Crippled Feet In Chinn

Mrs. archibald Little, an English
woman who lived in western China for
!! years, Says there is growing scmti-
:>ent against the practice Of crignli,c
';e native women's feet. While silC
.ias there they held drawin:-rccln
lettings to discuss the subject and
"ocut 200 of the best Iamilies in Chunr-
king and 1,50O families in the adioiil-
iTg district agreed to discourage the
;r5tom. Men are responsible for the
practice, for the first question they ask
i'll regard to possible fiancee is about
the size of her foot. The engaged young
Chinaman, when he is dining with his
friends, often proudly produces from
the recesses of his capacious sleeves a
shoe TO prove the smallness of his fu-
ture wife's foot. Women with these
crippled feet can walk and run, but, ac-
cording to Mrs. Little, it is almost i'm
possible for them to stand still. When
they try it, they hold on to whatever
happens to- be nearest to them and
sway backward and forward with a
rocking motion.-San Francisco News

WILL PROTECT THE MINES
Should War Occur the Men Will Be
Given Reasonable Time in Which
to Leave-Joubert Anxious
to Preserve Peace,

Pretoria, Sept. 11-President Kruger
mas issued a notice warning Burghers
who intend to go shooting beyond the
river Limpopo, which forms for many
miles the northwest and north limit of
the Transvaal, that they will be Sc
Verely punished unless they first obtain
permission from the local authorities
The tension remains high pending the
receipt of Mr.. Chamberlain's dispatch.
1t is asserted on excellent authority
that the Transvaal government, with
view of keeping the mining industry
going, has decided to protect it In every
way. As first step. the government
has notified the rand companies that
their men will receive protection as
long as they remain peaceful and
should war unfortunately occur. the
men will be given reasonable time to
leave the country if they desire.
1t is officially announced that the art
icle in the gold law about the confisca-
ton of claims and mines belonging to
people convicted of treason or con-
spiracy against the state, which was
last year eliminated, will be re-en-
forced. The article also gives the gov
eminent power to order that the mines
be worked and provides that if this in
struction is disregarded the government
may work them through its own agents.
Commander General Joubert denies
that the department is ordering heavy
ordnance and rifles. He declares that
he is anxious for the preservation of
peace

Spe cal Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Sept. 11.-Governor Smith was
advised to-day by Adjutant General
Corbin that Battalion Adjutant Brown
and Lieutenant Kumpe of the 1st Nor
tana, who have been appointed to posi-
lions in the list regiment of volunteers,
will be entitled to the usual travel pay
after being mustered out of the 1st
Montana at San Francisco prior to en-
tering the new regiment. This will per-
init their coming to Montana for
visit before returning to the Philip
pines.
According to a letter received to-day
by Colonel Sanders from Capt. Louis
Sanders, the list Montana Is divided be-
tween two boats; one battalion is on
the Zealandia and the other two are
on the Valencia. The expectation is the
boats are sailing together and will ar
rive at San Francisco on the Goth. The
governor and staff expect to leave for
San Francisco Sept. 16, while Senator
Carter will probably leave tomorrow.

THEY ARE SAVAGES.
Descendants of Slaves Who Have Lapsed
Into Barbarism.

Into Barbarism.
Special Correspondence Associated Press.
Kingston, Jamaica, Sept 5.-The
bush negroes of Surinam, Dutch
Guiana, have just been calling atten-
ton to themselves in rather sensa-
tional exhibition of savagery.
According to a newspaper published
at Nickerie, in that colony, these peo-
pie are to-day what the Maroons of
Jamaica We're a century or more ago,
with this difference-that they are the
descendants of fugitive slaves, who
have completely relapsed into savagery,
making Goejaba and other territories
occupied by them counterparts of equa-
toral Africa.
The Dutch government long ago con-
cluded to let them alone. The trouble
that has just brought them into promi-
hence grew out of a fishing dispute.
Some neighbors of the Goejaba COM
munity poisoned the fish in a creek that
appears to have been common to both
parties. Goejabans Jnereupon went on
the warpath, but apparently got the
worst of it, for their village was burned
and they lost six warriors killed and
many wounded. 1t is not improbable
that later advices will bring further
details of a general scrimmage in that
district.
The incident is important as furnish
ing the Dutch authorities pretext to
intervene and bring the natives under
subsection to the laws of the colony,
whose peace they menace.

TO BOYCOTT A NATION.
Vigorous Denunciation of the Dreyfus
Verdict.

