BAD FOR SHIPS
Marine Hospital Rules
Add Thirty Days.
When Quarantine is Raised by Board,
United States Officials Gem
mence Separate Period.

II the Board of Health decides tia
thirty days is a safe period OF time il
which to raise the. quarantine of tn
port Of Honolulu. that is. thirty day
after the last case of plague was off
cially reported by the Board, the ship
ping interests will then have to fac
the iron-clad regulations imposed b!
the United States Marine Hospita
Service.
In a circular issued by Surgeon-Gen
eral Wyman to the surgeons of the ser
vice, entitled. Quarantine Regulation
Tor domestic ports to prevent the intro
ductlOn or plague from santos, Brazi
and OpOrto, Portugal" DR.. Carmichael
points out the significant fact that Ho.
nolulu is also included in the restric-
tons OF the circular which read as fol-
lows:
In view of the officially reported
prevalence of plague ia Santos, Bra
I'll, and OpOrto, Portugal, and the local
conditions at these ports. The following
regulations relating to vessels arriving
theT efrom at ports of the United states,
are hereby promulgated. This circular
will remain in force until thirty days
after the official announcement of the
cessation of plague in said cities. The
regulations for domestic ports regard
ing prague and promulgated by depart
ment circular of January is, 1897, are
embodied herein in full Attention is
called TO the fact that AL vessels from
Santos and Oporto are TO be subjected
to these requirements"
Regarding vessels leaving Honolulu
for the Coast after the first thirty days
is completed since a reported case of
plague, DR.. Carmichael said: ITO il
lustrate the important features Of this
circular, We Will suppose that in thirty
days from this date the Hawaiian
Board of Health declares the Quaran-
tine raised and the port of Honolulu
free from Infection. For thirty days
after that l will be compelled to issue
tie same class Of bills of health TO YES
sells going to the United States that
have issued from my office since De-
cember 18th last. In short, ii means
sixty days before my instructions will
allow me to declare the port of Ho-
nolulu a clean one.
"On the other hand, should the Board
Of Health declare that fifteen days is a
safe period of time in which to raise
the quarantine since the last reported
plague case, the thirty days 1 will have
to tack or will make the total number
Of days only forty-five. OF course it is
for the port officials at the other end
70 say what shall be done when the yes
sci arrives there. They can quaran-
Inc the vessel or not as they choose"
This seems like jumping from the
trying pan into the fire, but the prob
abilities are that the quarantine off,
,ers in San Francisco, Seattle. or in
act. any coast city would not deem
L absolutely necessary to hold yes
iels in quarantine after such a long
period of cleanliness at this port is
proclaimed.

ginning of the plague epidemic. In re-

IN THE TSUNG YAMEN
From Henry Norman's "The Peoples

From Henry Norman's "The Peoples and Politics of the Far East.''
 The buildings of the Tsung-li-Yamen are not of very imposing character, but they are superior to most Chinese public build ings in this respect, they are in good re- pair. They consist of an external hall and a series of reception rooms, leading finally to small and trim Chinese garden. What they lack in appearance, however, is more than made up by the magnifcence of the moral sentiments placarded upon them. The room in which I was received and which serves, I was informed, as a recep- tion room for the foreign powers, was comparatively small one, containing a round table with polished top, and num- Der of heavy black Chinese chairs. On one side of it were hung three scrolls contain ing each a number of Chinese ideographs The first of these reads: "When the tea is half (made) the fragrance arises" This do not profess to interpret. Perhaps it is intended as an encouragement to persevere in the tortuous and interminaI paths of Chinese diplomacy.
 The second declares, ITO study is indeed excellent" The third, occurring where if
 
 light. The most treacherous, untrust- worthy and interruptions set of diplomats of modern times, of which the united minis ters of foreign countries accredited to China have solemnIy declared that no faith can be placed upon their assurances, meet their European colleagues beneath an in- scHption which reads: gro do good is the highest pleasure" In the large reception room is the inscriptions: May heaven and earth enjoy great peace," while the inscrip- ton over the principal doorway is formed or the characters, Chung wal ti fu'-liter- any, center, outside, peace, happiness"- China being the center and the rest of the world the outside. The inscription thus means: May China and foreign countries alike enjoy peace and happiness" an ad- mirable sentiment, one which the Tsung-li- Yamen has consistently done its best to falsify.

The visitinq Editors.

 the people in this valley are glad of the presence here of such honored and repre- sentative visitors from the various towns
 that adorn and make greater our great

 Birmingham owes much to these news paper workers; Alabama owes vastly more. There is not one amongst them who has ty than any other citizen has accomplish
 ed not one who has not done more for the public good more for charity, more for ed- | ucation, more for good fellowship, more
 for comradeship, more in the noble cause | of independence!
 | There is not one amongst them who has | ever received in measurable value reputa- ble return for his unfailing labor and un-
 faltering faith in the cause of the common
 good. There is not one who does not merit
 immeasurably more than he has ever re- ceived for his efforts in the material and
 moral upbuilding of his community. There
 is not one who has not given ten dollars
 in advertising charity to every dollar given l by men abler than he to give; not one who l has not given double value for every cent

1Ef ONLY DaILY NEWSPAPER Ia ALABAMA
First Census Bulletin.

The first of long series of census bulle- tins has been given to the public. It covers the District of Columbia, which is the city of Washington. That city has now popu- lation of PTS, 71S, as against 2s0,392 in 1890. The growth of nearly 30 per cent. in ten years represents in fact the growth of the country, for Washington has no commerce nor manufacture. It Is capital simply-an aggregation of officials and clerks, and of their satellites. Such a purely official and political collection exists nowhere else in the world on such a scale.
 It is stated that two three bulletins a week will be issued hereafter, and much interest win be taken in the relative rank of cities of the class that Washington holds a place in These cities in 1890 were in or- der New Orleans, Pittsburg, Washington, Newark, Detroit and Milwaukee. Milwau- kee is overshadowed by Chicago, even more than Washington is by Baltimore, and 1t may be that suburban Newark will top the lot. Detroit's growth has not been rapid Either Pittsburg or Newark will stand at the head of this lot of cities, thus again showing that factories are the best basis of urban growth.

Germany and Russia in Chine.

Not a German soldier was hurt .at Tien heavy responsibility. Its aggressions in China, following the aggressions of the Russians, led directly to the present out break in that land against foreigners. There can be no doubt as to this-if Russia and Germany had kept out of China the war would not have occurred. Land greed on their part brought it on.
 And when the allies go to fight a way to Pekin they find themselves opposed at every step by Chinese soldiers armed with Mausers made in Germany" and we'll sup piled with Krupp artillery It is well known that the Chinese regulars were drilled by German officers, and there have been inti- nations that some of these officers are still within Chinese lines.
 The entire attitude of Germany to date does not call for the savage onslaught of the German Emperor against China He deliberately provoked and promoted the Boxer movement, by his violent aggress- ions; and if, as is reported, he is leagued with Russia in Chinese programme, the beginning of trouble in that distant land is at hand. Instead of the world eagued against China, it may in the end be the best part of the world against the Russian-Ger- man combine. There are endless compli- cations and difficulties in the Chinese prob- lem.

at war in our history. and this country is a war-making country.
 If affairs are permitted to go on as they are going our part of the Chinese war will be weak and inefficient. We will not only show to the world that the Philippines are a source of weakness to us; but that in Presidential campaign we play politics in- stead of attending to the work that con- fronts us. A weak, vacillating President, surrounded by political agents of trusts, is, however, the chief source of weakness in a crisis that brings forward the Yellow Terror armed with Mausers.

BIG WAGER

NeW orleans Special
 The first big political bet of the campaign to be made in the South was recorded in the St. Charles Hotel today at odds of over to l when the Hon. Archibald S. Henning, a Republican politician of San Francisco, bet the Hon. Joseph Green, a New York corporation lawyer and Tam many man, $1O,000 to $45OO that Mckinley would be the next President. Henry s. Sprague, a broker and capitalist of St. Paul, Minn., is the stakeholder. Five hun dred dollars on a side was put up, the bal ance being covered with bankable paper This is the first campaign wager in Lous- jana. The news of the big offerings went crashing through the city like an electric shock. The meeting of the men in the city was by the merest chance. Judge Hennine of San Francisco is on his way to the Paris Exposition. MT. Sprague is interested in the Rockefeller copper holdings around Duluth, and the Lake Superior region Three years ago he engineered a mining scheme in the State of Sierra Majada Mexico, for New York capitalists MT Green is the legal adviser They have had trouble over taxes, and are en route to Mexico to adjust matters. The three men met at the St. Charles Hotel and the bet followed.
 The Tammany man says New York will go for Bryan. MT. Sprague says Minnesota will go to the Bryan ranks, and after the bet between Henning and Green he offered $20O to $500 that Bryan would win, but the Californian said he had enough.

