The perGdious Chinese.

We have not the remotest idea that cur
State Department authorities are deluded
by the transparent game which Prince
Tuan land perhaps the Empress DowaSer
with him) is attempting to play upon this
and other Governments; as far as Wash
ington is concerned, through WI Ting
fang. who may or may not be innocent
1t is stated that Secretary Hay has notified
WI that, since it is plain that communica-
ton between Chinese officials at Shanghai,
Chefoo. and in Shartung. with the central
authority at Pekin is not only possible. but
apparently regular. this country insss
that the Chinese Government shall furnish
Minister Conger with means to report to
Washington. If such an intimaton has
been given, WI will know what it means,
and understand that his suppression OF the
oIlinous passages in Prince Tuans edlct
has not effected its purpose.
We are bound to deduce the worst con-
illusions from the fact that not word has
come out from the prisoners in Pekin since
June "a. while SheIg. in Shanghai Eas
been in receipt of messages from the capt.
tai almost daily, while it has rot been d Ill
cult for the Viceroy of Shantung or the
Taotai of Cheefoo TO get orders and ed.ct
and while even Ii Hung Chang at Canton
is in a position to receive Pekin despat, hss.'
The conviction is inevitable that the Chi
nese. one and all. are lying to u.s. and that
the civilized world cannot hear from is
Ministers because the last man of them has
been butchered.
Ultimately. the truth will be known. and
If our wcrst fears are corroborated. such
cry for vengeance will go up from the
continents of Europe and America and
from Japan as was never heard before.
Then 1t will not matter about interna-
tional jealousics. or the cost Of campaign
ing in China. Every civilized nation will
be eager to make any sacrifice necessary
to wipe Pekin from the face of the eartn,
and to make China forever hereafter no
more than a geographical expression.
Just now we have en- immediate duty be-
fore Us in relieving the little International
force which is in danger Of annihi!ation at
Tentsin. 1t includes a few hundred gal
liant American marines who are liable to
be destroyed with the rest. Every effort
should be exerted 10 relieve them. Per
haps the Administration is doing what 1t
can. Tie Aguinaldo rebellion which Otis
crushed months ago may stand in the way
Of sending adequate help 10 Remey and
Waller. As to that we do not know, but
we infer that conditions in the Philip
pines are not as rosy as official statements
would make them appear. Even al that
it would be better to take some risk in
Luzcn, rather than to have Waller and
his brave little battalion massacred. That

1aE sULTAN's NEW wARsH1P.
Admiral Ahmed Pachn Leaves with
Plans for 1t.

Ahmed Pacha, the Turkish admiral sent
by the Sultan to arrange for the purchase
of warship In America, has practically
completed his mission. He leaves this
morning at 10 O'Clock for Philadelphia. and
will go from there to New York. where he
will take the Deutchland sailing for Eu-
rope on the 18th.
Admiral Ahmed has been busy ever
since his arrival in America in consulting
with shipbuilders as to the vessel which
The Sultan wants. Both the Union Iron
Works. of San Francisco. and the Cramps.
of Philadelphia. have submitted plans and
specifications for the proposed cruiser. 1t
is expected that the cost will be about
s1.5C0.0G0 complete with armament. The
admiral will leave contracts here in blank
with Ali Ferrouh Bey. the Turkish Min
lister. aId will submit both bids to the
Sultan. 1t Is declared that the latter win
at once decide on one firm or the other.
and viii cable his Minister here authority
to sign a contract. Ely that means much
time will be saved. In view of the enor-
nous amount of work under way in Ameri-
can shipyards, 1t is not expected that the
new cruiser will be done in much less than
two years.
The vessel will be Of the protected
cruiser class. 800 feet long. forty-two feet
wide. and of $3.50 tons displacement. She
will have an indicated capacity Of 1000
horsepower. and her speed should reach
twenty-five knots. The boat will not be
intended for the heavy work of battle
ship. and her armament will be light.
In the way of armament the boat will
bristle with guns. She will have twenty
two rapid fire cannon OF various size.
They will consist of two 6-inch quick
frerS eight 57-inch u,ict-tirers six
4-millimeter ire-s. ard six f-pounders.
Admiral Ahmed steadily denies that his
visit has diplomatic Importance. and
laughs at the suggestion that he has any
thing to do with settling the Armenian
claims by buying a warship here. He is
enthusiastic over the shipyards Of this
country. and says America can produce the
finest vessels in the world Yesterday af-
terroon he called upon the officials of the
Navy Department before leaving. to thank
them for courtesies they have shown him.

TRICKS OF THE OLD AzTEcS.
Things Observed by n Visitor to the
Ruins mt tSmpl.

