FROM FOREIGN LANDS.

Frankfort-Gen. Count Won Caprivi,
former Chancellor of Germany, died
at Skyren near Crossen. The general,
who has been ill for some time past,
died peacefully.
A dispatch to the New York Herald
from Valparaiso says that the gov
ernment expenditures for 1899, which
have been approved, amount to $685.

Chilean gold, and that the gold premi-
um is 40 per cent.
A letter from Guatemala states the
government, in order to promote the
rubber industry, has issued a decree
offering caballeria of the public
lands, equal to over 100 acres, to any
person having 10000 rubber trees
over four years DID,
Colon, (Colombia)-The strikers at
Panama are still holding out, but the
conduct of the government, in help
ing to maintain transit across the 18TH
mus, in accordance with the treaty
with the United States is highly COM
mended. Soldiers continue to guard
the town and everything is quiet.
Berlin-Influenza is epidemic here
and many of the public officials are
suffering from the disease, including
Baron Won Buelow, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs. The chief states at
torney, Won Moed, is dead Prince
George of Prussia is recovering. Half

pleasure trip, as did Vice-President
G. c. Clarke of the same road some
weeks ago. If these gentlemen should
conclude that Los Angeles would be
desirable location for a terminus of
one of the Vanderbilt roads, the peo-
pie of Los Angeles would participate
sill more largely in the pleasure of
their visits.
When Lieut.. Richmond P. Hobson
was in San Francisco a few weeks ago
Mrs. M e. Threlkeld, president of the
Lark Ellen Home for newsboys, ad-
dressed him note asking him to visit
Los Angeles and deliver lecture for
the benefit of the home. Lieut.. Hob
sons stay in San Francisco was so
short he did not have time to visit
this city. When out on the ocean on
board the Gaelic he replied to Mrs.
Threlkeld that he did not feel at lib
erty to lecture for financial benefit,
even to so worthy an institution as the
home.
I The dangerous character of some of
the hobos who are now infesting all
parts of Southern California Is shown
by the desperate attempt to escape
made by the gang under sentence at
San Bernardino, where it took three
shots from an officers pistol, two of
which penetrated the mans clothes, to
stop a man who was running away,
and who was found when captured to
be armed with an ugly knife which
had been handed to him on the way to
the rock pile inclosure. It is the
safer policy to regard every one of
these fellows a desperate until he
proves his innocence.

Hawk, David Anderson, and ]. A. Co.
mer of Los Angeles, arrived this morn
ing and left in a livery rig for Cajon
Pass. They are mining men, and
from the secrecy with which they
guarded their movements it is ex-
pected that they are on the trail of a
second Isabella They took con-
siderable amount of feed and provi-
sions, but would not even tell the liv
eryman how far they were going.
They are members of the Colorado
and California Mining Development
Company, of which Gail Borden, we'll
known in Los Angeles, is the presi-
dent.
A correspondent of the Pomona
Beacon asserts that to his positive
knowledge rs per cent of the kerosene
oil brought to Pomona is below the
fire test of safety, that it will not
stand test of SO degrees, while in the
East kerosene that will not stand a
test of 118 degrees, is condemned as
dangerous and destroyed. If this be
true at Pomona, it is undoubtedly true
at other places in Southern California.
It is a danger which deserves atten-
ton, and the correspondents sugges-
tion that dealers be compelled to
mark actual test figures on all kero-
sene and gasoline sold by them, and
guarantee the same, is good one

If the French navy has really Sc
cured practicable submarine torpedo
boat the craft will give France a dis
tinct advantage over other naval pow
ers. But it will require more than
harbor experiments to demonstrate the
value of the destroyer. Inventors have
been working on submarine boats for
fifty years, and while some Of them
notably Holland = have apparently
solved the problem theoretically, the
fact remains that no navy yet possesses
q vessel of the submarine type which
has proved its adaptability to the con-
ditions Of actual warfare. 1t Is one
thing to make trial trips in landlocked
harbors, under favorable conditions. 1t
Is quite another to face the perils of
the open sea and a vigilant foe. If the
French have a boat capable of facing
those conditions they have the whip
hand even Of Great Britain. 1t will,
however, take actual war to demon
strate the fact.

Nothing can stop this country but our
own folly. Within ten months the
Baldwin Locomotive Works has re-
ceived two orders from China, the Sec
ond being for sixteen engines. When
we think how vast are the possibilities
Of railroad building in China and how
difficult it has been to make start
there these evidences Of present actlV-
ity are most gratifying. The first road
constructed in the empire ran from
Shanghai to Woosung, distance OF
only twelve miles. It was built without
the sanction of the government, and
was purchased by the authorities and
taken up after it had been in operation
about a year. This was as late as
1876-'77, or only about twenty years
ago. The experiment was not encour-
aging to the glorious fellowship of pr o.
moters. But out of small railway,
whose first section was short coal car
rier, a line of considerable length has
been developed, which now runs from
Tien-Tsin, a short distance south Of
Peking, down to and along the coast of
the Gulf of Pechili. 1t was in 1889 that
the Emperor ordered the construction
Of line from the capital to Hankow,
on the Yang-Tze River, and confided
the task in part to Ii Hung Chang.
Since then the country has been alive
with would-be concessiOnaires, but
their major work has been in the way
Of wire-pulling rather than in that of
rail-laying, and Ii Hung Chang's i'm
perial road has been one of the best ex.
amples imaginable of compliance with
the maxim MAKE haste slowly" But
it is the beginnings that are most try
ing in combating oriental methods and
oriental prejudice, and those sixteen
Baldwin locomotives may be regarded
as effective pioneers Of civilization. 1t
will not be long before railways are
considered to be Indispensable in Chi
ma, as they are elsewhere, and the great
empire should become the paradise of
builders and Of manufacturers of rail
and rolling stock. The United States
must get the chief benefits from this
progression, as we can now successful.
ly compete against the world. In every
avenue Of human activity Uncle Sam
leads the procession. Nothing can stop

