A Happy Old Age in Burmah.

When Burman parents are past their
prime their children pray them to
"nobosat.' which neal that they
should be at the children's charge for
the remainder of their lives. as the
children had first been at their
parents. The turning point is not
marked by any Formally. but a child
approaching parents on a solemn oc-
casion adopts the gestures Of venera-
ton. The aged are not idle: they pre-
serve a great elasticity Of mind and
interest in things; they study their re-
ligious book and occupy themselves
with their grandchildren. When they
are too old to &c on pilgrimages with
the others they keep the house and tell
their beads alone. The old people

and returned to the hunting grounds
in defiance OF the agreement of Agen.
Myton.
In a strong letter to Governor
Thomas. Agent Jay insisted that the
only relief would be in sending out
state troops or deputies in sufficient
force to overcome the Indians and
drive them back to their reservations
o. kill them. Accordingly Governor
Thomas notified the authorities at
Washington that unless the Indians
a. once withdrew he would proceed
against them with an armed force and
act under the state game law. The
clash between the state and federal
authorities mean business.
The last time an attempt was made
to drive the Indians out of the state
several lives were lost. and even then
the benefit derived was only tempo
rary. The state authorities contend
that the federal officers make no at
tempt whatever to keep the Indians on
the reservations, and even though it
may result in loss of life. they feel that
decisive action will be the only posi-.
bic means of enforcing the game laws.

The United States spent about 500

country's demand for damage to per-

powers are actively swelling their ex-
penses as much as possible.
Punishment of the Princes.
New York, Nov. 2O.-There is a
growing feeling of Impotence in Lon
don over the delay in effecting a set
Element of the Chinese question, says
a Tribune cablegram. The English
press frankly confesses that it is weary
hearing about punitive expeditions to
one quarter or another. and that it con
siders it hardly worth while to keep all
China in a state of turmoil. preventing
thereby the restoration of the normal
trade relations in order to punish a
few criminals who cannot be caught
while the court remains in exile.
English opinion will not be fully ex-
pressed until the cues are provided by
the foreign office, but it is fairly safe
to assume that it supports tie Ameri-
can contention that the most urgent
requirement of the situation is the es-
adjustment at Pekin of a government
with the essential elements of stabil-
ity and authority. Since there can be
no substitute for the empress rule, her
return to the capital seems a foregone
conclusion. The punishment Of the
princes. especially Tuan. is the chief
obstacle to a settlement. The latest
dispatches indicate that the European
powers are gradually coming to a de-
cision on the preliminaries If peace
on which general negotiations may be
opened. The trend of events indicates
that the European powers are slowly
approaching the American position on
the whole matter.

SION WILL RE-
PORT.
A Report That Burglars Had Broken
In for the Purpose Of Getting the
Report and Use the Information
in Advance-No Fortifications to
Be Erected.

New ork, Nov. 20.-It was reported
/ Washington, says a Herald special
that burglars who were after the forth
coming report of the Walker Isthmian
canal commission, had entered the Cor.
coran building. in which the commits.
sion has its offices. and had broken op,
en- the desk of Lieutenant Commander
Stanton. secretary of the commission
Lieutenant Commander Staunton
said last night that when he tried to
open his desk a day or two ago he dis,
covered hat the lock was broken. His
impression was that it was the work of
burglars, who for some purpose were
seeking to get advance information
about the conclusion of the report. He
sem for a locksmith. who persuaded
him hat the desk had not been broken
open, but hat the lock had become
disarranged in the course of usage.
The incident treated great excite
ment among the members of the COM
mission. The report of the commission
is being very closely s~afeguarded and
it is said some Of the commissioners
are not yet acquainted with what the
report will contain.
The Nicaraguan Route.
The best information o%btainable at
Washington is that the commission
certainly by a vote Of five to four. and
possibly by six to three-will recon
mend the Nicaraguan route. This is
based upon several differences as well
as upon statements from the commits
sioners themselves.
1t is said that President Mckinley
has received sufficient information
about the report for use in his mes
sage. The message. if in line with the
rumor, will advocate the adoption Of the
Nicaraguan route, the ratification of
Hay-Paunceforte treaty; the construc-
ton of the canal without Notifications,
and the adoption of tolls discriminating
in favor of the United States, Costa
Rica and Nicaragua only. so far as
coastwise vessels are concerned. and
leaving the canal open to all the ship
ping of the world.
Final estimates of the cost of a Mic
araguan canal have not yet been com
pleted. The engineers are still work.
ing on the figures.
Approximate figures of the cost OF the
Nicaraguan canal are believed to lie
about $3.50, 0OO, 900.
The commission will resume its ses-
sion in Washington on Thursday and
it is expected to remain at work
throughout the week.

