PEKING, Aug. 31.-A high member
of the tsung-l-yamen (Chinese foreign
office), who is a British sympathizer,
complained in the course Of a recent
interview, that Great Britain's assur-
ances Of support against Russian ag-
gression were beiated. why" said this
functionary, withhold such a declara-
ton until Russia has secured Port Ar

BILE cessions in the south? The disin-
tegration of the empire has begun, and
today the necessity for strong actiCS1 is
less urgent than when Russia first OBJ
tanned a foothold." He admitted that
China had broken her promises TO Eng
land. but this. he argued, was because
Russian pressure was too strong to be
resisted. He complained of British
ignorance Of Russia's Ling @of action" and
asked: why does not England ap-
proach Russia directly with a declsra-
tion that Russia's interference in Chi
ma will be regarded as a casus belli?

SHE DOES WELL AS A TOUT.
A Western Young Woman wh9 swin-
dies Race-Goors Out OF Coa- -,f
siderRbto Sums.

A female "tout" is following the
races. and no doubt will be In evidence
at tho races here and at Anaconda.
She worked the, California and Den
yer people. and Il IA said was weil pcid
for herwork Everybody that has at
tended the races here or elsewhere
knows what ''tout" is They are gen-
orally OF the male persuasion, and In a
town like Butte the picking is cg.
tremely good.
Women arc much easier victims to
tho .'touts" than the men, as they do
not like to 60 down into the betting
ring, and they tqust 60 the honesty Of
tho touts.
The female stout" has worked on
these prinsiples. She does not con-
iine herself TO her own sex, bun 'touts"
men as well. She would find seat
near some aristooraticloedn people
and would manage 10 engage some OF
them in conversation. Then she would
make a statement to the effect that
sho would like 10 bet-on horse. She
had never done such thing in her life,
and she would so much enjoy the SEN
sation. Would anyone else Ike to bet?
She would only risk small amount,
and what q good thing It would be II
they would make up a pool, say Eve
dollars or ten dollars each, and place it
on one horse to win.
Then they would all put up their
money and the female stout" would
say that she knew betting man who
would place the money for them She
would return with a.ticket en- q horse
that had no possible show Of winning.
OF course, the ticket was n counter
felt, but then the people who had con-
tributed their money didn't know Il.
When the race was over she would
show IL to the crowd and assure them
that their horse did not win. and then
tear the worthless pasteboard into
pieces. She worked one crowd of six
three times in one afternoon at Dem
yer. and defrauded them out Of $3.50.

GARCIA IS RELIEVED.
Gomez Removes Him From
His Command.
HIS LETTER TO SKATER THE CAUSE.
cubans Near Guantanamo Proposed to
Make an Armed Entry Into the city,
but Compromised by Asking
For Handout.

SANTIAGO. Cuba. Aug. 31.-General
Garcia has been relieved of his COM
nand by General Gomez acting under
instructions from the provisional gov
ernment.
This is owing to disapproval of his
action during the Shafter incident and
in view that Garcia is persona non
grata to the American government.
At the commencement of the war the
Cuban officers were ordered to put
themselves under the orders Of the
American commanders, and the letter
of Garcia to Shafter is looked upon as
a breach Of discipline.
His resignation is not accepted, but
he is relieved of his command. General
Rodriguez, commanding in the east un-
der Gomez, will succeed him.
courier to General Lawton confirms
the news that General Lacrete Is COM
ing from Santa Cruz with dispatches
from Gomez to General Lawton. Their
substance is yet unknown.
A conference will be held at Santa
Anna. The Cuban leaders are Lacrete,
Cetreco, Perez, Rabi, Castillo and 9TH
ers. Preliminaries will be arranged for
the delegates to go to Camaguez to at
tend the election Of the new Cuban gov
ernment.
Colonel Ray Of the Third regiment Of
immunes reports from Guantanamo
that the Cubans there, consisting Of two
battalions, have intimated their inten-
ton of entereing the tswn and display
ing the Cuban flag. Colonel Ray said
that as Guantanamo is United States
territory he would look upon this ac-
ton as hostile and call out his men.
Then the Cubans said the reason Of
their proposed entry was a report that
the Spanish prisoners in the town would
rise and sacrifice the American garri-
son, and they finally concluded by ask
ing for 1900 rations.
General Castillo has been advanced
brigadier general to the general divi-
sion Of war and will go by steamer tc
San Juan today to meet Garcia at Gi-
bara, but it is learned that the latter
left for Jiguani.
A courier arriving from General Cas-
tillo reports that the governor Of Puerto
Principe has offered to march out, CIV
ing up the town to the Cubans, If sup
piled with j 900 head of cattle. 800 carts
and 800 oxen for transport TO Havana
The Cubans refused this after the noti-
fication of peace.

WAR HELPED WOMEN.
Conflict Opened the Way for
Women In business.

