This Governments Attitude In China

LONDON, Sept. "a. - The afternoon
newspapers which comment on the
American reply to the German note at
tribute it to political exigencies. The
Pail Mall Gazette says:
''It is a shock to find the government
at Washington holding that the ques-
ton of the punishment Of the Chinese
responsible for the outbralze, torture and
murder Of American citizens should be
left to the initiative of the murderers
themselves, for 1t is impossible to doubt
that the responsible authors are the i'm
perial authorities.
The Globe says:
"The refusal must have mischievous
effect at Picking, Much, however, as
President McKinIey's attitude is to be
deplored, it can have no effect on the
British government, which, of course,
will continue to insist that the punish
ment of the proved murderers shall be
an indispensable condition precedent to
the negotiations.

CHARGED WITH pUPLIcITY.
Germany Alleges That Americas At

COLOGNE, Germany, Sept. -24.-The
Kolniche Zeitung publishes an inspired
telegram from Berlin in which the
Washington governments reply to the
German note is characterized as q man.
fest effort to assist the Chinese govern
ment to accept the proposals with regard
to the punishment of the leaders in the
Chinese trouble.
The telegram points out that though
the American reply shows an 1ndulgent
disposition, it must not be deduced
therefrom that the Washington govern
ment thinks the United States trade
and missionary interests require less
careful protection than those of the
other powers, but that the United States
government is compelled to be indulgent
owing to the unfavorable effect upon the
situation in the Philippines caused by
the transfer of troops from those islands
to China.
For settlement between the powers
and China it makes no difference, how
ever, asserts the telegram, whether
America oo-operates any further or not.
Forces sufficient for all emergencies will
remain available to secure the expiration
demanded by the civilized world.

he doesn't want, paying for it more
than he deems it worth, as q result OF q
wrangle three years ago. Two stran-

stated that they desired a farm in Ra-

ed and they offered him $100 an acre
for it. They asked II they could pur-
chase the farm adjoining, which con-
sisted of so acres, at $50 an acre. To
bind the bargain they gave him $50 and
he came into the city and paid 4,s00
for the other place. The strangers
were to call on him within three days,
but have appeared. ,..-
The 80 acres which he purchased
were at one time owned by him and
were given to his son, who three years

PENNY FINES ON STUDENTS.
French Professor Imposes Them at
Chicago University When English
Words Are Spoken.

Prof. Ingress, one of the new French
instructors at the University of Chica-
go, issued a startling announcement to
his French class the other day. He is
desirous of having his students speak
French and French only, and in his dis
course he told his students that here
after all those in the class must adhere
to French or pay a fine of one cent for
each English word used in the lecture
hour. ! .e~.-
The announcement staggered the
class for awhile, as there are many
who are tackling the language for the
first time. Inside of the first half hour
there were enough breaks and cor
responding fines of pennies thrown
into the professors hat to make a
small boy leave his happy home. Prof.
Ingress insists that French is the only
language tolerated, and the students
are coming to class with all the pennies
they can get from the conductors on
their way to school.
Prof: Ingress comes from McGil1 uni
versity, Toronto, but would not say
whether he imposed the SAME condi-
tions upon his students in Toronto.
