Speaking of cups, says a writer in the

command was for a time stationed at

a little cabin to ask for a drink of
water. A cordial old woman, with two
long teeth which stood on the outskirts
of her smile, as tombstones for their
departed neighbors, was making soap
out IN the yard, and Hospitality led the
way to thes we'll. A long necked gourd
was the drinking vessel. When the

of those teeth, and, turning the. gourd
sidewise, took his drink from the spot

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Rus
sian ambassador, Count Cassini, who is
just back from an extended vacation
at the seashore and mountains, was
seen to-day at the Russian Embassy,
where he talked in a most interesting
manner on international questions
which have attracted attention Of late,
particularly the present strained rela-
tions between Russia and Great Brit
ain, growing out of conditions in China
and also the attitude of the great Pow
ers of Europe during the recent Span
ish-American war.
1t had been understood that Count
Cassini was about to be transferred to
London, as his long residence in China,
where he represented Russia when
Port Arthur was acquired, would make
his service of special value at this time.
The Embasador says, however, that
Baron de Stael will continue as En-
bassador at London, and he expresses
satisfaction that this will permit him to
remain in Washington.
When Count Cassini was asked con-
cerning the recent reports that Russia
had seized the important Chinese treaty
port of New Chwang, followed by great
activity in the British naval yards, with
a prospect of an open rupture between
Russia and Great Britain, he said that
too much credence was given to these
war rumors, and that present conditions
gave assurance of continued friendly
relations between Russia and Great
Britain. And there had been no con-
firmation, he said, of the report that
Russia had occupied New Cchwang.
He then proceeded to point out that
such an occupation by Russia was
quite unnecessary, as she had already
acquired the most advantageous naval
and military post in that locality, Port
Arthur, and commercial port at Ia
lien Wan. Port Arthur was not only val
liable as a naval and military base, but
it would serve as the southern terminus
of the great TranS-Siberian Railway,
when the project was carried through
1t was being pushed forward rapidly.
and the ambassador says the present
outlook is for the completion of the
railway within three and one-half
years One line runs north to VIadi-
vOstock, where the harbor on the Pa
cffic is closed for four months of a
year While the southern line terminat-
ing at Port Arthur will give Russia a
Pacific port open the year around. both
Tor military and commercial purposes.
During Count Cassini's long service
at Pekin he had an opportunity to meet
the Emperor of China: and to learn
much of the Empress Dowager, who
has recently assumed the direction of
affairs/ He was much impressed with
the ability and force of character of
the Emperor who was weak physically.
in his direction of public affairs Owing
TO the prevailing rules, the Empress
Dowager was never seen even by mem
bers Of the diplomatic corps. But
Count Cassini says she was generally
known to be a woman of much ability,
and as having strong influence over the
Emperor. Her present position at the
head of affairs Count Cassini regards
as greatly to the interests of China.
That it is move particularly favora-
bic to Russia the ambassador thinks
quite probable, as he says it is not at
al surprising that there should be a.
strong friendship between the two

REAR-ADMIRAL SCHLEY.
The Porto Rican Evacuation COM
missioner at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Rear Ad-
miral Schley to-day presented to the
President, the Secretary of State and
the Secretary of War copies of the re-
port Of the Porto Rico Evacuation Com
mission.
In the main the report is nothing
more than al transcript of the daily rec
ord of proceedings of the commission
noting each proposal made to the Span
ish Commissioners and their counter
proposals. and winding up with an ac-
count of the ceremonies attending the
end of Spanish sovereignty and the as
sumption of control by the United
States force
The Admiral is looking thin and
worn, as the result of his labors af1oat
and ashore during the past summer.
He is desirous of taking a rest in the
mountains for few weeks before
undertaking any active duty. AS to mis-
next assignment, he says that he has
made no request, and is content to al
low the Navy Department to decide
that question.
Coming to the Navy Department
about 10 o'clock, Admiral Schley called
first upon Captain Crowninshield, Chief
of the Navigation Bureau, in company
with Lieutenant Sears and Ensign Nc
CaWley of his staff. His presence was
announced to Secretary Long, and he
chatted for a few minutes with Cap
tain Crowninshield until he was ad-
mitted to the Secretary's office The
conference between Secretary Long and
the Admiral lasted nearly haf an hour
and at the end of that time the Ad-
miral quietly slipped over to the White
House, eluding as far as he could a
number of persons who were lying in
wait in the corridors of the Navy De-
partment to see him.

countries having a common border of
some 900 miles
Referring TO the Philippines. Count
Cassini said that Russia felt much in
terested in the status Of those islands,
owing to their proximity to the Eastern
possessions Of Russia. There was no
warrant, however, he said, for the re-
ports coming from Paris that Russia
had been appealed to by Spain with
view to limiting the claims of the Unit
ed States in the Philippines. No such
appeal had been made 10 Russia or TO
other foreign Governments. Throughout
the recent war Russia had maintained
the most friendly attitude toward the
United States, and the EmbaSSador
said he did not doubt this would have
a good effect in continuing the firm
friendship which has so long existed
between Russia and the United States.
In this connection Count Cassini took
occasion to join issues with a prevail
ing public view that England showed
her conspicuous friendship for the
United States during critical state in
the war with Spain by declining to
join the great Powers of Europe in a.
move for Intervention. The Embassa-
| dor says this report seems to be ac-
cepted in this country as a part of the
history ofthe recent war. But Count
Cassini says that no such action on the
part of Great Britain ever took place,
and that the Impeachment of the con-
tinued friendliness of the other Powers
is due to a misrepresentation of the
facts.
At no time, he says, was there a
purpose on the part of the Powers to
| intervene against the United States,
so that there was never an occasion for
such a display of English friendship in
checking the designs Of the great Pow
ers, as is generally represented. He
does not give this merely as personal
opinion, but as an established fact,
learned during visits to Paris and Ber
lin, as we'll as st. Petersburg. While
in no way rejecting upon any, other
! Power, the Russian ambassador feels
that it is but simple justice TO Russia
and other continental Powers that the
consistent friendship they maintained
| toward the United States throughout
every period of the war; and continue
to maintain toward this Government,
should not be obscured by any senti-
mental fiction as to the exceptional
friendship of one nation and the en-
nifty of others.

One Old Maid Thought She Was
Going to Soar.

| Last week old Miss Fussanfethers

| One applicant had been rejected be-
cause he had grandchildren in Canada
who might some time take a notion tc
visit him; another because she was a
