NEGOTIATIONS.

salu:
British newspapers urge the United
States to take the initiative In landing a
strong force to avert International con-
fiict.''
1t then proceeds to give figures as
to how soon 10000 men could be sent
from the Philippines to China A tel
egram from London, of the same date,
declares that the Marquis of Sails
bury is using every endeavor to have
the United States, through President
Mckinley, "interpose some effectual
check" to Russia. An "effectual
check" to Russia means either
threat of or display of force.
These are the facts of an ugly Sit
uation, as nearly as they can be as
certained. The crisis may pass-it IS
to be hoped that it may. 1t is equal
ly to be hoped that if the trouble cul-
inmates we may be able to keep out
of it, except insofar as it may be
necessary to safeguard Americans
and their interests. But the develop
ments decidedly tend to the fear that
we are facing a grave emergency.
Why endeavor to disguise the situa
ton and suppress what, from present
evidence, appears to be the truth?

FACTS AS TO CHINESE TROUBLES.

The Intelligencer, with Characters
tictic but wholly unsupported assert
iveness, and with it's usual declaration
that everybody who publishes the truth
for the information of the public is
'idiotic," crazy" 'paretic" or a 'lun-
atic,' INDUCED yesterday in a copious
measure of invictive against the Reg
lister because this paper had called at
tention to the obvious drift of affairs
in China, and the relations this gov
eminent might be forced to assume
to the general international complica-
ton now, apparently, coming to
head In it's ardent desire to shield
the administration, and in its capacity
as an organ ready at all times to sup
press facts or distort truths, it de-
nounced the Registers remarks as to
the probability of the United States
becoming involved in the impending
international row, and then hysteri-
cally remarked, with the earnestnes of
one especially commissioned to speak
for those in authority and having
access to inside information:
The United States has no intention of
placing troops in China"
But this portion of a sentence, de-
livered with Delphic oracle assur-
ance, was Immediately qualihed
with the clause:
But the administration is determined
that the consulateS and the lives of Amer
leans In China shall be fully safeguarded
That is ALL
But this is not all" and Tor proof
of this the Intelligencer is cited to
the kilograms sent out from Washing
ton Friday night to all the world. and
reprinted in the great papers of this
country and Europe. in which it was
expressly stated that not only were we
likely to send troops to China, but that
the probable necessity for doing so
was recognized by the government
six weeks ago, and arrangements to
that end commenced. One of these
kilograms, published with extraordi-
A-eA "a III Tic
Dispatch of even date with the Inter
ligencer's editorial, began in this way:
Information of an amazing character
with regard to the preparations of this
Government to send troops to China was
discovered to-day. Upon unimpea enable
authority ii was learned that over a
month ago-about April 20. In fact-Gener-
al Otis was asked to report by cable what
organizations could be spared from the
Philippines army for service in China. At
the same time General Greeley chief of
the Signal Service. was ordered TO report
on how many men of the Signal Corps
construction gangs could be taken from
the archipelago without Gripping the op-
GRAFTON of the lines already constructed .
In his special letter of Saturday )
date Henry Clews, referring to this
matter, says:
Our far-sghted iron and cotton manu-
iacturers are fully alive TO the potentiali-
ties of the China market, and the admin
istration at Washington should be en-
couraged in taking a strong position in
regard to American interests in that part
OF the world. We do not want an inch of
chinese territory; but we do demand the
same opportunities for trading and en-
terprise that any other nation possesses.
We cannot idly submit to any exclusion

AN IRISH JUDGE.
Wit and Wisdom of an Occupant of
the Bench for n Generation.

London Telegraph
Lord Morris, who has served his country
in a judicial capacity for the long period
of SO years, is a representative of one of
the old families known as the Tribes Of
Galway Lord Morris has never lost that
mellifuous brogue which distinguishes
West of Ireland folk. This characteristic
provides the groundwork for at least two
stories told of him. On one occasion the
noble lord. twice an occupant of the Irish
bench, was present at wedding in COM
pany with Judge Keogh. Morris was la
menting that he had forgotten to throw
old shoe after the bride and bride
groom, when Keogh remarked: Throw
your brogue after them; it will do lust as
WE'LL AT another time Lord Morris was
sitting at the Four Courts as Lord Chief
Justice of Ireland, when young barrister
from the north rose nervously to make his
first motion. The Judge had declared that
no one listening to himseif would ever take
him for anything but an I4ishman, which
was perfectly correct. But Galway could
not understand Antrim The Lord Chief
Justice leaned over the bench to ask the
associate where the barrister hailed from.
County Antrim, was the response. Then
asked his Lordship of the official: Did
We iver come across SIGH frightfuI ACCENT
in the course of yer loife?"
When Lord Morris first went to the Con-
naught circuit, where ne had practiced be-
fore his elevation TO the bench at the early
age of 50. he gave many specimens of IS
native wit. At one assize town the judges
arrived late. and the grand jury, after
being sworn in, sent down a true bin in a
very simple case. intended TO ill up the
spare time of the court for the heel OF
the evening. 1t was a case of the abduc-
ton of a small farmers daughter by a
shopkeeper. who could not arrange the
matter of dowry TO the satisfaction of his
sweethearts relations. The accused had
met the maid near his shop. and had kept
her, half resisting. half conserving. on his
premises in company with an elderly fe-
male relative. The offense was therefore
