SOCIALISTS CAUSE UPROAR

BERLIN, November 20.-An official of the
foreign office told a representative of the
Associated Press that punitive expeditions
against the Chinese would soon cease. and
that no others besides the present one would
be ordered.
A special dispatch to the Lokal AnZeiger
pUrports to give the result of the confer
ence of Herr Knappe. German consul at
Shanghai with Liu Kun vi, in which the
latter stated that he had not received an
appointment as of the peace commits
sioners, and professed not to have any in
fuence at court. He denied the purchase
of arms in Shanghai for fighting the for

Another statement, which appears in a
number of papers, declares that Herr
knappe was sent to confer with the vice
rOys of Nan Kin and WI Chang to obtain
their promises not to supply the court at
sian Fu with provisions and not to oppose
JOINT measures adopted regarding this mat

Japanese authorities.

pet. was present his majestys represen-
tative- The court and diplomatic boxes
were full. among those present being Sir F.
Lacelles, the British ambassador; Coun-
tess Won Buelow and Dona Laura Min
ghetu. Count Won Buelows reception was
decidedly cool. and only once was there
hearty applause; when the chancellor ad-
mitted that the government had asked in
demnity from China, then the applause was
remarkable.
Herr Lieber. Centrist and Herr Bebel So
cialist, both condemned severely the gov
eminent for violation of the constitution
mourning the expenses in China without
having first obtained the consent of the
reichstag, and for creating the China CO.
lonial army. Herr Leber sharply criticised
the emperor for his no pardon" speech
for declaring campaign of revenge and
for saying that no decision beyond the seas
must be reached without the emperor'S
consent. He branded the German style of

diers proving this. He denied. incidentally
that an American loan had served to pay
the campaign expenses.
Herr EebeI Creates Sensation.
Herr Bebel created a sensation when he
declared faulty the empires constitution.
Which does not provide specific punishment
for chancellor who violates it. The con-
stituton, he said alone prevented the chan

branded the German methods of warfare
in China and read score of letters from
soldiers there proving the charges he made

stance that the enemy had chance to

Persian Wit.

The author of Flowers from Per-
sian Garden" gives many examples OF
oriental wit, and humor, some of
which are extremely delicate and
pleasing. Among them there is n
story OF professional scribe to whom
q man went, asking that letter
might he written for him. The scribe
said he had pain In his foot. "A
pain in your foot!" echoed the man.
III don't want TO send you TO any
place, that you should make such nm
excuse" Every true" said the scribe,
but whenever I write letter for
anyone, / am always sent for TO read
IL, because no one else can make il
out" When a man becomes suddenly
rich, il not unfrcqucntly follows that
he becomes as suddenly oblivious OF
his old friends. Thus, Persian, hav-
ing obtained lucrative position at
court, n friend of his came shortly
afterward 10 congratulate him there
on. The new courticr asked him:
"Who are you, and why do you come
hcre?" The other coolly replied: "Do
you not know me, then? / am your
old friend, and am come TO condolc
with you, having heard that you had
lately lost your sight."-Youth's Com
panion.

dying man refused TO tell who had un-
dertaken the crime" The colonel
paused, stroking his gray Van Dyke
beard. us il any wonder that her face

she has had many advantageous Of
fers of marriage" put in Mr.. Hardy,
as he emptied his wine glass.
"IIundreds of them" enthused the
colonel. "Why, Gen. Beauclare fol-
lowed her about like a slave and SO did
Senator Waugh; l couldn't count the
men who were in love with her, but
she turned EN- all down."
The promenaders had quilted the
vcranda, and there was n light touch
on the piano in the drawing-room and
a sweci voice singing an old song
"That is her!' cried the colonel,
whose enthusiasm was not often gov
erned by rules Of grammar.
This was the signal for leaving the
table, and the men went into the big,
anoicnt-looking parlor where the
lights burned low and the breeze from
tie distant mountains famed the lace
curtains into the room. Evelyn sat In
a rocking-chair, her eyes on the sing
er's face. Caroline was noiselessly
placing a whist table and playing
cards near the center OF the room.
She, heI father Mr.. Hardy and Capt.
Wrinkle were the only ones who were
fond OF the game.
"But we shall interrupt the sing
ing" protested the colonel, when he
noticed the preparations.
81 shall stop IL you don't go on with
the game" declared the gentle old
lady, smile crossing her sweet sad
face; "and furthermore. | shall not
sing unless you all talk over your
game"
To this the joyial host agreed un-
der protest, and the whist-players took
their places. Evelyn sat at the end
of the piano near enough TO touch the
elbow of the singer. There was in
finite pathos In Mrs. Lancasters voice
as she sang:
''Dey amt no use fe.' TO fret an pine.
Steady on dc way. believers.
It's dc same ole worl' wen dc sun don'i

The colonel was dealing the cards,
hut he made n mistake In the count,
and with low laugh he threw the
cards down. 81 must wait till that one
is over anyway" he whispered. THAT

her pocket, and then helu on her
hand. "Good-by," she said again.
When Evelyn reached the house and
had entered the great hall she called to
her maid, Marie, mulatto girl, to take
care OF her ferns and flowers.
"Haye you seen Capt. Wrinkle this
morning." Evelyn asked.
The maid laughed impulsivcly as she
filed her hands with the damp green
things.
"Yessum, l seed i'm, an he acted
mighty strange. never seed man act
so quar- In my life" Again Marie
laughed.

