.uN1TED WITH EUROPE,

Whatever may be the fact regarding
the belhcose declarations attributed to
the German emperor in connection with
the murder Of the German minister at
Pekin, there is plainly much in the Ian
guage and tenor of the emperor's dis
patch to the president regarding the Sc
lection of Marshal Waldersee as COM
n1ander-in-chdef in China to sustain the
view that even the most foolish Of the
language attributed to him was used.
1t is plain from Emperor Williams Ian
guage in thanking the president for con-
curing in the selection of Gen. Waldersee
that he looks upon this China episode
merely as a transaction giving him a
chance to exploit German militarism
which has so long been mere matter Of
spectacular display, so far as its influence
on the current Of events is involved. 1.-THE
brave army OF your country" he says,
which have shown Of late such waruke
qualities, united with Europe, will be
irresistible" United with Europe will be

The Chinese government sues for peace
The United States is in direct communica-
ton with It's representative at PeEin. The
advance thus far made by the soIdiery
of the powers has resulted in showing
that there is no such resistance possible
to the Boxers toward the organized mil
itary power that eenfronts them as was
thought available. The relief of Pekin
IS only matter of days. In the interval
anything Is likely, to happen in the direc-
ton Of further simplifying the situation.
Nothing is at all to be apprehended which
VIII have tendency to complicate mat
tiers further. War has not been declared
and is not likely to be unless the loud
talk Of Emperor William is to be con-
strued as equivalent or preparatory to q
declaration Of war. Besides all this China
Is simply helpless. confronted as she is
by crowdins dangers from all directions.

as his majesty expresses it, 1.-The common
cause OF humanity
The sooner Americans see their soldiers
shoulder arms and get out Of China, the
better pleased they win be. Since there
must be a supreme commander to whom
American officers may look for military
orders, Count Waldersee is just as &C
ceptable as any other general. And that
is all there Is in the transaction, despite
the emperor's rhodomontade.

A WE'LL MANAGED INSTITUTION.
The seventeenth annual report of the
workheuse directors is in many re-
spects a very interesting document 1t
reflects infinite credit on the body which
makes it. as we'll as on the very ca
pabfe and conscientious gentleman who
administers the city workhouse, Mr..
John Fitzgerald
The absence of all political control or
influence from the affairs of the ST.
Paul workhouse has always been a spe-
cial feature of city government The In
stitutdon is administered on its merits
without fear or favor and with a single
committed to 1t and to the lessening of
the public expense necessary to Its main
tenance.
The report shows that for the year end
| ing Dec. 81, 1899, the st. Paul workhouse
has been self-sustaining save for an
amount less than $1,000. The fact that
even so small balance shows on the
wrong side is evidently not sat-
isfactory to the superintendent, Fitz-
gerald, who, according to the report, evil
IDENTIFY thinks there would be no real oc-
casion for 1t, If he could control the situ-
alton. 1t Is due, according to the d.
| rectors, to the number of short term
sentences and the number of old and de-
crepit persons who were committed dur
ing the year to the workhouse.
On this latter score the record is per
haps not exceptional considering that
those who are committed to the work
house usually find their way there
through the drink evil, ana that that
evil naturally has a greater hold on
| those who are addicted to it after they
have passed middle life than before.
There were committed, for instance. dur
ing the year eighty prisoners between
f1fty-one and sixty years of age; forty
| nine from sixty to seventy years, and
twelve who were over seventy-one years.
or total Of 1ss prisoners who were over
| fifty-one, out of total OF 1.oz4
The figures of the report show that
there is just cause for the complaint as
to the shortness Of the sentences which
are In many cases passed on those sent
to the workhouse. In this regard Supt.
Fitzgerald. in his report to the directors.

THE JTNRIkSHA MEAN.
Patient Humans Who Draw the
HorseIess Vehicles of JaDan,

From the Woman's Home Companion.
Although the jinriksha is by far the
most conspicuous and numerous of all
vehicles at present used in Japan, and for
eigneIs have come TO regard it as a very
old and Oriental institution, yet as a mat
ter of fact it is only three decades since
it was introduced into that country by
Takayama Kosuke and two others, who
claimed to be it's Inventors, though their
claim was disputed by an American mis-
sionary. However the dispute, it was TAX
ayama Kosuke and his partners who first
obtained government permission TO use
it. 1t consisted in those days of nothing
more than a box supported by four props,
which rested on the axle connecting the
two. wheels. There were no springs on the
vehicle, and 1t was most uncomfortable.
However one Akiba Daisuke, a native
OF Yeddo, and man of much skill in me-
chanica1 devices, say the possibilities in
the then crude vehicle and 10 him is due

