PLEA OF A TRAMP.
Tells Police Court Why He Should
Not Be Sentenced.

James Steliing. a one-1egged tramp,
who was arrested as a suspect. was
arraigned in police court last evening
on the charge of vagrancy. He startled
the court with the following carefully
prepared speech:
1t says somewhere in the Bib1e-I
can't just say where-that man look
eth upon the outward appearance, but
God looketh upon the heart Some one
has also said. The coat doesn't make
the man Since the United States laws.
50 far as have been able to understand
them, have been founded and framed
upon the teachings and moral code Of
the scriptures. wish to ask the court
if there is any law Of our country or
any ordinance of your city that makes
poverty a crime You will doubtless adj
NIT that strong and sound men have at
times furnished reasonable excuse for
being IN hard circumstances While
this is true of sound men it should be
doubly true OF man in my physical
condition Yet while I may have the
appearance of a tramp, the fact that
/ have conducted myself as a gentle
man, have used nc offensive or disre-
fully paid my way since arriving in
your city. should be ample proof that
1 still retain at least some TO the quail
ties OF a Well-meaning, laW-abiding and
worthy citizen of the United States. So
far as am able to conceive, am
guilty of no offense, if such it be, save
mere poverty: but, however, being a
true American, / am willing and ever
anxious TO pay the penalty for such
offense."
Five dollars said Judge Magaw.

STARTLING RUMOR.
Germany Seeks to Make San Fran
cisco War Base of Supplies.

New York, Aug. 25.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The report telegraphed from Washing
ton that Germany is preparing TO MAKE
San Francisco a base of supplies VIII WITH = =
view to sending very powerful army ~.
to China has attracted considerable a. a.
tention. Your correspondent mas Ils4S s1
inquiries on the subject in shipping CIR -
cles and finds that German orders AoT
stores and provisions are sufficiently e4-
tensive to lend probability to TINS flilol- f,
1t certainly would not surprise the dlpio-
matte authorities here if the German
force should eventually reach total OF
10000 or $4,000 men.
Some importance may possibly De at
tached to the meeting which the Prince
of Wales had with the German enperoI
yesterday. The prince, IN company ~, VIII =,
the Duke of Cambridge VINO, II Win DS
remembered. preceded Lord WolSeley aS
communicative chief of the British army,
drove from Homburg to castle FRED
erichsdorp to meet the emperor
and empress Frederick Subse-
quently the emperor accompanied the
prince and duke back to Homburg ana
had a long private conversation with
them at their hotel II Is commonly ul-
derstood that the British heir apparent
does not interfere in political matters
and in a general way this is true but IN
their foreign policies there IS a goou
deal of private communication between
the English and German courts and IT
is extremely likely that the kaiser ana
his uncle discussed the outlines OF
Chinese policy Wn1cn may De pursued
by their respective empires. On more
than one previous occasion the prince
has been employed as a kind Of dtgni-
fed and superior foreign office messen-
ger able to say to the German emperor
what could not conveniently be conveyed
through ordinary diplomatic channels
In the present crisis Lord Salisbury may
have induced the i1lustrious tourist TO
take advantage of his visit to Homburg
to point out to his imperial relative that
unnecessarily aggressive or violent ac-
ton in China would be extremely dis
tasteful to Great Britain. The German
emperor has views about the alleged
'.yellow danger which have never been
shared by the English premier
The continued absence of direct teie-
graphic news from Pelxin during the last
Jew days together with reports of fur
ther fighting near Tien Tisin is causing
some anxiety. 1t is not, however, thought
that the allied contingents can have any
real difficulty in clearing their line of
communications, even If the Chinese
should have gathered in force in their
rear. What is in reality more disturbing
is the state of affairs in the central and
southern provinces Hong Kong tele-
grams received here yesterday were dis
riOting has occurred in Foo Kien and
Kiang Sc provinces, where the missions
have been attacked and plundered. The
disorder at SwatoW has also been grave
and a French gunb0at landed a body of
blue jackets and marines to protect mis-
sions, while the Japanese have been
patrolling at Annoy. It would almost
seem as if an allied force would be re-
Quired in every one of the treaty ports.
