AMERICA REWARDS FIVE TARs
RsOoGnisss the AsrOism Of BrisASh seAilOrs Who Rescued Yaahse f, Crew.

Ths United States government through the Liverpool consulate, has substaitially rewarded five seamen of the Dominion liner Commonwealth for their gallant services in rescuing the crew of the American schooner Leading Breeze, which was wrecked in Hurricane off Portland, Me, Octo- Der gs1o. The Leading Breeze was bound from Boston, Mass, with @ cargo of salt for Eastport, Me, and was in a waterlogged and sinking condition when sighted by the Com monweslth.
 The rescue was effected with great difficulty in heavy sea-. The schoon- CTS crew was thoroughly exhausted and the men lost everything they pos sessed. When they landed at Liver pool they were supplied with all they needed at the American consulate
 Capt, McCauley, who skillfully han dled the Commonwealth while the rescue was being attempted and the second officer, Matthias, who was in command of the boats crew, will also bO rewarded

fourth graduates, They are young men who have studied English and who have started English schools. Their schools have been destroyed by the con servatives, and for the past two years they have been out of employment. All of them, so far as know, are still pur- suing the same line of study, confident that conservatism is thing of the past, that reform must come, and when it does come they will be ready for it. Such men are of the class of Minister Wu-Ting-fang, Lo-Feng-lo and MT. Yu, minister to France. who called upon me few days before he sailed for France. During our conver- sation l alluded to the attempt he had made to entertain some foreigners on New Years day and to serve them with tea, coffee, wine and cakes.
 The conservatives of the tsung-li- yamen would not allow you to enter tain tle foreigners on New Years day aS yol wished" I said.
 "N5," he replied, but this thing will not continue. The world is rapidly slip ping out from under these old mems feet. There are not any strong men among the young conservatives. They are simply hangers-on, and when these few old conservatives die China can easily be reformed"
 The wife of Mir. Wu is Eurasian woman His two daughters dress in Europ aan clothing when they go call ing in Peking. They converse freely in Japanese, Chinese, French and English, as do also his sons. On one occasion some of the old conservatives went to the em press dowager and said to her:
 Do you know that the man whom you have had as minister to Japan, and whom you are about to|appoint as min ister to France, has foreign wife,"
 Has he any children" the old dow ager asked in return.
 Yes. indeed; he has grown sons and daughters
 Then it is late in the day to report him to me. Why did you not report him before? We cannot separate a man from his wife and family, even though she is a foreign devil'"
 1t could not add much of interest to the readers of this paper to describe in detail the other leaders of the con servatiye party. They are Prince Tuan, Lii Ping Heng and Tung Fu-Hsiang. Prince Yuan ia the son of the fifth prince-that is, the son of the fifth brother of the husband of the empress
 
 heard of until her son was selected to be the successor to the son of the em- press dowager instead of Kuang Hsu. His greatest virtue is his conservatism, which is vice. Also his ability as warrior has been greatly overestima- ted

THE IDEAL BED-cHAMBER.
Possible, and Not OvOR-
 kurnAhed

The importance of the sleeIing and bathing arrangements of house is not half appreciated, writes Maria Par loa, in Ladies' Home Journal, giving some suggestions as to furnishing the house. Every bedroom should be pro vided With the essentials for healthful sleep and the daily sponge bath. As nearly as possible, the room should be kept free from anything that would tend to contaminate the air It should be as iarge as one can afford, and the windows so arranged that they may be opened at the top and bottom. If pos sible the floor should be bare and the rugs 90 small that they can be taken outdoors with ease for cleaning and airing. Everything about the room should be washable. The bed should be light and fitted with strong casters, 60 that 1t may be readily moved; the springs ought to be firm and strong, and the mattress of kind that will not allow the heaviest part of the body to sink, and so cause the sleeper to lie in cramped position. My own prefer ence is for a cheap hard mattress next the springs and light one of hair on this, but any kind of firm mattress is better than one that is too soft. Above ell, do not overfurnish the bedroom"

DISPUTE OVER UNIFORMS.
the 0uArtsFmastsFa o1 tAS Army.

There is a controversy going on at the war department over the adoption of uniforms for the enlisted men. Some time ago Gen. Miles, commanding the army, submitted recommendations af- fecting the apparel of the soldiers Among other things he suggested the campaign hat, with broad brim, one side of which was turned up and fastened with a cockade The effect was somewhat striking, and the design was adopted from British design The army quartermasters resented the interference with their work by Gen Miles. They have shelved the sugges- tions from Gen. Miles, and there is A good deal of i'll feeling on the subject.

Indignant Because the Prince of Wales Has Turned Him Down.
Declares He VIII Ride in EAgliSA Races, HOwevsE-LOndOn Field DsDlOres PreASAss of Yankees
 at AewmArkst T1a0k.

Tod Sloan'a temper is seriously rut- fed by the loss of hiS engagement with the prince of Wales, says a Lon don dispatch to the New York World.
 Have you been notified that you will not be retained by the prince of Wales?" the jockey was asked.
 No, but l guess it's true, all the same," was Sloan's reply. ''The feel ing that has been stirred up against American jockeys here by some of the swells and sporting papers is the worst 1 ever knew. The prince could not stand against it, l suppose, and l say nothing against him."
 Do you intend to give up racing here?"
 Il don't intend to do anything of the kind. have still as many of fers to ride from the best owners as want. l ride fair, do my best every time and am not beaten yet. You can tell them that in New York"
 Marsh, the prince of Wales trainer, furnished information before it was communicated to Sloan. and the prince, it is said, has rebuked him for it Despite Sloan's confidence in him. self, this canceling of the prince of Wales engagement is considered the worst blow he has received, aS other owners will surely follow suit.
 The London Field gives prominence to letter dealing with Lord Dur hams charges against American jock eys, in which the writer regretfully chronicles the complete Americaniz- ing of Newmarket. After saying that he agrees with Lord Durham, the writer adds:
 The rank and file of American visitors are an unmitigated nuisance. Visit New market any morning and what do you gee? Huckhoards and buggles In place of Eng lish traps, Anne rican women with two colorsd hair and the comple xion of French clown, the American jockey and his sntourage of h6ngers-un; and, worse than all huge sprnkling of unattached American loafers, who claim they are friends of the trainers and jockeys, but who in reality are gamblers and limberers of the worst type, who have merely sought to find on the English race course a Tom Tiddlers ground where they will not be in- teIfSrsd with by police to whom they are. not klluWn-in fact, Americans during the present season have almost dominated Newmarket It Is English money they have comeafler, and many of them are not very Scrupulous how they get it.

FOR AN EIGHT-HOCR DAY.
Three Thousand Workmen Go on Strike
at Philadelphia.


PHILADELPHIA, May 2.-The struggle
Tor an S-hour work day, which has been
under consideration by the labor unions
OF this city, began in earnest during the
day when, according to Secretary Joseph
Is. Allen Of the allied building trades
council, workmen representing every
branch Of the building trades went on
strike to enforce by a concerted move
ment the demands of the unions. Nearly
5000 men are reported to have quit
work and this number is but a small
representation Of the total membership
OF the allied building trades council,
which embraces about 95 per cent Of
the men employed in the building
trades. The fact that so few workmen
were compelled to strike is considered
by the unions as favorable to their
cause.
