DEEP HUMILIATION OF CHINA
BEFORE THE GERMAN EMPEROR

Berlin, Sept 5.-Emperor Williams $
reception of the Chinese mission of
aypintion, headed by Prince Chup.
which took place yesterday at Pots
dam, was marked with all the severity
consistent with an audience nominally
friendly.
The Chinese imperial envoy on en-
tering the palace, was not accorded a
salute by the Guarde du Corps. The
emperor received him seated and the
buttons and epaulettes of his mujes-
TVS white uniform We're enveloped in
crepe.
Prince Chun bowed thrice on enter.
Ing and leaving. Emperor William re-
mained seated during the reading of
the Chinese address. Afterward, how.
ever. he relaxed his stern demeanor
and welcomed the envoy courteously,
and subsequently, accompanied by his
adintunt, he called upon Prince Chun
Mt the Orangery. Later in the even
ing the emperor, Prince Chun and n
dozen members of the eXpiatory mis-
sion took tea on an island in the Ha-
vel.
The emperor had evidently arranged
the entire ceremony with Il view of
impressing Prince Chun with the feel
ing that the ceremony meant eXpi-
alton for n foul crime, and that only
through eXpiatlon had Prince Chun ac-
uuired the right to be treated with
prlncely honOrs. Not until after the
ceremony did the atmosphere change
Then. the troops outside having salut-
ed and the band having played hus-
sars escorted Prince Chun back to the
Orangery.
The imperial envoy seemed deeply
impressed with the solemnity of the
occasion, and when summoned to the
throne room he showed visible embar-
rassment. He bowed repeatedly while
approaching the throne, and his voice
was agitated while he was reading the
imperial address.
The entire manner of Emperor Will
lam was calculated to impress Prince
Chun with the solemnity of the cere-
monal. He spoke emphatic and
seriously. emphasizing particularly the
word civilized"
The cermony lasted only ten min

FORGOT HER PART,

From the London Spare Moments: A
well-known countess was ANNOUNCED
to speak at costers' gathering In the
East End recently. so the little daugh-
ter OF one OF the costers-a flower sell
er-was deputed to present the count
ess on her arrival with beautiful bou-
Quet.
The evening arrived. with an enthu-
siastic audience in the hail. and pres
emily the countess was announced.
The little girl. who had been coached
as to what to say. walked along the
platform to where her ladyship stood
and In her confusion convulsed every
one with laughter by shouting out:
Ere yer are. mum. Only a penny q
bunch-market bunch fer penny"
The countess smiled. accepted the

BEHAVING LIKE ALADY.

A little girl from an East End slun,
was invited with others to a charity
West End OF London. In the course OF
the meal the little maiden startled her
hostess by propounding the query:
Does your husband drink
Why. no." replied the astonished
lady OF the house.
After moments pause the mlnia-
ture Querist proceeded with the equally
bewildering questions:
How much coal do you burn? What
is your husbands salary? Has he any
bad habits?"
BY this time the presiding genius Of
the table felt called upon to ask her
humble gues. what made her ask such
strange questions.

INSULT TO THE TERRITORY.
If It is true that Secretary Hitch
cock called Governor Ferguson before
him, as country school teacher
would a truant boy, and lectured him
upon his duty as governor, it is another
strong and irresistible argument for
immediate statehood. l. thCLa state
ments are true, and Governor Fergu-
son does not deay them, they are
enough 70 make the blood boil in en-
indignant protest in every manly
bosom in Oklahoma. Out of the five
hundred thousand people, bona fde
citizens Of the territory there are
thousands upon thousands who are
just as intelligent just as wise and
lust as competent to understand the
needs ahd declare what Is best for
the territory and the best interest OF
her people, as Mr. Hitchcock is; yet
this old antiquated back number of
a goose. or gander as you please, sits
in the interior department and as
sumes to treat the people of the ter
rito7y as orphans, wards and imbe-
Giles. and calls before his throne the
chief executive and through him In
suits our people by prescribing rules
for his official conduct with the i'm
piled threat that If he varied there
from so much az a hairs breadth he
would be decapitated instanter with
out Judge or jury. If Governor Fer
guson was qualified for the office OF
chief executive, it was a piece of ar
rogant assumption and downright I'm
pudence on the part Of Hitchcock TO
lay down rules for his guidance with
threat hanging over his head and
incidentally, but not the less humih-
ating, an insult to every manly heart
In the territory. II he was not compe-
tent ne ought not to have been ap-
pointed. Take either horn OF the di-
lemma. It places not only the chief ex'
ecutive but the people over Whom ne
presides in a humiliating and unen-
vable attitude before the world, the
only certain remedy and escape from
which Is statehood. Public office Is
not only a public trust, but the offiee
OF chief executive Of this territory is
a high and honorable trust which
should nft its occupant above and free
from tfs whims and seedlings of a
garrulous old man.

the EVOLUTION OF
THE TELEPHONl

THE TELEPHONE.
Less than twenty-five years have
elapsed since the pubh4 became ia
millar with "hello, ccnhal,' yet the
number Of telephones now ins use
throughout the United States aggre-
gates 2,27S,71G
Telephones have become so com
monplace that we can hardly realize
that SO short an interval has elapsed
since the Introduction OF this modern
invention. Today the telephone is not
only found in every business establish
ment OF any Importance, but in almost
every home and what an immense
saving the invention has been to the
world can only be vaguely coajectur-
el. Time and money are not the only
things Of value which the telephone
has enabled us to save; It has also
enabled us to prolong our lives by
conserving our physical strength, by
sparing us many unnecessary steps
and by Kidding us of countless anxi-
cites and worries
Lord Macaulay was not far from
right when he said that Of all inven-
tions, the alphabet and the printing
press alone excepted, those inventions
which abridge distance have done the
most for civilization In this category
belong the steamboat, the locomotive.
the telegraph and the telephone; and
n the telephone is the least important
of the four it is nevertheless Of price
less benefit TO mankind.
Some idea of the growth of the tele-
phone industry in the United States
during the past decade may be OBJ
tanned from the figures recently com
piled by the American Telephone and
Telegraph company, showing the ad-
diaons made since 1892 to be as fol
lows. 4O.31S in 1892, 1871 in 1893,
16.O15 in 1894, 92,47O in 1895, 1851 in
1896, l46194 in 1897. 2O5.726 in 1898,
455.225 in 1899 and S72,3ll in 1900.
Long distance telephones are now
coming rapidly into general use and
soon the network Of telephone wires
which intersect the country will be as
finely spun as the network of railway
lines. Eventually the telephone will
no doubt largely supersede the tele-
graph.
