a heavy package uncovered 1t and
found 1t to be silver. 1t had evident
ly been a silver vase or table orna-
ment, but before 1t was packed away
it had been beaten into small bits aud
wrapped in cloth. l estimated it's
value at about 5000 and as there are
no banks in this country l shall have
to carry 1t until have chance to
send it down to Manila. All of the
soldiers need banks here now. On to-
morrow or next day they will be paid

to spend it the boys of course would
like to bank it..
Lottie, Sadie and Bob ought to be

world for lemons, bananas and

live on fruit and sunshine, and they
wear very few clothes In order to
absorb more sunshine. Yesterday
while on our caribou hunt l dis
covered the natives across a small
glade In the swamp, at the same time
| saw two mammoth caribou. A
soldier by the name of Monroe was
with me and we stepped out in plain
view and blew my whistle (sll nom

natives looked around we leveled our
rifles and l called to them to come to
us, which they did. Then l asked
them ComOce este ustay ?n and they
un burdened themselves of their
names and after had written them
down again made use of my miser-
able Spanish by saying "Doso car

the two big fellows and Monroe and l
marched them ahead of us to the
river where we made two of them
jump in each with caribou and
swim him across to a soldier who was
graced with the title of receiving
agent. The natives were then sent
back with boat in which they fer
ried us across together with a nice tat
hog that had run against .me and
killed itself while we were waiting
After we had crossed we permitted
the natives to return which evidently
surprised them as they bowed and
thanked US until half way across. A

Cigars Well yes. They are here

here. They raise the finest tobacco
in the world and the cigar that costs

you can get here twelve for three

that natives, men, women aud child

This is the way Broadstreet's Re
view sizes up the record of the bust
ness year that ends today, and it
makes good reading; Rarely have
sanguine commercial and financial
hopes or predictions found such ade-
quate realization as they did during
1889. Certainly nothing like the
widespread and general upward
movement OF values. alike of staples
and of securities, such as occurred
during this year, could have been
forseen. Linked with an immense
business and a record breaking pro-
duction in nearly all lines of business
and industry, except, perhaps, in
some products of the agricultural in
terests, there was with 1t an advance
of staple values, either of which alone
would have made the year notable,
and combined they have served to
establish the year as record break er
and set up new standards.

CHINA,s BID roR PEACE.
IL Hung Chang Appointed to Make
Terms.

Terms.
Washington, Aug. 14.-China pleads
for peace. Rumors and cabled reports
to THIS effect that have been pub
lished in this country during the last
two days are corroborated by the re-
ceipt Sunday of an imperial edict
from the privy council at Picking,
which is the inner and most august
advisory body of the higd court of
Peking. Ii Hung Chang is made en-
voy plenipotentiary By China to ne
gotiate with the various powers for
terms Of settlement. The great Chi
nese statesman is practically given
carte blanche by his emperor to con-
duct the entire peace programme and
the settlement of the terms whereby
the various powers are to be satisfied
for injuries and damage.
The edit follows: In the present
conflict between Chinese and foreign
ers there has been some misunder-
standing on the part of foreign ma
tions, and also want of proper man
agement on the part of some of the
local authorities. A clash of arms is
followed by calamitous results and
causes a rupture of friendly relations,
which will ultimately do no good TO
the world. We hereby appoint Ii Hung
Chang as our envoy plenipotentiary,
with instructions to propose at once
by telegraph to the governments of the
several powers concerned for immedi-
ate cessation Of hostile demonstrations
pending negotiations, which he is
hereby authorized to conduct for our
part for the settlement Of whatever
questions may have to be dealt with.
The questions are to be severally con-
sidered in satisfactory manner, and
the result of the negotiations reported
to us for our sanction. Respect this"
Secretary Adee, by direction of Pres
ident Mckinley presented to Minister
WI for transmission to his govern
ment the reply of the United States to
the imperial edict appointing Ii Hung
Chang envoy to negotiate with the
powers for a cessation of hostilities.
The text of the reply was not made
public. In effect, however, il is a re-
iteration of the demands previously
made by the United States upon
China, coupled with vigorous init
nation that no negotiations will be
entered into until the Chinese govern
ment shall have complied with those
demands.

means that preparation is meritorious.
If you go into a store to buy an article
that has achieved universal popularity
like Cascarets Candy Cathartic for ex-
ample, you feel it has the endorsement
Of the world. The Judgment of the
people is infallible because it is i'm
personal. The retailer who wants to
sell you something else" in place of
the article you ask for, has an AK to
grind. Don't it stand to reason? He's
trying to sell something that is not
what he represents it to be. Whyr
Because he expects to derive an ex-

you easy? Don't you see through his

the Blunder Is Decentralization for
Chinese.

