RANSOM AS A PRINCIPLE.
Whenever a case OF kidnapping foi
the purpose Of demanding a ransom
comes up, the propriety OF meeting
the cashdemand is always raised.
When Mr.. CudAhy Of Omaha gave
e25 900 to restore his son from cap.
tlvity many condemand him on the
ground that itencouraged the crime.
II is always difficult to weigh a
matter OF this kind judicially and
without feeling or prejudice when
a parent knows that bis child may
be killed or crippled for life II the
money is not forthcoming. The
parent who would hesitate to rescue
the child with cash would be
suspected OF caring more for his
money than for his child, and no
one would credit him with acting
on principle.
When the case does not ap peal to
the parents but 10 society generally
as IN the affair Of Miss Stone, It Is
easier to discuss the question calm.

SURPRISED BY
ADMIRAL SCHLEY
Naval Officials Felt Certain
That Admiral HOwiSOn
Was Not Biased

Washington, Aug &c. Discussion
of the schley case today IN official cir
cles was confined almost entirely to
the unexpected challenge of Admiral
Howison Promptly upon he publica-
tlon Of an alleged interview in which
he was quoted az a Sampson partisan
The navy department instituted inquiry
10 ascertain whether he was preju-
diced. He had been selected after
expressing himself free OF bias. and
the charge that he had discussed the
Santiago engagement as a defender
OF Sampson was unknown to the Of
hcials Admiral Howison repudiated
The in erview. according to the naval
officials, and all question Of mis- quail
fcations as a member of the court
was dismissed The officials cannot
understand what Admira, schley ex-
poets to accomplish. further than o
put Admiral Howison on record.
Lieutenant Roger Wells. who will
be remembered in Chicago from his
connection with the worlds fair,
where he was in charge Of the cara
wells, has been summoned o Washing
on to assist Admiral Schley in the
preparation of his case. He was flag
lieutenant upon the Brooklyn during
the destruction Of Cervera's fee. and
is familiar with all the orders thar
passed between schley, Sampson and
the department
Although prohibited by the orders
of the depar ment from in any way
discussing the Sampson schley con
troversy, naval officers do not hest
tate to characterize as absurd the
Claim of Waller b. Adams of Bel
lows Falls, VT, that he was responsi

lyn in the battle of Santiago. Until
the court of inquiry has heard the
testimony Of the officers Of the Brook
lyn there will be some question as &c
the one who was really responsible
lor this maneuver which has been sc
severely criticised Cap ain F. A
Cook has said that he was responsi
BILE, and Admiral Schley has been will
ing to assume full responsibility The
command was given by one of these
officers. AS for Adams, he had moth
ing to do with the execution Of the
order.

THE "PlGTAlL" in CHINA.
Certain sects Believe II Is Essential
to Salvation.

Every one knows how sacred a cue or
''pigtail' is to John Chinaman. To lose
his cue is almost as bad rs to lose life
itself. Should a Chinaman return to
China without his cue he would become
an object OF scorn and derision.
Dress, like other things, undergoes its
change in China. but the style of the
pigtail has remained the same for centu-
rcs ana is handed down from parent to
child without fear of change.
For many years prior To lGli the ma
tive cmpcrors of the Chinese dynasty
compelled their subjects to wear long
hair over the whole head and TO twist it
into turf or coil The first emperor Of
the Mantchoo dynasty, who ascended the
throne in lGii. determined To make the
consul of Manchuria the token of the
submission of the Chinese of the entire
country to his authority.
Shortly after his accession 70 the
throne he ordered his subjects to shave
all the hair from their heads except on
the crown and to allow the hair on that
particular part TO grow long and dress
il according TO the traditional custom of
Manchuria
This proclamation was received with
universal disapproval, except in Man
churla. bu II had to be obcycd. Final
ly the custom prevailed throughout the
length and breadth of China. and the
style then adopted rs a duty is worn now
by choice. 80 much long communion

They believe that after death Confucius
will lift them by their pigtails into the

Schopcnhauer Calvin, Moore and the
