EARL Il HUNG CHANG
ASKS AMERICAN ESCORT

WASHINGTON, Sept. ia cable
| dispatch from Earl Ii Hung Chang has
been received giving the text of an i'm
perial edict, directing him to proceed
at once to Picking and there cooperate
with Prince Ching in the negotiations
for peace, The edict is issued by the
emperor and is dated August q. Sir
Robert Hart, director of imperial Gus
toms, is directed to secure facilities
for the trip. The officials are also
asked to afford Ii Hung Chang protec-
ton and to facilitate his movement
In accordance with this last instruc-
ton from the throne, Earl Ii asks that
request be made for a government
vessel on which he can make the trip
from Shanghai and Minister WI will
probably ask that the United States
designate vessel to carry the Chinese
statesman
The edict was delivered BY Minister
WI TO Acting Secretary Hill this morn
ing. The text will not be made public
until the reply OF the United States is
determined upon. If the United States
decided to comply with Ii Hung
Chang's request, there are now atau-
able for this purpose the gunloNs
Nashville and Princeton and the battle
ship Oregon. The two former vessels
are at Shanghai and the battleshp is
at Woo Sung, the man-of-war anthor-
ing just below Shanghai The cruiser
New Orleans was at Woo Sung nnr.l
yesterday. when she sailed for Slang
hal. She could have been empbvea
for this service to great advantage ow-
ing 10 her high speed capacity. /, IS |
presumed that Earl Ii has asked or a I
United States vessel because of runors
that the allied commanders at raku
had decided to take him into eufody
upon his arrival there. Earl Ii has
had information that Admiral Rmevl
had dissented from such an aree- |
ment.

Explanations TranspOsed.

Senator Chandler or New Hampshire is
known as one of the most exact and
pa'nstakiny If men. He rarely makes
mlsta keS. and has little patience to spare
for those of others. But the willy and
careful senator was recently guilty of Il
blunder which caused him much trouble
10 rectlfy. relates Il writer in Success.
II was nothing more or less than OK
changing envelopes upon two letters writ
ten about the same matter. The story,
as related by his dear friends, runneth
thus:
Once upon time Chandler received an
invitation from Senator Frye to 90 up
to one Of the Maine lakes and enjoy Il
spell OF hunting and fishing. Politics
quiet evenings. Senator Chandler had
other plans. and therefore he indited
two letters, one to his wife, which ran to
this effect:
My Dear Lucy--1 have received an invita-
5 Moind from Frye to go up with him into
shall not accept Frye is a temperance
crank and never has anything for himself
or friends to drink and, therefore, l have
got got out Of the Thus as automatically as
the circumstances
The letter then ran on to detail other
domestic confdences The letter re-
celved by Mrs. Chandler ran merrily
along these lines:
My Dear Frye-I received your invitation
ana am very sorry that l cannot accept IOa
Know Mrs. Chandler is. very disa greeable
ABOUT such things and so l must decline.
Some other time when l can get up good
story to justify the fun.
The first intimation which Senator
Chandler had of his error was an indig-
nant missivc from the wife Of his bosom,
berating him for his ungalant conduct in
holding her uD to his friends as a dsa-
grceable woman.
Senator Frye, fortunately for Chandler,
held his peace, as he did not know
whether or not the epistle was loaded,
and fancied that the contretemps might
be merely one of Chambers little jokes,
which would have an ending disastrous
to Intermediates. The truth of the mat
ter is that Senator Chandler is Just as
much teetotaler as his conferees from
Maine but the other senators who have
heard Of the affair are chatting him I'M

Romantic Tales, F,a!tery and Exa:-

Anglophobism, but if my information is
correct it is not read by the majority for
its news, but for the romantic story that
runs through it's columns. The clients Of
the PetitJournal arewomen to a large ex-
tent, who find their emotions agreeably
stirred by the narrative of love, fidelity
and adventure that meanders through its
pages from the LIST of January to the
3lst OF December. Newspapers like the
Patrie, the Libre Parole and the In
transigcant are read enormously, not I
believe, because they are Anglophobe
mainly, but because they appeal to the
nan in the street, reflect his vanity, ex-
press his irritation and articulate his do
SreS.
Words do not mean to the Latin Ce.t
the same thing as to the Anglo Saxon,
and a great part of the misunderstanding
between the two countries arises from
English literalness and French exaggera-

hatred of things British.

possession since 1910, it is as anti-British
as ever. Out of a population OF $40 900,
100000 are Indian natives engaged in

Early Closing Decrcs in Berlin.


Some three or four years ago a meas
lre was introduced into Germany COM
pelllng trades people TO close their shops
on Sundays. Caterers for household
wants were permitted to open for five
hours in the course of the day, but not
during the hours of divine service. Tn.
police authorities of Berlin have be-
slowed a new boon on the employees of
shops this Michaelmas by prohibiting for
the future the opening of shops of any
Kind after o'clock in the evening. At
hrst there was great cutlery against
the Sunday closing, but the hausfrauen
soon got accustomed TO the innovation
and procured their stores in time Every
body has now at least half holiday on
Sundays. No doubt people will likewise
get familiar before long with the idea
that 3 O'Clock is not too early to let
tradespeople and their employees 20 to
