FATALIsM IN EVERYTHING,

'"The fataIsm of the Chinese shows itself il
all their doings, and this makes them take mat
ters generally in a philosophical manner. The
culprit when he is taken to execution, has hii
hands tied at his back, but is neither otherwise
bound nor blndfolded. He kneels and calmly
awaits the stroke of the headsman, This lack
of fear makes them good soldiers also, so far as
fighting qualities are concerned; but they have

WAYS OF MISSIONARIES.
EDWARD RUNGE BELIEVES THEIR IN

DECLARES THAT THE NATIVES ARE MAKING A
FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHTS-TEE

The Chinese question Is not viewed in the same
light by many people who have lived in that
country as it is by the people whose chief source
of information is the missionary. This was
demonstrated by the remarks of Edward Runge
who returned from China a few months ago,
where he had been for several years as the rep
resentative of large business concern.
Mr Runge said The trouble in China is
nothing more than uprising of the people
against system under which they have suf-
fered for many years, and for which the mis-
sionaries are In a great measure responsible.
The Chinese doing now what the forty

SCHLEY'S COUSIN
Is In Trouble Over Disappearance of
Her Husband.

Chicago, Jan. 4.-Charles A. Tracey,
confidential boolkkeeper for F. P. Bag
ley & Co., marble dealers has disap-
peared. Neither the wife of the missing
man nor the employers can give a rea-
son for Tracey's disappearance.
On Sunday afternoon. December 10,
Tracey disappeared from the home of
G. w. Townsend. Townsend and his
wife are bOokkeepers and as an expert
accountant Tracey had been assisting
Townsend and had worked with him on
the Sunday afternoon preceding his dis
appearance.
According to Mrs. Townsend's state
ment Tracey came to the house at 3
o'clock, worked with her husband over
the books until 4:15 and then started
home, walking east toward the Cottage
Grove avenue cars. Since that hour the
bookkeeper has not been seen in Chi
cago
For year Tracey had been troubled
with exhausted nerves. At the Office of
the marble firm Mr.. Bagley said Ira
cey's books and accounts were in per-
feet condition and he could not account
for the boOkkeeper's disappearance.
Mrs. Tracey is a daughter of David
Hardie of Philadelphia, who at his
death ten years ago was chief engineer
in the United States navy and full
cousin of Admiral Sehley. She was
married to Mr.. Tracey in Philadelphia
on November 80, 1887.

A NEW POINT.
Regarding Liability of Shareholders
In National Banks

Chicago, Jan. A new point under
the statute which holds a shareholder
in q national bank liable for assess
ment on the stock is made in a decision
handed down in the United States cir
cult court of appeals by Judges Woods,
Bum and Allen. The ruling was on the
appeal of E. T. Wilson, receiver of the
First National bank of Helena against
the Merchants Loan & Trust company
of Chicago and the judges affirm the
decree of the lower court, which abb
solved the trust company from liabil-
ity.
The original action was begun in the
United States circuit court by the re-
ceiVer of the First National bank of
Helena, who sought to recover an as
sessment of 800 a, share on 120 shares
of the stock of the institution.
April Is, 1898, Shirley c. Ashley.
president of the Helena National
bank, borrowed of the trust company
900 and gave as collateral security
stock of the bank. In the following
July Ashley assigned and resigned the
presidency of the bank, being succeed
ed by L. D. Edgerton. In April, 1896,
the Helena National bank was CONSOLE
dated with the First National bank of
that city and an allowance of 80 per
cent on their stock was granted to
shareholders of the former bank. BY
this arrangement the $50 shares of Ash
ley were converted into 120 shares,
though it is claimed this was done by
the trust company without his consent.
The court holds that it is not shown
that this conversion was not effected
by the authority of Ashley.

State Binding Irvine Plant Is
Not Satisfactory.
BIunders Made In Providing
For Power.
WILL NOT ACCEPT.
Governor Insists That Defects
Be RemedIed at Once.
Board Of Penitentiary Directors
Discussing the Natter.

Governor Stanley has communicated
with the board of directors of the state
penltentiary, suggesting that the state
binding Irvine plant be not accepted by
the board until some minor but i'm
portant requirements are complied
with.
Since the work has been completed
and the machinery has been started the
boilers do not show sufficient capacity
to furnish power to run the whole plant
and this lack of power is the puzzle
which the governor wants solved.
In the specifications it seems that the
estimate was defective and the fiues or
chimneys are not large enough to fur
nish drafts sufficient to develop the
power of the boilers.
The contractors and the board agree
that the original estimate is responsible
for the defects, but the board wants
the remedy applied before the work
is accepted
The power now furnished by the boil
ers is sufficient to operate part of the
plant and will move the machinery but
1t is not capable of pressure necessary
to propel the machinery when it is OPP
Grating in the manufacture of binding
twlne- The directors of the prison are
now in session at the institution.
The Irvine plant is working and the
supply of raw material is large enough
to continue operations for some weeks.
Unless the market stringency is soon
relieved the supply Of raw material
may become exhausted.
Warden J. B. Tomlinson and one of
the directors of the state penitentiary
will go to Mexico this month t . investi-
gate the market of raw material which
may be applied to the manufacture of
binding twine for the state penitentiary
plant which is now in operation.
The New York market handles the
Manila fiber which at this time is very
expensive. The Mexico and Central
America fiber is handled in Mexico and
is said to be very much cheaper and of
as good quality as that from the Phil
iDpineS.

WHITE IS ACTIVE
Claimed That Census Supervisor
Openly Helps Bailey.

Although it is claimed Andy White
was instructed by the president and
Senator Baker, under penalty of losing
his job as census supervisor, to refrain
from taking part in the campaign for
congress in the First district, the warn
ing seems to have been unheeded.
1t is reported from Atchison by re-
liable men that White recently attended
a conference of the Bailey workers and
in the canvass of names submitted as
applicants for the places of enunerators
in Atchison county, Mr.. White told the
Bailey men the persons to select. The
selections are to be made, it is also said,
upon the recommendation of White and
the men are those who are now and can
in the future be relied upon as active
partisans of Mr.. Bailey.
1t may be that the complications sur
rounding Mr.. White may yet get him
into trouble. Charles Curtis is keeping
his eye on the situation closely.

REFUSED A TOW.
And the Victoria Has Not Been Heard
of Since.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 4-Twenty
per cent reinsurance was today offered
on the transport Victoria, which sailed
on October II from this port for Manila.
The Victoria broke the thrust block
of her main shaft on November 9 about
$500 miles off Manila, near n number of
rock island. She took from here hay
and oats and railroad iron
The transport refused a tow from the
Tartar possibly for the reason that she
wanted to avoid paying salvage. Both
vessels were in the employ of the gov
eminent, but both being under charter,
a delicate question might have arisen in
regard to the tow bill. The Victoria is
chartered at so much a day, but the
government will not pay the price for
the time the vessel is drifting about
the Pacific. The Victoria is an iron
steamer of 1900 tons.
