Since Uncle Sam expanded and put on long brooches about two years ago ard made himself conspicuously nu- merous in the realms of his neighbors his law abiding and domestic citizen have been endeavoring to msster the unprcnoupcable names which have fill cd the papefs and they have had about as good luck at it as the uninitlated who for the first time tries to master the nativity of Christ. In the first place came the Spanish and Cuban jaw breakers followed by the Philippine tongue twisters, next came the outland- ish names of South Africa and now come the double-jointed. humped- back. ed dislocaters from China. Its a great thing to get acquainted with oul neighbors but it's expensive Tn more ways than one.

Prisoners In Peking.

London, July 31.--Assuming that the
ENJOYS are still alive. the powers are
now confronted byla problem without
parallel since 1868. when Emperor
Theodore of Abysainia threatened to
massacre the British envoy and all the
ether foreigners whom he held as hos
tagss. il tho English army, under Lord
Napier, persisted in advancing upon his
capital. t,.... -...l- .-,-.
Today the Chinese authorities, in pre-
cisely the same manner, give the powers
TO understand that from the moment
that any advance il made upon Peking
every foreigner in the latter city, as well
as elsewhere in the interior OF China,
will be put to death. ~ @
In 1868 the English did not allow
threats OF this kind to arrest, even for a
single day, their march. upon Magdala.
From dispatches received today from
China it would seem that General Sir
Alfred Gazelee and the allied command
srs do not purpose to allow analogous
menaces on the part Of Ii Hung Chang
and others to stay their advance upon
Peking. which was to have begun today,
The government here disclaims all re-
sponsibility, leaving the decision with
