British Foreign Sc
Cretary reviews
Chinese situation.

In the House Of Commons recen-
tly the parliamentary secretary ol
the Foreign Office, William st.
John Broderiek, made q statement
in regard to the position Of affairs
in the Chinese empire. /" Her mai
esty's minister at Pekin," he said,
shas been in constant communlca-
ton with the Chinese government
since the attack by Boxers on peac-
cable converts and the destruction
Of three villages about ninety miles
from Pekin on May II.
"Sir Claude Macdonald continued
until June 5 to urgently impress the
Tsung-Li- -Yamen with the necessity
Of taking instant and effective steps
to punish the murderers and restore
order, informing them that her ma
jesty's government held the Chinese
government responsible fer the cri-
minal aphathy which had brought
about this disgraceful state ofahairs.
These remOnstranees having no et-
feet, and the situation both at Pek-
in and in its immediate neighbor-
hood becoming more threatening,
her majesty's government on june
6 telegraphed instructions to Sir
Claude Macdonald and to Admiral
Seymour TO take, in concert with
the other powers, any steps in theiI

protection Of the foreign legations a

conferences with the Russian repre-
sentative at Pekin, was empowered

The belief that Pittsburgh stogies
are being supplanted by little cigars
appears to be not wholly true. Deal
ers insist that the stogie-the old
standby of those who refuse to smc.
ke cigarettes, but cannot afford Gig
ars-is selling in greater quantities
now than before.
Smokers have been anticipating
the effect which would be produced
on the prizes and quality Of Havana
tobacco by the new conditions IN
Cuba. 1t is true that Havana cl-
gars will some day be better and
cheaper, but importers Of the leaf
uay that no man can tell when that
day will be. For FIVE years or more,
the United States has been getting
along well with small imports from
Cuba, and noso there seems promise
of a fair aized crop for 1900. But
the product is going to be cast on
an empty market which will be more
than glad to get it-in fact, which
has already bought most OF it while
it is yet in Cuba. Beside this, the
importers are not 50 ssnguine OF the
quality Of the crop, nor yet OF ita
quantity. The planters, they say,
set out too much, and, a. = result,
were unable to care for it properly.
In August, September, and Octo-
ber the Havana tobacco will be
brought to the United States. The
| Cuban planters cut their leaf in Ja-
nuary, and use up the spring and
summer in the processes OF drying
and sweating. In another month,
therefore, the 1900 crop will be rea'
dy. But the importers predict that
the American smoker will have to
wait several seasons before the bene-
nt Of peace in Cuba becomes appa
rent to him.

Automobile Race.

The Chicago Record points sut
that American automobiles are too
light for racing abroad, and re-
marks:--
Thursdays automobile race from
Paris to Lyons, a distance of BIZ
miles, resulted in victory for the
Fhench machine, and the Bennett
Cup will remain in France for q
time at least. The roads, though
much better than those in America,
were described as rough. Probably
the application of the lesson Afforded
by Thursdays race will be worth
more to the American automobile
builders than the Bennett Cup would
have been."

The Constitution and
the Porto RiCan
Tariff.
Able Paper read in Chicago.

The Constitutional questions in
yolved in the Porto Rico tariff are
discussed with much ability by Mr..
Sigmund Zeisler, in a paper read
before the Law Club of Chicago,
He observes that saco extreme posi-
tions have been taken concerning
the power of Congress to legislats
for territory belonging to the UNI
ted States. One view is that Con-
gress may act sOithout any Constitu7
tional restraint whatever; the other
that the Constitution applies to new
ly acquired territory ''ex propio Vi
gore" Mr.. Zeisler accepts neither
If these views; but he thinks that
tho question of the tariff can be set
tied ,oithout deciding between theme
and that the attempt Of Congress to
levy duties in Porto Rico is uncons-
titutional. He finds that the decis-
ions of the Supreme Court make it
clear that in legislating for the To-
rritories Of the United States, Con-
gress is restrained by limitations Oh
its powers contained in the Oonsti-
tution After reviewing the author
tiles, he concludes that Porto Rico
is part Of the United States IN q
fiscal sense, that the treaty with
spain conld not absolye Congress
from its Constitutional limitations,
that Oong.ess has not unlimited po-
wsrs ia dealing with Territories, and
that the Porto Rica Tariff Act lays
duties on exports from the States.

Editors on Questions

The Boston Herald recalls various
defeats of Chinese armies by Euro

'Gn view of the series of disastrous

more formidable to a civilized foe at
present than they proved in the
earlier fighting"

Mr.. Brodriek concluded with den-
wing he had the least intention OF
implying that Great Britain had any
closer agreement with Russia than
with any Of the other powers.

A little girl in Maine owns a cat and
a dog that have formed a strong
friendship for each other and furnish
constant entertainment for their small
owner by their cunning ways. The cat,
when only n tiny ball of fur in ap-
pearance, was presented to the little
girl, who Immediately prepared to en-.
JOY herself by dressing up the kitten
in dolls clothes that promised to fit
him to perfection. He, however, proved
to be a dignified cat, and objected so
seriously to this that his owner named
him Judge, and concluded to take him
with her on her fishing expeditions,
when he could simply sit and keep her
company.
a water spaniel known as Ned also
shared the fun of these fishing ex.
cursions, and the cat and dog would
sit, one on each side of their mistress,
while she fished for the little clubs that
are to be found in the shallow portions
of the lakes. AS each fish was caught
the child would hand it over to Judge,
who ate it and a~nxiously watched the

MIR. AND MRS. ORIOLE.
Like other WeI,-to-Do People They

Summer in the North.

Mr.. and Mrs. Oriole had been winter
ing in the south, having found the rig
ors of a northern winter too trying
for their delicate constitutions. Be-
ing birds of a good social position.
they had sojourned at one of the most
fashionable hotels at Palm Beach,
where they occupied a beautiful suite
of apartments under the caves. When
1t rained a neighboring waterspout &C.
casionally spluttered over them, max
ing their nest rather damp; but bath
ing is one of the fashionable sports at
Palm Beach, so of course they did not
mind it.
Their town house was situated on
the limb of an old willow tree in
Brooklyn. 1t was really a charming
home, and Mr.. Oriole had been his own
architect. Moreover, it was SO shell
tered from view as not to attract cats
or climbing boys.
From my bedroom window l could
plainly see the nest, and every spring
| would watch for the return to town
of Mr.. and Mrs. Oriole. Promptly on
the list of May they would put in an
appearance, and such twittering and
chattering as there would be for a
few days! And such a lot of callers
as Mrs. Oriole did have. One of these,
a handsome and gallant young cock
robin. was most attentive, and l fire.
q%uently observed signs of jealousy on
the part of Mr.. Oriole.

turn to town, a violent windstorm dam

limb on which was the nest. Two or

ing you ever heard. The Oriole family
had returned and were perched on
the limp and swaying limb, evidently
discussing what they had better do.
Presently Mr.. Oriole, accompanied by
his wife, went off. After a few hours
they returned and began moving house.
So l judged they had found a suitable
and safer location where they intend
ed to build another nest. They set
to work to pull their nest to pieces and
carry away the twigs and leaves and
feathers of which it was composed.
Some Of those thieving sparrows no.
ticed what they were doing, and, slyly
waiting till the orioles had flown off
with their bills full of twigs and feath-
ers, they would pounce down upon the
nest and steal all they could. Mrs.
Oriole caught them at it after awhile
and then she and her husband dis
came to a satisfactory conclusion, for
after that they took turns guarding
the nest while the other would carry
of particles of it for their new home.
