch, and if
percoance the hour is nearly midnight, to
stay his steps. In the waiting room of
the depot anxious glances are thrown at
the big clock and mutterpd comments on
the slowness with which the hands
move are frequently heard.

AT The BIJOU.
An Excellent Show There for the Next

The Wilmington public as a general
thing are very chary Of attending shows
at the Bijou. The class Of shows which
have in the past been foisted upon thea
tre-going people have shaken their faith
in the possibility OF seeing good show
within its walls. Can any good thing
come out of NAZARETH" is the general
tone of thought when first-class show
is mentioned in connection with the
pretty little playhouse on the Avenue.
But the former mismanagcment Of the
Bijou is dcfunct and new era is to

decided to run nothing but tirst-class

That this company will stand the test
is forcgone conclusion when the list OF

cal skit "On Board the Yacht Bohemia. y

the thousands who have witnessed the
magnificent performances concede that
this object has been accomplished and
that end attained. The specialties in
troduced are Of high order, and each
act is richly and gorgeously costumed
beyond comparison with any similar
organization. Such well known artists
as Van and Nobriga and their "komedy
Koons," Flo Jansen, the dashing, popu-
lar favorite; Jere Mahoney, the descrip-
tive vocalist; Martiere Sisters, duetists
and graceful dancers; Fields and Wooley,
the German ambassadors, ard W. h.
Smith, late Of the original Big /. The
concluding burlesque, the Bogus
Prince" which is suggested by the
Royalty hunters returning to America
from Victorias diamond jubilee, serves
to introduce the full strength of the
company in medleys, marches and popu-
lar songs
Another change will be, that the VIC
ious practice Of raising the price on a
really good show, will be discontinued
None but the best shows will secure en-
gagements and the prices will remain
absolutely fixed at the popular rates.

Drop Seat for Bjcy,.lc.

An inventive genius has patented a
bicycle with Il drop-scat arrangement, for
which he claims wondrouS things. As a
military wheel he says that it will prove
to be just the thing. while for women
riders it will enable women to ride a
diamond frame without the usual incon.
venicnccs and awkwardness
The upper part Of the top bar slants
decidedly toward the seat post in order
to allow the dropping and raising of the
post. When the seat is lowered the
rider can reach the saddle by simp' y
straddling the wheel. Then he puts his
weight upon the pedals, and, turning the
left ha4dle grip, he is shot up into the
air and can pedal off,
When he wishes to dismornt the han
die grip is turned and the seat drops al
Living the rider to dismonnt, or rather
push back from the wheel with his feet
on the ground. The wheel has been
shown to several prominent military
IN in the district, with the idea of hay
ing the machine adopted for military
use.
In a skirmish the soldier could allow
the seat post to drop, and then with his
feet on the ground he could fire at the
enemy. In case Of retreat he could turn
the magic grip and be off in the other di.
rcction in short order. There is also an
invisible plunger brake attached, which
can be worked from the right handle
