The Bright Side of Humanity" a
new book by DR.. Edward Leigh Pell, is
said 10 be the first serious attempt that
has ever been made to present the
characteristic noble traits of ali races.
In the preparation Of his book DIR. Pell
examined n thousand works Of travel
and although all OF them set forth
with considerable detail the vices and
d~isagreeable traits Of the people which
they profess to describe. only two hun
dred dwelt at any length on their VIZ
tues. To supply the compensatory
high lights in these dark pictures was
a happy thought and must have been a
pleasant task.

Yet the senator displayed yesterday
evidence of tenacious vigor. His APP

He was BILE to move and even to sit
up in bed without assistance. When
rational from time to time he assured
his wife that If he recovered he would
owe it chiefly to her unwavering
cheerfulness and encouragement. And
he added. simply:

Washington, Nov. 25.-Realizing the
critical condition of the negotiations
at Pekin, the United States govern
ment has appealed directly to the
powers to make arrangements which
will prevent further trouble In Crina.
The government is satisfied that un-
less the rowers modify the conditions
which the ministers at Pekin are APP
parently anxious to impose, the nego-
tiations will come to nothing and there
will be grave danger Of a renewal OF
hostilities involving the whole OF
China and threatening the peace OF
the world. The details Of the appeal
have not been disclosed, but they are
understood to be Of such a character
that the powers will be obliged to
make known
without Qualification
their intentions as to China's future.
1t is believed here that In this action
the government will have the hearty
support of Russia and France. and
perhaps Japan. Some responses are
already at hand. and 1t is stated that
generally cur advances have beef well
received. and the state department X
presses satisfaction with the progress
80 far achieved. Details of the radical
action Of the government cannot be
obtained. but enough is known to jus
tify the assertion hat the United
States has asked the powers to put
aside their individual desires and IN
deavor to make an agreement to serve
rs a basis for direct negotiation with
the Chinese government which will be
for the
Good OF All Concerned.
The government was reluctantly forced
to take this step. The president and
his advisers felt, however. thai the
foreign representatives at Pekin have
succeeded after many weeks of con-
ference in putting the difficulties be-
tween China and the powers in an
even mere hopeless tangle than before.
To bring order out of this condition OF
diplomatic chaos is the earnest desire
Of the government. Whether any
good results come the government has
10 mean of knowing, but 1t feels that
it's duty to itself and Its regard for
the peace of the world justified 1t in
abandoning the hope or bringing about
a settlement through. the ministers at
Pekin and trusting to the sense OF
Justice among h European nations
and Japan to remove the menace to
their W welfare now confronting
them.

In some grottoes in Algeria French
explorers have recently discovered

from that Of today. Among the ami

the German government with leaving
Its subjects unprotected In the Trans

expelled from South Africa and those
who had been treated with unneces-
sary severity, the foreign minister
stated lat England had promised to
make compensation and that negotia-

had been forwarded to the German
government from South Africa, he de-
clared. were manifestly untenable.
