q This business of kissing the return
ing heroes of the navy is good in prin-
ciple, but the practice seems to be very
crude and Unsatisfactory, says the
Chicago News. 1t is said by gentle
men and ladies who have given espe-
cial thought to the subject that no man
really cares to be saluted by twenty
seven young women in succession, and
that every young woman after about
the fifth feels a sort of empty
perfunctoriness in her part of the pro-
ceedings. 1t seems to us that the
young ladies could make q vast i'm
provement by issuing coupons, redeem
able at such time and place as the
heroic holder might elect. In any
event it is worth while to refer the
suggestion to Lieutenant Hobson,
whose opinion would probably be ac-
cepted as final.

tennial anniversary of the rebellion of
1898 and the martyrdom at Manches-

sacrificed their lives in striving to Sc
cure for Ireland the same liberties
that are enjoyed under this republic

century that has passed since the
event, the memory of which this cele-
bration is designed to perpetuate, the
Irish people have been deprived of al
most every civil right which American
people enjoy.

many persons On the back of their
necks producing colds.

fancy. The pacific assurances he gave
uere received with evident approval and
relief. The Marquis OF Salisbury said;
4 will not use ore word which seemed
to CRATE on the mobiles ears. but may
say there is no effort which this country
would no, make rather than to lose our
treaty rights. Al the same time, no one
has eyineed the slightest intention OF in
fringing these rights. In regard to the
loan. 1t is true we suggested as one OF the
conditions the opening Of Talien Wan as
a treaty port. The Chinese made some
objections and finally as a compromise,
I On the nth ultimO suggested that the
matter be left in allegiance until the rail
way reached raiien Wan. when it SHOULD
be opened as treaty port. Sir Claude
Macdonald. British minister at Pekin. re-
piled next day that China accepted this
and since uhen | have heard nothing to
the contrary. The old question of the
loan is stIll the subject Of negotiations.
