THE LAWYERS CAT CAME BACK,
An Unsuccessful Attempt to Do Away

An Unsuccessful Attempt to DO Away
 With a Tramp Feline.
 A well known New Haven attorney IS nearly convinced of the truth of the saying that a cat has nine lives, he having had recently a personal eXpef- fence which proves to him that one te- line at least has charmed life. Ihls lawyers family has been away recently and while he was keeping bachelor s hall a tramp eat called at his house and appeared so friendly that the law yer decided to take the creature in He accordingly gave the cat the run of the house, fed it we'll and petted it. When his wife returned she discovered some thing that had not come to the notice of her husband. She found that the cat had habits unsanitary and not proper for a family cat, and so informed her husband The lawyer tried to drive the cat away, but could not do so.
 Last Saturday night this prominent and highly respected legal citizen might have been seen on Lighthouse Polft car holding under his arm parcel from which frequently came meWlng sounds which the lawyer stitled as best he could to prevent the other passengers on the car hearing Arriving at Light house Point he waited until the car started towards the city and then drop ped from the bag under his arm the cat which had displeased his wife.
 Happy and triumphant the lawyer re- turned home rejoicing that he had so easily disposed of the eat, but he reck- oned without that brute. The next morning as he sat at the breakfast table he felt something rubbing against his leg, and looking down he saw the cat which he had left at the Light house the night before. Then his wrath was aroused and he determined to get rid of the four legged Nemesis. He carried it down to police headquarters when he came down to his office and re- quested Signal Officer Flannery to help him kill -he beast.
 Flannery took the cat into the wo- mems quarters at the lookup and lock- ed it in a cell. Then the lawyer borrow ed a revolver fro ma policeman and going to the cell door he raised the re- volver and was about to take aim when flash went a streak of cat through q nOle III the NeHtildtluli sidlt. A scratching and clawing was heard in the shaft the sound soon ascending out of hearing. At last accounts that was the last seen of the cat, and those who saw lawyer frequently wander ing out of his office in the Temple yes terday, going around to the rear of city hall and gazing anxiously at the roof, may guess the cause of the legal gentle- mans anxiety

Stipulation Under Which the Former
 Hands a Large Force.

Berlin, July t0.-The foreign office to- day informed the Associated Press that all the powers had consented to Japan's landing a large force in China, but the stipulation was made beforehand that no powers could derive any advantage territorially for the fact of it's having more troops in China than the others. The Japanese government has express ed perfect willingness to send troops under those terms. The foreign office further denied the correctness of the statement by the St. Petersburg Herald that Germany and Russia made se- cret agreement last fall for common &C., ton in China, adding: The relations between the two governments have hitherto been so friendly and the agree ment on China so complete that trea- ty has been wholly unnecessary
 An official of the foreign office stated that the meeting of the foreign affairs committee of the Bundesrath, which will be held tomorrow, will be purely for the purpose of informing the other German cabinets of the status of the China question, and that no decision will be taken. The North German Lloyd mall steamer Gera has been chartered by the ministry of marine for a hospital ship for use in Chinese waters, and the same company's new steamer Strass- berg has been chartered for transport service there.
 The postal authorities publish the an- nouncement that the following tele- graphic connections are completely in- terrupted: Tien Tsn to Taku, via Hel- ampo and also Hong Kong to Macao and Maimanchinto Chalgan.

young Filipino presented himself for the place. Quite likely he knew about ten words each of English. Spanish and Chinese. He was. accepted though, and went below to fix himself up bunk in the stables. When the three Americans Were at dinner they concidered 1t time to feed the horses, and the boy was called.
 "Go down to the stables and feed the horses" said one of the men, kindly. No sabe go down." answered the boy.
 "Sabe throw yourselves out?' the scribe asked, impatiently. NO sabe, senor.''
 "Sabe 'hike'?" suggested one of the other Americans. (This word is the American soldierisma for "hot-foot'O "Hike,' repeated the young native, meditativey. "Hike-vamoose. Si, senor, sabe 'hike'-much vamoose."
 Hike out to the stables, then, and feed the horses" ordered the newspa- per man who first spoke, resuming his dinner.
 No sabe 'sta-bulls;' no sabe feed ]"
 At this juncture the three men said
 
 they are not essential to the compre- hension of the story
 "Sabe casa a-de-caballes'? was the next attempt (This means, literally, house of the horses" and is a pretty good stab at the Spanish for stables.)
 NO sabe, senor," the native replied, pathetically.
 "Sabe 'casa'?"
 "Si, senor.'
 How the devil will we tell him 'horses'?" groaned the sweating report err but the language of the American soldier was still full of resource.
 "Sabe skates ?"
 "Si,'' cried the boy, "sabe mucha skates"
 "Sabe 'chow-chow' (This was the last difficulty, and it is the Chinese ex- pression for feed" the world over.)
 "Si, senor; sabe 'chow-chow'
 And so the command was naly given in the following intelligible form: Hike out to the casa de skates and chow-chow."

LANGUAGES IN THE PHILIPPINES

 Some of the linguistic difficulties that are met with in the Philippines are sug- gested by a recent article in the Wash ington Post, from which we quote: or the butchering of good modern lan- guages and the singing in of the worn- out dead ones, l defy any one to find another town which can equal Manila. The Tagalc is at the bottom of it all. This language was crusted with the rust of centuries, ages before ages be- gan to be reckoned--before the square corners of the earth were worn round. Those whO have tried to learn 1t say thGt Chinese is Kindergarten work in comparison. Then the Chinamen came, and the two languages met, clashed and compromised. Then the Spaniard came. and not only covered the ante of the others, but saw them many better because his language is easy. Now comes the American soldier, and he shoveS into the nicely assorted pot the 3owery and the backwoods slang, and the language of the barracks, which is impressive alike to man and beast.
 Here Is an incident which came to my notice, and which illustrates how things are done under the circumstances outlined above. Three correspondents who lived together in one house found it necessary to hire a new stable boy. 4
