CoNGBR ENTERED PROTEST.
Minister TO China Has Fought the Proposed
Military Observation-Disclosures to
Have $4,000 Men.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-During the
cabinet meeting Tuesday a cablegram
from Minister Conger was submitted
referring to the proposed military
expedition in China, under command
Of Count Won Waldersee. It disclosed
the fact that our minister had pro-
tested to the ministers council against
hostile movements of this character,
but that his protest had failed to re-
ceive consideration, the other foreign
ministers taking the ground that they
had no authority to influence mill
tary operations one way or the other
America Said to Be the Stumbling Block
London, Feb. 2O.-The Daily Chroni-
Gle, which regards the expedition as a
practical UItimatum, says: what
ever the morality of the proceeding,
it is more dignified than continual
chafering. China viii never believe
that we are in earnest until she has
ocular demonstration. America is the
only stumbling block, and she has
shown herself throughout the present
negotiations to be utterly impractical

The famous ''Black Cat" cabaret in

the Boston Herald says:
The name Chat Noir was given to
the cabaret because this worthy Bohe-
mian, at the end Of his resources, caus-
ed his favorite black cat to be cooked as
succulent "fricassee' of rabbit with
plenty of onions. At the end of the des-

conascation In Morocco.

It is custom in Morocco that all the
property OF an official reverts at death
to the crown. The logic which leads TO
such a result is simple. for the govern
ment argues that all fortunes thus ac-
cumulated consist Of moneys Illegally
retained by the authorities. A gov
ernor when appointed is probably pos
sessed Of no considerable fortune.
When he dies. he may be million
aire. Whence came his wealth? SQueez-
ed most certainly from the tribes under
his authority and therefore amasSed
only by the prerogatives Of the position
in which the sultan had placed him.
It has never struck the Moorish gov
ernment that these great fortunes
might more honorably be returned to
the people from whom they were sto-
len. The result is entire conlscatlon
to the crown, including often such pri-
vate property as his governor may
have been possessed Of before his ap-
pointment and not seldom, too, of the
property of his relatives.
When the mighty fall in Morocco, the
crash brings down with them their
families. even uncles and cousins and
all connected with them, and it is not
seldom that the sons Of great gov
ernors, who have been brought up in
the luxury Of slaves and horses and
retinues of mounted men, have to go
begging in the streets.-BlackWood.

Cause of Taueyrand's Lameness.

The cause of Talleyrand's lameness
has long been a matter Of dispute.
Some stories have it that the defect
was consenital; others that it was oc-
casioned by an accident which befell
him in his infancy. The NEST curious
explanation of all is that offered by a
writer in The Quarterly Review. ITO
quote the very words Of our informant.
an eminently distinguished diplomat"
says the writer, "TalIeyrand's Vienna
colleague. Baron Wessenberg. told me
years ago that his lameness was owing
to carelessness Of his nurse, who laid
him down in field while she firted
with her sweetheart and on coming
back to her charge found some pigs
dining on the infants legs. am sure
that Wessenberg told me this as an
esta ablished fact. and am all but sure
that his authority was Taileyrand him

Our Last Cargo OF Slaves.

Captain Foster was the commando:
Of the slave ship Clotilda that brought
the last cargo Of slaves to the United
States. The trip was made only after
many thrilling scenes requiring weeks
of skillful maneuyering and dangerous
exploits. Just before the north and
south engaged in war Captain Foster
built the Clotilda and announced that
he would make a trip to the gulf OF
Guinea despite the fact that United
States war vessels had burned and
sunk the ships Of many who tried the
voyage. He was warned repeatedly OF
the dangers attached to such an under
taking. but be equipped his ship and
sailed away.
He reached the African coast after
going out of his course many times and
remained along the coast for month.
He succeeded in getting 100 negroes on
board before he was detected by the
watchful vessels Of the United States.
He was pursued. but easily outdis-
tanced his pursuers. and two months
later arrived in Mobile bay with his
human cargo. a steamboat met the
slaveship during the night. and the
negroes We're transferred in order to
avoid tie custom house officials. Cap
tain Foster set his vessel or fire and
passed through Mobile without being
detected. The government authorities
hunted for him for months. but he
eluded them until the close Of tie war,
when he retired from the sea.
