TIE PEN|N LEGAI|ONERS.
Consul Fowler, at Che Foo, Con.
firms the Chinese Minister'S
Dispatch of Tuesday.
INFORMATION FROM THE SANE SOURCE.
dispatch From Licut.-Col. Coolidge,
of the Ninth Infantry, Giving the
Losses of His Regiment ut Tien
Tsin-Not Quite AS Heavy rs at
First Reported.

Washington, July 1s.-The bouyant
and hopeful feeling of Tuesday as to
the Chinese situation, has been
strengthened by the addition of a CON
f%irrnatory dispatch from Consul Fow-
Ter, at Che Foo, touching the safety OF
the legationers at Pekin on July 9. OF
course, it is understood that MI. Fow-
ler's information came from the same
fountain head as did Minister Wu's of
Tuesday, namely. the famous Yuan
Shih-Kai, the military governor of
Shan Tung province.
Why Credencc is Given.
Because of the very intimate rela-
tons that have existed, up to a very
recent date, between this official and
the imperial our at Pekin, he haN-
ing been commander of the imperial
body guard, there is a disposition here
TO attach more credence to his dis
patches than would be accorded to
t'hoee of other Chinese officials. This
is based on the presumption that he
has no inducement to falsify the facts.
Secretary Hay had a number of diplo-
llldtIt CdllcIS- prominent dulO1p them
being Minister WI. Mr.. Wollant, the
Russian charge and Mr.. Thiebaut, the
French charge.
The >inth's Casualties.
An additional casualty list from
Tien Tsin reduced the number of
casualties among the officers of the
Ninth infantry to the great comfort of
the war department officials.
Consul General Goodnow. at Shang-
hal, has cabled for a warship. His sug-
gestion was merely precautionary, and
after considering it the navy depart
ment has withheld action in view of
the fact that the Castine already is at
that port and foreign ships are on the
way. There vas no cabinet meeting,
as the advices which reached the gov
eminent over night did not present
change enough in the situation to de-
mand a meeting at this time.

London, July 1s.-If the news of a
Chinese invasion of Siberia proves
true it will, of course, immensely COM
plicate the situation from the inter
national point of view. As stated in
the ST. Petersburg dispatch of July 10,
the Chinese had already peremptorily
ordered all Russians to quit Man
churia, but no one imagined they
would be audacious enough to break
out of their own country and attack
Russian territory. Such an attack, if
it has been made, of course, consti-
tutes in itself a declaration of war,
rendering formal notification need

The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1900-07-21
An Additional Excuse.

A separate attack by the Chinese on
Russia means giving Russia, according
to the views expressed in Europe, ad-
ditional excuse for an isolated descent
on Pekin, and an additional claim to
assert greater influence than the other
powers and obtain greater compensa-
ton when the day of settlement ar
rives. Hence, extreme ~uneasiness has
been created in the chancellories by
this latest development.
Not Credited in London.
As to the latest Chinese
of the safety of the European lega-

these assurances have been dictated

Catching Frogs mt Night - Bright
Sayings of Little FOIks--WOud-
chuck ana BOboIink.

France Is called the. country of "frog
eaters" but 1t Is very likely that more
frogs legs are today eaten in the Unit
ed States than in any other country in
the world. Those who have ever tast-
ed the delicious flesh of frogs thigh
always want more.
Frog hunting Is always done Mt
night, and the darker the night the
better Nothing can be done ut catch
Ing frogs when the moon is out. The
hunters outfit consists of small fat
bottomed boat, a light, somewhat like
that used as headlight on locomo-
tives, though not as heavy; cane fish
Ing pole about ten feet in length, to
one end Of which Is securely fastened
q hook having three prongs extending
from single shank, and box with a
small sliding cover over the top, in
which to put the frogs. The hunters
always go In pairs, as one man cannot
manage the boat and catch the frogs
too.
With dark night and still water the
hunters fastcn their headlight on the
bow Of their boat. One OF them takes
his place back Of the light, with the
fish pole in his hand, while his com.
panion, who Is to act as punter of the
boat, takes the set pole with which to
push the craft along and stations him.

man in the stern shoves the boat for
ward slowly, steadily and noiselessly,
occasionally turning the bow from one
point Of the compass to another.
A frog is soon sighted. He sits. for
instance, on log, facing the boat. al a
distance of 80 or GO feet. His blink.
ing eyes are fastened upon the blind
ing light, which seems to possess for
him strange fascination. The boat
is moved cautiously toward him, care
being taken to prevent it from swcrv.
ing from its course, for the removal Of
the full glare Of the light from his eyes
for an instant would break the spell
and lose the frog. AS long as the light
is kept full upon him he remains with
out moving. The boat and men are be-

deep darkness.
Having reached point within five or
six feet Of the frog, the man in the
bow of the boat signals to his compan
ion with his hand, and the boat is held
still. Then he reaches out cautiously
with the pole and hooks. being careful
not to allow the pole or any portion Of
his arm to come in front of the ray Of
light and thus produce a shadow to
brighten the frog. The hooks are en-
tended until they are on the side of the
frog opposite the boat and directly
over the frogs back. A sharp. quick,
downward pull is then given the pole,
and Mr.. Frog is caught.
