NICHOLAS II. IN PEACE.
Russia's Interests Are at This Time All
Opposed to War.

There is no safety in predicting any
turn in a game in which youthful
monarch of Russia holdsa strong hand,
but, though many rumors have been
running around about the new czar,
Nicholas X, there seems no probability
of his undertaking any inflamma bic
role, says Col. T. o. Dodge in the
Forum. Russia has SO much more to
gain in peace than war. Barely a third
of her army has the new small-bore
rifle, and it will be two years before
the other regiments are SO equipped.
Her revenues are none too great. Russia
needs her money for the great trans
Siberian railway, and she ought not to
blow it out of the mouths of big guns
No doubt there is tension in many of
the international relations, but that is
always present, and diplomats are
growing more reasonable. 1t is proba-
Bile that what has been said of the char
acter of Nicholas is in the main true;
and this should lead him to follow in
the footsteps of his illustrious father
and make Russia still the dictator of
peace.
No man will be rash enough to say
that war may not come. Every one OF
the continents has spots where an acct
dental outbreak, the blunder OF an
overzealous servant, may work such a
hardship, actual or ideal, to some great
power as shall cali for an excited de-
mand for rcparation. 1t is then that
cool heads, if not thick skins, are in
demand; and it is then that the e1fer-
veseenee of journalists in search oil
circulation or notoriety does most harm
The human animal, according te his
kind, is the silliest of all animals, if we
measure him rightly. l know of nc
other that is capable of sueh irrationa.
Freaks and it is on these that peace Oh
war hangs by a hair. But, to resume
| do not believe, despite all the talk
that there IS III the present status o.
the world set of conditions which viii
! lead to early war.

Ihey Would Have Been Beheaded Under

Ahey "ooid Have Been Beheaded Under
the Usual Custom.
The stipulation in the treaty of neace
between China and Japan that the
Chinese who have been captured by
the Japanese and others who sold sup
plies to the Japanese troops in their
march through Manchuria and Shant-
ung shall not be punished bv the
Chnese authorities, was inspired by
humane considerations. 1t is the Gus
tom OF China to behead such of her SOL
dlers as fall into the hands of the enc
my, and are afterward returned to their
country. During several naval and
land engagements upward of five
thousand Chinese troops were captured
by Japanese, and it is to preserve their
lives that the foregoing provision was
inserted in the treaty. The same con-
siderations influenced the other provi-
sion relative to the purchase of sup
plies from Chinese subjects. The curl
Gus fact develops in this connection
that China has not single prisoner OF
war belonging to Japan
The United Press dispatch, which
contained the exclusive announcement
that the indemnity of two hundred mil
lion taels will be paid in seven yearly
installments differs from official reports
previously received, which limited the
payment to five instead of seven INSTALL
ments. 1t is believed, however, that
the statement contained in the United
Press dispatch is correct. While no
definite information has been received
regarding the matter, it is understood
that the indemnity will take the form
OF bond issue on the part of China, the
bonds to be retired during period OF
seven years, and to bear interest at five
per cent. per annum. The presumption
is still very strong that the indemnity
will be paid in silver.
Until the beginning Of the war be.
tween China and Japan each country
had consular jurisdiction over it's sub
jects in the other country. 1t would
now appear that Japan will no longer
grant this privilege to China, although
STIMULATING for n continuance of this
right for herself The explanation
given for this exception is that Japar
is now civilized country, with code
of laws based on the highest prin
ciples of justice and equity, and thai
she can be safely trusted, therefore, t.
deal fairly with the Chinese subjects
living within her borders. China, OF
the Other hand, it is asserted, is still {
barbarous country, and foreigners there
must receive the protection of thei
own country since little, if any, will b,
afforded to them by the local authori
ties

lie is content to know that it is being
built and that it will be finished some
time before the day of general iudg-
ment, like the Opera Comique, which is
also slowly rising on its former site.
Ihe building of the Basilica has now
been so long in progress that it would
be almost relief to hear that those
who are organizing it's construction had
determined to take the scaffolding
away and to let the church stand as an
incomplete specimen of ecclesiastical
architecture, like the Cathedral of Col
ogne.
1t is useless to tell Parisians, as thew

it is stated that it will require many
months to complete it. The belfry will
not be ready until the year 1896. The
committee, down to July of last year,
had received 1854, 900 francs, or Ell.

opened in July, 1873, but in spite of the

Natures Lightning Rod.

