HEROIC AMERICANS.
Yankee Sailors Rescue French Sea-
 man in Algiers Harbor.

Washington, December 28-The Navy Department today received reports of ac- counts of heroism by American sailors. Captain Chester of the Kentucky forward ed the letter of Rear Admiral Seryan. com- manding the French naval forces in AL giers, speaking in warm praise of the he roic conduct of Paul Ausseress and Hugh Patrick Mullin, in rescuing a French sea man in the harbor of Algiers while the Kentucky was there. Lieutenant Com mander Jesse M. Roper of the Petrel tells how H. J. Coxe, ship steward; D. J. Full Ter, R. A. Parsons and J. Ward, sailors, risked their lives on board ship in Manila Bay A small pox patient was taken on board hulk and attended night and day by the hospital steward. The sailors then screwed as funeral party and were obliged to undergo thirty days quarantine and to have all their clothes destroyed. Acting Secretary Racket sent to each one of the men named a testimonial of the ap- preciation in which their services are held by the department.

Nathan Hale.

Of all noble pursuits and ambitions to which a man may aspire that of military spy is one that carries with it a glory that is scarcely commensurate with its perilous hazard. The odium that ordinarily would attach to a calling that essentially requires for it's success the capacity for dissembling and deception would probably repel the average man of integrity and high princi- ples. It would seem therefore to demand a superior calibre in a man who. while real izing the externally opprobious attributes that are required in the profesisoh of spy, still is able to reconcile Its pursuit with the loftiest ideals of honor The principal and actuating motive of such man would be sublime sense of patriotism-an utter

WHY THE CHINESE
 HATE FOREIGNERS
Minister Wu Explains the Situa-
 ton Quite Clearly
BROUGHT IT ON THEMSELVES
confuscius Taught chnamen to be Kind to the Stranger from Afar, But the Privilege Extended
 Has Been Badly Abused

New York, December 2S--Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister to the United States, addressed the Outlook Club of Montclair N. J., tonight on the "causes of the un- popularity of foreigners in China
 Mir Wu said in part that the Chinese were not originally opposed to the foreign er The cause was that the first corners adopted the best customs in the country in which they visited. Continuing he said
 "Confuscius taught all men to be kind to the stranger from afar. Marco Polo had long ago occupied a position of great hon. or and trust under the Chinese govern ment. Other men had lived in China and been honored and respected. Why had the change come and why was there today hostility to the foreigner hostility con trary to the laws of the great teacher and contrary to the first glad welcome?
 'tMr. Wu said to his mind It was caused by the difference between the foreigner in China today and those of long ago. One class of foreigners in China was the mer- chant and trader. Those men did not adopt Chinese customs nor make them selves part of the people. Their only obs ject seemed to be to get as much as pos sible out of the country and to give as lit- tie as possible in return.
 These include the missionaries who con tributed toward the ill-feeHng. While some were as noble men as ever lived, there were others who were too ardous, and who want ed to convert a vast nation from an ancient belief all at once, and because China did not adopt their teachings they slandered China and the Chinese. They were in too much of a hurry The foreigner of today dresses in his national costume while in China, and thereby makes himself every where conspicuous.
 ''The converts too, had done their share toward the change in feeling because when they had come into close union with the of. lending foreigners they took on some of his ways and gave offense to those who had been his friends. Those converts forsook the time-honored customs of their nation, and looked down on the unconverted fel- low countrymeu.
 "AIl foreigners in China by treaty rights are subject not to Chinese law. Was 1t any wonder that there was ill-feeling when the natives saw foreigners doing things which, if done by chinaman, would cause him to be punished. There were foreigners who took the punishment of Chinamen of in their own hands for offenses, and he had seen coolies kicked and beat ten"

effacement of himself in his country need Such a man was Nathan Halel Though only 21 years old when called upon to sac rifice himself for his country, and rising above the superficial aspect of ignomy that a narrower mind would discover in the thought of being a spy. he gladly and promptly volunteered to assume this haz- ardous task. His words as they are re- corded by Clyde Fitch in his remarkable play of Nathan Hale," will life forever as a glorifcaton of what must be regarded as noble calling. When 1t was suggested that the action of a spy was dishonorable he said Nothing that Is done for ones country's need can be dishonorable. The fact that it is necessary makes the action honorable"
 This noble hero is the central figure of the play that will be the attraction at the Jefferson Theatre next Monday and Tues day. with a New Years matinee. The pro- duction, including all It's scenery and cos- tunes as it was seen during It's long run at the Knckerbocker Theatre, New York, will be presented here in it's entirety, and it is said that the company that will in- terpret it is as competent in the minor parts as it is in the prlncipals-Mr Howard Kyle and Miss Nannette Comstock, who play. re- spectively, the martyr spy and his sweet heart Alice Adams

Hard on Hannah.

