at Picking have been relieved.

is believed that Yuan Shi Kai's troops
have gone thence to Shen 81 to protect
the empress who, according to re-
ports received by local officials here,
with the Tuan imperial household
and the bulk of the army and Boxers,
left Picking August for Hsian Fu.'s
The collapse of the Chinese resist
ance is explained in dispatches from
Shanghai as being due to the failure
of the Chinese to flood the country
below Tung Chow. Earthworks con.

Admirals to Act in Concert.

Washington, August 20.-As the re-
suit OF kilograms between the pow
ers an agreement has been reached by
which all the admirals of the several
powers represented at Shanghai will
act concurrently in the survey or
watching of the Chinese Yang Use
fleet, consisting of four cruisers and
several torpedo boat destroyers, in
stead of having this duty performed
entirely by the British admiral at
Shanghai. AS army transports are
carrying troops of various powers to
China, it has been deemed necessary
to see that Chinese warships do not
attack unprotected transports. The
United States cruiser New Orleans will
participate with other foreign ships
in this duty.

Paris Stirred Up Over British Action.
Respecting Shanghai.
Paris, August 2O.-It being now felt
here that the legations are certainly
saved. attention is already turning
to other phases of the Chinese prob
lem, which are thought sure to give
rise to international jealousies of
most dangerous kind. England's in
tention to land troops at Shanghai
awakens considerable bitterness in
France. England has all along pre-
tended to be acting in the interests of
Europe, and the London Times reit-
crates this pretention in leading
article. But the French papers de-
clare that the English motives are
purely selfish.
The Debats. for example, said last
night: 1T is very significant and
almost grave fact that England has
offered to lend the viceroy of the
province of Wuchang e75,O0O for tho.
payment of his provincial troops"
1t is said the viceroy in question,
Chang Chin Chung, has agreed that
the English troops may land, if no
other nation attempts similar pro.
cedure; whereupon France reminds
England that the French also have
interests and concessions in Shang.
hal and that nobody can prevent oug
landing troops there if we wish.''
England is furthermore accused Of
reviving the spheres of infuenceJ
policy in China "at a moment when
all the powers seem agreed on the
open door plan.''
Germany has sent several ships to
Shanghai and the arrival of French
and Russian warships is announced.
There is a report here that Eng
land has decided not to land her
troops. but to send them instead to
Wei Hal Wei. In discussion of the
subject the Chauvinist paper, La
Press, heads it's article "The Anglo
French conflict and the Patrie SINH
larly. From the French standpoint
in short it now looks as if when Field
Marshal Won Waldersee arrives in
China he will find the allies fighting
among themselves.

British Prestige Hurt.

London, August 2O.-England is
thoroughly irritated over the govern
ment's seemingly changeable course
respecting the landing of troops at
Shanghai. Even the semblance of
yielding to pressure by the powers or
the Chinese viceroys is regarded as i'm
pairing Britain's prestige in the east
and in Europe. The papers, from the
Times down, are lecturing the gov
eminent on its supposed vaccillatiop
and faint-heartedness.

man except he who pays for the re-

IT was Notifying blunder that was
committed few days ago by clerk
of an invitation committee at Chicago.
Invitations to the reception of Dewey,
"the hero of MANILA" were sent out
over the signature of the Mayor, to the
various dignitaries of the country, and
some clerk Inadvertently addressed one
to the Spanish Minister at Washing
ton. The latter was a man of good
sense, and returned it with a note stat
ing that he did not think it an inten-
tional insult, but that it had been sent
to him by mistake. Mayor Harrison
promptly apologized to the Minister, and
our Minister at Madrid begged pardon
of the Spanish Government, and war
was averted, and we were saved the
troubles and vexations that would have
followed other additions to our island
empire. That clerk ought to be boot
ed by Chicago foot.

CHAPTER XVII.


The letter which Philip had received
follows:
Rev. Philip Strong, Pastor Calvary Church, Mil
ton:
Dear Sir and Brother-The seminary at Fairview
has long been contemplating the addition to its
prefessorship of chair of sociology. The lack of
funds and the absolute necessity of sufficient en-
dowment for such chair have made it impossi-
BILE hitherto for the trustees to make any definite
move in this direction. recent legacy, OF which
YOU have doubtless heard, has made the founding
of this new professorship possible. And now the
trustees by unanimous vote have united upon you
as the man best fitted to fill this chair of sociolo-
gy We have heard of your work in Milton and
know of it personally. We are assured you are
the man for this place. We therefore tender you
most heartily the position of professor OF soclolo-
gy at Fairview seminary at a salary OF $500 a
year and a preliminary years absence, either
abroad or in this country, before you begin actual
labors with the seminary.
With this formal call on the part of the trustees
goes the most earnest desire the part of all the
professors of the seminary who remember you in
your marked undergraduate success as student
here. You will meet with the most loving well
come, and the seminary will be greatly strength
ened by your presence in this new department.
We are, in behalf of the seminary, very cordially
yours, The TRUSTEES.

silence, and then Sarah said:

do you call it the finger Of PrOvi-
dence because it points the way you
want to go?" asked Philip, with a
smile. But his face instantly grew So

cited by the call to Fairview. 1t had
come at time when he was in con-
dition to be very much moved by it.
