LONDON, Dee. sI.-Foilowing the an-
nouncement from Pekin and other points
in China that Prince Ching and Earl Ii
Hung Chang have accepted uneondition-
ally all the demands of the Powers con-
/. tanned IN the preliminary note. compIi-
Ence with which was to preeede the ac-
tual negotiations for peace, comes the
statement that an armistice has been pro-
claimed
It is presumed that steps will immedi-
ately be taken to bring about confer
ence between the ENJOYS of the Powers
and the Chinese plenipotentiaFies IL COM
pIiance with the request made by the rep
resentatives Of the Emperor.
It is believed that the agreement for
an armistice will at once result in the
cessation Of hostile expeditions IN the
vicinity of Pekin and elsewhere. Num-
bers Of these have been conducted by the
German forces and have given cause for
a great deal of complaint owing to the
alleged high-hanGed manner in which
they were carried on. The Germans are
said to have INDUCED in wholesale
slaughter of Chinese, both the innocent
and the guilty falling IN their path.
Field Marshal Count Won Waldersee has
sent to Berlin the following despatch,
dated at Pekip On Saturday:
'.The Chinese who fed to the south
were pursued by Priests Squadron to
Eokien. whSre they scattered to the
south and southwest. Grueber's col
umn found at Sinanchen large sup
plies of war material, quiek-fring

that the act Of robbing the Chinese OF ali
authority and prosecuting the natives with

and even forcing the peacefully inclined
-CRinanen into opposition
However. il is believed that the agree
ment 10 an armistice VIII result in bring
ing about better feeling. and that use
less military activity will now cease, to
be followed by actual negotiations for ar
ranging the terms of peace between China
and the Powers.

LION IN RAILROAD CAR.

Man may kill man in a railway car riage" In England and on the continent but to be killed by lion in the com partment carriage one must go to Af- Iica.
 The train had come from Mombasa to Kma, in East Africa. Here M. Ryal!. q well known district superintendent of police, was told there was a lion with In 200 yards. and he therefore detached his corridor carriage, walked up the crain to another compartmt mt in which were MT. Huebner, MT. Parent and anothsr man ana suggested a s5arch for the beast.
 The three men joined Ryall, but the hunt was unsuccc ssful. As, however, the station master told them two lions provided about the station every night, Parent, Huebner and RyalI decided to remain on watch in the detached car riage, which was shunted onto a sid i ing.
 About midnight Parent went to sleep on the floor, while Huebner coupled q bed above and Ryall sat on his seat and kept first watch. At 1:30 Parent awoke with q start and found lion treading on him. He saw the beasts forepaws on Ryalrs body and heard Ryall uttlr a cry. He tried to r. ach his gun, but failed, and then he managed to crawl through the window. He ran for the station master and on returning they found Huebner ia the kitchen at the back of the car riage,
 "Ryall! Ryall!" they called, but there was no answer. Then the station mas ter and his men went back with burn ing brands to the carriage.
 They found it drenched with blood, but empty Ryall could not be seen.
 Day dawned, and outside they found more blood and many footmarks, both of a lion and a lions cub.
 Ryall they never found.-Manchester Eng.) Guardian.

THE COMMODORE's CUE.

In the early days of steamboating on the Ohio river they had only stern wheel boats, and old Commodore Me Cullough of Cincinnati conceived a scheme to build and launch a palace side wheeler" which would by grace of her beauty and size run the stern wheelers out of the trade
 He carried his ideas to q successful and beautiful finish. and sent her on her initial trip. and she came hack $500 loser. The natives along the river would not ship on her, nor would they ride on her nor trust their live stock on her. They couldn't see the wheel go round"
 So the Flora. Belle made trip after trip, burning from $500 to $1,000 worth of coal and taking in perhaps $200. The newspapers took it up, and it was street talk about what frost the Flora Belle was. Everybody from banker to bootblack knew the tale. At this time the old National theater on Sycamore street was the benton theater of Gin cinnati, and it's gallant men and lovely women thronged the performances. One night the commodore attended, and as he entered there was a series of nudg- ings and whsperings.
 There's the commodore. There's the owner of the Flora Belle"
 The play was one of those Bertha. the Sewing Machine Girl" dramas. with ''hyperbole" heroine, and there was one scene in which the lover pro posed marriage.
 No said the heroine. "I can never be your wife, Harold. You are wealthy you are a millionaire. while l am only a poor sewing girl. If I marry you all my friends will say it was for your money. and I love you. darling. for yourself. Get rid of your money, my darling, and I will be your wife" And she made her exit in tears.
 The lover walked up and down the stage wrinsing his hands.
 How" he cried. how can l win her? How can l get rid of my money"
 That was the old commodOre's cue. He rose up in the center of the par Quette and shouted:

WHY AMERICANS WIN.

