same time he bound Tso to secresy, and
threatened that if he revealed the muir
der he would charge him with having
been an accomplice. Tso vowed that
not a syllable relating to it should pass
his lips, and then went off and report
ed the whole affair to the son of the
murdered man and the father of the
murderer. Horror-stricken, the father
laid the whole matter before the mag

then came the question of the sen

the national theory of HETEROGENEOUS,
held that the father should not be al
lowed to escape scot-free, as he had
proved himself incapable Of bringing
up his son in the way he should go, and
he expounded the law by saying that,
as in the case of wife who murders
her father or mother-in-law, the hus-
band should receive forty blows on
the execution ground, should then,
kneeling, be made to gaze on the inf1ic-
ton of the slow and lingering process
ON his Grant wife, and at it's close re-
ceive another forty blows SO in this
case the father should suffer like PEN
alties. To this, likewise, the Emperor
assented, and the gruesome scene was
enacted with the full letter Of the law.

There are 10000 bicycles in that city

Salary of Senators.

There is common impression in this
country that the salaries of the United
States Senators are larger than those
of the representatives. AS a matter
of fact the two classes are paid exact
~ the same-$5 goo a year each, with
allowance fer stationery and mileage.
There was formerly difference in the
salaries, the Senators being paid a per
diem for attendance, the amount being
somewhat greater than that of the
Representatives,. but many years ago
this difference was abolished Cabinet
Ministers receive $4,000 a year each,
and this fact is probably responsible
for the popular blunder, many persons
supposing that a Senator is paid as
much as a member of the Cabinet.

Daughters are, of course, postponed to
sons. There are certain personages IN
the succession to the throne who Would
obviously, from motives OF public pol

foreign nationality does not, of itself,
vitiate their right. Parliament could,
and in the case of the throne passing
to a foreign sovereign undoubtedly
would, bar the claim-save, perhaps, IN
the case Of the duke of Coburg.
Here are the6names of the first thirty
persons in the order of their succession
as it now stands: 1, Prince of Wales;

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2e.-A draft of tho com
pleted portions of tho first annual message Of
President Mckinley was read to the Cabinet to-
day, and It's discussion was tho principal busi-
ness Of the meeting. The message has been
practically completed, but the President wanted
TO get the views OF the Cabinet on certain
features to guide him In rcarranRing and chang
ing tho message.
Much Of the time was spent in exchanging
ideas about reciprocal tariff arrangements
with foreign countries. to enable the President
to ascertain the sentiment Of his official advis-
ers. This brought q mention of the reports that
Germany and other countries were threatening
to rctaliato against the United States, and In
time led to the consideration OF the ACCESSIBILITY
Of saying something in the message about the
application of tho export bounty retaliation sec
tion OF tho Tariff act. Germany pays al. export
bounty on certain sugars, and the Dinglcy
law imposes nm additional duty on these
sugars equal TO tho amount of the bounty, after
the Secretary Of the Treasury has formally de
clared the net extra amount to be paid. This
section OF the law was considered with refer
ence to Its bearing on retaliation by Gormany,
but IL is understood that no conclusion was
reached. or, at least. the President did not indi'
cate what course he would pursue In regard to
1T In his message.
