The Chinese question has been def
nitely settled at Baltimore. A China
man wanted to marry a negress, and
it at once became of paramount impor-
lance to decide whether he was white
or colored. If white, the law against
miscegenation applied to the union; if
colored, no objection could be raised.
The negroes decided positively that he
was not one of them, and the white
people were equally certain that he
SHOULD! not be classed with them. There
upon he was put down as yellow -
and, Of course, 'yellow" man was
privileged to marry whom he chose.

The details of the terrible heat which
has prevailed in certain colonies of Aus
tralia show it to have been one of the
most fearful natural visitations of mod
crn times. The water in the wells and
streams and rivers has dried up, miles
and miles of farms have been burned
over and townships have been blotted
out by bush fires. The fish in the rivers
and the cattle and sheep on the plains
have been destroyed and no one yet
knows how many human beings have
been lost. The towns and cities are
filled with half-naked and terror
stricken people.
