Dispute Was Settled

Science has story to the effect that
on July 10, 1881, John Carrao, Sicil-
ian sea captain, sailing in the Mediter-
ranean, was amazed to see column of
water 500 feet in diameter spout up so
feet into the air. Soon afterward a
dense cloud of steam assembled to the
height of about 1900 feet. Eight days
later Carrao passed the spot again,
and found an island II feet high where
was previously 700 feet depth Of wa
ter At this time the island was eject
ing large quantities of vapor and vol
canic matter, and the sea in the neigh
borhood was covered with floating Gin
ders and dead fish. Two weeks more
and the island was 200 feet high, and
had a circumference of three miles.
Several names were given it by marin
ing people, and at last three nations
claimed it. Trouble was imminent,
when the island settled the dispute by
vanishing again. At present the place
is marked on the maps as a shoal, but
a shoal under many fathoms Of water.

War Against Bachelor.

NEW YORK, August 23.-Charlotte
Smith, president of the Woman's Res
cue League, called on the Central La
Dor Union to explain her new scheme
for compelling manageable bachelors
to marry. She said she was going to
Boston to start a campaign against the
Republican and Democratic candidates
for Mayor there, because both of them
are bachelors. She did not believe that
a bachelor ought to hold an elective Of
fee because no man could possibly act
on questions of public morality unless
he was married

EXPORTS DECREASED.

British Tinplate Manufacturer to
Move to United states.
The American Consul General, Os-
borne, at London, says in a New York
dispatch that the invoices of exports
filed in his office since the new United
States tariff became law have de-
creased 90 per cent. Only in the case
of diamonds and other jewels has there
been. an increase. A large business
has developed in jewelry, which here
tofore has mostly been smuggled into
the United States through Canada, no
consignment having been recorded for
a long time. Mr.. Osborne thinks the
dealers made up their minds that it is
more profitable to pay the lower Ding
lev rates than 10 incur the costs and
risks of smuggling.
The Consul-General hears that a
leading tin-plate manufacturer is go
ing to transfer his business to the Unit
ed States. on account of the tariff, and
that some wooden manufacturers are
going to do the same and for the same
cause.

New System for Sending Four Thous-
and Words Minute.
LONDON, August 21-Lieutenant
Squier of the Artillery School at Fort
ress Monroe, and Professor Crehore of
Dartmouth have made some remarka-
BILE demonstrations during the past
week of the possibilities of their syn
chronograph.
The Government telegraph officials
gave these men the use of the line, $50
miles long, making circuit through
London, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh,
Newcastle, York and other places, over
which the Americans succeeded in
transmitting short messages at a speed
equivalent to 1000 words per minute.
The messages were received with
perfect clearness. Forty-four miles of
the line were underground, thus adj
ding to the difficulty of the trial. The
highest rate attained by them in Am
eria was 5000 words per minute over
an iron wire Is miles long.
The inventors claim that the trials
demonstrate the possibility of sending
press messages between New York and
Chicago at such speed that the con-
tents of newspaper could be trans
mitted in an hour.

Ten Miles of Air.

The Chicago Chronicle says that the
curiosity of the modern man of sci
ence knows no bounds. One of his lat
est exploits is tapping and bringing
down to the ground, with the aid of an
autimatic apparatus attached to a bal
loon, specimens of the upper air from
the height of 10 miles. The apparatus
and the experiment were of French in
vention, and at a recent meeting of
the Academy of Sciences in Paris Mr..
Caillete reported the result of the an
alysis of the captured air. 1t simply
showed that at the height of $1,000
feet above sea level the composition of
the atmosphere is practically the same
as at the surface of the earth, although
its density, of course, is comparatively
slight.

RICH CONCESSIONS
Syndicate Granted Priv
i1eges in Honduras.
Railroad and Land Grants Made.
Duties to be Collected by
Corporation

