neard before mixed court, in which
q mandarin sits.
These foreign settlements at Chinese
ports must be distinguished from the
foreign colonies or leases, in which
the entire city, and limited area
around 1t, either belongs to or is under
the flag and jurisdiction OF the latter,
not under the Chinese flag. These are
Hongkong and Wei-Hal-Wei, which
are British; Port Arthur and Talien
Wan, Russian; Kaio Chau is German,
and Macao is Portuguese.
The rights enumerated above are the
foundation upon which the trade of
the United States with China has been
built. Our Chinese trade is greater
than that OF any other nation except
Great Britain. These rights are guar
anteed by treaty, and China can not
revoke any of them without our con-
sent. They are now menaced by the
Boxer uprising, which aims to drive
every foreigner out Of China, and close
doors forever upon other nations and
their trade. 1t Is the duty OF the Chi
nese government to protect our people
and property, and to maintain us in
the possession of the rights which 1t
has solemnly granted. If 1t can not
do so, or is not willing, then it is our
right to use arms to protect and de-
fend them; and we are entitled to full
compensation for any loss or damage
which may have been suffered.
Common Cause with Europe.
What is true of the United States as
regards treaty rights is also true OF
all the European powers involved in
the present trouble. Their ministers
and legation stats in Peking are men
aced, as is the American minister;
their treaty rights are imperiled; their
subjects have been murdered, or COM
PEELED to flee; the property of their
people has been destroyed or endan-
gered. 1t is altogether proper that we
and they should make common cause,
combine our forces, rescue the minis
ters and other imperiled foreigners,
and compel the Chinese government to
respect and observe its treaty obliga-
tions.
We will act with them thus far, and
no farther When it comes to demand
ing Chinese territory as compensation,
the United States will take no hand.
We do not want an inch of Chinese
soil. The treaty rights which we have
there are far more valuable than a
vexatious and burdensome slice of ter
ritory. 1t is our bounden duty to de-
fend these rights, the same as it is to
protect our minister and those Amer
leans who are in China under treaty
guarantees.

Hoyt's genius as it sparkles In "a
Midnight Bell is perennial. This
cleverly constructed New England
comedy differs from all others in that
it has a well defined plot and is legi-
innate comedy. The cast is said to be
an excellent one throughout. A great

SHE HAS A NEW VALlSE.
Why She BouGht 1t and why, Also.
She VIII Not Lend 1t.

A Portland woman tells this story,
which may have moral
Several years ago her husband made
her a present of a travelling bag made
of black Russia leather, handsomely
mounted and strong and serviccable.
She had had it only few days when
the sistcr-in-law of her boarding mis-
trcss borrowed it to take with her to
the White mountains. 1t looked SO
much nicer than her own was her
apology. 1t had only been returned
q few days when a friend who was
going to take little journey up
among the hills of oxford county beg
ged the loan of it, and again it was
taken down from the upper shelf"
Then another friend was to make a
visit of Il few weeks in Montreal.
Could she take it? She could and did.
BY this time the new look had van
ishcd, and still its owner had had no
occasion to carry it.
one evening Il favOritc cousin called.
He was captain of a brig which was
to sail for the coast of Africa the next
day, but he himself was going on a
steamer via England. Did his cousin
have a valisc she wouldn't need for
six months or so? Reluctantly the
travelling bag was produced, and that
was the last time the lady saw it for
two years, when it reached her by the
hand Of a sailor from the brig. But it
was in such a battered and forlorn
condition that she consigned it to the
waste barrel
In the meantime she had bought a
new valise, which she declined to lend.

THEY BUILT THE ROAD.
And Gould Knew where to Get the
Rails to DO It,

Jay Gould once wanted to build n
short line to a certain place and found
rivals in the field. To sylvester T.
Smith he gave imperative orders, Get
out as big a force as possible, and COM
plete the road before the other fellows
get wind of it. and we'll head 'em off"
Smith reported presently, "A1r.
Gould, we can get all the ties, fish
plates bolts, nuts and spikes we want,
but we can't get the rails" "Tele-
graph to every mill in the country, and
pay any price" said Gould. 81 have
done so. and there is no chance for a
delivery under - MONTHS "Then,"
said the little wizard, Ego somewhere
and tear up something. We've got
to have rails" He indicated the road
to destroy, branch or feeder of the
Union Pacific.
Smith soon had the old road torn up
and the new one laid down. Then
came war. Stockholders of the Union
Pacific learned of the enterprise and
hailed Smith to court to answer for
tearing up railroad that belonged to
them. To their questioning he admit
ted all and had no excuse but that Jay
Gould ordered him to do it.
"Who is JAY Gould?' some asked.
"What has he got to do with it?'
Up rose young lawyer from New
York to inform them that Mr.. Gould
owned all the bonds of the Union Pa.
cifc road, though not a dollar of its
stock. and that he was absolute pro
prictor of the feeder that Mr.. Smith
had torn up. There never was more
surprised and mystilied lot Of men
They had nothing more to say.-Sar