Marie giggled again. She had, with
the usual perspicacity of her race,
OWNED that the officer was not in high
favor with her mistress.
At this juncture Capt Wrinkle,
dressed from .head to foot in snowy
duck, came down the front staircase,
and, bowling to Evelyn, he went out on
the veranda. Without speaking again
to Marie, Evelyn turned into her own
room to take off her damp apron.
She decided that She would later in
the day, ask Marie TO get the captains
coat.

men that he had In his pockets all the
money and valuables the wagon con-
tanned. He was still holding the child
on one arm and opening bis pockets
with another when the negro, seeing
that the robbers were not noticing the
wagon, whipped up the horses and
drove away nj full speed. Mrs. Lancas-
ter tried 10 stop him, but he was wild
with terror, and as the robbers were
now firing after them, he ducked his
head and applied the lash. The wom-
an was helpless; the negro was strong
and half insane. She argued with him
and pleaded with him 10 stop and let
her out, but he drove on like mailman.
IL was not till they bad reached farm
house nine miles from the scene OF the
robbery that she induced the negro 10
stop. Here they were received by a fam
lily in which there was one man too old
to do service in the war. He said he
was willing TO do what he could for her,
but that the 'bushwhackers,' who were
n power in the land, would hang him IL
he molested their plans. He went out
TO see IL he could get together any OF
his neighbors who would help her, but
when he returned at dusk he brought
the intelligence that he could find no
body who would dare take hand in
such an enterprise. She spent that
night in the farmhouse and the next
day she drove back absolutely alone in
search OF her husband and child. Near
the spot where she had been separated
from them she found her husbands hat,
the little cap worn by the baby, stained
with blood, and pool of blood by the
roadside. She spent all that day alone
on that road and returned at night to
the farmhouse. Here she stayed a
month making inquiries and searches
in all directions for more conclusive
proof of the death of her child and
husband. Finally the old farmer came
to her one day with the report that one
OF the robbers had just died and that
he had made deathbed confession that
he had shot and killed Capt. Lancaster.
The baby, he said, was not killed at the
time, as there was some reluctance
among the men as to who should do ii.
They had gotten over this difficulty by
drawing straws and the man upon
whom the task had fallen had prom
ised that he would drown the child, that
its death might be an easy one. This
was the only crumb of comfort the
poor lady got; think of that, gentle
men, she could only hope that her sons

Mrs. Lancaster's voice, which Evelyn
alone noticed. and hint Of moisture
in her eyes as the melody died in the
still room. She turned towards the
card players. who. with the exception
Of the dapper captain, seemed deep

she laughed, you are too polite TO

another STROLL
The view from the veranda was
Beautiful, and as the two walked back
and forth across the wide floor arm i'm
arm they enjoyed IL silently. The moon
had risen and hung like great globe
of yellow light just beneath float
ing canopy of filmy clouds. Two
rows OF wind moved elms stretched
out past the great iron-wrought gates
and between CLEANED the white ebert
drive. On n sloping lawn to the left
lay luxuriant parterres Of flowers d.
yersified by well-kept walks, and
smooth plots of grass. Near the CEN
ter stood a fountain, its sprays gleam-
ing like rain in an April shower
against the dark background of mag
nolia trees. The air which famed
their faces was laden with the per-
fume Of hyacinth and roses. When
they had walked several minutes in
silence they paused at the window
from which they had reached the ver-
anda, and looked In on the players.
Mr.. Hardy was dealing the cards and
Capt. Wrinkle was relating some sort
If experience Of his own which
seemed TO have reused the interest of
his host.
"Of course" the captain was saying,
"the fellows challenge was great SUR
prise to me. i confess that did drive
against him out of pure devilment, for
l had heard what an egothtical, pre-
sumptiyc ass he was, an / wanted TO
pay him back for throwing my tip
IN the river as if he were the prince
of Wales, but heaven knows, / didn't
think I'd get n bloody duel on my
hands. AS you know, colonel there
was nothing for me to do but to-
to make him see the absurdity of the
thing"
81 suppose not" returned the colonel,
in n noncommittnl tone. Whatever
may have been his secret opinion of
Wrinkles valor he knew his duty as
host too well to impugn II, or TO render
his guest uncomfortable by sharp crit
icism. "And what did you say to him 2"
he ended.
"Why, / told him, OF course, that his
challenge was n proof of downright
cowardice; that he knew well enough
that man in my position could not
fight man in his. That settled him.
He retired like a whipped cur"
"And you did not explain or apollo
gize?" slipped almost unconsciously
from the lips of the colonel.
'Not /, L assure you; ha, ha! Apollo
gize to him! That would have ruined
him forever"
Evelyn grasped the hand OF Mrs.
Lancaster, nervously, and drew her
across the room TO the players.
Your story, Capt. Wrinkle" she said,
her eyes flashing, reminds me very
much of piece Of fiction have read
somewhere. The circumstances were
identically the same except that the Of
flcer in the story allowed the hero TO
humiiiaie him by cutting Off the but
tons and shoulder-straps from his uni
form. am so glad your experience did
not end that way. The truth is your
case was far more agreeable than the
fiction in the other"
