NO HOLLERING IN BROOKLYN.
A Manhattan Lawyers Experience with a Deaf Client Across
 the Big Bridge.

"One of my clients is deaf" said a downtown lawyer, according to the New York Sun, "and thereby hangs a story of my trouble with a policeman in Brooklyn. My client sent one day for me to see him on business in his house over the bridge, and I was de- tained until late hour. When l left he thought it would be in conformity with a Brooklyn custom to see me to my car. It was crisp night, and we stood on the corner. I was doing the talking. He did his share, but it was not noticeable. The stiffness of the hour made my loud tones sound like a megaphone in action.
 The cop on the beat came around the corner and said we must move along. Naturally I resented this. I said I had the privilege of talking to my client in the street if wanted to. The cop said 1t was no time or place to be talking business. especially when such talk dis turbed the peace. He said if wanted to talk needn't, as he expressed it, holler as if was trying to hail steam boat. It then occurred to me that I had been yelling along the quiet thorough fare of the church city. explained to the cop that my client was as deaf as cigar store Indian. but the cop said that was no excuse, and I could do noth- ing but obey his order.
 Don't let me hear you hollerin' any more on this side of the river said the cop, as moved on.''

THE TATTOOED CRUCIFIX.
How Lieut. Commander Gilmore Wa, Saved from Execution in the
 Philippines.

For the first time since we had been on the march, says Lieutenant Com mander Gilmore in McClure's. the Filipino lieutenant separated his camp from ours. He also doubled his guard stationing his soldiers in the rocks which surrounded us. Thinking all this somewhat peculiar, I sent one of the men to ask if he placed the guards for our protection.
 "No." was his laconic answer. Soon afterward he came himself to ou, camp. and through an interpreter calmly informed me thai he had or ders, presumably from Gen. Tino, to execute us in the mountains.
 I have always believed that the lieu tenants refusal to obey orders and ex- ecute us was due to the effect pro- duced in his mind by an incident which had occurred a night or two earlier At one of our stops he~had shown nIe a crucifiN, which he wore hung by ribbon around his neck, and said tc me: "The 'Americanos' are not Chris tions.'
 ''Oh, yes,' l replied. "All the Amer jeans are Christians
 But you never wear any crucl1lNes-
 I opened my jacket and showed him my breast. A crucifN had been tat tooed there years ago. when l was a mi6shipman. The Tagal leaped to his feet with an exclamation of surprise. lie instantly crossed himself. His eyes nearly started out of his head. I ex- p aimed to him that anyone could buy a crucifN and hang it around his neck, but that I had endured pain to have my crucifN priclled in the flesh. and that. as he could see. it must always be with me. There was a marked change in his manner toward Iae after that.

Held Rcfor1ner to His Word.

When beggar asked Philadelphia stationer the other day for help, the latter offered him two lead pencils, say ing: with half the effort required in begging you can easily sell these for five cents apiece" The beggar gazed at the pencils scornfully. Who'd give me five cents for them?'' he demanded. "Why, anybody" said the stationer. -Go out and try it." Would you? ?" asked the beggar. "Why, certainly" was the reply. A smile of triumph spread over the grimy features of the mendicant. Here you are, then" he said. Gimme the ten cents. You can't go back on your own word" It took the stationer several minutes to recover his breath. but lie finally en- tered into the deal, and hereafter he will adopt other tactics.-Hartford Times.

Sly Little Fellow Furnished Lnn- uase for Two Lovers Ignorant

Unable to speak a word of English, old Jacob Weinsheimer, reciuse farmer on the eastern slope of Mount Penn, in Pennsylvania, has just been married to Miss aIarch, of Ohio, who cannot speak a word of German, and if the two do not ''live happy ever after'' it probably will be due to "misunder- standings"
 Until recently Weinsheimer was a hermit, occupying a home known as "Castle Lobenstein," and digging his living out of the hillside farm. The means to this is a "karst." A karst is something described as locking good

ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.
Will Re Represented by q Fine Build
 ing and Exhibit at Buffalo.

The Argentine Republic will have a building and exhibit at the Pan AEeri- can Exposition in Buffalo next summer which will represent fittingly the pro- gressive institutions and commercial and industrial prosperity of that South American republic. The sum of $30,- 600 has been appropriated by the Ar genuine government for this purpose.
 Argentine merchants, and especially those of Buenos Ayres, appreciate the importance of representation at the Pan American. Many agricultural and industrial organizations are notifying the minister of agriculture that they intend to send exhibits. It is probable the government will have it's exhibit at the Paris exposition brought to Buff falo at the close of the French fair.