Halifax, N S., Sept. III. w. Long
ley, attorney general of Nova Scotia,
will issue letter tomorrow, in which
he vigorously denounces the second con-
domination of Dreyfus and urges the
nations of the world to join in gem
eral boycott of the Paris exposition. Mr..
Longley says
The fabric upon which social exist
ence rests is unjust. Every poor human
being who is called upon to tread this
earth for a longer or shorter period is
each moment at the mercy of the stron-
ger power of his fellow beings, and his
only capacity to enjoy life and avail
himself of its opportunities rests on
the conviction that he shall receive JUS
tice at the hands of those with whom
his destiny is limited.
1T is not surprising, therefore, that
the world should stand aghast at the
spectacle of a human being condemned
absolutely without evidence, with a
public trial, in the face of the whole
world-condemned, indeed, in the face
of the fact that the evidence pointed
almost conclusively to his innocence.
In all events, it established beyond
question that his former conviction was
the result of forgery, falsehood and con-
spiracy.
The public opinion of the world has
a right to make itself heard and felt
RACES the sense Of justice. 1t seems to
me that the means are at hand to
make France instantly and keenly
sensible to the moral consequences of
this prostitution Of justice. A great
worlds fair is to be held at Paris In
the year 1900. All the nations of the
world have been invited to participate
in this great exposition, and most of
the great nations of the world have
engaged to be there, Great Britain, the
United States and Canada among the
number. My proposition is that, in
view of this Infamous moral turpi-
ture of the French people, sanctioned
by the government and upheld by the
mob, the other nations of the world
should. one by one, refuse to partici-
pate in this great centennial show.
They could very well allege that they
We're afraid to trust their representa-
tives in a country where an innocent
man can be condemned without a
shadow of evidence and without any
manly protest from the nations at
large"

THE FIFTH ACT.
lola Describes the Verdict as IA Moral
Sedan.


Paris, Sept. 1.-THE Aurore pub
fishes this morning a long note from
Emil lola, the novelist, which is a
pendant to his famous 'JAccuse" let
ter in the early stages of the revision
movement. 1t concludes as follows:
THE ministry which its agents have
betrayed, the ministry which had the
weakness to leave big children with
muddled minds to play with matches
and knives the ministry which has
forgotten that to govern is to fore
see-has only to hasten to act if ii
does not wish to abandon to the good
pleasure of Germany the fifth act of
the drama, the announcement before
which every Frenchman should trem-
BILE.
1T is for the government to play this
fifth act as soon as possible in order to
prevent is coming to us from abroad.
The government can procure the docu-
ments. Diplomacy has settled greater
difficulties than this. Whenever it VEN
lures to ask for the documents enumer-
ated in the bordereau they will be
given: and that Will be the new fact
which will necessitate a second revision
before the court of cessation, which
would be this time, I hope, fully in
formed and would quash the verdict
sans renvoi in the plentitude of its
sovereign majesty"
NJ. lola entities his article. The Fifth
Act" After describing his horror on
hearing the verdict, which he regards
as a moral Sedan, he accuses the army
chiefs of having crushed Dreyfus in Or
der to save themselves from prison,
and makes an appeal to the govern
ment. which, he says, will return TO
France the honor she has lost by the
Rennes verdict, a verdict that he de-
scribeS as "a most extraordinary at
tempt against truth and justice"
He asserts that he knew positively in
January of last year that Esterhazy
was the real traitor, the latter having
furnished Colonel Schwarzkoppen with
numerous documents, many in his own
handwriting, a complete collection of
which is now in Berlin.

A SPIRIT OF O|STRusT
South American Alliance Viewed
With Concern.
1T HAS NO FOUNDATION
The United States Has No Designs Upon
South American Territory-Abso-
lutely No Negotiations
With Bolivia.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE rumors Of
of Central and South America directed
against the United States are received
VIII concern by the officials here.
Nearly year ago this spirit of dis
trust on the part of Latin-American
people was first exhibited in the semi
official distribution of the United
States of Colombia of a proposition to
combine the nations of South and
Central America. In that case the
ostensible purpose was to resist unjust
demands for indemnities by foreign
states. But, incidentally, during the
discussion it appeared that the scope
of the commission would be broader
than this. and there was more than
one intimation of deep seated dis
trust of the United States. Two or
three events have occurred since that
discussion to strengthen this feeling.
First, there was a decision adverse to
Colombia in the Cerruti case, and as
President Cleveland was the arbitrator,
that unpopular decision was charged
against the United States.
Then, last spring came the cruise of
the United States gunboat Wilmington
up the Amazon and the Orinoco. The
voyages were undertaken from the
most innocent scientific and CONNER
cial motives Commander Todd of the
Wilmington found that there were no
charts of the vast rivers. and conse-
quently was obliged to take soundings
as he proceeded.
incidentally, he was enabled to make
rough running charts of the rivers that
may be of value to commerce hereafter.
His actions were, however, mislnter-
preted by some of the natives, though
in the end Commander Todd is be-
lieved to have perfectly satisfied the
Brazilian officials as to the rectitude of
his purpose.
1t is said at the department that
there is not the slightest foundation for
the story that secret agents of either
the state or the navy departments have
been sent into South America, and 1t is
quite certain that there have never
been any negotiations with Bolivia re-
specting the acquisition by the United
States of lands in the interior of South
America.
AS for the visit to that continent of
William E. Curtis, Chief Clerk Michael
of the state department is authority
for the statement that Mr.. Curtis visit
is absolutely without official authority
or direction.
