the steamship Nippon Maru, for Yokoha-
ma, accompanied by Sur Cheong, of this
city, The reformer received three cable
messages which had been sent from the
Orient to San Francisco and forwarded
here by the Nippon Maru. They uregd
him to come at once.
1t is now reliably asserted by Chinese
authority that as soon as Leung Chi-Tso
arrives in the Orient and the leaders Of
the reform movement have conferred with
the allied forces, one Of the biggest revo-
lutions in the history Of mankind will
break out. There will be a million young
Chinese, who have had taste Of western
civilization, allied with the powers OF
Europe, America and Japan, against the
untutored hordes of the empress dowager.
1t is now asserted that Ii Hung Chang
is heart and soul with the reformers, and
is eXerting every effort to establish the
new era. Moreover, It is added that one
of the cablegrams received by Leung
Chi-Tso Tu sday was from the old dlplo-
mat. Another came from Kwang Yu Wal
at Singapore They told Leung that the
time had come and that he should return
to the Orient at once.
The scheme seems to be to get an un-
derstanding with the allied powers for the
suppression of the Boxer movement.
The reformers are confident of the out

A BITE IN THE DARK.
Which Was Productive of a Convic- ton That Retribution Fol.
 lows Shady Actions.

A young man whose work keeps kim downtown until the early morning hours usually reaches'home with sharp appetite. Ills mother, an lndulgent woman, too, puts a little lunch where he can get it, but this frequently falis to satisfy him. His wise parent knows this and she saves the lardeI from wholesale onslaught by locking things up, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Now, if there is one thing in particular that this youth dotes upon 1t is jelly. But jelly IS an article of food that takes time and skill in its preparation, and if the lady left her jelly jars at his disposal-well, there would be none to dispose of after a few mornings. So the jelly is locked up the tightest of all.
 The other morning the youth let himself into the house just as the gray streaks of dawn were cross barring the eastern sky. There was milk and bread awaiting him, but his soul craved for jelly. He determined to hunt for some. Taking slice of bread and a knife he stole down cellar and searched the fruit shelves. What happiness! He dimly made out the outlines of jelly jar. Was there any jelly in it? He dipped in his knife and felt the soft and quivering mass. What q joke on this usually careful mother. She had actually forgotten to turn the key on this treasure.
 He drew out a generous quantity and carefully spread 1t on the bread. He had to do it largely by guesswork, because the eel lar was almost totally dark. When the spreading was done he smacked his lipi tightly and took a generous bite.
 No, it wasn't jelly. It was soft soap.

BRYAN ANSWERS MEIKLEIOHN
Nebreskan Insists That the President Has Approved of Slavery
 in Sulu.

William J. Bryan has made reply to
 letter in reference to slavery in the Sulu islands. In his letter MT. Bryan says:
 T am in receipt of your favor of the 9th inst. in regard to the Sulu treaty. It is true that the president two months after the signing of the treaty sent to Gen. Otis the instructions which you quote.
 You will note that the treaty. or a de-
 mand, as the president describes 1t, was confirmed and approved. subject to the action of congress, and the only exception
 that he made was that in regard to article 10, relating to slavery. You can but know, however. that since the president sent those instructions the republican party,
 with the approval of the administration, has adopted the theory that the constitu- tion does not follow the flag, and therefore. the thirteenth amendment does not inter-
 fere with slavery in the Sulu archipelago.
 "The Porto Rican law asserts the doe
 Urine that the people of Porto Rico are beyond the protection of the constitution and can be governed by the arbitrary and unrestrained power of the president and
 congress. If the constitution itself can not reach the West Indies, how can the
 thirteenth amendment find its way across
 the Pacific into Asia? The president does not repudiate article l3, which reads as follows: The United States will give full
 protection to the sultan and his subjects if any foreign nation should attempt to impose upon them
 ''In view of the fact that the president in his letter of acceptance declares it dan gerous for us to agree to protect a Chris tian republic in the Philippine islands,
 would it not be wise for him to withdraw
 the agreement to protect a Mohamme dan island?
 ''The agreement does not repudiate ar ticle IA, which reads as follows: The Unit ed States will not sell the island of Sulu or any other island of the Sulu archipelago to any foreign nation without the consent of the sultan of Sulu.
 "If we buy all the Philippine islands from Spain without the consent of its inhabit- ants, is 1t fair to agree not to sell any o1 | the Sulu islands without the consent of the sultan? In other words. is 1t more i'm portant that a sultans wishes should be considered than that the interests of the | rest of the people should be regarded? "Very respectfully yours,
 "W. J. BRYAN" MT. Meiklejohn in his letter upheld
 the presidents policy in Sulu and | maintained that Mir. Bryan was in error in his statement that President
 Mckinley had by treaty approved of l slavery on the islands