the jinrksha the most popular. comfort

carriage that 1t is to-day.
The vehicles built by Akiba Daisuke for
the private use of his richest customers
were said to be works of art and there
have never been, nor are there existing
kept as curious and heirlooms in some
families. The body of the vehicle was
lacquered black yellow green, crimson
and adorned with beautifully colored rep
reservations of warriors actors women.
birds beasts, fishes, trees, arabesques
and famous sceneries, and on its back
the owners name and crest were worked
in gold. The inside of the vehicle was
padded with the finest rice straw. ana
the embroidery was so thick and heavy
that it was hardly possible to see spot
of the original plain surface OF silk or
satin. It would be difficult to give more
than a faint idea of the extreme elegance
and luxury of these exquisite old lacquer
jinrikshas. which are practically extinct
to-day.
The jinriksha man waits at the street
corners and solicits fares, though this Is
contrary to the exact police regulations.
However. the jinriksha man IL not always
as principled as he might be, and has
little II any, regard for the police or his

There does not appear to be any reason
why Romulus should not have an indef-
nitely large number Of successors. In 1897
four zebrules were produced at Penicuik,
and one of these, whose dam was a Shet-
land pony, is described as being in beauty
and in brilliancy of coloring almost an
exact replica of Romulus. AS Prof. Ew-
arts principal object in the Penicuik eX-
periments is to see if an authentic case
Of telegony can be satisfactorily estab-
lished, he makes no attempt to obtain a
second zebrule from a mare that has once
produced a colt by Matopo, but breeds
home-colts from her instead, in order to
see If they will show any signs of zebra
markings But, if any owner of a stud
farm were so disposed, 1t looks as If there
need be hardly any more difficulty about
breeding zebrules on a large scale than
is now experienced in breeding mules. 1t
is uncertain at present whether zebra
sires will prove to be permanently neces-
sary. This must be the case if zebrules
are doomed, like mules, to sterility; but
it, on the contrary, as is quite possible,
they prove to be fertile inter Sc, or even
able to breed with either of their original
parent stocks an intermediate race be-
tween the zebra and the horse may, per-
haps, be established. Fertile bybrids are
already known to have been produced
between the zebra and the ass. THESE,
however, have none of the beauty of the
zebrule, and are credited with even more
than the superhuous share of obstinacy
possessed by the ass. Apart from his
beauty, although that by itself may be
considered to possess a certain market
value, there can be little doubt that the
zebrule promises TO rival his cousin the
mule in powers of endurance. A good
judge of horses has describ-
ed Romulus "a bonnie
colt with rare quality of bone"
and with the dainty step and dignity of
a zebra and it has been declared that
he would be invaluable for riding and
Hardness of constitution and quality of
bone are the two chief factors in the
value of the common mule; but the one
notorious drawback to his usefulness is
his proverbial obstinacy. Should the ze-
| brule prove, as seems likely, to take after
the horse in docility while equaling the
mule in hardness, that alone would suf-
flee to constitute his raison d'etre
But II is in Africa that the part to be
played before long by the zebrule is like
ly to be of the very greatest Importance

jinriksha must always take the left side
of the road where there is a carriageway
apart from the footway; where there is
no distinction the middle of the road is
taken. On meeting other vehicles, horses
or foot passengers the left side must be
taken, but the jinriksha must go to the
other side on meeting troops, artillery or
commissariat wagons. The occupied jim
riksha has the right of way in meeting
an empty one.
There are three classes of jinriksha
men-those serving in private houses,
those plying their trade under
jinriksha keeper, and those
The first named is said to lord it over
the other jinriksha men, He is a pri-
vate servant, and as such it is not neces-
sary for him to abide by the police laws
and regulations regarding his clothes or
his vehicle.
The jinr!ksha man of the second class
has a harder time ofsit. He lives with
great many others in a jinriksha house,
and is entirely under the dominion of his
keeper who receives the fares and is re-
sponsible altogether for the good or bad
conduct of his men. For his services he
receives percentage of his earnings, and
his board and lodging Extra tips and
drink money are, however, all his own.
His clear profits in earnings amount to
perhaps about three yen ($S) month. This
of course is exclusive of all expenses, and
little as it might seem to the Western
hack driver or cabby, three dollars a
month is not so lightly regarded by poor
japanese jinriksha man. The freest but
poorest of the jinriksha men are those who
work on their own account. The majority
of them hire jinriksha for the day, pay

Of these stands a jinriksha man must pay
a pretty good price.
There are over 4000 jinriksha men who