One of the most interesting as wel
as dmportantfactorsi in the labor prob
lorn to-day is the employment Of wom-
en- jim the various departments Of labor
once reserved for men and tho compe-
tition of women with men in the strug-
gle. for life.
fkere weresome %, ,O00, 900 persons of
beth sexes engaged in gainful pursuits
Of, all sorts In 1890. OF these about
100000 were females and ls,00o,O00
males. There were, according to the
same census. about 100000 families
in the United States. IN 1860 there
were about 10000, 600 workers Of both
sexes. and of these oncstwentieth, or
500 600. were females. These were en-
gagged chiefly in clothing factories,
cotton mills and in shoe binding, and
thcv were found almost wholly IN Now
lEngland states, whose men had gone
away 20 sea or 10 the new lands OF tho
fvest and left their women depend
hnt. In the west and In the south a
woman seldom went away from home
ITO work, or. II So they were occupied
with household duties Ia families Aft
,ct the civil war Che situation vas vast
ly changed. 4 nrllion,ueh lost their
I lives or wero So disabled ns TO be in
eetaciated to suppoL, themselves.
( The south suffered more than any 9th
or section, and many women were left
self-dependent. 1t was new thing 20
see white women in the southern states
start out to seek work in avenues that
had been previously closed TO women.
They could not take domestic service,
because such places were monopolized
10y the negroes who had been brought
mp TO that sort of work. The posts Of
teaching the young did not afford
places for all who were forced TO work,
and thus the white women of the
south emulnted their sisters CT the
north and west in seeking the means
Of earning'a livelihood in every hon.
orable work within their capacity,
and, however much thu necessity Of
such state of'tlings Is regretted II
must be recognized all the same.
II is not only unmanly, but il is out
rageously unjust for men 90 complain
that women are throwing them out OF
employment. There are 13o0000o
heads Of families in tho Unhed States
Some OF these are widows, but the
greatest number are men. There ara
men enough In the country to support
all the women IL they would. The fact
Is that they do not. II IS their own
fault. II every man who pretenus "a
be man were supporting a woman
as he should, there would be prob
ably 100000 places In Offices, stores
shops and factories that are now occu
PIC by woman workers left free tc
.meu, and the women would be AZ
home. ~ ts.t l4sv b
The worst feature Ia tho entire sit
uation Is that the women are put OF
with about one-half the wages giyer

an outrage In many cases. Whom th,
women acquire the power In busines

he HAD CONFIDENCE.
VerineatIon OF the
Account.

1t was a country store, with a trim
little miss behind the counter, who
would have been much more at home
in a city drawing-room. She was
visiting in the little counicy town, and
more for amusement than anything
else She would assume the responsible
tiles Of keeping shop. An old negro
ambled into the store with a troubled
look on his face. He took a respect
full pul>at his battered hat as he came
TO the counter and said;
"Mornin', Miss Catings. My OF 'oman
kinder had de EXPRESSION dat dis yere
count Of ourn don't zaciSly signify, an
I'm gNvine to put you to de discon-
venience TO sorteT see by de book whar

The little miss looked frightened at
first, but as the old man laid his charge
book down on the counter her face
frightened.
"All right, uncle, we will compare
the books" she said.
The day book Of the little store was
brought out, and as she called Off the
articles charged against the old negro
he checked them of in his book, from
time TO time giving grunts Of aston
ishment and satisfaction. This con-
tinued until the last item was called
out and duly checked, when the old
man picked up his book, and with a
broad smile, said:

THE czAR's PROPOSAL.
European Capitals sim In a State OF FIX.
cltesnent over II.


LONDON Aug. 3t.-The Daily Graph
ic says that Lord Salisbury in 1883 COM
municated to Emperor William a mem
orandum showing the tremendous cost
of armed Europe. Emperor William
was so impressed that he privately IN
timated his intention to summon a dis
armament congress. The semiofiiclal
German press ventilated the idea, with
the result that so much animosity was
revealed on the part of France that the
kaiser abandoned the project.
The st. Petersburg correspondent of
The Times says:
Count Muravieff, the Russian for
e.gn minister, declares that the idea
originated entirely with Emperor Mich
olas. There is much skepticism in Dip
lomatic circles as to any practical re-
suits from a conference, and IL is ad-
mitted on all sides that the circular
came as the greatest surprise"
The Paris correspondent OF The Times
still insists that NJ. Faure and the
French ministers knew nothing before
hand and that the czar's proposal has
plunged the entire official world into
terrible embarrassment and almost into
stupefaction.
Everybody says Nj. de Blowitz, "is
asking with dismay what 1t means. 1t
is sad awakening for France and her
papers are making anfmmense effort to
restrain their feelings in the face OF
what is regarded as Russian perfidy."
The st. Petersburg correspondent OF
The Daily Mail says:
The proposal is a victory for M. dc
Witte, the Russian minister of finance
over Count Muravieff, the former hav-
ing warned Emperor Nicholas that il
Muravieff's provocative policy toward
England were continued Russia would
soon become bankrupt"
