and act as exporters and importers for the native firms.
 "The compradore occupies similar posi- ton with the foreign merchant in China important difference, however, that all though in he capacity of an employe in selling to the native trade, the compra- dore frequently finances the foreign firm by whom he Is employed and has a share in the general profits of the business.
 Generally speaking, the Chinese mer- chants are thoroughly responsible in their transactions with foreigners. Foreign mer- chants in Shanghai and Hong Kong have no hesitancy whatever in executing orders for their native customers without other security than a signed order and a China mans word in business is better than the 25 per cent bargain money of the Japan csc. The Chinese merchant abhors every thing in business transactions which he may determine as no proper, and the for eigner who resorts to tricks of trade Is commercially doomed by these people. The Chinese are much quicker to grasp busi- ness proposition than the Japanese, and 1t is an easy matter for the foreigner &C., quainted with the vernacular pigeon Eng lish' to dispense with the services of an interpreter Pigeon Is a most terse and expressive language In itself, for instance, the writer had the personal experience in offering some American goods to large native merchant, and after giving informal ton as to the cost and other details, the Chinaman abruptly interrupted the con- Versation with the remark: 'Walkee car go, sleepy cargo which interpreted meant: Is the cargo on the way, is 1t in ware house here? When 1t was explained that the shipment was en route, the negotia- tions were satisfactorily ended by the Chi naman's further terse remark: Can do twill buy) which words delight the heart of the commercial missionary seeking busi- ness amongst the Chinese.
 "Whatever may be the faults of the Chi nese as nation, it is conceded by all for eign residents with general experience in the Orient, that intellectually and in com mercial morality these people are far supe- rior to all other Asiatic races"

VAST TERRITORY
IS INUNDATED
Heavy Rains in the South Do Enor-
nous Damage to Crops
and Bridges.

ATLANTA, GA, June 25.-Reports re-
ceived here from many points in Georgia
and portions OF Alabama and South Caro-
lima show that the recent heavy rains have
inundated a vast territory and caused
enormous damage TO bridges and farm
property Crops, including cotton, corn
and especially fruit, which was nearing
maturity when the wet season began,
have been greatly Injured and caused a
loss of a vast mount to the farmers of the
Southern states. The rainfall has been
unprecedenttetl. All the streams are out of
thei1. banks and carrying bridges and fer
ries away in large numbers.
The suh-structure OF the new bridge over
the Ocumu!gee River was carried away
to-day. Reports say the Savannah River
at Augusta was twenty-nine feet at noon,
and rising two inches per hour. The mills
there are. closed down, owing to the back
water in the canal.
At Rome, Ca, the river is eighteen feet
above dow water mark, and rising one
inch per hour Al West Point, Ga, the
Chattahoosee River reached twenty feet
above low water to-day.
a tornado was reported near Huntsville,
Ala, sweeping the country, but no loss OF
life is known. The oWlands have been de-
.yastated, and only the higher lands are nn-
touched Indications are for a cessation of
the rain, which will cause the streams to
fall ranidly.

ASKS FOR ARMlSTICE.
The Request of Minister WI Could
Not Be Granted.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The Chief
development to-day il the Chinese sltua-
ton was the effort of the Chinese Minis
ter, WI Ting Fang, to secure an armistice
in the operation of American troops unul
LII Hung Chang could reach Pelsin and
bring about a cessation of the disorder
The proposition is based upon the repre-
sentatons Of the Viceroys Of the pro-
vinces of the Yang-Tse kiang Valley
that they can maintain order without the
aid of foreign troops.
Minister Wu brought these representa-
tions to the attention of Secretary hay,
who consulted the President. The latter $
decision was that the United States could
not bind itself not TO send its forces
to points where the safety of our ofhclais
and citizens was endangered
Secretary Long said at / 2. NJ. when
he left the Navy Department for the day;
that nothing had come from Admiral
Kempff on the casualties in the first en-
-gaSement of the American marines with
the Chinese or the outcome of the second
enga cement, which was to have occurred
yesterday or Saturday.
The only dispatch received by the Sec
retary was a belated one from Kemoff,
asking for instructions as TO whether he
should cooperate with the other naval
forces in taking the Taku forts.
The State Department remained
throughout the day without communt-
cation from Minister Conger, or any other
source, the only dispatch received being
from Consul Gocdnow, at Shanghai, say
ing he had heard nothing from Pelin
since the 14th. On the whole, the day
was one of anxiety and a lack Of definite
information on the main points.

B0URKE C0CKRAN'S
ADDRESS AT YALE
Legal Status Of Newly Acquired Is
lands Most important Question
Euar RaGnra q Court

NEW HAVEN, CONN, June CIV.
Bourke Cochran addressed the gradu-
ating class of the Yale Law School this
evening at the University exercises. He
said the young men OF the graudaunS
class We're entering their profession on
the eve of a most momentous decision
ever given by a court. referring to the
pending question before the Supreme
Court Of the United States on the legal
aspect of the acquired territory.
Should the Supreme Court decide that
the Constitution applies TO newly acquired
islands and that their products and peo-
pie have free access to our shores, TO our
ports and to our marts Of trade, both
political parties will be as earnest IN the
desire TO be rid OF them as one party
already seems 10 be, said Mr.. Cochran.
ANNEXATION OF MENICO.
THE United States right to take terri
tory is not disputed The annexation of
Canada is d wish of many Americans.
The annexation OF Mexico is not an i'm
preba bility, nor the taking in of South
America an improbab bilify. Nor is the
annexation of part Of China to-day quite
SO fanciful as three years ago the an
neNation of the Philippines would have
been considered. Ii is not impossibls
Of part Of the wall Of China may be
a burning political question.
III, on the other hand, the Supreme
Court should hold that the Constitution
of the United States does not hold, then,
too. the consequences are momentous.
"A governments policy can be changed
but tho decree OF court stands irrevocable.
What might be the status Of the President
in the government which Congress might
set up for the islands? The President might
il is quite conceivable, remain a Republi-
can magistrate only il the original republic
and his status range from that. in the de-
pendencies, TO a despotic military ruler. IN
deed, Congress might remove the Capitol
from Washington ana set il up outside the
bounds OF the power Of the constitution
when created it, It could levy taxes, not
for the benefit of the governed, but for the
benefit of the governors. These are conse-
GuenceS which might flow from a decision
OF the court You can now measure for
yourselves the magnitude OF the question
which the court can decide by its declara-
ton"
