The United States made a new move
Friday in the game Of diplomacy now
being played in China, and that night
President Mckinley left Washington for
Canton, having disposed of the proposals
made by Germany, Russia, and emma.
Russia proposed the withdrawal or
troops from Pekin This has been dis
posed of by instructing Gen. Chaffee to
withdraw from China, leaving a legation
guard, to consist of one regiment OF IN
fantry, one squadron of cavalry, and
battery of artillery. China urged that
peace negotiations begin at once. With
out agreeing to an independent course,
the President has instructed Minister
Conger to arrange the preliminarles to
peace conference. He has also recog-
nized Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching
as peace commissioners on the part OF
China. Germany suggested the advlsa-
bility of demanding the surrender or
guilty Chinese leaders before the Begin
ming of peace negotiations. On the gem
eral proposition that those responsible
for outrages on foreigners should be pun
ished, this government is in thorough ac-
cord with Germany, but that this should
be done before opening peace negotia-

Gen. Chaffee was instructed to retire
from Pekin with all his troops, 4 except
one regiment of infantry, one squadron
of cavalry, and a battery of artillery.
It was determined that this force should
be quartered in the legation compound
and perform the duties of legation
guard during Minister Conger's stay in
Pekin He will be accompanied by this
guard should he go to any other point to
continue negotiations. The legation
guard will consist Of about 1900 troops.
Battery F of the Fifth Artillery is the
only American battery in China, and this
will form part of the guard. The or
der to Admiral Remey directed him to
prepare to withdraw the marines from
the shore to their respective vessels.
They will then be transferred to Cavite
in the Philippines.
This reduction of the military force in
China leaves on foreign soil but little
less than half of Gen. Chaffee's original
expedition of 5000 men. The withdraw
al is to be made as rapidly as conditions
in China will permit, the troops retiring
to Tien-Tsin gradually and from there
to Taku, where they will embark on the
transports Indiana and Sumner, which
have been held in readiness for such ser
vice. The supply ships now at Taku will
take the bulk Of their cargo to Manila,
leaving in China a supply sufficient to
meet the requirements of the legation
guard for the winter.

Candy.

The weight of opinion is in favor of a
moderate amount of good, pure candy
eaten by children with or soon after
their food, and that it is not only not in
the least detrimental, but is positively
beneficial 1t is the cheap sweets man
ufactured out of injurious compounds
that have drawn upon the practice the
odium of medical men. Pure sweets
contribute valuable force to the human
system, and need not be feared. A Chi
cago physician claims that one can
scarcely eat too much pure chocolate.
Now, if this authority would only go a
little further and tell us how we are to
know the pure from the impure, a great
burden would be lifted from many
mothers, who are anxious to do right
and yet are equally anxious to contrib
ute to their children's happiness. Phil

Lucky Cattle.

In the Darling Range District of
Western Australia, which runs parallel
to the west coast at distance of FROM
ten to twenty-five miles inland, cattle
are taken for few weeks change OF
air to the seaside. 1t is customary
every year for the keepers of stock in
that district to send their cattle for a.
few weeks change Of air to the runs
Immediately bordering on the coast.
The stay of the cattle on the new graz
ing grounds is usually for about six
weeks or a couple of months. The
saline-impregnated heritage, which is
of very coarse fiber, is marvellous
tonic, and the Darling Range herds are
the sleekest and fattest cattle in that
part of the world.

Wild Duck Eggs OF AMMAN.

In certain provinces of AMMAN the
plains literally swarm with geese and
ducks.
This richness has given to several en-
terprising colonists the idea Of profit
ing industrially from the enormous
quantities of eggs produced by these
creatures and which the local consump-
ton is impossible to absorb.
There are factories in several places
which receive the eggs and extract
from them the albumen, which finds so
many uses in the industry and feeding
of Europe. The yellows, submitted to
an antiseptic process, are received apart
and sent to France, where they are EN-
ployed in the white leather trade.
This industry has had rapid ex-
tension. AT the beginning in one fac
tory at Nghe-an, one scarcely received
1900 to 5000 duck eggs a day. Now at
least $4,000 are received on the days
of the great sale, that is to say every
five days. and 10000 each intervening
day, which makes supply of $4,000
eggs day.
The price, which at first was but /
franc per hundred, has been raised to /
franc %. That is yet but 10 confines
the dozen.
Omelettes ought not to be dear in An
nam!

Jumped for the Highest Wager.

In the History of the West Branch
Valley" Mr.. Meginness tells the story
of Marcus Hulings famous jump.
Huling was walking along the river
bank when he suddenly became aware
that he was pursued by Indians. Real
izing that his only hope of safety lay in
fight, he ran with all speed toward the
precipice at Blue Hill, but the Indians
gained on him.
Driven to the edge of the frightful
precipice, with the savages yelling in
his rear, he determined to jump, pre-
ferring to die in this manner rather
than to fall beneath the tomahaWk.
Selling large overhanging branch of
tree, he leaped over the brink and
landed some ninety feet below on a
shelf Of rock, unhurt! From this point
he jumped forty feet farther into the
river, and escaped with only disloca-
ton of his shoulder.
The savages were obliged to run
round for mile, and Huling had time
to make his escape. 1t is supposed that
the branch broke his fall, and saved
his life Huling, on being asked about
it, replied:
