MAJOR WALLER, COMMANDING AMER
ICAN MARINES IN CHINA.
state that the consul general at Tien
Tsin-supposed to be the French consul
general-had telegraphed to the viceroy
of Chi Ii that the foreign admirals had
demanded the surrender Of the Taku
forts, and that the foreign ministers
were shortly to leave Pekin for Tien
Tsin with the guards. The minister
says the dispatch reached him from
Pekin, via Sinan Flu, the ca pital city Of
Shan Tung province. The minister is
firmly convinced Of the accuracy Of the
statements contained in his message.
Secretary Hay was also inclined to
credit the dispatch and was pleased to
find that it was corroborated by the
dispatch Of the French consul general
in Shan Tung to his own government.
In well-informed diplomatic circles
the news that the foreign ministers
have left Pekin for the North under a
Chinese escort is regarded with some
apprehension. 1t is presumed, of
course, that the escort is composed of
imperial troops, but feeling of unrest
is induced by the evident fact that in
the present circumstances, even the i'm
perial troops are not absolutely to be
trusted

The extent of the northwestern
drouth is shown in the low water of
the Mississippi river, which is the
lowest in 40 years. All the saw mills
of Lacrosse are shut down because
the water is SO low that logs cannot
be gotten out of the small streams

The pendent-demOcratlc con-
vention was called to order at 2:2O
Thursday p. m. by Chairman Conklln.
Secretary Parkinson read the conven-
tion call. Something like 100 dele
gates were in attendance. Geo. Lutz
was elected temporary chairman. He
thanked the delegates for the honor
conferred. He said he did not intend
to take part in politics this year, but
looking on the representative body OF
men before him he could not refuse to
do as they wished. This was a year
in which tickets were nominated to
fill the offices, county state and
national.
Referring to the nomination at Phil
adelphia of Mckinley, Mr.. Lutz said
that the republican party there
named had declared him infallible-
one who could do no wrong. The con-
vention was held in Philadelphia
June q and the condition of crops in
the seven northwestern state was
well known to all the world but no
notice of the same was taken and
no word of sympathy expressed for the
people of these states. This was an
illustration of the interest which the
republican party has in the farmer.
The republican leaders have not full
filled the promises made four years
ago regarding the gold standard
which was made with scratch OF the
pen and not by the wishes OF the
people. The government has
become entangled in the
Philippines, he said, and seems about
to attempt to establish colonial sys-
TEN of government. The rich con-
troll the currency more than ever be-
fore, and the present system, as enact
ed by recent republican legislation,
was not based on scientific elastic
principle, for it has money to be bor-
rowed by the business man and others
at a time when it is not needed, and
none to be had at times when it is
needed.
The republican platform had a
great deal to say about our foreign
commerce. Commerce inside our own
great country is by far the greatest
in importance, and overshadows in
volume and permanency that with
foreign countries. Our internal COM
merce should be of the first considera-
tion, the development of our own
resources is of greater value than the
trade with foreigners.
England, France and Germany inn
ported more than exported and the
people were prosperous. But it was
held by the Philadelphia platform
that the United States could get rich
by reversal of the process. In
Argentine the people export more
than they import but they are not
getting rich at it. The custom figures
Of the administration do not tell the
truth, but blind the public he thought.
Our interests do not lie abroad SO

THE MONEY ORDER SYSTEM.

The postmaster generals report re- gently submitted for the fiscal year ending June 30, says regarding the money order system:
 The statistics of the business trans acted by tle people of the United States through the medium of the money CT der system are always of interest be- cause they fiuctuate in harmony with the prevailing business conditions The improvement of the last year has been continued, and even enhanced as is shown by the fact that while the in- crease in the money order business for the fiscal year 1899 over that of 1898 amounted to $20, ,364,472, the increase for the year 1900 over that of 1899 was s30, I'll, 664. The tC,al transactions for the fiscal year 1900 amounted ao $255 = 670,227.9S. Orders drawn in Cuba and Porto Rico called for the payment, re- spectively, of $3,0S1, $50 and $1,S42,542
 The total number of postoffices at which money order business is thana- acted is now 30,237, out of 76,6SS post of- fees in operation in the United States at the close of the last fiscal year. such facilities having been extended to 2,S65 offices during the year.
 The extension of this system in the island of Porto Rico. the Philippines and Hawaii has been carefully super vised and furghered. The Cuban pos- tai system being now practically inde- pendent of ours, the operations of the money order system of that island are under the supervision of the director general of posts of Cuba.

SHIRT IN SUPREME COURT.
Lawyer Condon Sues the Mills Hotel
 for 75 Cents.