M. Oovaroff, the Russian electrician of
Moscow, and Pror. Hischrt, govern
ment forest inspector of the same city,
have made some investigation concern
ing the liability to lightning stroke of
certain species of trees. In the sum
mers of 1898 and 1894, the two scientists
mentioned spent 100 days in the great
forests between Moscow and Remereff,
and during thattime found 597 trees that
had recently been struck by lightning.
OF the total number of marked trees
3o2 were found to be white poplar pop

fact that that species is not any ways
near as common as half dozen or doz-
en- other varieties. On Ooyaroff's sug'
gestion the government recommends
that the peasants use it as lightning
conductor.

MASS FOR HOMER.
The Cure CIeverly Turned the Tables on

HIS Jokers.
By order of the archbishop of Paris a
requiem mass in the nature of cere-
mony of reparation was celebrated
lately. 1t was fitting that this should
take place at st. Eustache, where the
coffin of Moliere should have been
taken after his death, as that was his
parish. The artists of the Coincide
Franchise, the Odeon and the Opera
were present.
The day following the Moliere mass,
two young testers fresh from the boule-
wards presented themselves gravely at
the sacristy of one Of the largest
churches and asked to see the cure. He
gave them audience.

1t Was Conducted on Humane and En-
lightened Principles.
Not until 1870 was there any attempt
at public education in England. And
not till 1875 was it possible for poor
people to send their children to school
without paying the common fee. In
the more remote towns there We're few
books; newspapers were seldom seen,
and even such simple object lessons as
menageries or museums never made an
appearance. The religious teachers
were barely able to read the Bible,
much less to give sensible explaLa-
ton of its mysteries. Fully three
fourths of the English people were I'M
able to read and write. The depth of
this ignorance of even the simplest af-
fairs of life is hardly appreciable in this
day and age of the world.
Illustrative of this is a story Of an
actual occurrence told by an old Corn
ishman:

How King Kalakaua Prevented POST

How King KaIakaua Prevented POST
Prandial Internal Disturbances.
The abdication of Queen Liluokalani
recalls an incident in which her pred
ecessor, King Kalakaua, figured when
he visited this country eleven or twelve
years ago. The Rambler, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser, does not
recall the exact date, but remembers
n Philadelphia at the Continental ho-
tel. Kalakaua was fond of the good
things of life, including all sorts and
descriptions of liquid refreshments. 1t
was his proud boast that he always
drank ''like gentleman" which, ac-
cording to his Interpretation, was the
power to consume vast quantities OF
champagne without affecting his men
tai powers or his equilibrium. And he
could do it; and SO could his private
secretary. They were in Philadelphia
for couple of weeks, and in that time
were wined and dined lavishly by the
best people in town. The king became
a sort of gastronomic mentor for. young
blades who wanted to emulate him,
and they thought they had learned
something wonderful when his majesty
confided to them the secret of his abil-
ity to dine well and show no after i'll
effects. He drank a teaspoonful OF
olive oil after each bottle of fzz. This,
he explained, caused the surface of the
wine to remain covered while in the
stomach and prevented the fumes OF
carbonic acid gas from going to the
brain.
Kalakaua was regarded with ex-
traordinary favor by the bon wants OF
the day, and would probably have
maintained his reputation as gentle
manly diner If it had not been for an
unlooked-for happening.

BLANCHE BATES TO WED.
Announcement From Butte, Montana, That
Is DiscFedited by the Young
L1dk's Mother

BUTTE. Mont, Jan. 81. - It is an
nounced here to-day that Frank Worthing.
the young English actor, and Miss
Blanche Bates, who during the past season
have been playing lovers parts in the
Frawley company, which closed an en-
gagement here last night, are engaged,
and that the marriage will take place soon
after the close Of the season.
Mrs. Bates of the Alcazar stock company
and the mother OF Miss Blanche Bates
when questioned last night as to the truth
of the reported engagement, said:
Il received letter from my daughter
yesterday and i 8 ,ained no word ,s aEy
such engagement She certainly spoke of
Mr.. Worthing, who has helped her con-
siderably in her studies and is charming
gentleman. They are close friends, but
nothing more.
II cannot imagine how the report
originated. Ny daughter was perfectly
free when she left this City, and if she
were engaged l feel sure L would be
among the first to hear of it. She has
assured me that it will be time for her to
think OF marriage when she has made q
position for herself, and not till then.
'She expects to go abroad as soon as the
present tour of the company is concluded,
and will visit friends and relatives in Lon
don." Mrs. Bates also denied another re-
port to the effect that her daughter and
Mr.. Frawley were engaged.
