1t is possibly as well to wait a month
or two before expressing regret for the
untoward fate of Kwang su, the unfortu-
nate young Emperor of China, 1t may be
true that he has committed suicide as
reported; but ii win be recalled that sim
liar reports have been sent out from China
on an average of once or twice a month
ever since the Dowager Empress took the
young man in hand for becoming too pro-
gressive. If all OF his suicides were in
good faith, Kwang su must have had
more lives than the proverbial cat. end
another one or two fatal doses of poison
will not make a great deal OF difference
to him.

WOMEN NOT MADE TO work.

Chicago jury has recently, very gall
lantly, reached the conclusion that wo-
man was not made to work; that her
proper sphere in life is that of an orna-
ment, and by inference that il is the place
of the man to work and keep her In
luxury. Since woman was not intended
by nature to labor, the jury held that
she was not amenable to the law against
vagrancy and could not be held under it.
The American Lawyer reports the case.
and remarks that it is unique and inter-
esting
The woman in the cause, it seems, had
been arrested for begging and taken be-
fore a magistrate. Mrs. Kate Rossi, a
lawyer. appeared to defend her. Mrs.
Rossi argued to the magistrate that the
law did not apply to her client. She
failed to convince him. Mrs Rossi then
demanded jury trial. Twelve men were
selected, and to them the woman lawyer
repeated her argument. charging upon
the point that woman was not made to
work and, therefore, could not be a va
grant. History. custom and tradition.
she said, would all support her conten-
ton. All of the best literature-especial-
ly the poetry-tended 10 show that wo-
man was made for a life of ease and lux
ury. Anatomy disclosed that her struc-
ture was not fashioned for the hewing
of wood and drawing of water. Every true
poet had indited apostrophes to Woman,
lovely woman and how could a woman
be lovely if she handled mortar or SHOW
eled coal? There could not be produced
from any authoritative source declared
Mrs. Rossi, one solitary argument going
to show THAI 1t was part of the divine
plan that woman should work to earn her
living. 1t was true, she said, that for
the past 200 years many of them had been
compelled 30 work for food and raiment.
but that was because of the inability Of
the men 90 support them. That proved
nothing beyond mans Shortcomings Ma
ture and common sense. the attorney ar
gued, were above statute law. therefore
her client, being a woman, should not
be held under the law against vagrancy.
1t has been said that anything one can
make a jury believe is law. This wo-
man attorney made the twelve men in
the jury box believe that she was pre-
cisely right in her contention that wo-
man was not made to work, and they
found her client not guilty. The Amer-
can Lawyer, by the way, fails to give
the approximate ages and description
of che personal appearance of the woman
lawyer and her client, and the ages Of
the men in the jury box. Ii may be that
these matters would have gone a long
way toward accounting for the verdict.

LITTLE CHINESE NEWS.
Washington Draws Some Consolation
From Reports.


Washington July .3.-Up to noon today
there had been no change here regarding
the Chinese situation. No orders had gone
out looking to the dispatch of increased
forces and beyond q cablegram from Con-
sui General Goodnow at Sahnghai, recitin9
IN brief the points of the news brought to
Shanghai by the messenger from Sir Rob-
ert Hart and conveyed at>-greater length
In the press dispatches, nothing had been
added to the information already possessed
by the government respecting the situations
In Pekin.
There was disposition to take some
comfort out of the statement that cannon
are not being used against the legations.
This was regarded as indicating. that the
first wild burst of fanatical rage had spent
itself and that now the Boxers were acting
IN more reasonable manner. The date OF
the Pekin dispatch however, June %. eight
days ago, leaves ground for grave appre-
hension as to what has occurred there
since.
1t was accidentally discovered by the
navy department today that Lieutenant
Key. our naval attache at Pekin was safe
outside of the capital and in Toxic, to
which place he is also accredited.

torces We're manifestly insufficient even to
guard the legations and the Europeans in

From the far east there is practically mo-
apnui.ional paai news. Rumors are current in
Farls that the British embassy has re-
ceived notification of the assassination OF
tne FRENCH and British ministers at Pekiny
port.
Shanghai reports that the international
FORCES at Tien Tsin are suffering from a
lack of good drinking water, owing to the
rel Ho river having been choked with the
corpses of Chinese and other victims of the
bombardment.
According to the same dispatch the in-
ternational troops, SO far from being strong
enough to advance towards Pekin. are not
sufnc1ent in numbers to attack the Chineso
still surrounding Tien Tsin and keeping up
a desultory fire on the place. Thousands
OF Chinese are said to be arriving from
Lutai and to be desperately attempting to
re-occupy the bridge leading to Taku.

ARE FIGHTING FOR COMMON CAUSE IN CHINA.

Berlin, July 3.-Addressing the detach-
ment of German marines which sailed
from Wilhelmshaven for China yester-
day, the emperor made a remarkable
speech, during which he notified the
world of Germany's intention to avenge
the murder of Baron Won Ketteler, the
late minister of Germany at Pekin and
the missionaries and to dictate terms to
the Chinese from the palace at Pekin.
According to the Lokale Anzeiger his
majesty spoke as follows: 1.-The German
flag has been insulted and the German
empire treated with contempt. This de-
mands exemplary punishment and ven
geance. Events have moved with fright
run rapidity and have become profoundly
grave and still graver. Since I call you

help OF the marine infantry has now be-

fulfilled with the help of the serried ranks

TowNE MEN CONFIDENT.

The ToWne men are today more conf
dent than ever that they will nominate
their man for vice president. They say
the fight is between Towne and Danforth
of New York, and the question of expe-
diency will now be considered. Dam
forth is the personal and political friend
of David B. Hill. Already the point is
being made that he is Hills candidate
and that he is to be nominated to .oncil-
late Hill for the manner in which his
suggestions We're treated by Mr. Bryan
on his recent visit to Lincoln. This Is a
feature, however, which cuts both ways.
as there is an element among the dele
gates who do not feel like offering any,
thing in the way of olive branches. It
is also known that Hill and his friends
have some hesitancy about pushing Mr..
Danforth for the. nomination because
they have doubts of success if there is
a distinct declaration for Is to l. The
fact that the New Workers seem wiring
to allow the convention to take it's own
course without making any determined
effort to name the candidate has given
the TOwne men great deal of encour-
agement and they are today more ag-
gressiue than ever.

have a thorough understanding and are
IN perfect accord as to their action in the
convention. They will do everything in
their power, 1T is maintained, to advance
the interests of the party and the ticket
nominated by the convention. It is sug-
gested very strongly that neither Mr..
Croker nor Mr.. Hill desires the nomina-
tion of Towne for vice president. While
the New York delegation has not pre-
sented formally any candidate it is
known that 1t favors the nomination of
Elilot Danforth and that Mr.. Croker is
quietly pressing the claims of Judge Au-
gustus Van Wyck. Stranger things have
happened in many convention than the
nomination either Of Danforth or Van
