THE TIE THAT BINDS.
Assaults From Without Show the Tender Feel
ing Between Englad and America.

The remarkable unanimity noticed In
london of the approval of both class
rs and masses of the mere suggestion
Of Anglo American alliance, compels
blief In the sincerity of the desire of
the British public for an entente with
the United States. The fact that most
,f the cable dispatches from America
have proclaimed that the suggestion
,as been seriously discussed Is heart
ly welcomed here, and is regarded as
extremely important and gratifying
as evidencing a friendly spirit.
They are" as a diplomatist puts 1t,
inspiring hope that the differences of
he past will be buried and that Anglo
5axons i'm the near future will be found
ssung identical notes to all opposed to
their common interests.
1T Is not any stretch of imagination
10 say that such a union has been longf
I'd for by the best men In Great Britais
FOR many years, not only because of the
genuine wish for closer bonds of friend!
ship; but because 1t Is known fact
that all the statesmen of Europe realize
that n close alliance between America
and Great Britain would constitute not
only the sure guarantee of the peace of
the world, but would afford proof that
the reign of law and individual liber-
ty Is to be extended, for the benefit of
mankind, in spite of the efforts to eX-
tinguish 1t made by reactionary rulers
and governments"

REBEL AGAINST FOREIGN POWERS.
CHINESE INDIGNANT.
sritish Subjects Approached With induces
ments to Join Rebellion Russia
Abandons Port Arthur.

The action of the Chinese govern.
nent in yielding to the demands of
European Powers, has at last aroused
he patriotism of various officials in the
Chinese Provinces. A rebellion Is said
20 have spread to all the provinces
bordering on the Yank-Tsc- Kiang, and
ares are expressed that 1t may prove
20 be the most formidable since the Tai
Ping rebellion.
1t Is professed to be patriotic
movement to overthrow the Manchu
lynnsty and save the central province
rom European control But It Is SUI
;pected that the plot emanates from
he Mandrlnos, who are alarmed at the
prospect of q diversion OF part OF their
picl,ings TO pay the interest on the new
oan. The Pekln authorities are cog
lzant Of the movement; but, distrust-
ing the loyalty Of the provincial sat
-aps. they are helpless.
The conspirators are said to have APP
oroached British subjects with induce
ncnts to join In the rebellion, and they
aave also offered large sums of money
tor arms.
The recent inactivity of the Russians
At Pekn is explained by the fact that
.he negotiations have again been trans
'erred to st. Petersburg, owing to the
difficulties encountered there.
The coincidence Of the French de-
nands being presented on the eve of
The emission of the Chimes loan In
London is much commented upon, and
I Is asserted that France and Russia
ire trying their best to wreck the loan.
Upon the occasion of the last visit of
.he French ambassador to the Chinese
foreign office the Chinese refused to ac-
,ede to the French proposals, and the
ambassador said that when he next
visited the office he would present
stronger arguments, and would even
threaten active operations from Tong
King and the forcible seizure OF coal
ng station.
The general opinion is that 1t Is inn
possible to disregard the persistent
'umors, circulated in well-informed cir
,les, that Russia has abandoned her
attempts to lease Port Arthur, but has
not ceased her negotiations regarding
Fallen Wan.

DIsSECTING CHINA.
Nov France Makes Demand for Privileges
in the Orient

The French made the following de-
mands upon China last week, that
China shall not cede any portion of the
four provinces of Kwang-Tung,
kwang-Si, Yun-Nan and Kwei-Chou;
that the railroad from Lung -Chou-T
On the Northern frontier OF Tonquin
shall be extended via Pase Siam into
the Yun-Nan province, and that coal
Ing station be granted to France at
Lai-Chou-Fu, In the Hen-Chou penin-
sula, north Of Hai-Nan); furthermore,
That the director of the imperial post
office be a Frenchman, evidently with
the view Of separating 1t from the con-
troll OF the Chinese imperial maritime
customs The cessation of a coaling
station at Kwang-Chou Is demanded on
the same terms as Kiao-Chou bay,
ceded to Germany, with railroad con-
cession to include exclusive mining
privileges.
Eight days are allowed China in
which to reply to the French demands,
and threats are interpreted to indicate
the French occupation OF the province
Df Nai-Nan unless the Chinese comply.
The mission Of Shu-King- Chen, Chi
nese minister to Germany, who was
sent to st. Petersburg In an effort to
prevail upon Russia to modify her de-
mands upon China, has been unsuc-
cessful, and there is no alternative but
TO agree to the Russian demands.

chanical construction, and were brought
together without the slightest intimaton OF
knowledge to the manufacturers that such
test was to take place. The practical experts
composing tho Investigating board gradually
weeded the machines down to small num-

company informing the latter Of the investi-
cation made and the decision reached, and
this was the first intimation that the Lowell
company had OF the matter. The
statement that the Lowell Diamond Is the
best bicycle built Is based upon the fact
that every part OF the machine Is made at
their own factory. Previous to and incud-
of the Lowell Diamond was manufactured
for the John p. Lowell Arms Co. by out
side parties, but beginning with the season
OF 1897, every part OF every machine bearing
their name plate has been constructed at the
factory of the John p. Lowell Arms Co. at
South Portland, Maine. This fact easily
accounts for the proven supremacy OF tho
"Lovell Diamond over all other leading
makes OF the world. The Lowell Arms Com

ton street, Broad street and Massachusetts,