From the Washington Star.
 Two wise-looking ladies sat in the mem- bers' gallery few days ago, deeply intek, ested in the proceedings on the floor of the House of Representatives. They wers strangers, viewing Congress for the first time.
 "Tell me-" one of them said, addressing another spectator in the gallery, "who is that now in the moderator's chair?'
 The House being in committee of the whole MT. Sherman of New York was pre- siding. On being told that Sherman was in the chair, the lady remarked:
 Then General Henderson is no longer moderator? Or is 1t that he sits at the other wing of the capitol?"
 What women are there in Congress now?" she asked, after brief survey of the House. None, do you say? Why, was sure there was at least one woman representative In Congress- I thought there were two. When did they retirep'
 Being told that there never had been woman in Congress, she could hardly give expression to her surprise.
 ''Why, you must be mistaken! What is this I have seen in the New York papers so often about people asking What is tho matter with Hannah? with reference to action in Congress? I have heard lots about the doings of Hannah in Congress-. and there was another woman too Ber- tha or Bertie ;yes, that's 1t, Bertte Adams.

DIVE KEEPERS INDIC TED.

 State Officials.

Chicago, December 2S.-Keepers of four teen 'sdives" and gambling houses were in- dicted by the Grand Jury today as the re- sult-of the inquiry into crime and vice in Chicago The work will be continued tomor- row Of the fourteen indictments four were against alleged keepers of gambling houses and ten against proprietors of basement and other resorts, on the charge of conducting disorderly places.

 Those indicted on the charge of keeping common gaming houses are State Senator John Frederick, Louis Frank and Julius Frank, Dennis Foley and A. Bernstein.
 It was asserted tonight that the voting of indictments against dive-keepers is but the preliminary action toward returning true bills against number of prominent mu- nicipal officers. who are responsible for the enforcement of all laws and ordinances.

UNKNOWN NEGRO BOY
Found Dead in Pond at Ensley-The
 Coroner Investigates.

An unknown negro boy, about fl years of age, was found dead in a pond near the rod mill at Ensley early yesterday morn ing, and his death is shrouded in mystery, although Coroner Paris, who made an in- vestigation, believes that the boy fell into the pond and was drowned
 As soon as the body was discovered the coroner was notified and went at once to the scene.
 The discharge from the boilers of the rod mill empties into the pond, and the water is kept almost at boiling heat, and when the body was taken out It was almost cooked. The investigation developed the fact that the boy was subject to fits and it is supposed that he wandered near the pond and was attacked with one of his spells and fell in.
 According to the testimony of several wit nesses the boy arrived in Ensley on Thurs day and stated that he had been driven from the home of his aunt in Bessemer, who he said had burned him with red hot poker, evidence of which he bore in the shape of terrible scars on his head, arms and body. He claimed that his mother lived at Akron, and Coroner Paris is anx- ious to locate his relatives.

PRESIDENCY OF THE
 STATE UNIVERSITY Much Interest in the Coming
 Meeting of Trustees AS TO POWERS RESIGNATION General Belief is That it Will be Ae- cepted-A Movement on Foot for
 the University to Have
 No President.
AS TO POWERS RESIGNATION

Tuscaloosa, December 2S.-(SpeciaL)-In terest in the meeting of the trustees of the University of Alabama, to be held in this place on January 9, is being greatly mani fested. The question is, what will the trustees do in regard to the presidency and another matter is, will the trustees abol- ish the military feature of the university?
 When it was announced here that Presi- dent Powers had resigned, his resignation to be effective in June, 1901, there were many who believed that the president did not mean exactly what was indicated by his resignation. They thought that possi- bly, the resignation was sent in with the hope that it would not be accepted by the trustees, which action on the part of the latter would be a vote of confidence in and vindication of the present head of the university. However, this supposition was entirely erroneous, 1t appears, as President Powers states most emphatically that his resignation Is in earnest and that it was sent in in good faith So of course there is practically no doubt about the resignation of Dr. Powers being accepted. The question of a successor will be a hard one for the trustees to settle
 There Is a sentiment here, and said to exist among the faculty also, that the uni- versity can get along very well. indeed, without a president, substituting in his place some member of the faculty who will be chosen as chairman of the faculty, who, with the assistance of the other members, will control the school.
