DANGEROUS SYMPTOMS.
Englishmen Growing Angry with
Salisbury's Government for It's


Indication of Trouble Ahead.
LONDON, August 13.-The morning
papers express the growing indigna-
ton Of the country at the position
of affairs in China.
The Daily Graphic says; "If this
state of things continues, the guns
will go of OF themselves"
The Shanghai correspondent Of
the Daily Mail, who processes to
divulge the terms of long-existing
treaty between China and Russia,
says: "It is nothing less than an
offensive alliance. China under
takes to regard Russia as having
preponderate influence on all ques-
tions of commercial and internal
policies, while Russia will support
China against all 'open-door' de-
mands.
Russia finances China in internal
developments and China grants
Russia preferential rates in certain
areas, and railways built in the
joint interests of the two countries
will be under Russia's practical con-
troll. Russia will assist China in
developing her military and naval
forces and China will CO operate
with Russia as an ally.
This treaty has been in ale 4nce
since Lii Hung Chang visited the
Gar That it has become operative
at the present moment in respect to
the Pekipg- Hankow and New h aug
contracts is significant"
If the Daily Mails version may be
trusted, it will explain much that
has been hitherto inexplicable in the
development Of the question. The
manager of the Hongkong and
Shanghai Bank in London, in the
course of an interview yeate rday,
said: 81 believe the Peking. Aankow
line, owing to natural distractions
and its costliness, will never be built,
Russia merely wishing to keep Eng
land out"
The French press CONNECTS glee-
fully upon the situation aud the
newspapers at Berlin and Vienna
are at no pains to hide their satisfac.
tion at the discontinue of England.
The Continental press regards the
project Of an Anglo-Americau ALI
ance as chimerical. These consider
that the United States has had
enough OF war for the present and
will not care to give Great Britain
anything more than moral support
in China. Therefore, they argue,
England is not likely to pick a quar-
rel with Russia, but will content
herself with seeking compensation
elsewhere.
A special dispatch from Shanghai
says: 1.-THE Russian agents are
again intriguing to obtain control
of the Chinese Maritime Customs
Department"
The Peking correspondent OF the
Times, telegraphing with reference
to the Peking- Hankow contract,
says: "The rebuff is all the more
serious because the Tsung-li Yamen
gave assurances that the decree con
irming the contract would not be
issued until after a further con-
ference with Sir Claude Macdonald,
the British Minister"
The Chronicle, in an editorial
which reflects the general opinion of
the London morning papers, com.
ments ON the fact that the Marquis
of Salisbury and all the responsible
officials are leaving London at such
critical moment. 1t says: "The
curtain is deliberately dropping
upon a scene OF national humilia-
ton and national Indignation"

"Mate?" repeated tea dealer
awhile ago. "Never heard of it. What
is it?"
"a tea grown in South America, and
it is drunk more than Chinese tea by
those people, was the answer of the
man who had asked for the article.
This conversation was repeated in
dozen Offices, till at last, concluding
that the tea trade knew nothing OF it,
the man betook himself to the Uruguay
consulate. \ man was found there who
for wears had resided in the Parana
region, and who, when told OF the quest,
laughed and, pulling little bag from
under q table, said: II am not sur
prised. / guess this bag represents
the sum total of mate in this part OF the
CITY. There is no trade in it, for only
few people who have lived in South
America and have become attached to
the tea buy small quantities for their
own use."
He opened the bag. Iteontained per-
haps 20 pounds of leaves, ground coarse.
of dead-green color, having no percep-
tibIe smell AMI of a slightly bitter taste.
" got this" he went on. partly for my
self and partly to send to the Atlanta
exposition. And, you know, we cannot
infrse the tea as we do Chinese; it must
be drunk boiling hot-not allowed to
stand-else i. becomes insipid. So we
have these cups and tubes" and he took
from his desk . wood shell cup like q
Rourd, holding scant half-pint, and .
tube about foot long. Mate costs shout

Its Elaborate Clothes Were Too Great .
Strain.
This interesting story OF the royal
layette reminds me of another story,
perhaps because it is SO very unlike.
Once there was little woman who lived
across the street, and, rs we are often
more or less the victim of the people
across the street.-the people who watch
our doings with their noses hattcned
against window panes or concealed be-
hind lace draperies-that little woman
now becomes my victim in this story.
She was 40 and newly married, and
baby had been to her an ideal since the
days when she played with dolls and
dressed them in fnery to eclipse all the
dolls in the town. recall the wonder
full layette prepared for this baby that
had been a lifelong ideal. Never until
the account of the royal Russian baby's
have I ever conceived of aught more
elaborate. The baby was somewhat OF
disappointment to the mother. It
was a pathetic, unhappy, intiamed,
scrawny-looking representative OF the
genus homo, and not at all the ideal
baby the mother had in her mind. But,
bless YOU, the mother love soon trans
formed it into an ideal, and made 1T the
possessor of infinite baby graces, and
then there were all it's clothes, lace crea-
tions ell tied in ribbons, and not an ar
ticle that was the least bit common
place. The trunk full of clothes was
the greatest comfort in the world to
that mother.
Every day she dressed the baby three
times, and tried on it's tiny finger rings,
and put on it's three o'clock locket every
afternoon. Every time that wretched
baby had on clean dress it grew more
limp and more listless. One day she
told one of the neighbors from across
the street that she anticipated taking
the baby to Ohio to see its grandmother
As this was said in the presence OF the
persecuted baby, / shall always think
that he reflected upon the number OF
times he would have to exhibit the lace
gowns, and then, as the easiest way out
the difficulty, he just laid down and
died.
When the neighbors from across the
street called TO express their sympathy
the heart-broken mother was SAT and
hopeless heap in the middle OF the floor
surrounded by that fateful layette. Al
she gathered up lace garment to dry
her tears, she sobbed aloud:
"And - to-think - we-were-
;nr-to - Ohio-only - next = weeA
and - now my - mother-wiii-
ee-its-clothes!"
And some way I thought that baby
heard.-N. Y. Recorder.
