Being asked if the treaty will contain
any reference to debts, Senior Abarzuza

more the widow Of p. 7. Barnum will wed.
The bridegroom is French nobleman. The
wedding will take place in Paris The great
showman's widow took for her second hus-
band Demetrius Callias Bey, a Greek, who
died in September, 1896, in Constantinople,
after a welded life of a year. Mime. Callias
has been in Paris for more than two years.
1t is said that the Bey made a big hole in
the fortune of the American Snowman. The

strangers. The widows interest in the
landed property in which he invested his
enormous profits is rapidly diminishing, as
the executors are turning it all into cash.
The widow still has a $4,000 annuity from
the estate. While travelling in Egypt to as

China,s Firrt Rnil,yax.

Charles DENLY, in Engineering Magazine.
The first railroad constructed in China
was a narrow-gauge line from Shanghai TO
Woosung put down in 1876, and intended
chiefly as an ocular demonstration to the
Chinese. At the end of twelve months it
was sold to a Chinese official, who straight
way tore up the rails and deported them
to Formosa. The single dummy engine OF
the line now reposes peacefully in the mud
of some Formosan harbor, together with the
wreck of the junk in which it was trans
ported. During these twelve months of it's
existence the Shanghai-Woosung Railroad,
with ito single dummy engine and its train
of small cars. which, by the way, were OF
the American pattern, carried three hun
dred thousand passengers. The Chinese
came from far and wide to see and expert
ment with this new barbarian curiosity. and
the people In the neighborhood, soon finding
it an institution of great practical utility,
became regular patrons. The predicted up
rising of the people against the construction
of the road never materialiZed. and, as for
the graves along the route, every farmer
would manufacture as many graves as he
could get dollars for permission to traverse
them.

The Future Of China.
Cha 1,las DENNY in Enoinanrine. Mar.

Charles DENLY. in Engineering Magazine.
There is not much probability of a parti-
ton of China. Germany, Russia, France
and England have seized what they want Of
the territory of China. They recognize that
she is the greatest market ON earth for their
manufactured goods, and the greatest field
for industrial enterprise They have no in
terest in dividing her up into hostile camps,
in checking production, and paralyzing
progress. The more the Chinaman is civil
lied the greater purchaser of imported
goods he becomes. If every man I'm China
wore a shirt the sale of shirtings would
keep all the mills In the United States busy !;
and so with other articles.
Nations are governed by self-interest IL
is the interest of the world to preserve the
autonomy of China. It is particularly TO
American interest to do so To carry out
this view the United States need only hold
the Philippines, which they claim as their
own by conquest, and they do not need to
take any part of the mainland of China.

Count Thun Hohnstein, replying to an in

of Austrians from Prussia, said that, while
there was undeniable severity in the action
of the Prussian authorities, it could not be
described as a fragrant violation of the
principles of international law. Neverthe-
less. he added, the Foreign Office had
strongly protested against the steps taken
by the Prussian officials, and the assurances
of the Berlin Cabinet warranted the hope
that greater consideration will be shown to