"We scarcely ever patent anything nowadays" said the representative of a big house which makes woodwork ing machinery of all kinds" "A patent is simply a license to litigate. and it generally costs more to prosecute an infItinger than the thing Is worth either in damages or as an example to others. What we really look to for protection is the superior skill and celerity of the American mechanic. As a nation we have made such rapid progress in ma chinery during the last few years that no foreign manufa cturer can possibly keep up with us. That is not brag or buster or spread-eagle hyperbole, but a cold, plain statement of fact. While the English or French or German maker is plodding away on an imitation Of one of our machines the model has become obsolete and we have replaced It with something better. They steal our ideas, all right enough, but they cant steal them fast enough to stay abreast of the procession. I was in Manchester, England, last year, and went, by invitation, through q big manufactory OF agricultural imple- ments In one department l was a lit 
 engaged on ploughs of a well known American pattern. Isn't that the same as So-andSo's plow?" I asked my guide, who was member of the firm. Well, yes, substantially the same. he said, looking little confused, but. you see, there are no English patents, and We haven't any intention of putting it on the American market. Well. I should say not!' I eXclaimed; and you couldn't sell any of them if you did;' that model was discarded months ago and an i'm proved form has altogether taken it's place The case is simply one out of dozens. Another important point is this: Our improved shop tools. our scientific methods of handling material and tha ingenious manner in which we utilize what are called by-products, so as to minimize waste, are enabling us to turn out machinery as cheaply as the foreigner, in spite of the fact that we pay nearly double their wages. From present indications that gratifying state of affairs is likely to continue. and it does away with the bugaboo of foreign cheap labor. which has herr tofore menaced the business. It proves that cheap product doesn'; necessa- rly mean low pay"

A JUSTICE WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Wayne MacVeagh, the well known Philadelphia lawyer and -miniS,or to Italy. has a keen sense of humor.
 Recently he was arguing a tedious, technical case before the supreme court. The affair drifted through long days If uninter, sting details. When it was finally ended MT. MacVeagh and col league, in talking it over. speculated as to whom Chief Justice Fuller would assign to write the opinion in the cas- and the speculations r. suited in q wdg- CT.
 Just then Chief Justice Fuller came down the corridor. MT. MacVeagh call ed him and tOld him of the wager.
 If you will help me out. Mir. Chief Justice, and tell me whether my guess is correct. the affair can be settled right here, for you have the assigning e do and you know whom you will ask to write the decision"
 Whom have you selected in your wager, MT. MacVeagh?" asked Mir. Full Ter, keenly interested.
 Justice Cray" answered MT. Mac Veagh.
 And why did you choose MT. Gray?"
 'B cause I noticed he slept through the entire argument" answered MT. MacVeagh Post.

EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY.

That man who advertised for a req headed office boy the other day reminds me of curious experience" said an old reporter. Years ago, when I was a cub. doing my first assignment on an afternoon daily in a big western city. we had thin, freckled nOsed of flee boy with a. head like q full-blown poppy. He was d silent sort of little chap, but anybody with half an eye could see he was as sharp as a needle, and he was a favorite with the whole staff, from the chief down. One day the city editor sent the star reporter out to a country justice court. nearly ten miles from town, to write up the case of a school commissioner who had been arrested for misappropriAtion of funds, and. as an afterthOught, he told 'Reddy,' the office boy, to meet him there so. if necessary, he could carry in early copy. The star reporter was q great artist, but also q periodical drunkard, and at about 1:30 that ar ternoon the city editor received the cheering news that he was then asleep in a neighbOring bar. At the same time a rumor reached the town that the school commissioners trial had de Veloped a tremendous sensation and that the prisoner had made his escape at the point of a pistol. We went to press at 2:20 sharp. and for the next fifteen minutes We had the widest city editor in seventeen states. He had al ready rushed two men off on h-rseback and was dispatching q third. when in walk d 'Reddy. who had been entirely forgotten in the general excitement. That was good story out at the rube court, and seein' Mir. - didn't come I wrote it up myself. he said. Where is the copy?' yelled the city editor Here said 'Reddy.' and handed over roll of manuscript. l helpel edit it. or rather I helped read l., for it didn't require any editing. It was a beautiful story, clearly and graphically told, with subheads inserted and everything ready for the printer. The city editor was delirous with joy and next day the kid got regular job on the staff.
 And I suppose now he's the manag- ing editor,' said one of the listeners, with q slight sheer.
 No. he isn't" replied the old report CT. This story happens to be true. Reddy didn't fulfill his early premise. He went wrong and Is now serving out term in congress" ."-New Orleans Times Democrat.

