Washington, Sept. 5.-Minister Con
ger has been heard from again, his last
advice being dated at PeiSin, August
80. Preceding dispatches have occu-
pied a week in their transmission
from PelSin, according to the estimate
Of the state department, so that Mr.
Conger's message marks distinct
betterment of the means of commun-
ication. Besides it includes the date
of dispatch, something the depart
ment has been trying to have done
for many weeks. The supposition is
that this particular message came
down from Pellin to Tien Tsin by
courier, and was put on the wires at
that poisf or at Talu. The state de-
partment decided to make no state
ment as 10 the contents of the mes
sage, beyond the simple one that Mr..
Conger's Communication did not mark
any material change in the situation
in Pekin
1t appears that whatever responses
are to be made by the powers to the
proposition to eyacuate Pekin are ex-
pected to be directed to the govern
ment of Russia and not to our state
department. The Russian government
undoubtedly will in turn notify the
United States government as well as
all the other governments concerned
as to the nature of the responses. 1t
is stated that up to the present less
than a majority Of the powers in
terested IN the Chinese question have
responded to the Russian proposal SO
far as our government is advised, and
oul oi11esais, here agree with the gem
eral tenor Of the European dispatches
in the eonclusios that final action on
the part Of an she powers may not be
had for several days at least.

eAnaslian Otter Ce.sst, and Slides Down
 i3iA ,'uzf for Fun
 It seems strange to think that any full grown, four-foot2d animal should indulge in play ike child, and yet this is Whas the otter does. His amusement is tebagganing. and his playground is slope, covered with ice pr SHOW. that goes down grade into q pool of water. No little boy, with a aeW= sled. ever enjoyed a coast down an ice e-bound hill more than this beau- tifuI creature from the frozen ssh. The otter is quite large, sometimes weighing as much as 9 pounds. He resembles the seal and the mink, be- ing, however. of heavier build, and IS both supple and strong. Living for the most part in water, de preys on fish, which his swimming and diving ability enables him to catch easily. Ihe entrance to his hano, Eh'eh is 2 5uTfoT tn tho banl, Of stream, is Snder the water. In the early spring when the ice begins to tbaw, these animals start on their travels from one stream to another, sometimes spend ing months on the journey If they happen to see an inviting hill by tha Eaysfde they immediately stop their pilgrimage and prepare for some sport. One of the number leaves the water and slowly climbs the slope, making smooth hollow in the ice with his wet body When the slide Is pre- pared. he lies fat on his belly, thrusts his nose forward, and turning his fore paws under his soft sides, goes sail. ing swiftly down. His speed steadily increases until he reaches the water. Silently he parts the surface and is lost from sight for a few seconds; then his head appears above the surface and you can hear him give a call which sounds like a whistle, This is a sig nal. The next otter assumes the posi- ton and shoots down to the bottom to join his companion, who has mean while crawled out on the ice Then another whistle and the next in or6ez slides and plunges, and the perform ance is kept up until each one has seY4ral trips to lis credit.-Exehang

FINE COFFEE CROP.
Peculiar Way in Which the Natives
 Prepare the Bean.

Coffee is exported from Puerto Rico in larger quantities than is any other native product. and while but little of it finds it's way into the American mar ket under the brand Puerto Rican," an immense quantity, according to Gen. Roy Stone, is sold here as genuine Mocha and Java. The average Puerto Rican countryman, even though his children have neither shoes for their feet. nor clothing for their backs, owns his private coffee patel. from which by occasional pickings, he secures enough of the little round berries to keep the family supplied. The exporting, how eyer. is done by large growers-men uho have plantations which cover hun dreds of acres. mostly upon the well drained mountain sides. The plants, CT trees as they are sometimes caHt ed, are grown at Intervals of from six to eight feet, and after reaching a night of about five feet are trimmed off that DO strength may be wasted in surplus foliage. The flowers, which are pure white in color have rich fra granee. Each berry contains two seeds, or beans. and as these are gathered before fully ripened. they are dried ip the sun. It is a common sight to sec coffee drying on bprlaps, or mats, iD the city streets. The average Puerto Rican has little or no use for a coffee mill. He bakes his coffee until it is black, and then grinds it to powder in 9 huge mortar When ready for use 1t closely resembles =gHnpowder, thf beverage made from it looking very much like ink. Some of the natives since the close of the Spanish regime, 3ave learned to prepare a cup of coffee on the American plan, but these belong to Q very small minority of the popula- tion.-Leslie's Weekly.
