MUST GET DELAGOA.

London-England's eye is on Delago'

posed as to how she can get it without
bringing upon herself the hostility OF al
Europe. None is feasible.
1t is thoroughly understood that il
Great Britain touches Delagoa bay with
out Portuguese permission, France, Rus
sis and perhaps other powers will forci-
bly warn her of. Still something must
be done. Frontal attacks on the Beers
are inevitable failures. An invasion
through Delagoa bay, which 10 called
the "Boer back doer," would bs great
strategic move. Lord Salisbury is un-
doubtedly planning some move.
There are repeated rumors of antici-
pated Developments, but all attempts at
diplomatic doals with Portugal have
failed. Russia and France took good
care that they did.
The Daily Mail says that it requires
NO great acumen to understand that II
Portugal is helping the Boers by psf-
mitting them to replenish their supplies,
guns, artillery, rifles and ammunition,
The Daily Mail adds:
This war. which has already been
heightened by our lack of preparation,
will be prolonged almost indefinitely.
Though this is certainly not the time to
seek foreign complications, surely some
steps might be taken by our government

Every move Of Lyman J. Gage,
secretary of the treasury, makes
the task of defeating the gold
standard people easier. Mckinley
is weak and has never had the
courage to be self>assertive since
elected to the presidency, SO that
Gage and his associates are using
government funds to aid their
friends as they please. Mckinley
appears to an outsider very much
like a pampered boy who is per-
mitted power, if he does as men
of stronger wills dictate in other
matters. In the matter of the new
possessions of the government, he
has claimed absolute rights to do
as he pleases, irrespective of the
congress. In exchange he allows
a lot of financial raiders to use gov>
ernment money to foist schemes Of
finance upon the people. By all
odds William Mckinley Is the
weakest tool who has occupied the
presidential chair, while apparently
he is the best, simply because he
opposes nothing. which might dis
turb the serenity OF his administra>
ton.

act in connection with the revolution
was to rebuke and threaten the rebel
leaders in the next town for the cruel
slaughter Of the natives loyal to Spain.
The next day he compelled the men Of
several sluggish villages to rally for the
storming of the convent and hacienda
at linus. He levied taxes and paid his
way as far as possible, so hat current
prices remained unchanged in the rebel
provinces. He restrained plunderers
and repressed cruelty with a strong
hand. His popularity was largely due
To the fact that he was simple in his
manner and always accessible. He took
his place in the foremost rank in the
contests in 1896 and 1897. and saw his
brother slain when Lachambre's divi-
sion stormed linus. Since his return in
1898 he has not been under fire, his staff

How the Court Physician of China
HAS to Approach HIS
Monarch.

-
A curious story Of the visit Of Sher
Ben-Fang, the most celebrated native
physician in China, TO attend the EN-.
peror at Picking is furnished by n Shapg.
hal correspondent. An imperial edici
was issued In October last directing the
yiceroys and governors TO send physi'
clans OF distinction TO the capital, and
Chen Jien-FanR was ordered. much
against his will, to report himself 10
the grand council. The account of his
experience is supplied by himself. A
few days after his arrival at Picking
Chen was summoned to an audience.
lie entered the presence of his SOW
ereign On his knees, crossing the apart
ment In hat position, after the Gus
tomary kow-tows. The emperor and
the dowager empress were seated at
opposite sides Of q low table on the
dais and faced each other In that posi-
ton during the greater part Of the in
terview.
The emperor appeared pale and list
less, had . troublesome irritation of the
throat and was evidently feverish; the
thin oval Of his face, clearly defined
features and aquiline nose gave him, In
the physicians eyes Ito use his own
wo~ds) the appearance of u foreigner.
The empress. who struck him as an ex.
tremely well-preserved and intelligent
woman, seemed TO be extremely So
licitous ~ to the patients health, and
careful for his comfort. As II would
have been n serious breach Of etiquette
for the physician to ask any questions
OF his majesty, the empress proceeded
to describe his symptoms, the invalid
occasionally signifying confirmation of
what was said ny a word or nod.
During this monologue the physician
following the customary procedure at
imperial audiences. kept his gaze con-
centrated upon the floor, until, at the
command Of the empress, and still
kneeling, he was permitted to place one
hand upon the emperor's wrist. There
was no feeling Of the pulse. simply con-
tact with the fiat Of the hand, first
on one side of the wrist and then on the
other. This done, the empress contin-
ued her narrative Of the patients suf-
ferings; she described the state Of his
tongue md symptoms Of liberation in
the mouth and throat; but as IL wal not
permissible for the doctor to examine
these he was obliged to make the most
OF a somewhat unprofessional descrip-
ton. AS he wisely observed, it is diff
cult to look at a patients tongue when
his exalted rank compels you TO keep
your eyes fixed rigidly on the floor.
The empress, having concluded her re-
marks on the case, Chen was permitted
to withdraw and to present to the
grand council his diagnosis, together
with advice IA TO future treatment.
which was subsequently communicated
officially to the throne. The gist of
the advice was to prescribe certain ton
les OF the orthodox native type and To
suggest the greatest possible amount
