4 RUSSIAN ULTIMATUM.
ALLEGED TERMS SUBMITTED
TO Ii HUNG CHANG.
THE WARY OLD vICEROY DECLARES
THEM WITH ONE EXCEPTION.
UNACCEPTABLE

Great Britain's reply to the Russian
oroposal for the evacuation OF Peking
was sent two days ago, The British
Government declines 10 withdraw from
Pehng prior 10 receiving satisfactory
guarantees from the Chinese Govern

Prince Ching SAYS that while he has
power 10 enter upon peace negotiations
he cannot act without the cooperation Of
Il Hung Chang, 10 whom a request has
been sent 70 come 10 Picking.
Lord Salisbury's return TO England IS
awaited as the signal for a revival Of di-
nlomacv and for the dissolution Of ParTa-
nent-
No orders have been sent for the with
irawa' Of The United States forces from
Pek;ng. though q message from Earl Ii
gave assurances OF his power 10 protect
foreigne-s IN Chinese territory.
New-York tribune., 1900-09-14

the attitude Of the Powers II is deducsd there
1ron' perhaps because the British wish is father
TO the thought. that the Car will agree TO
a44o" MS troops to remain at the Chinese cap
ltaI until he sees the results Of the present ne
EQUATIONS looking to the establishment of
basis upon which peace settlements can be dis
cussed. and which are said to contain the sug-
gestion OF a compromise calculated to maintain
the unity Of the Powers. while satisfying both
the advocates and opponents OF the withdrawal
OF the troops from Peking. According to the
suggested compromise arrangement II is pro-
posed that the strength Of the garrison Of
Peking, which is to be international is made
dependent on the progress and character Of the
negotiations with China.
In regard to the conditions which ss Prince
Ching has informed Ii Hung Chang, a certain
Power has proposed-irst the naturalization OF
Iien-Tsin; second. the creation Of Heh-Lang-
hiang as z buffer State third that the Powers
shall place international garrisons at the treaty
ports, fourth. the execution OF the Boxer chiefs

II tthe president Of the Board OF VAR.
The dispatch reiteraJes the assertion that
there is strenuous opposition in all the foreign
colonies 10 the acceptance Of Yung Lu es q peace
negOtiatOr.
The reports Of the Chinese raids on the Ton
Cuin and Corean borders are regarded sug-
gestIve, and as preparing Europe and the United
states for French and Japanese operations in
the regions wherein they are respectively in
te7ested. similar TO the operations Of Russia IN

Germany, according to the same authority,

ENGLISH AS SHE IS WRITTEN.

A lamentable unfamiliarity with
English as she is dramatically spoke
on her native heath is responsible for
a bad quarter Of an hour which a Ger
tain young lawyer of this town will
not soon forget. His wife has most
pronouncedly correct tastes In every
thing, including dress. Such of her
gowns as do not come direct from
London are built in New York by the
most correct Of English man milliners.
When she made ready to go to Long
Branch for the summer, the young
wife laid in a supply Of clothes that
should dazzle the natives. Her Eng
lish man milliner was, however, pro-
vokingly slow about delivering things,
and she was forced to set off without
several of her frocks she had intended
taking with her. For the first week af-
ter she went away she wrote to her
devoted husband at home every day.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-09-01

For the second week she wrote every
other day. In the third week four
days passed without a line from her.
On the fifth day telegram was deliv-
cred at the young lawyers Office.
"Wife's body forwarded this morn
ing"
The signature was a scrawl, but the
message was enough to chill the very
marrow Of that young husbands
bones. It had been sent from New
York. He saw, in his minds eye, his
dainty little wife running up to town
for a days shopping. He thought of
the frightful heat. He knew just how
it had all come about, and, with hor-
ror-stricken face, he dashed out into
the street, and fairly ran to the house
of his wife's sister to acquaint her
with the .frightful news. He was past
speech when he reached the house, but
he held out the fatal telegram. The
sister read It.:
"Well," said she, "its time he sent
it. She's been expecting it for six
weeks. It's the one that goes with the
pink chiffon skirt, suppose. Wash

CITY OF BAGAD.
Its Characteristics Still Suggest the Days d
the CaIiphs.

! Its Characteristics Still Suggest the Days d
the Caiphs.
Bagdad is one of the last Of the un-
spoiled great cities Of the East. The
Bazaar of Constantinople has been de-
filed by Western innovations, and Eu-
ropean fashions are stealing into the
shops Of Tabriz. Bagdad is changing,
too, but it's colors and ways are still
rich with suggestions Of the days OF
the caliphs and the luxurious era OF
Islam. The old part Of the custom
house is the palace Of the caliphate,
hoary with the marks Of more than
eight centuries, and mosque and min
aret recall great names Of great days
which will never come again.
In the palace court now are iron from
Birmingham and cotton from Manches-
ter, matches from Sweden and cheaper
and more sulphurous ones from Japan,
chinaware from China and Russia,
spirits and sugar from Marseilles, with
wheat for shipment to London and
wool hides for America. Where the
caliph's favorites once sold Kingdoms,
inspectors now take their petty bribes.
1T is a curious bedlam. Caravans come
in from Persia, Arabia, and Mesopota-
mia. The laden camels, horses and
donkeys surge out east, north, west
and south. A hamal, or porter, push
es by carrying on his back a 35O-pound
bale Of cotton. And the Bagdad ma
tives are distinguished from the rest
by the Bagdad button, a scar about
the size of date, often on the end OF
the nose, always on the face, which
sooner or later comes to disfgure al
most every resident Of Bagdad.
Hebrews, Of whom there are 10000,
one-third of the population of the city;
Armenians, many of whose women
have been married to Europeans;
Arabs from the desert, Turks, soldiers,
and fat civilians, some dark, some
blond as the janizaries, chavadars
with their caravans, Persian traders
of all kinds, pass to and fro under the
covered streets between the bazaar
shops displaying all the produce of the

GOOD SIZED BERR1Es.-On old Car
Isle bridge, in Dublin, there used to oe
a fruit stand kept by Biddy, the apple
woman, who was well-known figure
to all passers-by. She had ready
tongue, and never did a verbal oppo'
nent retire with all the honors.
An American visitor, who had hearo
rumors Of her skill at fence, one day
took up watermelon displayed fol
sale, and said, gravely:
"You grow pretty small apples over
here. In America we have twice this
size"
Bridget looked up, coolly surveyed
the joker from head to heels, and re-
piled, in a tone Of pity:
"Ah, what for should I be Wasting
my breath to talk to wan that taxes
our gooseberries for apples"
