Sir Frederick Darlington, who is now In
Rhodesia, is we'll known as a kindly,
jovisl companion, who was formerly
something of a bohemian, as well as a
brave and experienced general When in
London he would often attend the Savage
Club. and there his stories of adventure
in many parts of the world were listened
to with delight. But one of his most
amusing yarns dealt with a London ex-
perience.
Sir Frederick IS a most skillful per-
former on the piano, and, by his story,
il appeared that on one occasion, when q
younger man, he attended a party-a sort
of -you-please sing-song-at which
were some brother officers and a good
many theatrical and nusic-hall people
Most of the members of the party did
something to amuse the rest, and, finally
some one called in request the services of
a celebrated contortionist and bender
a being who tied himself into knots, and
who at the time had created a ton
upon which the latter whispered to Car

gravely addressed the gathering as fol-

Mr.. Harlaw N. Higinbotl am in the Sat

POLITICAL SITUATION IN NEW
YORK


The political situation In New York
presents a curious study. There isn't
much doubt that If Mr.. Bryan should
carry New York he would be elected. and
ii is believed by some of the shrewdest
of the Democratic leaders that he would
carry that state If the Democrats were to
nominate Mr. Coler for Governor. 1t is
fact that the Republicans are afraid the
Democrats will nominate him. They are
saying that he does not want the office,
that he wants to be Mayor of New York
city, and that if he were to be nominated
for Governor he could not get the fun
Tammany vote. In fact, they are doing
all they can to prevent his nomination.
And why don't the Democrats agree to
nominate him? Simply because Mr.
Croker is against him. If Mr.. Coler should
be elected Governor he would not submit
to dictstion from anybody. He would not
sign bills that were intended 10 fill the
pockets of politicians or to advance
the interests of any party or faction. He
would consult the interests of the people
only.
1t is reasonably certain that the Repub-
licans will nominate a machine politl-
cian--a politician who. if elected, would
use his influence to advance the interests
of corpora tons and trusts. A man who
will stand up for the interests of the
people cannot get the Republican nominal
ton for Governor Mr.. Platt will control
the nomination, and he stands in with the
corpora ions and trusts. The reason he
urged Gov. Roosevelt TO accept the nomi-
nation for Vice President was that he
wanted to get him out of the Office of
Governor. 1t is said that he told him that
he had better take the vice presidential
nomination because he would rot be re-
nominated for Governor. Gov. Roosevelt
has too much independence for the New
York boss of the Republican party.
But if Mr.. Croker objects to Mr.. Coler
and defeats his nomination for practically
the same reason that MIR. Plat objected
to Gov. Roosevelt's having another term
as Governor. he is no better than Mr..
PIatt II is true that Mr. Coler may be
nominated in spite of Mr.. Croker. But it
might not be wise to nominate him
against the wishes of Mr. Croker. be-
cause he would have to have the full
Tammany vote 10 be elected. Mr.. Croker
might make IL a point not to bring out a
| full Tammany vote. The situation seems
to be one In which the people are ia the
power of the political bosses.

CHINESE SEEKING PEACE.

1t is pretty clear that the real situa-
ton in China has not yet been made
known. If the government was free
to do as it pleased IL is difficult
90 see why it did not accept the
propositions made by the United States.
Had +, done that it would not
have suffered the humiliation of having
its capital occupied by a hostile army.
1t must have known that it did not have
the means to prevent the advance of the
allies. 1t should. therefore, have accepted
the proposition of the United States and
arranged to permit a relief force to ad-
vance to Pekin and receive the ministers
and other foreigners. There seem to be
reasons for thinking that the government
has not been free agent-th6t the leaders
of the Boxers have been directing affairs.
IL is hardly probable that the United
States viii respond promptly to the ap-
plication of the Chinese government for
the appointment of an American COM
mission TO put stop to hostihties and
90 restore peace. It is to be assumed
of course, that this application has been
made only to the United States govern
ment In that case it shows that China
puts greater trust in the United States
than in any other Power.
There is no reason known at Washing
Ton why hostilities should not cease at
once. 1t Is difficult to understand why
fighting was continued at Pekn after the
ministers and other foreigners had been
rescued With their rescue the object of
the relief force was accomplished. Prob
ably, there existed condition of affairs
there which in the opinion of the COM
manders of the allies, required the ap-
plication of force. What that condition
was will, doubtless, be made known within
a day or two.
The United States will hardly re-
ply decisively to the application for the
appointment of an American commits
sion until it consults with the other Pow
ers interested in bringing about settle
ment OF the trouble. They may not be
willing that the various questions that
must be passed upon finally before the
Powers will consent to withdraw their
armies and fleets from China shall be
ShbiiAhttch W All AHieIlCdtl COLlHlSSIOfl
They know that the United States are
against despoling China of any more of
her territory and it may be the purpose
of some of them to demand territory i'm
settlement of damages they have sus-
tanned. For instance, Germany demanded
and received, for the lives of two mission
aries who were murdered in a riot, one of
Chinas most important ports together
with a large amount of contiguous country.
What, then. will she demand for the life
of her minister. who was murdered in the
Chinese capital2 Russia is almost GER
tain to demand territorial concessions.
1t is certain that the American people
do not want their government to become
entangled in schemes the Powers of Eu-
rope may have for annexing portions of
the Chinese empire. AS far as it is posi-
Bile to ascertain it their wish is for the
United States to withdraw their army
from China at once, If they can do so
without violating any obligations to other
Powers and without sacrificing any of
their interests.

The person of the President OF the
United States, from all accounts, is guard
ed az closely almost as that of "a Europ-
can monarch While he is not surrounded
with a retinue of soldiery or followed
here and there by an armed and uni
formed bodyguard. there are detectives,
secret service men and police stationed
an around the White House, forming
practically a dead line for cranks, who
are even more feared than anarchists.
whenever the President travels he is ac-
oompanied by secret service men, one of
whom is his valet. So far is known,
however. no deep conspiracy has ever
been formed against the life of President
Mckinley. The sensational stories with
reference to the anarchists who came
from Italy with the intention of killing
the President have been positively denied
by the secret service agents who handled
the matter, and the anarchists were de-
tanned for deportation because they are
undesirable as citizens. The increase in
the number of cranks, however, makes
II necessary that the President be sur
rounded with the proper protection.