GUARDING HUGE LUMP OF GOLD

N. Y. Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch
 A special armed messenger is ceaseless- ly watching a lump of gold worth s1s5. .O0O that is on it's way to New York from the Klondike. This messenger has never taken his eyes off the gold for moment since it was placed in his charge in Toron- to. The treasure weighs 1887 ounces and and represents sixty days clearance at the Caribou hydraulic mine at Quenell Forks, British Columbia. It is consigned to the agent in this city of the Bank of Montreal, who will send it direct to the assay office. It is the largest single lump of gold ever sent to this city

GYPSYING

Clinton Scollard in the New England Maga. zine.
 I have cut off the gyves that make
 Of every man snug Customs slave; The sky, the wood, the upland brake,
 Are all the company crave; Or haply one who holds with me
 That man should not be fashion-bound Who loves to rove Gods forest free,
 And breathe the sweetness of the ground Unfettered comrades, we shall find
 Our own where hillside rillets run, The brothers of the minstrel wind, The children of the vital sun. Our yearned for goal will be revealed
 Somewhere in blue, thrush-haunted air; And there our spirits will be healed
 Of the attrition wrought by care. From narrowing rumors of red strife,
 From vautings and all vexing din, From the contentious swirl of life,
 A dreamful respite we shall win. And when from gypsy wayfarings,
 We breast again the human flow, The solace of sweet wilding things
 Will cling about us as we go.

Fighting Under Disadvantages.

All are agreeded that the foul murder of Minister Conger and of hundreds of other Americans must be avenged. The man or men who directed that piece of savagery must be caught and hung, and reparation of the amplest sort must be demanded. Up- on this point the country is agreed. It is also plain that the Chinese government, either on account of collision or inherent weakness, must be assailed and the civil lized world is preparing to strike hard and efficient blows. This country should do it's part; it should act vigorously, speedily and efficiently. Sending troops from Cuba or the mainland is folly when we have at hand an army 60,O00 strong. The Philip pines instead of being a help are a hin- drance. as affairs are managed at present.
 The truth is the management of the China problem calls for the assembling of Congress. If the battle with Chinese regu- lars at Tien Tsin was not war, then the world does not know what war is. The administration is juggling with the word. Congress should be convened in order that the war may have constitutional warrant, and that due preparations against it may be made. Instead of confronting the situa- ton in a lawful and efficient manner, the administration Is playing politics. It is afraid Congress may do something to mar its campaign. It is, in other words, con- ducting primarily campaign for re-elec- tion instead of a campaign against the Boxers and the Chinese government. To pretend that we are not at war with China
 -unconstitutionally at war-is but hypoc- risy and demagogism We were never more

Florida Capital.

The state of Florida Is intensely agi- tated over the question of removing the capital from Tallahassee. St. Augustine and Jacksonville both want it. and each has an organization that sits every day to concoct measures to secure the prize. Large subscriptions are to be raised in both towns to induce removal St. Augus- tine wants it because it is a winter capital anyway, and Jacksonville wants it because it is the business center of the state Even Ocala and Gainesville are bidding for it.
 But Tallahassee will not give it up with is to have more railroads and it will pull every known string and appeal to every interest within reach to retain the capital. The contest is one of the liveliest that ever occurred over similar question-much livelier than the contest that transferred the capital of Georgia from MilIedgeville to Atlanta, for that was done in recon struction times, although it was confirmed wheels in early days but it has been To- cated so long in Montgomery that the mem- ory of man runneth not to the contrary.
 If the capital of Florida is removed to Jacksonville, which is a probable event, then West Florida should ask as a condi- tion permission to join Alabama. Alabama is willing, and West Florida would be a gainer in many important respects. Pen sacola should be more than willing; in fact, it should head the movement, for it's trade and exports almost wholly cc.4e from or through Alabama.
 A recent correspondent of the Jackson vile Times-Union estimates the results of the election to be held November in this way: Jacksonville, Il, 100 votes; if St. Au- gustine and Gainesville withdraw, its vote will go up to 15,950 Tallahassee will poll 1115O votes. St. Augustine's vote is put at 315O Gainesville will get 1850 votes. Ocala is good for Il, 1S0 votes and if Gainesville withdraws from the race its vote will be 145S0 The chances are that St. Augustine and Gainesville will draw out, leaving Ocala Tallahassee and Jacksonville in the race. The last named has rather the best chance.

