Eut Will Not Permit Any Single Pow
err to Take Selfish ADVANTAGE.

er TO Take Selfish Advantage.
copyright. 1900. by the Associated Pressl
BERLIN, June 9.-The situation In China
Is here regarded as of the utmost i'm
portance. Though the Foreign Office has
been rather uncommunicative throughout
the week toward all foreign correspond
ents, enough reliable information has
leaked out to show that the whole govern
ment, with the Emperor and the minister
of foreign affairs, Count Won Buelow
leading, consider the suppression OF the
anti-foreigner movement in China pre-
requisite for a possible regeneration of
OF healthy commercial conditions there.
Germany Is, therefore, the officials Of
the Foreign Office emphatically told the
correspondent of the Associated Press, in
favor of harmonious joint action by all the
powers interested in China without per-
hitting any single power to reap selfish
advantages from the situation, nor a group
of powers doing Thus far the German
government is not in possession of official
or otherwise reliable information that any
one power is attempting to get ahead Of
the rest, nor that the dowager Empress
of China really favors the Boxer" move
ment. The failure of the Chinese troops to
subdue the movement results, 1t is said
here, simply from the normal procrastina-
ton of the government and the cowardice
of the Chinese army and its commanders.
Reliable information is to the effect that
Germany, at all events, will vigorously ax-
ert herself with the other powers to put
an end to the present unbearable situa-
ton. His Majesty's instructions are that,
while Germany will, in no way, put her.
self unduly forward and is willing to 10y
ally cooperate with the rest of the powers,
she will, under no circumstances, permit
the present conditions to go on, even If,
thereby, suspicion should be aroused that
Germany is seeking separate aims, which,
of course, is absurd. The Cologne Gazette
to-day points out, inspiredly.l that the main
care now is to re-establish orderly condi-
whether the Chinese government thereby
comes to grief or how the relations be-
tween the powers are thereby altered. 1t
seems relatively unimportant whether the
Conservative or Reform party in China be
in power.

Ambassadors Choate Delivers an Ad-
dress and EuIogixes Sir Henry.


LONDON, June AT the Savoy Hotel
tonight a complimentary dinner was given
to welcome home Sir Henry Irving after
his American tour. D'Oyly Carte presided,
and among the two hundred persons pres
ent were United States Ambassador Joseph
Choate, Henry White, Secretary Of the
United States Embassy. Bradley Martin. the
Earl Of Craven, F. Burnard, Reginald
Ward. Charles Frohman. Maurice Grau.
Bret Harte, Lord Russell. Alma Tadema
and Anthony Hope. Sir Henry was given
a tremendous reception when he rose to
respond to the toast to his health. but the
features Of the evening were the speeches
made by Ambassador Choate and Mark
Twain.
Mr.. Choate, for the first time since he
has been in England, seemed to give free
vent to his humor. and he did not hesitate
to remind Englishmen that the traits of
character which they had heretofore, with
lofty superiority regarded as purely Amer
lean had been lately repeated and exceed
ed in England. Heretofore" said Ambas-
sador Choate, 1.-The enthusiasm which the
United States has displayed on occasions
has been regarded as quite unbecoming
great people, but that was before certain
events in your own history. Never i'm our
that here in London on the occasion of the
relief of Ladysmith and Mafeking" Mr.
Choate eulogized Irving and paid tribute
to him for what he has accomplished to
foster the good relations between the two
countries.
Lord Russell proposed the health of Sir
Henry Irving in an eloquent speech, to
which Irving feelingly responded. In the
course of his speech Sir Henry said: From
an experience of seventeen years l may say
that the fortunes of England are dear to
those Americans who guide and control
the destinies of their country, and IL is my
belief that the bonds between Great Britain
and the great American Republic will grow
ever closer with time. And one who has
been through that great country, who has
shared the welcome of its great-hearted
people. who has felt and seen, as / have
again and again, the loving warmth and af-
lection for the old land. can only feel that
so all good and high purposes and all that
makes for the elevation and freedom of
humanity and the good of the human race
the two lands are one.
Mark Twain's speech In which he de-
scribed his experiences as dramatist, was
received with continuous laughter. Arthur
w. Pinero, the Earl of Chesterfield, Mr..
Commyns Carr and others spoke.

