industry, which believed to be the work OF
trust The association appealed 10 Congress 10
inquire into the conditions complained OF, TO the
end that suitable legislation might be provided to
remedy these conditions. As newspapers are sold at
a fixed price the resolution declares, their pub

in others II creates actual loss.

English Made Mummy Cloth.

Sir William Bailey. head of the well
known Albion works. at Stafford, told a
good story the other day. A certain
Manchester merchant saw mummy In
Egypt and brought away portion OF
the mummy cloth. This was handed to
a buyer of a large Manchester ware
house. who was asked if he could tell
where it was woven. After examining
it carefully with his glass, he said he
thought he could put his finger on the
mill where it was produced if he could
borrow the piece for few days. After
wards he reported that it was made
where he had thought, near Oldham.
Manchester men are known to be acute.

THE APRICOT CUTTERS.
Striking Scene in California
Fruit Valley.

There is an upland valley in California
where at certain season OF the year the
bare ground is golden as far as the eye
can sea-a blaze of yellow and tawny col
or, like that of a vast field OF popples
But this yellow carpet is composed not
of flowers, but of aprlcots drying The
valley, which is so high in the mountains
and so bare that almost no dew fans
there, is the focus of the apricot harvest
ers for score of miles about. For all
but a few weeks during the year the
place is lonely and quiet Then of sud
den small army nvades it-a polygiot
crew Of laborers, Mexicans, Swedes CHI
nese A village Of tents and nuts springs
up. Flat cars run all day up and down
the mountain, bringing the ripe apricots.
And these are slid on trays into the long
sheds where the people stand at work
men, women and children, each with
tag bearing a number about the neck,
and sharp knife in the hand. single
turn Of this knife by a practical hand
halves the apricot and drop the stone on
the ground, while the fruit falls into
second tray. When this is filed it is Slid
out into the open, checked off to the
workman's credit and set on the ground
to help fill up another of the endless rows.
If it is hot out there where the indigo
sky burns in fierce rivalry of color with
the spreading orange, it is hotter iE the
sheds, and the smell Of the apricots and
of the piles of stones is overpowering.
The workpeople wear as few clothes as
allowed; their necks are bare and their
sleeves rolled to the shoulder. The white,
thick-muscled arm of Scandinavian Ia
borer moves in unison with the thin,
swarthy, hairy arm Of the Mexican next

arm of a Chinaman. There are perhaps
a dozea "chinks'' scattered among the
superior breeds; they work silently, with
lowered eyes and expressionless faces,
effacing themselves as far as possible.
They labor here as in the gold fields,
risking their lives daily to scrape together
little hoard of money which is an added
risk; constantly on the watch for dan
ger which they have no means Of re-
sisting, for the law in that country deals
not with the white man who robs a
''chink' or sends a knife into the yellow
mans feeble body. And there are white
and brown desperadoes in the busy crowd
men who will do anything, even work,
for a little money, but who much prefer
brother.
There is scarcely a pause for eating at
midday; work must go on while the sun
shines. But at night the apricot cutters
are paid off. filing in long lines past the

How the Chinese TelegrnDh

The curious part Of the Chinese tele-
graph system is the fact that, even in
the interior. where there are no foreign
ers, all the telegraph blanks are printed
in English. The Chinese language be-
ing idiographic, having character for
each word, it is impossible to transmit
it by the ordinary Morse signals. 1t Is,
therefore. necessary to telegraph either
in foreign language or by using Ara
bic numerals. BY the latter method q
Chinese dictionary is taken and a num-
Der given to each word at all likely to
be used in a telegraph dispatch.-New

AS TO A PROTECTORATE.

"A n
Having given the Fi!ipinos stable form
of government, Mr.. Bryan would give
them their absolute independence and
then protect them from the interference
of other nations. If it is our duty to es-
tablish a stable form Of government, it
follows that it is our duty to see that
such a form of government is main
tanned, for without it, we cannot afford
them adequate protection against other
nations. If we assume protec.orate
over the islands, foreign governments
would expect and require, and would have
the right to expect and require, trat we
maintain stable government there. A
government that would protect the life,
property and commerce of foreigners to
the same extent as among the civilized
nations of the world.
Without such q government we

We're on all sides and occasional shots
were fired from houses in the vicinity
The first attempt of the incendidaries to
start fire in the rear of the troops was
made in the main building of the Binondo

effort was made by setting fire to some
nipa structures outside the main building.
The lesson learned by these fires

But I will not take further time to quote
from Gen. Hughes report. Those who
are anxious to read the full details Of this
horrid attempt to burn the city and de-
stroy our soldiers can read the reports by
Cen Hughes, Col Ames and Captains
