was going on.
Gen. Chaffee, so 1t Is asserted. main
tanned that the Chinese had been ade-
quately punished already and that IL
would be unwise to take the imperial
palace This explains the withdrawal of
the Americans after preaching three
gates. as cabled by the special correspond
ent OF the Associated Press. The Russian
general. however, maintained that his gov
eminent had declared war against China.
and that therefore there was no reason TO
prevent his carrying hostilities into the
sacred precincts.
Judging from various and in many cases
contradictory dispatches that have
reached Europe this morning from Pc
king, the commanders evidently adopted
middle course. for Reuter- telegram
serts that sentrfes were placed to prevent
looting. Hence II is presumed that the
imperial buildings, although captured. will
not be destroyed.
The fires appear to be incendiary and to
be caused by the Chinese themselves
Commanders All In Doubt.
All the dispatches point to the fact that
when the latest message received here left
Picking the commanders were somewhat at
sea regarding their future action, all
awaiting instructions from their govern
ments
The foreign residents appear to have
been sent to Tientsin, although the st.
Petersburg correspondent OF the Daily
Mail says the ministers will not leave
Picking until negotiations for indemnity
are under way.
Neither the commanders nor the diplo-
mats were in communication with the
Chinese government on August II. They
were then searching for Prince Tuan.
Among the puzzling reports as TO the
whereabouts Of the empress dowager Is
one from st. Petersburg that she Is In the
vicinity Of Picking. but surrounded. The
emperor seems to have disappeared COM
pletely.
1t is officially reported that the minister
OF the Netherlands. DR.. f. M. Knoble, was
slightly wounded during the siege.
ST. Petersburg dispatches announce good
progress in the Manchurian campaign.
The town Of Margen was captured August
~. with trifing Russian loss. while the
Chinese suffered severely. leaving ten
guns 100 rifles and a large quantity Of
ammunition In the hands Of the Russians.
The reports OF risngs In Northern Korea
are confirmed 1t Is believed that these
are not due to ill-will toward foreigners,
but to local dissatisfaction. The Korean
government is sending troops to the dis
affected districts.

One Old Horse Guards Another.

Two beautiful chestnut horses, Jack
and Sam, were among my early friends.
They were clean built, high stepping
trotters Of Il speed which might have
distinguished them on the track, but
they led a happier life, being favorite
carriage horses In a region Of beautl-
full country roads or sometimes, under
the saddle, threading lovely forest
paths.
Rarely used in single harness, they
had been as rarely separated, and
when in their old age sam became
blind 1t was touching thing to see
Jacks constant watchfulness over him.
Their pasturage was In fields broken
by rocky lodges and where more than
one steep rnvine suddenly descended
from the smooth sward. Jack never
left his friend. Constantly beside him,
II Sam went too near Il pcrilous edge,

A Son of q Sen Cook.

The Information concerning the cx-
preston "a son of sea cook" says
the Philadelphia Times, has not been
found In any reference dictionary. 1t
comes from prominent citizen, man
Of affairs and n man Of intelligence.
In 1862 he was for period the cam
paign companion of Leonard SWEET,
who at that time was candidate for
congress IN Illinois. Mr.. SWEET was
the bosom friend Of Abraham Lincoln
his alter ego. In 1888 he was the ad-
vocate In Chicago Of the presidential
aspirations OF Walter Q. Gresham.
At the time referred to Mr.. SWEET
had an engagement to address voters
In Fremont and Pekin. In Tazeweu
county, and by the informant referred
to was driven from Fremont to Pekin.
SWEET had few equals as a conversa-
tionalist, and the talk was brisk and
naturally never to be forgotten by the
man who had proffered his services as
a driver.
The latter, speaking Of well known
lawyer of Pekin, remarked, "IIe Is a
son Of n sea cook" Mr.. SWEET turned
abruptly about and said: THAT express
sion Is not correct. You mean the son
Of a sckawk, which Is n pcrversion Of
the Indian name segonk, which means
q skunk and is usually pronounced Sc
hawk Few people ever use the term
correctly or comprehend It's meaning"

Swallowed His Destination.

A Clevelander who made n trip to
Washington says that, much as he was
impressed by the beauty and grandeur
Of the national capital and Its sur
roundngs, the thing he will remem-
ber longest was remark he heard
made by coIOred dcckh on one
Of the handsome boats that take daily
trips up and down the Potomac.
These boats stop at many Of the pic
turesQue little Virginia and Maryland
river towns that dot the banks Of the
historic river and take freight ship
ments to and from Washington. One
Of the things shipped from one of the
down river towns on the boat the
Clevelander rode on was n goat of the
sort that delights the average small
boy. The Clevelander was wandering
about the boat, interested In the diff
ferences between the Potomac river
boat and the Lake Erie craft with
which he was familiar, when he no.
ticed the colored deckhand standing
almost motionless before the goat.
which was tied to one Of the supports
Of the upper deck. He was scratching
his head and apparently very much
puzzled.
whats the matterY the Cleveland
er asked the dcckhand.
"Why," answered the colorcd man,
"de goat done eat up whar he gwine
to-"
The goat had simply chcwed up and
swallowed the tag on which was the
address to which he was being ship

The Head Walters Tips.

One of the most expensive rrstnu-
rants in New York is conducted so far
as it's observing patrons can tell, on
unique system of tips. The head wait
er Of the room devoted to the use OF
the men guests makes it Il point to be-
come acquainted with ti"'m, find out
their names and becomes genial In the
half respectful, half prcsuming way
that so frequently passes for good ma
ture among employees of the kind in
this country. Naturally he receives
liberal fees from his clientele, which Is
made up Of rich men able to pay high
prices for the extra service they re-
ceive.
When there is no financial response
Of this kind to the walters advances,
his cordiallty diminishes. The walters
under him do, with unusual willing
ness, the head walters bidding. They
nre evidently Indifferent as to their
own success in the matter Of fees. 1t
Is only the good will,of the head waiter
that appears to be the goal Of all their
efforts.
Such unselflshness astonishes regular
patrons of the restaurant. and one In
particular undertook to discover the
reason Of this attitude Of the walters
toward their chief. He learned after
awhile that the tips the head waiter
received were large enough to enable
him to give the walters part of his
earnings for attending with particular
care to his patrons, who, as rule, con-
fine their contributions to the head
waiter. The guests who fail to take
advantage Of the head walters over
lures to friendllness are not likely to
fare we'll in that restaurant, where the
walters, certain of fee from the man
over them, are Indifferent to the guests
not included among the list Of his pa
trons,-NeW York Sun.

In interior New York, and people came

was talked up. and he was nominated

Sorrows Of the Millionaire.

Given his million, he gives up his house
and builds himself n small, first class
hotel in some big city, which for the
greater part Of the year rs occupied by
servants. He next erects country
palace Mt LenOx or ut Newport This
he calls a cottage, though 1t usually
looks more like a public library or
hospital or clubhouse.
Then he builds himself camp. with
stained glass windows. In the Adron-
dacks and has to float small railroad
In order to get himself and his wife's
trunks into camp. Shortly after these
follows n bungalow modelled nfter
French chateau, somewhere In the

cross the ocean In ten days and to pro-
duce sensickness II hours sooner than
the regular ocean steamer becomes one
of the necessities Of life.
Result, he never lives anywhere. To
occupy all his residences. camps and
bungalows he has to keep etcrnally on
the move, and when he thinks he needs
q trip to Europe he has his yacht got
ready and sends It over. going himself