CHINA MORTGAGE

ING AT.
United States to Drop Out-Powers
Proceeding Arbitrarily With the
Intention of Bringing About a
Situation That Will Compel Dis
memberment.

New York, Nov. 2O.-The China ne,
gotiations, according to a dispatch to
the Times from Washington, have
reached a most serious stage. The
actions OF the powers are making par,
tition almost inevitable. The United
States faces the probability that it will
either have to take a slice of China or
go without any indemnity. In that
case. it is positively asserted by high
authorities that the United States will
go without indemnity.
The United States may succeed in
reducing the demands of other powers,
and Is making every effort to that end,
but with no immediate prospect of sue
cess.
Every nation has disavowed any in
tention of Remembering China, but
al a punishment for the Boxer out
RACES. No nation has pledged itself to
avoid taking a course which vii Don
er or later make ACKNOWLEDGMENT in
evitable. 1t Is firmly believed in Off
cial circles in Washington that the
powers are proceeding deliberately
with the intention of bringing about a
situation which will compel dismem-
berment.
The whole question hinges on the
amount Of the money indemnity to be
demanded. While the United States
has not officially set a maximum figure
for the indemnity, 1t is the unofficial
opinion Of some of the highest officers
of the government that 5000. 000. 900 is
all that China can pay. The powers
are DESTROYS OF swelling the indemnity
t. at least twice that amount.
Two courses are considered for the
payment OF this large indemnity.
Each is innocent on its face, but both
mean partition. and the American gov
eminent is so sure of it that as soon as
the powers adopt either course this
country will retire from the concert
and lose all but a faint chance of ever
recovering any indemnity.

One course is to exact territorial

look for a fusion, but do look for

What's the difference" asked
one of the listeners.
I'VE had a fusion in Boise two
years ago. The offices were di-
vided and each party to the ar
rangement nominated its quota.
II at Pocatello only one convention
is held by the delegates who go
there to hold three, there will be a
union.
He explained further by stating
that it was not improbable that all
tIree conventions would unite at
Poca,ello and nominate a ticket.
Il could be called the democratic
ticket for all he cared.
In other words, the democratic
party would swallow up the popu'
lists and silver republicans and
they would be democrats he was

The political storm center of the
fusion factions has been removed
this year to Pocatello. The recent
meeting at Boise is notable for the
beautiful harmony which pervaded
the political atmosphere. But the
secret of this sweet peace is re-
vealed by the interview which we
copy from the Statesman. There
will be no fusion attempted at Poca-
tello, but rather union of all fac
tons under the banner OF dsmoc-
racy. The lion and the lambs will
lie down together, but with the

The insincerity of democratic
pretensions is illustrated by the
performances in the house of repre-
sentatives over the Puerto Rican
tariff bill. On the day of the pas
sage OF the bill temporarily regu-
lating the tariff relations between
the island and the United States
they were rending the air with
their shrieks in favor of the Puerto
Ricaus and demanding free trade
between that island and the United
States. The next day the presi-
dent sent to the house a message
proposing to return to the Puerto
Ricans every dollar that had been
paid on duties collected on their
products since the United States
took possession Of the island, and
all that shall be collected in the
future, thus giving them practi-
cally what the democrats had
clamored for and handsome lump
sum over So 600, 900 for immedi-
ate relief Of their sufferings. Yet,
behold those same democrats
who on Thursday demanded this
very same thing in principle, on
Friday were found bending eve y
energy to defeat II, by speeches,
by flibustering, by treachery of all
sorts, by fair means or foul. No
wonder the public refuses longer
to accept the utterances OF leaders
OF such party as sincere or wor-
thy of serious consideration.
