TREE STOLEN FROM
GRAVE OF A PRINCE.
Palm Planted by Empress Eugene
in Paris Carried Away
by Robbers.

Paris, Oct. IA magnificent palm
tree, planted by the Empress Eugenia in
the garden Of the little hotel owned by
her in the Avenue de la Bourdonnais,
over the monument to the prince impe-
rial, was mysteriously distracted on
Monday night by burglars.
No. 6, which has it's entrance on
Champ de Mars, is the property of EN-
press Eugene. In this spot was placed
a monument that number of loyal adj
herents to the imperialst cause wished
to raise in memory of the prince impe-
rial who was killed in Zululand.
The Paris municipal council refused to
grant a site for the erection of the mon
ument, and, accordingly, it was placed
in the garden of the little hotel on the
Avenue de la Bourdonnais. Every year
friends of the prince gather there on the
anniversary of his death.
The criminals, who still remain I'M
known, climbed over the railing of the
hotel, and having uprooted the palm
tree which Swallowed a commemorative
inscription, carried it off. This palm
tree had been carefully tended by the
former Empress and the servants. Hence
it is easy to understand their grief on
finding the tree gone. No motive can be
ascribed for the robbery.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 13.-The
President will recommend to Congress
the payment of an indemnity to the fam
lilies of the four Italians who were the
victims of mob at Tallalulah, La,
about two years ago. A report from a

the men were killed by the mob and
that none Of the perpetrators Of
the crime were ever punished
by the state authorities, notwith-
standing the representations of the
national government. The governor of
Louisiana caused an investigation to be
made and there were some proceedings
before grand jury, but the result was
that the national government found it.
self bound to make some sort of repara-
ton in reference to the Italian govern
ment's representations and this will take
the form OF an indemnity for each of the
persons killed who were Italian citizens
at the time OF their death.

OUT FOR THE STUFF.
French Troops the Most Accom- pIished
Looters at Pekin.

Pekin, Sept. 1.-When the subject of
entering the sacred city was first
preached. Gen. Chaffee and one or two
of the generals were against the plan,
but the ministers were unanimously in
favor of it, arguing that the Chinese
would always declare that Pekin proper
had never been taken unless the sacred
city was entered by foreign troops, also
that it would be considered still more
holy in the eyes of the people.
Gen. Chaffee based his objections on
the ground that the place was practically
the palace and the private grounds of
the Emperor and the royal family, and
that no public good could be gained by
overrunning it.
The French have been the most sue
cessful looters, their prizes being est.
mated at many millions. Though they
have but a handful Of men here, thu
French flag flies over more building
than those of any other nation. The Jap
anese have worked hard and well and It
seems the opinion Of most of the officers
that if there is any division Of territory
that Japan will obtain Korea.

John Chinaman an Unsolved Mystery

What strikes an observer most about
China and the Chinese is that sudden
ly a veil has been rent from vast or
ganism which up to the present half-cen-
fury had remained exclusive, self-con-
tanned and repellant to all external infu-
ence and all modern knowledge. Not
only is the type of civilization vastly diff
ferent. but the mind is of another cast,
the idea OF separate order. Inference
is the key to Chinese character and Chi
nese intercourse, but a foreigner, how
ever long he may dwell in the country.
never quite makes out what a native is
driving at from anything he says or does.
