The troops are distant about 27

advanced they fled. The Tartar cavalry

I'm 1896 we carried the house by a

our favor our majority was increased.
but we can not now depend on the dis
trlcts the contestants came from. We
had three congressman from North Caro-
Ina, but OF course since the disfranchise-
ment OF the negroes, we shall not get a
representative from that state. In 1898
we had two from Kentucky, but one was
elected by the narrow margin OF 10. We
are not counting on that district as GER
tain. The other district in Kentucky
gave us large majority, and they can
not count US out of it. We had one
representative from Texas, from the
Galveston district, but it is always close
there and the presidential election NAV
change the result this time. This makes
total OF five that we are almost sure
to lose from what we now have, leaving
US bare majority OF four.

from the southern states that alWays
gave a solid congressional delegation for
them. In some OF the northern states
they have 40 per cent OF the congress-
men. In New York they have 18 in the
present house, or 60 per cent OF he New
York delegation. So, on the face OF the
outlook, their chances for carrying the
house are better than ours, but | am
sure we should defeat them and have a
majority again.
"We are going about the campaign in
practical way. In 1898 we sized up
the situation and found that we would
lose 80 districts east of the Missouri
river, so we went to work in districts
that had been doubtful and were success
full in carrying enough OF them to give
US lead. We expect to get the same
results again and to redeem any dis
tricts against US in 1882

WANT TO PATCH UP PEACE.
Chinese VicerOys Beg Good Offices
of United States.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE viecroys
OF China, including Lii Hung Chang, have
addressed request to the United States
government to use its good offices with
the powers to stop the landing of for
elgn troops at Shanghai. The state de-
partment received the communication
today from Minister WI, who received
it late last night. The document states
that an agreement was made about a
month age by which the foreign govern
ments exercised the right of protection
over the city of Shanghai. This pro-
lection, it is claimed, can be amply car
ried out without the landing OF troops,
as the vicerOys state there are 20 foreign
warships how in the harbor, and are
able to protect the interests of foreign
ers and maintain order. The viceroys
also urge that the landing OF troops will
incite disorder.

IeeIandie Honesty.

To the average reader Iceland is as
little known as the interior of Africa.
Yet Iceland is famous country, ia
nous for the achievements of it's he
roes, for the poetry and prose it has
given the world, and, ahoxe all, for the
education that pervades all classes.
The love of learning is almost a ma
mia in Iceland. and il is the rarest
thing in the world to meet a native
who cannot read and write.
Another admirable trait is the re-
markable honesty which prevails in
Iceland. Crime is almost unknown;
the people never lock their doors. and
but two cases of thieving are known
to have taken place within many years.
One was an Icelander who had bro
ken his arm, and whose family in the
winter were suffering for food. He
was at once put under medical care
for his injury. and in time he was
given work. This was his punishment.
The other case was d German who
stole seventeen sheep. He was in com
Portable circumstances. and the theft
was malicious. His punishment was
to sell all his property, restore the
value of his thefts and leave the coun-
try or be executed. He left at once.
