WHY MIR. HAY WAS CHOSEN.
To Carry Out An Anglo-American
Policy in the Far East.

London, August 22-The Manchester
Guardian says:
1--WE understand that United States
Ambassador Hays recall to Washington
to accept the post Of Secretary of State,
is due to his special fitness TO carry out
a policy in regard to which negotiations
have been proceeding for some time be-
tween Washington and London. and
upon which a substantial agreement has
been reached whereby the two countries
will act together in the Far East, or
wherever American and British inter
ests are identical.
'"There is no intention Of binding the
nations in an alliance. Each is to be
free to pursue its own destnies in its
own way, but the Governments will act
together where their common interests
are concerned"
CHOSEN FOR OTHER REASONS.
Washington, ID. c.. August 22.-It
was stated in an authoritative quarter
to-day that Mr.. Hays choice was due
solely to his general fitness for the posi-
ton, and was without reference to or
consideration of. the Chinese question.
Beyond this no official statement is
made as to the policy of the United
States IN the Far East, but all indica-

policy Of protecting and fostering our

A MoIrSE IN HER HAT.

In New London, while the morning service in the Second Congregational church was in progress, last Sunday there was a squeaking sound heard not exactly bird like, but to those who had heard a similar noise before it S emed to be that of mouse impris- oned somewhere. A. M. Stacy the State street tea merchant, heard the sound and with others tried to locate it. Seated in the pew in front of hun was a lady wearing large hat, the decorations of which consisted mostly of lace Caught within the folds of this lace was a tiny mouse. MT, Sta oy's first impulse caused him 10 reach forward without warn ng the lady, and grasp the mouse between his fingers. The lady was, of course, astoaishe3 to suddenly find somebody tugging at her lat and she looked around indignantly. MT. Stacy whispered the cause of the trouble, and the look of indignation changed to one of alarm and she hast ened to get the hat from her head. The mouse was finally released from the meshes of lace and thea MT. Stacy was in doubt what to do with him. Somebody suggested that he drop il down the grating of the "a liator near by, and he so disposed of il.

The Stock Market.

New York, Oct. 27.-The stock mar l1et showed a continuation of yester- days strength to-day and the specula- tive activity broadened out consider ably in addition. There was not quite such congestion of trading in To- bacco and Sugar although those stocks continued to be the leaders in point of activity. They were traded in nearly all day at a level below yesterdays close, though each stock advanced slightly above yesterdays price for brief interval. The covering of shorts, which caused yesterdays rise in Sugar, left that stock weak again and the ex- treme decline from the high point was IA. A rally at the close leaves the net loss 1 3-4. C Tobacco was under pressure on the suppostion that the recently incorporated company is des- tined to be powerful competitor and on denials of accessions to the Ameri- can company of outside plug tobacco companies. The stock was at one time off 3-4, but closed with small net gain. In railroad securities the eontin- ued duIlness and hesitation on foreign exchanges was without effect. There was large demand for quite an ex- tensive list of railroad stocks, the grangers leading with pretty much all the western and southwestern roads showing a good tone. The eastern trunk lines continued to lag on account of the admittedly bad rate situation in that territory, which nullifies the bene-' fit of the exceptionally large tonnage which is being moved St Paul was the leader in the railroad list, and the movement of the stock was supposed to foreshadow a good September state ment due tomorrow The gross in- crease of that period in earnings is known to be well on towards $500. O0O and it is surnised that the statement will show a reduction in the recent heavy rates of expenditures for irn- provements charged to operating ex- penses. The September statement of Union Pacific, while showing a de- crease of over s440O0 in gross earnings, showed operating expenses so largely reduced as to leave an increase in sur- plus earnings of $112554. The delayed movement of cotton now coming for ward and the decrease of yellow fever fort shadows good earnings for southern and southwestern reads. The easier tone to-day of sterling exchange was the direct result of the calmer feeling in Paris There was heavy demand for sterling exchange here yesterday for Paris account, which sprang from the same cause as that which lifted ex- change on London in Paris above the gold export point namely t1e pr ssure to transfer funds from Paris to London It is now known also that the violent recovery in British consols was partly due to buying for account of timid Paris capital because of domestic dis quiet, and no altogether to the relief of the Anglo-French tension over Fashoda.

vELASQUEZ THE COURTIER.

An Interesting Page of Spanish His
 tory-Madrid in the Seventeenth Gen.
 tury-A Great Artists Experience at
 Court-His Sovereign's Kindness
 Velaquez in g. Little Kkown Aspect.
 No one writing of the Spanish people can fail to say something about their cruelty, and the author of an article on 'sVelasquez the Courtier'' in Black woods Magazine, alludes, quite as a Eatter of course, to some of the harsh
 CT elements in the character of the na- ton. But he revives also a picture of life in Spain on it's more ingratiating side, and in no country in the world have the urganites been cultivated with more art and enthusiasm than in the peninsula. VelasQuez himself was a perfect type of them. His experience at the court of Madrid has proved a stumbling block to some of his biog- raphers, but the latest commentator on his career seems to us to have struck the correct note in describing him as a man naturally and inevitably fitted into courtly environment. He served his sovereign in capacities not strictly artistic, no doubt, but many of the hIRneSC nODleS Ol Iue TedlI1l were HIS fellow servants. Philip was his friend, as he was theirs, and the sketch of his official relation sketched below is in the last degre honorable to him, besides throwing suggestive light on Spanish manners two hundred years ago.
 In the seventeenth century the court of Madrid esteemed magnificence more highly than military prowess. On the banks of the Manzannares life was a pageant, conducted alway with splen- did severity. The sovereign was so lofty figure that he might only be ap- preached in obedience to the sternest laws of etiquette. It was not mere jest that the queen of Spain had no legs; the legend was a symbol of the pious reverence wherewith the popu- lace approached the throne. Nor was there, to a true born Spaniard, a touch of extravaganza in the death of Philip III, thought the French and English travellers who witnessed the disaster believed that they had strayed into the kingdom of reckless comedy. Now, the day being cold, the king sat writing let ters in his closet with a brazier at his feet. and presently the fire became so fierce that not only the monarch's com fort but his life was threatened. Yet no courier dared to interfere. The at tendant marquis ran for the Duke of Ava who declared that the brazier lay not within his province. Unhappily