One Of these dreadful young Ameri- ing us with militarism HOW'S THIS, and imperialism has
 MIR just returned from the
 BRYAN? Philippines with some
 interesting observations about the scope of the war there. He is Lieutenant Martin F.. Crimmins of the Sixth infantry, and the son of a we'll known democrat who resides in New York. The anti-imperialists de- light in telling us that they believe great numbers of the so-called amigos in the Philippines are only waiting for a chance to rise up against the Ameri- cans. Lieutenant Crimmins brought this report:
 There are a large number of intelli- gent people in the Philippines who are restrained from actively cooperating with the Americans because they fear that If Bryan is elected the government will be turned over to the Tagalogs and other insurgent tribes, with the result that all who have aiGed the Americans in any way will be dealt with harshly. They seem to think that Bryan can give every one liberty as soon as he Is elected. and the intelligent people know what that means in the hands of such tribes as the Tagalogs. As a matter of fact. the tribes now in instruction would rebel against any government no matter how good 1t might be. The in surgent forces are made up largely of robbers and looters.''
 Lieutenant Crimmins added that most of the people in the Philippine islands of any intelligence desire American government, and dread more than anything else the hauling down of the American flag. He shares the belief expressed by General Lawton and many other persons who have been in the islands that encouragement from this country has kept the rebellion alive.

THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH.

An interesting development of affairs in the south is the increased attention given to and the apparent respect for communications sent to the newspapers by negroes. Letters from representa- tive colored men are nowadays ire quently found in journals that at one time would have rejected whatever came from such q source. Here is the Twin City Sentinel. published at Wins tOn-Salem. x. C. The first thing in it's editorial column is the ticket Bryan ana Steyenson,' and right under that is a double leaded editorial concerning q letter printed in the same issue. writ ten by Prof. g. c. Atkins. president of the Slater Industrial academy and state normal school of that city. Prof. Atkins is q colored man and he writes to say that the tone of the state press has been more friendly toward the ne gro since the new disfranch.sing amendment to the constitution was passed, and to urge his people to Stand still and See the salvation of the Lord" He advises against leaving the state and says, Tt is probably unfOr tunate that politics in the past have formed the chief line of cleavage be- tween the races, and in future it seems wise for the negro to think of the indi- Vidual for whom he votes as well as the party" He appeals to them to regard truth, industry a sense of rights, elf respect and a feeling of respons pility as essential to citizenship.-Hart1ord Courant

 A gary calls to mind again SLENDER the extraordinary com THREAD. position of that empire
 and the slender thread that holds all the inharmonious parts together, for II is generally believed that it is only through the affection in which the aged emperor is held by all his people. that the troublous internal affairs of the empire are kept within the safety line. Francis Joseph is not only emperor, counting among his an cestors over a score of German and Roman kaisers. and the reigning rep resentative of the most ancient impe- rial dynasty in Europe but he is nine fold king, as well as duke, prince. count, marquis and seigneur of some thirty minor states incorporated from time to time into the Hapsburg mon archy. Eight distinct languages and forty-two dialects are spoken within the limits of his territory. The inhabi- tants, in their several racial varieties, are at odds with one another on almost every conceivable question of vital hu- man interest, political, religious. eco homie and fiscal. Many times during his reign civil war has been threat ened; by Hungary, by Bohemia, by Bosnia and Herzegovina, and 1t has been the emperor who each time averted It..