Suddenly We noticed the grass had

about ten yards off the track-there
were no trees for miles, but there were
we knew, trees of this kind at a village
fifteen miles distant, in the direction
from which the tracks led. Probably.
then, these women had come from that
village, bringing the leaf with them,
and had gone to the hills. On picking
up the leaf it was damp, and smelled
OIL native beer. So we guessed that ac-
cording to the custom of these people
remember as | said before. to study
the habits and customs of your enemy
they had been carrying pots of native
beer on their heads, the mouths of the
pots being stopped with punches of
leaves. One of these leaves had fallen
out; but we found it ten yards off the
track, which showed that at the time
II fell wind had been blowing. There
was no wind now, but there had been
at about ) a. M, and it was now near
ly Z. So we read from these signs that
party OF women had brought beer
during the night from the village fiji
teen miles distant, and had taken it to
the enemy on the hills, arriving there
about 6 o'clock. The men would prob
ably start to drink the beer at once
(as it goes sour if kept for long), and
would by the time we could get there
be getting sleepy from it, 50 we should
have a favorable chance of reconnoit-
ering their position. We accordingly
followed the w0mens tracks, found the
enemy, made our observations, and
got away with our information without
any difficulty.

Value of Pictures.

Pictures do more toward furnishing
house and determining the status Of
its inmates than anything else If you
have a suspicion that you are not wise
in choosing and hanging pictures, get
advice from someone whose taste need
not be questioned, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. Cheap pictures are not nee
essarily poor, but a poor picture is
usually cheap. To be able to discern
the difference is quality with which
every one is not blessed. A good plan
is to purchase copies of famous pic
lures, etchings and engravings. These
are almost sure to be good In franz
ing pictures remember that gold
frames are for oil paintings and dark
pictures. white frames for water col
ors. and black enamel or Flemish oak
and modern oak for etchings and
photographs.

Court Decides Charity Case.

The Supreme court held that a
church subscription made on Sunday Is
collectibe. f. NJ Donald Of Fort Mad
ison, defendant in suit brought by
the First Methodist Episcopal church,
appealed from a similar decision by
the district court. His defense was
that the obligation, having been en-
tered into on Sunday, was illegal, and
that there was no consideration. Both
claims were overruled. In discussing
the case the court said the object of
the subscription was not worldly gain,
but the advance OF Christianity and the
betterment of morals in a particular
locality. The sole purpose of the plain
tiff's statutory existence as corporate
body was to do good. If So contribu-

minders confronting the business man
III each mornings mail it is difficult
for him to believe that the possession

ders, ancient Egypt. Although 5000

FLOGGING IN BRITISH NAVY.
Stiil in Practice, as the Following Ac-
count Shows.


On Sept. % Thomas Mcclellan, late
second-class leading stoker Of her
majesty's ship Doris, was flogged at
Simon's Town fer the offense OF ma
lingering, says London Truth. The re-
port of the circumstances, which APP
peared in the Western Morning News
of Oct. "a, is not very LUCID, but | gath
er from it that the malingering took
place while the man was undergoing
a sentence of Imprisonment on the
Penelope for striking chief stoker. A
medical survey" was first held on the
accused, which presumably resulted in
a finding that he had been shamming
sickness. On this a board of three Of

There does not appear therefore, to be
any suggestion that he was malinger-
ing this time. The Western Morning
News. in chronicling this incident, ex-
presses the hope that it may lead to
renewed agitation for the abolition of
fogging in the navy. | can hardly con-
ceiye ii possible that any one possessed

STABILITY OF corporal punishment,
whether in the navy or elsewhere, for
certain peculiarly brutal classes of
crime, opinion may differ. But the
idea of flogging a man senseless for
such a trumpery offense as that of pre-
tended sickness to evade prison disci-
pine is revolving in the most elemen-
tary feelings of justice and humanity.
The reader will note that this poor
wretch was sentenced (by three officers
