China and the peculiarly favorable con-
ditions which exist for their expansion

to the communication addressed to the
Speaker of the House of Representatives

AMERICA READY TO ACT.

Meanwhile, there may be just ground
for disquietude in view of the unrest and
revival of the old sentiment of opposition
and prejudice to alien people which per-
vades certain of the Chinese provinces.
AS in the case of the attacks upon our
citizens in Szechuan and at kutien in
1895, the United States minister has been
instructed to secure the fullest measure
of protection, both local and imperial, for
any menaced American interests and to
demand, in case of lawless injury to per-
son or property, instant reparation ap-
propriate to the case. Warships have
been stationed at Tlentsin for more ready
observation Of the disorders which have
invaded even the Chinese capital so as
to be in position to act should need
arise, while a guard of marines has been
sent to Peking to afford the minister the
same measure of authoritative protection
as the representatives of other nations
have been constrained to employ

THE COLOMBIAN AWARD,

Following close upon the rendition of
the award of my predecessor as arbitra-
tor Of the claim of the Italian subject
Cerruti against the Republic of Colombia,
differences arose between the parties to
the arbitration in regard to the scope and
extension of the award, of which certain
articles were contested by Colombia,
while Italy claimed their literal fulfill
ment. The award having been made by
the President of the United States as an
act of friendly consideration, and with
the sole view to an impartial composition
of the matter in dispute, / could not but
feel deep concern at such a miscarriage
and, while unable to accept the Colom-
bian theory that /, in my official capacity,
possessed continuing functions as arbi-
traitor, with power to interpret or re-
wise the terms of the award my best ef-

Sunday being New Year day sne was
very devoted in her attention. Her
eyes never wandered from the face OF
the preacher. the face that had been
her Sunday study for thirty years. She
was i've years old when she began the
study. The face had never grown any
older to her. There were the same
little semi-eircular wrinkles under the
lobe Of the ear nearest her, which she
had always seen, and the devious
creases above the eyes continued al
ways Of the same elevation, except
that they had grown inwards, tending
to the hor'-rntal ripple above the
nose. and yening at that point.
The sci In. to the mind Of Olive
Thompson, was more beautiful" on
this particular day than had ever been
before.
Now We see through a glass dark

Probably the Oldest compositor on
any paper in the United States Is Wal
ter w. woolnough. the veteran Of the
Michigan press" as he has been called
for years. The venerable typo began
the work as a boy and throughout his
years as editor Of many well-known
papers retained his skill with the
stick" 1t being his peculiar fancy to
set up all his own editorials and other
matter.
Mr.. woolnough, who Is now nearly
ninety years Of age. began his news
paper work as foreman Of the Ashta-
bula, o., Sentinel, the political organ
of Joshua r. Giddings, the famous anti
slavery congressman. Subsequently
they moved, for fear of their lives. to
Rochester, N. Y. where Mr.. Woolnough
remained until 1s45. after iaboring In
the cause.
He then came to Michigan and took
charge OF the mechanical department
Of the Western Citizen In 1876 he be-
came one of the eaitors and proprietors
of the Michigan Tribune. a whig paper,
which afterward suspended. Then the
former editor became q printer on the
Signal of Liberty, a vehement apostle
Of anti-slavery, edited by Erastus hus-
sey, q leader Of the underground raIi-
way system for assisting runaway
slaves to escape.
He passed through various changes
cd 30 1871, when he became associated
with Bodine, the then well-known pol
itician. publishing the Michigan Trtb-
une, which supported Horace Greeley
for president and became the organ OF
the liberal republican wing Of the de-
mocracy. He soon became a writer Of
the most forcible and pungent edito-
rails, which were in demand over the
entire country.
Together with q long career OF mu-
nicipal ofice-holding he was also
leading member of the Michigan legis-
lature before the civil war, but left the
political arena for the newspaper field.
Up to this day the venerable compost
tor, heavily burdened with years and
very feeble, never misses his seat be-
hind his case" at the Battle Creek
Moon once, and stu handles the type
IN a rapid and accurate manner.