English Unionists and Liberals Up

/ New York, Sept. ga dispatch to the

to the exclusion of everything else. There
is still a good deal of uncertainty about
the nominations for as many as eight
county divisions, but the results of the
uncontested elections will not differ ma
terially from those in 1895. The unionists

resources for bringing candidates into the
field and Herbert Gladstone has thrown

other prominent figures in the cam
paign. Capt. Lambton at Newcastle is
the most conspicuous candidate on the
liberal side and his speeches are delivered
with the authority of the quarterback
and are supported by his unique exper-
1ence on the ramparts of Ladysmith

washington, Sept. 29.-The alignment
or the powers on the German proposition
to make the punishment of the Chinese
ringleaders condition precedent to ne
gotiations may now be stated as fol-
lows:
Great Britain, Russia and France stand
with the United States in regarding this
proposition as inexpedient.
Japan occupies a middle attitude. She
IS willing to follow the German lead if
all the other powers are agreeable but
only for the sake of preserving harmony
among the powers and not from a belief
in the wisdom of the German PROPOSE
ton.
Austria and Italy stand shoulder to
shoulder with Germany, making the drei-
bund a solid 'front.' The first named two
powers do not attempt to argue the Ger
man proposition, and their arrangements
make it apparent that they have accept
ed without much consideration. Nothing
is known here officially of the alterna-
tive proposition which is reported to be
preparing in Europe. 1t it contains the
same feature as to prior punishment as
the original proposition is not likely to
receive approval here.
The fact that Secretary Hay is expect
ed to return to Washington next week
will not change in any way the policy
of the state department. The secretary
has been in the closest sympathetic touch
with all that has been done respecting
China, and the stories printed in Ger
many to the effect that he Is coming back
to reverse those policies is pronounced
at the state department to be absurd
The officials are impressed and have been
from the beginning with the conviction
that any attempt to punish Prince Tuan
before negotiations are undertaken will
absolutely defeat all efforts to obtain a
peaceable and satisfactory settlement.
Indeed, 1t is believed that the attempt
of Germany to apprehend such Chinese
officials at this stage has actually been
the cause of Prince Tuan's promotion,
rather than anything contained in the
American refusal of the German propO-
sition. 1t is pointed out that an inevita-
BILE result of such an effort would cause
the Chinese officials against whom 1t was
directed to strive by every means to Sc
cure the support of the throne just as
Tuan has in this case.

telegram today. This was not published

New York. Sept 29-From the mass of
conflicting reports in circulation relative
to China, the administration has deduced
these facts, says the Washington cores
pondent of the Herald. THAT the return
of the imperial government to Peking
will not be feasible until all the interested
powers give guarantee of protection to
the Empress DoWager as well as to the
emperor. That the imperial govern
ment, which at this moment is the EN-
press Dowager, is still highly favorable to
the Boxer movement, though hope is ex-
pressed that the information of the de-
gradation Of Prince Tuan is correct, as
in such an event this government will be
able to act to preserve Chinese territor-
lal interests. That all the powers, ex-
cept the United States propose to retain
much to preserve order as to watch over
the interests Of their respective govern
ments and that none of the powers, not
withstanding the withdrawal of Ameri-
can troops from China contemplates taxi
ing steps in the same direction. This gov
ernment has no disposition physically to
punish the Empress Dowager and when
peace negotiations are inaugurated Min
lister Conger will be authorized to extend
American protection to her as he will do
in the case of the emperor. Ii Hung
Chang has not reached Pekin and Prince
Ching will not begin negotiations until
he has had an opportunity to discuss
matters with him. The imperial gov-
ernment has issued the recent edict
granting to Earl Ii and Prince Ching full
authority to negotiate and agreeing in
advance to accept any terms which they
make. No information has been received
at the state department confirmatory Of

be provided with more definite creden~

MUST RECOGNIZE UNION.
Strike Will Not Be Settled Any Other
Way.

Pottsvilln, Pa, Sept. 29.-The conviction
is growing chat it will be next to impossi-
BILE to settle the strike on any basis not
including recognition of the union The
strike was ordered and subsequently
managed by the leaders of this organiza-
tlon, the strikers are following almost
unanimously the advice and mandates of
these leaders and it is generally believed
! here that the men will not go back to the
mines until they get word to do so from
Mitchell. In the vicinity of Shamokin,
number of men representing the opera
tors have been making efforts to have the
men promise to return to work on Octo-
ber l. Few, If any, such promises were
secured and most of the miners approach
ed looked upon the officers of the mine
owners to make certain concessions as a
sign of weakening. In the lower section
OF the Schuykill the recent story that me-
groes were to be imported from Virginia
to take the places of the strikers has been
received and discussed. A rumor was
current that some Of the prominent
operators had actually arranged with
agents in West Virginia for supplying
negro labor for the mines. Mine owners
and strike leaders pronounce the story
ridiculous. In the first place, they say,
inexperienced negroes , or white men for
thal matter, would be almost worthless
| In the mines, and it would require a long
time to make any large body of such men
useful IN cutting coal. In the next place,
even the mine owners admit that such a
movement would precipitate almost a
revolution, which would involve not only
