KICKED THE FAT IN THE FIRE,
Peace Negotiations in China Set
Back by Hl-COnsidered Mill
tary Operation.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Recent hap
penings in China, especially in the
province of Chilli, have so far set
back peace negotiations that it may
be a matter of weeks or even months
before the peace commissioners will
be able to get to work.
Ill~-considered military operations in
Chilli and elsewhere in China are said
to be responsible for the check which
diplomacy has met in reaching a set
Element. Through the efforts of the
state department, seconded by the
more moderate powers, a steady and
systematic pressure has been brought
to bear upon the Chinese emperor to
bring about his return TO Pekin. The
representations from the great south
ern viceroys to the emperor settling
out the impossibility of supplying the
court with money and food if it per-
sisted in retreating to Tsinan-Fu, in
Shen-Si, was but one of the means
which had been resorted to at the in
stance of this government to secure
the return of the court. All efforts
have been ~neutralized, however, by
the ~spasmodic and unnecessary a%ctivi-
ty. of the allied military forces.

CIRCULATION STATEMENT.

The Beer address to the British Govern
nent is not so much plea for peace as
4 warning to the world that if England
siu aims TO deprive them Of independ-
ence the South African Republics must
fight on. The appeal is earnest and. IN
some respects. convincing. but Lord Sails
bury has returned the only reply which
1t is now in his power to make. England
is aroused as she has not been since the
Napoleonic wars, and a ministry which
would consent to make peace on the terms
laid down by the Boer President would
not live a day.
British armies have been defeated, hun
dreds OF Englishmen have been killed.
and thousands have been captured. What
can wipe out this disgrace but trium-
plant advance through the Transvaal and
a peace dictated at Pretoria?
The spectacle is a sad one, and the
plight in which the Beers find themselves
pathetic in the extreme, but it is GER
tain that nothing but foreign Intervention
can save them now. England will permit
no mediation. She has decreed the down
fan and the eventual annexation of the two
Republics, and the European State which
attempts TO interfere must do SO at the
point OF the bayonet. The Boer Presi-
dents who say that their people viii die

Independence which their fathers won still

Porto Rico asks for justice and mercy in
vain.
The trusts have made their last con-
cession to popular Indignation. and their
creatures in Congress have agreed TO the
terms imposed upon them. The Foraker
bill. emasculated and rendered much more
obnoxious 10 equity and the Constitution
than il was In it's original form, is the
basis Of agreement and is TO be pressed.
As amended this measure will provide for
some sort of civil government for Porto
Rico but will carefully avoid referring to
its inhabitants as citizens, and will not
allow il Delegate in Congress; but resi-
dent Commissioner such as the foreign
country OF Cuba has in Washington. No
tariff Will be levied upon goods from other
parts Of the United States entered in Por-
TO Rico. but fifteen per cent Of the Dingley
rates will be charged Illegally and I'M
constitutionally on productions Of the is
land sent to the American mainland.
The crime involved in this cNaction con-
sists in the fact that although it sounds
like a merely nominal tax. the truth is
that the rate named is absolutely prohibi-
tive to Porto Rico's most important pro-
duction. which is tobacco. "Filler" tobacco
sells in the island al from four to six cents
a pound. Fifteen per cent Of the Dingley
rates equals seven and half cents pound,
or a duty on "fller" tobacco Of from one
hundred and twenty-five 20 one hundred
and eighty-ive per cent. Yet, in the in
terests Of the Connecticut Tobacco Grow

trust Senator Plat Of Connecticut IS not
satisfied with this degree Of unjust and IN
lawful extortion. He would make pro-
hibitlou doubly sure by eZacting six or
seven hundred per cent ad valorem en-
Porto Rican tobacco, although the pro-
posed outrage Is amply sufficient to keep
the island warehouses fun Of the rotting
crops already gathered, and prevent cul-
ture Of the plant in future or rather until
the Supreme Court OF the United States
can settle the matter.

kind Of food they libe-that is. fruit, milk,
cereals. and nuts. Others. descended from
ancestors who accustomed themselves to
meat. spiced food. and elaborate cooking,
are born with a taste for that diet and
cannot go back TO simple food, or to
vegetarian regime. and keep their health.
It is all a matter of individual taste and
requirements,
There is no question that certain rules
of diet can be laid down which the ma
iority of the people in this country would
DO well to obey. Children. especially,
should be brought up according to sys-
TEN dictated by common sense and the
laws Of physiology rather than personal
convenience or individual caprice. One
reason why We are nation Of .dyspepties Is
probably the national custom OF allowing
very young children to eat with their eld-
ers. In the peasant cottages OF Europe
where the food Of the parents is simple,
this might not be so harmful, but at an
American farmers table. where cake, pie.
fried food coffee, and tea appear every day,
it is certainly a pernicious arrangement.
The child begs for the things which it sees
others eat, and destroys all the comfort OF
the family if it is not allowed TO have
them and mixed bill Of fare Of the kind
described is about the worst thing con
ceivable for a baby OF five or six years.
When it is remembered that. in many
cases, the food is not only rich but badly
cooked, one may cease to wonder at the
statement that half the children Of the
country die before reaching the age OF ten
years. There is no mysterious providence
about that sort Of thing. 1t is a matter OF
diet
The two rules which II would certainly
be well for the majority Of the people to
follow are: Eat fruit and cereals, with
milk, rather than pastry and made
Dishes" and, secondly. eat food that is
properly cooked. The patent medicine man
has made more money in this GENTRY off
communities fed on haif-cooked vegetables.
underdone meat. rich cake and pastry and
strong tea, then he ought to have made on
earth. 1t would take a continual series Of
miracles to keep such communities healthy.
True, We do find. occasionally, that strong
men and healthy women predominant in
them, but this comes from constant eXer-
else in the open air, which will develop an
ostrich-like power of assimilation in al
most anybody. The rule, however. in
places where such a bill of fare is com
mon. is that the women are pale. anaemic
and irritable, the men grow old early. and
the children are precocious in more ways
than one.

The American BnI of Fare.

one Of the curious features OF American
life is the astonishing latitude in matters
of diet which exists among the intelligent
classes. II a foreigner should ask what
the American people eat he might be
truthfully informed that they eat every
thing that can be eaten. Counting out the
clav-eatcrs Of Alabama and the snake
eating Indians. and other freaks. one may
still find people belonging 10 the intelh-
gent middle class Nho indulge in all sorts
OF theories about food and apparently live
perfectly contcntcd and happy lives.
There are ycgetarians who extend their
ban not only TO meat eggs. and fish. but
to vegetables which grow downward, like
potatoes. carrots. and turnips: and. on the
other hand there are people who find &c
necessary for their health TO live on meat.
The latest example Of eccentricity in mat
ters of diet is that New York physician
who feeds himself and his family on I'M
cooked food. cooking nothing except coffee
and tea and living maisly on cereals,
nuts. fruits. and uncooked vegetables.
The fact is that the human frame is
Governed By laws partly natural and part
ly artificial. and in some people the sys-
TEN is normal, and In others il has been
rendered abnormal by generations Of arti-
fetal living. Cooked food is not eaten BY
certain tribes Of ssyages and thy are

science Of cooking TO perfection, and he is
also free from dyspeptic troubles. There
