AUTHORS TAKE WARNING.
Your Publishers May Get Damages II
You Put Upon Them q Badly
Written Book.

A curious case between publisher and
author came to conclusion with a
verdict that was substantially, if not
technically, for the author. The pub
fishers get rs cents instead OF the $40
they claimed. The author gets the Sl25
Of his counterclaim for final payment
due under the contract.
The publishers sued the defendant be-
cause a work on Imperial Britain"
which they had employed him to
write, contained good many inaccura
cies. Il was, in consequence, they said,
unfavorably received, and they lost
money by it.
But the weak point of their case was
that they passed it for publication with
all it's inaccuracies. and evidently with
out any reading" worthy of the name.
They were thus on the horns of dilem-
ma. If they had read it, they We're re-
sponsible for its errors. If they had not,
they had little right to complain.
The defendant really seems to have
FRED by excess of zeal. He consulted so
many books Of reference On the subject
that he got them mixed. He had given
to Wales Merthyr Tydfl for a capital.
and had set down china clay, soda, ar
senic and epson salts under building
stones. An earthworm wormed itself
in among his reptiles" and he ,ir, III
ally granted the Isle of Man it's indie
pendence by failing to include it among
the British isles.
On these points he made the most
handsome acknowledgements. The ar
/ senic and the salts got in through q
mistake in the numbering. A mistake
Of that kind would account for any
thing. With their peculiar system o.
revision, the publishers ought to have
, congratulated themselves that brick.
and mortar did not get in among thu
| medicines.
In regard to another blunder, he de
clined, with charming candor, to defend
! the statement that Pretoria was tn
capital Of British Zambesia. Yet i
might have been, if some of US ha<
had their way with the Transvaal.

would bear editing in open court?-

Not a great DEAL" was the reply,
although there are some places for the
proper men. None should come with
out some capital, but with a few thous-
and dollars there are opportunities for
the right men to do well in coffee rails
ing, cooperative sugar planting and
small farming. There are some few
government lands left, and the ten

large plantations so that the crops may
be raised by many small farmers

They do so to some extent in con-
nection with the Japanese and the Por-
tuguese. We have in round numbers
about 21,000 Chinese, $4,000 japanese
and $4,000 Portuguese on the islands.
They are chiefly employed as workmen
upon the sugar plantations: some of
them raise rice and do small farming.
Since the annexation no Chinese have
been imported and as far as the gov

She Must Not Be Disregarded
In Chinese Affairs.
HOLDS BALANCE OF POWER

That Country Is Hampered by the
Same Maneuvers as During Her Mile

YOKOHAMA, Nov. 28.-A speech made
by Mr.. Kato, the newly appointed min
lister of foreign affairs, indicates that
Japan finds herself involved in the same
difficulty III the diplomatic maneuvers
now progressing in China that she I'M
derwent in her military operations.
Just as the supposed necessity for con-
certed action caused the disastrous delay
then, so this country finds itself ham,
pered because of having to walt upon
the action of the allied powers with all
the impossibility of their coming to an
agreement.
The enormous commercial trade which
it has at stake in North China, as well
as the patriotic sentiment which will be
aroused upon the least encroachment
upon it's rights in Korea, will make it
incumbent upon the western powers to
be very cautious about sighting the
counsels of the nation holding the bal
ance of power in tee Orient.
Comment is rifeland much sympathy
expressed concerning the almost impos-
sible task imposed upon Count Won
Waldersee in China, while he is prac-
tically left without command or suffi-
cient authority to enforce it. Russia,
France, Japan and America practically
ignored his credentials and numerous

COnger Directed to Withhold His Sig
nature-President Desires to Make
Changes In the Document In Con-
formity With Our Policy.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.@The state de
partment has cabled Minister Conger to
forward the text of the agreement
reached by the foreign ministers at Pc
king. Meanwhile, he will withhold his
signature until the president has had an
opportunity to satisfy himself as to this
important document and to make such
changes as will bring it in accord with
our policy.
1t is safe to predict that this particu
lar agreement will not become effective
in its present shape, 1t appears that,
upon inquiry direct to the powers them
selves, their ministers at Peking have
not correctly reflected their present
views as to the basis of the peace nego-
tiations. This statement certainly is
true as to a majority of the powers in
terested and the fact is regarded as war.
ranting the prediction that the agree
ment must be modified or abandoned.
1t is learned at the state department
that while these negotiations are drag.
ging along at Picking, all American con.
suls in China are achieving practical
and valuable results by individual eff
forts. They are addressing themselves
in cases directly to the viceroys of the
great provinces. where American prop.
erty interests have suffered, to secure
indemnity and reparation, and in most
cases they are succeeding very well.
1t is surmised from the latest Chinese
advices that the English consuls are do.
ing likewise, and are collecting many
claims and the moneys are being turned
over to the mission interest which suf-
fered.
If this movement continues it is en-
tirely possible that neither the United
States nor Great Britain will be obliged

