The Cologne Volks Zeitung publishes
statements to the effect that a Cath

from China states that the emperor is
the prime inStigatOr of the present war
in China, citing a number of proofs

WASHINGTON, April il.-At special
meeting of the wa, ) and means COM
mittee it was decided by vote Of to 5
to report the Porto Rico bill as it passed
the senate, without amendment, and to
move concurrence in the senate
amendments. This means the accept.

ing that the bill would be taken up at
once and and a strong intimation was
given that the plan contemplated was
to allow each side two hours.

Bare Feet Wholly Uaharmed by White.
Hot Stones.

Hot Stones.
Andrew Lang, who has written ex-
tensively on myths. rituals and strange
human practices, has recently made a
collection of stories that remind one
of the experiences of Shadrach, Mes
bach and Abednego. In India, Japan
and number of the South Sea islands
a custom still survives which is known
as the fire walk" Sometimes it is
prefaced with incantations, and it IS
usually followed by feast. The relig-
ious part of the ceremony is conducted
by priests. The origin of the custom,
both in respect to time and place, is
apparently unknown but 1t is possible
that the rite has now lost some of it's
carrier significance and detail. The es-
sential feature of the performance, at
least from the point of view of the
uninitiated. is walking barefoot over
bed of stones that have been rem
dered red or white hot by fire. The
stones are laid at the bottom of an
excavation like that prepared in New
England for Rhode Island clambake.
Logs are cut into suitable lengths ami
piled over the rocky foundation, and
these are then ignited. From four
or five hours to a day are consumed
in this part of the preparation, which
has been preceded, of course, by the
work of digging the pit or oven and
arranging its rocky foundation. The
embers having been hastily raked of, g.,
and red hot or white hot surface hav-
ing been exposed, several men de-
scend into the oven and walk more
or less leisurely across the stones. In
most cases they suffer no apparent
harm. An Englishman who tried the
experiment himself, and was accom-
panied in his undertaking by three of
his fellow-countrymen, furnishes Mr.
Lang with short account. He is Col.
Gudgeon. British resident on one of
the Society islands, Raiatea. The
glowing stones on this occasion afford
ed path twelve feet long. The act
of walking over them presided the
ceremony of cooking the ii plant, and
was first performed by priest and his
attendant They went down into the
oven, bearing branches of the ii tree.
On leaving the pit the priest offered
bifurcated branch to Colonel Gudgeon,
saying. Il hand my power over to
you" The attendant did the same to
one of the other whites. The remain
ing two Englishmen held no ii
branches, but merely walked behind
Col. Gudgeon. Three of them escaped
without harm, The fourth, who, by
the way. looked backward after start
ing, was somewhat burned
