not reciprocate. Browns friends knew

looked upon the South as holding monopoly

flying fact of it all Is that innocent negroes have
been subjected to brutalities such as would never

hotels and kursaals, and are scattered in more
secluded places like Pontresina, samaden and
CAMPER. and many this year have gone into
the Lower Engadine TO spend their holidays at
Schuls and Tarasp. The mountain climbers with
unerring instinct have always preferred Pont-
resina, whence the closest approach is made to
the glaciers and the peaks OF the Bernadina
range; and it is there that the broadest views
Of the ice fields and the high Alps are COM

sion Of the Engadine during recent years, are
all along the line from Landeck to Chiavenna.
They outnurnber the English and Americans to-
gether, and supply the bulk Of the patronage for
the scores of hotels in the valley. The English
tourists have not, however. been in usual force
this year. The pathos of the great war in South
Africa has saddened and dispirited them, and
many have remained at home to brood over
their disappointments and shattered illusions

Switzerland on account Of its seclusion and rest

of delight that woos and fascinates every pill

long dehle leading from Maloja into italy, am
tempted to toss behind me a sixpence into the
blue waters Of the lake as I did not long ago
into the fountain Of Trevi at Rome, in the hope
that the benignant genius Of the Engadine may
bring me back again. / N r.

The allied commanders had decided to dispatch
a combined land and naval expedition to Shan
Hai-Kwan, the Gulf of Liao-Tung, leaving
Taku on October 1, the total land force being
400 The American detail had not yet been
made, had a decision been reached as to the
naval force. Now that the order 10 withdraw
has been received from Washington, 1t is possi-
ble that the plans for the expedition will have
to be modified so far a American participation
is concerned. General Chaffee. however, is pro-
ceeding on the opposite assumption, and has
ordered the Fifth Marine Battalion to prepare
to go.
The United States armored cruiser Brooklyn
will probably be the only American warship in
the expedition. The troops viii go by water and
be landed south of Shan-Hai-Kwan. They VIII
cooperate with a large Russian contingent

The news Of the American withdrawal created
a sensation among the representatives of the
