country will not afford either animals
or vehicles and everything must be
carried on the backs of the sailors or
drawn by coolies. The regular troops
with their quartermaster's department
would be perfectly at home in such
SURROUNDINGS. and it is probable that
this consideration will enter into the
probable resolution of the administra-
ton to send troops to China.
BIG BILL OF DAMAGES
Washington, June 16.-It is said that
the operations of the boxers are rolling
up a heavy bill of damages against the
Chinese government and this will be
made the subject of a strong demand
for indemnity by the United States as
soon as order is restored in China. It
Is held that under the terms Of our
treaty with China not only are Ameri-
can missionaries entitled to the protec-
ton of the Chinese government but
even their native converts. According
to the doctrine that we have laid down
in the case Of Turkish missionary
claims the Chinese government can be
held responsible for outrages commit
ted against American citizens, even in
times of riOting, if the government
troops, its agents, fail to respond to call
or participate themselves in the riot
ing.
This is said to be the case with the
boxer disturbances The particular treaty
provision covering the cases of the Amer
lcan missionaries and their native con-
vents IS unique. II is contained in article
70 of the treaty of 1853 as follows:
The practice of the Christian religion
as professed by the Protestant and Ro-
man Catholic churches is recognized as
teaching them to do good and do to others
as they wished done to them. Hereafter
those who quietly profess and teach these
] doctrines shall not be haraSSed or perSe-
cuted, on account of their faith. ANY
| States or Chinese convert who, accord
/ ing to these tenetS, peacea bly, teaches and
! practices the principles of Christianity
shall in no case be interfered with or mo-
| Tested.

Shanghai, June 16-According to in

sources 10000 imperial troops which

It is asserted that the government OF
China does not consider itself respon-
sible for any encounter which may take
| place.
The native banks at Chin-Kiang

Excitement prevails in the Yang-Tst

RusKrN's ART TREASURES.
Thirty of Them Now at Brantwood
 Valued at s15oooo.

Valued at S15O,OoO.
 To speak of John Ruskln,s art trass ures is to think of Turner. The ev. amples by this master ar Brantvood are not now so many as they once were, in large part because of his gem erous gifts to Oxford and Cambridee to say nothing of the famous Loire series which, complete, he gave to the oxford galleries. To the university towns he gave, for instance. several beautiful water colors Of Venice. of ike Junction of the Greta and the Tees which he regarded as one of the very best of the Yorkshire series, the mag nlficent Richmond, Yorks," now in the FftzWilliam Museum, and others. Again, instead of remaining in his possession, "The Slaver," given to him by his father about the time of bis majority, is now in America. Even today, however, the thirty or so Tar- her water colors ar Brentwood. be- side many sketches, each one chosen with view to some particular beauty. pr characteristic, constitute one of the finest collections of the kind owned by an individual. They enable us to follow the development of the artist from 1792, when as lad of IT he painted his own portrait, through his various significant phases, onward to the early forties, when he shaped some of the most wonder-proyoKlng and ez@ quisito of his creations A value of something like f30,000 has been put Hpon the assemblage by one who has recently been at Brentwood, but, in truth, linked so closely as they are to &uslxin's life-Work, while they remain together they are invaluable. Twenty two years ago Mr. Ruskin exhibited his Turner's in Bond street. The epi- logue to this fascinating notes is dated Brantwood, 10th May, 1878, and after ward comes this simple and beautiful tribute: Being my fathers birthday who, though as aforesaid, he sometimes would not give me this or that-yet gave me not only all these drawings, but ZBrantwood-and all se''-Lone don Letter In New York Evening Post

 II seems strange to think that any IuII grown, four-footad animal should tnaolge in play like q child. and yet 'nls is what the otter does. His amusement is tobagganing, and his playground is slope. covered with ice or snow, that goes down grade into pool of water. No little boy. with a new sleG, ever enjoyed coast down an e-bound hill more than this beau- uIui creature from the frozen 'sh. me otter is quite large, sometimes "eIghlng as much as 25 pounds. He resembles the seal and the mink. be- ing, however, of heavier build, and is ooth supple and strong. Living for sne most part in water, he preys on Hsh, which his swimming and diving anlIIty enables him to catch easily. Ahe entrance to his home, which is a OuffoW In the bank of a stream, is >hdef the water. Tn the early spring when the ice begins to thaw, these animals start on their travels from one stream to another, sometimes spend- Ing months on the journey. If they happen to see an inviting hill by the "ayside they immediately stop their pilgrimage and prepare for some sport. 0he of the number leaves the water and slowly climbs the slope, making smooth hollow in the ice with his wet body When the slide is pre- pared, he lies fiat on his belly, thrusta his nose forward, and turning his fora paws under his soft sides, goes sail. Ing swiftly down. His speed steadily increases until he reaches the water. Silently he parts the surface and is lost from sight for a few seconds; then his head appears above the surface and you can hear him give call which sounds like a whistle. This is a sig nal. The next otter assumes the posi- non and shoots down to the bottom to join his companion, who has mean while erawfed out on the ice Then another whistle and the next in ofdes slides and plunges, and the perform aRee Is kept up until each one has several trips to his eredit.-Exchang

Development of the Industry Now
 Going On by Leaps.

Going On by Leaps.
 The silk worm, with its comparative. ly small output, has now a rival in artificial silk" and it was to explain the processes by which this is produced that Joseph Cash, chairman of a fac tory at Wolstea, near Coventry, read a paper at the Society of Arts, says the London Mail. Sir T. Wardle presided. Many attempts have been made, said NIT. Cash, to produce material resem- bling silk, but only recently have they resulted in commercially successful fabric. The earliest imitation was spun glass, which in it's flexibility and brilliancy is excellent for millinery or dress ties, but it's limitations are soon reached, for it can only be spun cer- tain lengths, and it possesses little or ao warmth. Polished" cotton, "mer. eerized' cotton and Pandura "si1k," made of gelatin thread, have struggled for recognition in the market, but eom- p,ete victory seems to be reserved to what is known as #eollodion silk pro- duced by the Chardonne method which $ elaborate. Enormous sums Of money 1t appears had been lost ere the pres ent success was attained two years ago, But now the development of the il- dustry is going on by leaps and bounds 1T Besaneon, in France and in SwitzeT- land. The material has an sven great CT brilliancy than silk, but the warmth is not so great, It is more durable. however, than the natural silk as known to the ordinary customer.
