A Few Questions.

Jones: "Supposing now that 1t is
found by this Court OF Claims that the
Board of Health has acted legally all
the way through. Is it the policy OF the
Government to refuse all claims, or
any claims?"
Cooper; THAT is the limit of the
Court"
Jones: 81 ask what Is the policy OF
the Executive Council? If it is found
by the Court that the Board has acted
legally all through, will any of these
claims be refused?"
Cooper: Il don't think 1t is the pol
icy of the Executive Council to change
the laws. We have given an opportu-
nifty for claims to be presented to the
Court TO ascertain the legal liability
OF the Government. II the Court hnds
there Is no liability to the Government,
then that is the policy OF the Govern
ment."
Gear; Has any action been taken
yet to pay the sufferers of the iire?"
Cooper: Nothing has been done ex-
cept to establish the Court OF Claims

mine the legal liability Of the claims"
Achi: IF the Board OF Health went

Claims going 10 be liable for that?"

Washington, Sept. 2.--The state of
the Chinese negotiations is still
waiting one as far as the United
States Is concerned. The powers are
indulging in rapid exchange of
views by telegraph and cable respect
ing the Russia-A1nerican propositions.
As the American note was designed to
call out straight expression of policy
from the various powers respecting
the proposed withdrawal from Pekin,
II Is understood that it's effect has
been TO bring about these consnlta-
tions with the view of gaining
strength by combined action in their
responses. Important Developments
nre not expected within the next day
or two, at least that period of time
being regarded as necessary in or
der that the various elements may
merge. Meanwhile, il is declared
positively by the state department
that there will be no further author
ized publications of any notes now
in process of exchange until COM
plete accord has been reached, or at
least until the subject under consid-
GRAFTON has been finally disposed of.
This attitude has been assumed be-
cause free discussions in the press,
based in some instances according TO
the state department officials upon
erroneous conceptions Of the meaning
OF certain notes officially published,
and on misleading eonjectures as TO
the future of other notes unpublished,
threatens to retard the development
Of the negotiations.
The question Of Ii Hung Chang's
credentials is now said to be ANCIENT
history. II rs pointed out that all Of
the governments involved in the Chi
nese trouble are unit. according TO
their official declarations, i'm their
willingness TO negotiate with the
Chinese government as soon as some
responsible representative OF that
government can be found. When such
a government IS installed IL can IT.
self dispose OF the question of IL
Hung Chang's credentials and IL Is
said 10 be idle 10 raise objections now
20 their sufiiciency in advance of any
meeting OF plenipotentiaries. The
matter relative TO Ii Hung Chang's
threatened detention by the foreign
admirals-also has lost significance and
point. The state department, which
never doubted that Ii Hung Chang
was at Shanghai, Is confirmed in this
belief bya press dispatch Of appar-
ent authenticity published Saturday.
II is not believed that Earl Iii will

London, Sept. D. Shanghai Is again
distributing a crop of rumors. Ae-
cording to reports from that city
Great Britain has furnished Liu kuen
Yih, the viceroy at Nankin, and
Chang Chih Tung. the viceroy OF
Hnnkow, with strong guarantees
against the reported intention of the
dowager empress TO supersede them
on account Of their alleged pro-for-
eign tendencies. The guarantees are
said TO include opposition TO all at
tempts to dismember China.
The imperial court it is reported,
remains at Tai-Yuan-Fu, capital OF
the province Of Shan-Si, afraid TO
move owing TO stories that the Chi
nese troops nre rayaging the country
far and wide and are even numbering
imperial officials who have been try
ing TO join the fugitive imperial
court. The dispatch further asserts
that German legation will be es-
tablished at Shanghai, at least pend
ing the arrival In China of the Ger
man commander.

is not yet ready to publicly declare

Of the city of Rome, which was founded
some time in the seventh century before
Christ, Athens is now more modern
looking than Rome. BERTHE was amazed
to find the queerly dressed Greek peas
ant lads selling newspapers in Athens.
One Of the chief business streets is
Hermes street. Uncle Belam explained
to BERTHE that the modern Greeks keen
their traditions in mind by naming their
streets, their children and even their
dogs in honor Of the old Greek heroes
and deities. Hermes was the god of
wits, of orators and of patrons of the
arts. He was also known as Mercury
and is represented in his statues with
q winged cap and rod entwined with
writhing serpents.
Right in line with this naming of
streets after the old heroes and famous
men is the naming of the children in
their honor. More than once in strolling
about the streets the strangers were
amused to hear Greek mothers calling
to ragged little urchins, Hi, Socra-
tesi" or "Hither, Themistocles!" or.
funnier yet, "Dionysius. Dionysius,
come in and rock the baby's GRADER
All this was in Greek, of course, which
their courier or guide, a handsome
young Athenian, translated for their
benefit.
Overlooking their windows in the ho-
tel they could see the rocky Acropolis
the spot around which clusters enough
glory to supply all the rest Of the hu-
man race. On nearby hill, the Areop-
agus, st. Paul stood when he delivered
his famous address to the Athenians.

Brave Deed on skates.

Few feats of skating have ever ex-
celled the exploit of one OF Napoleon S
officers performed shortly after the
fight at Jena in 1906 The emperor dis
patched an officer to Marshal Mortier
requiring him to seize certain important
towns without delay.
When the officer arrived at the mouth
of the Elbe, where the river is seven
and a half miles wide, he was threaten
ed with serious loss of time. The river
was just covered with ice; therefore, to
row over was out of the question. He
could not cross by the nearest bridge
without going 20 miles out of his way
on roads heavy with snow, and he
grudged the time that would be thus
wasted. So he resolved to skate across
the thin, freshly formed ice.
Had he tried walking he would have
sunk at once; but by skimming along
on his skates at the top of his speed he
got over the river both dry and I'M
harmed. By this daring, if dangerous,
deed he saved six hours, did what Ma
poleon babe him do and won great cred
it for his bold and clever exploit.

Several seas and many rivers bear

which it is covered during the greater

that woman was then held in high hon

Athens, the capital of Greece, is one
OF the most wonderful cities in the
world. Uncle Belam told BERTHE that
one might spend lifetime in that city
and still not have learned all about it.
The ancient country Attica, although
scarcely so large as an American coun-
ty, has had more influence on the
thought of the world than all other
countries, if one may except the little
kingdom of Palestine that lies across
the beautiful Mediterranean in the con-
tinent of Asia. And in these two coun-
tries it is curious to recall that it was
Z mountain from which their great
fame was derived. In Attica it was
from the Acropolis that there went
forth the great gospel of beauty, while
from Calvary in Jud8a of Palestine
emanated the gospel of eternal life.
