Russia has appointed as ambassador
to the United States a noted man
Count Cassini. He will be a diplomatic
lion in Washington. He it was who
served Russia in China for many years
and secured for his country her great
advantages there. He negotiated the
celebrated treaty of 1896 under which
Russia is now making her formal move
ment in China, and that is developing
to have more twists and turns and
wonderful concessions, than ever dis
tinguished any other great convention
between nations. The Count proved a
match for Ii Hung Chang, and COM
PEELED that venerable and astute Chi
nese statesman to accede to demands
heretofore thought impossible. He
worked his way into the favor of the
Dowager Empress, and thus gained an
influence in China no other foreigner
has attained there. He was so sue
cessful that he got to the ear of the
Emperor himself. and brought him to
consent to the treaty referred to. There

Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roose-
welt has administered a singing rebuke
TO saffron journalism. One of that
order of papers in New York has been
publishing alleged interviews with Mr..
Roosevelt. and putting astounding
statements into his mouth that he
never made. Among these was a full
some puff of the sheet. Mr.. Roosevelt
has sent to the paper a withering let
ter in which he characterizes it as it
deserves, saying that it's stories of
what he has said are lies, made out Of
whole cloth; that he has had no inter-
view with the reporters Of the sheet;
that he absolutely refused to be inter-
rogated by them, and told them dis
tinctly that he would say nothing to
them whatever for publication. AS for
commencing the paper, he declares he
gives no certificate of character to the
sheet in question. The paper sent him
letter in reply, trusting that he would
not give it the lie. But he does, say
ing: THE statement in to-day's Jour
nal was an absolute falsehood. I told
your reporter not once, but again and
again, as he was persistent, that Iwould
not give him an interview of any kind.
His conduct was infamous, and you
such interview could possibly have
come from me, if for no other reason
than that I have never given a certifi-
cate of character to the Journal
You say that you trust you
will not have to change your opinion of
me- l can imagine nothing which
would be of less consequence to me-.
This withering rebuke is given on the
authority of the New York Herald" !"
We can we'll believe it, because the
known. They send a reporter to an Of
ficial or person whose expression would
carry weight, and demand that he or
she shall talk The party refuses, as
did Secretary Roosevelt. The reporter
knows that it means discharge If he re-
turns to the Office without an inter
view. He accordingly manufactures
one. Or, If he does return and report
failure. he is instructed to make a
story out Of the attempt or take the
consequences, and the paper prints
what the fellow writes, regardless of its
verify, and with full knowledge that
what it is giving forth is false. And
such is yellow journalism of the day
Society will not always submit to the
inf1iction. There will come a day when
restraint will be put upon these sheets,
and they will be forbidden under pen
atty to use the names of men and
women unwarrantedly Mr.. Secretary
Roosevelt has done distinct service to
decency by his burning denunciation of
the sheet that made him, as a Secre-
tary Of War, say so astounding things:
things which, had he uttered. would
have proved him unfit for the position
he holds.

1t is not unlikely that there is truth
in the dispatch announcing an uprising
in Porto Rico. If it is true, Spain has
no one to blame but herself. Her
course in Cuba has been of a character
to stir the Porto Rico population, since
they are, as a mass, friendly to the
Cuban insurgents. They are much of
the same class of people, and their in
terests against Spain are the same.
The monarchy has milked the one quite
as much as the other. If there is an
outbreak in Porto Rico it will not prove
very formidable, however. The terri
tory is small, and the people will not
have the refuge from Spanish soldiery
that is assured the Cubans, whose re-
treats in the eastern end of the island
are simply impossible of penetration
by Spanish troops such as are now sent
out against the insurgents.

The proposition to bring about
peace in Cuba by dividing the island
between Spain and the Cubans is abb
surd. 1t would give all the pie to Spain
and the platter to the Cubans Be
sides, if Spain has any right left
worth settling. it is worth fighting for
with the acceptance of the arbitrament
of war. Beg pardon-Spain denies that
any war is in progress in Cuba. Most
people suppose that there is, but as
Spanish diplomatists deny it there must
be some mistake somewhere.

The fact that the railroad earninSs in
this country are improving steadily
proves that the business of the coun-
try is upon a more stable foundation of
confidence than for some years pre-
ceding the present one. and that there
is far freer movement of money and
goods and travellers. The gain in earn
ings for December. 1897, was ,ery
marked over the same month in 1896.

There is every reason to believe that
within a few days from this date the
report of the Maine Board of Inquiry
will be submitted, but until it is given

Willie unwise to give any credence to
reports as to what it's findings are. A
board that has so sedulously preserved
silence to this time, can be trusted
to keep it's lips sealed until there is Of
fetal permission given to speak. We
say that within a few days the report
will be submitted; this conclusion is
reached because of a number Of evil

transfer that province at some early
day TO Russian control wholly. Rus
sia sends this, her most trusted SER
want, to u.s. and it may be that it has
laid out for him a mission here of grave
Importance. Certainly it is significant
that such a man. who was SO long at
the court of Pekin, should now come
to the United States. If there has ever
been a thought of involving our coun-
try in the affairs Of the East, the
movers in that direction will now have
to deal with man who understands
himself and the questions to arise, if
any, better than any other in or out of
the United States. We will now very
soon know just what the policy of Rus
sia in China is, for to this hour none
have been able to explicitly figure out
what it is. When it is declared we
will understand how it is to affect us
commercially, and not until then.
People with the sweet tooth" will
be gratified to learn that they have
friend at court. They have always here
tofore been rebuked for using SO much
sugar and warned-and wisely-aga;rst
kidney troubles for one thing. But as
suming that it does not mean excess Of
sugar eating, here comes a report show
ing that sugar is necessary for the man
who is called upon to do muscular
labor. The London Mechanic" says:
1t is a fact well known to Alpine
tourists that on difficult climbing eXCur-
sions an increased desire is felt for the
consumption of sweets and sweetaned
food, and many who never touch sucn
things at home devour large quantities
of them on these tours. It is also ire
quently remarked how eagerly the
guides appropriate any sugar that may
be left over and consume it Ell route.
At the instigation of the Prussian war
office Investigations have recently heen
made, by means of special apparatus,
into the question whether the consump-
ton of small quantities of sugar rem
dered the tired muscles capable Of re-
neWed eXertion. In order to obtain a
practical result. the person who was
made the subject of the experiment was
kept totally ignorant of the object OF
the experimenters. One day a sweet
liquid was administered containing
thirty grams Of sugar, and on the next
day a similar liquid containing a suf-
ficient amount of saccharin to render it
indistinguishable from the other as re-
garded taste. When very large amount
of muscular work had been performed,
it was found that a greater quantity
OF work could be got through on the
days when sugar was given than on the
days when saccharin was given. The
system had become very poor in sugar,
in consequence of the severe muscular
effort which had previously been gone
through, and hence the administration
of a comparatively small quantity of
sugar had the effect of producing an in
creased caDabiIity for work

Many inventions have been considered
by the Bureau of Equipment One is a
system perfected in Italy, whereby a.
passing vessel may telegraph, without
wires and through no other medium
than sea water, to a station on shore
from distance of six miles. This is
phenomenal so far as it goes, but such
a system cannot be adopted until it can
reach still greater distances An inter
esting American invention is a system
for signaling by sound between yes
sells or between a vessel and shore. The
transmitting vessel makes sounds in

of water rather than air or steam. This
sound may be heard for great distances
under water by means of hydro

marily of a sensitive diaphragm of nom
corrosive metal, whose vibrations are
communicated to the ears of the re-
ceiver through tubes.
