there Is nothing but people plodding
sluggishly along, carrying bundles or

why don't men get out Of towns
and see something Of life? Why do
they want to stay cooped up within
the four walls OF n stuffy building for
ever, and catch cold and drink whis-
Ky and quinine? Why do they want
TO read books when there are the
vastly more interesting pages Of na-
ture unfolding themselves every min
ute before their eyes, II they would
but go to where nature is unham-
pered?
The life Of a cavalryman may not
be all pleasure, but 1t is infinitely freer
and infinitely more wholesome than
the life of the man Of the city. I ask
nothing better than my horse and the
fresh air Of Grant, however hot II
may be In summer or however cold In
winter. Deliver me from the microbes
of civilization! Deliver me from the
musk and frills Of society," Give me a

feels like a man when he can stretch
his arms without poking his fingers
into a chandelier and can fill his
lungs without inhaling a housemaid's
dust.
What good is a hundred thousand
dollars when you have got to spend
the interest on 1t and eat into the
principle to pay drug bills and buy
dollhouse bouquets? The perfume of

It is probable that the action Of tne
japanese government in ordering the de-
struction OF the City OF Teckcham, For
mosa, and the removal OF all of its inhab-
itants to a new location. Is probably with
out a precedent In history. The city is
situated on the northwest coast of the
island. and has been frequently subject to
of lives The phenomenon being called to
the attention Of the government. an inves-
ugation was ordered by sanitary experts.
who reported that the city was built upon
a swamp. and that at certain seasons Of
the year poisonous gases issued from the
ground, whereupon an order was issued to
Mr.. Sakurai, the governor, to select new
location as convenient to the old one as
possible. where the natural conditions
were healthful. A new city was laid out
by experts. and each property holder IN
the old one was assigned q site that cor
responded in area with that he occupied
at Teckcham. and he was given twelve

Sewers. roadways and sidewalks. public
buildings, water works, and all other pub

The undertaking Is 4 notable nlustration

INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Spain Not Liable If Explosion Was
The Act of Fanatic.

! Chicago, Feb. 21--The question of re-
sponsibility which might attach to the
government OF Spain in case the Maine
explosion was due to q mine in the
harbor of Havana, and was the work
of a fanatic or an accident, has be-
come subject of discussion among
lawyers. International law is a mat
ter largely of precedent, and a mine
explosion in fortified harbor in time
of peace has no precedent All unite
IN saying that If such an event was by
design, it would be cause for war. No
less an authority than Robert T. Lin
coin. former minister to. England. is
positive that in case of accident or if
the mine was exploded by a Spanish
! fanatic, Spain would not be burdened
with any legal responsibility. Mr. Lin
coin said:
In neither case would the slightest
liability attach to SPAIN Assuming a
mine exploded by fanatic or by acct
dent, that would be the end of the af-
fair. Giving international law the wild
est latitude and stretching precedents
10 their limit, there would be no liabil-
lily against the government of Spain
1t is an elementary precedent of inter
national law that a government is in
no way responsible for the acts of pri-
Vate citizens. If 1t were not so. com
plIcatlons would be arising continually.
which would keep nations in a turmoil
and arbitrating continuously.
1t Is another primary principle that
no nation is responsible for accidents.
AS to the right of nation to fortify
IT'S harbors as it sees fit. there cannot
be the slightest doubt. This right is a
conceded one, and is exercised by all
nations
whenever a vessel, therefore. enters
tne harbor of foreign power, it is with
notice of such defenses and with an as
sumption of the chances they involve.
IL would not do to say that one nation
is pound to give the ship of another
hotlce where and how its harbor de-
1enses are arranged. as the. result of
such rule would be obvious. In en-

ing to Cuba or the Maine disaster in

maintain silence
AS Chairman Hit of the foreign af-
fairs committee is confined to his home
by a bad cold, il IS probable that no
meetings of that committee viii be held
until he returns to his seat in the
house. It is understood that the report
of the state department, to be made to
the resolution Of inquiry regarding the
situation in Cuba, win not be made. for
a week or ten days. 1t is explained that
the work of preparing the consular re-
ports, which viii be transmitted, will
require considerable time.
Besides, these reports, it is said must
be scanned by Assistant Secretary Day
in person, and the demands upon his
time at present are very great, and he
has little leisure to give to this work.
