BERLIN, Aug. 4-Emperor William
this week has been unusually talkative,
especially during the embarkation of the
China troops, besides delivering parting
sermon to a large body of troops on
board ship, promising, from a passage in
the second book of Moses, about the
struggle between the Israelites and the
Amalek1tes, that so long as the troops
and those remaining at home prayed hard
for success against the Chinese, victory
would be theirs. The emperor also yes
terday evening addressed a number Of
Lloyd workmen. The LOkal Anzeiger
states that the emperor decorated them
personally, aided by his officers, attaching
medals to the workmen's breasts, thank
ing them and saying that by faithfully
remaining at their posts, in spite of the
strike of their fellow workers, the time
ly embarkation of troops had been made
possible Next the emperor condemned
strikers and those responsible for lock-
outs In Hamburg and elsewhere, for
leaving the Fatherland in the lurch in
such critical times. Besides these talks
a number of the emperor's utterances
made privately this week at Bremerhaven
have become current, all showing that his

such meager information, and the only
possible theory is that China had either
emasculated the dispatches or invented
them outright. On the other hand, the
German foreign Office vouches the au-

knows the secretarys handwriting cabled
the letter from Won Buelow. The foreign
Office also believes the ministers are Still

actual production of M. Pichon, the
French minister to China, whose name
has not been mentioned or referred to in

next ten days will be an anxious one.
People of the Italian nation would
have been moved to affection had they
been able to witness the evidences of
true grief which was shown here on the
announcement of the death of King
Humbert. When the news was confirmed
everywhere could be heard expressions
of regret at the fate Of the king, who
had done more to bring about feelings
of friendship between the two countries
than years Of diplomacy.
Aumbert had always been the friend
of France, especially under the Crispi
regime. when the feeling in Italy was
one of bitterness Since then Humbert's
manly principles have brought him closer
to the hearts of the French people until
he was recognized in recent years as one
of Frances friends. So much was this
the case that the news of his death
brought fears of possible rupture of
good relations between the two nations
by the accession of the new king. Count
Tournelli, the Italian ambassador here
does not share in this feeling Of inse-
curity, saying:
1.-The relations of France and Italy
have not ceased to be excellent and they
will continue so. The new king has not

The court of the palace is sufficiently

SIGNIFICANT BUTTONS.
In China One of Coral Usually IndI.

Practically every Chinese government
civil servant is mandarin, and there
are thousands of them scattered about
the Celestial empire whose official salaries
do not exceed one pound per month, says
the New York Press.
These are of the lowest or NINTH class
first examination. They usually are
petty officials in one of the custom houses
Before the sixth division can be enter
ed another examination has to be passed.
A little knowledge and a great deal of
bribery having been successful in getting
him through this, the mandarin becomes
a person of some Importance, a sort Of
district magistrate, probably, and his but
ton is of pure white quartz. In this ca
pacity he can supplement- his income
gloriously by substantial presents from
both plaintiffs and defendants alike, and
in a few years has probably eXtorted
enough from unhappy litigants to join
the ranks of the fifth class and wear
transparent crystal button on his cap.
Yet another grade. by the same means,
he may advance in due course, and upon
attaining to the dignity of a fourth
class mandarin a turquoise button is sub
stituted for the crystal one.
Here it is that manv Chinese stop in
their upward career, for before another
step in advance may be made another ex-
amna ton has to be passed, and this
is a terribly expensive process. Should

enters the third class, and his button,
though still blue, Is transparent like
amethyst
BY diplomacy, bribery and cunning the
second class is open to him then, and
with a carved red coral button upon his
cap he proudly governs one of China's
great cities.
He can go no higher then save by OBJ
tanning the GOOD will of the emperor or
the empress. The mandarinship of the
first class is the direct gift of the reign
ing monarch. and carries with IT a red
coral button, plain and smooth instead
of being carved, as in the second class.
There is a title, "Kung." which Is very
rarely bestowed and which is practically
equal to a dukedom. Instead of descend
ing from father to son, however, it goes
back to his ancestors, all of whom are
ennobled en- bloc.
The examinations referred TO in this ar
ticle are usually held in large halls. The
examination hall. or Koong YUM. as it
is called, at Canton, contains 1900 cells.
Each cell measures 4 feet by 3, and is
high enough to stand up in. The fulni-
ture consists Of two boards, one to sit on
and the other for writing at.
The cells are arranged around num-

PARIS. Aug. 1.-The events of the past
week touched almost the whole gamut of
human passions. Parisians experienced
sorrow, genuine and sincere, at the as
sassination of Italy's king; JOY over the
the victory in Africa, which removed
Rahah, the most stubborn enemy os
France in that country, and indignation
and chagrin that the sovereign of TN
other country should have had his life
1eopardized by one of their countrymen
while he was a guest of the nation. So
quickly did these acts follow another,
than the dawning of hope for the safety
of the ministers at Pekin, as revealed
by recent dispatches, was almost lost
sight of, and even the more circumsta stan
tial evidence adduced early in the week
that the general massacre reported was
not an actually, received only slight
credence.
A sinister warning found a place in
the press counselling the government not
to trust the subtle emanations from CHI
nese officials who asserted the safety of
the foreigners, and urging an advance
of the allies toward the capital. Hope,
but not conviction, that the ministers are
alive is the present condition of the pub

The auditing committee of the Building

night for the purpose Of auditing the
books of the old officers. After a careful
examination all was found to be in very
satisfactory condition. b. Albachenten

Sunday next the st. Paul Building
Trades council will give its first annual
picnic at Harris park. Fort Smelling. An
excellent programme of events have been
prepared by the committee, which is
headed by II. r. Leekly and L. ]. Rusk.
Among them is fat mans race Of fifty
yards, and a race to catch creased pig,
for which the one who brings the pig to
bay will have the choice of either a S.

the other events will be cash prizes. A
good time is assured all those who attend.
This is the first effort of the council, and
they are going to try and make it very
successful one. A large delegation from
Minneapolis is expected, and most of the