WASHINGTON, August 23.-Consul
Jargonan OF Utillah, Honduras, has
sent TO the State Department report
upon an important concession by the
Honduras Government granted to the
Honduras Syndicate. This corporation
is composed, says the Consul. of we'll
known capitalists and fnanciers of the
United States, mostly located in New
York The syndicate has deposited
with the Government of Honduras $780,
900 in gold as guarantee that it will
carry out it's part of the concession.
The Honduras Government has noti-
fed all it's Collectors of Customs and
other officials that the increase of duty
authorized in April last, to take effect
August 1st, will not be collected, as
the concession provides that there shall
be no increase in the existing tariff
during she next five years without the
consent of the syndicate. This increase
was equal to double the present rates
on many articles, and was almost pro-
hibitive on others.
ton of all duties and pay Honduras a
stipulated sum in lieu of collections
The syndicate will liquidate the for
eign debt, which amounts to several
millions, within a given time and will
open offices in Europe for this purpose
The syndicate is authorized to con- |
struct and operate railroad from Pu-
erto CorteZ TO the Bay of Fonseca, on |
the Pacific Coast, with such branch |
lines as it may desire.
The Honduras Government comedies
to the syndicate the railroad and all it's
appurtenances, now being operated 80
miles or more out from Puerto CorteZ
the right of way to the Fonseca Bay
and a subsidy of 5000 acres of land for
each mile of road built and operated by
the syndicate, whether as main or
branch lines, the lands to be located
contiguous to the road and in alternate
sections, or at any point desired by the
syndicate
Consul Jargonan says that this gives
to the syndicate the most valuable
franchise that could be obtained in
Honduras. The syndicate, he says, has
the power to build a narrOw-gauge
road and operate it
for 90 years, and is not restricted as to
route. 1t is also given the right to {
organize and operate banks and con- l
duct a general banking business and to I
bring colonists, who, however, must
not be negroes.

A NEW WOMAN.
First Female Chinese Doctor in
United States.

The New York Press says that as fal
as her name conveys to the average
American, HUI King Eng might just as
well be man, but she isn't. HUI King
is a remarkably pretty maid from the
Celestial Empire, and more than that
she is the first woman of that heather
land to whom the degree of doctor OF
medicine has been granted.
DR.. HUI was born in Foochow, and in
her babyhood she had every oriental
luxury which a Celestial baby could
possibly cry for. Her grandfather was
a mandarin of power and wealth, who
late in his life became converted to
Christianity and brought his grand
child up in that faith.
When she was old enough little HUI
King was sent away to a boarding
school, but she never seemed to take
any interest in smuggling caramels,
going to matinees and other courses
which school girls take. Instead, she
prowled around in the dispensary con-
nected with the institution, learning all
she could about medicines and drugs.
So marked was her thirst for medical
lore that her father decided to make
a physician out of her.
After bitter opposition on the part of
all her relatives, who said they would
rather see her dead than a doctor, or
whatever the title is in Chinese, HUI
King came across the seas to this coun-
try. She matriculated at the Ohio Yves
leyan University and after four years
of hard, persevering work, was gradu-
ated with the degree Of master of arts.
From Ohio she went to Philadelphia,
where she took a three years course in
the Woman's Medical College and a
postgraduate course in the Philadel-
phia Polytechnic, from both of which in
situations she received degrees. Then
followed several months of practical
work in the Woman's Hospital in Bos-
ton, and DR.. HUI, fully equipped, as
sumed charge of the Siang-Hu Hospit-
al.
Her success has been remarkable.
One instance is related of a coolie
wheeling his blind mother 1000 miles
in a wheel barrow to consult the wo-
man doctor. A double cataract oper-
alton and the woman was made to see |
The only son of a wealthy mandarin
was dumb from his birth, and so of no
account-disqualified to worship be-
fore the names of his ancestors. The |
tied tongue was at once relieved, and |
the dumb was made to talk.
DR.. HUI King Eng is one of the dele |
gates to the Woman's Congress to be
held in London next year.

Head of the Government.

SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain, August 81.
General Azcarraga, the Premier and
Minister for War, has decided to con-
vene the Cortes in November. The
Premier announces that he is in accord
with General Weyler, the Captain-Gen-
eral of Cuba, but reserves the right to
make a further examination Of the Gu
ban question.
In conclusion, the Premier proclaims
himself as being the head Of the Gov
eminent, and not the leader of any
party.

TRADE WITH JAPAN.
The United States Dangerous
Competitor of Europe.

Competitor of Europe.
WASHINGTON, August 20. "A
statement prepared by the Treasury
Department shows that for the first
time in the history of the trade rela-
tons with Japan, the United States is
entitled to be considered as a serious
competitor with Europe. A recent Brit
ish report from the legation at Toxic
reviews the foreign trade of Japan
during the past year. In the supply of
machinery, rails, nails and pig-iron,
the United States assumed a. leading
place. The British report pointed out
that American railway builders were
likely to receive a great number of
orders during the year.