William Condon, a lawyer wants D. O. Mills to pay him seventy-five cents for an undershlrt that MT. Mill's steam laundry, run il connection with the Mills hotel No. 1, received in it's midst and failed to disgOrge. It was the only undershirt Mir. Condon had at the time. or the only one of it's kind that he had, but that does not matter so much to him. It's the principal of the thing he's fighting for. He would even stand for having whole garment returned in the form of network, but he at least wants something as a souvenir
 Condon lost his shirt last September while a guest at the hotel. He discov- cred this when a change of weather made it necessary for him to wear it. It had not come back from the laundry with his collar and his other pair of socks. So he went to the management about it. He says he was treated with scorn and asked to show his laundry ticket. He had destroyed that, and couldn't do it. Then they refused to pay for the shirt on the familiar Chi nese principle of mo checkee, no wasi1ee." Condon, who says he prac- ticed law in Chicago for thirty years, brought suit in the municipal court. There the millionaire hotel proprietor won.
 Then Condon appalled,, and yester- day three justices of the supreme court patiently heard the case all over again The justices reserved decision.-N. Y Telegraph

An altogether exaggerated impor- tance has been given in the cabled dis patches to this country to the attack Lord Salisbury's of so many of his rel atives in the reconstructed administra- ton. True, the attack, winch was of l particularly Venemous character, was made by a conservative member, a man rejoicing in the name of Christo- pher Trout Bartley. But he is known at Westminster as a politician of very small calibre, who for the uast twen- ty years has been endeavoring in vain to obtain even the most subordinate kind of an office from his party. but who. owing to his peculiar personali- ty and manner, which, while in keepng with the social atmosphere of Islington, which he represents in parliament, are not congenial either to the house or to and government office holders, has nev- CT been able to securc any recognition in the form of official spells. He is statesman of the same stripe as Sir FL lis Ashmead Bartlett, and is about the very last man in parliament who has a right to charge Lord Salisbury With nepotism, seeing that he himself is a son-in-law of the late Sir Henry Cole, the greatest nepotist of his day, who endowed the science and art depart ment with the evil renown for job bery which still clings to it under the name of the South Kensngton ring Marquise de Fontenoy in Washington Post

GLUED HIS WHISPERS.
Took Advantage of Calvin While He
 Slept.

Martin O. Calvin offers a reward of $500 for information that WI lead to the arrest and conviction of the man who solidified his whisksrs. He is a clerk in the Harlem police court and captain of company F, Sixty-ninth reg iment. When not engaged as a clerk he has spent his time reading law. But he realized that a young lawyer has not much chance, so he decided that ;t beard would make up for all discrepan- cieS in age when it came to gathering in clients.
 Many anxious moments and mucn cash have been spent in inducing T growth that would border on the lux uriant, Every lotion known to science has been tried. and with some success. He boasted of facial adornment, cut in Van Dyke style, that ought to add $3,000 a year to his earnings when he became lawyer, as well as increasing his personal beauty. He figured that if that beard could not bring about a match with an heiress, his case was hopeless.
 He was proud, but his day of reck- oning cam yesterday. Like many an- other man who would achieve great ness, he slept on duty. It was during q recess of the court. He had placed his feet upon the desk and was catch ing up on sleep he had lost at the club. A hated rival entered the room. He was smoothfaced and without hope of entering the bearded class. A bottle of liquid glue completed his tempta- tion. The rival applied it literally.
 It dried quickly, and when Calvin awoke he tried complacently to stroke his beard. There was a glassy hard ness where the whiskers used to grow He tried to wash it off, but the glue clung to him like a poor relative and was as persistent in its staying powers as a hungry soubrette.
 Weighted with sorrow he sought barber, who tackled the glue with a hammer, but it was bomb proof. Af- ter an hours work the babber succeed ed in undermining the enamel and cut it away, but the beard was such a wreck that it had to be obliterated.
 Gone is the glory of Calvin and his fortune is pledged to vengeance.-N '. Telegraph.

It was in the days of my boyhood at Tripler hall, at the meeting in commemoration of Fen moore Cooper, who had just died. Washington Irving came forward to call the meeting to order. He was em- barrassed as I never before nor since saw a speaker embarrassed. He had his hat in one hand and his gloves in the other. His chief perpleXity seemed to be how to change his hat and gloves to the other hand. He hemmed and hawed and stuttered and blushed and bowed and half broke own while pre- senting Daniel Webster as chairman of the meeting Daniel Webster in speech introduced William Cullen Bry- ant as the orator of the evening.
