AMERICA IS IN THE DEAL.
Hi Pleased With Proposed Action
of United States,
UPRISING is ANTI-FOREIGN.

Washington, June 1s.-Among the
foreign representatives in Washington
the information that the United States
probably would augment its military
force in China was received with very
general satisfaction, especially in Eng
lish and japanese circles. Mr.. Nabi-
shima, the Japanese charge, pointed
out that the forwarding of large
military force by any one of the Euro
pean powers would excite suspicion
and opposition, whereas such a course
by the United States was absolutely
above suspicion. While no joint re-
quest has been made on this govern
ment to act yet, he said, the other
powers would speedily acquiesce in the
action and applaud its disinterested-
ness. The Chinese minister showed
the deepest interest in the course of
the United States relative to the dis
patch of troops: but in the absence of
advices from his government indicating
the policy on such movements, he did
not wish to discuss the effect of the
action. The Pekin government is
maintaining absolute silence through
out the agitation.
A report is current in Japan, and is
repeated as such by the authorities
that Prince Tuan is the real head of
the Boxers. The dispatch further says
that all the diplomatic representatives
at Pekin agree that the Chinese gov
eminent is quite incapable of restoring
order and maintaining peace, so they
have sent orders to their respective
admirals to bring forces for the pro-
lection of the several legations.
The Toxic officials express the belief
that the uprising in China was origi-
nally anti-Christian but now has taken
the larger form of anti-foreign.

Cases Must be Exceptional to be Consid-
cred at All.
Topeka, June 1S.-Governor Stanley
declined to grant conditional pardons
to the six lola and Humboldt jointists
now serving sentences in the Allen
county Jail of from 100 to $50 days.
He said that he would consider the
applications further. There are two
cases which he regards as exceptional,
and he may take favorable action on
them. but the others will probably be
turned down.
The governor has make rule not to
interfere in the local enforcement OF
the prohibitory law except in excep-
tional cases. He laid down a rule
when he first took his Office that the
people must rely on their local officials
to enforce the prohibitory law as well
as all other laws, and that when law
breakers are brought to time and
lodged in Jail, they need expect no
clemency from him unless for excep-
tional reasons. So far the governor
has not broken this rule and he told
Attorney Ritter that he would not
break it now.

LEGISLATION IS REQUIRED.
Puerto Rico's Status Unchanged
Until Congress Acts.
OURS BY MILITARY TITLE.

New York, June 16.-Judge William
K. Townsend, in the United States
district court of the Southern district
of New York, handed down an opinion
in a case involving revenue tax on
leaf tobacco from Puerto Rico in which
he declared the treaty of Paris valid
and that the status of the people of
Puerto Rico is that of inhabitants of a
foreign country as regards the consti-
tuition of the United States and within
the meaning of the tariff acts. Judge
Townsend held that Puerto Rico is
part of the United States so far as
countries are concerned, but so far as
the constitution of this country is con-
cerned, is foreign country and that
the United States can govern it with
out subjecting it to the burden of
national taxation and that the status
of the inhabitants will remain I'M
changed until congress shall determine
it.
Judge Townsend said: Before the
war with Spain, Puerto Rico was a
foreign country when it was occupied
by the military forces of the United
States. The conquest of Puerto Rico
under authority of the executive made
it ours by military title. But the
presidents conquests do not enlarge
the boundaries of this union, nor ex-
tend the operation of our institutions
and laws beyond the limits before
assigned to them by the legislative
power. Our boundaries could not be
regulated by the varying incidents of
war and be enlarged or diminished as
the armies on either side advanced or
retreated. In this sense, therefore,
our constitutional boundaries do not
follow the flag"
Judge Townsend said this could only
be done by the treaty-making power or
legislative authority.

A popular color for canary-birds in
England at present is a reddish yellow,
or deep orange. This color, it is said
can be produced artifcially by dieting
the birds on a number of different sub
stances, the chief of which is cayenne
pepper mixed with molasses. Dealers
are able to produce particularly de-
sirable shades by varying the guam
tity of pepper and by adding occa-
sionally little turmeric or madden.
Each dealer has his own formula,
which he keeps secret. The plumage
of the birds thus treated is apt to fade,
and they are kept as much as possible
out of the light.

At the Royal Technical school in
Charlottenburg, Germany, Prof. jesse
has recently tested, with remarkable
results, method of increasing the
efficiency of steam engines, which was
invented by two Germans some ten
years ago, but has only now been eff
fectively applied. The principle de-
ponds upon the employment of the
exhaust steam from an ordinary COM
pound engine to evaporate another
liquid having a lower boiling point
than water. The liquid used is sui
phurous acid. The heat of the exhaust
steam is sufficient to liberate sulphur
dioxide gas, and this, passing into the
cylinder of an auxiliary engine, acts
the part of steam. 1t is afterwards
condensed and goes back to the vapor-
izer. The result is said to be that
to every indicated horse power devel-
oped in the main engine about half a
horse power is added by the auxiliary
engine, without increasing the con-
sumption of fuel.
