Obstacles to Chinese Progress.

From the Chinese standpoint Tsi An is
liberal and progressive, but she is so ig-
norant and secluded that it is difficult for
any foreign ideas to reach her. When
she sees something good she wants it,
but she has no conception of the condi-
ton of China compared with that of
other countries, and, of course, cannot
apply the remedies that are needed. If
she could understand the needs of the
people, if she could realize the advantages
of modern ideas and Improvements, she
would promptly adopt them. She does
not lack intelligence, but knowledge, and
has surrounded herself with advisers
who have never been outside of China
and are even more unenlightened as to
modern affairs. Contrary to the popular
impression, Ii Hung Chang has not been
restored to power. He doubtless retains
the friendly relations he has always en-
joyed with the Empress Dowager since
he suppressed the TAPPING rebellion, but
his name does not appear on the list of
the new ministry and he is not member
of the grand council nor of the Tsung Ii

woman at literary reception in Lon
don who said she had heard the Ameri-
can "hosier poet' read at Exeter hall.
"How curious that q hosier should be-
come your poet laureate in America!"
she said.
The Philistine did not know what
she meant, but followed the trail of her
chat until she said that her favorite
among the "hosier poets" poems was
"When the Frost Is on the Pumpkin"
and then he exclaimed that it was "Ri-
ley, the Hoosier poet.''
"Oh, you Americans have such q
queer way Of pronounoing things, said
the woman.
"Yes, but Mr.. Riley is not hosier,
he ISL began the Philistine.
But sho cut the explanation short

Report OF tho Sinking of the Steamer Con-
6rMed.
Boston, Nov. 3O.-A special to The
Herald from North Truro says the
steamer Portland of the Boston and
Portland Steamship company, plying
between Boston and Portland, Me-, was
totally wrecked at 10 o'clock Sunday
morning, off Highland Light, and the
entire crew and passengers perished
within a short distance of land. A large
quantity of wreckage, including trunks
and material, have come ashore, and at
dark "a bodies had been recovered from
the surf by the lifesaving crew at High
head station. One body was that of a
woman.
The news of the disaster was brought
to The Herald through the agency of a
special train, as communication to Bos-
ton by wire from points on Cape Cod is
impossible on account of the havoc
wrought by the storm.
The passenger list numbered 81 and
the officers and crew numbered 48.

MUSTER OUT VOLUNTEERS.
Thirty to Forty Thousand More Troop
VIII Now Get Dischnrced

Thirty to Forty Thousand More Troops
Will Now Get Discharged.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The war de-
partment, in view of the assurances
that a peace treaty would be signed, is
arranging to muster out more troops.
1t is probable that from 30, 1000 to 10000
volunteers will be mustered out as soon
as selections of regiments can be made.
There has been quite demand for the
return of volunteers from Manila, but
no troops will be brought from
the Philippines unless they are
replaced by others. Many of the
volunteers at Manila, have asked
through the governors or congressman
of their states to be returned to the
United States, but the war department
has not been able to make any definite
promises during the pendency of the
peace negotiations. In view of the ac-
ceptance of the American terms and the
removal Of further possibilities of re-
newal of hostilities is at an end,
the only necessity now is for troops to
garrison the island and preserve the
peace Of our new possessions. It is
probable that the 10000 or 10000 men
mustered out will include large num-
ber organized for service in Cuba, and
the force at Manila will be reduced
whenever General Otis reports affairs in
q quiet state in the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The Anglo
American commission had expected to
resume the consideration of the reciproc-

the Bering sea question had not been
disposed of the consideration of that
branch of work was continued. While
considerable progress has been made a
final agreement on the sealing question
is not yet assured. Besides the present
valuation of the Canadian sealing fleet,
it is said that the REIMBURSEMENT of the
right of sealing is another factor which
the Canadians consider quite as impor-
tant as the value of the present fleet.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Senator Frye's
belief that the peace treaty will be rati:
fed at the coming session of congress Is
not shared by other observers here.
That the treaty will eventually secure
the necessary two-thirds vote is prob.
able, but it is generally believed that it
will not come to vote during the
forthcoming session.
The anti-annexationists have an.
nounced their intention of making an
open fight, and, if their promise is made
good, the entire session will be con:
sumed in futile endeavor to bring the
treaty to a vote.
The fight against the treaty will be

Boston, Nov. 30.-The passing hours
do not bring an end to the reports of
wrecks and loss of life up and down the
New England coast as the outcome of
Saturdays terrific storm. From Cape
Cod the most terrible accounts of ruin
and death are coming, and of these the
loss of the steamer Portland, with nearly
100 souls on board, overshadows all.
The graveyard of the coast. the treach-
srous bars and rips on the outside of
Cape Cod, have claimed victims with

of which is ground so fine by the waves

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The uprising
in Salvador has reached the dimensions
of revolution, in the judgment of Off

fairs in that quarter. President Gutter
req has given way to General Regalado,
who has formed provisional govern

Attitude of Aguinaldo Worries the Adj
ministration.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The appre-
hension which manifested itself some
time ago over the attitude of Aguinaldo
and the Philippine insurgents has not
entirely disappeared, though the admin
istration believes they will accept the
situation without conflict with the
United States. The matter was dis
cussed at the cabinet meeting during
the day and some of the views ex-
pressed indicated Il possibility that the
insurgents may yet have to be dealt
with. On the whole, however, the
president expects that serious trouble
with Aguinaldo will be avoided, but at
the same time has guarded against
an outbreak by taking precautionary
measures. The American force already
in occupancy of part Of the Philippines
is regarded as altogether adequate to
cope with any emergency that may
arise. The future government of the
islands came up incidentally and Secre-
tary Alger made some suggestions as to
details of military government of the
islands,