Uruguay to Sever Friendly Relations
With BraZil-BOIivian Rebellion.
Rio DE JANEIRO, Nov. 28.-Of1cial in
formation of positive character has
confirmed the report that Uuruguay is
about to sever friendly relations with
Brazil 1t is admitted that the govern
ment at Montevideo- has intimated that
it will soon hand his passports to the
Brazilian minister.
The cabinet has discussed the attitude
of Urugay, but in the absence of def
mite action has not decided what course
shall be pursued.
Bolivia is also showing some feeling
against Brazilians. It's minister has pre-
sented a protest against alleged support
given to the republic of Acre by the au-
thorities of the state of Amazonas.
The Bolivian minister informed the
minister of war that the Bolivian troops
have been hampered greatly in their
work of suppressing the rebellion be-
cause supplies have been received by the
insurgents through Brazilian territory.
Through it's soldiers and its friend
ship with Peru the Bolivian govern
ment has been able to stop war supplies
from the west. It's officers, who are
endeavoring to suppress the trouble, re-
port, however, that the rebels, many of
whom have come from the state of Am
azonas, have no difficulty in obtaining
munitions by way of the Amazon and
Purus rivers.
Brazil is asked to take decisive meas
ures in cooperation with Bolivia to end
the rebellion.

EMDEN, Ills, Nov. 28.-Four masked

secured all the funds of the bank, be-

When the robbers discharged their
first blasts of dynamite in an effort to
open the vault, the explosion aroused o
citizen, John Alberts, four blocks away.
Alberts hurried to the bank. One OF
the robbers was on guard in the street.
He seized Alberts, who was bound hand

where he witnessed the gang drilling
into the vault door, making ready sec

met by Night Patrolman Sanford, who
attempted to arrest them. One OF the
robbers fired and Sanford fell mortally

SENATOR ALLISON TALKS.
Speaks Interestingly of the Forthcom-
ing Session of Congress.

CHICAGO, Nov. Ex-senator w. B.
Allison of Iowa, chairman of the senate
finance committee, in an interview here
discussed the pressing business to come
before the forthcoming session Of con-
gress.
One object of the session, he said,
must be to avoid an extra session, and
therefore he thought the first business
of the short session should be to take up
and pass the regular appropriation bills,
including the river and harbor bill,
which did not pass the last session.
"Then," he said, "an army bill must
be passed. Exactly what do not know,
but the condition confronts us of the
army reduced by law to an extent not
equal to the national necessities. The
first of July, 1901, by a stroke reduces
the army to 1880 men. Prudence, at
least, suggests that under existing con-
ditions some measures be taken against
that date.
Gin my opinion the stamp taxes gen.
orally should be removed. To repeal
the tax on beer alone would mean a re-
duction of from $25, 900, 900 to $50, 000,-
900. Such reduction is obviously too
large and bit of legislation will be
necessary at the short session.

REMAINS OF AHUMAN FOSSIL
Formation Below the Devonien Age
Dug Out of a Mine.

FLORENCE, Ala, Nov. %. - Judge
Thomas R. Roulhac of Sheffield has in
collection the fossil remains of a man
and corn cob pipe found in the Bo-
nanza mine of brown hermatite ore, 60
feet below the surface, near Russell
vile. These specimens are in splendid
preservation and have been pronounced
genuine human fossils by DR.. Phillips
of Birmingham and other well known
scientific authorities. The steam shovel
in digging the ore broke the fossilized
remains.
The formation is below the Devonian
age and it is one of the problems of ma
ture that will never be understood as it
was before man is supposed to have in
habited the earth. Judge Roulhac will
present the fossil to the Smithsonian in
stitute with Indian and other relics, in
Guiding the molar of a mastodon found
in the limestone quarry of T. L. Eos
sick e Co., near Darlington. This Sec
ton is peculiarly rich in Indian remains
and evidences of prehistoric races.

WILL NOT TAKE INITIATIVE
France Wills However, Join the Pro-
Boer Movement.

PARIS, Nov. 2S.-The conversation
which former President Kruger had
with the French minister of foreign
affairs, NJ. Delcasse, yesterday was con-
fined to the former sounding the latter
as to the probable attitude of France in
certain eventualities. Mr.. Kruger did
not press for a definite statement and
the conversation lacked preciseness.
NJ. Delcasse let it be understood that
France had not changed her attitude
since he explained the governments po-
sitions in the chamber of deputies last
March.
France will not take the initiative in
Intervention in South Africa, but will
not discourage any other country
from so doing. On the contrary, she
will join in such initiative if it is taken
under such conditions as appear to her
to merit acquiescence.