(From the New Orleans Times Democrlt.)
"In the fall OF 81 | spent several days
examining the ancient ruins of UXmal. in
Yucatan," said a gentleman who was for
merly in the Consular Service. and during
the visit | made a curious little discovery
which convinced ME that the. old Aztec
priests were adopts at mechanical trickery.
The woods around the main buildings at
Uxmal are full of scattered ruins of every
description, and at one point / found
singularly perfect column. lying in the
midst of what appeared to be the debris
of small house or temple. l conjectured
that the column had probably been the
pedestal of some statue @: ;'r'. wi i t9d
stood in the centre of the ediice and
cleared away the underbrush to get bet
ter look at it. 1t was about five feet long
by foot and half in diameter and was
covered with characteristic carving. When
scraped the top clean of caked dirt. was
surprised to find hole leading into the
interior and large enough for me to thrust
in my thumb. | c1t a stick, sounded it
and found that the hole reached to point
about foot from the base. There it con-
nected with another channel running off at
an angle and leading to a small opening
hidden in the carving of the base. Wkie
was probing the Interior a beautifully
polished circular stone plug. shaped almost
exactly like Jug, minus the handle. slid
out of the lower hole. 1t was made of
nint. and remarkably heavy for It's size
What could have been its purpose Is al
guesswork but the theory that seems to
me most plausible is that 1t was weight
and had once been attached to II cord or
thong leading up through the main boring.
If there was 4 figure of come kind on the
column. all that smacks pretty strongly
of some secret mechanical device, and such
Is the opinion of several well-posted
to whom | have described

priests had idols that shed tears, rolled
their eyes and groaned. ard no doubt the

AFFAIRS IN CUBA.
Prosecution Rests in the Havana
Customs Fraud Cnse.

HAVANA. July 12-The prosecution in
the case of the men charged with defraud-
ing the customs closed today. The fiscal
says that the evidence against Arostegui
and three or four others is irrefutable
the principal Proc. being that the same
class of goods was appraised over ana
over again to the advantage of certain
firms, while the same officials appraised
exactly the same class OF goods correctly
when they were consigned to other mer-
chants.
The evidence of Collector Bliss and the
chief employees proved that it was only by
means of conspiracy among the large
number of the employees that the errors
in appraisement were possible without I'M
mediate detection. The statements made by
employees who turned States evidence,
supported by documentary evidence. also
bore heavily agains some of the accused.
The fiscal will withdraw the charges
against several of the accused owing to lack
of evidence.
The question of the efficiency of the
law in religious marriages is to be settled
by giving clergymen performing the cere-
mony civil as well as a religious ca
pacity.
The local papers, revolutionary. Span
ish. and Conservative express great sat
isfaction over the recent decree reforming
the University of Havana. The "Nuevo
Pals congratulates General Wood on the
reforms, which, it says, are the best that
have been effected since the intervention
of the United States in the affairs of Cuba.
Dispatches from Santiago and the local
papers of Havana express regret that

Caleb Powers. the first of the Taylor
men to be placed on trial for the murder
of Governor Gcebel, has failed to secure
the delay his counsel have been striving
for. and now his case and the cases of his
alleged co-conspirators will go on. This
will greatly embarrass the Republican ma
tional managers. as they had hoped TO find
means of putting eff the trials until after
the Presidential election. AS it is. they
will be compelled to meet whatever de-
yelopments the evidence at Georgetown

Ii should be said that they are quite in

anybody else that the popular vote of the

DENIED BY REICHMANN.
The Captain Did Not Lead Beers
AEninst British.

A complete denial by Capt. Carl Reich
mann, American military attache with the
Boer army. of the report that he led a
party Of Beers in the fight at Sanna's Post
last March has Just reached the Secretary
Of War in a written report by Captain
Reichmann. The entire report is not made
public, but that part referring to the
charge says
Il was very mitch surprised one day by
a telegram from our Consul at Pretoria to
the effect that 1 was quoted in a British
telegram as having led the Beers in their
descent on Sanna's Post. l Immediately
tslegraphed him that 1 had been present
as mere spectator. and mailed him Ger
tifcates from the other attaches to the
same effect; in fact, | was present under
charge of a guide furnished by the Trans
wal Government. Mr.. Hay informed me
that he had denied the story in the local
papers here and cabled a denial to Wash
ington."
Captain Reichmann appends TO his re-
port a statement signed by Capt. J. Alum,
the Norwegian military attache. and |.
Demange. the French military attache.
This statement is as follows
~ hereby declare that l was together
with Captain Reichmann during the

The Abolition of the swcn,.hop.

One of the great clothing manufacturers
Of New York has. it is said made definite
and well-considered motion toward getting
rid of the sweatshop. If his plan proves
profitable it will undoubtedly be followed
BIZ other manufacturers, and it is possible
that this may end in a general improve
ment OF the conditions under which ready
made clothing is now produced.
He has built, near Elizabeth, New JerEey.
a little village, in which some six hundred
workers are TO be housed, while they will
do their work in two factories, with all the
modern improvements in the way of ma
chinery. The work was begun about year
and half ago. and the new village is said
to be nearly ready for its inhabitants. The
houses may be purchased by their oc7u-
pants OF easy terms. and it is desired that
the occupants be owners in as many cases
as possible There are to lie schools of
various kinds, in which instruction viii be
given in cooking, sewing. agriculture. and
manual training: and there will also be 4
kindergarten. The idea is something like
that OF the town of Pullman, but without
many of the defects of that town.
The object of this manufacturer in bald
ing his new village is partly humanitarian
and partly economic. He is man who
does not like 10 feel that his money is
made out the suffering and death of less
fortunate beings. He says OF his plan:
II am convinced that nothing shor, of starting
a new community can root it (the sweatshop)

vet whether il will pay not. II not then the
idea is failure. ] not anxious to re; INV

In my business. There ought to be enough profi,
in so much MANUFACTURED clothing to permit thosa
who make it to lead clean, comfortable lives
Moreover. this wise business man recog-
nizes the fact that. other things being
equal. the man who is intelligent and not
overworked can do better work and more
of it in a given time than the ignorant
and overburdenee one. He wishes to gath
err. into his village the best of the sweat
shop workers-those who are intelligent
