BALK AT SIGNING THE JOINT NOTE Ii and Ching Waiting to Hear

 Note Is Signed. u VISITS THE GERMAN LEGATION 
 Germany Is Not Yet Willing to Give It's Consent to the Proposition to
 Transfer Negotiations
 From Pekin.
u VISITS THE GERMAN LEGATION

Pekin, January S.-i Hung Chang is at signing he joint note when they con- sidered the question until the court was heard from again, explaining that the En- peror's edct directing them to put off sign ing prevented them from using the imperial seal until permission shall have been re- ceived, which permission they claim to ex- pect hourly.
 It ds known here among the Chinese that the extreme anti-foreign element is now in power and that the court favorites are now advising the Empress Dowager. Of these the best known are Id Chuan Lin a cabinet minister; General Ma and Tung Fug Slang. Their views coincide perfectly with those of the southern vdceroys, par ticularly with those of Ching Seang Tung, who has threatened to rebel if the note is signed.
 Li Hung Chang and Prince Ching both strongly urged the signing of the agree ment and they believe their councils must prevail. They have pointed out in the strongest possible terms that the very ex- istence of China necessitates the accept ance of the terms of the powers and that failure on the part of China to sign may mean that the allies will as soon as the state of the weather makes such steps feasible, send troops over the country and that parts of the empire heretofore un- touched will feel the scourge of war.
 The Germans have sent two companies of infantry to tine vicinity of Min Tombs, where trouble is reported.

STARTED CRUSADE
 IN PH|LADELPH
Bishop Potter Was Cen raI Fig ure at Great Mass
 Meeting.

Philadelphia, January 9.-A mass meeting of citizens, of which Bishop Henry c. Pot ter of New York was the central figure, was held in the Academy of Music tonight for the purpose of taking preliminary steps in starting a general crusade against vice in this city. The big building was crowded, most of those present being women. Bishop Potter, when introduced, was enthusiastic cally welcomed. He refrained from saying much about the condition of vice as it pre- vails in this city, leaving that for local speakers to tell He said there Is in the popular mind a belief that judges on the bench, men in the legislative halls and the smallest politicians are purchaseable. That such a condition could exist he said, was a dishonor.
 Bishop Potter then spoke of the great movement for better government started in New York, and said the conditions that ex- ist in Philadelphia are not different from those prevailing elsewhere. Spoilsmen and public officers who betray their trust should be given no peace. If Philadelphia would take up the work he said, the two cities could go forward hand in hand in the right direction.
 Rev. pr. Wyland Hoyt of this city said there were in Philadelphia lover seven hundred houses of women whose path led to death-'
 resolution was adopted to the effect that the oitizens of Philadelphia recognize that our city has fallen under the sway of its worst element, organized into political machine, which, by its control of vast reve- | hue, the spells of office, unwarranted use 2of political power and other agencies, af- ficts us with almost every form of misgov-

When Pomneii was DESTROYED there

When Pompeii was destroyed there
were very many buried in the ruins
who were afterwards found in very
different situations. There were
some found who were in the streets,
as if they had been attempting to
make their escape. There were
some found in deep vaults, IS if they
had gone there for security. There
were some found in lofty chambers.
But where did they find the Roman
sentinel: They found him standing
at the city gate with his hauds still
grasping the war-weespOn, where he
had been placed by his captain. And
there, while the heavens threatened
him, there while the flood of ashes
and cinders overwhelmed him, be
had stood at his post; and there, af-
ter thousand years, he was found.

HeredltY In Cats.

Why does a cat walk around upon
the hearth rug about five minutes
before he takes his seat? I'm sure,
as the English people say, 1 don't
know. a neighbor of mine, how
ever, was watching his cat going
through the gyrating prehminaries
the other evening, and he told me
what he believed to be the truth of
the matter. He says he got his
facts from Darwin. l hope he did,
but as the children in the Seventh
Reader say, Zone can't always tell I"
1t seems that a cat belongs to the
leopard, panther and tiger race, so
that no amount of domestication
has been able TO eradicate inherited
tendencies. The animals mention
ed live in the woods-when they are
not in the geological gardens-and
they have no hired help 10 prepare
beds for them. When ready to go
to rest, they have to find fallen
leaves and tree branches, not well
assorted. They tramp round and
round on the spot where they pro-
pose to lie until it is reduced to the
necessary condition for couch.
Our friends cat was just carrying
out the tradition.
