have agreed to observe the following
principles regarding mutual policy

"Firstly-It is matter of joint per-
manent International interest that the
ports on the rivers and littoral of
China should remain free and open to
trade and to every other legitimate
form of economic activity for the peo-
pies of all countries, without distinc-
tion; and the two governments agree
on their part to uphold the same for
all Chinese territory as far as they
can exercise influence.
"Secondly-Both governmentsag agree
that they not. on their part, make
use of the present complication to OBJ
tain for themselves any territorial ad.
vantage in Chinese dominion, and will
direct their policy toward maintain.
ing undiminished the territorial con.
dition of the Chinese empire.
"Thirdly-In case of another power
making use of the complications il
China in order to obtain, under any
form whatever, such territorial advan

to preliminary understanding re

ests in China.
"Fourthly-The two government
will communicate this agreement t,
the other powers interested, especial.
Austra-Efungary, France. Italy, ia

and invite them to accept the princi
pie, recorded in it,"
The agreement, while it savors o

of any other power. is not looked up

years. At that time he married Miss
Annie N. Gardner, of Nelson county, II
cousin of Mr.. Thos. Nelson Page. and
bought n farm In that section. His
wife and daughter, Amy Dorothy
Walpole. still live there.
He was of rowing disposition, and
spent most of his time wandering in
all parts of the globe, engaged In all
sorts of occupations. He was a de-
scendent of Sir Horace Walpole, and
was heir presumptive to the fifth Earl
of Oxford. He was born in England
In 1858. and educated at Oxford Uni
versity. He held n commission in a
crack British regiment, but was COM
PEELED to resign and was granted an
allowance of $1,000 year on the con-
dition that he would not return to
England. He came to this country
twenty years ago. He lived also in
Australia. Africa, and Egypt. He
often visited Cuba and Florida. where
he engaged In the business of shipping
oranges. and in Texas he became a
cowboy.

Nothing daunted, he accompanied the

teamster. At the outbreak or hoStili-
ties between England and the Boer
republics Mr.. Walpole made another
effort to see active service. lie left
New Orleans last December as a
muleteer on board the Montezuma. A
number of cowboys vert in the same
capacity, but they found the life too
hard and too laborious. and the
English aristocrat was the only one
who went over in the ship who did not
desert. His last letter to his wife con-
veyed the news that he was in South
Africa. and was working on rail-
road until his expected remittance
at last. and Joined the ranks. He was
among the first to fall in the battle
above mentioned.
A few years ago Mr.. Walpole came

great force and power such Il voice be-
comes n sort of I'hors hammer to
shiver the argument of an adversary
or drive home the orators logic and fix
1t liz the mind OF the nearer.
1t does not always follow that an ef-
fective voice is we'd to. or directed by
a strong intellect. The rule is the re-
verse of this. and 1t is the exceptions
TO the rule that give the world Its
great popular authors.
Another thing Is also worthy of no
tice in this behalf: Every great orator
methods. Even his infections must be
his own, and it is very seldom that
they are In harmony with the teachings
OF the books. The great orator may
appropriate much OF value from the
training of the elocutionist, but the
great orator is a law unto himself.
l once knew Il preacher who spoke in
sonorous sing-song, which he made
most effective by defying the rules of
the elocutlonist. He was neither a pro-
found scholar nor a great thinker, but
the magic of his voice would hold thou
sands in almost breathless attention,
where n moro gifted man, with less
sympathetic and melodious voice, would
utterly fail to interest his hearers.
Henry Clay's reputation as a great
public speaker arose largely from his
sonorous voice and well-rounded pc
RODS. Thomas Corwin. who was q
greater speaker than he, dealt meHein
humor. of which he was the most con-
spicuous master that ever appeared in
American politics. He always thought
mot without cause) that his very read
mess to convulse an audience with
laughter detracted from his fame, and
gave the solemn, sonorous speaker, like
Clay, great advantage with the repu-
tation makers.
Caleb Is. Smith had lisp In his
speech. which. however. was scarcely
distinguishable in the rapid fire of his
clear soprano utterances. Smith was
not great on the printed page. but as
popular orator on the stump he had
no superior and few equals. Cassius
NJ. Clay roared like a railway train
speeding over long trestle, but in the
rumble his words were. at little dis
lance. indistinct. I was not so with
Smith. AS far rs you could hear the
ringing tones of his voice you could
distinguish his words and follow the
line of his thought although he spoke
with much more rapidity than Clay.
George w. Julian spoke very slowly
and distinctly. He was the best master
the state ever produced. A bitter word
grew terrible as it fell from his lips.
D. w. voorhees, was the orator of
lofty flight and startling smile. His
voice could accommodate itself to every
change of thought or modification of
feeling. He could strew flowers one
moment, or reve In the haunts of des-
olation and death the next. His voice
was his servant, and he was more the
actor than the logician.
Morton was an imagebreaker When
other men wrought fanciful creations OF
frail materials. finished in beautiful
patterns, his merciless logic hcighten-
ed by the wonderful depth and force
of his voice, went crashing through
them to make plain the truth which
they had obscured.
The power of the voice was so great
that when he used to read his keynote

his hand before him. not one person in