"New occasions teach new duties,"
and 1t may we'll be that the new duties
Of peace will prove harder to learn and
more difficult to fulfil than those Of
war. In time Of war 1t is comparative
~ easy to rally all men to the support
Of the fatherland, and the one thing
to do is to win the victory. But in
peace counsels are divided, and there is
call, not for the heroic virtues of the
warrior, but for the tact and wisdom,
and above all, the Justice and truth, OF
the statesman. Our country has not
been lacking in either, and it will not
do for 1t to be lacking in either now.

rado and Sonora, on their wav tn tba

effect of quickening the prospecting

In nearly all mining regions in which

him behind clump of trees, while
Mausers were singing about them,

says, carried the six-shooter with him
through the Santiago campaign, and
used it on Spanish soldier who came

A Los Angeles Soldier Who Went

Capt. George E. Lawrence, who nn-
til the beginning of hostilities with
Spain was in command of the Signal
Corps, attached to the First Brigade,
National Guard of California, General
Lasts command, is now member of

a copy of it with his mother for the
purpose of being able to communicate
with her without great expense. Last

who called on Mayor Harrison to in

Illinois cities and towns, to be held at
Peoria on March 1 and 2.
The Mayor received the invitation
favorably and said he would send it to
the Council with the recommendation
that the sending of delegates will be
authorized. "I'll appoint them and
that is all there will be to it,
'I won't have thing to do with
the, Council" reiterated the municipal
reformer. "It shall not pass on this
invitation-not Council like that on
proposition to reform cities. I'll see
it further first" said Mr.. Gilkeson, as
he withdrew his invitation.

gineering. 1t appears that the practice
Of these professions in Brazil requires
diploma or a degree, and as the for
eign article is very acceptable, some
Brazilians prefer to buy the sheep

marked that it was getting rich by

the Brazilian importer offers, but it is
probable that the authorities there will
be alert enough promptly to suppress

A Useful Dog.

Intelligent dogs are many, but not
every dog, even though intelligent, can
be taught to gather flowers for its mas
ter as a certain Gordon setter, named
Norah, Is said to do. Her master, Mon
sieur Barbat, writes of her in the
Chasseur Pratique.
In June, 1895, in walk beside the
ponds Of Alton, Savoy, friend and
I tried to reach some water-lilies with
our canes, but without success. Seeing
still finer blossoms out in the water,
called Norah, and threw stones toward
them in order to induce her to go for
them.
She seemed to understand at once,
plunged in, and coming and goins
brought flowers enough to fill the bas-
ket. The guards present could. hardly
believe their eyes. The dog lowered
her head beneath the water so as to cut
the stems at certain distance from
the flowers.
This same dog was useful to her mas
ter in another way. One winter morn
ing she entered his study with stick
of wood held between her jaws. She
deposited the wood in the fireplace,
went down the steps and brought an
other, and continued her occupation un-
TIL the supply Of wood seemed to her
sufficient, when she returned to her
place by the fire to enjoy the results OF
her labor. She certainly seems to be
a dog Of practical turn Of mind.

Mr.. Stead reports in the London
Daily Chronicle that wherever he goes
In Europe he finds the governing
classes understanding, and to some ex-
tent using, the English language. At
the court Of st. Petersburg it is the
household tongue; the Car, the Gar
ina and their children habitually use
It In conversation with each other.
There is an old saying that the tongues
Of earth are many, but of heaven only
one. Then the growth of one language
toward universal use-and the English
language Is making it-may well be
reckoned a growth toward the divine
Ideal.

The Pail Mall Gazette remarks: ut
takes bold man to get up and say that
1t Is possible to have too much techni-
cal education, but DR.. Creighton goes
nigh saying it." The remarks to which
the Gazette refers were made by the
bishop of London in his recent address
to the college Of that city, in which he
remarked upon his bewilderment at
finding how many subjects Of knowl-
edge there are in the world. Special
ism in knowledge has come to take the
place of an all-round education Of for
mer days, when, as the bishop says, he
studied things In general" That there
are certain benefits in this speciallza-
tion Of knowledge DR.. Creighton read
lily admits, but he reminded his hearers
that the training in these special sub
jects was, after all, only part Of and
subordinate to the training Of life. Too
much specialization is apt to obscure a
sense Of proportion, and also, as the
bishop says, to dull that mental alert
ness the attainment Of which Is one Of
the highest requirements of true edu-
cation. No one is more helpless than
an average expert or specialist when
circumstances interfere with his fol-
lowing his chosen pursuit. His train
ing has given him special, not gen.
eral, aptitude, which, while at times OF
the highest value, is also at other times
Of practically no value. There Is too
much reliance upon specialism and not
enough upon individualism as factor
In success in the great school of life
a fact which not few clear-headed
thinkers of the day are beginning to
appreciate.
