BORROWING HABITS IN CHIN

BORROWING HABITS IN CHINA. their own supplies fall short, of borrow- ing from the neighbors. At least. this was a very common custom twenty five years ago and goods changed hands, oyer the garden wall, with astonishing celerity. the buffers, meantime, keep ng strict account. An American lady residing in China writes thus in the At- lantic:
 At the first large dinner party to which I was invited-I went as bride T found myself eating with my own
 brand new knives, forks and spoons. stared at them very hard; there could be no mistake, for I could see the fresh monograms. .
 I was dreadfully distressed but did
 not dare to say anyth ng. When I
 reached home I told my husband, rath-
 CT trembirgly for I was quite sure they had been stolen. To my amaze
 ment he only laughed and said:
 "Oh, you will get used to that soon, and when you have too many guests you will find that, instsad of asking you tn get more supplies, the butler will
 just borrow your neighbors' and al- ways make up the deficiency"
 Ard so it proved. I can well remem-
 bre once, when my husband had asked eight guests in to dinner only half an ! hour before the usual time Gone for each of the delicious first spring snipe he had shot), that there appeared, later, a splendid roast leg of mutton as one of our courses.
 Now I knew we had no mutton for earlier in the day the cook had been be- wailng the non-arrival of the Shang- hai steamer, by which it always came.
 Turning to the gentleman on my left, l
 asked, Did your steamer come from Shanghai to-day?"
 "Yes; why?"
 I looked down to the other end of the table, where my husband was carving the unexpected tycasure-trove with very evident enjoyment. Well, ours did not" said l. and vel -:
 He caught sight of the mutton "Oh!" he laughed. q suppose that is
 mine. No doubt yours will come to-
 morrow, and probably be much better; so I shall be the gainer this time, and enjoy it all the more."

CONFERENCE ASKED.
Result OF Visit to New Bedford OF
State Arbitrators

result or visit 10 New Bedford or
State Arbitrators.
New Bedford, Mass, March 3.--The
state boaSd OF arbitration, as a result OF
its visit to this city, has sent prop
osition TO the mill treasurers for a con-
ference between them and the weavers
for the purpose of discussing and settl-
Ing the fines question" so-called, or.
what is the same thing. the question of
grading as II affects the wages of weav-
ers. the beard to be present at the time
OF the conference, but neither party
TO be bound by the proceedings except
so far as they may agree. This prop
osition was agreed to by the representa-
tives o! all the textile unions engaged
in the strike. and at the conclusion OF
the conference. Chairman Walcott sent
the proposition to Andrew c. Pierce as
tho representative of the manufacturers
Matthew Hart. secretary Of the weav-
ers, was not present at the conference.
Through misunderstanding OF the
facts II was stated i'm these dispatches
that the weavers' executive committee
ut its meeting Tuesday morning, had
decided To replace Mr.. Hart on the con-
ference committee owing to the feel
inG OF aversion. on the part OF the man
ufncturers toward him. Subsequent
developments show that Mr.. Hart, some
three weeks ego of his own accord. ex-
pressed desire to be relieved OF the
responsibility OF a conference with the
manufacturers, and the executive COM
mittee has taken no action on the matter.
Whether there Is any foundation for IL
or not, there Is a feeling on the part OF
many OF the operatives that with the
fines question out of the way there is
possibility for an adjustment OF the
main issue of the conflict, the 10 per-
cent reduction. Since the session of
the legislative committee on labor i'm this
city. the manufacturers have not ex-
pressed themselves regarding the re-
duction, and IL is an open question
whether any proposition for a compro-
mise would be granted by them.

LIFTING THE MAINE.

London, March Accommodating upon
letter written by Rev. Edward James
Reed, formerly chief OF construction OF
the British navy, expressing the opinion
that the Maine could be refloated for a
tithe Of her cost. Clark & Standfeld. the
designers Of the floating dock recently
sent TO Havana for the Spanish govern
ment. have written TO The Times saying
that the dock is perfectly capable OF
dealing with the Maine, even In the
waterlogged state 1t would be i'm when
first raised. Lifting the ship therefore
reduces Itself merely to n question OF
placing collision mats over the rents In
tho bottom and temporary timber and
canvas bulwark raised above the decks

towing her across the harbor 10 the place
where the dock is moored."

GENERAL COURT.

Boston, March 3.--In the house We'd
nesday the committee on public health
reported the laundry inspection bill in
a new draft, providing that no room i'm
a dwelling house shall be used for laun-
dry business without a license from the
district police. and liable TO inspection
by the same authority. Nothing in the
act prevents family laundry work by
individuals.
The house concurred with the senate
IN admitting the bill for tbe construction
OF a 100000 bridge over the Saugus river
at Point of Pines.
Counsel for the New England Tele-
phone company. at the hearing on the
bill for a commission, denied that there
had been any call for the proposed legis-
lation. The telephone service in Mas
sachusetts is as good as anywhere in
the world, and the rates charged are
fair and reasonable. Massachusetts,
can have lower rates, but they must
be accompanied by poorer service. He
insisted that the telephone subscribers
the people most deeply interested, have
not complained and have not sought leg
islation.
The committee on counties voted to
report a resolve for the payment OF
$500 out of the treasury of Middlesex
county to Charles Sweetzer. of Chelms-
ford. who was buncoed out Of that sum
by John Reed. The payment is to come
from the money put up by Reed as bail
The bill to permit the Boston and
Maine railroad to purchase and hold the

supporters OF the bill.

damages could be demanded on the
ground that Spain was guilty OF con-
nivance or that the Havana authorl-
ties were negligent beyond the border
,lne OF criminality. Neither OF these
hypotheses does II seem possible TO sus-
tain. While. therefore, II is quite un-
likely that war will arise through the
Maine disaster. the situation is still far
from reassuring in the face Of Americas
