in for a few moments to hear what
the committee on street railways was
doing. The members of the committee
are nearly all city men and the mat
tiers that come before it are often of a
complicated and important nature.
The room where the committee met
yesterday was the one that has its
walls and ceilings frescoed in old goli
and the atmosphere when the electric
lights are burning and a good railroad
lawyer is discussing franchises and the
floating of bonds, is decidedly roseate
or golden, and tends to turn ones
mind to Wall or State street, rather
than to the quiet corners of the world,
says the Lowell Citizen. Before this
committee came a party of the Oldest
residents of n of the Oldest towns of
the state, to ask that the location of a
new electric road be changed so that
it would not run through the main
street of the village. A venerable man,
who vas nearly the image of the poet
William Cullen Bryant, appeared in
behalf of the petition and explained it
to the absorbed and unmoved mem
bers of the committee. Then he called
upon a man hardly less venerable thar
himself, a little man, who grasped
the ends of the table, and began an
address in the measured style of fifty

Alcohol One of the Causes of Tuber-
culosis.
DR.. Thiron of the Faculty of Medi-
cine in Paris has presented a very in
teresting paper on this subject to the
recent congress against alcohol. The
following are some of the facts dis
cussed at some length: The fact that
alcohol predisposes to the c%ontagion of
tuberculosis has not been contested by
any one. 1t has been pretended that
rum, brandy, wine and beer are useful
in the amelioration and cure of dis
ease of the chest and tuberculosis. He
considers that nearly all these cases
simply add alcoholism to an already
possessed disease, and thereby hastens
a fatal termination. DR.. Legendre says
alcohol very often causes phthisis by
weakening the lungs. Every year we
see some patients who at first enter the
hospital for alcoholism, who return
some months later affected with phthi-
sis. In 1897 DR.. Destree, professor of
the Faculty of Medicine Of Brussels, by
experiments conducted with great ex-
actitude, has commended against the
claimed salutary influence of alcohol
upon muscular work, and has fully
demonstrated it's uselessness, and its
harmfulness to the organism.

CHINESE
Talent for Insccuiacy That Amounts to
Positive Genius.

The Chinese rejoice in a wonderful
talent for i~naccuracy in every detail,
says Leslie's Weekly. For instance, a
pound or a pint varies as it suits the
merchants fancy. In some parts you
get half or a quarter as much as you
do in others for the same price and
measure. Then again, their way of
calculating distance does not at all
tally with Euclid. For instance. you
are told from A to B is four miles.
but from B to A is eight miles. If you
ask how this is possible you are told
it depends from which end you start;
if you start from A it is down hill, so
much easier to walk; whereas, start
ing from B, you have to walk up hill,
which is much more exerting and ia
tiguing-in fact, 1t Is the same as
walking a longer distance on even
ground. This form of argument always
amused me nearly as much as the way
the Chinese have Of counting a per-
sons age by tens. my mother" they
will tell you 'is thirty" (or forty).
When she leaves thirty she is getting
near forty. Should we all like to be
told that. l wonder?

SENATOR TELLER'S VIEW.
IN Interview He Declares the Situa-
ZION In China Demands the Immediate
Assembling Of Congress.

Denver, Col, Aug. Gin an inter-
view published here yesterday United
States Senator Henry NJ. Teller eX-
pressed the belief that 1.-The situation
in China demands the immediate as
sembling of congress- 1.-THE presi-
dent" Senator Teller added, sis not
justified in going further than to
protect our official representatives in
that country. When that is done our
army must be withdrawn, unless con-
gress shall order otherwise. The
president cannot declare war, that
can only be done by an act of con-
gress and the president cannot legally
carry ON war in China without such
declaration" Regarding the Philip
pines the senator said: "The war
will cease in these islands when we
satisfy the people there that we in
tend to concede them self-govern-
ment. They are anxious for an OPP
portunity to prove their fitness to
maintain a government of their own,
and no one who is familiar with their
character and requirements can doubt
their capacity in that respect. I have
urged ever since the war began that
we take steps to convince the Fill
pinos that we are not going to deny
them participation in their govern
ment"

Africa is approaching an eud. Hunter
has reported that he will have fully
1000 prisoners among the hills south
of Bethlehem and that Olivier alone
has succeeded in breaking away to-
ward Harrismith with 1000 men. The
Free State forces now consist of two
columns of LOCO men each under De
Wet and Olivier, several hundred miles
part and developed with the British
troops and when these surrender the
Transvaal Beers will not have any
justification for holding out, especially
when the campaign has become one
of intolerable suffering on both sides.
The Beers are fighting in rags and
barefoot, and are suffering from
hunger, cold and every conceivable pri-
Walton. The British are also badly
clothed and fed, owing to the wretch.

Manila, Aug. 6.-There has been an
| Increase of insurgent activity during
the last three weeks, especially in the
