time in the history of the empire diplo-

China and the so-ealled barbarians. For
the first time the flags of all the impor-

For the first time there was a foreign
office. From an isolation as deep as that
of Thibet China suddenly entered the

used by the mongols to camp in. The
compound is long n marrow, and 1t is
difficult for a small force to defend 1t.
The American legation might have
been attacked on all sides, but the chief
Mr.. Conger acted wisely in taking re-
fuge in the British legation.
AN INSIDE VIEW.
However well acquainted with China
an observer may be, unless he has Ieen
ON the ground recently ana has watched
events his opinions may be entitled to
little weight. Even the views of men
now in China should be received with
many allowances. for all shades OF Opln-
ion are represented there.
The missionaries, who constitute a
great-perhaps the most numerous
part Of the foreigners, look only to the
spiritual side of the questions. To them
the supreme object is the spread OF re-
ligion, and they would welcome n gov
m which woul insure them and
their converts freedom and protection.
To the foreigner generally, H. Chinese
are interiors. Nothing that tney do is
proper, and they have no right that any
white man should respect. 1t is per-
fectly natural. right n proper to him
that the empire shall be partitioned. 1t
is even the duty of the white race to
take this inferior race under it's protec-
ton. Every European nation is sup
posed to desire to do this, because Eu-
rope is crowded and room must be found
for the young athletes of the West.
Evidently the most of the foreigners

are. This is a two-story brick building,
which was put up about four years ago
by the then owners of the property, the
heirs of DR.. S. S. Williams.
1t is a very good house and contains
a strong room for the protection OF the
archives. The walls Of the strong room
are three feet thick, made OF brick and
cement, have iron doors and would resist
any fire. The vault is copied after that
Of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking
corporation at 1ien Tsin.
From a military point of view the
American legation is ~untenable. Along
the front and visit side there is a wall ~
feet high, but it is very weak. Along the
back of the lot there is no wall, but
neighboring houses jut into the COM
pound (yard) and their back walls con-
stitute the only protection IN the rear.
An attacking force could easily take pos
session of these houses and, by pulling
down the back wall, enter the compound.
A POOR POSITION.
The legation premises do not reach to
the street in the rear, except at one
point.
There is nothing, therefore, separating
the legation from the city wall, except
a few low houses and a street about 6O
! feet wide. The wall runs all around Pc

and would be at its mercy. che defend-
ers of the legation could not show them-
selves without being picked off by rifle
men on the wall.
! 1t is for these reasons probably that
Mr.. Conger left his own legation and
went to the British. During the Japanese
war there was talk of sending American
marines to Picking at the time that other
! American officers came to the city and
inspected the legation. They pronounce
the Mace uRtenable on account OF the
proximity of the city wall, looked
for other locations for the troops.
No legation at Picking has the slight
est ENHANCE of a fort. The compounds
are usually great spaces filed with nu-
merous old Chinese buildings which a

brick houses which have been recently

/, After the navy was annihilated and the
army, what there was of it, had taken its
lances home. it was apparent that al
the world could insult, ravag and loot
China with impunity. 1t was the old

There is about Russian diplomacy Z
directness, a straightforwardness which
are admirable. She simply makes up her
mind as to what she Wants-and then
takes it. What other people say about
the matter does not concern her.

The size of the waist of the sea maiden
has increased many inches since last
summer. The new French figure de-
mands that the bodice be brought down
to a very low point in front, at least
three inches below the old beltline,
though no lower in the back. This makes
the waisit much larger; but gives it a
beautiful curve much admired by artists.

CONDITIONS IN PHILIPPINES.


ernment for the Islands.
In my last annual message I dwelt at
some length upon the condition of af-
fairs In the Philippines. While seeking
to impress upon you that the grave re-
sponsibility Of the future government OF
those Islands rests with the Congress of
the United States, 1 abstained from rec
ommending at that time a specific and
final form OF government for the terri
tory actually held by the United States
forces, and in which, as long as the in
surrection continues. the military arm
must necessarily be supreme. l stated
my purpose, until the Congress shall
have made known the formal expression
Of Its will, TO use the authority vested
In me by the Constitution and the stat
utes to uphold the sovereignty of the
United States in these distant Islands, as
in all other places where our flag right
fully floats placing to that end at the
disposal OF the Army and Navy all the
means which the liberality OF the Con-
gress and the people have provided. No
contrary expression OF the will OF the
Congress having been made, have
steadfastly pursued the purpose so de-
clared. employing the civil arm as well
toward the accomplishment OF pacifica-
tion and the institution of local govern
ments within the lines OF authority and
law.
Progress In the hoped-for direction has
been favorable. Our forces have sue
cessfully controlled the greater part of
the islands. overcoming the organized
forces OF the insurgents, and carrying
order and administrative regularity TO
all quarters What opposition remains Is
for the most part scattered. obeying no
concerted plan OF strategic action, oper-
ating only by the methods common to
the traditions of guerrilla warfare. which.
while ineffective to alter the general con
troll now established, are still sufficient
to beget insecurity among the popula-
tions that have felt the good results Of
our control. and thus delay the confer
ment upon them of the fuller measures

opment which we stand ready to give

COmmePc0.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The decrease
of the Hawaiian race has been steadily
growing less for the past several
decades, especially the female popu-
lation, according to the annual re-
port of ex-President Sanford B. Dole,
governor Of Hawaii. The increase Of
part Hawaiians tends to keep down
the number of the pure Hawaiians.
The cx-president reports that there
is reason to expect that annexation
is going to influence Hawaiian char
acter very favorably through the
changed conditions effected. The po-
itical privileges they enjoy in COM
mon with other American citizens,
he says, will tend to educate them in
public affairs.
The total valuation of real and per-
sonal property in Hawaii subject to
ad valorem assessment in 1900 is $97,-
491,5 The receipts from taxes are
estimated at $1,341,65O. The COM

HER KNOWLEDGE OF CHINESE.
She Knew the Shape OF the HER.
0Elyphs and Surprised
Her Friends,

A young woman at watering place this
summer made a reputation as a profound
linguist In rather odd manner. She
called one day at Chinese laundry, where
she had left shirt waist, but it could
not be found, as there was no entry in
the book of hieroglyphics corresponding to
her pink slip. After half hours search
the Chinaman found the entry. A mistake
had been made, the entry crossed out and
a new, set Of hieroglyphics in tiny. charac-
tiers placed below. She was told that that
waist would be Numbered Immediately, and
she could have il the next day, says the
Kansas City World.
The next day the young woman called
for it, accompanied by three other young
women. At the seashore the excitement Of
a visit. to the Chinese laundry, is not to be
despised. The Chinaman to whom the pink
slip was presented was not the laundryman
of the day before, and he experienced the
same difficulty in finding the identifying
characters, finally saying: 'Not in book. !"
The girl answered, calmly: 81 can find it"
and the Chinaman allowed her to take the
book. Turning the leaves until she came
to the one that had had an entry crossed
out. with another in tiny characters under
it, she handed it to the Chinaman. There
it is" and, to his surprise, he found it.
'sYou only lady 1 know spik Chinese" he
said. And the other girls looked upon her
with admiration.
