CODE BOOK STOLEN.
Sensational story Growing Out of
the Conger Message.

the COntSer message.
WASHINGTON, July PA discussion of
the authenticity Of the dispatch from
Minister Conger, dated at Pekin on the
18th inst, developed the fact today that
several years ago a copy of the state de-
partment cipher code disappeared and
never has been recovered. These cod
books are numbered and receipted for
when placed in the hands of those emitted
to them. The intima tino was given that
the missing code book fell into the hands
of the Chinese government This infor-
nation was calculated to inspire a doubt
of the authenticity of the Conger mes
sage.
State depar tment officials decline to
discuss the story of the theft of the
code book, but dc not enter denial that
they ever entertained suspicion that it
had fallen into the hands of the Chinese
government. 1t is known that several
years ago. a copy of the old state depart
ment cipher, which since has been
changed was made. A copy of this, the
authorities have strong reasons to be-
lieve. found its way into the possession of
another goyernment-not the Chinese.
This old code has been out of use for
many years, having been replaced by
one which the state officials regard as
much better.

1t was not known to the state depart

His arms are mere bones, covered

is fair; that his weight was not more
than 45 pounds, the bones being much
smaller than those of an ordinary man

wn. queen pe.. Handsome,

Sir Horace Walpole's description of
the maiden queen. drawn from her
portraits and from contemporary ac-
counts, is not very attractive one.
"a pale Roman nose, head of hair
loaded with crowns and powdered with
diamonds, a vast ruff, vaster farthn-
gale and bushel of pearls are" he
says, "the features by which every
body knows at a glance the pictures
of Queen Elizabeth"
But notwithstanding that she did not
care for art and that. knowing her
lack Of It, she affected to despise bodi-
ly comelness, still she loved to multi
ply portraits Of herself. "In them she
could appear really handsome" Yet
IL she hos been flattered in the exist
Ing likenesses of her she must have
been not merely plain, but a remark
ably ugly woman. Perhaps the truth
is that with the most courtly inten-
tions the painters Of the time did not
know how to prevaricate.
1.-THE queen" says foreign observer,
"is fair, but wrinkled. Her nose Is n
little hooked. her lips thin and her
teeth black. She wore false hair and
that red. Her bosom was uncovered,
as all the English ladies have it until
they marry" That the painters fiat
tered her In some degree we must infer
from that fact that she was fond of
sitting to them, though she could not
bear the sight of o mirror, which so
enraged her that her attendants were
obliged to hide theirs when she was
present.-Art Amateur.
