A Washington, August o dispatch

Importance received on the Chinese
situation. The first word of this cap
ture came in "A brief dispatch to the

Yang Tsun is the town which Gen

as being the objective of the interna-

movement. 1t is at the junction Of
the Pei Ho and the railroad leading to
Pekin. Its capture will insure to the

Money is always attendant upon repu-

paying professions to follow. The

known saying when any one wishes to
indicate that such and such a person Is
possessed of great wealth. Sir e. ].
Monon. our ambassador at Paris, is
the most highly paid Of all those vigi-

sum. and Sir Charles Stewart Scott,
who draws G7,8OO from the public
purse TO represent us in st. Peters,

well paid. Here Is a list of some OF
them. giving the place at which tAey

them for it: Washington, $4,000;
Rome, $1,000: Turkey, $4,000; Toxic,
$4,000; Egypt, $4,000; Teheran,
G5,000-a list taken at random, which
serves to show the large earnings of
our representatives. The English
church is still a paying profession for
the men at the head of II. The arch
bishop Of Canterbury, DR.. Temple, en-
joys, and indeed earns, the nice little
sum Of G15,000 a year, while his COL

term as used In the statutes. Cities
and towns are consequently not bound
by law to keep their roads In such q
state OF repair and s~moothness that n
bicycle-rider can go over them In
safety, This decision was called fortl,
by an action brought against a certain.
Massachusetts, town, because OF per,
sonal injuries incurred by the plain
tinf while riding her bicycle on one of

cycle Is more properly a machine than

that bicycle-riders, injured from acci-

valid claim for damages. The deci-