London, Aug. IA dispatch from
Yang Tsun. via Che Foo and Shan
ghai, tells of an unfortunate mistake
that occurred during the Yang Tsun
battle that nearly wiped out the -Four
teenth United States Infantry.
During the night, while the English
and Russians were Smelling the Chi
nese trenches, the Fourteenth was
brought into position, really to storm
one of the Chinese trenches.
They were observed in the deep
darkness by the English and Russians,
who took them for body Of Chinese,
and Immediately turned their guns
upon the Americans.
The Americans, thinking they were
being attacked by Chinese, fought
back, until some one of the Americans
discovered the awful mistake that was
being made and they ceased firing but
the English and Russians kept it up
until an American rushed into their
lines, in the face of a deadly fire and
stopped the manning of his men.
Ten Americans were wounded, some
of them very seriously, before the mis-
take was discovered.
In the fighting that night ten
Americans were killed and ifty-tive
wounded The British had fifty wound
ed and the Russians ten, including a
colonel.
The fighting lasted for four hours.
The Chinese lines extended from the
railway bridge eastward three miles
II is estimated that they numbered 20
600.
The Russians, British, and all the
Americans were engaged.
Colonel Daggett let a beautiful
charge. General Chaffee estimates
that the casualties and the prostra-
tions from the terrible heat prevailing
amounted to 40 per cent Of the force
employed.
The general advance Of the relief
column began on the morning Of Aug
ust s. 1t is believed this means that
the allies have left Yang Tsun, which
they captured on August 6, and are
now on the last half of the way tc

New York, Aug. 14.-Miss Lillian
laval of Easton, Pa, Miss Mabel CO.
rier of Brooklyn, Miss Maud Miller
of New York and Fred Schurtz of Ne
wark, N. j., suffered an uncomfortable
experience in an abandoned iron mine
recently near Lake Hopatcong, N. j.
The four went, after luncheon, to ex-
plore an old shaft at Point Comfort.
In answer to the apprehensions of a
friend Miss laval said: "If we are
not back by dinner time, you can or
ganize a party and come to our res
cue" When the party had not re-
turned by 8 o'clock a searching party
was formed by the thoroughly fright
ened friends of the young people. The
searchers entered the gloomy mine
we'll provided with lights and after a
time came upon the three young wo-
men and their escort. They had lost
their way and while endeavoring to
find some exit their oil in the bicycle
lamps they carried had become ex-
hausted, leaving them in total dark
ness. The four had been imprisoned
eight hours.

The rigging up of cipher code is
said to be the most simple thing in the
worldly those who know nothing
about it. Those the larger govern
ments possess have taken years to put
together, and some of the most compe-
tent minds have been employed in their
construction, says the New York Mail
and Express.
Notwithstanding the claims of many
newspapers. there is not a single code
book that fully meets the requirements
of newspaper work. During the war
with Spain many of the correspondents
invented what is known as a blind
code, and tho representatives of GER
tain metropolitan daily, who claims to
have the finest code in the business,
yelled their heads off trying to call the
censor's attention to the fact that the
other fellow was using a blind code.
This was because nothing could be
found in "the finest code in the bust
ness" to convey the ideas of the cor
respondents of the sheet to their Office.

DIsTAsrEFUL TO THE FRENCH.
Do Not Like the Selection OF Count Won
Waldersee.

halderSee.
New York, Aug. IA dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: Des-
pite the assertions so confidently re-
peated that all the powers have &C
copied the unconditional appointment
of Count Won Waldersee as comman-
der-in-chief of the allied forces in
China it is still believei here that sew
eral governments have given consent
to the counts nomination with i'm
portant limitations on his freedom of
action.
1t is pointed out in Paris and by
responsible statesmen like NJ. Meline,
that under the law Of February, 1914,
no foreign officer can hold, even nomi-
nally or Professionally, command Of
any body Of French troops. At pres
ent the counts commission from the
powers would make him rather chief
of a council of officers than comman-
der-in-chief in the accepted sense o.
the term.
No doubt when the allied army is
actually engaged in battle with the
Chinese the German field marshal will
be in command and his tactical dis
positions will be carried out by all
ranks and nationalities, but on the
larger questions of strategy and policy
the attitude of the chiefs of the vari-
Gus foreign contingents will be largely
determined by instructions from home.
1t is possible, however, that before
Count Won Waldersee reaches the Pei
no a more definite understanding be-
tween the powers as to their objects
and purposes in China will have been
reached. 1t has been stated in a
quarter we'll informed on continental
politics that the first suggestion for
the appointment of Count Won Walder-
see was made by the car in an auto
graph letter to the German emperor
This may be true, but, If so, st. Peters
burg was only returning to Berlin a
hint quietly received from that capt.
tai. The statement of some of the
German newspapers that the sugges-
ton first came from England is, Of
course, absurd. On the contrary the
British government was by no means
in hurry to express approval of the
proposal, which it at first approached
with considerable hesitation.
