CHINESE sUBTILTY.

The Chinese authorities are Chinese
to the last with their capital in the
hands of the allies, their empress and
emperor virtually fugitives, with their
peace plenipotentiary held off because
of doubt as to the validity of his Gre
dentials and authority, the Viceroys
and Mandarins are still delaying and
holding up official and diplomatic dis
patches between military and diploma
tic agents of the allies and their re-
spective governments. There is how
ever possibly some advantage to the
Chinese. 1t tends to confusion, uncer-
tainty and discord among the allies. and
therefore may be a potent cause of
such friction and antagonism between
them as to prevent hearty and active
cooperation. But even this can hardly
work to the advantage of China. II
may prevent such punishment of the
direct authors of the trouble as they
richly deserve. But the hope for the
integrity of the Chinese Empire as an
empire lies in a speedy termination of
the present difficulties through harmo-
NOUS action of the allies. But if this
is prevented the result will be that ma
tional ambitions, greed, and suspicion
will make of the unsettled condition a
general scramble for territory. and the
Chinese Empire be dismembered sim
ply because some Mandarin cut the
telegraph wire or held up official mes

Inc practice of allowing tenements in

Nerandas extending over the sidewalk
INTO the street space is one that ought

The application of George L. Tanner.
sentenced to life Imprisonment for muir
der by the San Francisco courts. to be
sent to the leper settlement on Molokai.
While doubtedless simply an effort on
the part of Tanner to escape prison con-
finement, illustrates the nebulous ideas
regarding the settlement entertained on
the mainland. If any distinct ideas re-
garding it exist there, it seems to be
thought Of as a divinely appointed and
divinely provided for place, for Iepers,
that when the Almighty permitted Ie-
prosy to enter the world He also created
Molokai as a place for iepers to go and
live. There seems to be an idea that all
the lepers of all the world are invited to
go there and be welcome It does not
seem to occur to the minds of people IN
the mainland that it is a place support
ed by territorial taxation for a certain
class of unfortunates in the territory
and that it is no more a place for similar
unfortunates of other communities than
their elemosynary institutions are for
other than their own unfortunates.

The need of proper trade statistics
between here and San Francisco is very
patent. Our trade is entirely with the
mainland, and amounts to many mil
hons in volume. Merchants take the
ground that as the trade is now coast
ing there is no need of filing complete
manifests, The result is that the statis-
tics of trade of the port of San
Francisco will be cut down at
least 25 per cent, while our statis-
tics will be much more affected. 1t is
to the interest of the mercantile COM
munity that proper statistics be fur
nished, because Federal appropriations
for harbors and so forth will depend
upon their volume, Washington has
been appealed to in this matter.

The Australia, the Hawaiian ferry
boat, took large number of passen-
gers yesterday. OF these many are young
people who are returning to various
universities, colleges and schools on the
mainland. Upon higher education Ha-
WaiiaEs spend lavishly, and represen-
tatives from the Territory are to be
found at many of the principal seats of
learning. The effect upon the rising
generation is very broadening. It loses
its insularity, forms intellectual and
friendly ties and at the same time
shows that though the birth place is the
topics there is no diminution in the ply
steal or intellectual vigor of the race.
The Australia carries a burden which
is very precious to Hawaii nei.

as q lion. The foreigners insisted that
the youth be accompanied by three
Cossacks, and, though Watts preferred
to make the ride alone, he allowed him
self to be prevailed upon. It was just
at nightfall when he left Tien Tsin.
The city was blazing behind him and
some shells passed perilously near. He
left the place noiseiessly; but as soon
as he was out in the open country he
put spurs to his horse and fairly flew.
Again and again shots came whizzing
over his head, and before he reached
Taku one arm was swinging uselessly
at his side. Chinese ran out and tried
to seize his bride, but he swung his
whip vigorously, and in the dark many
horses flying feet.
Arrived at Taku, Watts did not lose
moment, but, securing a small boat,
put out to Admiral Kempff's flagship,
and his message was the first news
that the admiral had that the foreign
danger. The world knows the rest Of.
the story. Tien Tsin was saved and
Watts returned to the city with the al
lied troops on the 23d Of June, marching
in with the Welsh Fusileers. He was

will probably be given a medal by the
foreign powers.-Tien Tsin letter in

ANTIQUITY OF ALFALFA.-An ex-
change says that alfalfa or lucerne Is
probably the oldest forage crop that Is
now cultivated. History states it was
brought by Darius the Great from Me-
dia to Greece about 500 years before
the birth Of Christ.
The Romans, who were excellent far
mers, planted the seed in Italy, and in
most Of the countries they settled and
colonized. For centuries 1t has been
the leading forage crop in southern
France, Spain and Portugal. The dairy
farmers in Switzerland prize it very
highly, and the name lucerne is given
to the plant in many parts Of the. globe
from the circumstance that the seed
were obtained from the Canton Of Lu-
cerne, in Switzerland. The Spaniards
who settled western South America
brought the seed with them, and in
troduced the plant which they called
the Alfalfa, on both sides Of the Andes.
1t was also introduced into Mexico by
the Spanish conquerors, and extended
from them into California, Colorado
and Nebraska.
