would otherwise have excited.
The officials at present so engrossed with
the existing situation in China that they are
apparently not giving serious consideration TO

problems arise are premature to say the least

ACTION OF CONsULs AT SHANGHAI.
TROOPS WANTED THERE. BUT SHOULD BE
r1 SENT BY SEVERAL POWERS.

Shanghai. Aug. 16.-The consuIs will meet to-
day The landing Of the British troops is not
objected to by the representatives Of other
natiuns,4 hut the latter have declared they will
adopt the same course. To this the British have
objected, and have threatened TO withdraw the
troops which are now ready to land.
The British transports had sailed. but they
were recalled by a torpedo boat destroyer and
have now returned to Woo-sung.
London. Aug. 16.-The situation at Shanghai
absorbs British attention. The Times to-day
in its second edition. publishes a dispatch from
Shanghai dated Wednesday. August Is. which
says:
Admiral Seymour. through the Consul-Gen-
eral, has instructions that the troops which it
was intended 10 land here shall proceed north
This will be done on August Is unless the order
is countermanded in the interval by the For
eign Office The final decision of the latter is
awaited. The principal British banks and ship
ping firms have telegraphed 10 Lord Salisbury
that the Governments decision Ito send the
urging the Government to reconsider the mat
ter. The foreign consuls are equally alive 10
the results OF such action on the Chinese, and
are addressing an identical note to their govern
ments with the object Of inducing the British to
land troops.
France has LOO troops on board the transport
Cochar, which arrived at Hong Kong yesterday
August 49, conveyed by the French cruiser
Friant. These troops, the French Consul at
Shanghai informed the other consuls there
would be landed at Shanghai If the British per
sisted in landing troops at that place
A news agency dispatch from Shanghai dated
Tuesday, August Il, represents the United
States Consul General, John Goodnow, as join
ing with the French and German consuls in op-
posing the British plans.
The British Foreign Office officials decline 10
enter into the reasons for not landing troops at
Shanghai. but the Foreign Office is credited with
being unwilling to persist in any course not an
proved by the other Powers. The Foreign Of
flee is expected to make some explanation later
Berlin, Aug. 16.--A semi-offlcial dispatch from,
Shanghai, dated Wednesday, August 15. saws:
The foreign consuls acting on joint resolu
ton, have sent to their respective governments
the following telegram:
If the Indian troops (British) are Withdrawn
from WoO-Sung it will constitute a menace 70
the safety of Shanghai. These troops ought n
standing. To insure the adequate safety of
Shanghai more troops ought to be landed i'm
mediately."
has not sent copy of the resolution said to have
been agreed upon by the consuls at Shanghai His
reports somewhat analogous. however in ad-
vsing that action should be of international
character. Woo-Sung. referred to in the Berlin
dispatch, is the city of Shanghai and occu-
pies about the same relation to II as Coney Island
does to NewYork City. In connection with the
foreign differences arising at Shanghai. it may be
significant that the cruiser New Orleans sailed yes
terday from Cavte for Woo Sung.

ITO a Rockefeller Gould or Wander
bilt such disinterested use of millions
must seem like insanity. Here is a
man that husbands his fortune with
one hand and lavishes il with the
other, much as Napoleon kept the re
cruiting sergeant busy at one end of

Eng a few thousand men to certain
death at the other. He lives a palmer
life than his associates. He owns no
steam yachts or private cars aud con
sistently declines all titles and peerage
honrs. He shuns society and prefers
knocking about on the veldt in a
Khaki suit to attending a court recep-

A UNIQUE MILLIONAIRE.

earth today there IS probably no other
rich man who would use his private
fortune to build a railroad in savage
country OF iefray the expenses of a
war, not knowing whether, there shall

this unusual srot, in an age when
money is king that commands the ad-
of statesman and mechanic
alike; while capitalists from very
are constrained to give
aid
This explains why, through the
length and breadth of south Africa,
you cannot find man that envies
Rhodes his frotune, since he neither
spends money on himself nor does he
hoard it for posterity. II ! had a son

THINK or THEIR FoRTITUDE.
What Soldiers Of 1898 Had to Endure
for the SAKE of Cues.

In his History of the Dress Of the
Royal Artillery Captain Mcdonald
says: ON the top the hair was cut
close, and the stumps were well rubbed
back, with hard or stick pomatum, a
KIND of grease made up in hard rolls
about an inch in diameter and three or
four inches long, If | recollecl right
run into paper molds, like resin for
the violin. The stumpy hair at first
stubborn, by perseverance and poma-
tum was, after time, quite forced out
of its natural direction and made to
grow backward instead of forward.
The remainder of the hair was gather
ed into a cue behind, which according
to regulation, shouu be ten inches
long and tied close to the head; this
we called rooter, but the handles af-
fected a loose tie and began some in
ches lower down.
Those whose hair was not long
enough had false cues made of stuffed
chamois leather, with brush at the
end, and this had to be spliced onto the
hair For uniformity's sake the gun
ner's, etc, wore false cues of strong
black leather, which they cleaned and
polished like their shoes. AS it was
difficult to tie ones own cue, we used
to assist each other, and it was a sort
of accomplishment, the being able &c
give a good cue. But the visits of two
babbers once a fortnight offered the
best opportunity of getting a capital
cue sometimes, to he sure such a
rooter that it was difficult to shut the
eyes; yet many slept in them for a
whole week, or till the next barbarian
visit. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

GODS KIN.

There is no summit you may not at
tain,
No purpose which you may not yet
achieve,
If you will wait serenely, AMI be-
lieve
Each seeming loss is but a step to'rd
gain.
Between the mountain-tops lie vale
and plain
Let nothing make you question,
doubt or grieve;
Give only good, and good alone re-
ceive;
And as you welcome joy. SO welcome
pain.
That which you most desire awaits
your word;
Throw wide the door and bid it en-
ter in.
Speak, and the strong vibrations shall
be stirred;
Speak and above earths loud, I'M
meaning din
Your silent declarations shall be
heard
All things are possible to Gods own
kin.