THE EMPRESS DOwAGER or CHIN.

THE EMPRESS DOWAGER OF CHINA From the London Chronicle.
 Isi 1si is the Catherine de Medici of Chi na, steeped as deeply in secret murder as ever was that vicious Italian royal person. age. For her shocking crimes alone she merits deposition and incarceration for the rest of her life. She should be deport ed to Penang or to Borneo. The instant Pekin is captured her person should be seized, unless she takes refuge, as it has long been hinted she intended to do when the final catastrophe came, under Russian protection. The corrupt and cruel palace clique should be deported with her. Tsi Hsf betrayed her country in the Japanese war. Enormous sums of money intended for armament for the navy and army were diverted by her and squandered on her own pleasures. When Ii Hung Chang received the lions share of the enormous sum. said to amount to nearly s2O, 900 OOO, needed quite as much as her troops and ships to secure the success of her plans, Tsi Hsi received enormous sums in presents from Li Hung Chang. She is not an imperial wid- ow; she has no ring to hold the reins of power Foreigners will not be safe in China as long she is at large. It is the duty of the British government, whose subjects have not been once nor twice, but thrice now murdered by her tools, to de- clare that she shall be removed to safe place where she can do no more harm Her record of crime and dangerous mis- chief has exceeded the limits of the pa tience of powers of civilization! Let her follow King Bomba, the Mahdi and the late tyrant of Abysssinia into oblivion.

 "Why-er-no; not exactly" answered his father
 Did you know as much as do when you were my age?'

 Are you even at this late day able to extract the cube root of a number vfthous referring to a textbook"
 'No, no. I don't believe I can"
 That's all said the very bright boy. as he turned to his books. Then he .heaved a sigh, and with a look of deepest reproach exclaimed: Parents often turn out to be a terrible disappointment to their children nowadays"

NO CHINESE PROTECTORATE
From the Philadelphia Times.

T TUIH lIIV T HIIdutIUHld I1meS.
 The Monroe Doctrine goes to pieces if we undertake to stretch it over China.
 It is by no means clear that the inter- ests of mankind require the preservation of this Chinese entity. It is quite clear that it is not the duty of the United States to preserve it. and not within the powers of the President and his cabinet. Diplomatic representations, whether judicious or in- judicious, are within their province. To back these representations by an army re- quires the authorization of Congress, if Congress could be so foolish as to under take the protection of China against the world.

ROBERTS WANTED TO GO TO CHINA

From London Letter.
 Lord Roberts declnation to allow troops to be withdrawn from South Africa for service in China is said to have come about this way: The Secretary of State for War, Lord Lansdowne, cabled Lord Roberts ask ing if he could spare division and Roberts replied, "Yes." Lord Lansdowne then se- .lected a number of favorite officers, who have been cooling their heels in the draw ing rooms at home, for billets with the force. In the meantime Roberts cables sug gesting that several of his tried command CTS should accompany the division he was preparing, adding that if any army corps was needed he would like to go himself. These recommendations put Lord Lans- downe in an awkward fix. Before he an- swered Lord Roberts suggestions the lat ter heard from private sources that none of his seasoned lieutenants were to go, but that "warriors who had fattened on the f1esh-pots of the city, were coming out to take all commands in the expedition, whereupon the little man promptly wired London that it was impossible to send any troops at all out of South Africa, his pre- vious offer being based on imperfect infor- nation, whereupon Roberts army rejoiced and the War Office was reluctantly obliged to abandon a scheme whereby it was hoped to mollify many distinguished peace sold iers and their relations. There is no defi- mite confirmation of this, but it is told with considerable circumstantiality.

REFLECTIONs OF A BACHELoR
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press. --
 Ideals don't seem able to survive ex- perience any better than beauty does age.
 When persons are supposed to have a broken heart it only means they have rec ognized one or two plain truths of life.
 You can never make a woman see that it is worse to be more reckless and have few people know about it than to be less reckless and have more people know about it.
 When woman is doing something she ought not to do and you want her to be more careful. and she says she will, she means she will be more careful not to get caught.
 If a woman at 20 knew what she was going to be at 45 there would be mighty little folly in the world; and if a woman at 45 knew what she was like at 20 she would be content to be anything but a fool
