THE CHINESE MEAN FIGHT.
4 Skirmish Between the French and
the Orfeutals

TACOMA, Wash. Dec. 1s.-Hongkong
mail advices state that another Franco
Chinese war is imminent over the delini-
tation of French leased territory at ku-
ang Chou Bay, on the Tonkin border.
This dispute is of several months stand
ing, the French having demanded thrice
the amount of territory that China is will
ing to concede under Frances original de-
mand for an open port there under French
domination.
Marshal Su, China's most famous gen.
eral and the victor of the battle of Liang
Shan. in the last Franco-Chinese war, was
sent TO Kuang Chou Bay with 10000 we'll
drilled troops.
He bore special orders from the Empress
Dowager to uphold the Chinese cause and
fight, if necessary, without further orders
from Pekin.
Marshal Su arrived last month from
Kwong Chou Wan, on Kuang Chou Bay,
and a skirmish between Chinese and
French troops followed his refusal to lon
ger temporize over boundary negotiations.
Half a dozen Frenchmen were wounded
and sixty Chinese. Marshal Su has a re-
serve force of 5000 regulars at IL Khan
and is preparing for big fight. The
French had smaller forces and to strength
en- them have assembled the warships Des-
carter. Bengali, Surprise, Lion, and Dem
trecasseaux.
Official circles at Pekin and Nankin are
excited because President Loubet, of
France. has refused to receive Yu Kong,
the Chinese Minister at Paris, until the
boundary dispute is settled.

HAz1NG TO BE ABOLISHED.
Three Classes mt West Point Decide
Against the Custom.

WEST POINT, n. Y, Dec. 19.-The three
upper classes at the United States Military
Academy have Joined together and unani-
mously voted to abolish hazing. The
..plebe'' class after January l will also
pledge themselves against 1t.
The cadets decision Is the result Of
vigorous crusade, against hazing by the
Superintendent and commandant Of cadets.
Things had come to such pass that the
Superintendent in his annual report to the
Adjutant General called attention to the
evils of hazing and his efforts to stamp il
out.
At first the cadets rebelled and In many
ways made life miserable for the ''plebes."
The greatest difficulty was experienced by
the authorities in trying to discover who
had been hazed When the ''plebe' turned
up in the hospital with a broken jaw or
dislocated knee, he invariably failed to tell
how he had been injured.
One nigh during the summer camp, when
the upper classmen we're so well watched
that it was impossible to haze the fourth
classmen. scheme TO make the 'plebes''
fire off their guns in the middle of the
night was concocted, and was successfully
executed Every ''plebe'' was caught, but
not one would give the names Of the men
who compelled them to do 1t. All were Sc
verely punished.
The dismissal of one cadet and the sus-
pension for year of another for hazing
served to bring the young men to their
senses. There will be no hazing at West
Point hereafter. 81, ..-

AMERICAN SHOES IN GERMANY.
An Increase in Expectation Favor
ably Commented Upon.

The expectation o. American shoes is
the subject Of report by United States
Consul General Mason. at Berlin. 10 the
State Department He sends the follow
ing extract from a German leather trade
paper:
The steadily increasing shoe production
of the Middle Western American States,
through which the market in that coun-
try is to a large degree supplied, COM
pels the shoe manufacturers in New Eng
land TO look more and more carefully into
the conditions of foreign markets where
they may find sale for portion of their
product. The American shoe export trade
has in fact grown much more rapidly in
the last five years than it did during the
same period just preceding, as is saown
by the following statistics of American
shoe exports:
In 1889, SIS, $50 pairs of shoes, valued
at s5S5, ,9O2, were exported; in 1891, So, ,il2
pairs, valued at 500, ,22S. were exported.
and in 1889, 1,sS5,2s7 pairs, valued at
50, 1l1.3S5, were exported.
"Of the exports of 1899, S525, ,242 worth
went to England, s5G4,095 went TO the
West Indies and Bermuda, and s409.C67
worth went to British Australia. Nearly
the half of the entire amount exported came
TO Europe, whereby it is 10 be observed
that great portion of the shoes sent to
England did not remain there. but were re-
exported to other countries.
I'VE have often had occasion to com
ment upon the alertness. the efficiency, and
the keen business judgment with which
the consuls of the United States aid and
support their countrymen in their quest
for foreign markets We know OF no
country whose consular officers are so ac-
tive in this direction; especially we Ger
mans, with our legally educated consuls
find ourselves in this respect at an impor-
tant disadvantage. The American coIsuls
regard II as an honor to serve as pioneers
of their country's export trade, and the
persistent tenacity with which they fol-
low out their purpose really deserves the
highest recognition"

the chief Commissioner in the Swiss
department and member Of the International
Jury ON matches at the Centennial
Exhibition at Philadelphia, and is worthy
the attention Of 5eUery good American.
Gentlemen, here is what have seen.
asked from the manager of the
Waltham Company watch of certain
quality. Heopened before me big
chest. picked out a watch at random
and fixed it to my chain. The manager
asked me to leave the watch with them
for three or four days that they might
regulate it. On the contrary, said
to him, want to keep it just as it is
to get an exact idea of your workmanship
On arriving at Locle showed this
watch to one of our first adjusters -
who took it apart. At the end of
several days he came to me and said
literally: am astonished; the result
is incredible. You do not find watch
to compare with that in $4,000 of
our make This watch, repeat to you,
gentlemen, myself took offhand from
a large number, as have said. One can
understand by this example how it is
that an American watch should be
preferred to Swiss watch.
The wateh movement NJ Edw FaUe-
Perret picked out at random Was q
"RIVERSLDE," and all that he said Of it
then, and good deal more, is true to-day.
