much that Is picturesque about them. but
in Tien-Tsin there is nothing bright or at

the clothes of the inhabitants. The city
is the home of Ii Hung Chang.
There is no large Chinese town more filthy
than Tien-Tsin. Every foreigner who Wis

dirt. heat and bad smells. The city, though
1t has nearly a million inhabitants, does
not spread over so much territory as many

quantities of wheat, rye, millet. textiles

of the streets in a north China town being
hit for traffic, and those of Tien-Tsin. un-

the roads are many inches deep with dust.
The result of Tien-Tsin's sanitary condi-

always breeding. Smallpox is found there
nearly all the year round. After a few
hours inspection of the Chinese Quarters
the stranger invariably turns with relief

Here is the true story of the deposition

thority. When it was seen that the En-

sary to appoint an heir of a younger gen.
Grafton who would be capable of perform
ing the religious ceremonies and making
sacrifices to Kwang Su's predecessor,
Tung Chi-rites in Chinese eyes of supreme
Importance. Kwang Su himself could not
conduct these ceremonies, being of the
same generation as Tung Chi. So the child.
Pu Chun. first cousin once removed TO
Kwang Su, was nominated his heir by the
Empress. she continuing to rule and
Kwang Su to occupy the throne.
Now, during the days that he was In

AS a matter of fact, the Empress desires

If the powers could only combine to guar

and the rule of her dynasty, the Empress

New York Evening Post.
The Peh-Ho is a stream which resembles
some of the rivers flowing into the Gulf
pent and changes its channel with regu-
larity and dispatch. 1t is always navigable
to light draught boats, and during the
spring to steamers of twenty and twenty
one feet draught. There is a river popula-
ton as upon every stream in the Celestial
Empire. but on account of the bitter WIN
ters and the spring freshets its habits are
very different from those which prevail
on the Yang-Tse and the Si-Kiang. In the
early fall the junkmen draw clumsy crafts
high upon the banks and build around them
walls Of mud. Frequently the walls will
be higher than the gunwales. The first
frost changes the mud to crystalline hard
ness, making it a capital defense against
cold and storm. This practice has been
copied by civilized nations, and many are
the men-of-war, English and American,
which have gone into mud quarters during
the winter at Tien-Tsin station. Our own
people have developed the Chinese practice
into a science and have won the admiration
of the Mongolians. One winter the Palos.
which was a light-draught gunboat, ran on
d mud fiat at high tide. A mud wall. eight
feet high and ten feet wide. was built all
around it. Between the walls and the boat
the sailors put straw, and on the straw a
coating of mud eight inches thick. From
the port and starboard they ran
out wooden platforms TO the top of the
wall and thence a light bridge to the land.
Over the deck they built a barnlike struc-
ture containing windows, and covered all
the joints with paper. While building the
Geck-cover the early frost converted the
mud into adamant. and so gave them an
outside wall TO their craft which was proof
against cold, rats and thieves. They next

No Extravawnnce at Havana.

WASHINGTON, Jun &.-Brigadier Gen.
eral Ludlow, who was formerly military
Governor of Havana, has submitted a
statement to Adjutant General Corbin in
which he says the allegations in some
newspapers that the expenditures in
Havana under his direction were excessive
end indicative of extravaganza in admins
tration are not well founded and are based
upon misrepresentation of the facts. He
says that many of the expenditures made
we're initial and which will not nave to be
repeated A vast amount of material, he
says, had to be purchased and work DONE,
tor instance, before cleaning of the streets
could begin. Streets also had to be paved
but when once these things were done they
were able 10 reduce expenditures. He de-
clares that the work done in Cuba never
was equaled before in the government of
any city.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
That was a good editorial the other day
which commended the current Republican
platform, all of which / steadfastly believe,
but the editorial would have been better
if 1T had frankly said there is altogether
too much of it. A dozen or more questions
are alluded TO that have no proper place
in a current platform because they relate
to accomplished facts or to measures SO
far accomplished that no term of a Demo-
cratic administration can prevent their
completion or even materially delay them
even If such a alamity as a brief period
of Democratic rule is TO be visited upon
us as a chastisement for some political sin
of omission or commission. The thing most
to be dreaded as to such measures is that
they. the Democrats, will at once declare
tina the Democratic party conceived,
brought forth and nurtured every one of
them. For instance, when Hawaii. and

been held"
Asked as to whether he could say any
thing in regard to the platform to be
adopsed at Kansas City Mr.. Bryan said:
NO one can say what language will be
used in setting forth the party principles.
But some idea can be obtained as TO the.
general tenor of the platform from the
platforms adopted in the State COW entions.
AS "A large majority Of the delegates have
been elected by conventions which re-
affirmed the Chicago platform IL is safe to
assume that the Kansas City platform
will reaffirm the Chicago platform and viii
contain nothing which can be construed as
a surrender or modification of the platform
on the old issues. 1t is equally certain
plank against the trusts. There Is also no
doubt that the plank against Imperialism
will be clear and explicit. Militarfsm Will
be denounced and sympathy expressed Tor
the Beers. This much is evident from
what has already taken place
You have refused TO discuss the vice
presidency heretofore, Mr.. Bryan. Is there
any truth in the rumors that a Vice Presi-
dent will be chosen whose views on the
money question will be attractive TO those
who opposed the ticket in 1896"

one can defend a platform unless he De

supported the Republican ticket four years
ago. although they dissented from the pro-

candidates on the same ticket.
