Two Northern Pilgrims Hear About
Marie Veau.
From The New York Sun.

Graveyard relics are not In so great de
mand in the North as they are down South.
Southern people pick up the superstitions
of the negroes OF course they laugh at
good many Of these weird notions, but, a
good deal in jest and i little bit in earn
est, they observe the forms of these De
hefs. Two Northern women who were in
New Orleans not long ago were a good
deal amused by the Information they pick
ed up along this line.
1t all came about through their hunt for
the cottage of Marie Laveau At one time
Marie LaVeau was the queen of the famous
Voudoos, whoIhe1d their strange rites and
dances in Congo square. The Voudoo sect
was broken up long ago and their dances
forbidden. More recently, in order to BAN
ish completely adj such memories and ideas
from the minds of the darkies, the city
authorities changed the name of the open
place to Beauregard square, but it didn' t
do much good. They can cali il that IN the
directory and paint the name at the corn
ers but the negroes call it Congo square.
The two Northern women, guide book in
hand, were wandering over the French
quarters, locating various points of inter-
est when they arrived at St. Anne street.
The guide book informed them that a GER
tain '1owroofed cottage" in a certain
block was once the home of Marie Laveau.
AS a matter of fact, five out of six cot
tages on the block were extremely low Of
roof and the two explorers finally APP
pealed to a great darby woman, who was
majestieally approaching with a basket of
clean clothes on her head.
"Can you tell me which was Marie La

England's Position in Far East
Briefly Defined.
THERE'S NOTHING EQUlVOCAL ABOUT 1T.
Her Ships Must Have All the Privileges
in Chinese Ports that Those of ANY
Other Nations Have, and She
VIII Enfore Them.

MANCHESTER, England, Jan. 3.-The
Manchester Guardian says:
The government has categorically
stated that Great Britain will refuse to
recognize any special rights granted
at any Chinese port to any partlcu-
lar power. Any port opened to
one power must be opened to
all or open to none. If Russia has been
granted the right to winter ships at
Port Arthur, Great Britain will enforce
her rights to the same privileges, and
her ships will win ter there whether
China comedies or does not concede the
right"
Continuing, the Guardian says:
'If Germany obtains a naval station
at X iao-Chau, Great Britain insists up
on having lease of ground for naval
station at the same port, and she will
support every other power making the
same claim.
The contention of the government
is that the most favored nation clause
in the British and all other treaties
with China forbids any special conces-
sions of the nature contemplated by
Germ any at Kiao-Chau, and prevents
nutions from acquiring special benefits
in which the others have not a share.
THE government has also declared
that the same principle applies to such
transactions as railway and mine mo-
nopolies. Taking her stand on the
treaties. Great Britain refuses to ac-
knowledge such concessions, and will
insist upon similar railway and mine
rights, and will use such force to Sc
cure or defend them as may be neces-
sary.
This declaration does not apply to
cessioEs of territory to which the ex-
isting treaties do not refer, but relative
to this contingency the dispatch of
Great Britain to China says that
when it occurs graver questions
will arise. The government will
then consider the manner in which
British interests can best be safe-
guarded, and the form which the COM
pensation to Great Britain for the spe-
cial advantages of other nations must
take.
'It is reported that a similar decla
ration has been delived to the Chinese
and other governments by Japan"

MILES ON The SITUATION.
He Believes That the United States Should
Be Prepared for Trouble.


Be Prepared for Trouble.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Maj.-Gef.
Miles, IN discussing the eastern crisis,
said:
The measures and policies being in
augurated by the great powers at the
present time are more far-reaching,
more significant than any movement of
a military character in the whole his
tory of the world. They affect the
commerce of the world and the future
of millions of the human race more
than any event which has yet occurred.
IF few of the great powers can dis
member country occupied by vastly
superior numbers. to their own ag-
grandizement and-in- their own com
mercial and political interest, will such
action not, in the near future, serious
ly affect the welfare, and especially the
foreign commerce, of the United States?
The influence will likely be felt first by
our neighbors in South America.
Hence the words of Washington seem
to be doubly wise when he warned us
against foreign entanglements, and at
the same time admonished that in
time of peace prepare for war;"

The Treasure Brought Down by the
Steamer Corona.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. "a Chronicle
special from Port Townsend, WASH,
says:
There was S627, 500 in gold dust and
nuggets on the steamer Corona, which
has arrived from Alaska. The treasure
on the steamer was carefully guarded
on the trip down by two watchmen
day land night. Some of the nuggets
weighed as high as Is ounces. A
man named j. Davidson, who says
he halls from Cripple Creek,
Col, has a nugget that weighs
151a ounces. One of the drawers in
Capt. Carroll's room was packed with
nuggets of all sizes.
Your correspondent had the pleasure
of seeing this wealth, through the
kindness of Capt. Carroll. In addition
to this amount there was considerable
more, carefully tied up in sacks, among
the returning KIondikers. From
careful estimate it is safe to say that,
in drafts and gold dust, there was
about 81, 300, 900 in wealth aboard the
Corona.

Scenery Horses and Baggage of "In Old
Kentucky" Burned.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 3.-When the COM
pany presenting In Old Kentucky" ar
rived in this city Sunday, from Kansas
City, they were minus every thing in
the way of scenery, horses, wardrobe
and properties with which to present
their show, the car in which they were
contained having been burned near
Fleming, Mo-, an hours ride out from
Kansas City. Prompt effort and
courtesy on the part of local managers
and others enabled the company to ap-
pear promptly, and duplicate scenery
snd properties will be at once provided.
The loss is very heavy, as it includes
three valuable thoroughb bred horses.
