Tan Chung.lin, Viceroy of the
Liang Kwang and Hsu Chen-yi,
Governor of Kwang.tung, have, says
the China Gazette, joint telegram
to the Emperor announcing the well
come news that the rebellion in
Kwangsi is rapidly being suppress
ed. The Imperial troops have re-
taken four cities and three import
ant fortresses, and it seems as if the
movement will now be completely
subdued without further serious re-
sistance. The Emperor expressed
the greatest delight at the joyful
tidings and replied to the two off
Gals in terms conveying the hearth
est congratulations, at the same
time ordering them to continue
their efforts to stamp out the rebel
lion and restore peace to the

The Clock Ticks On

The song that we're singing bears
with it a moral,
To be taken to heart by the young
and the old;
While Time, envious fellow, so
quietly stealing,
Shall whisper-go print it in
letters of gold
"The clock ticks on"
The maiden who triAes with honest
affection,
Who thinks youth eternal, all let
her beware;
She'll find out too late, with bitter
reflection,
That Time is relentless-she's no
longer fair.
"The clock ticks onw
There's the note that you gave
such an easy transaction;
Three long months to elapse FIRE
the payment is due.
How hard to consider that Times
stealing on you,
And the day of protesting you'll
bitterly rue.
81 he clock ticks on!"
Your friends are departing-how
sadly you miss them
But you count not the hours so
mournfully told;
And sadly oblivious to time that is
passing,
You dream not moment that
you're growing old.
"The clock ticks on!"

Schley for the Pacific.

New York, Aug. 49, The Tribune's
Washington correspondent tele-
graphs: 1t is considered likely the
North Atlantic station will be
divided and one flag officer, probably
Admiral Sampson, retained in COM
mand of the home fleet. The i'm
preston prevails among naval officers
that Schley will seize the oppor-
tunity to secure command of the
Pacific station on the retirement of
Admiral Miller on November % and
be content to wait ashore a few
weeks between the termination of
his services on the Porto Rican
commission and Admiral Miller's
retirement, which would enable him
to have an independent command.

The Australia's Porcine Mascot

SAN Francisco, Aug. 1S,-The
steamship Australia returned yester-
day from Manila by way of Maya
saki, japan, and brought with her
seven sick sailors.
The Australia had smooth water
and pleasant weather both going
aud returning. She left Manila July
23d and Nagasaki July Both. She
brought ten sacks of mail from the
troops. On board the Australia is a
pet pig, a little black porker, that
was captured at Guam by First
Officer Lawless and by him adopted
as the Australia's mascot. The pig
answers to the name OF Frenchy, and,
so Lawless says, can do everything
except talk.
Capt. Houdlette says that the
insurgents could never have taken
Manila in 100 years with the war
appliances at their disposal.

The Paris Tribunal Will Decide

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19-The claims
made in Madrid that the protocol
and not the capitulation controls
the state OF affairs in the Philippines
will not be discussed by State De-
partment officials. The Madrid dis
cussion is looked upon as rather
academic, as it is taken for granted
that claims will be made on both
sides and that the Paris tribunal
will be the final arbiter OF the case.

Anti-Foreign Outrage in Human

A telegram from Wuhu date
July 18th to the China Gazette said
l have only time to send you a
few lines about the most recent anti
foreign outrage of which we have
just received the briefest facts.
Messrs. Chaplin and Alexander, of
the International Alliance Mission,
while on their way up the Yuen
river, with their own house. boat,
were stoned at Hongkiang, Human.
The boat was smashed up, and then
burned by the mob, with all things
on board. The two travellers bare
ly escaped with their lives on Chi
nese gunboat. The officials did
nothing to protect them. They,
however, supplied them with small
boat in which Messrs. Chaplin and
Alexander travelled night and day
until they reached Chang-teh. They
will be in HaDkow in day or So.
The case goes to the U. S. Consul.

1t has been said, and probably
with very great degree of truth
that the whaling fleet first made
Honolulu. In 1881 the fleet con
sisted in round numbers OF 40
Sperm Whale ships and 100 Right
Whalers. Formerly, English, Am.
erican and French reudezvoused
here but latterly they we're almost
exclusively American. The increased
heavy bills for furnishing and re-
fitting and the lavish prodigality Of
the sailors brought golden grist to
Honolulu's mill. Merchants came
from the United States and pur-
chased and fitted up whalers. The
first whaler belonging to Honolulu
was owned by Henry A. Pierce in
1882, man who has left his mark
in Hawaiian history.
The supplies for these ships aver
aged annually $4,000 barrels of -four,
10000 of pork and beef, $4,000 bolts
of duck, 5000 tons of hoop iron,
100000 slaves, 1000 tons of cord
age, in addition to 100000 pounds
OF stores, such as sugar, molasses,
coffee, etc. Those we're brave days

TO CALL AN EXTRA SESSION.
IL is Said Congress Will Convened as Soon
as Spain Accepts Uncle Sans
Terms OF Peace.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The Post
Tuesday morning says:
President Mckinley will call an cX.
ira session Of both houses of congress
as soon as Spain accepts the terms OF
reace offered by the United States.
Ii has always been understood that
the senate would be convened as soon
as the treaty Of reace was ready to be
acted upon by that body. The atten-
tion of the president has been called,
however, TO n situation which makes
the assembling of the entire congress
necessary. This situation can be eX.
p,ained in few words. Under the
law which provides for the raising OF
the volunteer army, that army goes
out of existence as soon as the war
ceases.
When this law was framed il was
not for moment supposed that after
the war had ended there would not be
any necessity Of keeping the army in
tact. The developments Of the war
make il very evident that instead OF
sending the army back to civil life
fully 100, 900 men will continue to be |
needed Ia addition. laws must be |
passed to meet the new requirements
