Those Terrible Little Things.

Look not with dark contempt upon !
The little things. for they
Keep playing big part in mems
Affairs from day to day;
A little piece of fuse alack!
May frlghten kings and czars- ~,
A little child upon the track
Sometimes delays the cars
Spurn not the little bits of things:
Ignore them not. because
Some little thing some Gay, may bring
Down men and all their laws;
If Pierpont Morgan stepped upon
rusty nail some day
The worlds support would all be gone,
'Twould lizzle right away

missionary Reports Of a Rebellion in
!. Mongolia Are overdrawn.
Picking, April 15:-Prince Ching
says all his reports go to show that
the missionary statements regarding
rebellion in Mongolia are not sup.
ported by the facts. Neither does he
believe that the rebellion of General
Tung Flu Hsiang amounts to much,

that Clint is in constant boil, rem
dering it unsafe for the foreign troops
to be withdrawn Those who have
this in view will magnify village
quarrel into big rebellion. The mis-
sionaries, naturally timid, take these
reports in good faith.'' y
The conduct Of the ministers of the
powers over the negotiations with the.
Chinese plenipotentiaries causes much
adverse comment among the military
authorities. Their dilatory tactics
have prevented what might have been
accomplished two months ago. Even
now the meetings Of the ministers are
postponed for the most trivial. causes.
For instance the desire of one minis
ter to go on a picnic to the tombs of
the Ming dynasty prevented the hold
ing of meeting for number of days.
Then M. de Giers and other ministers
insisted upon celebrating Easter and
hence a week was consumed. In q
third case an unnecessary visit by
one minister to Tien .Tsin held up the
negotiations for four days. These are
fair illustrations Of what has been al
most continuous from the beginning. !

Fuller, has issued an order granting
leave to file motion for. a rule
against the circuit court of appeals
for the Ninth. circuit to permit the
filing of an appeal in that court from
a decision of the supreme court Of
Hawaii in, the Wilders Steamship

acquisitions. The application in this
case was made by Duane E.. Fox in
behalf of the Wilder Steamship COM
pany OF Hawaii against Hind, Spreck-
els and others. Under the act of 1891,
organizing the circuit court Of appeals,
that body would govern jurisdiction In
appeals from the supreme courts of
territories. and the supreme court
was given authority to assign the ter
ritories to the several circuits. But
the courts in the territory OF Hawaii
were organized by the act of April 30,
1900, on different basis from other
and the same distinction
was made as in courts of a state as
to writs Of error and appeals, and the
supreme court Of the United States
made no order assigning the terri
tory. The act also provided that
cases pending at the date of the or
ganization of the territory should be
carried on to final judgment and exc
cution in the corresponding courts OF
the territory. It also established a
district court, having the jurisdiction
of the United States circuit court and
district courts. The supreme court
Of the territory rendered judgment
for $4,000 against the Wilder Steam
ship company, and when the company
attempted to appeal to the circuit
court Of appeals on April 1, 1900, re-
fused to entertain the appeal, hold

ments, though the sum total is still
! far in excess Of the amount of money
it Is believed here that China can
raise. It is the belief Of the state de-.
partment that the total claims should
not be allowed to exceed $50, 900
or $200,000,O0O. According to infor-
nation received here, the British
claim, so far as formulated, is reason
able in amount as compared with
other claims. In fact the United
States, Great Britain and Japan repre-
lent in these negotiations the moder.
ate element, whose desire is to pre-.
vent the imposition of charges that
shall destroy the Chinese government
and result in the division Of the en-
pire. None of the claims exceed $780,
100000 and even the largest is some
thing less than this amount. This is
believed to be the Russian claim,
which is fixed at $90,000,000. The
German claim is flexible. ranging be-
tween 100000 and $4,000, 900, but
is nearer the former mark at present
though it doubtless will grow. As al.
ready stated, the claim of the United
States is S25,000,000 and with these
few totals in mind it will be seen If
the remaining powers are to be al
lowed proportionate; share the az
gregate will be beyond China's abil-
ity to pay, which has been tentatively
estimated at $300,000,000.
Nothing has yet been determined
respecting the method Of raising the
Indemnity fund, even after an agree
ment Is reached. -,

CHARGES AGAINST MEADE.
Sensational Ending of Famous Court
 of Inquiry,

Washington. Sept. 1.-The longest court of inquiry in the history of the nevy that held at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, to investigate trouble in the marine corps, has come to sensational termi- nation, bringing in a recommendation which may result in very serious conse- quences for an officer of high rank. Major c H. Laucheimer and Colonel F. l.. Dem n.y. charged Colonel Robert l.. Meade with drunkenness on duty while an in- spection was in progress at the Brooklyn navy yard. Colonel Meade replied by charging Major Lauchheimer with mak- ing false report and Colonel Denny with reporting against him (Meade) in order to cover up Irregularities with con- tractors on Dennys part.
 The court of inquiry acquitted Major I.auchheimer and Colonel Denny of Colo mel Meade's charges. It sustained the charge against Colonel Meade and in ad- dition charged him with violation of the naval regulations in replying with a counter-charge when asked for a report, and also of false swearing on the wit ness stand. The court recommended that the Colonel be tried by court martial upon the charges.
 The court lasted four weeks, breaking all naval records for court of inquiry. In addition, it was marked by an eX- traordinary event in the fact that on the fifteenth day of the trial Commander West "a member of the court, was chal- fenged by Majoh Louchheimer on account Of alleged friendship for Colonel Meade and required to withdraw from member ship by his colleagues.
